So for a different topic... :)

How about if reinforced concrete blocks didn't degrade back to concrete blocks, but instead degraded into rebar with say 1500 hps.

But, add in ability to shoot through the rebar.

Subtle change but anyone whos ever busted up reinforced concrete can tell you the rebar is the real pain.

 
Doesn't mean it is, either. Plenty of zombie games where the zombies just keep coming... *yawn*
...and thinking that digging zombies couldn't be gamed easily is foolish. Ald did it in one post and he's never even played a17.

Well, was it A10 or A11 where the zombies briefly dug? I called them my "Excavation Teams" as they cleared away the top soil so I can dig up the good stuff. :)

And so I will do again, I will guild my teams slowly along. Oh, I will pay them, as I'm a fair employer. They just need to give me three pieces of identification and current tax documentation.

 
I appreciate we're given options and modding capabilities. I've played this game in countless ways because of it.

When I'm in the mood to build and relax I shut off z-spawns and crank animals up for a me-vs-wilderness experience. I love this.

Just another plus in my book to add to the already high replay value.

 
Has anyone discussed how the gyrocopter is going to function in its entirety? How is this going to affect pvp/raid servers? Will you be able to just fly on top of peoples' bases? What's the max "altitude" you can fly at? Can you just jump out of the copter mid flight or what? Any info on how this affects raid servers would be appreciated.

265m is approximate max ceiling.

You can jump out in flight, but your gryo will still continue to move at a reduced speed, eventually falling to the ground.

 
What's to stop someone from cheesing horde night and just flying around on the gyrocopter?

What stopped people from cheesing horde night on minibike in A16 or 15? Nothing, and it will be the same in A17. Safe mobile base. :smile-new:

 
I suggest a horde of vultures to replace the horde if the player is above a certain amount of blocks from the floor.

i would suggest random lighting strike on gyrocopter and break engine, if flying too long on horde night

 
I think your key words there are "he's never even played a17"
Also, even if it is possible I dont plan to game them, I like the challenge that is intended. Just like how I currently dont use stilt bases above ground.

Unless you're standing still not doing anything, letting them eat you, anything you do to defend against them is gaming them.

I'm the player, it's not my job to make it difficult.

debuff yourplayerid sprainedLeg

By your definition anything is gaming them.. so if we go by that definition.. I guess I rather enjoy gaming them.. I just don't enjoy using unintended ways around the AI like the current stilt base. I plan to do the same underground, gaming, but not by some method that some would argue is an exploit.
