What are you saying?
Are you one of those people who like to say - "do not criticize-do better!" ?
Then say it to yourself when you are dissatisfied with the purchased purchased food in the store, or you do not like the car in the auto-salon...
Why would i write that code? I'm not a developer - i do other things.
I was only talking about books.
There work - it's copy-paste with some tuning. Is this seriously a significant innovation for new alpha? You that truth important how many books will, 100 or 103? Well, for that matter, he announces 3 and removes 10...
Finding and correcting bugs is a complex process, even if you need to change one bit. I didn't say anything about the ease of it.

I love your work 
What will be nice?
NPC#s and bandits - roaming and bases with them
An overall goal - to find the reason for Z's or a cure
more animals - neutral ones
underwater life - fishes, snakes, gators
boats & fishing
binoculars
grills and ovens working
water from taps, bath tubes and showers
That's it from my side ;-)

That is funny they aren't even on the list. As I said A19 might be a 2 month mini build, it might be a 2 year mega build, in which case you could probably count on bandits. It might be a multiple point release build with 19.1 having books, 19.2 having vehicle updates, .3 legendary, .7 graphics, .9 bandits. I don't know yet but bandits are so far out I wouldn't expect them in 19.
Writing the xml is not the only work. Someone also needs to invent the content of those books so they fit the game, add useful stuff and generate fun for some people. Anyway, should MM not list those new books just because they are only XML ?
Which 10 books will be removed by the way?

Welllll - Quality depends on how good you are at lets say (blender)
and what kind of Plugins you have
And your attention to detail vs just putting it out to calm the masses
Just saying bro

3 new book sets can be a significant undertaking. Design, art, wording, code for xml, new code for new functions, icons, localization, additional models if they unlock crafting something new, etc. Add to loot, traders, recipes for new unlocks. People think stuff is so easy. These are the same people who never accomplish ♥♥♥♥ with their own lives because they are too busy pointing fingers at how everyone else is doing it wrong.

I don't think you know what goes into making a quality product. Just a few things with bandits:
Art and design, armor, how they scale in visual threat level a player can identify with. Model texture and rig, then make a prefab with ragdoll and other requirements.
AI code and behavior: Patrol, play animations at key points to look realistic when not in combat, make idle conversation, make combat barks, take cover, retreat, heal, use a variety of weapons, animate realistically, path intelligently.
Write VO lines, order VO, process vocals, tune in volumes distances, etc.
Loot drops, XP, harvest data, dead body hit points.
Leveled list integration. Getting all these elements working together and all of it feeling polished and not glitchy is a huge undertaking.
Retune stealth (these are humans not zombies)
Implement use of items, ranged weapon aiming, look up and down controllers, crouch, a whole different mechanim controller with logic for every transition.
Anyhow its a lot of work, not just reskin a zombie and call it done.

Why not? Empyrion did it. Their npcs are awful. Morrowind level awful.
On topic:
While books are a big undertaking, you guys did pull quite a few of them in just 3 weeks. I remember the easy ones being done in under a month. There were others that were waiting for new systems and weapons to be in place so those took longer (believe it or not you tell us A LOT of stuff haha).
I would love if you could show us some screenshots. Maybe a vehicle mod? Maybe another sweet thing?
You used to love us like your children and give us treats every couple of days.

Ugh.... from my understanding of being self employed for almost 30 years is that low quality products and services fail. Why would we jeaprodize our good review and all the hard work to add a half assed feature? Life is like bodybuilding, you get out of it what you put into it, there are no short cuts and they don't ever pay off when you try them.
I get a little optimistic about stuff or misinterpret the status sometimes. Gazz says its nearly done but then a month later 40 books were marked as unfinished. There are a lot more than 3 book sets, I only announced the ones I know are easy, there are some others that are super cool, but also very ambitious so I am not even talking about them until we can get the required missing books done.
Treats have to be earned
You guys have literally been ♥♥♥♥heads lately since the new wore off of A18, making selfish demands, rude remarks, and poor critique. Regardless I'll release stuff when I get around to it, there is a lot piling up so I can release more soon.
