And here's the problem. Any experienced player can play on default with any build with ease. I was playing a full int crafting build when I played with my brother (who was new to the game), with weapons that I had no specs in and was doing just fine while he died a few times (while being combat oriented build). One time, I jumped solo in a small room containing 8-10 zombies with a low level iron sledge and a pipe shotgun and survived by just dancing in circle around them. It's actually a bit boring with how easy things are at default difficulty now. Once you're used to the game, I believe you need to play a few settings up (especially zombie speed) to really judge if a build is decent.

I don't have a problem with them cheesing. They can do whatever they want. I have a problem with them voluntarily cheesing and then complaining about it. It's like a player playing with cheat codes and then complaining there are cheat codes. They are complaining about a problem that has no realistic solutions once you have done the POI once and know where the loot is. You can always just go straight to the loot afterwards. Random placement would just mean you have to check 1-5 spots or so until you find the main chest instead of one.

Whether the loot is on the roof, underground or in the middle of the building, you can always dig/pole up/break walls to it and avoid 95%+ of the POI. In a fully destroyable world, it is impossible to prevent cheesing the POI. The problem here is you and your family are deciding to cheese.

As other have said, bandits are currently the only non-trader NPC announced. They will be hostile to you. If you want to get some insight on what's planned, I recommend the A21 Dev Diary: https://community.7daystodie.com/topic/28129-alpha-21-dev-diary/ They have art of what's coming next, confirmed A21 features and several TFP employees interact with people there.

But I've been told in other threads that the team doesn't care about what players have to say! 😋 More seriously, thanks!

Actual story questline involving White River and the Duke is the plan AFAIK.

Then post good ones?

About point #3, there are already bars for hunger and thirst in the vanilla HUD. There's no number on it, but you can estimate pretty well.

Probably around 2-3PM CST.

Finally a reason/reward of clearing T4/T5 at lower levels!

RIP Blunderbuss, snowberries, grain alcohol, moldy bread and challenge notes. Can we be Monday yet?

They were told that TFP is looking at December 3rd, but it is not official yet, so the streamers are sharing uncertain info. Go look at the Dev thread.

They can also be found at traders before that. You can have the crucible before the first horde if you are lucky.

Punching things to death is fortitude in this game. 😁

So your gamestage should be around 50 which is not very high.

As Far As I Know

AFAIK, the Canadian military use the C7 and C8. They do not use the AR-15. Similar weapons, but it's funny someone would put those together and then insist the machete should be called a kukri.

Zombie type is related to your game stage (which is related to days and level with a negative when you die). You might be leveling too slow which is why you don't see many of the higher level zombies.

While I don't care if it doesn't have every house POI, it would be nice if it always generated the high tier POIs like the factories, Red Mesa, Dishong tower, Higashi tower, hospital etc. Those places are a lot of fun. I don't think I've ever encountered the Dishong or Higashi towers in any random world in the alphas I played (18.4-present). I don't really care if houses repeat, but it would be nice to have the Higashi tower instead of some repeat of another high tier POI.

Pretty sure the pipe weapons are "stone age" weapons just like the blunderbuss was. I don't see them adding any new tier anytime soon.

I was just curious and trying to understand. I don't get the appeal, but you have the right to play the game however you want.

My question is what do you do in a game where zombies don't attack you unless attacked? Run around, loot and build random buildings?

I would be surprised if 7DTD turned gold in 1-2 years. Pretty sure we have several years to get to gold and then a period where gold gets fixes.

I played ESO for a while, so for me CP is champion points. The ESO forum is full of CP talk and I doubt anyone ever brought this up. 😆
