PC Will cities ever be scary again?

I wasn't playing back then. But I agree, making the cities the dangerzone would be cool. For example, staying in one place for too long triggers a horde rush.

Agree on making cities more dangerous and hazardous. They could find a way to raise the density and respwan rate of Zs in urban areas (if there isnt already something ajustable in the xml files). But i disagree on spawing a (mini) horde when standing too long in the same spot. One of the main feature of this game is of course building a solid hideout to withstand Blood moons. You have to stay in one consolidated base, you cant really be on the run without having a permanent stash of resources and facilities to sustain your survival.

 
Generally speaking, I really roll with the punches regarding all the changes from alpha to alpha, and mostly across the board, I'm one who's pretty happy with where the game is at and going.
One thing I really miss though from back in the A14-15 days was how dangerous cities were. Cities felt like a real goal to go after. You'd start out in the middle of nowhere, search for a small neighborhood to loot to get started, move up to a town, take some time getting better, then finally go after a city.

Back then, trying to rush into a city meant absolute, certain death over and over at low level. That, to me at least, really made the work to get good gear and get better really pay off when you finally walked into the city and held your own. You'd sneak around, dodge dogs, snipe cops, but you had to respect the threat it all posed, even if it was sort of a cheap threat from sneaky dogs.

I feel like that's totally gone now. Cities don't feel dangerous at all, and often, early game is just about racing to find one, hide on top of a store for a couple nights, then get right to looting. Has there been any talk bringing some danger level back to the cities at all? Or are there any mods that try to make that happen?

I 100% agree! That used to be so much fun. Get all geared up for a city raid. Now... Meh.
