madmole Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I am seeing feral zombies by Day 2 on Scavenger difficulty. Is this intended?? Yes, there is a rare chance they spawn at night, so stay indoors and don't travel at night so they don't spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkindrublic Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They seem to be in full effect just had 3 my first night. With this plus the rage mechanic the game certainly won't be easy anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mostly weak class feral zombies not bikers or anything, I always keep a gun with some ammo in case things get too nasty. They aren't any tougher than a snowman at night.

They aren't any tougher than a snowman at night. I'm definitely not complaining. It keeps you on your toes and challenging content is far more exciting. The death penalty is far more forgiving now so I dont see any harm in forcing the player to play it safer early on or to risk getting chewed on by a feral.

Ornias Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Agreed with the tension angle. Night raiding had become way too easy early game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhaaltazar Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I got a nice surprise with a visit during the 2nd night. I went out to see what zombie is causing the ruckus, walking over trash and stuff... Imagine the surprise with 4 dogs come running around the corner and into the upstairs room campsite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I've reverted to having a healthy fear of the night again. It's nice, but maybe not great for my blood pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katitof Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 On my new game on A17 last year, first POI ever I visited had feral, fun times, fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramethzer0 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 We got a feral moe on night 1, and it wrecked my entire group. We were so not prepared for this level of blood pumping rad. I love lil surprises like this. I was like.. "that thing has glowing eyes... oh #@$^ its a feral! HALP!" a two to three minute battle ensues while we try to zerg this thing with our primitive bows and spears. It is ridiculous to fight in the dark, especially in the 10 minute stretch where there's absolutely zero visibility. BTW, the zombie dog growls are the best..

Pizzalicious Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I am seeing feral zombies by Day 2 on Scavenger difficulty. Is this intended?? I had a feral nurse after Day 2 into Day 3 morning on Warrior setting. She promptly ate the pizza and not in a good way This was after daybreak at 0400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlight Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hmmm. This is the first alpha where I am confidently going out at night to do stuff. There's so few zombies in the world in general it's pretty safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grieferbastard Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Nights are a thing now. If someone isn't running into them at night, well, I don't know. I certainly am. Enough so that I don't go out at night unless it's to teardown an already cleared and blocked off area of a POI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quyxkh Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Yes, there is a rare chance they spawn at night, so stay indoors and don't travel at night so they don't spawn. I just got kilt by a feral wolf on day 1, it showed up at the tag end of a POI fight, I popped it with a bowshot never thinking "maybe this isn't all that great an idea" and my last vision as the blackness poured on to the screen was its glowing eyes staring in to mine.. This is on nomad though, I've been adapting to the combat changes, I wish early combat wimpiness meant more of more stamina use and less of less damage, a full crack to the head with a club that size should do some serious frikken damage even if you're not all that strong.

CatsArtist Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Yes, there is a rare chance they spawn at night, so stay indoors and don't travel at night so they don't spawn. Thank you for the reply, Joel. I have seen at least a half a dozen in the first week, and it was daytime, actually. Took quite a bit of effort at that level, but still managed it. My first death was on Day 10 after getting infected. I looked around, but to no avail. Even a trip to the hospital in Diersville did not yield an antibiotics! I hope they can still be found at Pop 'n Pills. I was a bit surprised by that. 100% infection did my character in. The new infection system is quite intriguing and has good realism. Also, every workstation I've found out in the world so far have been destroyed. Can they still be found functional? Thanks for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quyxkh Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Never heard of it. Is that the name? It wasn't a dire wolf? Perhaps it was a feral pettifogging attention whore. I wouldn't know the name the game engine uses for it because I'm too lazy to read the zombie labels. I called it feral because of the glowing eyes.

tricorius Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I just got kilt by a feral wolf on day 1,. I got my rear end handed to me by a boar. A boar! A18 has definitely made me more cautious again. Day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyris Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Yes, there is a rare chance they spawn at night, so stay indoors and don't travel at night so they don't spawn. I had a feral in a poi on day 1 during the day when I looted it. Warrior Diffculty, I killed it, but man it scared the crap out of me lol good times. Was in the loot room, so probally guarding the goods. Sad thing was the loot in that poi ended up sucking, rng screwed me there XD. - - - Updated - - - I got my rear end handed to me by a boar. A boar! A18 has definitely made me more cautious again. Day and night. Yeah do NOT mess with boars unless you got a gun, trust me on this, they are nasty mofos in a18. Don't even try to melee one early game you'll regret it, same for using a bow, just don't, use a gun, any gun, well any except shotgun as if any pellets spill over its hp total it'll damage the body meaning less resources.

Juliet_Capulet Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 On night 1, I took cover in a small hut to recover health after getting my face pecked off by vultures. Husband was outside gathering resources, and a zombie cop started barfing all over him...sent him back to his bedroll pretty quick lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
