So what if there were Black Bears, Brown Bears (what's in game) & Polar Bears. Maybe even Cubs. Green Forest mostly Black Bears. Roughly half the size of Brown Bears. Could ramp difficulty with 'mother and her cubs', or mix in more Browns. Snow would get Polar bears of course. Wasteland has Zombie bears. Possibly Zombie Black bears for Burnt Forest, and maybe a lighter pelt on those for the Desert? "Blonde" Black bears are a real thing and that'd let them blend into the desert, similar to the Cougar. Just thinking that, maybe, this wouldn't be weeks of work, and it would seem to support the future intent of making the tougher biomes tougher, and add some variance to animal dangers. Edit: having smaller Black bears (or cubs) might mean they could fit through normal doors, so would increase their danger lvl, even if they might have less HPs. I love it when realism trumps feature requests. Uh no Arizona does not have polar bears, and computers do not have 100 gig video cards yet so we can't add stuff forever. We're lucky to have what we have, and we're not getting any new animals except maybe a dire wolf model. Link to post Share on other sites

I fixed those today actually. 4 minutes ago, Laynie said: We dropped a molotov through it, but it was hit and miss lol. You need good aim. Toban is going to try the nades now... Nades should work just fine. What I hate is how bouncy they are off of flesh sometimes they deflect off the zombie by a large margin and you waste the grenade, so the impact grenades are probably best.

LMAO we caught it on video, I wish it hadnt been an accident 😛 🔥😈 I had 4 or 6 and he had 20. I dropped my first one and set us both on fire lol. When the horde night was over i decided to try kill him... I dropped all my Mol's and he first aid kitted himself like a chicken 😛 Then he got me with his 20.

We're lucky to have what we have, and we're not getting any new animals except maybe a dire wolf model. Okay. I didn't realize that scaling a model to two distinct sizes resulted in them being two completely seperate entities as far as the memory useage went. Or that fur color would do the same. And yep, no Polar Bears in Arizona other than maybe a zoo or two. According to Arizona Game & Fish Departments site only black bears are found in AZ. https://www.azgfd.com/wildlife/livingwith/bears/ " Fur color varies, including black, brown, cinnamon, and dark blond Weighs 125-400 pounds with males being larger than females 3 to 3 ½ feet tall when on all four feet 4 ½ to 6 ¼ feet long " I get that with only two models (z, not-z) in-game bears need to be much larger than this, for gameplay. And I honestly didn't think scaling or coloring a model essentially meant a full new model. I thought it would be much cheaper memory wise. And having a polar bear would be on the gameplay side vs. reality. Link to post Share on other sites

Da heck you talking about? did you get it today? Also! @madmole i was wondering How the "pipe rifle" would work! Sense it a Tier 0 weapon my question is about ammo! not the bullets but the Mag/Clip! would it have more ammo then a hunting Rifle? or would it have more! because that would seam odd that a Makeshift Rifle would have a higher ammo count then a Old Hunting rifle.

I'm not seeing the issues the same as you, i dont mind the changes they have brought and i only started on a15, finding the loot is not that big of an issue, i just keep killing and clearing, raise my lucky looter and see what happens, i usually find a toilet pistol by day 3, usually when i take the time and break into a gun safe i get enough parts i could end up crafting a better gun than i find, all this negativity is not going to help matters at all and they are working towards their original vision which i cannot wait to see come to light, i also wanna be one of the first to play the next game they decide to start, this is a company that does listen, but each post you have made for the most part is so negative, why?

If you loved 18.2 you can go back and play it, you don't have to deal with the new changes at all. Simply right click the game in your steam library, just like you are going to Opt into the Beta. Make sure you have auto update turned off. Then go to the Beta tab, and select 18.2 from the drop down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
