madmole Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Can i have a little request for future implimention. To. TFP Can you add more roaming zombie walkers or runners in town and cities so that the doesnt feel empty? I mean the POIs are filled with many zombies can you put some of them on the streets? So entering the cities and town are more alive i mean undead. Thank you. Keep up the good work and have a nice day! If we can get our performance up we can consider that.

FileMachete Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Well that sounds like a lame bug to me. You should get the same resources if you one shot the block vs hitting it 1000 times with your fists. So if we fix that bug, will the crying cease of the one shot perk? Everyone cried when we took out one shotting (I always liked it) so my thought here was to bring it back in some sense but not have it be too OP in every case. For me (wiping away tears), absolutely. And ya know, a rare 15 minute magazine, "Hulk SMASH!" that provided one-shotting Stone, Sand & Ores with any pickaxe would be a hell of a find!

madmole Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 I confirmed there is a mining bug giving you extra resources, that will be fixed so I see no problem with one shotting perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually expect you to get fewer resources one-shotting blocks, because you're being less careful digging out those resources. After all, there's a reason archaeologists use delicate instruments rather than sledgehammers. That also gives an interesting in-game choice between maximising speed or maximising resource gains when destroying blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrella Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If we can get our performance up we can consider that. You can probably work around any performance hit by taking a dynamic approach. Like a small horde that respawns fast near the player, or an automatic heat increase while player is in the city. Same for roaming hordes. The only true problem is xp balance, on which I completely agree with another post (https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?112454-Things-TFP-removed-and-you-wish-they-hadn-t/page6): Thanks for the explanation, although tbh it has me scratching my head in a "TFP fixed this by doing what now ...?" kinda way. If players want XP we run over to a POI, knock on the wall and start wailing on everything that stirs. XP can be easy to get from mauling zombies, and zombies can be found. Heck, honestly, look at the screamer farm tricks going around. Removing from of the core beautiful features of a zombie apocalypse - i.e.: the hordes - to address a gameplay feature ... in a zombie game - that of XP ... as a fix ... is ... strange at best. Hordes need to come back, period. Address the XP in other ways. We can get screamer hordes, we can get xp farms ... so address the XP by reducing volume of XP, or XP diminishes by kills in quick succession, or XP is awarded for "horde" vs. "zombie" etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareee Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I think we could spawn some with missing limbs at random then we'd see more of that. That would actually be cool!

Trankitas Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 MM, i have a question about the new books/magazines design. Anyone can read the books and learn the abilities? o will they have skill requierements? Example: A book that allows you to craft refined fuel (better performance per gallon or something) requires having Yeah science skill lvl 5 If you don't have that ability you better trade it to someone who can use it, sell it or scrap. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? There are zero requirements. Every time I started thinking "you know this is pretty cool perk, it should have some requirements" I came back to the realization that it takes away from the design which was to give players something useful but not OP to collect from book stores with a cool bonus after collecting them all.

If its too game breaking that someone might acquire some perk early game then we can make it more challenging to acquire some part you need to craft x. So you can craft a gyro copter, good luck finding the "rare gadget" needed to craft it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faatal Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Probably better illumination mod or something to that affect. Thinking we could also have different coloured mods for lights,allow us to customise our beams etc haha. Yes. Increases brightness and range. I could have giving it a cool name like Super Bright, but it just has a boring name until MM or whoever decides on the real names. Colors? We could. Maybe later.

dorkchops Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 With the addition of RWG rivers will we be seeing powered and unpowered water vehicles? I can imagine paddle trikes, paddle boards, row boats, jetskis, motorboats, even military boats with turret guns mounted to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, as much as I would like to see any of that, they really need to fix water first. I see that as among their most broken systems at the moment, and sincerely looking forward to when it is addressed. I wonder if there are any plans for that soon?

But i thought you were trying to add professions to the game, what's you angle on that one? Okay, gimme a sec. Ouch. Professions are a lofty idea but at the end of the day I think most players just want "play style" and no one pre-canned character can encompass that. So build your own character with perks and play style you choose. If the books entice you go find them they let you specialize a bit more. You can sell them or read them. I think they are good enough most people will read them and maybe even trade sell with other players as finding that full set could prove challenging with RNG.

Are they gonna work like weapon mods so we can see the modifications? That way we can armor plate the vehicles, add spikes, etc?

I mean the ability to read books in a certain order. For example, if I found books with numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, then I can read only book with number 1 and cannot read other books until I find book with number 2. Something like volumes. If you do not know what happened in the past volume, you will not be able to understand what the next volume is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
