It's a great game. But it's also true that it's just kind of goofy that it's been in an unfortunately janky alpha state for ten goddamned years.

Holy shitballs. I mean I've been enjoying the game since I bought it but I had no idea it's been in the works for a decade. Lots of fun and I don't regret it, just had no idea.

I think they should had make a sequel when they decided to completely revamp the whole system and graphic. Some older stuff they took away was a different style of fun on its own.

Just shove out the game and immediately announce a sequel that was just the game with more updates? That would've been suicide. Unless you mean just tacking on a 2 on the name of the existing game, lol. Galaga Galaxian posted:I got one, but it was taken after we'd collapsed the center tower. Also, drat, look at this poo poo from 10 years ago. lol

So i decided to start a non DF regular 7days run without creative mode on so I could experiance the game as it was intended. I did make it easier for me, higher xp gain and loot, zombies only walk normally, horde night jog, they do less damage to blocks but that's about it. Pretty darn fun. I still die if i aggro too many or end up being caught in the corner. It is pretty agonizing how long it takes to get some skills, like i've been sitting around at 9 clubs and i need 10 to make a baseball bat, so i've been going through every POI in the town near where I set up camp trying to find crack a book boxes hoping for the magazine about clubs. . I was struggling with arrows at first, but i keep finding iron heads so i have been able to make about 100 of them so far. I should put some skill points into archery because i assume that lets you recover more arrows? I played until I got to my first horde night. Build what I've seen Neebs build, a cobblestone staircase with a hatch lid at the top to block the zombies that get to the top. Armed with a pipe pistol and MG i was ready. I realized I had way more time than I thought so I set up a bunch of wooden spikes up. I just build a forge but I didn't want to waste iron on building spikes I'll have to remove because I'll expand the base before day 14. I never used wooden before, with creative mode I'd just lay down iron and concrete, but the wood did the trick. They did break really quickly, but they thinned out the horde and slowed them down enough for them to take them out. Though i put them on each block leading up to where I am, and the zombies just attacked the stairs not tried to get up. I wonder if thats due to the spikes on the stairs, it told the zombies ai that the direct path to me was blocked so they attacked the bottom. I'll ignore the spikes for the next time. The worst part is food. Holy poo poo i'm eating 10 grilled meat every 20 minutes, its brutal. Every food I find is instantly eaten. I only found out after I was playing that running drains your food. I figured it was like the other games where water is drained by running not food, which normally is consumed by healing.

Bought this recently to play with some friends, and drat does it scratch an itch for me. It's the right combination of survival sim, looter, builder, but not too punishing with permadeath or nonsense like no maps or overly obnoxious inventory management.

Slow News Day posted:https://twitter.com/7DaystoDie/status/1751277387965161675 One of the funnier things I found at some point was a house that had been loaded up on a trailer to be moved to another location. Because I am a terrible person and just wanted to watch the digital world burn I broke like 8 steel blocks that made up the "jacks" and the house crumbled into rubble.

I think the overwhelming majority of players do not use any total overhaul mods, and I'd bet that even lightweight mod usage (like HUD stuff) is pretty minimal. Besides, they say they're releasing the console version this year, and I'm unsure if mods are available to console players at all. Still, I wish they would focus on stuff like bandits. I think some kind of "intelligent" enemy that shoots back, takes cover, uses suppressing fire etc. would add tremendous depth to the game. Especially if you have regular bandit raids on your base where some bandits target you while others focus on wrecking your stuff and stealing poo poo from your chests etc. I might be describing a totally different game but a man can dream.

the POIs are the real meat of this game so as many as they want to add, that's great for me

I mean, the issue is that once you clear a POI for the first time, subsequent clears feel extremely repetitive. They should have come up with a POI randomization algorithm that dynamically builds POIs from small bits and pieces. Hell, they have so many now that they could probably utilize machine learning to make new POIs and then have their designers review them and make corrections.

I am getting near the end of content from my SP run. The map I choose seems to be an older one so its missing a bunch of POIs i know from the default map, like there's no Crack a Book HQ or the Big Pharma company building. The towns are basically all shitballs and there's literally 1 crack a book on the map. I think it predates the A21 book changes so thats why its lacking book stores. Even the houses don't have a lot of book shelves. I only managed to max out my skills due to doing a circut every 5 days of the larger houses which had a decent number of bookshelves. Also my Horde base seems really effective. Its just a staircase that leads to a line of blocks that are lined with blade traps and lead to a bunker with 2 layers of steel blocks and a cage on top. I haven't even been closed to killed why using it and I'm coming up to day 70. Even Bomb Guys aren't an issue. a clear line of fire with an m60 and the blade traps just shreds anything coming at me. But yea, playing no cheat mode made me learn a lot about how the game works, and this really is one of the best survival crafting games out there. One of the big things I got into was using vehicles, because i could jsut hit H and fly around, i never bothered, but honestly, a motorbike is way better than that.

The game is very easy and kind of boring in the default difficulty. I'd suggest increasing it to Warrior or above. Turning down loot abundance, and setting loot refresh to something more realistic like every 30 days, also makes a huge (IMHO positive) difference. My default these days is Warrior at 50% loot, refreshing every 30 days. I also have the Harsher Death Penalties mod that retains debuffs (broken limbs, infection, etc.) after death, so I can't just cheese them out by committing suicide. This adds consequences to various gameplay decisions and also forces me to change priorities to address debuffs immediately as opposed to treating them as mere inconveniences. Totally changes the gameplay experience.

I really, really enjoy this game but their content/update production pace is pretty terrible, yeah. I guess that's why it's still in a very rough alpha state after nearly a decade.

Yea, Bandits will be pretty cool. I'm also intrested in this new armor system too. Though I'm worried it won't just be boosts, but you will need to have the right armor for what you're doing.

gently caress off with this poo poo. Even as much game as I’ve gotten out of 7D2D, I have no trust at all with that team with early access games. Where’s our raiders? NPC’s? All we got this build is a new Dire Wolf??? And boy howdy, thanks for abandoning my console version somewhere in A16. No, I’ll happily wait this one out.

yeah I don't have a big urge to buy the game again, I already bought it, kind of baffling what the product actually is there e: oh I see, you can pvp and play the zombie side, that's kind of interesting - not something I think I'd ever do these days but it's neat Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 18, 2024 |

Hey you never know, maybe they will redo the skill system to be even more obtuse and grindy, maybe they realized air is too easy and make you start crafting gas masks and oxygen tanks.

Their claim appears to be that they're not the primary devs and they just did some support work for the team actually making the game, but it's probably not a good look when peoples' immediate reaction to your new game reveal is angry cries of "finish the first game before trying to repackage and sell it" and forcing you into explanations.
