7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Knives aren't about staggering enemies. If you want to stagger them, use clubs or sledgehammers. Knives aren't for standing and fighting, it's for playing keep away and for one shot assassination of the unaware.

Knives are about inflicting DoT's with your attacks and then staying out of arms reach while they bleed to death. With a high knife skill, a single power attack will slam 4 or so bleed stacks on a zombie and more often than not, that is enough to kill a zombie over the course of it's duration.

Originally posted by ß₥ɦ ¦ вlϊтz: It's been in Alpha since it was released on Steam in 2013. I guess that I don't know what the definition of alpha means anymore because of games like this one. Alpha is abused almost as much as "Early Access" is so I don't pay attention to most labels like this anymore. As far as I'm concerned if the game is active and has a price attached to it then it's considered a release regardless of what the developers call it.

Been explained a thousand times, but in short, Alpha is a stage of game development. It has a very clear meaning. That meaning is, loosely, 'All the features and mechanics and such that we want in the game is not yet in the game'. After cramming all of that into the game, you then e... Read more

You could mod it, or find an existing mod that makes this change (see the Modding sub-forum). But you might instead go to the wasteland biome, where there's no rest period after clearing the roaming zombies before they appear again.

Nah, there are surely others still playing Alpha 16.4. It's the most developed version with learn-by-doing people are going to get. The later alphas are a significant departure in terms of design, and that was a deal breaker for some players. That's not to say the current version isn't more popular, though.

Last I was aware, that was the goal. They'll be doing a stream on a20 as soon as they can get a date scheduled for it, so it will be interesting to see what they cover.

I have been taking a very big break from the game so I've been out of touch with the updates. Would you know what use does the drone have? Is it an attack drone?

I'm not certain how much our NDA will let us say specifically. It's going to prove to be pretty versatile I think though. ... Read more

Originally posted by The Civillian: Now if it was raiding bandit bases and getting seen by sensors/security camera ect, FINE.

Since there’s a perk book that affects motion sensor/camera detection, and they don’t design around PvP, it’s safe to assume that’s exactly what we’ll have eventually. I’m not refuting anything you said, just excited about the future of stealth.

Vehicle mods
More zombie udpates
Junk drone
Final updates and optimization to RWG mixer (hopefully)
Code optimizations for managing data loaded into RAM
Updates and optimizations for graphics and lighting

At least, that's what has been hinted at so far. Until they start the a20 Dev Diary there really isn't much information outside of what you can scrape from the developer streams, or the current a19 dev diary[community.7daystodie.com].

They are not useless, you just need to repair them.

This. You can't just set and forget traps, Or walls even. Zombies WILL break them eventually, sooner or later.

Instead you should be finding a way to, for example, work maintenance passages/corridors/tunnels so you can repair vital things like blade traps throughout the night. Or to set up mul... Read more
