Guppycur Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Well if bullets actually were a challenge to get, AND if they were actually effective as they should be, then they'd always (rightfully) be the pinnacle of loot and something you always strived for. ... unfortunately I can perk up in knuckles and punch my way through the challenges.

And not associated with them. Some person join to a custom server with extraordinary settings and have some problems. And what? Is it time to remove the multiplayer? According to your logic, this should be done to avoid such complaints If your PC doesn't allow you to comfortably play on ultra settings, you just don't turn them on instead of turning them on and complaining about low fps, right? 1. i mean people have stupid idea. 2.

Just because 20 years ago a game messed up their enemy AI and made them able to headshot players from any distance that urban legend is brought up as if it was inevitable. "intelligent" bandit does not mean they will automatically be invincible. Einstein with an AK probably would still have been a push-over. 😉 Bandits can be balanced whatever their AI abilities are. Even if they get the ability to loot player storage chests there are hundreds of possibilities to balance that and hundreds of possibilities for the player to make his storage chests safe. It is not urban legend - THEY HUNGRY cop zombie ( pistol zombie), sniper elite (at least 1 2 3 4 ) even smg soldiers, so this situation sometime happens. Well if this would give them ability too loot only probablity would be making traps + turrets. So nah thanks - cod pentagon thief, nioh goblins are annoing enough.

Spawning further comments by people that the game is x years in development and should be finished ASAP. Cue in others protesting that they want the game to stay in alpha for all eternity. And somewhere in there Matt115 will be telling us about some game that did it differently. 😁 Okay maybe i'm too negative about that. Just i see how techland "fixed" DL1 problems in "DL2" i'm more disapointed that i expected. So if something is not broken don't fixed. Now 7dtd is good game. Bandits were promised in kickstarter so - ok i understand so i don't complain that Devs will add them. I just don't want 7dtd became another " it was fun game but one change make this game more frustrating that funny". At least i'm doing something diffrent that just complaining. At least better to do against something if you think that is bad idea that do nothing and writing " this game sucks!!!!" like some people doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's why the simple solutions are the best xd Is "THEY HUNGRY cop zombie" refering to the cop in 7D2D? Since his damage is small he can hit 100% and it doesn't matter Sniper Elite is a "stealthing sniping" game (or whatever else you want to call that genre), in that genre you are supposed to be as good as dead if you are detected. So I assume this isn't a balance/AI problem but fully intentional. The urban legend is about a game where they made the AI **unintentionally** too good at shooting 2 hours ago, meilodasreh said: Getting too many weapons too early from looting bandits wouldn't be such a problem, or could be avoided by -making weapons degrading/break faster -reverting to "weapon parts needed to repair a weapon of that type" (which was the case once iirc) So you would have to scrap a lot of guns to keep your best one in good shape...feels logic to me. -and of course early on they may/should be a challenge to deal with, so you wouldn't be able to just go out there and kill them...I mean...they have a gun, and you have...a stick. So you would have to consider if you take the chance or better avoid him. Ammo balance is always a tricky one, so I would go with the idea that at least the early "low level" bandits only have half broken guns with just the ammo inside the mag. Later/higher tier bandits could have better guns in better shape and more ammo with them...again sounds logic, doesn't it? I don't think that is a problem at all. Just give bandits the same weapons you are supposed to find in loot anyway. Since we have pipe weapons now they could even turn up in the first few days. I don't think bandits will appear in a similar frequency than zombies. This is a zombie survival game, bandits will be the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jost Amman Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 What interests me most about bandits is how Stealth will be implemented. How successful will we be at hiding from bandits and (eventually) ambushing them? Will bandits also use stealth? That would be also interesting since it would add an entirely new layer of danger to them. If n.2 will be implemented, will bandits be able to hide from zombies avoiding conflict? Just some food for thought here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevergrey Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Regarding bandit stealth I see two solutions: Thief-like stealth. I doubt this can be realized by the AI since human player movements are rather unpredictable. The other option would be Predator-like stealth: bandits become invisible for a short period of time. Interesting.... Or they just spawn behind the player. Then we have enemy spawning like in Doom 3? Please no! Stealth for players? Apart from just critical hits? I don't see the environment for this. At least not in the outside areas. I reckon that this could work for indoor patrols. But is it possible to create patrol routes on random maps? Before things get way too complicated (and buggy), please let bandits just be 'Zombies with guns'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telly G Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I for one hope that the Pimps don't get bogged down in spending hundreds if not thousands of dev hours trying to clamp down on niche base designs only youtubers really utilize. Again. It's a pointless arms race that the players will always quickly figure out a way around and they keep doing it since like version 14 onwards. The very nature of the game being a highly configurable building game allows for some ridiculous base designs. Personally I think that the answer would be more types of boss and miniboss zombies (vomit cops and spiders count as minibosses in this metric). Get wild with it to actually keep us on our toes rather than endlessly tweaking pathing. I have more than a few ideas... Make the giant vultures that show up during horde be able to grab you and if you don't take it out, lift you up to carry you up. If you don't kill them they'll cause more problems like summon more vultures or drop zombies on top of your base, including boss types. In fact, I'd prefer them to favor the boss zombies to make them a real persistent threat during the blood moon than little more than an annoyance. (boss) A slow-moving high-health 'infiltrator' type that will walk normally until it gets close enough to activate it's ability and go through your defenses, entering your base. (boss) An EMP zombie that turns off electrical devices in an AOE for X amount of time. Deactivates switches, turns off generators, so on. Can shock you if you're too close when it uses it's ability. (miniboss) A zombie covered/impaled in metal spikes that is more hard to defeat with melee but has a very weak exposed head. Chance to get bleeding when striking it, higher bleed chance when it strikes you. (miniboss) Extremely heavily armored zombie that is more hard to defeat with ranged but has very weak exposed head. think bomb suit with missing/damaged helmet (miniboss) Highly Infectious zombie that is all but guaranteed to do lots of infection damage to you if you let it attack you. Give you real reason to stockpile all of that medicine. (miniboss) Zombie bandits. They are clutching onto the weapon they had in life, or it's at least tied to their hand, which they use to club you with. Slightly longer melee reach than other zombies. I'm sure I can think of more that can work for 7dtd but I dont want to make this too long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandits are not "easy" to develop in the context of this game. Over the past several alphas our NPC team has put many hundreds, if not thousands of development hours into extending the existing NPC and zombie code, leveraging already built systems like factions, buffs, cvars etc. We extended the EAI "AI" used by zombies, but found that while efficient, was limited in how much we could extend it for humanlike behavior without issues. This forced us to extend some abandoned UAI code that permitted NPCs to make real-time (several times per second) choices of behavior based on the current situation. This works well, but there is a performance hit, and I expect TFP to focus on relatively "dumb" AI bandits based on EAI at first so there isn't a major performance impact on the game when more than a dozen operate in an area. Our NPC modding team will reuse whatever TFP bandit code base they provide in A21, and likely we will continue to focus on smarter versions using UAI. When i see how stalker modders make AI i hope Devs will make it simple as it can be. Just fighting againts everything except animals and take cover if bandits have range weapon and that's all. Makeing human npc in zombie game is just bad idea. So making them as simple as possible is the best thing cit can be done Edited March 30, 2022 by Matt115 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only easy if you see the bandits before they see you. And then it is a natural advantage you would expect only a stealth player ca n pull off most of the time. And it only makes the game too easy if a bandit camp can't cope with the 3-4 roaming zombies you could lure into such a camp. In my opinion this is one of the ways bandits actually ADD something to the game. As ranged zombies they don't much add to what the cop already does, but as an additional faction that can be used in intelligent ways against zombies and vice versa they provide a new and fun option for the player. 4 minutes ago, Nevergrey said: What would you do with bandits in horde nights?

Bandit camps will probably be static affairs just there to conquer them, though I would guess if they are in range to see you I would expect them to shoot at you all day long.

It was more a counterpart to the super heavy armored save it's head one where it's armor is 'thorns' so you're want to shoot it, focus on a headshot due to it's fragile head, or even use a spear, that could maybe be excempt from the thorns effect.
