MechanicalLens Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Also, to conclude this "bloated ammo" topic (I'm not trying to perpetuate here, but I may have the answer), I have been seeing content creators being offered quest rewards from the trader consisting of hundreds of each type of ammo (200 9mm, 120 shotgun shells, etc.); this is already a thing in A18 and with the removal of armor, tools, and weapons from T1 quests in A19, these ammo rewards will be quite a bit more common. Due to this unbalance (which is already known with the traders and will most likely be fixed in A20 or something), this is where the content creators are probably getting a bulk of their ammo, or at least some of them. So if you want to, you can just ignore these ammo rewards. Okay, discussion over now. 2 minutes ago, Roland said: I think it’s pretty random. I’ve gotten a pistol and an AK as my first. Oh...and a stun baton too but.....you know.... Honestly I tend to sell shotguns and shells early game as a couple blundies on the belt are more than adequate and ammo is much easier to craft. Yes there is lots of shotgun ammo to be found but TFP plans to nerf that soon. Then it seems to be one of those, "If you get it early on, good for you, but if you don't, you'll be fine and you won't be skipping a little bit of progression" sorts of things, which is fine imo. I thought it was just double barrel shotguns. Why sell the early game shotguns when you can scrap them for parts? Or do people not use shotgun turrets anymore, idk. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is an issue and is fixed by Monday or in a future patch though, then I personally wouldn't be surprised, since finding a double barrel on day 1 replaces all blunderbusses except maybe a T5 or T6 blunderbuss. I hope you are right and we see a more random chance between: 9mm Pistol, 7.62 Hunting rifle and Double barrel shotgun. So all ammo types can have a chance at being useful.

Also, disappearing spears are still a thing in build A19 b152; don't know if this has been patched or not after that, but here you go. 😛 Timestamp included.

Laz Man Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 We are less then 24 hours away from having A19 released to public! So what are all of you going to do first when you get your hands on it? Hopefully not some snowdog ritual... 🤣 I think I am going to gen an 8k RWG map for our rented server and manually spawn in a few custom prefabs for our groups first world. I think I can't resist and will probably do a perception / Intelligence build again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiiMaRcLeoN Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Start a new RWG map and then making a fortitude build with the new changes to the perk tree + candy. Since all POIs should be avaible in RWG now I will try to explore each one of them. And stare in awe of the new lightning of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a crime to be excited for something on a Monday! 🤣 In all seriousness though, I've cancelled all appointments and I've marked each day on my calendar as "7D2D hype train" for the next 6 months. In all real seriousness though, I'm planning on a Strength world; clubs and shotguns. "Shameless self plug" (is advertising threads made by yourself on the 7D2D forums allowed if it's on topic?; if not, sorry!), but I've made this thread yesterday where we can all congregate and discuss A19 without clogging up the dev diary. EDIT: It's located here: P.S. I'll start off in a creative test world testing things just as the bedrock height in A19, what the contents of treasures are early game, if the infinite water trick still works, what RNG worlds look like on the previewer, etc., and then I'll start my first survival world. I'm calling it "Rebirth", and after that world, I'll start another which will be the "second season" of IceFire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never needed to do that in past alpha updates occassionally, somethings have remained behind and caused glitches. it is just the safest way to prevent that. sinc alpha 9, I have had it glitch 3 times going from a new alpha. usually from old maps left behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen a few streamers say it should have been released for streamers on like Wed and then Friday for everyone else so people could play over the weekend When the streamers get it has zero bearing on when we get it. We will not get it right before a weekend. TFP wants all staff on duty for bug fixes etc when the release happens. It will not happen before a weekend, period.
