To make some additional money TFP could add: -a Tier 4 and 5 City Center package. -an extended quest line with an actual human settlement! (Maybe 10-20 people) (Once bandits are ready!) -A skins and cloths package (very cheap maybe $0.99) The list could be endless!

About farming: A simple reality added would solve anyone's concerns that once a farm is established, food survival is over. Add food spoilage! OR on blood moon night ALL FOOD SPOILS (except canned goods) to add another scary element to BM nights!

I like how the lightning flashes then a bit latter you hear the thunder! Its the small things and the big things.

My spin on it was there were two apocalypses. After the first one(a nuclear war), things started to rebuild, then the zombie apocalypse hit. That would explain primitive things in sealed containers.

Its the difference between the walking dead and 28 days later if you add run or sprint on daylight. Some streamer did that... and he died.

Well, if you think A20 is better than A16 AND A11 (The two best alphas IMO) then we are all in for a sweet treat! I will say the cities with their added danger (and they look great) are what has me sold on it so far. A close second will be making a beautiful and powerful fortress. I want to see the masters build their forts on Youtube as well.

If streamer weekend makes TFP a sack of money from new sales, then its well worth it.

Maybe if a player uses fertilizer, the chance for generating seeds is greatly increased? Have it based on a person's farming skill because too much fertilizer can kill some plants.

7D2D survival (all survival really) = "Energy" management! -You melee zombies (using food energy to power your attacks) -Or shoot them (using chemical energy of the gunpowder) -You need to gather food by hunting or buying from vendor/trader (Monetary energy) So perks are there to leverage the energy you have: -Spec'ing into combat perks, uses less energy to melee/shoot. -Spec'ing into the physical energy optimizer perks, increases overall energy conservation. What remains is the player and how they manage their energy (Wisdom) and how they go about optimizing said energy (Understanding) ... Yes... I want to play and I think I'm bored. You never know what I will do when I get bored.

I hope that the Structural Engineer Zombie era, has ended.

Well TFP have room to tweak it for sure. Some people made suggestions some pages back. I believe it was to add the size of the harvest or to lower the chance of losing a seed. Balancing that to a very low decline in crops (thereby making a non-speced player find value in looted seeds) might be the ideal spot.

Actually the farming changes makes the support player in MP playthroughs important. For SP, it appears that a couple points in farming might be necessary for long running games.

JaWoodle got a flying drone on day one! Its not only nice, its cute in several ways. I don't plan spoiling it for anyone, but if you have JaWoodle's luck, its a thing!

There are several ways TFP could do bandits in my thinking and each one would require a smarter AI. 1) Bandits are just zombies with guns, very little changes needed. 2) Bandits have a "Shoot, Scoot, or Hide" algorithm based on damage done and received. 3) Bandits have the above 2 plus an "Elite squad" AI that tries to pin the player down with suppressing fire and flank the player for some kill shots.

My few hours of viewing some streamers have highlighted how fun the cities now are! In the city, the first 24 hours you can find dogs and police. Its deadly and you cant just run anywhere without some risk. Outside the city is safer but its all risk/reward so cities are the thing IMO. Will max out cities on my second play though. Perfect game IMO.

Mods are perfect for people wanting a new or different experience. TFP knew right off that people are different and like different things. So they made mod'ing a "relatively simple" endeavor. Some Mod's are huge efforts however. The vanilla game looks GREAT to me! I will most likely play for a few hundred hours before I look to the mods (the good ones will be ready).

Compared to strength for an extreme example, it is.

I bet that will change. Int is weak with little reason to stay in it for more than a few days Mid-Late game.

If you search on youtube: 7D2D A20 stream, there are a lot of streaming now. You'll see the red boxes "Live Now"

OMG the release notes are HUGE! So many good surprises so far (only half way through): Biggest game changer? Looted food can now keep you alive much better! Almost every item is a treat to me! I wasn't a fan of the Twitch integration, but I now see the fun watching (and getting involved) could be!

The next questions are obvious: What pregen map has the most city space? What pregen map has the most tier 4-5 POI's? What pregen map is your favorite? Why?

"When playing a game of cat and mouse...Make sure you're the cat." In other words stop crying like babies (unless you really are a baby, then WOW you're amazing!). Your complaints might have worked with your mom, but people who have their own interests in focus will do what's best for them. TFP want a good product out, because of the obvious if there is even one big error will be "Oh my god after a year it still has bugs! Oh my god!" Nobody wants that, except the babies.

Oh yes! I will first learn from the jedi masters then go hulk mania on them there zombays! (Someone tell me the flaming, spiked, baseball bat is still a thing!) The only question that still remains is: 1) Big fort? 2) Big Huge fort? 3) Big Huge Fortress of doom? Answer is: "Always pick the answer with the most words!" (Giving you more time to slowly move toward the exit!)

So many great players that stream 7D2D! So who to watch??? Should I be a loyal follower to a well deserved and talented streamer as he/she fights desperately to survive the tide of darkness? Or be a Sultan with many "wives" hopping from channel to channel looking for the one who pleases me the most? Can I do both?

When I saw the rich are in AIRSHIPS while the rest of us are down below... Sold! Also they have a voice actor narrate the book, so I had to buy the first book AT LEAST to see what's up!
