SailorWolf

Thank you. I've got to do some farming and was thinking of building a watchtower or something like that. But I always end up looking for trouble like that gun shop in West Point....I want to raid it cause I got all these 233 and 308 rounds but have never found a gun to use them in. As I've said before I love this game I just seem to be unlucky at finding what I need. I like the thought of npc's that might join with you or even be a rival. My only worry is zeds respawns or more how fast they respawn, cause in other games I've played you can clear a house and start to loot and boom there they are lol. I don't play sandbox cause I want to play it as the gamemakers meant it to be after all they put alot of time into making this great game. Lol and as you say if I don't like it I could play sand box.

How many zombies will be in a horde? I've never got to see them so was just wondering how it use to be. It had me thinking maybe setup and stock a couple of backup bases to jump around too unless hordes are say 10 to 15 zeds.

I only joined here cause the Steam forums is full of flamers and trolls and it gets pointless to try to find any useful info. So I came here thinking things would be better and faster. Thank you I understand all forums have rules in place and you might be defending me but I've survived being stabbed twice so I doubt his condescending talk down would hurt much. I'm just use to SoD forums where players who have played a long time are very helpful to new players and if I get a chance I'll be like I am there welcoming new people and helping in any way I can.

Just defending myself and how I play and he talks down to me like I'm stupid when I just started playing. I have a good grasp of the game and what I want to do when when setting up my home base. I haven't been playing since day one like him so yes I'm going to defend myself when being talked down too. Never mind ban me

People who have played the pre-alpha builds and demo knows how insane difficult it was to survive more than a week in PZ because of the hordes of zombies that would destroy your homebase and chase you all the way to hell and back if you didnt put a sheet on a window before going to sleep. I dont know how it took you 2 months to find a trowel, by the first week i have looted all the houses near my safehouse, by the second week i start looting the city and by the third week i am already bored. You should play the new version where you really need an axe to take down a tree insted of bashing it with a crowbar (or a mighty pan in my version), atleast that made it a little more interesting to go and serch for an axe, but insted you can bash down doors with a pan and get planks, easy. But why would you want planks anyway? Barricading is not useful if zombies dont show up at your door, so most of the time you need to bash around a full house worth of doors to get the rain collector and you are set, but if you are smart you just stockpile water the first 3 days and you are set for a month. I dont have luck at all when it comes down to looting, so i just loot everywhere i can to have a chance to find something useful, dont know how you play tho. I'm playing build 28 which is what I got when I bought the game on Steam. With my job and RL I don't have time to test 29 and have it do me or the game makers any good. It's great you've been playing since day one of this game you must be like a freaking master at it. Me I just got the game and love it lol I play it every minute I can and I've been a gamer since Pong in the early days. So please don't talk down to me like a some 5 year old. As for how I play I search and loot everything I see houses,buildings even boxes setting outside. Why do I board up windows ....because it's a ZA and it my way of making sure I'm somewhat safe. I also cover windows and turn lights off when I pick a house I want to make my base. So talk on about me on that too if you like... you act like I'm bashing this game when I'm not. Seem to me if you've been playing it forever you'd try to be more helpful to new players... but maybe that's not your style which I'm cool with me.

I guess some people are lucking out on finding things like a axe or a trowel but it was 2 months in game to find a trowel and over 3 to find a axe. Spent most my time beating down trees with a crowbar so I could make planks. Yes I searched warehouses and sheds but every place I thought to find the tools I needed didn't have them. So I could see how if you are one of the lucky ones who finds everything they need in the first days of the game, would think it was to easy.

Sorry to point this out and all but why give us all the skills to keep us alive and build a cool ZA base to live in....if you want us dead before 2 months has passed? Seems pointless to me unless you are going to start us with piles of lumber, food and weapons at the start.... oh yeah people cried cause they lived to long and got bored. I thought that was the point live in a ZA for as long as you can...my last start I was in the hotel in the thick of zombies and could only find a damn pencil but I survived. If you want to make the game harder you don't need hordes or damn respawns of zeds every 2 minutes...just give the zombies a better grip. Oh here's a endgame for you old age Yes I'm the sailorwolf from steam which I'm blocking any updates to the game so I can keep it as it is now cause I want to fish and build a cool base to live in. I love that about this game it's something SoD doesn't have but sadly this game has no story line/ mode at this time so I don't see a point in endgame talk. I have a little over 100 hours on this game and have got to see myself died like 5 times...I have lived for almost 5 months this time and i'm loving it. Just change that last part to "and this is how you survived" I take risk still my current plan is looting the gun shop...I have a fob set up in West Point it was a long run and hard fought. Setting up a jump point at the trailer park was a crazy battle...It's just my point of view but the game is already as hard as you make it. So if the people crying "i ain't dead yet" are hiding in a house then walk down main street with a butter knife death will find you all soon enough. Yes you want to make a unbeatable game but us as gamers want to beat it and if you make it unbeatable then you will hear crying about that.... welcome to the world of game making. Maybe make a easy normal and hard mode and let us the game player make the choice instead of like every other game maker and just force us to live with all the preteens crying they are bored. Thank you my rant is finished
