Maybe, but honestly, after i had developed my passive base and the horde was no longer a threat to me, the hordenight was in no way a positive gameelement for me, i would really liked to disable it.
+1...
want to skip hordenight ? get a bike, swim in a deep lake, log off if u play on a mp server, set horde to walk and just walk away from them, get a gyrocopter and just watch them from above going crazy
not talking about enjoyment.
and all of those things should be fixed at some point! Same as with digging zombies.want to skip hordenight ? get a bike, swim in a deep lake, log off if u play on a mp server, set horde to walk and just walk away from them, get a gyrocopter and just watch them from above going crazy
there are easy fixes
(you dont refuel cars mid drive, beeing high up in a metal construction while thunder is going on is a BAD idea )
I like killing zombies for xp. I wish the harvesting got some xp love and it will, Mademole has already addressed this.
I like majority of those new aspects too [the survival part of the game], i personally just don't like the bits about base building. The new dungeons especially are great imo [a bit too many but hey better to have too many than not enough i suppose] and vultures can be a right pain [but again, great for the survival part].
Ummm....Then why in the world would I Play a Game if it wasn't for fun or enjoyment??
For me?
You can hate something because it is new, which is not an indicator of it being bad.
Yes, I do. Your point?
No clue what that is supposed to mean
Again, your opinion of which I respect AND happen to disagree with.
Yes you can hate it. But that doesn't mean it's objectively worse.
*too short*I like killing zombies for xp.this is actually something that was in A16 and they wanted to get rid of and failed I wish the harvesting got some xp love and it will, Mademole has already addressed this.I like perks over skill points because there is choice you like to click "buy ranged damage" because you killed 50 zombies more than actually using that bow and gradually getting better at it? We already had skills and perks in A16, they were just better balanced.
Graphics have improved ignoring the horrible distant models for these small branchbushes, agreed100%
The vehicles are awesome yup agreed again
The melee feels better, power attack down combo maybe its because I play on insane, but nothing much changed for me. powerattacks drain too much stamina early and late you either use guns or a normal hit is enough to stagger most enemies, but okay I guess it is a new dynamic that one can like.
Compound bow is awesome it is better than a16, but the crossbow is 10x worse
SMG feels better cant comment
POI's are incredible, Dungeons hella unbalanced and highly unrealistic. but if you think the gameplay is worth the loss in immersion than be my guest
Vultures are cool spawns are broken, they existed in A16, their attack movements are more like hummingbirds while you strave backwards and they can turn around in insane angles
Trader is better, more stuff for sale, less selling exploits to get your rich fastwhile I do not feel he is better (because weapons and removal of parts completely broke prices) he has more stuff and less exploits (LESS not none
Quests will be awesome when they are balance, again mentioned already by MM. Actually has been changed already in a test build there are only really 3 quests, and while nice, are only a very very thin backbone for a more complex system to follow. but yes I agree it is kinda cool.
Mods are cool. Just used the flaming mod on my sledge hammer, its sick! yes. sadly this came at the cost of natural progression with gunparts and quality ranges of only 1-6 which dont do much besides quality and slots, oh and coloring your weapon gives it damage!
Spikes are improved really?
Level gates are back, They are a good way to handle progression, much better than RNG they are an archaic system. They are NOT good. they are better than nothing, but not good. I can give you 5 systems off the top of my head that are not rng and not levelgates that do this job better and less restricting!
MP is so much improved it's not even funny getting 12x the xp a soloplayer gets (with 4 people) is NOT an improvement. Other changes are landclaimblock and smaller world. How is it better? I'm 100% serious.
Group xp is a game changer it truely is... but I think we might use that world in a different context.
Running through a POI with your friends is hectic and exciting for the first 5-10 times, after that you know where every zombie hides or simply make noise and lure them out. If you do not do this and still feel it fun after the 15th dungeoncrawl, have my respect. But I doubt most players will enjoy that for very long.
Enough with the rotten egg stuff. You stating totally subjective opinions as facts and dismissing anyone that likes Alpha 17 out of hand. People have different opinions on the game. I understand that of you, you should return that respect.
I know this sounds condescending. And I do not want it to be. But I am not a very good people person, so I'll say it the only way I know how:
If a kid comes to me and tells me that there are unicorns, sasquatches, the loch ness monster and that there are nazis on the moon and he respects my opinion to NOT believe that, I do not return that respect. I think I was fair in this post, granting you that some parts can be fun, but for everything you mentioned I could tell you a gamebreaking feature or a removed mechanic or a thing that is tedious just to slow down the game.
I don't think I'm better than you or anyone. But I do think that my view on this game holds a certain objective weight that can not simply be discredited by saying "opinion".
And to give you the absolute proof of me trying to be as fair as possible:
Todays reviews were 50/50 which is a big increase in postive reviews, which might signal the return of positive reviews and all that I said about it beeing 30% positive is discredited.
But I am super tired now, so good night and I hope you do not think I am an arrogant prick because I think some of my opinions hold more weight than some others.
Sorry to shorten your original text, but I'm tired but wanted to leave you with this:
Those dead branchy things bothered me in A16, and they bug me even more in A17 because they stick out even more against the good graphics. It's like they are missing a middle ranged stage in the LOD models for these. Once you start looking at them, it gets worse.
Funny you say this, when the only way to have a base that really works in A17 is to exploit the hell out of the AI and how it paths. Otherwise they just tear everything down in minutes. I build a base in that big brown church, I build my base near the cieling with a hatchevator outside up to a hole in the roof, I knock out the back stairs, all zombies now only come in from the front, which I then hve a zig-zag maze, of barbed wire, and walls, leading to a ladder they can get to me with. Result? they follow my path exactly, and cause virtually 0 block damage. if I didn't do this, they'd just level the entire building. So were kinda forced to exploit the AI in a17 with how its currently setup.
