    Nah, that's a different movie.  Also, the sequel to "House" was called "House II: The Second Story".  I think they are categorized as Comedy/Horror.

     

     

    I know lol, I was doing a bit.

    That's not the point I was making. 

     

    I'm trying to say that because it's a 1.0 release, that streamer weekend might not look like what we're used to. What Rick started saying before getting cut off by Lathan in that discussion backs that up.

     

    So I was speculating that maybe they'd have a 'launch' weekend for Stable rather than a weekend for experimental

    OR

    another idea I put out was that they might call it a Closed Beta instead and when Experimental releases it would be an Open Beta 

     

    I'm speculating because TFP haven't confirmed anything about a streamer weekend so far other than Rick saying "we'd also like to do a streamer weekend but it may be navigated through..." before Lathan stepped in

     

    Is it just me, or is Lathan often at these interviews in order to babysit Rick?

    Still not sharing info about the streamer weekend. I hope it's not too different than we're used to. 

     

    One thought I had, and I really hope they don't do this, is having it for Stable rather than Experimental due to 1.0. But I hope that's too silly an idea for them to do

     

    The roadmap did say there'd be an Experimental before the first Stable. Hopefully that won't change - I doubt it will.

    Roadhouse.

    cool; so the New Challenge System will premier as a replacement for the often dreaded opening tutorial!  Sounds like it might be a little more interactive and better integrated into gameplay with incentives for accomplishing optional tasks.  With future potential for enhancement of later gameplay.

     

     

    Where'd you find that info?

    Will the new weather system in "Storm's Brewing" mean we'll have a deeper (or at least more dangerous) weather survival system, much like we had a long time ago?

    Will we risk dying of cold or of a stroke in hot climates?

     

    Thanks

     

    Hell, the bigger question is - will it stop raining so damn often?

    I've done that but wouldn't say that I like it.  😁

     

    Besides, A21 drops aren't ever all that good, so not worth it.

     

    On super rare occasions they'll be good. But otherwise.. they just kinda suck most of the time.

     

    I will say though, they are super useful early game.

    The famous movie POIs - The Bates Motel, Evil Dead cabin, Nightmare on Elm Street house, etc, were significant solidifying factors for me to consider this my favorite game of all time.

     

    I've already mentioned George Romero movies and Return of the Living Dead earlier in this thread. 

    So I would absolutely love to see more of those. Exorcist house, Michael Myers house, etc. 

     

    More open area POIs like Housing Development, which I brought up in another thread here and has been confirmed that there will be more like that, so we can check that off.

     

    ALSO...I think we need a POI (or multiple POIs or an overall spawning system) where zombies crawl out of the ground! Somewhere here on the forums I made a post about this and someone replied with a video of a POI they made that has zombies crawling out of graves. It looked great! 

     

    What about the Last House on the Left?

    fataal or Laz may reply, but my guess is a place you can hotswap entire outfits without doing so piece by piece. This is more important in a game with more specialized outfit sets, and also if they're going to bring in cosmetic skins/mods as another point suggests.

    See, that was my thinking on it. Being able to swap outfits based on what you want to do (kind job-swapping in FF14 with a click or two would be awesome, since we are getting specialized outfits.

    Three zombies were removed during a previous alpha 1. the farmer 2. cheerleader 3. football player. Any chance of reskinning those for some new zombies? How about adding a Zombie Deer? Bigger Gore Piles please and some sort of bloodstains for poi creators.

     

    I don't believe they're bringing them back. Which is a shame, with all the farms in the game, and the fact the stadium is returning.

    Although limiting trader money has is uses, I've never been a fan of it in games.  If I want to sell something rather than hold onto it forever but the trader can't afford what it is worth, then it just sits there forever.

     

    Not necessarily. I'd often run into this in Fallout New Vegas, and would offset the issue of the trader not having enough caps by also buying things I did needed as well as selling what I had.

     

    Realistically, it would make sense for the traders to have a limited amount of Dukes (refreshing when the store stock changes every few days), as I doubt they'd just have an unlimited amount of currency on hand.

    What did the mod do?

     

    It was kind of like the Hunter mod, but allowed your weapon to deal double damage to zombies.

    Yeah, seems it was removed from the xml in A21. Here is the xml for it from A20:

    <item_modifier name="modGunMeleeBlessedMetal" installable_tags="weapon,tool" modifier_tags="specialDamage" blocked_tags="noMods" type="attachment">
    	<property name="Extends" value="modGeneralMaster"/>
    	<property name="UnlockedBy" value="modGunMeleeBlessedMetalSchematic"/>
    	<!--Do double damage to evil / undead-->
    	<effect_group tiered="false">
    		<requirement name="EntityTagCompare" target="other" tags="zombie"/>
    		<passive_effect name="EntityDamage" operation="perc_add" value="1"/>
    	</effect_group>
    </item_modifier>

    And the icon, in case you wanna add it back in.

    Ah, dang. Thanks for posting the code, though!

    Where did you hear this information? I haven't seen anything about whether or not cross play being available at launch.

     

    It's been mentioned by the team on Twitter and in these forums. I think they also said something about it during the A21 dev streams last year, too.

     

    There's also the fact that ONE OF THE DEVS made a post about it on this very page.

    This would be a great idea. Make those decaps more valuable.

     

    I'm surprised they don't already. Zombie dogs sound like freaking TIE Fighters when they die.

    I was thinking that too. But I wouldn't think of that as a preacher... then again Idk what a preacher would wear as a hat

     

    I plan on wearing the Preacher set to proselytize to the masses the Glory of the Stun Baton

    I can't believe TFP went ahead with this horrible design for the Intellect armor - especially in light of all the hate it garnered when it was first teased way back.  Please tell me this is an April Fools prank.......

     

    Pretty sure it's not an April Fool's prank, sadly.

    Easy fix for that.

    Add a buff to the LCB to increase lock picking difficulty by the same *X as the block bonus.  There.  Balance returned.

     

     

    Or add a buff to the claim block that makes doors and containers within it are unpickable.

    I don't mind waiting and seeing but yes, this seems like a loss of customization in the short term. Also, having a mod which increases your stats but is just... an unlabelled non-existent object seems very odd and It would be odd no matter what the item's function is. I'm hoping it's as @Old Crow said, that "generic blue square" is just a placeholder and that they'll at least get a name and a thumbnail even if they don't appear on character models; releasing it in A22 as-is would be a really weird decision IMO.

     

    I don't see why it wouldn't be. It'd have to be a huge act of supreme laziness not to update a placeholder like that.

    Yeah, I agree.

     

    The thing that weirdly bothers me though, what even is a "strength mod"? Is it just going to be a unexplained mod that boosts strength for no reason? I think it made at least a little bit more sense to have like, certain pieces of clothing/accessories give certain bonuses, like how shades gave perception, not just a item for the sake of a stat boost without any kind of reasoning. It'd feel weird to me if instead of shades, we had more of these mods which are literally just "perception mod" or something. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

     

    I imagine it's just a placeholder for now, and will have an actual name and icon by the time A22 is ready.
