I wanna be clear here, I don't mind the difficulty but I have over 4k hours in the game and can get myself out of most trouble I get myself into. I don't see the difficulty itself as an issue, it's how fast the difficulty ramps up that concerns me, especially for new players. I haven't played on...

I know it's not popular but I sincerely hope bandits never come. Just getting that out of the way.  To the question, they had to set priorities. Implementing a full bandit system isn't as easy as just slapping the zombie AI on top of a new human model and slightly tweaking it. The AI needs to...

Why were you looking to make them spawn closer? Are they getting caught in buildings, are ya just having too much downtime between waves, something like that? 

I'm sure there will be some adjustment but I like the mix and match nature of it right now. I hope they avoid the standard boring route of needing to have the set bonus or you might as well not be wearing armor. 

Given the direction of the game, I've finally embraced the book system. Still not a huge fan but I get it and have mostly stopped swearing under my breathe about it.  But, the progression path for farming feels backwards. Seeds aren't that hard to figure out. Natives were planting corn before...

Why not just map coordinates and building names? "There's a bag we lost in Crack a book, good luck." You might find it fun digging for 36 hours in game but a lot of us who did the old treasure maps have a story about the time we dug for days on the side of a hill. It wasn't fun or an engaging...

For average players, sure but not new players. Most games I've played with difficulty settings will tell you normal difficulty is for those with experience with the game or games like it and recommend new players start at a lower setting.  Even with 2000+ hours in when it began, Alpha 18 was...

A friend and I play this game a lot and I saw something tonight during the blood moon I've never seen before. I had a generator hooked up to a switch that was hooked up to a relay hooked up to a trap. The generator, switch, relay, and trap were all intact but the connection between the switch...

There's something cute about someone who complains about cheats and cheese when they admit to using an actual exploit like hatch elevators. I have no issue with the turrets or using pathing to wrangle zombies so I can kill them on horde night or any other night. Jumping on your bike during the...

We use this. We use it in a 4 player game and I've built it in single player too. We eventually upgrade all the floors and walls to steel. It can get a bit hectic on horde night in a solo game so I just leave the dart traps on but in multiplay one person mans the electric trap repairs and the...

Not that anyone asked but just gonna add my opinion to this thread. I'm not a big fan of A18. Part of it is Too Much Of A Good Thing syndrome. I loved when the dungeon POI were introduced and I was excited to see more with A18 but it quickly became apparent that almost all POIs are dungeons now...

I gotta be honest, I'm not sure what the OP is about. My bases don't require massive repairs after horde night and I don't consider making a base with the AI in mind to be cheesing anything. I make use of traps, lots of them, especially barbed wire early on. The same I imagine I would if I were...

I love the POIs but I do think the scaling in A17 is off. My friend and I steam this game every week and between us we have well over 4000 hours in. And if we're being honest, A16 was way too easy for anyone beyond beginner. Our last A16 run we didn't even pay attention to the Zs unless we...

Yup, that's my real problem with it. I don't care whether it's a punch or the E key but when I am clearly targeting the next crop and i end up pulling up a seed it's not a good time.

4 nights a week, Satsu2Cents and me (Ranting Monkey) take on the zombie horde on 2CentsPlus. In addition, we've been making videos to help people navigate the changes we've seen in Alpha 17. Recently, our best base design was challenged and we put it to the test . Come hang out with us...
