Then he was mistaken or you misunderstood since there has been a dog horde coded to appear anywhere from Day 2 to Day 5 depending on how fast you are increasing your gamestage since forever and I don’t see any change to the wandering hordes for A19.
Correction: Unless this has been changed in this most recent patch, regular wolves have a very rare chance of spawning during the day in the forest biome.
A landmine at the default level of play one shot kills. Even going in with primitive gear and reacting perfectly it is likely to kill you.
What diff are you referring to you can take down a zombie dog on on day 1 with a club? doesn't sound like nightmare speed or insane diff. Tier 1's get you geared to take on the rest of the world, if they have things your not equipped to take on your taking away from the point of your trader quests in the beginning.
Alrighty then. To close this off, do you know if it's hardcoded for them NOT to spawn on day 1, or can they spawn anytime?
Now you are getting the point!
It's a "50/50" situation we're talking about here. Yes, having mines spawn in T1 POI's, remnants included, would be sketchy because a lot of new players (from what I assume at least) start doing T1 quests before they are ready to "take on the rest of the world". However, there is no magical barrier blocks entry to other higher tier POI's until you're x gamestage, so a new player, or a new character even, could easily walk into a T3 POI, make their way through a couple rooms, and then die to a sneaky landmine trap.
I doubt it. They could spawn on Day 1 as easily as on Day 2 I imagine. If you stay in the protected zone where you spawn you should be safe. But the trip to the trader could include a rare encounter, sure.
Surely I am talking about default settings and difficulties, that is what has to be balanced for new players. If you decide to play on harder settings that is your own choice and I don't see a reason to complain about more difficult times when that is what you have set on purpose.
Yes, just like that. Now, if the dog immediately saw you and came after you, then there would be a problem there, yes. I'm pretty sure that particular dog spawn has it be as blind as a rhino and as deaf as a caterpillar though, so unless you provoke it, you should be able to just close the door and move onto another POI.
Exactly! We all died as brand new players and kept at it because of how great the game was.
but you don't want to cause its a tier 1, I already have skip poi's for the biker, not so far this playthough but the last.
Not directly related to your post above, but the construction site with the zombie bear spawn? Unless that's been changed, that's also a T1 POI.
That can be contain fairly easily though, he's already in a concrete pit, just set him off get out and don't use pipe bombs or he'll glitch out. If the dog was stuck in a service bay it would be equivalent. I had to alter the poi to make it the same.
Not arguing, just saying: taking on a zombie bear is way more difficult than taking on one zombie dog. I know because I just died to one, even with a full clip of 7.62 ammo from a yellow AK to the face. Not complaining (other than maybe said POI should be moved to T2 quest status, if it hasn't been already, but it's apples and oranges here.
