NPCs?
Are NPC's out yet?

I have been told since A16 that they were coming, A17, A18, A19.

Any news on it yet?

I get OP by saying that the core features of the game are solid, and alot of fun. But I've seen ( and followed ) alot of these NPC related questions and not just 7dtd.

Example: Project Zomboid had NPC's in that were dumb as **** but they would function when the game just released. So they removed NPC's to work on them an the community was mess since then. Years later NPC's are still not in the game and players start asking questions. Problem is, every player that asked questions got downvoted to hell and back because "the game isnt all about NPC's"

I see the same problem coming with 7dtd, where if players ask about them or whatever the community just start bashing on those people.

For some people NPC's create a whole lot of extra content for them to enjoy, and when developers tell them it will probably be released A15 and yet here we are, still doubting if they would even be released in A20.

PS. I've been playing the game since A7, and have waited for these NPC's to come along since then. I like what the devs are adding, but it's not what i'm personally looking for.

No yet. They are still working on it. They don't want to have them in the game until they work as intended.

I think they are. My truck has been moved several times. Not a lot, just enough to know someone has driven it.

Crappy, but thanks for the info - didn't really want to go reading a bunch of notes that won't matter in a few months :lunar2020contentgoat:

I mean it's not like they have to push it all out at once...

Just putting guards at the trader locations that shoot you if you try to take over, rather then having the stupid "you can't dig here" bing. That would be a nice change.

There's a few mods that have NPCs in them. I play Darkness Falls a bunch, and they have extra traders in each trading post, armed guards manning the post walls (the invincible post has been disabled, so they can be damaged / overrun / destroyed). Survivors wander out in the wild, hirable mercenaries can be found just walking through the world, bandits can attack you, and wandering traders show up here and there to do a little bartering with out in the middle of nowhere... I hope some of those concepts get rolled into vanilla, they add some fun elements.

A lot of the mods that add survivors in don't work that well.

And they've been saying they'll be in the next alpha for the past 4? Not a big deal, I agree that they had to restructure their game to appeal to a wider audiance.

I just want features that will add more life to the game, to many people play for a month or two and then dip out because once you have 600Q stuff, there is no need to do anything anymore.

Supporting that idea, the in-progress junk drone could be seen as a proto-NPC before they do it ‘for real’.
