We didn't even like having to carry soooo many clothes (and still do early game) when temperatures were a thing. What makes them think that half a dozen armor sets each only good for one aspect of the game are going to be liked by its dwindling playerbase. It is just going back to having to carry around more crap in a small inventory.

I think fast travel is ok, but needs to be done right. So youre not actually "teleporting" instantly between locations, your in game time changes to however long whatever your vehicle takes to travel there. 4 hours in game from where you need to go? Fast travel, but game time goes from 13:00 to 17:00. Fast travel with a bicycle should take more in game time than the motorcycle etc... Also add in a game stage vehicle damage debuff. Low level game stage costs your vehicle like 20% damage, with higher levels being less damage... Still walking? No fast travel for you.

Darkness Falls Mod has been the update I've wanted for the game, from adding a bigger tech tree to adding a bigger zombie tree. Changing the color of a zombies cloth will not be a substantial addition past "ooo new zombie...meh same thing different cloths" I've never been a fan of set bonuses in RPGs. They always break the role playing part of the game for me. All that being said I truly am glad at least one game has successfully created a long-term service game with out selling their soul completely.

I really hope they plan for more zombie variation than just clothing color changes. I know it's very advanced, but I'd love to see some kind of face randomization on the zombies so that each of them look different.

I don't know about anyone else but I think the outfits for armor is going to be a pain, always needing to change out a armor set when you want to chop trees, fight zombies, build etc..

I found an ore deposit but I am not wearing the miner outfit so I have to go all the way home and drop things off and change to the miner and then travel all the way back.

Looking at many of the play throughs of the mods out there, I think the zombie 'palette' could easily be increased without killing the basic performance of 7D2D. Bandits, and more story elements would be better. I am not a code enabled guy, but much performance could be mitigated with a new engine (yeah, I am saying Crysis or Unreal).

Why hasn’t PlayStation 4 gotten an update in forever?

I always took their side, but I am getting tired. All they do is change already implemented mechanics, some new textures and some POIs. There are issues old as the game itself yet they are never fixed. Like server lag, zombies not spawning for players on servers larger than 5 players, delayed zombie spawns, water physics. I would even say that if those would be fixed and implemented in an older alpha, say alpha18. Players would rather play that, than new alpha with some unasked changes. Like, why the f did they f*** with the server search UI. It's garbage, I use EU in search yet I see Japan servers. I am really sick and tired of them calling new alphas but it's just old stuff changed, and sometimes for the worst. I have no expectations anymore. I am just playing Alpha 19 and I mod it, all I took from "new alphas" is the vehicle modding and new zombie textures and added them to A19 and more mods from the internet to spice it up. I truly feel like they f with us. People on forums say what they want, yet they seem blind. It is what it is and I am sad I became one of the people who are mad at them since I was defending them from A16 till they dropped A21. Still for the price I paid, i got my money worth. I am just sad they still work on the game, but instead of doing important critical stuff, they just mess with already implemented things we get used to and ship it as new alpha once very year and a half.

Am calling bullshit that they will not come out till 2025. Make it another 10 years to release.

Honestly I'd mostly just want to see things like auto crafters being added, that'll pull resources from a pool of storage chests and continue to make certain items until you tell it to stop. I get sick of so many hordes making ammo for turrets simply because of the tedium of having to go to each bench every time, I don't mind the actual resource gathering though.
