The Final Showdown Update (12th dec) - rumours and discussion (wiki)

They havent mentioned anything about max skills limit?

Has anyone figured out how to open the .db files?

What db files? Can you post the link that has db file?

If you read the introduction of GZ today after 5 years, it would seem as if all the islands would gradually become accessible. That was a fallacy. In the middle of it all, the developers lost interest in the expansions expected by the audience for whatever reason. Maybe they make more money with parallel projects. That’s why I don’t believe in a larger island. It will probably be Island 1 or the island of roughly the same size just northeast on Himfjäl near Österhällan. They`ve have lost interest.

That (thumbs.db) usually are just files that Windows created automatically in folders with images or videos to enable a preview of the images or videos.

No, it’ll be island 2, so the one west of klinte and muskudden port.

I think, that the plans they had just were too great.
They had more to do with finding and solving bugs than expected. And they had to improve the engine several times.
One year they lost half a year because of changes in the Microsoft environment which forced them to review and redo much of the code of GZ on xbox… And to make it fit afterwards with what the other platforms got.

Of course many changes in their plans will also have happened due to changes on personal… In the management as well as at the devs.

Finally, if we get a good final update, everything is fine. Yeah, there was more potential, but it’s still better than having all islands but an unstable game or inconstistend/unfinished story.

Some more Questions


  • I wonder what the story date will be at the time of the showdown mission, for instance is it 10 March 1990? Maybe that is told in the lore.

  • Will we still be able to travel to the new island, after the showdown missions?

  • And will there still be machine spawning on that new Island, after the showdown missions?


What do you think?

Good question.
Will there be a second way to get there or just by boat?
Will we open a tunnel maybe?

I think that we’ll maybe have some collectibles there to find (with more lore). To be able get them all we should be able to get there later, too.

No idea. Does it matter? What about 10th march 1990?

Maybe not inside the structure(s) or their areas, but on open range on that island.

It doesn’t matter really, but for people who are into the lore it would be nice to know the date when a key story event happened / ended. We know when Cataclysm day was.

10 March 1990 is just an example and a guess to what I think the date could be.

Or will there be a safehouse we can fast travel to.

I would not like it if we can only go to the island one time for the mission and that after the mission the island would be inaccessible.

Yes, focusing on the Xbox dilemma was the wrong decision. The game itself, in terms of idea and implementation, was the best for me. Alternatives like HALO are too flashy and too colorful for me. As long as the devs allow it, I will continue playing GZ , but it’s so frustrating to never have known the further potential of this game :frowning:

I asked Carni regarding new safehouses and collectibles. He said yes… I just don’t know if it was an answer for both or just for the collectibles.

How do you open them? I cant get any of the .db files to open…

They’re not meant to be openend.
It’s just thumbs.db-files.

Just info for the thumbnails.

Oh, okay, I thought they might be hiding some information in there.

What resources do you think the chemical lab, drill, and furnace will generate?

I guess they all can generate the same, independent of where you build them.
Probably all you need for crafting. Idk

Almost bet it will be related to more crafting.

The transmission from Veronika is at 40% now, so 20% per day means whatever it is it will be in three days, so next monday.
