Thecolours Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 We nerfed single zed damage and buffed group zed damage. The result is one guy can pound for a long time and not do much damage but a group is something to worry about. THe design changed on the demolisher, so its not that now. What's the new design of the demolisher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FileMachete Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thought on a Skyscraper Unique loot/reward. A new, not craftable until end-game, -very- high SI Truss block. Something that would allow larger open spaces. I think there was once a not-in-game(?) Bridge Truss or somthing like that? (might've been a mod) Kind of fits the skyscraper theme, could be sellable for decent coin for those not interested in using them for building. -- or hey! maybe scappable for Steel? ... Wasn't there something months back about adding more things that you'd get Steel from? Same could be done if Elevators are ever possible. Maybe just a unique 'Elevator Parts' bit, but only found in skyscrapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdubyah Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So if the demolisher is still changing, I take it that means it won't make it in A18? Or maybe a .2 or .3 update, or is it just pushed to A19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think we've ironed out what's off about the T5 POIs, the reward does not match the effort properly. Like Kage said the loot at the end of a T3 is pretty much the same as a T5. I did a number of T5's anyway, mostly for the experience since they are awesome POIs, but after doing each of them once I had no meaningful reason or desire to do them again. In every game afterward I would just stroll past them with no intention or motivation to bother, ever, the net gains vs the time/effort/ammo they require is out of balance as it is in A17. Very understandable since they are so new, but as a final verdict I admit they need some balance. A major loot buff of some kind, which it sounds like is in the works already, would help the situation immensely. Seems like a well covered topic at this point, that's just my 2 cents on it. If people would read what I write they would know we improved the loot and the quest rewards for A18 and rebalanced all the POIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I would like to see stamina\hunger\thirst drain be tied to difficulty level so when you raise the difficulty these things get harder to manage. As it is even when I play on the hardest difficulty stamina\food\thirst are just as much a complete non issue as playing on the easiest difficulty setting. I just think it would actually help bring some kind of challenge to playing on the harder difficulties I'm not interested in micromanaging balance at that level. You can just as easily install a mod that does this, heck one I might make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmole Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm about 100 pages behind, I know, but someone mentioned the necronomicon and I feel obligated to say the words. Klaatu verata n... necktie... nectar... nickel... noodle... Definitely an 'N' word... Was just talking today about making a book bound in human flesh you open and a nasty horde comes, if you survive it, you get Ash's Legendary chainsaw and shotgun.

madmole Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm 80% certain that beds that you place already work as bedrolls... or at least have in a previous alpha... - - - Updated - - - i get that... but 50 xp (only knowing A17 obviously) isnt even something i would click "read" for. seeing how rare it is based on your experience, it would be worth more like... 5000xp. You gain a nice perk, the XP is just bonus so when your inventory is full you can get rid of it and get some XP, which means future read copies aren't complete trash.

madmole Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 ? What does he do now? We are coding in the first version. I'm not going to say what that is because it might change 5x before we ship, so I don't want to read page after page about something that isn't even done.

khzmusik Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Not sure, we'll have old non functional casino machines probably for sure. I think including any kind of gambling mechanics in a video game is a really bad idea right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odetta Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think including any kind of gambling mechanics in a video game is a really bad idea right now. If we had to pay real money then yes. Micro-transactions being the impetus for all the hoopla. Gambling for in-game stuff, with in-game currency that you have to play the game for is not even close to the same thing. The Pimps are not selling us "Dukes" to use in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one of the criticisms is that this feeds into peoples' real-life gambling addictions. They may not lose real money on it, but it's still kind of a bummer, especially since gambling mechanics really wouldn't add anything to this game.

meganoth Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Was just talking today about making a book bound in human flesh you open and a nasty horde comes, if you survive it, you get Ash's Legendary chainsaw and shotgun. Cool idea. Stuff like this gives the player something unique to discover, a break in the usual pattern of procedural randomness.

TSRViper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Does the game also then need a ‘contains drug use’ warning too? This goes back to the old violent video games cause violence argument... Some common sense is expected on the user base I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillls Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 After catching up my biggest takeaway is that we can no longer use “DP” because we won’t be able to tell if someone is talking about “death penalty” or “death punishment”. damn, Does it matter??? Also it could stand for dumb pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieHorde Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Maybe A19 we can make some other beds besides bedrolls work and possible benefits to being near them, like recovery perk or heal faster. I was thinking about that last night with the books. Instead of reading right there, right when you find the book (who can do that lacking the luxuries of sitting down, relaxed?) take it home, read it at night where you might be able to get a higher XP because you're more comfortable in your palace.

Hang on...so, if something that was already in content lock is being redesigned, can that mean the other 70 odd bugs are also redesigns like 'redesign water for boats', 'redesign food for spoilage', 'rejig the world for 16k'?
