[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Its getting harder to read through this thread with the constant back and forth but just saying the same thing over and over. The amount of nonesense topics that get discussed is mind-boggling.

With the lastest topic - The game is the way it is. Some love building, some hate it. Some loved the older version of building, some love the new version. Why constantly keep defending a point that others disgree? Accept that others can disagree with your point and move on.

Where did I ever say that I would want to prohibit players from using POIs as bases?

 

I only said that building has become meaningless in the game because a lot of the existing POIs are more than sufficient both as a base and can be easily secured by removing a few blocks. If someone builds bases scratch then he does it because he likes to do it but there is no incentive in the game to do so.

 

XP is a large incentive to build. You can get a good few levels upgrading blocks

@faatal is there any plan to add a mod for the vehicles to take less damage? Like and armor/plating mod?

Clearly at the start of the apocalypse when someone was bitten, the virus made them first go to Savage Country and change into their outfit, then depending on what zombie had bitten them, over time they changed appearance to all look the same. Thats the reason why the dozen or so zombies have the same look and outfits. Its just common sense! Can we stop asking for more now. It would break my "immersion" of said reason. 

 

But seriously, I'm just happy the game is still getting great updates because with each alpha, it feels like a new game in a way. TFP have not just thought to put the game gold and start pushing DLC's on us, they continue to work on a game where most of us already own it and they won't make anymore money from us.

Be happy with what we get.

Can't see there been a Teleporter. It makes no sense for the game. Where did the tech come from? I think Rick just meant to say Helipad, but had heliport in his head and said teleport instead. Fubars face was more of a " what is he talking about" to me, not a "you let that slip". Think the radio he did not click on was just that, a radio.

It's fun to speculate though I guess. A cooler feature would be to pay the trader X amount and you get to call a heli to take you to somewhere you have designated on the map.

I would love to hear about any news regarding the Console version, because I like the new POIs and models and just wanted to get an update on what's being worked on currently. 

I know new console version is being developed in sync with PC Gold, so when Gold gets released for PC, the console should be released not long after (baring any major bugs that need fixed first).

Is the new console version coming out the same time as A21? Is that the reason it's taking so long? I heard they are running the development together. 

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Do we know yet if A21 will follow inline with the way A20 came out (DevStream -- Streamer weekend -- Experimental -- Stable).? If so, will the timeframe be the same? 3 months between 1st devstream and Experimental would be an overy long time to tack on to what seems a long wait already. 2 quick Devstreams at the start of a week, then the weekend for the streamers and released on the Monday would be great. Its a bit easier to avoid spoilers for a week. Much more fun (for me) going into the new update with little knowledge (besides the little twitter pics). Either way, looking forward to the update very much.
