JayzenFreeze Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I think I remember him commenting on that to the team. I don't think they'll downgrade to reinforced concrete for long. not a fan of that, it would be nice if there was a way that if you did the upgrades to the block the expensive way it breaks down from steel like it was wrapped around the reinforced concrete then reinforced concrete broke down to rebar frame then gone. Oh well I see zeds sometimes clip through doors again from video. QUESTION: will the pressure plates finally work right? Last time i used them every time a zed stepped on one it killed my FPS. I cant wait to play A18 though, great videos MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait to play A18 though, great videos MM Well it sounds like I could have it wrong at least in the case of steel. We'll see...I personally like the downgrading path instead of straight to air because it gives time to repair. Destroying instantly to air is a lot more difficult if you are trying to repair as you fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipClaw Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Then that is different or a change from what I heard. Madmole will have to clarify. I was under the impression all blocks will destroy to air. If they want the steel to be siding over the top of concrete....so be it. You only have to have a look at the blocks.xml file. If a downgrade block is specified in the block description then the block will not be destroyed. For example, for steelBlock the downgrade block is rConcreteBlock.

If a downgrade block is specified in the block description then the block will not be destroyed. For example, for steelBlock the downgrade block is rConcreteBlock. That won't help me if the intention is to change the xml tomorrow.

meganoth Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I clearly referenced MM's day 84 horde night video in my OP. There he got a decent amount of demolishers and they got into his base almost instantly because they have very high block melee damage. They'll break through your walls/doors/bars with only a few hits. In that video, they only did 500 block explosion damage. It got buffed after the video. If it was buffed before the video then MM's base would have been gone as several of them exploded inside his main room with all his crafting tables and storage. I'm eagerly awaiting A18 to find defenses against this new zombie. At the same time I'm hoping that my fears and concerns are misplaced but only time will tell when we can try it out ourselves. If I remember correctly they mostly just entered the base room by the door because MM was opening it again and again to shoot through. Also MM had a second room he could have retreated too. And we all know this base is rather underdeveloped for an end-game horde base, what does it tell us if it gets wrecked? By the way, it seems they have been constantly balancing the spawn probability of the demolisher, first there were ~8, then none, and now 1-2. Sure, it could just be random variation, but balancing is one of the reasons MM plays the game, so it's quite probable But it doesn't really matter who is right, the block damage of that zombie makes sure he will immediately have anyones attention whenever he turns up. But that is his purpose in life, he's is a designated "endboss", he isn't supposed to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDog1942 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Original Dawn of the Dead was the best zombie movie ever... the one set at the shopping mall. Its the one that got me thinking about how I would build MY base in a zombie outbreak. Now with this game I can actually build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Blocks destroy to air. If any do not do so, that will need to be a bug report as it was an oversight. Guys, there is too much worry about enemies like Demolishers. Thanks to Conventional Ralston many people who would've had an issue won't have an issue. Ok, so I misremembered. But I assume they upped the hitpoints of the blocks accordingly to not change the balance. Ralston is the hotel, unlimited stealth on horde night or an option for zombies not to dig? The base you suggested wouldn't be my style. This is something for someone who likes to defend himself with firearms. I also wonder how the players will do that, prefer the melee bases. Would you use a firearm to trigger the explosion? A melee base player will have to move temporarily when the demolisher is coming and deal with him before returning to melee. Or have more than one space from which to melee. Redundancy always helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gronk Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 So no one is watching "White Zombie" circa 1932. probably the first movie about zombies. Bela Lugosi? Never heard of her! :-) White zombie is officially the first movie with a zombie in. The first book with a zombie apocalypse is debatable though.
