One thing to keep in mind, is to assume all the zombies have advanced degrees in structural engineering and structural integrity, because they WILL know where to dogpile for the weakest block, the shortest/most efficient path to you and how to undermine your base.  Kind of cheesy, but that's how...

I agree, I played a bit of stealth in A18 and quite a bit in A19 and had a lot of fun sneaking around, despite the slower poi progress and lighter armor types.    In A20 it just doesn't feel worth the hassle and risk (once you get past lvl 15 or so with semi decent gear/weapons) due to all the...

I definitely agree that the movements tend to be pretty janky and inconsistent at times, definitely far from realistic.  I've had zombies get knocked down, hit once while down and instantly be back on their feet hitting you after contact.   Other times they "incorrectly" think they need to...

My top list would be:   1)  Deep Cuts  -  I don't use blades on zombies, just requires too many hits for that close of distance.  I personally tend to use sledgehammers or arrows, although I'm interested in trying the unkillable fist weapon build. 2)  Javelin Master  -  Really don't like spears...

I found this place for the first time yesterday and was definitely amuse by the concept.  That said, I was wondering how the birds escaped the building when I entered the basement (they ran up and past me), good to know they can jump out the window.  Really thought they just despawned, since...

I avoided the wasteland at all costs in Alpha 19, since there wasn't much reason to visit due to the difficulty.  I'm actually glad they give a reason to go now (even though It'll be a PITA), though we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.  Only lvl 38 and still on a bicycle, so absolutely...

Largely depends on my spawn location and if playing with a group.  If solo, I'll usually just take a POI and convert/reinforce it.   If I do make a custom base, it's usually mostly for the XP, as I'm not a very creative builder.  My personal bases are very blocky (cubes) with a large platform...

Could compromise and have it where one gives the jar back and the other depletes it.  Maybe make the cornbread allow you to keep the jar, as a reward for the extra step(s)

I normally avoid the bloodmoons (ie:  heading to the roof of a poi and letting the timer expire) or run around and let them chase me.   I play on a harder difficulty/sprint or faster zombie speed and normally find that they just aren't worth the resources/effort and usually result in a net loss...

That's what I've previously been doing and it works well enough.  However, it can still take a few seconds to get above ground, depending on how far you're probing underground.    The biggest issue on the higher difficulties (and faster zombies) is since our levels are still pretty low (<30)...

Glad someone addressed and confirmed that.  I didn't notice it early on, but at level 2 it seemed to happen almost every time.  As a result, they are almost a death sentence to do solo without having the quest quit on you.    My group plays on a survivalist (heading towards insane at higher...

Another instance (same POI) where I'm in the attic of a 2 story house and somehow agro'd 2 outside zombies after I did a full clear into the house.  (My wooden door was gone, again.  >.<  Kind of ridiculous, considering I'm sneaking almost all the time with less than 50% detection and...

I agree and definitely think something is off considering the POI zombies don't agro, but the stuff outside does (even with <30 detection shown)   I just had an instance now where I was sniping a sleeping zombie (while stealthing) right in front with a lvl 1 primitive bow/iron arrow in the...

So I've just noticed something odd, ocassionally when I clear the trash/broken glass out of the path, it will still play the sound effect despite it being removed.  Not sure if that's a glitch on my end or if that's potentially alerting the zombies, either way I've noticed it at least in 1 POI...

Hey everyone,  So I've been curious about how the zombies respond to sound in A20.  Are all the zombies more sensitive in A20 to sound from inside buildings?  I've noticed that more often when sneaking around inside a POI, that wandering zombies from outside the building tend to hear me and...
