I forget which Alpha it was.been playing since A5-6..but I would make a base in a city and have a 2 hour firefight keeping the zombies out. We used pretty much every bullet, arrow and whatever we could do to stop them...endless waves ....The good old days!!

I enjoyed that feature as well as it made 0,0 very difficult and almost impossible to setup a base in unless you brought in a team with alot of preparations.

However, one of the draw backs with it is you could run through an entire city to max out the max alive limit and then ditch them to stop the zed spawn in POIs.

 
0,0 could be ground zero for a dirty bomb. Irradiated and with the strongest enemies. Never ending spawns, but has the rarest loot. A no man's land.

Only the strongest players could go in and survive. Would be another late game goal.

 
Just like IRL there is a cost to Extra Cheese.
You don't get all the cool toys. Up to you...

Or we could stick to adding cheese to where it belongs, like in burgers, omelets, salads etc, and finally have it removed from this game by changing the GS formula and that cheesy scaling.

 
I think an interesting main quest option would be that you spawn at the very edge of the map and have to make it to the center (or spawn in one corner and have to make it to the diagonal corner), while the difficulty increases the closer you get to the quest location. Surrounding the location there would be city in the wasteland biome and an irradiated zone in the center of that which requires a full hazard suit to survive. There would be a big, unique POI full of irradiated ferals, but if you complete it you finish the main quest, and get a sweet perk and some epic loot.

 
@Madmole We will be able to see character legs again one day? i dont like to feel floating :(

Nope.

Wasn't this the plan at one time, that we'd be able to see more of our character in first person? I know there's not many games that do it currently (SCUM, Conan Exiles, Elite: Dangerous to a degree), but I know it's something that seems to be coming up more from people with the growing popularity of VR.

 
Haven’t been paying attention. Will the drop be this Friday yes or no?

Most definitely October. (As in, 99.99...% ...If not confirmed.) There are around 20 MF bugs left that TFP are unable to ship the game with.

Last word I was able to gleam from the last several pages is only a 10% chance of it dropping this weekend, so not looking good. There was 20 some "must fix" bugs remaining.

 
Not the best community? Take your smeef and GTF outta here!!! ;)

Well.. To be honest, the community here isn't so very great. There's this guy who's making inappropriate jokes all the time. And one who is obsessed with rocks. I've been told there's even a math teacher in here, if you believe it!

I wish there's a forum achievement for keeping up with this thread over phone, heh.. :-)
So, seems like A18 will release either around my birthday, or around when my wife's delivery date. xD I envy youuuu guys so much as I doubt I'll join for some time after we bring baby home, so please don't break it. :-D

Anyway, @madmole , what is your suggestion for 1st A18 playthrough? Any tips, favorite builds etc? :-)

I think an early congratulations is in order! May you continue to have good fortune in the future.

 
Madmole said they are gonna decide today if they release it this week or in October

Its not coming Friday, so it will be October. Sorry but too many MF's yet. This will give me more time to balance intellect, perception and more general balance as more members of the team are getting more free time to test. This will be enough time to have a really soft landing. So Oct 4th barring no disasters.

Cool, I want to see those Junk turrets in action; against a horde. How far are you now in this play through? Maybe another video to lift some spirits :angel:

Hmm, and I land back in Australia on 7 October, so yeah, that works for me. ;-)

Glad to hear it! Don't work your team too hard. We (most of us) can survive a few more weeks or more if needed. If we can be of any help, let us know...seriously.
