PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

Well in that case. Just point me in the direction of the details.

It's throughout this 2.0 thread, mostly from faatal.  Easier probably to ask about whatever you aren't sure of, though you could do a search for his posts in this thread.

Short explanation is that each biome other than the forest has a hazard that will slowly kill you after a few minutes in the biome until you have completed a series of challenges for that biome to create a kit that provides immunity.  You have to do the biomes in order and each subsequent biome kit protects against the earlier biomes as well.  You can still go into the biomes using stuff to temporarily protect or heal you before you complete the kits.

Hazards are:

Burnt forest: Smoke

Desert: Heat

Snowy Forest: Cold 

Wasteland: Radiation 

It is basically just a gating mechanic for biomes.  For me, it is just a reason not to go into other biomes.  But since it can be disabled, I'll try it once and then probably never use it again.

Oh, and loot will get capped per biome if enabled, making it so you have to go to the higher biomes to get the best loot.

Are we still on track with the 15th for V2.0EXP? Because i just saw that there will be a network stress  test for Bloodmoons on Saturday the 12th, which would be during the streamer weekend for V2.0. A bit odd of a timing imho. Unless people aren´t allowed to stream during the Bloodmoons stress test.

And again, why is there nothing to find about a release date in the effin offical forums. It´s a under a minute copy and paste ffs.

This should be no surprise, but it will be pushed back at least a few weeks. Features not yet complete, some major bugs and heavy testing needed.

I'll add.... You should be aware of why they don't give "release dates". It's an estimate, and that could be missed.  You've certainly been around long enough to know how TFP operates.

They did give this out on Facebook. For the 15th. If you post on one platform it´s a matter a few minutes to post on all. It´s the offical forum ffs.

"Should be no surprise" is a bit flippant about the 3rd delay of this first major update which was initially promised in Q4 2024. Maybe it's time for an updated roadmap.

I guess there're grounds to say the roadmap was misleading at a glance, but there were no promises. It said "subject to change". That is why roadmaps with time periods listed are a mistake. Too many people will never understand and always think roadmaps are ironclad. The times listed on roadmaps are almost never met, no matter the game. And I'm sure you can dig up examples of when roadmap times were met, but those are the exceptions. 

You're right. They should update the roadmap, and remove the time periods.

I didn't even realize they were still putting posts on Facebook. I hadn't seen one there in ages, so I stopped watching it.  Lately they seem intent to only post information on the Twitter platform everyone hates.

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but TFP has set some expectations for being non-communicative and completely wrong when they do communicate an eta.

 
One thing that I would just love to see go away is the range limit on robots. Like the power-sledge. It can be a pain if you have a large base and you don't want to stand over it, just so it will work. 

 
Been a while since I've been paying attention super hyped for the next big patch drop after the last few updates.. gotta admit, I was really hopeful the mid-late april window would be reached... but I've been on this ride long enough to know it's not ready 'till it's ready.

More weather survival other than, it's dark out, or it's wet out! A happy day indeed. I'm curious to see how progression feels in the new update. It's been a while since I've played, a little over half a year, but I remember feeling like the biome progression had improved significantly..

.. Hopefully May!

I got a bit confused there... Is the pushback for Bloodmoons test or V2.0exp?

You dare break your binding covenant??

...forged from the blood and souls of countless adherents sacrificed to permanently etch the agreed upon date into the Tapestry of Fate???

A fixed point in time shining as a great beacon in the chaos; giving precious hope to those lost in the Immaterium?????

Have you gone mad??????

Oathbreaker! Heresy!!!

I have friends who keep asking me if this game is "worth it" yet for console...I want to tell them "almost". I can play up to tier 5 POI's with a Xbox "s"...if console had dedicated servers it would be in a acceptable state, for us, to wait for the rest of the content/optimization, I just have no idea when that will happen. Every delay puts them off the game. IF...and only IF this is the last small delay for THIS update, the game will have been out for almost a year before they accomplish the first road map marker. It should not be controversial to point out that consoles are still waiting for basic features we should have had on launch...they are not giving us a reason to be enthusiastic or to help them sell this game to our friends. I hope they get there, and won't apologize, for wanting that to be sooner than later. Those of you advocating for TFP to stop setting dates...why? because they never meet them?

Tbf I have a blast solo and once dedicated servers come out I'll have even more fun rn I'm trying to earn the achievement for living for 800 minutes 

I do agree the game needs more content. And that's why I never shut up lmao. And soon ima work on a video about progression 

but in terms of polish at least on console. It runs pretty good.  I'm on Xbox X. I have a S and I might give it to my girl to play with me. So I'll see how that runs. 

And in terms of dates... I use to be an ark player so dates aren't real! But I understand the frustration.  

While I don't like the Pimps only telling us hard core forums user's dates while leaving the public in the dark. That's not up too me. If I could run an official news site I would.

It's not because of Bloodmoons. They need to finish the features and fix critical bugs for v2.0EXP

Im.still worred about bloodmoons and I understand why they are doing it but they should just combine forces and work on 7dtd. 

Imagine how quick updates could get done. Or how big they would be 

 
Has there been a look at the new attribute/skill trees? That would help me deal with the delay a bit better *hint hint*

Mostly I'm curious about the general skills.

Me too! I am fully expecting cooking and farming to go to the general skills tab. Maybe meat harvesting as well?

I can also imagine influence perks might go there as well but I'm not sure what would replace them. But everything else makes sense and sits well where it is currently.

I'm mostly curious about the new perks. Hopefully it's something completely new and interesting and not, for example, spliting run & gun into one perk per tree like they did with flurry of blows.
