Yeah, once you've been thru a few poi's you can stand at the entrance of a seemingly empty room and be able to predict where the zombies will come from, is there a closet? or a room with a door thats not a door? its a 1 hp panel a zombie is going to most likely bust thru second you walk in the room. This really screws stealth builds as many of them can't hit the zombie without getting rid of the panel first.
I hope they add these futures back
cause right now zombies are not a threat
You know...this makes sense. That those were added for Quests. However, if that's the case it could be done so much more interestingly.
On the other hand mining was never that easy. You simply dig out the 'ore cone' of iron that is usually rich of coal, nitrate and lead.
Some good ideas. I think they've already nerfed some of those chests in experimental. I'm on the stable branch atm so I don't know if that's the case. The guns already have random durability when you find them. If you want to go that far, then all shotgun messiahs should have brand new weapons in general. Broken or non-pristine weapons should be located in the shotgun messiahs repair/used/2nd hand section. Pawn shops would contain both (pristine items would be stolen goods).You know...this makes sense. That those were added for Quests.

For instance, perhaps the vast majority of the time in the POI you don't get the treasure vault version of the loot room.
IF, however, you're doing a quest, then the loot room is more "treasure vaulty".
This would incentivize questing, in addition to making things like Lucky Looter better overall (and less overpowered, in general).
I also think that it would make a lot more sense to find destroyed or deteriorated stuff as primary loot. After all, this is an apocalypse, finding pristine unopened M60s somewhere people lived makes little sense. (If I were the house owner and the FedEx guy dropped off my Shotgun Messiah create you'd damn well better believe I'm chopping that thing open right away. And if I'm the FedEx guy and I drop a Shotgun Messiah crate off and no one signs, you better damn well believe I'm coming back by in a week or two to see if anyone opened it... If not, that thing may just find its way back on my truck...)
Base building is more than just reinforcing an existing POI.
Appreciate it but I have no idea what to do with this. I thought it was a Quests.xml edit or something.
I just did the day 28 horde and the water tower is still standing. They didn't even scratch it.
Will that water tower continue to survive while you plan your base? You did say that it will take you weeks.
There always have been ways to cheese the hordes or otherwise go without a base. That doesn't mean that it is unnecessary (at least, not any more so than in past alphas).
It usually takes weeks but if one tower is broken I can take others.
That I have difficulty finding a concept with these self-imposed restrictions shows that the base itself is no longer important. You can stand on any stable POI and just shoot down and throw grenades. As long as the POI can last enough for one horde, you can simply take the next POI for the next horde.
He plays on warrior difficulty, so his day 35 horde is my day 70 horde. And thanks to forgetting exlir you can change class at any time. That's exactly what the player did before the horde.
These things have been true for multiple alphas. People have used a fortified ranger station as a horde night place since I joined. That is not a problem or change for A18.
Let's not swap apples for oranges. Will it work for that player on his day 70?
"No fancy base"? We must have different definitions. He said he nearly got breached (and required a half day of repair), and it isn't done because he needs to add all kinds of traps. I'm not sure how that proves your point.
