Dusting off this old account bc I'm honestly sad to say I think A21 may be what kills 7 Days for me. Been playing for years, and will give the new version a chance but it really sounds like the nail in the coffin.
I will say, new POIs and furnishings sounds really cool, as do the spear improvements and the water improvements. I'm not a fan of the implication that we won't be able to harvest water from streams and etc anymore but that I think could be adapted to. Most of the other confirmed stuff I'm neutral toward.
What's fully killed my hype for the future of this game is the Learn By Reading system. Honestly, I think it's the biggest mistake TFP have made in this game so far. Locking all crafting recipes and upgrades behind RNG is going to make the game more tedious and boring, which isn't what it needs. We need more stuff to do to keep the game engaging and fun into the long hours of play, not an extended and randomized grind. The game had a grind already of course, but one that felt like it mattered.
Welp. I'm sure no one is interested in my two cents (especially based on the handful of pages of this thread I've read), but I wanted to voice them anyway because this is very disappointing. This was a favorite game of mine to play with loved ones, and it sounds like we're at the end of the line. (Unless modders bring us back an old system or make a better one.)
I probably won't be logging back in here again, as I'm not looking to debate. I wish TFP well in their future projects, and hope this won't be as bad as it sounds.
