It feels like the few players that are to lazy to learn how to play a game wants games to be simplified for them. Maybe they should go and stick with *Cough Nintendo Cough* another platform that is geared towards childrens mindset and intelligence. Could you imagine if they tried learning to play Kerbal Space Program, Heat, Conan Exiles, SCUM or Space Engineers there heads would explode. This world is becoming puss*** way to much and intelligence is dropping as a result, or maybe thats because of Fluoride in the water??? lol. This game is not that hard to learn and the UI is not complicated by any means in my opinion.

*hears man screaming* *Hey dude your going to start an uprour voicing your opinion* :miserable: :miserable: :upset: :upset:

Hmm if the ISS is going back to being simple , and wellness is gone. Maybe we should implement a nutrition system. Where eating the same / type of food over and over gives less and less hunger until you eat something else a few times. Or maybe make it so eating certain cooked meals can give you buffs like an EXP buff , or increased movement speed , increased max health / stamina , more meele damage, etc. . This would allow a Chef/Farmer class to emerge as cooking good meals requires investing into skills / reading chef books.

I wouldn't want eating to be a mini game. IMO you can do it the proper way and make it a major gameplay feature like in SCUM or you leave it simple. Everything inbetween is meh.

 
If people keep asking the same questions, there's a problem with the design Roland.....

You ever consider that maybe the players that ask are new to the game??? Its faster to learn a game by asking those who know than it is trying to learn on ones own. just sayin'.

I assume there is a steady stream of new players weekly.

Every single game, except those which are beyond simple, has players consistently asking for guidance on how to play. If you need proof jump on to forums for most other games.

*spoiler alert, you'll find new players asking questions on how the game works since its release*

I'm honestly surprised that the PS5 will be a thing. Lol You know, what with the Cloud Gaming future looming over the horizon.

I'll be honest I have not followed any of the news for consoles ever since I had my PS4 stolen on my B-day 3 years ago lol.

Considering PS4 has cloud gaming already and as of 3 years ago it never really took off, I cannot imagine it will with PS5. I point towards backwards compatibility for the PS5 already having been announced a few days ago as evidence for this claim.

Then again I've been in the dark regarding consoles for 3 years so I'm probably wrong.

I think the largest obstacles behind cloud gaming are the lack of Internet infrastructure, Internet caps, no exclusive deals, no correct business model as of yet (I'm looking at you, Stadia)... Yeah, come to think of it, I don't see cloud gaming taking over for a couple decades.

Welp, I'm about to start a No Crafting Challenge in A17.4. Wish me luck. :p

That is an original idea, interesting very interesting.... *strokes beard while thinking*

EDIT: I think I'm going to give this a shot in A18, talk about a challenge. Genius idea my dude!

The title says it all. No crafting whatsoever. (Minus vehicles, if you can find the appropriate parts, since otherwise it would be a No Vehicle Challenge as well; plus, you're not exactly crafting the vehicles, just assembling them.)

 
Yes, mine could be the 1%, but it can happen. What we really need is comprehensive analytics hooked up to the game, so we can track everyone's experiences and not be guessing.

Animals are fine for sp. There are enough of them out there so if we kill them we can eat. What's the problem with that?

We see an animal, get off our bike, make sure zombies are not going to be an issue, kill animal, harvest and move on.

People have too much meat? Dont kill every animal you come across, I dont.

The alternative is to have to go looking for animals. That's not fun, like at all. Biking through the woods looking for animals to kill is boring af. Maybe you enjoy it? I dunno but from my point of view it's about the least interesting thing I could be doing.

Now you could argue, then just farm for your food, right? Yea I could do that, until the food police want farming nerfed next. We have too much corn, farming, pls nerf.

 
The problem is imo that people don't think to use just an basic bandage to remove max damage bar so they can then heal.

Have seen this on many youtubers videos and commented say use the basic bandage then eat or pills.

Once you know it is obvious, also max health damage could do with being a different colour as it is often hard to notice.

 
Yeh they aren't cost effective imo; shotty turrets at least stun cops from puking.
I imagine the discrepancy is that when we shoot, we get headshots, but when turrets shoot, they just go for it... So because the difference between a headshot and not headshot is so great it's better to hand shoot.

Glad you're gonna take a look at them.

I have used both turrets alot. The auto turret simply uses too much brass, like WAY too much.

The shotgun turret is awesome though, headshots or not. I love them.

 
So they shoot like Kage. Got it, why didn't you guys just say so? I'm on it :D

That's rich coming from the guy that drops his bow on horde night 😉

But to be fair it is an honor to get roasted by Madmole himself lol

 
A sample size of one (your experience) does not mean much. In my current game (also sample size one) I did not see a single animal from around day 4 to 8. I had zero food and was staving. Finally after wandering in the forest for a while I saw a deer and managed to kill it after having to chase it with my gimped stamina.
Randomness makes a huge difference in how people experience the game.

I notice that after a while there are fewer zeds and no animals, I have to exit the game to menu, and then reload my save. This seems to reset things and animals and zeds spawn again

 
You can mount a relay on a pole with a cross beam that would be the same thing.

I did this exact thing. I thought it was a genius idea. I had power lines going down the street hooking up all the players bases in this town we took over. I think some players just lack creativity.

 
Nobody uses the auto turret. No one. If you have a game mechanic that no one is using, don't you think that's an issue?

Careful hommie do not speak for me and the other 99.99999999% percent of players. I do use Auto turrets, speak for yourself and not others.

Really, the only thing you nee to do is have the players MaxHealth slightly replenish overtime.
Click to expand...
FYI there is a perk for that, its the first perk I invest in ;)

EDIT: nevermind misread Maxhealth. Simple bandages fix max health, is it really that hard to craft them? (laughing)

 
I finally received my 7D2D mug. Looking gorgeous! :D

Mine is arriving today :)

EDIT:

@ZombieSurvivor Don't enter the military bases early on in the No Crafting Challenge... I just got a day 1 feral wight. XD
Click to expand...
That sounds like a bug. I often turn the military base in to my base early game. I've never had that spawn in for me.....I might be thinking of the wrong zombie though.
