Sooo

 

With all the new vehicles will this be a reality? a mod? or a feature in 7 days to die II ?!

[mobile base]

 

Like many player bases are built in air/ underground/ on ground etc- most of them are good to go- just need to find - loot- 4 big wheels- build a 18V engine- hook it up with electricity and you have your "truck"- add fuel and you good to go! (physics means speed impacted by mass so it would not be fast but practical!)

The Duke is like Neagan and charges the traders for his "protection". So they pay him a big cut of profits and he doesn't murder them or take all their ♥♥♥♥. So while they are loyal to Noah at heart, they fear the Duke so they secretly MIGHT support Noah but pay the Duke. The player will decide to join one or the other and do quests to find Noah and exterminate him or join the White River and try to kill off the Duke and his Army. Both of them are probably right in their own minds, but the player can decide what is best for the future of Navezgane.

 

But no, we don't need to re-order where anything is. The duke doesn't have traders, he doesn't need them he just takes his cut by force if needed.

 

Hey! Thanks for answering my questions Madmole. Love how this game is coming together. :)

Aww, why was the behemoth removed? I was really looking forward to having something for the late game :(.

 

The new stuff looks cool and I was just coming to say how awesome it looked and now my mood is deflated.

I also think there needs to be a way to clear the loot people leave behind cause in my case nothing is trash and I'm basically getting twice the loot and only half the scavenging xp when stuff is left behind. just about everything in this game has a use and I take it all. so either have the loot container reset when new loot spawns or make it so no new loot will spawn until it has been empty for the full loot respawn time.

 

When you take the old loot out, the new loot should respawn. If not, it wasn't ready anyways. Think of it as extra loot!

Behemoth would've been royally retarded to work with, though Ziplines would've been nice.. why was it dropped? :x

 

MM said something to the effect that they didn't fall into the original goals of the game as much as other content does. So they're working on original commitments as opposed to new items like Behemoth and Zip lines.

Recent BM on my server: I was underground (-42), another person was swimming, and a buddy of mine had quickly outfitted a POI (having only recently joined the server). Until about 2:30, there were no zombies. When the swimming person decided to give up and made it back to land, each of us suddenly got a wave of zombies, at least 6-strong each.

 

Did the swimmer somehow glitch the game because it couldn't determine her location, so the game never sent zombies until that was completed?

The behemoth is battling with the Kracken. It just depends on who wins if we'll ever see the behemoth again. Whichever wins will floss its teeth with the ziplines....

 

...while riding on his Airship, bound for destinations that will soon become stories of legend! :)

 

Of course it might be a DLC which is very OK with me!

You can tell us the truce... the behemoth is to chase and stop a truck so it will be release after the truck release....

Rumour has it the reason we didn't see the behemoth come to fruition is because it actually IS the Duke.

 

The lore says that The Duke, just like a literal Big Brother*, was actually a sibling. He had long since turned thanks to an accident with a virus he was going to weaponize.

 

(*Reference to Orwell's 1984??)

 

He had only one other sibling that we are made aware of, a younger sister, since the 2nd child; a middle brother, was killed in a failed ambush of the White River Settlers who were relocating to the deep south from northern Navezgane.

 

The sister was to be the successor of the empire by order of The Duke '...in the event of...' what is only described as '...unfortunate circumstances.'

 

Post-exposure to the virus, The Duke requested to be shot if* and when he turned, being a man of honour and pride he couldnt face the shame of suicide. The younger sister however saw the suffering in The Duke's eyes as he threw himself around in pain during his pre-turn death throws. Unable to take such misery, she selfishly betrayed her brothers wishes and instead had him sedated.

 

(*Details of the accident are not given, and it is unclear how or to what extent The Duke came into contact with the virus.)

 

When he was unconscious she ordered the generals who sat at The Dukes side all through the events to have him bound in chains.

 

(What happened next, I think, leads to a conflict between the lore and the actual game.)

 

The Dukes sister had him bound with his feet set in concrete, rooted, in reinforced steel sarcophagus with a single small glass panel so she could look upon her brother.

 

For the love and respect of The Duke, and his wishes*, she couldnt kill him, and neither would she allow anyone else.

 

(*Though it is questionable that she actually respected his wishes since she betrayed his final request.)

 

Bad news comes, as I read, when The Dukes sister is out of the casino to address a potential alliance with a small north eastern faction who also recently lost their leader, though alliance for the younger sister likely means absorbption.

 

While away, an act of sabotage had taken place as one of the high ranking members (referred to as '...a subordinate to [his] Generals) unwittingly ended up giving his own life to break open the sarcophagus and damage the chains.

 

Thinking he had gotten away with it, he paid dearly. The Duke having turned, burst out of his binding and tore the man to pieces.

 

There is no mention of which faction, if any, this traitor/spy/defector belonged to. Some say he was White River, some say he was an Ash Jackal (??) But it's all speculation unless we are given details on the lore.

 

This retelling ended with only one thing. Upon hearing of the incident and returning to the casino, The Dukes sister found the basement half destroyed.

 

The Dukes corrupted flesh could still be seen in the holding block as two disembodied feet - so seeming whatever he had become had torn itself out of its own extremeties to be free.

 

Blood trailed from the holding room up the corridor leading to the main underground staircase, the trail running thin before eventually stopping.*

 

(*This leads me to think perhaps the regenerating zombies may have had the ability in this case to restore lost limbs? Genetically modified by one of The Dukes ex Higashi staff?)

 

This ends with the sister finding no body, only the side doors leading to a deck on the west wing of the upper second floor of the casino thrown open.

 

The only mention of The Dukes members and workers was that of those 14 footmen, 2 cooks and one runner, who were '... in a state of perpetual tremor, struck dumb, their faces hung as images of pure horror.'

 

They are reported as being unable to speak of what they had seen, or anything else.

 

Whether the young sister found her brother and administered a cure noone knows...

 

We will know if and when he appears, I suppose.

 

 

Any suggestions why the weaponized virus would enable regeneration? It seems conflicting to have your enemies able to reverse battle damage.

 

What do you guys think? Maybe The Duke changed his mind on what to do with the virus..

Instead of the behemoth, I would like to see some underground dweller like the Silverfish in Minecraft. they would come in swarms when you break rocks and show up randomly in underground dwellings.

Silverfish occasionally drop out of blocks a player is mining and attacks them.

I just finished watching the first season of The walking dead. I see a lot of similarity's between that TV series and this game.

 

Is this like a model that TFP's are trying to follow in making this game?

 

If memory serves the original concept was somewhere between TWD and Fallout.
