if the mod was made public already i wouldn't hesitate to mention the maker but most multiplayer server owners 100% know who he is..... when he releases it for everyone to have, i sure hope the pimps give this coder the credit he deserves. But yeah it exists right now.

no need to worry his mod is going public soon everyone that doesnt know will know soon enough.

thanks for the info, but i like i said" ive been around for years" i know what the game can and can't do probably better than most: My post was to bring good news to those that do play multiplayer and to give my blessing for a21 now.

A20 almost ruined the multiplayer scene by causing high populations servers not to be able to run high populations on....... but i have great news now for everyone now! A coder has optimized the game to use multiple cores which allows servers now to have a player count way more than ever before. Let me tell you people ive been an admin for 7d2d over 22000 hours in game and been around alot of years supporting this game but never have i ever seen a mod more important that what this coder has done. I sure hope some day the pimps recognize this guy and give him the credit he needs. Anyone who has been around knows who im talking about but with all that being said, i give my consent for a21 to be released because now i know high population mutlitplayer well be possible with the works and effort this coder has done. The current seed a20 our server is on maxed at 52 players and could have easily had alot more.

lol i had to laugh at this one for sure. "full release kind of person" doesn't wait 20000+hours for a game to complete. If you really want to know how i feel about it im an old man and i don't have time to wait another x many years odds are ill be dead by than.

Don't kid yourself. A21 may be out by next year but the game being finished by next year is laughable

Thats the thing your not getting. You can change your response by merely just stating "his mod is the only fix known to fix some issues" since you already stated "Regardless, the idea that anyone's current mod for Alpha 20 bugs represents a permanent fix since TFP isn't planning on doing anything themselves is ridiculous. " <--Thats the whole point! its been 7years and they still havent fixed it. What is the community supposed to do wait another 7 years? Ya thats why tfp have lost trust by so many in the community.

Did you not read what he was saying? #zipcore "I would be more interested if TFP would implement the fixes of my mods which solve major issues in this game" Most anybody who has seen his fixs knows exactly how huge they are- especially those veteran players like myself who been around X amount of years. I have witnessed many other coders and modders try to fix what he has been able to do but failed. The way this guy can fix bugs TFP would be foolish to not listen to what he has to say.

As an admin of 7d2d for many years i would like to say without the coders and modders who have single handed kept this game a float... 7d2d would have folded years ago! Now here we are today and its come to the point modders and coders can't even fix the current issues destroying the game. This is a huge factor why many servers have shut down and for those servers that are left.. they are hanging on by a string.

Today We bring you part 2 of the Raid Series, in about 40 min we will be having Part 2 of the Raid on MolePerson Please join us at http://www.twitch.tv/gnsc4 to watch the Raid.

I personally couldn't be more happier! Finally! after 20000+ hours in this game they are finally adding PVP content! OMG this has the potential to be the best alpha yet. I could go in to many reasons why i feel like that but no need to. I will tell you i can understand why pve players would get upset about the changes coming but for who ever plays PVP this is not just good news its great news!

PVP is alive and active: Feel free to watch this raid video from the last 48 hours. [GNS] C4 — Yesterday at 12:06 PM https://youtu.be/F93LVYMb4EE

I have to disagree with you on this one. Anyone who plays multiplayer knows doing Quests is mandatory to stay competitive. The party share and xp players get from doing quests is OP and gives a huge advantage compared to those who "completely voluntary choose not to do them." Power level by party is a main stay in the multiplayer game and definately needs to be addressed. Example a party of 5 sharing quests, clearing quests, turning in quests for xp and rewards will advance 10x faster or more than someone not doing quest. It really does create a huge advantage for those in a party vs those who are solo.

dont kid yourself. Guaranteed those 35000 players from 5 months ago most of them where multiserver players! I mean anyone with common sense would tell you- losing half of your population base is not good. "maybe we should look into why?"

You are definately right about that. A19 and prior we could get 40+ players on a server- Now in a20 we are lucky to get 25 on without the server crashing. Has anyone figured out why this is? I personally think its just another way of them wanting to kill multiplayer.

grats!

Its no secret alloc mod has issues ... big time issues. When a20 came out that was the first thing i noticed was bugs coming from alloc mod. I personally have wondered why alloc hasn't updated his mod? I believe it has alot to do with alot of the network problems people are having on servers. You guys keep talking about TFP hiring someone for netcode imo they should start with asking alloc to fixed his mod that in itself would solve alot of issues.

like a friend said to me the other day norush — 04/26/2022 Presenting.. the north american server list

I call that a "lie" in fact their whole company i is based off a "pimp" image. A matter of fact anytime someone buys 7d2d you might as well say they are turning a trick for the pimps. No where in time has a pimp not chased money a pimp is 100% about getting money one way or another. Keep telling the storys and do what you do but i well say thank your for wishing me best of luck.

The pimps have had many years. Had they spent just a little effort on pvp it would be a very viable game option today. Overall, they blew the pvp opportunity this game had to offer and honestly dont think anything they can do now will change that. They have left to bad of a bitter taste in the mouths of the pvp community over the years by putting everything about pvp on the back burner, not addressing nor understanding the opportunity they had for this game on the pvp side. Later this year a new game will come out called The Day Before. w/e pvp players are left i'm sure will be playing that instead when it releases. Maybe than the pimps will realize what opportunities they had and wasted by not focusing on pvp just a little bit more. "They have not just failed the pvp multiplayer aspect of the game i could also make and argument they should just remove it all together and drop their act about pvp since they don't support anyway."

Today is not the same as X years ago. When 7d2d came out it was a unique concept with many great ideas. I think it is fair to say in modern times you can't compare those ideas from the past to what it is today since it has been many years from the start of 7d2d. Things change and my recommendation would be for them to get up to speed on the new trends that players are looking for.

Hey man thanks for your explanation on this and thanks for providing a different perspective obout AIs. Just curious though- what you would rather see and play on in 7d2d: a server full of AIs or a server full of real people? I know what my answer is REAL PEOPLE!

i would say you got that backwards... Bandits are nothing like real life PvP players. A bandit will never have the ability to challenge the offense and defense that it takes to raid and defend a base. Competition in players is something a bandit would never supply. Thinking about the strategy how to attack a base and thinking about the strategy how to defend it is a factor bandits would never have. Basically a bandit would just be another zombie to kill on pvp servers.

Unfortunately, im not a young man like you i don't have another 5+ years to wait for final release. However my recommendation was never about time although you decided to make it about time. My recommendation was to stop adding new stuff and focus on what is already here but once again you only seem to hear what you want to while disreguarding the obvious.

ya ya ya, i totally understand you want to be completely comfortable in your own little world not having to worry about the big bad pvp player paying you a visit and collecting taxs. The thing i would like to remind you of is that for years new content keeps getting added which brings more bugs and issues. You want bandits when "real life bandits" already exists and this is what gets frustrating. Look no further than the drone. They added that and how many issues has that caused? My recommendation once again would be to stop focusing on adding stuff untill everything that is already here is fixed.
