Alpha 16 is the best. All downhill from there.

I watched a roaming zombie get stuck on a staircase railing. I think later versions of the game have smarter and more alert zombies.

Smarter, for sure; but they still haven't figured out a staircase with railing (when approaching from the side).

One of the things I'm most enjoying in my A16 game is the number of zombies.... they're everywhere. I really missed the wandering hordes of 20+ zombies.

I did face a wandering horde and it was large. That was neat. They were very slow and easy to fight, but their numbers and the amount of damage each zombie took to kill was a challenge to the durability of my weapons. I'm used to carrying multiple clubs in case one breaks and if I hadn't done that I would have just had to run away to repair them. Those zombies hit pretty hard too, at least if you're wearing plant fiber clothing, so there's a price to be paid if you make a mistake.

Im currently playing A14.7 and in terms of skills its brilliant because crafting and combat are LBD but you CAN if you want to, boost them manually by spending points. The main reason for that being the not LBD skills often depend on certain level of LBD skills so you just fast track those bad boys if you need the skills ASAP.

I've been replaying A16 for a couple of weeks now, and I think you're thinking of A15.... A16 added crafting skills that required skill point purchases. There was no spam crafting to increase skill in 16. The only LBD skills were active skills like combat.

That makes sense. I gotta admit I was a bit confused when I tried rolling back to A16 last month.

Yeah. It actually felt like a zombie survival game. You had to have a strategy to clear a town before you started looting or you actually snuck around and tried not to alert anyone outside. I really miss those days.

Why? You can just play that version and be happy. You actually are playing it now, so what are you missing then?

I can't, I'm going to die laughing! How they idealize A16. The version where mobs can't do anything to the player, poi are boxes with endless sofas and a lot of similar nonsense awaits in this version

 

[KirillWright]

There are a lot of raw functions and bugs that don't let you play. But otherwise, it's a classic for all times!

Yes, unlike other games we are blessed that we can play whatever version from the past we like. This doesnt excuse the state of the current version though and neither does it make the desire to have the newest version of the game work right irrelevant. Especially when it seems the game just keeps on going the wrong way.
