End-Game Thoughts after 10K hours of play...

[Lonestarcanuck]

Good Morning.

 

My thoughts after almost 10K hours in 7DTD., this applies to all levels of the game to MAX Difficulty:

 

1. once you get food under control - good garden you pretty much have won the game - this can be achieved between level 25-50 depending on when you get 3/3 in Living off the Land and 1 or 2 points in Chef or find the recipe for Veg Stew.

 

2. Ammo - again like food, eventually you will have endless Ammo, I find 3/5 in gunslinger with SMG and stacks of 9MM and you are set for the game - the odd DEMO can be a pain without 1 in Penetrator and AP ammo but I have 10K rounds of 9mm on me almost all the time and kits to fix.
 

3. 3/5 in Lucky Looter + Looting glasses (4 or 5 perk) and impact driver you can loot like crazy and get a lot of dukes fast.
 

IMO the game needs quest and task for those level 50+.
 

I have run many servers and play with many players who get to level 50-100 and drop off until a server is reset or they move on.
 

Doing "rinse and repeat" tier 5 quest become boring. you need multi-part questing and stages and task. Add quest that allow you to get parts to build epic items of some sort.

Hopefully bandits and bandit fortresses will be part of the end game formula.
