Streamers may get it first, that was a thing in at least one of the last Alphas and let's just say that while the main reason is marketing, it's not the only reason... and one of the reasons, at least the last time was to find some bugs in real gameplay and catch them on the video. This time however, we've heard time and time again how they are getting close, how they are fixing bugs like crazy, polishing it to make it look like a whole new game and other things like that.

Um...............no. Catching bugs was a pleasant side effect of releasing to Streamers first last Alpha. It was not the intended reason for doing so. Devs have said so themselves.

Also no to the second point. Matter of fact we've been told the exact opposite. Expect to still have bugs in the experimental A17. What they are working on is gamebreaking bugs.

It will NOT be a polished bug free experimental, no matter what delusion you have drawn up in your head.

You do? Honestly? Really? You honestly really think 7Days is going to be abandoned?
I honestly, really, don't believe you.

FINALLY... <thumbs up> 100% :)

 
Its actually funny to think that as much as A17 is desired right now it will be detested in the months before A18. And as much as customers say that A17 is what is needed in order to fulfill their purchase, starting in about 6 months it will become the release of A18 that determines whether customers feel they got value for money paid and not A17. And finally, the criteria for a good review will no longer be the quality of A17 but whether A18 has been released or not....

"Months before A18" aren't you optimistic. At this point A17 has been Years since it has been more than a YEAR since A16. You understand how ridiculous it sounds when someone says a SINGLE update has taken more than 16 months to get done.

 
I love your..."logic." It's very...creative.

Too bad I can't say the same about your pointless post that's not really pointing at anything specific that I said there.

I guess you didn't get the hint of what I was trying to say there. Of course Alpha 17 will be bugged. After more than a year in development and testing internally, it will be as much bugged as the previous Alphas that were finished much sooner and maybe even with fewer testers if any at all. That doesn't change the fact that the longer we wait, the more people will lose interest no matter how much you try to sugarcoat it. If their main point of letting streamers record it is to sell more copies, they will probably achieve that, but in the same time, many old players will leave. Yeah, we already paid for the game, some of us for several copies, so I guess we are not that much important customers now...

...but there have been 186 updates...

Real shame that there were 186 updates and those lazy streamers didn't record a single minute of their gameplay in any of them!

PS:

This poll is a bad joke and Roland knows that. He got tired of making new polls for guessing possible month of release and this poll is the result of that, and yet here we are in this new "better poll" where we are supposed to guess only the number of release build and we already see that the first two options are already hopelessly gone. If you look deeper into it, it's not just two options, but 21 builds none of which was the Alpha 17 experimental playable by everyone. Wasn't this poll supposed to be better, easier to guess, less frustrating, or just better overall? Well it's just slower way of letting us know that we are still not going to get the Alpha 17 anytime soon. This is getting tragicomic. First time I voted, I thought I was too optimistic. If I had a chance to vote again, I wouldn't vote at all, because even 254+ feels too good to be true at this point.

Roland i am angry.
I played so many games now

And except SCUM and Empyrion there is no good game i can play more than 100 Hours.

So please contact all these developer teams "Raft, The Forest, Mist survival, No mans sky, ...." and kick some asses

Only 2 Survival games left i can try as gape filler "Green hell and Miscreated" :(

And all is your fault TFP.

You raised the threshold soo high no game can keep up ^^

Hearts of Iron 4 is a type of survival game you might say. Playing a historical modern mod of the WW2 game, playing as America, I kept Afghanistan, Iraq and decided that Iran was pissing me off...

So, I have over 10,000 M1A2 Abrams tanks in the area, 800 B-2 bombers and a WHOLE LOT of F22 Raptors to help persuade people in the area that America comes in peace. (Soon to be the 51'st state: Ameristan!)

 
Honestly, at this point I feel they should wait until new year for a release.

Now, I do have a logical reason for that.

1) Lots of new games coming out over the next few weeks that people are going hard on. Get past that so people will focus on A17 since it's looking mostly pretty good.

2) Holiday period. We've got thanksgiving and christmas coming up. I'd hate to see A17 get rushed out and have serious bugs that occur (because so many different hardware configs WILL reveal something) that simply can't get fixed because people are busy.

Would it suck to wait that long? Absolutely. But it'll be better for A17 as a whole... at least in my humble opinion. :) It'll get the attention it deserves and give the devs more time.

Keep Roland Roland Roland
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, 
Rawhide

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope 'em, throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waitin' at the end of my ride

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,

Can you play as a continent? :bounce:

I tried playing it once but I was too stupid for it. Maybe will try again

1) A17 Experimental is what we're talking about with all this release date stuff and the purpose of experimental is get some stress testing accomplished by the community. It isn't to compete with other games in the marketplace. Competing for market share is secondary to developing the game and if the development stage is ready for community input right when a bunch of other games are being released then so be it. In fact for experimental it might even be better with only 1000's playing instead of 10,000's at least at first so some distraction by other games is perfect.

2)The Pimps work through holidays all the time. Madmole has his turkey thigh in one hand while he redoes the textures and lighting again with his other hand. faatal can see what is in his stocking even as he creates the mod for 3 or 4 passengers on the jeep. Nobody is going to rush through experimental with a half-hearted attitude. Not when Santa sees all. In all seriousness the dev team loves working on this game. It isn't a chore and taking their time to do it right is what has everyone else so upset all the time. They won't change that.

 
Okay this is getting a bit sour.

A17 will be here eventually.

Here's some pictures of cute kittens to cheer you up in the meantime.

There are thousands of Mods for the game, so I wouldn't be too surprised. I heard that in the vanilla game, Brazil is a sleeping giant. In the right hands... World conquest! You probably need to attack and conquer the US before it turns into this by 1942:
