It got buffed I believe but I feel like the motorcycle is still faster and has more control.

I was just driving all my vehicles today and I feel as though motorcycles should have reduced space, they're a very overpowered vehicle. Most people don't make the 4x4 because its a lot slower and is harder to control, the few more spaces of storage still doesn't make it a comparable choice to the motorcycle. I feel like reducing the motorcycle space in half would be more balanced because right now there is no incentive to make the 4x4 besides completionist reasons. If not then i would swap them and make the 4x4 available before the motorcycle since the motorcycle is the obvious superior vehicle.

It goes very far early on, but by day 35 I'm already making my own ammo and I wouldnt be using a pistol, maybe as a last resort. I'll have a ak, shotgun and grenades by then. I went from getting junk to beakers and level 2 weapons and tools just by spending 1 point into lucky looter.

I'm loving alpha 19, I just feel like ammo is to easy to find and comes with too of it much in loot. I'm day 2 in my world and I already have 100 pistol ammo and alot of rifle ammo as well lol I think when you find ammo you should find maybe 1 or 2 bullets at a time. I just recieve 150 ammo for a tier 1 u po lol Its harder to get feathers to make arrows then to get bullets. You could pretty much skip the bow and go straight to a pistol or blunderbuss. I feel like guns should be more mid game because of how much damage they deal compared to bows. Maybe its lucky looter that needs to be nerfed. I spected 1 point into lucky looter and you can tell the difference is alot. You can find really good stuff early on if you just put one point in it after the tutorial. I just don't want to be a level 3 powerhouse you know 😂😂😂 but good work I like the new graphics and how you could get injured now. Great update overall guys especially during this pandemic..

Finally kicked away my pride and restarted with 90 min days instead of 60 min and it’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in A18... Now that I have more time I’ve been on a looting “Binge” I’m loving the loot Fun Pimps. People complaining about crafting. Get out your base and loot. This isn’t Minecraft my friends. It’s a zombie apocalypse. You can still craft a ton I don’t see what’s the big deal.

I understand what you saying @kalarro but I’m going to have to side with @ghostlight on this one. It’s still crafting and pretty much the same thing. It’s just gun parts instead reforged iron or w/e it used to be. The thing is you’d have to actually go looting get these parts instead of mass producing reforged iron. So is it the looting you don’t like and having a problem with? Because I don’t get your debate otherwise. Because for example if I use gun parts, duck tape, oil , leather to make a gun. Then use reforged iron, duck tape, oil , leather to make the gun. It’s the same thing just swapped gun parts for reforged iron. They are both crafting. As I said the only difference is you have to loot for parts and can’t mass produce late game items in your base with a forge.

I like tier 3 + plus but maybe they should be timed for example “you have 2 in game days to finish or you’ll fail” instead of a “can’t leave the area you’ll fail” like tier 1 & 2. I feel like more people would like them more because tier 4 and 5 cause. 1. you to have to sacrifice important loot. 2. Waste your night time, having to stay crouched quietly in a large zombie infested poi. If your on multiplayer it’s completely cool but for a solo tier 5, you are not clearing and looting that place in one game day maybe not even 2 if you play 60 min days like myself.

Your right on that but maybe it could be used with oil shale to make gas, and used in every electricity item. I know you guys can seamlessly blend it in more. Make junk ammo use lead instead of iron. I don’t know but yeah maybe reducing it or leaving it as is, not really a big deal to be honest.

The thing is I feel like the game is going into a different direction in A18 than previous alphas. It may be good for some and disappointing for others. It’s not about balance between crafting and looting. He wants the game to be more like fallout which is loot reliant and less like Minecraft which is mostly crafting. I just want to throw in I love crafting so either way will way fit my play style and I’ll adjust. I do think the loot should be turned down just a bit. The base loot bonus is to high now. The quality of loot that you can get in just one poi is insane now, I do agree with you guys on that end but I don’t think it’s a loot vs crafting thing they are completely two different elements of the game.

I was thinking lead should be put into more items for crafting. Potassium nitrate and coal are used in a lot of items. Is lead used in anything else besides bullets? Lead seems to be the most prominent ore in the game besides iron.

I don’t think looting is overpowered I think crafting was over powered and caused many exploits in the game which I will not get into here, thats a whole other conversation. People just not used to the balancing as of yet. It’s really not that hard to find parts. You shouldn’t be able to perk in to your skill and make purple items day 5, that’s not fun. I believe madmole said he wants the game to have more progression. I’m not saying you don’t go out and loot but a lot of players just sat in their bases and crafted items he wanted to be for late game and the game had no progression, nothing to work towards. Just as I didn’t like zombies digging down at first now I welcome it and understand it, it makes the game more interesting how you have to mine and can’t cheese underground bases. I feel like you’ll eventually welcome this change as well.

I can see and understand the argument where it’s looting vs crafting and I agree with both parties. But this game which was much more like Minecraft where it was more dedicated to crafting and resource harvesting. Where as it’s moving to a fallout/Skyrim type game where you mostly loot and are outside of your base to get parts,resources, materials etc. I like and agree with the change. At the end of the day just loot more, not that big of a deal. It’s balanced, you can’t get all items by looting nor by crafting. You got to do both. You can still craft everything besides late game items. Everything shouldn’t be craftable. Loot able exclusive items make the game more rewarding for certain players.

I know zombies AI don’t strictly path to doors anymore. I’m still trying to figure out if they path to the weakest block or just the block closet to you. Sorry if it was in the patch notes lol
