Dead Smarty
Survivor
Haven't played all week, waiting for 2.6 stable. The poor performance on PS5 got too anoying to keep going so I'm back to an old time favourite poor performer: ASE. Hope it will make me vallue 2.6 better.
How far have you gone this playthrough?

V2.5 until 2.6 is stable release.
Before first death. Play through 1; 2 days Died at night returning in the open. culprit Dog.
playthrough 2; 3 days died at night in the open. Died twice in a row, Culprit Direwolf
and dog team up. Having continuous spawn means, the killers despawn, and a new batch
spawns in their place.
I have redone the spawn timing, for constant entities. I have to watch the time now
because 7 pm even though it is bright, is instant night spawn switch.
Good times are back.

I am working on Scavenger difficulty as I learn, and have basiclly all the easiest setting in use except the Loot and XP bonuses.
It sounds like you are playing on a much harder difficulty setting/custom setup?
My longest recent playthrough, I've reached 38 hours. It's on a public server, so I haven't been the only one progressing the days, but it's up to day 22 I believe, I think 2 or 3 hour days.
To extend the game/slow down my progression, I'm playing solo, not using any guns or explosives or traps, and just playing archery (with the occasional knife kill). But at 38 hours in, I've got my build maxed out, items and skills, and I'm up to tier 6 quests.
I'm not sure how people play for hundreds of days in a playthrough. I'm just filling chest after chest of loot that I don't need or use at this point.

Is your guy max level? What difficulty setting are you playing under? Do you play dead = restart, or something else?
Nah I think I'm level 126, and I think it's on Adventurer maybe. I just wanted an easy-going playthrough so I could give the "sneak archery" playstyle a good try.
I think I've gotten bored of insane-nightmare single-player playthroughs.
As for "dead = restart"... Kinda? I don't really think about it because I don't die.

My dude just reached level 84, but I'm playing scavenger/walking Dead. If I make it to 300th level, then I'll up my game to Adventurer level, and try my luck there, lol. Do you prefer the composite Bow or composite crossbow? I like the ability to 'hold fire' the bow gives, as I can better take aim.
I have never tried such, and with my health, don't think I ever will. What happens with each difficulty level?
I was using bows out of habit, so I ended up crafting over 1,000 steel arrows just before I looted some Legendary Parts.
Currently I'm using both a level 6 compound bow and a level 6 compound crossbow, so I can use both types of ammo.
I think I prefer the crossbow. But they both have strengths and weaknesses.
Crossbow feels better for hip-fire, bow has better iron-sights.
Crossbow deals more damage but doesn't automatically reload, bow automatically reloads.

No, it's not really that it is harder. Highly customized yes. But I had to customize it
to get the environment I wanted. I am playing between Nomad and Warrior, but
mostly focus on Nomad because I am Nomadic in my game play. But the zombies
speed config is based off of Walking Dead and Romero. The fastest speed is Jog
except on Horde night, and if they rage.
They were only ever dangerous in volume. Individually it was like Whackamole. So this
is what I am trying to recreate, while keeping FPS usable. Rocks, crouching, shooting
snakes as distractions, keep me alive. Then I took inspiration from Dying light, for
the night spawn. I just didn't count on it making that much of a change, I'm thinking
of adding some reminder, that 7 pm is coming. Because if I forget, and am far and
heading for a safe point. I might as well get out the chalk and draw my own outline.
To this config I don't mind the dying, because I have plenty of quarters left.
