I think we have the same DNA! I forgot I left my 7d2d character online until he lost over 80 wellness, but he didn't die! Is that a bug?
Dude, it's not going to be some profound secret. Players will find out easily that if they only managed to upgrade half of the wall before the horde night started, zoumbies attacked the other half.
I'm counting on it to get more advanced
, I have no doupt in Faatal's competence.That is good to hear. (must have missed that bit)
If i had some videos form MM, I might not be "following the AI development so closely". I'll take whatever fix i can
I see your point, but im sorry man, its not an exploit or "playing the AI and not the game." It's just strategy, otherwise any defense you set up is an exploit or "playing the AI and not the game" because on horde nights, they come for you, wherever you are, so you bait them to the strength of your defense.
You are speaking from your own experience with 100s or perhaps 1000s of hours with the game. Based on the number of people who ask for help in this forum, in youtube comments, and in the ingame chat, the secret of the current much more simplistic AI is a pretty profound secret to the average new player who hasn't read a scrap of any Developer Diary information and is frustrated trying to survive past the first few days let alone the first blood moon horde.
I don't think it will be too easy. I don't play the game for the Night Horde Defense, not because it wouldn't be fun, but because I cant generate enough resources to engage the night horde zombies and continue playing the way I do in the daytime.
I didn't instinctively think this. I just thought they would attack any and every block (closest to your position at first) until they eventually collapsed the building you were hiding on.
What's interesting is that if we were watching a movie or reading a book about a guy who woke up in a zombie apocalypse after being in a coma and he found some helpful survivors and one of those survivors said, " We discovered months ago that the zombies favor doors so we always use tunnels with camouflaged entrances. We think they must have some residual knowledge from before they were infected that makes those bastards instinctively seek out doors." -- we would then accept that exposition as the way the universe of the movie worked and happily watch the rest of the movie without thinking that those survivors were being cheap exploiting recognizable zombie behavior. (In fact, it is inexplicable why the characters in TWD never routinely rubbed guts on themselves whenever going out since they learned early on that it worked...)
I think the underlying issue here is how smart are the Zeds supposed to be? This tie back into the lore of the game. If the zombies are brain dead 100% and just go after 'smell' or 'sound' simple stuff then we can assume the zombies are dumb and will attack anything they feel in-front of them.
I would first dig trenches from lakes and flood their bases, of course. I'm a Zombie... I got time.Here's another question for those who are concerned that too-smart zombies will harm the game....
When the feature is implemented that makes it so that players who die come back as zombies and you play on a server with that feature toggled on, would you act like a dumb zombie to preserve the immersion factor of the game for the remaining survivors or would you use all your faculties to try and kill the still living players....?
TWD zombies wouldn't even be a threat without the ppl in the show consistently being stupid and not paying attention to their surroundings. Here lets walk into this room without even being halfway cautious and just walk in.. zombie food!. Hey! lets walk around this corner, as tight as possible, instead of as wide as possible.. zombie food!. Hey! lets go to the city where the highest population counts used to be at.. zombie food! on and on..What's interesting is that if we were watching a movie or reading a book about a guy who woke up in a zombie apocalypse after being in a coma and he found some helpful survivors and one of those survivors said, " We discovered months ago that the zombies favor doors so we always use tunnels with camouflaged entrances.

But in games, we don't want to be bored by predictable enemy behavior.
