I think you mean a 13+ year timeframe for development. That’s is a bit ridiculous. But the fact they keep updating and are still committed to the finished product instead of calling it quits isn’t ridiculous. It’s great! I’m very appreciative they never abandoned it.
4.0 is going to have to have every part of every 3.x so they’ll either have to upload every 3.x change to 4.0 and deal with issues or they can all work from 4.0 adding features to it making sure there are no conflicts and then create a 3.x build by removing the parts that aren’t ready. In the...
Add a few safe bug fixes (for example fixes to a specific POI are relatively safe for side effects) and optics would be much less severe.
I agree with you if it was something they did on a regular basis or if it was just random new skins. But holiday-themed skins are somewhat expected—especially for Halloween and Christmas. People requested Halloween and Christmas themed skins and props years ago during those seasons way before...
Another limit may be at 32768 aka 2^15 if they used signed short integer for the number or use 1 bit as a flag for something.
Proof of this is Bloodmoons. They aren't afraid of ending something that doesn't sell.
If? They could. Proof is in the hotfixes they pushed two days later. They didn't need to wait until 3.5 to push those simple code alterations. They just pushed them. Its all just code. It wouldn't be an empty patch-- it would be costumes. That's something. People wouldn't update? So what? It...
At the risk of "falling for it again" I will just point out that pushing costume DLCs are not dependent upon any one particular mix of other update content. They could've pushed out the costumes all by themselves as their own update and say "Happy Halloween". They didn't need 3.4 stable to do...
They did not need to release 3.4 stable to get their DLC/Skins out in time. They easily could have released the skins all by themselves as a dedicated Halloween skins update. You are assuming the only way to get the skins out was to pair it with 3.4 stable and that just isn't true. You're right...
That is what you said in your opening monologue but then as the thread went on you progressed to quite a bit of doom and gloom. You said this: And then followed it up with two long AI posts as proof that the game was heading into oblivion. That's not to say you didn't post it all out of love...
I agree that nothing about that sounds like FUN to me. 😉
To get every possible sale even 2 months is not too long, stores are showing that (you yourself brought that as an example). If we assume that online-skin sales function differently though (and I suspect as much) then the basic advertising rules you reference that "everyone knows" may very well...
Sure. That is why I call it a hint and not proof. If your theory were more than that we already would have a christmas skin out by now.
Look at this post: https://community.thefunpimps.com/threads/v3-4-0-exp.49284/page-3#post-654045 . This guy is a developer from TFP, he has a yellow sign "Fun Pimps Staff" below his icon. 99% of people replying to you will just be normal players like yourself. TFP is not operating any server at...
Yes. We all are speculating, especially when we apply motives to TFP. Well, they seem to have done this "test" or whatever it was with 3.3 as well (at a minimum), there were serious bugs they warned about left in stable as well (if I remember correctly). Maybe it is not even a test, but...
I am sure Lax and bdubyah will do everything in their power to fulfill your request :LOL:
Making a POI for free is good. Be advised that paid mods are not allowed under the modding policy.
I don’t disagree that themes more in line with the game would be great. I’m betting, though, that if they did that there would be a back lash that those skins should have been included in the base game to begin with. At least with the current crop of skins nobody thinks they should have been...
What’s the criteria? If bandits are out and the main team is underway with the 5.0 story update will you be satisfied? What if by next year we are on version 4.3 but the number of DLC skins has also doubled. Will that invalidate the work on bandits? What if you don’t like bandits and toggle...
The basis for my assumption is the fact that the studio is still going strong 13 years in and has been acquired by a larger company who most certainly did their due diligence into the financials. People who are angry about the direction of development like to cope by fantasizing that the...
First, why assume they have limited resources to the point that hiring a team to do dlc skins hurts bug fixing? If they have it budgeted then there’s no harm. Secondly, if it brings in income then how is it a waste? Philosophically, I’m against the practice and I have no interest in skins...
Where did I defend the practice? All I did was explain the reality of why DLC skins don’t come at the expense of bug fixes. I agree that DLCs ought to wait until the base game is complete. But that doesn’t mean I can’t point out the huge logical flaw that people continue to make. TFP has...
Games? I am speaking about a lifeline for the developer, not a game. I suspect some the publisher buyouts of developers (except the slew of buyouts by microsoft a few years ago) happened because the developer needed money, though that is pure speculation. What the majority of players want and...
First, are you sure the game needs a new release for a skin DLC at all? The advertising on the front page could be downloaded fresh from a server when a game starts. But since we are speculating, I agree it is more likey that it is baked into the executable and needs a patch. If the latter is...
There is no reason to rush the transit to stable just for a DLC. If TFP were on the brink of bancrupty that could be a reason, but with BI owning them a week later does not matter. I find it more likely that console players not being able to participate in experimental is the reason they keep...
Please read the pinned post on how to report an issue. We will need links to the logs you post on Pastebin. Note the time references so we can see those time stamps in the log as well.
Maybe the high price is a reaction to steam sales and the custom of many players to buy anything only when it is reduced, or adapting to the price schemes typical on console !? Anyway, isn't it nice that people have something to complain about while they wait for the next free content patch...
If I recall correctly, achievements were initially added by TellTale Games for their version of the client on the consoles. Shortly afterwards a similar set was added on Steam. This is pretty common for a lot of similarly limited co-op games. The difference with 7 Days is that the limit is not...
Certainly in some darker sub-genres of zombie apocalypse fiction, separating Rekt from his skin and wearing it wouldn't be out of the question. :devilish:
That's a fine topic for discussion, but not here in the Support section. Please head over to Pimp Dreams if you have ideas for the game, or General Discussion for... general discussion about the game. :) Note also that most users you talk to here are fans, not 7DtD developers. I'll lock this...
Seriously guys... I'm worried that the hand slap mark on my forehead is becoming permanent. I promise you that the guys they have assigned to making DLC skins are not the guys they would EVER assign to fixing bugs. The idea that bugs aren't getting fixed because DLC skins are being worked on is...
I pulled it down on Steam about ten minutes ago. You may need to update your device by restarting the store, or the device depending on what platform you are on.
Noting that this is because terrain blocks are diamonds, and not cubes, so it is easy to make the 45 degree angle accidentally. @Tarakis Have to pay attention to the compass direction as Qnut stated.
It is especially ironic when he states that seemingly as an accusation while supporting AI poweruser no. 1. :p
I doubt this is possible with 7D2D and doubt this happens in all of game development Fataal told us that they do all their work on the upcoming major version and then backport some of the easy or important ones to current minor version. So I don't see how your example would occur here. What...
Uhhhh, that behaviour was added on purpose to make zombies look dumb and also to add some randomness to horde base zombie loops
In case you missed it... The User Research team would like to remind everyone that Playtest Squad signups are open! They've seen an encouraging response so far, but they're still looking to increase the panel size for playtests.
Maybe I should add: While I don't think the developers will suddenly change this game completely to look like a different game, they seem to listen to feature requests. So @buryy1 maybe your best option would be to answer this question: What would be the feature in PZ you miss the most in 7D2D?
It is pretty much an industry standard for most software, which is why they wouldn't add such a warning. Once you have moved forward, the data is updated. It cannot be reversed. Modding is similar. When you choose to play with mods, you also lock into that game client version that the mods are...
When you use Vortex to install mods, it creates hard links in the appdata folders. When you un-install mods, it does not correctly remove those hardlinks or something like that. I honestly haven't tested what Vortex is doing in a couple of years, but the issue is that the creation and removal of...
Would have needed the log from when you started the client and this issue occurred.
Would need more detailed information, like logs and a Speccy. There is a Pinned thread that literally tells you to read it before posting so that you know what we need you to provide. My bet though, is that you have a PSU going South. I experienced something similar recently when mine did so.
Your camera has a microphone. The app will check for devices even if you disable the feature, so that they are available to choose from if you enable it. This is also the second thread on this, but for whatever reason I cannot find the first. Edit: Found it...
Sorry for the delay. @M1 Avi Your account is now unbanned.
Thanks. Umbionis is on Discord; looks like he can handle this one. :cool:
This is usually an issue with not being able to reach the EoS servers for authentication. It isn't a game issue, it is an internet/DNS issue. I would start by fully flushing the DNS cache from the computer, powering off the router/modem, powering off the PC, then turn the modem back on, wait...
I can look into this, but will need your unique discord ID number. Click on your profile image in the bottom left (Desktop app), and then click the button for "Copy User ID". Then just paste it here. If you're on mobile, I have no idea. I tried on my device, but I cannot find it. Used to be...
I did some research, and the only thing I could find were things about EAC not working on Linux, which isn't true either. Not a lot that mentioned Bazzite specifically. I run Ubuntu 26.04.1, and run loads of EAC games without an issue. There are a couple that I have to set to Proton 10 for it...
This is more a question of base design than it is proposing an idea to add to the game. Moving from Pimp Dreams to General Discussion.
IIRC there was a bug where if you eat/drink while riding and basically get infinite stamina/food/water. So the mechanic was removed.
It would be best to detail individual defects, where the game fails to work as expected, in the bug reports section. Or if someone's having trouble getting the game to do what it normally can do, try the Support section. If you have thoughts on expanding what the game can do, Pimp Dreams is...
I think everyone has been responding with good intentions, but very well. I'm locking the thread, and then only devs will be able to reply. I hear you that you don't have the server logs, but I do note a resolution may not be possible without one. You can see what QA says though. Update...
Would need logs from both the server and the client when this occurs. You did not provide any.
Direct links to Discord channels, outside of the platform itself, can be iffy in my experience. If you can get into the official 7 Days to Die Discord server, then hopefully you'll see the "7DTD Community Clip Challenge" section, which is where all the links above are intended to take you:
The User Research team got a measurable swell of new participants last week! Thanks to all who have applied. I haven't heard of any changes on this. Again, the Playtest Squad is a separate track from Experimental builds. I'm not familiar with all the different efforts available on different...
Hi metal_man1990, Thanks for reaching out. I passed your request to skip the waiting period along to the Discord mods, and you should be all set to use it now. Enjoy!
To address your concerns: On your perception of a forum-wide anti-PvP slant, understand that forum policy is agnostic on PvE, PvP, modding, or any other particular game feature. It's true that some features are more or less popular with players or more or less supported by the game software...
Poor Hugh. He probably wracked his brain for a clever reference, and the only thing he could come up with is "obscure." If only there were another rhyming, two word name that starts with the letter C. Alas, none come to mind...
As Riamus alluded, uploaded mods are implemented as Resources, which are a little different than forum threads. Hence threads aren't generally moved directly to Released Mods; rather, a discussion thread is generated automatically if and when you submit a finished mod. I see no problem with this...
We’ve created a ticket for the issue with loading the Sign Up page. Until it can be fixed, those experiencing this should please go to https://account.bhvr.com/ and create a BHVR account there. Once registered, select “become a playtester” on the right panel and try to sign up from this flow...
