Madmole:

Do headshots no longer do additional damage, or do you just not do them?

Also, for game play vids, can you lower the game sounds and increase your volume? Thanks!

Lastly, can you show a screenshot of your character skill page? You were getting wailed on and hardly taking any damage...

Yeah, that's him. Wow! He looks scarier in real life in that pose.

You should see him in that video when they are setting up the computer scan.

ahhhh Good catch. My bad I thought we were talking about out running zombies during BM. I stand corrected thank you.

Sure, it's cool, wouldn't want to start yet another discussion about "No Blood Moon escape prevention in A18", which involves whether the BM horde should be mandatory or not, if enabled, and in general a lot more other than the player being able to outrun a zombie on a certain speed setting.

 
Yeh,we don't elevate other threads in the dev diary.

(laughing) I sat here for 2 minutes staring at your statement trying to figure out what the heck it means. Then I figured it out. That was good and very sneaky of you lol ;) :)

I think there needs to a be a slight change in how we are referring to the hordes.

Although they are mostly referred to as Zombies, they seem to be evolving (purposefully i might add) into more along the lines of the ‘infected’ from I Am Legend (the Will Smith film, sometimes the names are changed in other countries :p ). They are definitely more intelligent than what is commonly thought a zombie would be, and from the last couple of Alphas, they appear to be learning.

Just my random thought for the day :p

I've forgotten all the specifics and details, and I'm not bothered to go look them up (lol), but the "origins of zombies" in folklore can be traced back to necromancy, I believe. They were mindless beings with an intense hatred for anything living. (And their name did roughly translate into "zombie".) While the origins of the zombies in 7D2D did not stem from magic-based practices, this is just a friendly reminder to everyone that different variants on zombies exist, and not all of them are mindless, brain dead walking beings. :p Even definitions on the classic zombie vary.

I thought zombies come from the bible, specifically 1 Thessalonians 4:16 "For the LORD himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first." lol just joking.

 
Cool horde night, looking forward to those :)

Your damage resistance just worries me a bit. You're playing a tank build, sure, but the amount of damage you're Not taking while a zombie gnaws on your ankle for 15 hits (well, 13 before you notice him).. that feels a bit too strong, you're just ignoring the poor fella :)

Also the radiated Arlene got a swing in at around 7:50, causing a worrisome 5 HP loss. That's around 30 hits to get you dead, so, it would take being stunned by a group of about 10 rads to actually die to them, playing disciplined.

If I'd guess based on A17 balancing, I'd assume it's armor balance that's a bit out of whack. Hope you'd check that. 90% damage reduction feels fantastic until you realise ferals are doing 2 damage (out of 200) while you can still outmaneuver them.

 
Hey madmole. I'm curious if you have rounded electricity. Are there more changes except the extra lights you added back in?

Just the light tweaks and a few lights I added for players to craft, schematics to unlock them if you don't want to buy the electrician perk.

I think that is supposed to translate into the player going into God Mode, calling upon F6, and raising the undead through omniscient means. ;)

 
I had to google what a hellcat is, daaaamn. I like a lot :)
I so want to comment on the gym but I'm not exactly sure how much info you have released to the public so for privacy concerns I wont. I have an idea though and, if you really had an entire gym built ....bravo for the dedication to your body

Its awesome, rubber floor mostly hammer strength machines, free weights, dumbbells up to 100 pounds, treadmill, MMA bag and mats. Thanks guys.

 
It's a bigger touch for perception class players on higher gamestages. I recently tested how much ammunition I would consume if I did quests with my shotgun instead of the club and my crossbow. I have consumed about 300 shotgun shells on default settings with gamestage 500 at a tier 5 quest.
At the moment you can carry 250 shotgun shells per slot. 300 rounds would be 3 slots instead of 2 slots for 500 rounds if the stacksize is the same as for 7,62mm.

With 7,62mm the difference is even bigger. Here you can currently carry 500 bullets per slot. That would be 4 additional slots which will be used if you want to carry the same amount of ammunition. Quite a difference.

This change will not please perception players who like to loot. The book becomes essential for these players.

You can carry 500 rounds in one slot once you can craft the bundles, open them as needed. Perception is rocket launchers too, just sayin.
