Aldranon Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Well I did 40 days and so far A19 is the best overall. The zombie AI during BM appears to be four different attack modes. 1) The A18 path directly to the player. 2) The "Duck and Weave mode". I believe this is to get the player to waste ammo on their dodging behavior while others attack the walls. 3) The "Hit here hit there mode". The zombie will hit once or twice and move to another location. Keeping the player off balance? 4) The A16 all in on one spot mode". Used when the AI thinks its found a weak spot? I noticed that mode #1 really kicks in at 3:30 am. I guess its a last Banzai charge attempt to kill off the player? This could also be because I picked a complex POI (The large Hardware store with the garden area on the right). Its fun however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this "no you can't" sound whenever I try to place one (anywhere) so I just thought you disabled LCBs in SP altogether. Is that so? 🤨 You're probably too close to a trader.

This could also be because I picked a complex POI (The large Hardware store with the garden area on the right). Its fun however! I believe you mean the A17 all in one spot mode, because A16 was the peak of bloodmoon interaction. Yes they did come from only one general direction, but they always tried to go through open entrances (1 gate compound base with scrapyard PoI as base, the most fun i've ever had in bloodmoons) and never focused on just 1 block, in the end, your traps worked and you could predict their movement (duh, you're a human, they're zombies). In alpha 17 i tried the same strategy (because i love making realistic bases to fight off zombies) this time with 2 gates instead of one, i used that one military poi with the garage and 2 buildings as the base. In the end, as soon as 1 concrete block got weaker than the rest, they all targeted THE SAME 2 blocks, which made everything i put around the base completely useless. A17 new AI definitely ruined bloodmoons for me, and A19 is still the same to be honest, that's why people make stupid @%$*#! unrealistic bloodmoon slaughterhouses instead of proper bases, it's the only reliable way to defend a place. The second being on the rooftop of a random PoI, breaking any connection to there and waiting the bloodmoon out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaron105 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Speaking of blood moons, can we get an option or something to not have the horde spawning end abruptly? Quite often its a few hours of spawning and then nothing for the rest of the night. It used to be all night if i recall correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be a feature, allow us to connect a USB to our belly button's and xfer data. My character is about 1 10th of my strength This might explain some players desire to have mining easier... for them it is IRL and we sometimes forget the struggle we felt learning it, growing our muscles, calluses, cardio ability, etc. The game tries to simulate this to reward players for investing but subconsciously us strong people are like WHAT I CAN LIFT THAT!!! THIS GAME IS BROKEN! lol. 1 hour ago, meganoth said: nerdpoling is used legitimately by crafters to build high structures. There were lots of discussions about this and solutions offered. Until now the best solution is still to allow nerpoling and accept the disadvantage Use some self control. This is why there are no longer t4 and 5 "fetch" quests because it was way too easy to nerd pole/ladder to the loot area and win with little risk or time invested. It is fun the first time or two, then you feel like a cheating scumbag. Even if we removed scaffolds, frames, and even ladders you could still make stairs up there, jump out of the gyro, etc. There is literally no way to stop people from getting to those places. The less police work we have to do and the more freedom players have to think through situations in a variety of ways the better IMO. 34 minutes ago, Jost Amman said: @madmole Since you're already talking about LCB, I've got a question... is it normal that in A19 single player I can't place a LCB anymore?

You can get 303 skill points which lets you max out pretty much everything and can rearrange your points at any time with the trader potion. It's just an issue with players who want to max out all the perks NOW. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhinoW Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Also i have a question, where can I write down some feedback on alpha 19? Is it here? Or is there going to be a tab for when it eventually goes out of experimental? I got some notepads waiting to be unchained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found the maps pretty funky myself, world generators I find interesting and although the roads do go wiggly giggly at times I just tell myself there been earth quakes and land slides etc. fits into the narrative then for me.

Phoenixshade35 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hey @madmole i have a thought for a book series in the game, what if we made a book that helped to improve the stacks of ammo we can carry with a description like..... Surviving in the apocolypse has taught me much, including how to better pack your ammo, now you can carry 25% more of .... ammo, could also be used for other types of items as well, what do you think?

XCOUNTRY Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Anyone find a lootable Fir tree in Navezgane? It was a fir tree next to Trader Jen at 560 61 480 . All it gave me was 7 feathers. Thought it was weird and took a snapshot of the tree with the loot icon, but the "loot container" dialogue is absent in the photo for some reason, so I won't include it.

Nobody likes stealth, literally nobody, and you're desperate to pretend it belongs. Stealth means nothing, when you have scripted zombies falling through ceilings, immediately detecting you regardless of your "stealth". I like Stealth and I use it to lower the damage I take. I say this as a STR/FORT player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In A19 POI distribute looks better and forest biome centralized to help new players and what I assume is a synergy with the new trader to trader quests...

Yeah I love A19's POI placement, I'm just talking about roads and huge cliffs in the middle of them, I'll post a couple screenshots when I get home from work to show what I mean.

My brother made me a tuna gravy toast yesterday and was surprised the food replenishment was 90. I can see how much you unlocking those, the hunger issue goes away pretty quickly. I like how as a player there is an urgency to make better foods or reach the whining stage...Sounds like what most people would do in an actual apocalypse LOL.... "What do you mean i can't go to the grocery store on the corner and get all the food I need?" Wait til you see the spaghetti one...122 food!!!
