falloutcloud Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Oh man I prefered LBD. I wish they never took that out but it is what it is. I loved the old leveling system but this one is good and I have not publically spoken on how I feel as I felt it needed a lot more work before throwing out another opinion. so I have been waiting till A18 before I say a word. looks like they might get it right. I did like LBD too. I am also looking forward to the updated exp system in a18. I do agree though that the level/exp system is more flavor. Though in a17 your crafting is gated in INT. The game to me is all about looting, building, and then tower defense. Right now I sometimes forget to add my points and might have gained 5-8 levels before I start adding perks.

Pico Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 To be fair, the door collider isn't ON until the door is completely shut, so I think a couple of those were legit, a few got pushed through. Nothing Faatal can't fix and that is why its not release yet, we're still finding little things like that. That 'push through' problem is also valid for traders. I've witnessed on two occasions Z's inside a traders (and I ALWAYS ensure I close the trader door on entry and on exit). The best example was a pack of dogs up against the rear (exterior) wall of the traders. They'd piled 3 high, and some dogs had got through (about 3). They were inside the traders compound, stuck against the front wall (heads poking through) and I was able to club them in the head from outside the traders. The other case was a snow zombie. He'd been in there a while, and I didn't witness how he got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doombringer101 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Wow, I have a treat for you guys.... I recorded day 77 and it was super intense! Sorry no behemoth spawned, but I promise you some crazy action. I will need to farm 2k rounds for the next horde and have another m60 on my belt Uploading now. Here you go: That was great MM A horde night vid was what I was waiting to see. I liked what I saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechanicalLens Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Check out that video I just shot and tell me. I didn't like how horde night was over so fast if you had 16+ alive so I had gazz add more total counts to the later stages. As you can see it lasted all night I'll need to farm more ammo for sure and try to get a better m60. This is fantastic news! Previously, if we wanted a longer horde, we would have to log off once the initial horde was over and thus summon in a second horde, but it was slightly immersion breaking. Glad to know that the max zombies per horde night has been raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pico Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Wow, I have a treat for you guys.... I recorded day 77 and it was super intense! Here you go: Thanks for that. It looked like a lot of fun. Crazy as it sounds, but ammo / brass scarcity has always led me to play with arrows and clubs. I've never used either of those automatic weapons, but I doubt that horde could have been beaten with anything less than automatics. It was interesting to see your play style changed as the ammo supply shank... you went from belly shots on automatic to head shots on semi auto/burst. Those weapons are awesome for cutting through the Zeds with only 2-3 shots, even radiated wights. 2 questions... why do you have that perilous drop for your own character over the spinning blade trap (I could seem myself falling through it), and was your ammo supply aquired through legit play, or through the console?

Here you go: That was an absolutely epic showdown! My heart was racing when the zombies busted through those iron bars! I was astonished they didn't bust through the vault door in a matter of a few tens of seconds like they would do in A17. If some tweaking has been done (I do know you've nerfed individual zombie block damage), that's awesome! I was convinced that "conventional horde bases" were a thing of the past. Either you had a cheesy pathway that exploited their AI and ensured they did no damage to your base, or it was a losing fight. Despite the fact that the zombies breached your base, this video has proven me otherwise. I also noticed that the zombies semi-followed you around, instead of mindlessly attacking one or two blocks of your base. While they were still focusing on specific weakened points of the structure, there definitely seemed to be some minor differences in AI. (Either that, or I'm imagining things / I'm mistaken.)

Sorry I had to, everyone is like hey thank you thats such a great video lmao. It honestly sucked ass but I'm assuming its just to show off A18 during horde night so it did its job I guess. Personally I never watch people play video games, besides Neebs, so maybe I just cannot see the joy in watching a video of someone playing a game...either way. Vid sucked and thought I'll be the one to say it, gotta keep you grounded brotha should all this praise go to your head. (laughing) Joking Or am I.......

I'm honestly relieved that pathing bases/mazes/etc. that exploit their AI are not the end-all-be-all. ^^ So true, thats exatly why i do not understand lol. I do stealth and almost no guns so I always have enough ammo. I have friends that prefer gun and run style and they always have enough ammo. I have not been able to figure out why some players just bitch and complain about there not being enough ammo. I lean towards lazy players that just want everything handed to them instead of putting in the work to make that ammo. Who knows though, I could care less (laughing). Hopefully this "lack of ammo", which I doubt exists, is fixed in A18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this "lack of ammo", which I doubt exists, is fixed in A18. Lack of ammo wasn't the problem, the lack of brass was. I wouldn't go that far for all of them. Some players just use a boat load of ammo, and their perception is that ammo is somewhat scarce in the world. As the saying goes, perception is reality. (Or to be more accurate, an individual's perception is how they think reality works.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieSurvivor Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Oh I know all about the bitching and complaining by players regarding brass. I have always been outspoken about brass and how to get it. Again this falls on players not knowing every single way to get brass. I have never once had an issue with brass and after teaching my friends where to collect brass, they never ever once had another issue with lack of brass. This is an opinion I strongly stand by and not really excited that TFP adjusted brass for A18 for all those players that want the game watered down.

I'm no dev though so I'm sure they made that decision bases upon ♥♥♥♥ we cannot see. Whatever dude. Hey, at least many of the methods we can use to get more brass, is locked behind books, which in turn are locked behind RNG. Don't like it, don't read the books. I personally like variety. While stealth will always be the most efficient route to go, I'd rather not look at my gun's chamber and carefully decide if I should fire one bullet or a dozen, or leave the gun back at home. Sure, you may not have a problem with brass - I rarely did - but for larger servers outside of SP, it must have been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieSurvivor Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yeah, Hell at least now brass will be a lot more abundant which hopefully will get players to stop crying about "lack of brass".

archergod Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Please tell me that the stack size of ammo has not been reduced to 100 bullets per slot. There goes my inventory space. actually 100 slot is good, as they have now compact packaging that can stack (4+ in video) means 400+ bullet, if that compact pack stack 10 it means 1000 of bullet in one space, which is increase.. it is like Gas Can and Gas Barrel thing now. - - - Updated - - - The only thing that "sucked" about it was the amount of ammo used. I hope madmole has several good mines located! Lol He was using lot of ammo as he is doing blind shooting at time. If you make a zig saw base like in A17, your amount of bullet will reduce. It was his play style, I guess it is great to have that game style, I never try it. but will surely do it when I get chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be weird if a wrench is not needed lol. I'm personally fine when it comes to brass. Yes, I can get in a pinch if I don't have enough ammo for the approaching horde night, and with most faucets being made of iron now, and the majority of lights not giving brass now (few did before anyway), the addition of one more source of brass (from air conditioners) is a welcome addition imo. Finding more brass in loot (via a book) or getting brass doorknobs from doors (via a book) are slightly "excessive" imo, but again, they're locked behind RNG. While I personally would not like zinc and copper to be added to the game to make brass with (don't worry, that will never happen lol), a couple more sources of brass are a welcome feature in my eyes, even if they are not guaranteed. Besides, different playstyles exist. Some people like going gung-ho, and for them, the most brass, the better. While using your gun like madmole did isn't recommended, it shouldn't be locked out imo. It should be optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
