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.

I don't remember selling myself when I bought this game. Wait...oh no...a friend gifted me this game. Oh my...what did they do for that copy of the game? Maybe I need to have a talk with them about this. Does this mean I have to turn a "trick" to make it even? *shudder*

 

Oh wait, that would just be buying another copy of the game, right? :bounce:

oh my skeleton, @Roland i will steal your job for the while because this post is even to hard for me and that's something new XD.

 

@Grandpa Minion so in your opinion TFP is bad because... they selling a game?? What the hell? 

I had hard day but i will try to explain you as best as i can why TFP is just honest with comunnity:

1. This game is still in early access (short ea). Games in ea are offten abbadoned by devs - honestly - i was thinking in the past about buying 7dtd or another game in early access. i bought 7dtd - second game is so dead that i even don't remeber its name

2.  We have now great graphic overhaul. Now it's looks like sequel. Another developer could just add bandits + story and finish a game and then make better graphic in sequel. Biding of issac is good example - a another sequel + few dlc = a lot of money right? 

3. 7dtd is just cheap game. This nothing bad- it's cheaper that most games but is good. expensive game don't mean it will be good game and BF is good example.

4. Devs are talking with community. I'm complaing about a lot of things and people here know about that. But i admire that they listening  the comunity and trying to implement suggestions - cut hornet, changes in balances, vehicles models, changes in perks. So they are doing a lot . And now watch codfather channel about cod vanguard for example- Cod Devs don't care about community so much ( except Treyarch - they are good ) . TFP care a lot community.

 

So Why do you think that pimps chacing for money? Because they are selling Coasters?

Additional things connected with game is nothing bad. Horizon forbbiden west get lego set, cod zombies get megablox. Re have a lot of figures, comics books etc.

Honestly i hope TFP will sell zombies figure someday - i would buy screamer for sure and spider zombie.

 

You didn't write any arguments about that,  just " they are always baaad because want money" .  So my advice : if you have controverial opinion about something try to write good arguments too. This not always work but this is more better option

Oh, I'm quite sure. It was going right through the block as if it wasn't even there. See second spit from this timestamp, as it goes right through the concrete.

 

 

besides the arrow slit gate, there is clear evidence in this of something that has irked me ever since the cops started. The fact that they can have their back to you and still vomit out the back of their heads and hit you is total BS. At least do a thing like in The Exorcist  and turn the head!

It's not only cops either. Just the other day a zombie fell with his back to me. I approached it as it got up and then the SoB hit me without turning around! Granted, it's not 180 degrees from the front, more like 120 or 140. It's still way too wide an arc.

small bug from me but the laser sight on the pipe rifle doesn't seem to appear on the pipe rifle and when you activate no laser sight is present here is another thing to you cna put a silencer on a double barrel shotgun this was previously fixed but seems to have made its way back into the game

Since it's a slow day, I decided to talk about one of my pet peeves: wrenching animation. It isn't smooth. At the end of the animation it will stay frozen in the rest position for maybe half a second. Maybe it's a smaller fraction than that, but it actually feels much longer than that to me. It just drives me nuts. I made a small video comparing that animation with a pickaxe's.

you see, if i made videos like this. 

It would be about 1000 videos, plus other games like Ark. i would look like Alex Jones in my ramblings 


Side note: WHEN did Hogs become hostile? I like the change but damn, a warring would be nice

First horde night with cops and arrow slits since the fix and I find that... arrow slits are no longer arrow slits. Cops see through them, and the spit goes right through them. You are better off with bars...

 

If you haven't submitted a bug report on your observation yet please do so.  See banner above on requested format.  That way it can get properly looked at.  Thanks!

I'm fairly sure I've @%$#ed reported it in past alphas. But since I have the video already, I'll do it.

I can say from personal experience that if you follow the steps in the guide and provide them with enough info (video is great) they will take note of it. It might not be fixed in the next update or anything but they will eventually get around to it.

I dunno, if you become a master at newsstand design people would probably watch. 😅

 

I recently subscribed to a Damascus steel metalsmith channel because I enjoyed the level of detail and skill demonstrated in each piece of work he made Despite not knowing heads or tails about steelscrafting lol...

Well there is a lot channels about making knifes etc so this is still very profitable income.  Top chefs need knifes, hunters, divers etc and these knifes are much better quality that "fabric made" knifes.

This will be the most sadness post in this forum history..... newsstands are... with every day.... less .... profitable 😭

Okay : in Poland taxes are pretty high so  this hard to make a profit. So more and more newsstands go bankcrupcy 😕

In most "west" countries people prefer big shops or online shopping so that's why newsstands have less and less customers....

In some asia countries like Philippines are pretty newsstands provide pretty stable income but this will change because : bottlegs are still popular in this countries but it will be harder to make them, less people smoke , paper is more and expensive. 

Yes this is terrible and only zombie apocalipse can safe newsstands.

Why? good question :

Newsstands ar usually near some diffrent building like fuel stations so : perfect place to make a base. This can be used as trade post or warehouse or bunker. 

Another +? People now ignoring them so... newsstands can be good shelter because most of people will never thought to check newsstand. 

Newsstand have bars etc so you are safe against zombies! 

In newsstands you can find a lot of interesting things : maps, food , drinks,  lighters even knifes!

So newsstands are so good!  I wish i have a newsstand. 

Damn i have even idea about zombie game connected with newsstands  mixed with THIEF, 7dtd and... plague tale XD @Laz Man do you want to hear about that?

I think laz was referring to the zombie cops spitting through arrow slits as it seems like a new thing in A20?

Oh, you're right. But, nope. I've already gotten worked up about it, and I believe it will only stress me out even more if I report it. I'll just stop using arrow slits. Besides, the new behavior is clearly spelled out in the release notes themselves:

Quote
  • Updated colliders and xml on all arrow slits to work like iron bars

This van that Yongha is working on is nice, but unless we are going to get low durability fixable and driveable sedans; and vans for that matter, then this addition is just more (at least temporarily) needless decorative fluff. 

 

The game could (and would, in my opinion) instantly benefit from being able to get a car early on, just with very little storage space and after fixing it.

 

Even at much later game stages I will go back to either the vanilla motorbike, or modded dirtbikes, and these are sometimes carried with me and friends in the chopper 😬 

 

Having tiered vehicles is nice in principle but it leads to absurdity as I've said, when you exist in a world with so many cars; none of which can be saved and restored (yet, anyway). It all seems rather wasteful.

 

But... however... kill a few zombies then (of course if you spec into intellect) your character is suddenly imbued with amazing mechanical knowledge and can somehow pull a 4x4 death machine out of his behind...

About last one : well that's how sometimes work - you are buying tomatoes and because of reasons you figure how change law XD

Well actually maps are pretty small so in theory if you find early a car you could just looting " specialistic" pois like ammo factory, book store etc. 

@Laz Man could you ask him  about making human skeleton prop please?? his car looks so good so i  think he could make so good skeleton prop 🙏 🙏 🥺 

It would be so good to find skeleton in newwstand or on the street
