Then why have it at all?
(I’d love to see it gone btw)

Some people like it. I do buy one rank to reduce the buried treasure radius. There are loads of perks in fallout and skyrim I don't buy, but its all good.

 
Not sure if you are realizing it, but you keep saying this and that are “useless”. If that’s really the case, why not make them useful instead of removing them? You have already seen the light with crafting, so apply the same logic and make light armour have better reasons to use it.
As for military armour, I already suggested it could be moved to legendary status if it feels too OP. It would work well given that it has its own materials to repair anyways.

I don't think military is OP at all. Its not useless but I feel like its tougher to craft for no legit reason. Maybe if military fiber was used for some more things it wouldn't bother me at all, perhaps some ballistic clothing or mods would round it out nice.

 
Ahh just like Black Friday lol

I've had a blast seeing traders have something out of my price range before, I took risks and quested at NIGHT early game to get my hands on a motorcycle early game.

 
well, I have leather/military armor, but with advanced muffled connectors on all peices and perked into "from shadows" if that helps. Still get nabbed using silenced pistol in alot, not all, situations

I think it has a 9 meter falloff or something so you are going to wake a few up, but overall I had a lot of fun stealth killing with it.

 
So the last two multiplayer maps I've been on has spawned me in the desert. Not too bad for me, as I am trying to do an agility build and all those bones are easy to find.
@mademole, any plans on having RWG spawn POI's on the more distant lands of an RWG map? Unfortunately I don't know the seed name for this particular picture since the admins on the server I play don't give out the seed names. I personally would want it, because I like to explore the maps.

RWG is a WIP.

 
I don't know why people waste perks on Lucky Looter, all it does is shorten your quest to find good loot by a week or two of game days in the grand scheme of things.

Sounds like a bad design then. ;) Seriously though, if you think its essentially a waste, why keep it?

 
Most people would rather not ♥♥♥♥ around for two weeks, also good level loot is never worthless, you can always sell it to the trader for a butt ton of ammo.

You still find great stuff without it, and eventually hit that point where you are getting a lot of good gear. I prefer to explode heads faster and buy more combat perks.

 
I disagree. If you can't afford it at the moment, it puts a sudden urgency to sell everything you can, buy a barter perk, and earn money as fast as possible and then buying it feels more rewarding to me than just finding it.

Honestly, I do my best to never visit a trader, and by that I mean the only reason I go there at all are the quests. I *HATE* being about to just "buy" something. I get some people like yourself, like them. But... I wish there wasn't the reliance being put on them that there is.

 
@Madmole:Awesome!

Heres the steam link for that poi where we ran into day 2 issues.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1890609525

I asked my wife to confirm, and the kitchen had one military guy, one feral military guy, and a wight. (with a bunch of good loot)

As you are going through the poi, all the walls are metal, and you drop in from the ceiling, so short of a junk turret, there is no where to run. (I ran back into the drop bedroom, closed that door to slow them down, ran into other bathroom and close that door to slow them down, and started chopping at the metal wall with a level one stone axe. luckily a wander horde broke open the wall for me, and I used the junk turret to escape.

Fun times, BUT the hunted us down until they killed us anyway...lol!

We'll check it out.

 
That would also help teach players that they can't spend their points willy nilly; that they have to specialize, at least in (several) things. Spending your points in A18 like in A17 just doesn't work. :p

I'd rather buy 60 perks that felt meaningful than 100 and still feel like I can't kick ass and I'm waiting for more crap to unlock.

 
Isn't the garage door too small for the jeep? Remembering the video, what I saw was for vault doors & draw bridges.
Here's Capp's video.

There is a much bigger awesome overhead garage door now I never use that small double door.

 
Madmole, I think the book that gives you 10% more block damage isn't working or my game is bugged. I got the book day before horde night so I could only test it today and coffee effects "on/off" didn't change my damage block at all. I didn't post it in the bug thread because as I said before it could be my game.
About nerfing items quality from traders. I think it's not a bad idea because mid/late game guns like M60 shouldn't be available for sale. I was watching Kage latest video and by day 11 he bought it. I don't know, I got 3 M60 so far: 2 by looting a T4 quest twice and one a T3 fetch/clear. Traders should have less quality and not mid/late equipment/guns, but a bit more and consistenly all types of ammo or at least casing and tips.

I can put more supplies in, if we need it for late game. To be determined.

 
I just watched his video...
Ok, so, you can connect a second cam to the first. Evidentally that works! It makes no sense, but ♥♥♥♥ that idc, because it solves this, and therefor nvm.

(it makes no sense because I would expect the first cam needs triggered to send power to the second, for it to work. But whatever, glad I assumed wrong.)

Thanks for the video clip link Laz Man, it's likely I would've never tried that. Gonna go test now, but it seems as though this indeed a viable solution.

Na, power is power. Its like an extension cord with a lamp in it, powering another extension cord with a lamp in it.

 
Apologies if it has already been mentioned or this topic is closed, but have you considered a physical barrier, like a makeshift wall or fencing, implying the whole playable area is a giant quarantine zone managed by the military? Perhaps you get some warnings over a loud speaker if you get too close and then they open fire?
Or does that clash with the intended atmosphere/story? It would explain the recurring airdrops inside the zone.
Click to expand...
That kind of clashes. Navezgane is a small pocket far enough from big cities that it didn't get turned to ashes like everything around it.
