You did not say which map you were using. The main one of all of the RG maps.
This just in, according to Roland you can get the DLC that's on the way by purchasing the season pass. Don't worry about the rest of the text I omitted that was just filler. RABBLE!
Id buy the season pass if it contains emotionally stirring content such as
Seeing as how any of the dungeon pathways can be bypassed in a number of creative ways and also given that there is freedom to enter any POI at any player created entry point I’m going to have to call you out on this ridiculous statement.
Shoehorned: Forced into an unnatural space.
I don't know. If there are zombies in the house they had to get in there some way, so a path isn't that inconceivable. Also, the people using the home as a base would have a way in and out. Seems more natural if the doors are bared and blockaded. I mean it doesn't make sense for every house or building, but some would. With signs of looting from other (no longer) survivors, they would make paths getting things from the buildings they searched.
Have to completely disagree with you. POIS NOW are completely boring. This will bring some flavor, especially if they are gamestaged and can be different each time.
Oh I will get around the intended path, What would be better is to have it randomized. and when i see a house exterior I dont say, ok there is a loose floorboard in the bedroom on level 2.. and a toxic gas trap when i enter tbe basement and turn left.That's a shoehorn.
If you don't want to come up with creative ways around / outside the "normal" path... that really is on you. =P
But what if the layout and zombies are so tough that it takes several attempts to go through it. Then they take longer, and if there are 20 plus new ones it adds to the life of the update. Everything become passe at some point of course. The people that want to just nerd pole to the attic still can if they like.
See that operative word up there? It was the first word in your definition that invalidates your whole point. I highlighted it for you so you wouldn't miss it on your re-read. I'm glad you were able to look up the definition of "shoehorned" so you can abandon it as your metaphor. As I already pointed out there is nothing "forced" about them. How exactly will they "get old fast" if you can use crafted ladders, frame blocks, and/or chop your way around them at your whim? You really prefer bare rooms in which every sleeper is immediately noticeable? This is your definition of creepy and scary? If nothing else the added clutter and blind corners will make the sleepers a bit more of a scary experience.
I dont think im blind. pessimistic, yes. Your post and several of the others have some good points. I hope I am wrong, honestly. I guess i wouldnt waste dev effort on creating these intended paths thru POIs. Id rather the effort was on more more more pois, with random traps that add to a scary experience instead of adding to predictibility
