Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

[Qyzer 1]

Now I understand why panty's for peace does so well here.

 

What is the favorite clothing of clothing for the undead?

 

un·dies lol

 

...

 

What is the groan equivalent to ROFL and LOL? ROFG and GOL?

 

I would've preferred a block over a power attack.

 

Require some tactics in order to take a zombie down, especially with the improved AI.

 

I'd like to see it eventually as: Attack (short/quick button press), Power Attack (Long Press with variable power based on how long), and Block (other button press) and mappable to right or left mouse button as desired

 

They are changing horde night to a random day and random time after the first 3 days.

 

I would.... well kill is the wrong word... but I'd slay zombies for this! Though I'd like the first day to be random as well. I'm REALLY hoping this can be modded somehow without resorting to just putting in "fixed" random days in the xml and trying not to remember what I put.

Can you imagine day 1, taking 5 steps and getting hit by the horde, my guess is that they want the player to be somewhat situated before sh*t hits the fan.

Generally agreed. I have logged into new servers in the middle of horde night because I forgot to check the time. But yeah, I'd like the first one to be random, but probably not before your day 3 idea :-)

 

If it were up to me (and I hope to at least mod it to try it some time) I'd go with 3-10 days for the first one and then something like a random 2-14 days after that for each one thereafter.

[NL-Chaos 0]

4 day's ?

 

4 days left ?

 

They will probaly annouce it 7 days before the alpha 17 comes out, or well thats what i would do

[Erik Louden 6]

When I asked Roland about it a while ago he said he'd know the Monday before the streaming weekend would occur.

 

Since Monday was a holiday my guess if he doesn't annonce it today its not going to happen this weekend.

 

But Roland is a fickle beast so this may have changed.

So.. I'm off for my honeymoon tomorrow. Is there anything I can bring you guys from Europe?

 

you may take the summer weather we had and drop it as far south as youll go. enjoy!

[4sheetzngeegles 71]

I think they still expect players to die by day 7.

 

I think the only way to die now by day seven is if you thick yourself.

[Erik Louden 6]

Well now that the horde is random after day 3 and with the new pathing system this will change.

[4sheetzngeegles 71]

Thats why ive been training the passed 6 months. Had a feeling from posts how rough it may get. So i set my spawn and agressive. When I spawn in game now I am already holding the run button. Usually have 10 to 20 vultures after me on log on. Good times.

[Erik Louden 6]

Cool video, how'd you get 3d person?

 

I always felt that at night zeds should be able to outrun the player.

I gotta say, that is actually a great music video.

[DUST2DEATH 207]

Sounds like something a douchey guy would say when addressing an attractive woman on the other side of a bar. "Hey boys, look at her. I think we have a release candidate! *high fives all around*.

 

 

We're technically missing a step currently in that workflow.

 

RTM.

[4sheetzngeegles 71]

That was Neebs gaming, that made the video. They may be doing A17 stream also. For 3rd person its I think its P F5, to go into And reverse to reconnect.

 

F1 type dm enter P F5 3rd person F5 P reconnect

[open6l 8]

What system are you talking about, the horde night? :D

 

Pretty sure Gazz is referring to the old day 6 dog horde day (or was it day 5).. been so long can't remember anymore... If he isn't then uh... all hell's breaking loose.

[ozzysfang 71]

they have a camera man that does it like @4sheetzngeegles mentioned. sometimes he even plays like a DM and builds new poi's and spawns in weird stuff. like....a bathroom full of rabbits. It's made me think about DMing a server. But, time.

[mo'guts 0]

Really looking foward to this alpha, I think it's going to be amazing. Can't wait to see the new A.I in action, I am prone to building on stilts so I'm probably already doomed.

 

God speed pimps

[TylerDB 12]

I get the whole it done when its done but I'm excited enough to take a week off for it which is a guessing game.

 

Since you can't say when it sone can you say when it'll not be done, like next Monday?

Itll be released in Monday the ____, 2018 in the month of ____________. 😁

[Armstrrong 0]

Itll be released in Monday the ____, 2018 in the month of ____________.

 

It'll be released in Monday the ____, 20xx in the month of ____________.

 

Let's be positive.

[Xeen 11]

Just talked to the Huenink Brothers and they said it won't be this weekend starting Sept 7 for sure.

Joel said 0% chance it will be ready this week.

Rick said it would be "overly optimistic to get it out before the end of the month".

 

They are 100% fixing bugs and making sure all of the features work with each other. They know that the community wants it and they know that it has been longer than a year. They understand the frustration that is out there but they are not going to rush what they are doing.

 

Sadness, but good to know when its not going to be.

 

Hmm, now to decide if I take time off now or wait till A17 in October...

totally hurt and disappointed, more than a year without updates, they are already harming the community, I invited many people to play this great game, and I come with the lie since June! that we will already have A17 and now we will not have this month? It is very bad with everyone, as well as thousands of other people who also did the same, you have to step on the accelerator guys, because you miss the turtles.

 

Thanks for the sincerity, for more than I am as a liar, my love for this game does not change anything and I am still betting on you guys!

[NBornkilla 5]
