Console [07/11] - Message from the Team - Progress update

It sure does, lol. Man now im not looking forward to the wolves. At least like you said they give meat tho. The dogs are bad enough. It looks like the vultures & snakes are more of just a pain than a challenge. Kinda like the bees i guess.

I wish they would leave the bees in & just add the vultures. The bees are really no challenge but are a good source of honey. The pain about them is first locating them, then trying to get them to come low enough to kill them.

Like SylenThunder said some games you might not see hardly any. So I guess it depends but still my question is still the same will console match the same % settings they use on PC to determine how many and how often and such you get. Or will console have to change some stuff to get it work right due to the limitations. Either way if wolves make it yes we at least get the raw meat and not rotten flesh or whatever it is called sorry my mind is blank if it is rotten meat or rotten flesh.

Anyway if they add vultures the bees will be taken out. Vultures are not horrible they just a pain at the moment but this could change some so we may or may not have to really deal with it to long if they do add them. They at least are a threat unlike bees. They will come down and attack. They are just a pain to hit with a arrow or bullet. Take a automatic weapon and you should kill no problem lol. But use a pistol or arrow especially arrows are a pain. You have better odds to carry a club or something to hit them with.

If added the stealth will work better then it does now and the night vision goggles actually work and not make things all green looking. So if they add these things getting out at night isn't as bad. Really most A16 stuff if added will be good. About the only things I don't care to much for as of A16 goes is electricity and the traps. They still need work and stuff so as of now I'm glad they added it but don't care to use them as of now. The town layout is great but I don't care for two and sometimes 4 military bases/camps being right beside one another and other buildings the same. But overall it is ok just can't wait for the next update to see if they got towns layouts better and such. But I guess if this added to console we will have to deal with it for a few. Anyway crossing fingers that we get some more news within another week or two for console lol.

 
I hear that. Im so excited to see what we get. I know the next post will likely just be another update of where they're at, which is awesome, but hopefully they can let us know what features to expect.

Im looking forward to jumping back in and sinking more hours into this awesome game!

 
my best friend said if they added the compound bow he would play, i told him to stop watching pc stuff. im guessing a restart or id start playing again

That seems a lil silly that's whats keeping him from playing but to each his own i guess. The compound bow is basically just another bow, we already have the regular bow & crossbow. This does make sense to have though in a survival game.

Seeing as how TFP dont wanna add too many "like" weapons, i'm surprised this is in the game. I do hope we get the new arrow impact sound.

I say a high chance the compound bow will get added.

Reason they added another bow is because they felt and well it is true many others agree that the regular bow was to OP. It is simple to make a regular bow and then use steel arrows with it. The compound bow was put in to make it not so easy to make that would shoot the steel arrows. The regular bow is for regular arrows. I like the compound bow more then guns to be honest it has good power and damage to it. But it is always good to have the SMG by my side for when I do need it lol.

 
Yeah i'm sure i'll be a fan of the compound bow too, if we get it of course. I'm not much of a gun user. Only use them for horde nights and thats usually for the 21 day horde and up.

I personally like bows & melee weapons. The only time i mess with steel ammunition is with the crossbow. I get by just fine with stone arrows.

 
Totally agree with you. The problem with guns is that they increase the heat level which leads to higher spawn rates for standard zombies. Unfortunately it is not a challenge for the base or a challenge to fight them, it is just exhausting work. This is why I try to avoid fighting with guns.

 
I like the regular bow, the compound bow will be awesome. I beleive the compound bow is stronger than the regular bow used to be. The slower fire rate makes you be sure that every shot counts. And you have to admit you feel like a badass when you wipe out a wandering horde dancing around them with a bow and almost never miss a shot

 
I tend to use the bow and arrow for quite a while, eventually moving to the crossbow and backed up by a spiky club. Might keep a gun on me for later horde nights or if I want to be able to take out bears from a distance.

 
I generally don't like guns unless I have enough bullet, my tactics are spray and pray that I hit more than just trees.

I'm on team spikey club for melee and arrows for sneaky pot shots and ranged take downs - I'm with you guys, the compound bow would be a sweet addition :D

YES! Spiked club FTW unless I get surprised while skinning an animal. Although I will prolly join team machete if we ever get the recipe added as they r super rare for me in current game state

I have to say -- that made me crack up haha. xD I'm not sure if it's because I'm used to shooting in games such as CS-GO and Rust / the like or just guns are different in the game but I am terrrrrrrible with them in 7 days so spiky-club club and sledgy-hammer club are my forte as well :D

Compound bow takes some getting used to for distance but it is quite awesome. Regular bows are hard to go back to, certainly nevermind the crossbow lol.

Man the machete is a beast for sure. My first time really using it was on a pvp server (PC); I took over a prefab house for a temp shelter in the early-game (found a blue machete in an air drop!) and someone started to beat down the front door. I, kinda scared because I only had plant fiber clothing, hid upstairs on a balcony outside the door. He came through the door and I Leeroy-charged him and took him down with one swing to the head! I was rather pleased haha.

yer id love the same lighting as the pc but hey it was changed to how it is for the small amount of players getting 'motion sickness'. lol hate the lighting .

 
it put a giant black dot in the middle of every light rendering them useless. it was so dark outside even during the day you could not see.

I remember that. The effect looked cool though, kinda realistic. If only it was a lil brighter.

 
getting rid of invisible landmines would really help. this is worse then when you made the mining helmets so dark they were useless.

Or at least not make them instakill unless you are wearing cloth armor or less. Leather should provide a little protection but if you are wearing a good set of iron armor they should just be an annoyance.

ya 150 health 500+raider/police armour, 100 heavy armour still 1 hit kill. if i was gravely wounded sure

 
Not sure what the textures will look like on this update to help with the issues some are having. But maybe at the very least they can match PC as far as the one hit kill goes. Because on PC if I remember correctly even naked and you have 150 health it doesn't kill you in one hit.
