pavukas Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Good time everyone. The game 7 days to die gives us a lot of positive emotions and creates a great adventure atmosphere. But due to the aggressive actions of Russia and the fact that the letter Z was chosen for the symbol of the crimes they committed, I would like to contact the development team with a request to remove this symbol from the backpacks that fall out of the zombies.

Boidster Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Quote Unwanted symbolism Good time everyone.

Translating from Russian before this gets moderated away. Never mind! Good on you, Roland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Blackbear Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I don't see the need. Whatever Russian is doing with the letter Z doesn't mean we need to abandon or change anything else that uses it. You're injecting real world events into everyone's game by doing so and I for one don't approve. It's a letter, one you can't spell zombie without. It's not a useful change, since it would not stop a single Russian from doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Thanks for writing in with this information. If it was a unique symbol that both the Russian aggressors and we happened to both be using I have no doubt the developers would be willing to make changes. However, the letter “Z” is a common symbol from the alphabet with many possible uses and meanings and cutting out letters of the alphabet that various terrorist groups around the globe may decide to use at one time or another is probably too much to expect. The z stands for “zombie” and this is a zombie game. I will make sure the developers learn of your request but I just want to temper your expectations a bit.

Darthjake Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 What Roland said, also TFP was using the letter Z looooong before Putin started his latest round of making Russia look like an ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theFlu Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Hmm... are we getting to an era of the PC version... "Z-letter"? "Y++"? A-to-Y++ ... Geey++, that might be annoying. At least it might resolve the sillyness between "normalising" and "normaliy++ing" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crater Creator Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Y'know several years/Alphas ago, when I played coop with a group, I constructed a big, late game horde base. The foundation was a large square of concrete, on which I put towers in the NE and SW corners. I made a bridge connecting these towers along the diagonal, and additional platforms extending to the W and E, respectively. I planned to paint all the raised blocks red. The result was a base I nicknamed "Zed square." I even set up a sign for it. It was just wordplay. Zed as slang for zombie, but it also worked out that it rhymed with Red Square, a famous location. Again, I stress this was years ago. We mustn't discuss politics on this forum (friendly reminder). So suffice it to say I was saddened this year when Z took on an association it didn't have before. Now my "Zed square" base design would inevitably look like a political statement if anyone saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pApA^LeGBa Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 By actually removing the letter Z from anywhere because they use it, you give them power. What if the next letter they use is A? And the next one D? What do we do if we run out of letters to use as abbreviations? You get the point, i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Okay, topic is closed. The devs have been made aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
