Keep it comin!! I really like this one, feels much more 'alive'. I dont know what I mean by that even haha. It gives the appearance that the trader put a lot of effort into hunkerin down there I guess, I mean.

Thanks for sharing ~

Well, I liked those barbed wires too, but honestly they were removed because they were way too OP. Same thing that happened to Log Spikes.

People just put a huge amount of barbed wire on the ground during horde night, and they would slow down and damage zeds everywhere. Basically they were free, no electricity, "shock wires" you could put everywhere.

There's always a reason why they remove stuff. And if they put it back it's probably because they rebalanced it to fit better into the game.

I can understand how, from a player perspective, that would look like random, but it's not.

Wow, they're using all this time to implement stuff we actually want like bandits? No? Looks like me and my friends will play something else until Alpha 23...or 24...or 117.

Ok.

But for me, I'm happy to have these other listed changes in the meantime, instead of them releasing nothing til bandits are done. It's not like they're holding off on starting bandits til after A21.

(OK fine maybe "happy" is the wrong word because some of the changes sound like horse doodoo, but I'm still looking forward to finding out.)

Why would the level designers be working on bandits? You are drawing parallels that don't exist. Stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ take if you ask me.

I'm hoping at some point they make lootable containers in sight of the the trader into vending machines. Stealing stuff in sight of the trader always fells a little silly.

Either that or have the traders comment "Hey, you're gonna pay for that, right?" <queue prime shotgun sound> with a small rep hit unless paid off. :)

Jen knows you've been stealing things, but she still likes you.

In Link's Awakening (Gameboy, 1993) if you stole something from the store the game changed your name to "THIEF" on the actual savefile. Every single NPC in the game addressed you as THIEF as well.

Though, saying NPC is weird in a historical sense... we didn't call em that. They were just characters haha.

Yep.... remember those days well. To this day, I'm reluctant to 'steal' things in games. Even in 7d2d..... it took me a couple play-thru's before I felt 'comfortable' raiding the Traders compound and wouldn't even think of touching anything inside their store where they could 'see' me doing it. I actually liked that mechanic.... which still exists in the Elder Scrolls games.
