Shadowlz posted:Are there any bases with a generator built in? I remember seeing a sweet looking boat base in some concept art that was suppose to have one, but I couldn't find it in game There's at least one more, the County Fairgrounds, which is bigger than Snyder Trucking but is way off in the north side of the map, and also can't be accessed until a certain plot event happens

I just moved my base into west Marshall and started breaking down my old outposts so I can set up traps along all major avenues near home. I'm going to have the whole neighborhood trapped, possibly something near the bridge into east Marshall and the highway as well. I like having the expanded storage for food, medicine and supplies, but moving up wiped out my stock of materials and getting things together is going to take some time. Almost lost Lily's brother (Jacob?) and Sam trying to get supplies from a trade because we got caught by a horde. And my yoga master is missing, so I suppose it's okay that I haven't built a new training area. Is there any advice or recommendations about who should get what Specializations and Utilities skills and whatnot? Almost everyone I use has maxed Fighting, but things like Wits and Shooting are still low. Do you only get one kind of specialization, or can you get, say, a Fighting Specialization and a Shooting Specialization?

Just have to say that I've already gotten more enjoyment out of this $20 download than I have some $60 full priced games. Technical shortcomings really melt into the background when the gameplay is this compelling - I really appreciate games that offer me real player agency in this day and age where so many games just guide you down scripted corridors.

From what I've read you can also turn the courthouse into a base? Anyone else done this?

Shadowlz posted:Anyway I stopped playing until the new patch hits. I'm sick of no one standing guard on the tower and letting zombies in and I'm sick of "Too many infestations" from infestations across the map. Also, what's the deal with traps? I set one, and now I can't set any more at any other base? The trap icon is red, despite having plenty of influence and materials and the trap progress bar being full.

coyo7e posted:Is that a glitch, the tower thing? I had snipers in my tower for the first day or so but once Alan went one the medicine mission with no cars allowed with me, I don't think I've seen anybody up in the tower sniping since. It has been a bit worrisome. Yeah, that's a bug, if you look at the roster you'll see people who are assigned to stand guard duty and they're supposed to be stationed on the watchtower shooting zeds who get too close to the base. There's currently a glitch where they'll stop doing this after a while, making the watchtower completely useless at the moment. It'll be fixed in the next patch. Also, using the 'set traps at outpost' command traps all of your outposts at once. e: So, the end of the Law/Judge Lawton plotline was really loving awful, abrupt, and anticlimactic. You work with them a little bit and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the Judge and the Sheriff are instantly killed offscreen and that's the end of it. Someone else posted the same thing happening to them, which indicates that it's scripted, and that's terrible. I'd be fine with it if they could die from a dynamic attack or something, but instead the game just arbitrarily kills them once X amount of game time has passed.

Bahaha, I started a new game and managed to immediately bring all of Damian and his crew to the church immediately, and he's already friendly. Marcus is a heavy weapons and 22 revolver powerhouse and running on meth with packs of construction materials, so I give him a breather and escort Virginia on a trade run. Along the way we pass a billboard that I climb to survey the landscape, and as I'm looking around, Damian remarks, "now there's somewhere we want to visit! "A gun shop? Awesome!" I think. Nope. It's a trailer park.  Mister Bates posted:Also, using the 'set traps at outpost' command traps all of your outposts at once.

I have been vocally critical of this game, but I have to say it's won me over at this point. It really is goddamn fun to play and has a pretty awesome sense of exploration and danger despite it's flaws. I am still having a lot of trouble with the objectives and the mission system though. It's just obnoxious and stressful getting constantly loving hammered with objectives I can't even figure out how to activate every time I decide to go off on my own for 5 minutes. Like, I still can't figure out what this game wants from me at all. There are always problems I don't know how to fix (people are mad at each other, infestations etc.). I still don't even know how to activate side missions because clicking on them in the menu seems to do nothing. It's very frustrating.

They're activated when you find out about them basically though, you can do them or not do them at that point. Story missions never time out but regular ones will eventually. Seems like side missions get you in touch with new survivor groups which can get you new members or supplies or if they're at your base then they'll help you keep morale up or keep people from leaving.

Do they show up on the map if it isn't a main story mission? Also, I never know which ones are time sensitive. There are always missions in that gigantic backlog of stuff to do, but I can't figure out how to activate them. Clicking on them in the mission log does nothing and there is nothing telling me if I have failed a mission or not.thebardyspoon posted:They're activated when you find out about them basically though, you can do them or not do them at that point.

I'd recommend not setting up base at the Farmhouse. It's kind of out of the way, so you can't quickly pop in and out for supplies. That, and it's surrounded by large open fields with little cover that make it really easy for zombies to see you, and swarm the base - which they did constantly for me. I've got the option to do the endgame now, but I'm not ready, I'm still having fun. I agree that the side quests and storylines just seem to end, for no reason and with little resolution.

Yeah, everything shows up on the map. The only things that are not time limited are scripted missions, everything else expires. The infestations thing you were talking about is a bug/stupid design decision they're fixing in the next update, right now they get pissed if there are more than a couple houses anywhere on the map. e: NESguerilla posted:Clicking on them in the mission log does nothing and there is nothing telling me if I have failed a mission or not. homeless snail fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Jun 8, 2013 |

Except for stuff at the base where you need to talk to someone, I think; those you just have to know to go home and check out. Find the location (either a circle or a person symbol) on the map and click it to make it active. You may not fail them immediately. Lily will radio to say something like "Looks like the opportunity has passed" and you'll see a "  - X" message in the upper right corner.

How do I get rid of the infestations? I have wiped out every infestation I am aware of on the map, and yet Lily is always saying there are too many infestations, blah blah blah and I get the -5 or -10 morale points and then somebody runs away again because running into the middle of the loving town is clearly safer than living out of The Alamo

Someone in the thread mentioned earlier that infestations spawn back at the ranger place in the north. Might be worth checking there if you haven't just to make sure? And yeah, it's a bug they're working on.

Sometimes there will be an infestation at an undiscovered location. One of the construction houses in the first town was infested but since I never discovered it I couldn't see it on the map. Fields can be infested as well and unless you drive through them they're probably "undiscovered".

So holy poo poo Sam is a monster. She's got that "reflexes" trait that lets her get the sweep kick to replace her regular kick, and so far as I can tell that is pretty much an "everyone around you falls down when you push y" with no chance to resist. She can clear out infestations pretty much single handed now, it's ridiculous. Also, to what extent are the survivors randomized? I know the people at the church are always the same but I've got some dude named Grady who is a good cook, would everyone that runs into a dude named Grady have the exact same guy? Does it pull from a batch of premade survivors and seed the area randomly?

Also had one mission for Rebecca who when I returned to her house, it was full of zombies and she in up joining the group.

It seems like there's a mix of set and randomized, considering there's an Achievement for doing something with Becca and Quentin from The Grange. Also, what is up with that spot? It just seems to be constantly swarmed with zombies whenever I go there.

Anyone know if there's an effort among the developers to fix stuff like the stuttering, bad LOD pop ins(this may actually be related to the stuttering) and horrible screen tearing? They're really the only huge bummers for me with this game at the moment. I feel like I should have just waited for the PC version. I wonder, did some clever hackers out there ever figure out how to get an SSD working as the 360's internal drive? I feel like SoD would benefit from a high speed drive pretty drastically. Just formatting one and plugging it in via USB seems like it'd be pretty restrained by the USB bandwidth. cat doter fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jun 8, 2013 |

I just finished the story, but the point of the game isn't the story. The only achievement I need is the "badass" one, but it's not unlocking, despite the fact that I used Maya for nearly every single job or task. People on the Undead Labs forums are speculating that there's a bug where it won't unlock with Maya - has anyone else had this problem?

This game is great. I just completed it and immediately went back in just to survive and do some random missions. For anyone else near the endgame: After you finish the main story and the credits roll you can continue playing that save from right before the final mission. At some point I will definitely restart but this is just a lot of fun to play. I hope co-op gets the green light immediately.

drat, first time I ever killed a juggernaut without using a car or losing a survivor. That one was pretty interesting since he was wandering the field near the farm and while I saw him eariler, I ignored it since I hated fighting them, until the game gave me a quest to kill it with a alley. At that point it's hard to ignore unless I rather not have that person die.
