During the time 7d2d has been in alpha i have personally known players, modders who have past away... Odds are alot of people have known someone who playd this game over the last 10 years who isn't with us now. I think your question is very acceptable and brings up another question how much longer is this going delay the game going gold? Odds say we all well know more people who pass before this game goes gold.

Looks like a frined of mine is having the same issue over on North American East.. Darksim — 08/10/2023 9:29 PM "WTF's up with all these Chinese servers???" Its not hard to see.. go to any region in the server list chinese servers everywhere

Hello, i was wanting to share some information about a21 and for the life of me do not understand why so many Chinese servers show up in my region list. Is there ANYONE out there who knows why this is? I play on North America West and all i ever see is chinese servers to play on when i try to join.

I dont see how you claim it ruins it for everyone else? That definately doesn't include me or the 100+ people i personally know who was planning on joining to help identify some issues. If anything turning pvp off gave players a reason not to join now. However- I am glad that server is a 32 man server for sure because once you reach 25+ players that is when your going start seeing the zombie freeze, zombie falling in ground and such. This is not a topic to debate PVP, let's keep it out of here, please.

hello, just because you where killed at the trader doesn't mean you was camped. There is only a limited amount of traders on a map shared by everyone else... im assuming you went there to do a quest (the same as who ever killed you went there for) First rule of any pvp allowed server is check your back before entering the trader.. gl

A22 i recommend that early release be giving NOT JUST TO STREAMERS but to SERVER MANAGERS and HIGH POPULATION servers. This really does need to go in effect because here we are again...... all the server owners and server managers for the multiplayer scene scrambling on release day to get our servers ready to open. SERVER MANAGERS WHO SHOULD BE GIVEN PRE RELEASE TO GET THINGS READY SERVER TOOLS CSMM CPM BOTMAN RAT

I really don't believe June 9th is even on the table since diablo 4 is being released on the 6th. From a business stand point wouldnt make much sense to compete against it- especially since alot streamers are going be doing diablo reviews. I agree with you on the 16th for streamer weekend followed by the 19th for release. If what faatal said a bit earlier about them being down to the last of the bug list than yeah my money is on that middle of June for release.

That is what pvp has been. No way in the world i would have stuck around 20000+ hours if all i did was play pve only. The pve side of it is to easy and gets boring way to fast with no end game or story line to continue on. Pvp players have to worry about everything the pve side has plus the extra threat of others players raiding and killing them. So yes i could definately see the average pve player wanting bandits to give that xtra unknown element.

7000 in game and 3000 forums hours get you there😀

Thats a definate.. one of the biggest mistakes i believe the pimps ever made was taking calipers out of the game. Back than calipers forced players to travel around the map to search for them. The way it is now players can pretty much stay put in any region to get everything they need. Calipers where great for pvp because players traveled the map alot more creating more chances for pvp.

6700+ is a good enough amount to have seen the good and bad of this game. Going into the future what would you like to see? alot of people talk about bandits and such but from your experience what is the game lacking?

Hello, over the years and thousands of hours i have playd this game.. i have personally seen alot of changes good and bad throughout the alphas. Most of which is nearly impossible to explain to new players "nublets" who are joining it for the first time or especially for those who can't understand "why has this game been in alpha so long?" "why this or that?" I'm starting this post in hopes of players who have actually playd the game for extended time can post meaningfull ideas of how they would like to see this game moving forward instead of the same continous rhetoric. Please feel free if you have playd this game for 10000+ to leave a meaningfull comment on how you would like to see 7d2d progress in the future. For me its all about pvp.. i would like to see the game give more love to pvp players when fixn bugs and exploits- also the optimization to allow bigger servers again. thanks

The newest version of the optimizer is running fantastic! I recommend holding off untill at least a21 before you release it to the public. With your optimizer and what the pimps have tweaked im hoping sometime a21 to have a 100 man server on a 10-12k map. Honestly, i never thought it would be possible that anyone would ever be able to figure out how to optimize multicore for this game but you sure have done it. The great thing is that your mod doesn't effect EAC so servers can still leave that on. I also think once the public gets their hands on it they are going feel the same way.. GREAT JOB!! CHEERS

A20 almost killed the multiplayer public servers due to horrible optimization it brought - no need to worry about A21 though the good news is a coder has made an optimaztion mod to help multiplayer servers out in every way. Player count is the #1 thing to have on a public server and without the optimaztion mod "hardly any players left on the open public servers" is a phrase i have heard way to often from people in a20.

Thank you so much for working on the optimizer... A20 nearly killed multiplayer servers due to the lack of optimazations: while making NAIWAZI alot of money by servers paying for his NON EAC FRIENDLY OPTIMIZER. Your optimizer is EAC friendly and without it there would have been no way our server could have achieved 50+ players on with a respectable fps and cpu usage. I sure hope people and the pimps give you the credit that you deserve.

ill message his invite link to you

He announced in his discord apr 14th "next project you will see is the stand alone optimizer" so w/e he was working on before that is completed- he can focus mainly on the optimizer now. I'm assuming it wouldnt be long but dont know- Please keep in mind this forum post i started he probably doesn't even know it exists- i initially started the post to bring good news for players going into a21, His discord is public anyone can join it.

He tells me daily how it works but im not a coder or modder so everything he says goes in one ear - out the other.. surprised he doesn't get frustrated telling me about it- simply because i dont understand anything he is doing but what i can tell you is i have been an admin in this game a very long time over the years- w/e he is doing its increasing server FPS, lowering cpu usage, less lag, better overall player experiences for everyone who plays. Using the optimizer the games runs super better than without it. Also with the optimizer we can achieve high player count on the server with EAC on. You probably know as well as i do in a20 multiplayer servers took a big hit for population capability, so for big servers like ours its a blessing for sure.

your going love it once you get your hands on it, right now we have 47 players on cpu is only using 16.8%

here is an example of the optimizer working today apr 15th today our server with 42 players on, 57 zombies and 50 animals the server fps is 42.5- our server is lucky the coder allows us to use it during its creation. 100% works and with it being updated all the time its only going get better going in a21

hello, i can assure you the mod does exist. It also will work on SP since it makes the game run on multiple cores doesnt matter if your on single player or multiplayer. Also im currently running the mod on [NAPVP] NORTH AMERICA PVP server if you want to see it in action just join. The mod has allowed us to have 100+ max zombies with over 50+ player online with high fps and no issues. As i said earlier the mod is still being worked on by the coder once its done he has told me he plans to release it to public AND YES ITS EAC COMPATIBLE people wont have t o turn eac off for it to work.

Thank you pimps! its really nice to know MY BLESSING was accetpted! god bless!
