well with some items being trader only, and needing better barter 3 to get to them, it tends to make at least partial intel a requirement.
NV goggles being one of them for agility builds at night with the new lighting system. I love doing t5's at night instead of mining

You can get NVs without the trader, but they do seem to be a pretty rare drop. I think solar panels and cells are the only thing locked behind the trader stash? (Could be very wrong here.)

NV googles are findable in loot. Would have to check the xml to be sure but I think it was even mentioned in this thread a while a go that they are just rare.

I recently got a pair in a zombie loot bag.

 
A19 will bring the game to completion in terms of melee items and firearms. 3 tiers of every weapon archtype.

Awesome! I'm excited what new weapons you guys have cooking. Will you guys have 3 tiers for ranged and melee for each tree for A19?

From memory:

Melee:

STR:

Wooden Club > Baseball Bat > ???

Stone Sledge > Iron Sledge > Steel Sledge

FOR: Leather Knucks > Iron Knucks > Steel Knucks

PER: Stone Spear > Iron Spear > Steel Spear

INT: Stun Baton > Junk Sledge? > ???

AGI : Bone Shiv > hunting Knife > Machete

well as far as i know!

theirs.

Tactical AR: tier 2 AR weapon that looks like a M4A1

tier 3 shotgun (ill call it the Combat shotgun): no model but MM said it would be Based off the "origin 12"

tier 3 sniper: Unknow what it is!

Deagle: a Classic Desert Eagle!

and the Grenade launcher that's replacing the Blunderbuss!

 
I wish someone would go through the entire thread and take out all of the hints of what the devs say could / might / will and what will not still happen.... and post that in a single summary. Someone who is not me because dammit this is TL:NT (Too Long:No Time)

Just go to the first post, I edit that all the time.

 
Biggest thing that pisses me off is not really being able to see. The first days or so bright lights sucked. I'm mostly okay with them but I wear uv blocking glasses, but everything's still kinda blurry in that eye and just a little bit ago I posted in Gopher's mod thread not Guppycur's because well, I was able to make out a "G". =)

Mine never affected my vision, it just hurt like hell. Will your vision return?

Some trees have more combat perks. Str has both clubs and sledges while Agi has archery and pistols.

All trees dont necessarily need to be equal combat wise but not doing so may make it difficult balance wise.

 
Madmole,
Are you happy with the stun baton (mechanic wise)?

Never used it yet in a legit game tbh. Now that we will soon have a junk sledge/junk drone and the intellect guy will be 100% It will be my first play test for 19.

Hopefully. It is getting better so I'm not worried, it just sucks in the interim.

Shard in the eye sounds waaaay worse.

I would love it if Perk rank 5 of the stun baton shocked all nearby enemies when you hit the closest zombie.

 
I quite enjoy using the stun baton.

At first it's a little clunky like using a wiffle ball bat. But, as you perk and mod it, it starts hitting really well, and love when it zap stuns them! Then finish them. Of course the turrets are great too.

AHOY MADMOLE!

terms of melee weapons! what's coming in Alpha 19?

i thought every melee weapon was ingame in terms of tier 1 to 3!

Unless your adding new types of melee weapons? what other melee weapon needs a tier 2 or 3?

Steel axe, (used the same model as iron before, now it looks like an apocalyptic battle axe), the new club, all new models for every other tool, new pipe wrench, ratchet and impact driver for salvaging.

Sounds sexy, there needs to be a split zombie in half perk lol

Edit: side note, I know axes are a tool primarily but it would be so awesome if it had it's own perk to make it a combat weapon...

...maybe a balance nightmare but go well with the new "battle" axe. 😎👍
