That or helping a trader rebuild its post and become active, which is same as being destroyed by zeds of course, had a thought about that recently. Glad I am not alone on that clever piece of idea, means there is a chance !

I have played a mod a few months back where u or zombies could destroy the trader, but gone was gone. U actually seem to have a side mission on ur hand to defend the poor guy against the onslaught from the Pimps

 
This really gets me excited MM... since the first day I play this game I am a loot-addict. I just almost pick up everything and save it. (Or scrap it and save the scrap from it). I never have enough backpack space... I am really curious about A18 and the new "looting depth"
Besides... since the first day I play this game I am hooked and even have a hard time in reallife to make the difference.

I see Goldenrod everywhere as long as I see yellow flowers. If I make coffee for myself I wonder if I should plant some in the garden, I see broken cars (actually they are not broken, but old, but I just assume they are broken). Last week we had someone to sleepover and I asked if he needed a bedroll... but quickly changed it to "matras"... and I even see zombies (mother in law for example) and u have those days that the sun goes down and u got a very nice sunset/sundown and the sky turns red so i start to wonder : is this the 7th day???

I just can't get it out of my head and I think A18 will add new features in my head...

Yes if you play too much 7 Days creeps into reality a bit, like a trash bag on someone's curb as you drive by has you wondering what loot is in there, then you realize its just trash.

 
Hey Madmole. I was surprised to hear that you only now discovered that there are traders in every boime. But yeah, it's like that in Navezgane. Trader Jenny is the hardest to find :) . Mainly because unlike most traders that are on main roads. Jenny is on a side roads. Side roads are very hard to see in the wasteland biome.

In Random Gen (RG) I can find a trader in in every biome. Which gets a little weird when I find more than one trader with the same name. Because in RG, I find several biomes of the same type and each with it's own trader.

For example: I will have a several pine forest boimes and find (a) Trader Joel in each of them.

Having them always by the roads is both practical and helps others to find them and l love that.

I never needed more than one, but with 300 ? books/schematics and random stat items you want to check every time their stock changes so you don't miss something good.

 
...please don't forego your weekly shower to answer these! :biggrin1:

Well that just made my day :-D

First i was like "wow MM is even neglecting body hygiene to answer our questions"...then i was "cool, he surely is doing some serious research concerning the possible return of smell in A18"...and then "oooohhh...he was referring to electricity" :-)

You should like ours then since it doesn't touch on the things you dislike.

 
You have been fine. Matter a fact, more than fine.
Thank you for being so active on the forums. Not alot of devs do that and it means alot to us.

Thanks. Well I've been known to piss people off when I didn't know I was, for just being blunt Joel so maybe I'm getting a bit better.

Awesome, cheers, I can't wait to drink some cappuccino out of mine :)

Oh, i remember something like that yes, twas fun looking.

 
good point - Stone sledge hammer - interesting. this weekend I am going to play a scavenger only game - that is I can only use what I find or craft with what I find so if I want a bike I need to find the wheels not make them. I can buy/sell with traders.
should be fun.
Click to expand...
Wait you said you could only use what you can find or craft, then you say you won't craft? So you mean a no crafting build?

Try a no crafting no trader build lol.

 
lol, do not buy all of them, I will need one, too.Hope the delivery is less than 20 bucks as it is for the awesome mug.

We can use the forums to hire a fella, that will go to US , buy whatever merch we want and bring it to Europe, even for free. Anyone?

P.S. having a 3 day break, dead is dead is awaiting. Wish me luck. *smerk*

I wish I had a special a18 dead is dead key I could give you, and when you died you lost the code or access. You would be super stoked but super stressed knowing your A18 would be gone until release if you died lol.

 
haha :)
Would be nice to see if traders actually can be destroyed by zombies... and that you can do a quest line to rebuild the place or so.

We're closed until we get these walls fixed...Can you help?

yeah sorry that was a bit of an oxymoron statement - yes no crafting OR trader - so just what I can find.

So interesting game play - my son (Solder in US Army) and I play together, he is all about run in club swinging, gun ready and I am all sneak sneak sneak with my bow. makes for a crazy game play combo as my build is all sneak bonus and his build is all max melee damage.

 
Seems to me like lucky looter is going to be a must have perk to max out. Given, that books and schematics are the key to A18.

Its a book that gives you a chance to get more books. The perk just increases chance to find higher quality loot so that doesn't affect books too much.

Will be epic 7 to ~40 mins of gameplay lol.

*Only on extreme difficulty

Now a quest to help a trader get up and running and a quest to fix or repair destroyed items would be nice. if I find a workbench for example and its broken, why can't I fix it?

That is where you go: "You take the poi on the left, I'll take the one on the right".
