DEADication Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 When I hear a screamer, I don't kill her immediatly, but antagonise her so that she screams a few times first, coz.... zombies are xp. I haven't had a screamer in b233 yet though, but I'm trying...run the forge and campfire maniacly with dozens of torches but no screamers... day 8. Where are you baby?

JDStrawesome Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If I'm building, I will kill a screamer and deal with the summoned horde quickly, because lately in A17, there seems to be an out of control feedback loop. Screamers will summon more screamers who summon more screamers, and next thing you know, and endless stream of zombies is just dismantling all your hard work in seconds. But yeah. If I'm idle and itching for some action, I'll get out in the mix of things and do some levelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think they broke screamers or something. Even if I see one they don't summon a horde when they scream *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I see one they don't summon a horde when they scream *shrug* It was working for me pre b231, but I haven't seen one since. Hmm.. wonder if i can put that one screamer in a cage of some sort. Hell yeah, I like the way you think. BTW, The Zombies have been inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame...... about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldranon Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Noobs! Try starting 25 campfires and placing 20 torches around them. Screamer Farming right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADication Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 25 campfires coming right up,... wait... that's 200 stone plus who knows how much wood. Guess I've a lot of harvesting to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I PRAY for the loop to happen. Free XP!! Had a loop of about a dozen a few night ago, it was awesome. p.s. dear Devs, Screamers need a fairly large HP boost right now. They more or less insta-die to Iron Spikes, making it hard to get the mini-horde snowball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDStrawesome Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I wasn't suggesting the feedback loop was broken, just that it can get out of control if you let it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple screamers come by when playing B233 last night, but they never summoned a horde after they screamed. I didn't notice them for a bit since my base was built on top of the bank and they were wandering around on the inside confused for a bit before I dropped down to dispatch.

In MP with 4 of us living in close proximity with around 5 torches each and 1 campfire each we have been getting screamers starting on day 2-4ish. Easy levels, unless we don't have guns yet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reth Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've done chain screamers great many times in A16, haven't tried it in A17 yet. It's a great way to improve your head bashing skills. It kinda bothers me though - we are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, fighting for our survival, and yet the best way to survive is to summon some more zombies.

Frotus Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 i used to let screamers scream even in older alphas, for fun. Screamer brought friends this time, I guess maybe there is a chance to summon friends when they scream now? Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStar Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I used to farm these for items in A16. Now I farm these in A17 for exp or just fun. They don't scream as easily ... well... unless you walk up to them and whack them a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenpaiThatIngnoresYou Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I think they broke screamers or something. Even if I see one they don't summon a horde when they scream *shrug* Broke, or made better? I like the crazy loop. Sure it can be a nuisance, but at the same time you should not be trying to attract zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty incredible. I was just watching his latest restart and he was farming screamers until he had like 10 screamers at once. He must have had 70-80 z's on the screen at one time. The most damage he took was from walking over a few cacti while doing the slaying. I think he got close to 10 lvls that half day farming session. Once he gets to late game is where he truly shines tho. Some of the most amazing builds I've even seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One suggestion, however.... if you're running on an older comp maybe turn down some settings first. Just a thought. A couple less FPS doesn't seem like much till you've got 50+ zeds to deal with and some dogs show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
