Star69 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I’m wondering if you put a block in a doorway, place junk sledge on the block. Then you could use your club while the sledge does its thing for zombies trying to come through the door. If you get a group of zombies, that setup just might be ideal. It’s going to be fun trying to discover the best ways to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you put your junk turret directly in front of / behind your door, the zombies will just tear out the wall instead because they will consider the door inaccessible. Now, that raises the question of what would happen if you built your entire base out of junk turrets or lined the walls with a row of junk turrets, but they'd probably find the support holding the whole thing up or dig down or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake_ Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The combat music gets old relatively quickly. Our brain doesn't process the tiny details of variance in it and instead sticks with the sci fi techno electro tune that rules that particular track, eventually resulting in annoyance. The same happens with ambient music, but that doesn't stress the player and I found myself longing for it even at 80% . My point being : 7 days to die needs more battle tracks with different lead tunes. Also, 1 ambient track per biome mixed with the actual tracks would be awesome too. Tracks for city, country side and so on wouldn't hurt either. Edit: And a couple of beers and a pimp hat if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably just going to turn off music when raiding POI's (I'm listening for the zombies anyway) and during horde nights, when the combat music will be playing the most. I enjoy the rest of the music however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ON OR OFF you want to have music for the background but don't want Combat music? Sure Want No background music but want combat music? Sure! WANT NO MUSIC? SURE!!!!! but maybe that will be a thing for A.19.1 2 or 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodmoth13 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 are there 3 tiers of stun batons now? or is it still the only melee weapon with no t3 option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, 1 tier only which is why I don't like the "Junk Sledge is only a T1!!!" defense. Stun Baton and Junk Sledge are basically outside the tier types as they are only melee weapons Int even has and both fill unrelated niches from the other weapons in the tree and from each other. I think a lot of confusion comes even on the dev side from the different terminology and fact that there aren't three tiers, there are four, but a lot of weapons are missing their 4th tier. So some are saying "Junk Sledge is only a Stone Sledge" when it's not, it's a Iron Sledge equivalent and doesn't spawn until Iron Sledges and iron weapons do. So it's being balanced against Tier 0 weapons like the Wooden Club and Stone Sledge when it's not a tier 0 weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I've always been pretty critical of this game and haven't played since A17. I finally gave A18 a whirl, and damn, what an improvement. It really brings back the feeling of being able to play the way you want to play, but also balances it with some firm but fair level gating. I don't know what's in store for A19, but I'm pretty optimistic after seeing the massive improvement A18 brought. I never thought this game would come as far as it has, but this is pretty amazing. Much respect to the devs for sticking with this project for so long. I think I can see myself as one of those fanboys now. At this point I would be happy if 7D never left alpha and continued improving until I'm dead. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CholulaSouls Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 hey Madmole or any other dev, how do you guys feel about steam workshop support for custom prefabs and POIS? We could make our own prefabs and share it with anybody who wanted to use it without pesky modding tools like Vortex/NMM Do you see that ever being implemented? If so how would it work?

They said on several occasions during the dev streams, that they will do Steam workshop support, and SDK etc., once the game is done. Alpha development changes too many things too frequently to do this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this will ever be returned to its previous, sane state. No time to fix yet. It is also a two way street, since player melee ranges are also too long.

True, but that is 100% and the change log was referring to deleting back packs from the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it in a garbage dumpster with a ramp and floating quarter block. After watching faatals bit on the devs stream I thought that he said that half would path and half would attack. It seemed too easy anyway. I was talking about ramp jump loops. He made a ramp path to himself. There was no jump gap, so the zombies just took the path.

They can't do the loop! I'm also pretty sure I'm hated at this point cause my views don't equal fun which seems to be the main goal now. If you look at my previous posts I am a fan of permadeath and am pretty much a 7 days to die masochist which is not your main focus and crowd and I know you really don't have to answer this. Also everything I say is because I want this to be better and actually for 'everybody.' Is there a chance they will ever act less like 'that' and more like they acted in earlier versions. I hate to say it but they acted more liked Zeds in A16 or before, even when they were running in circles. They are lining up for the kill shot, its fish in a barrel. I'd rather see them throwing there soulless corpses into my end game meat grinder and attacking everything before I can trick them into jumping into it then the state they are in now.

The only reason you would be hated is because you are trying to tell people how to play. Why do you care how other people play. If you don't want to play that way, good for you. Don't try to shove your play style down other people's throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
