ROFL!!!

Agree with you and the video is sums up what I think too. Carrot vs stick, reward vs punishment, risk vs reward. My likes: I love the new POI's, but this is pretty much all I love about A17. My dislikes: Forced difficulty, if you don't die - the gamestage gets harder! There should be a...

Some really good responses here now and very interesting reading :D I guess I have finally managed to explain myself better lol!! I totally agree, a days alive buff, or better loot drops from our DID boosted gamestage zombies, or get rid of the "days alive" part of the gamestage formula, or...

DID and not dying are one and the same surely? I really don't see what you mean here? Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it: gamestage = (your level + days alive) x difficulty setting multiplier ? So if this is true, then yes, you are penalised with a harder experience for staying alive are...

No, my main issue was the fact that not dying makes the gamestage higher than someone who plays with "infinite lives", so what incentive is there to stay alive? Infinite lives: only penalty is a short debuff, but they get easier BM hordes. DID (or not dying) get: no reward, only risk, and the...

Sadly, I am not a big fan of editing the game. In the finished builds I will sometimes add mods eventually, but especially in experimental I prefer to keep it vanilla. I will just keep my fingers crossed that the devs will give some love to the dead-is-dead gameplay style eventually. Its a step...

LMAO its nothing to do with ego. In fact as a female gamer my ego is fairly small actually ;) I am not a COD style gamer with a huge ego, and I didn't buy this game 4 years ago to play it in a COD style, as that is not my thing and never has been. In fact I think its very sad if this game is...

Yes, thats exactly my point. If you die you get easier hordes :/ If you don't die in your game, the hordes are much harder. I like playing dead-is-dead and resent having to turn options down to easy when I have been playing this game in a dead-is-dead gamestyle for over 4 years :(

No, Its just a personal choice, the game played (usually) at normal settings, but if you die, its game over - you turn it off and start again from scratch at day 1. It gives you a real sense of survival and a real sense of achievement. I never felt that survival games should allow death and...

Video - (showing no game deaths in your scoreboard) or it didn't happen ;)

I did say I have tried it on Normal and easy and the one inbetween, and zombies not running etc etc. :( But I don't like turning settings down from the standard settings the devs decided would be "normal". I have played this game long enough to resent turning it down to easy when the...

This is nothing about hardcore, but about "realism" or as much as you can get in a zombie game (!) I play dead-is-dead, not super hardcore settings. This WAS on normal, and the next one down and the easiest!!!! I am not asking for it to be easier, just less punishment for the dead-is-dead...

Playing dead-is-dead seems to have huge penalties in the current state of the game. Yes, I know this is Alpha and know its experimental, but I felt I needed to say something about this from a dead-is-dead gamer perspective. I keep reading about people crying that the horde night is too easy...

Now THATS what I'm talking about!! :D This would be a far better incentive for people to stay alive and not use death as a way to cheese the game :)

Yes, and its marketed as a SURVIVAL game so I think they also want us to survive!! There should be a bonus/buff/reward for survival (for dead-is-dead) and a penalty for death.
