Quote:7 Days to Die: A few of us did have a 'dedicated' server up for a bit running off Slamz's extra machine (performance was surprisingly good all things considered). That ran its course when we couldn't make it hard enough; it got to a point where there was no point to it unless we started creating artificial rules on what we were going to allow ourselves to do/not do. Some of the patch they discussed might fix some of it but we've been doing other things since then and haven't been back to check it out. Crice might be able to give a better update as I think he's the only one currently dabbling in it.
I've continued playing 7d. The new alpha19 mostly just updated graphics. Higher resolution textures and new skins on zombies. A few new POIs and recipes. The loot progression is slower so you are using blunderbusses and primitive tools longer, but as far as difficulty goes I have noticed no difference from alpha18. You get hungry/thirsty faster, but that hasn't proven to be a problem for me either really.
The Darkness Falls mod does make the game harder, but it's much different than the vanilla game. You can find some "Let's Play" videos on Youtube if you want to check it out before downloading and installing it.
Quote:Yeah we probably should move to Discord really. Been paying for a Teamspeak server forever and now-a-days there's no special reason for it. We are mostly just lazy and resistant to change. (It's also one more thing to maintain but so far I've been able to make Arsilon do that one...)I thought we stuck with TS because the codecs are so much better. Every time I've used Discord, even recently, it just sounds like trash.
