I don't think the zombie dire wolf existed in A21. Do you speak of the old dire wolf perhaps?
The more I think about it, the more I think it's a missed opportunity to not use the biome smoothies for that purpose, because they're useless once you get the badge and that would give them a new purpose.
The new one is just an updated version of the old one. AFAIK, they didn't change the chance of it spawning after updating it to the new version of the dire wolf. But yes, dire wolves (originally just wolves with red eyes) have appeared at night in the forest for a long time. They are uncommon, but are possible. Also, there are a few POI that can spawn one, so if you run past a POI and trigger a spawn, you could end up with one just because of that.
They are the same. The new one is just a new image. Dire wolf has existed for several years now.
Yes, they have been changed more than just the image. They can jump higher and have more health and do more damage.
I know, that's what I meant by "the old dire wolf".
They also have an insane crit chance. I've never been hit in melee by one without getting an instant crit. Last time I was in full Raider heavy armour and it broke my leg with a single hit. Since then I have avoided melee with dire wolves...
Meds? Go for the rampage challenge. Perk into siphoning strikes and then try and survive an entire storm in the open just by killing things fast enough to offset the health loss.
Hopefully if they readd tempature or biome effects they effect you more then just damage like cold makes you hungry faster, heat makes you thirsty faster etc
Bears are even worst. One snuck up on me in the wasteland when I was trying to build a bunker (funny how a 800 pound bear is so sneaky) and he hit me once with capped mining armor and he broke My arm and leg.
In games like this I like weather for the take shelter moments and slows things down as you hunker down and try to survive.
No, that is why I said I would have to set it and see what breaks, because I fully expect some code to not use the width vs height correctly.Sounds interesting
Is there a standard ingame option to generate rectangular maps?
A 12x12 is 144 sq km, which is a lot of memory use and not even run on console. a 4x12 or 4x15 would be much more efficient.
Oh I agree. It's a ton of undead devil dog after all. It should hurt.
I dropped it to 300% as the forest was too gloomy, but I have since reduced forest storms and normal rain a bit too, so it will not be as bad. I have not played all week as I was trying to get work done. I tend to stop playing whenever I have a new idea I want to implement because I lose interest in the old way.@faatal, how did your 500% storm setting run go?
I was in the middle of a job when one rolled in the burnt forest. I thought, cool, I'll get indoors and finish the job for it's duration. Well little that I knew I was pretty much done with the job. It was the Huenink (sorry if misspelled) family farm.
The one where you climb up the silo to jump over through the roof in the barn for the final fight.
Well the roof is pretty messed up so no storm protection there. Had to draw the fight down below, then back up in the loft to loot in parts as to not take damage from the storm above.
Then had to wait what seemed like forever in place to wait out the storm!
I think that 500% storm tic would be a hair pulling curse fest! No thanks!
Speaking of forest storms, is the design dead set on them having no mechanical impact? I completely understand not having a damaging storm in the starter area, but a minor annoyance would both encourage building or using roofed shelters and get starting players used to the mechanic before they hit the harder biomes.
Think the solution is a much much lower amount of damage, like a trickle bleed, but a much much reduced range of vision; I mean like semi blinded 5m or so. This would keep the "get indoors" logic but mean you don't end up time locked to a location. Just musing on it.
