If the range gets much shorter, and if the zombies range is not decreased a lot, I would have to go back to only using ranged in multiplayer. A while back there was just no way to melee without getting hit a lot in my multiplayer games, which is why I started liking the blunderbuss. The main point would be to decrease the zombies hit range a good amount. Decreasing the player's range say 10% or 20% is not going to gimp you if the zombie's was 25% less. There are incremental changes to reach a balance. 14 hours ago, SnowDog1942 said: Any hints on what we can expect in the .1 and .2 patches for A19? Only reason I ask is that I still may hold off on starting a game for a bit if the .2 patch as a semi big feature like the junk drone or a big balance change. I am in no rush, I don't care... I just would rather start a real game when the big things are more set in stone. Like if the .X patches will just be various small bug fixes and optimizations (which im fine with) I'll start a new game up today. Sooner than later??? Today I fixed the bug I hated most in the game! I like 2m high "jump" ladders and this would get me quite often. Fixed player jumping to a ladder block after having used a ladder would not attach unless jump was still pressed after entering the ladder block (and then have to release jump before you fell out of block). These are nice too: Fixed player or AI moving down from air to a ladder would fall 1m. Fixed player moving down to ground while in a ladder block would keep you attached (slow). Added player side stepping while on ladders. Increased player horizontal move speed on ladders and running boosts.

Tmodloader 45 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) The new melee range feels a lot better than previously while crits make the game significantly harder. Really great work. Seeing a visual bug where sometimes blocks don't change visually when upgraded and sometimes bushes don't disappear when picked, ect. Not sure if I can send logs or something Edited August 21, 2020 by Tmodloader (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
Tmodloader 45 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Seems like overall this update is no big flashy changes but many subtle things and a heavy increase in survival elements that make the character's diet seem relatively more realistic and immersive. All of the changes so far I'd say are for the better. Edited August 21, 2020 by Tmodloader (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenixshade35 99 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 in some senses i wish there was a perk that could increase your attack speed with the sledgehammer, but as a result you do not hit as hard with it Link to post Share on other sites

In A18, there were only 3 POIs that spawned for T5 quests. Were the other POIs that existed all added to RWG? I believe there were 2 towers and a hospital? Were any others added? This is actually one of the big questions for my group. We're really hoping for some more variety in the T5 quest POIs. I tried out about 8 maps for A19 so far, NEVER had that Higashi Tower spawned. Either the chances are reaaaally low, or its bugged. I mean they said all would be spawned before the first prefab gets a second placement if i understood correctly but i saw plently of smaller prefabs spawned allready multiple times (still a lot of improvement, ca 1 per town, never duplicate in the same city) 1 hour ago, MechanicalLens said: I wish there was a perk that allowed you to dual wield sledgehammers, but alas, these are both pipe dreams.

STyK_ 66 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 So did you guys do something to directional sound in the update before last and its still not fixed? I could hear where things were happening last update or before it had direction, now I can't, I can hear something is happening but where I can't tell. Not like before. I was thinking is was just me for a while but after my last horde night it feels like something is up. If this has been brought up sorry, I haven't been watching the forum. If not it will at least eliminate a possibility, could be a something got changed in a windows update. Something feels off though. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it has pretty good range... a little short of the spear. I have seen a tier 5 steel sledge with 122 power attack damage, so yeah, it has a lot of damage, and its perk line does knockdown to the person you hit and can also knockdown those near your target. That reminds me, how hard would it be to have attack range listed on melee weapons? Not super important, but would be cool to see. Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw_187 80 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have a quality 4 iron ax with the serrated blade & the structural brace mod and this SOB carves the Z's up!! Supposedly it's not meant to be a weapon but dayumn!! I got rid of my spear & just double use it for killing & for wood. Love it!! Weird though it only has 2 mod slots on it. I could swear it had more before but maybe I'm wrong. 🤷 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if I can send logs or something Sadly I still think the crits don't happen nearly often enough. Granted, I don't get hit that often, but my friends do and we have yet to face anything else than one single concussion, in about 35 hours of playtime. It's almost a non-feature for us.
