How far into the game can you start to do your own thing and ignore missions? I'm at the part where you first get to the church and you have to go get medicine for your sick friend. I can't do safehouse upgrades or anything yet. Great game for $20 so far.

ImpAtom posted:I ignored it for a long time without consequence but I can't say for sure that it has no consequence for ignoring it. You shouldn't need to feel rushed though. Okay cool thanks. How long are the nights in this game in real time? I was surprised by how long it was dusk at the start of the game.

Eponymous posted:This might be a dumb question, but is there some way to bring along NPCs with you while you're exploring the world? I kind of feel like the game is asking too much of me, and it'd make more sense if I was supposed to have to other guys helping to drop zombies. I was wondering this too

What do you guys think the best place to relocate your base to, the warehouse in Marshall? Is it even worth switching bases? I'm dreading collecting 50+ resources to relocate and rebuild all the add-ons I have at the Church.

If you choose the Snyder warehouse and surround the base with outposts on every side, is it necessary to upgrade the watchtower? Aside from the shooting bonus for the camp, is the watchtower needed for defense? So far it seems like no zombies can even get close to the warehouse.

Does the workshop actually repair weapons or does it need to be patched? If it does repair, does it repair items in your stash or items in your backpack?

At Snyder warehouse I have built sleeping area, medical area, cooking area, and training area. Should I use the last slot on garden, library or dining area? I'm leaning more between garden and library but it seems like food isn't really an issue right now. I'm also not really sure how important the library or dining area is.

I built a library but it doesn't seem that useful. It just lets you get more upgrades for your level 2 workplaces. I might destroy the library and build another workshop since the one in the warehouse can't be upgraded. I would then make it a munitions workshop. I can't really find any info online about munitions workshop though. Does anyone know what it does?

Cars are kind of an I win button. Yea I haven't even been close to death once in this game because of how powerful cars are. I always have my car close by when I'm on foot.

Basebf555 posted:I guess its a simple thing when you think about it but has any zombie game ever done what this game has done with death being so meaningful? The combination of permadeath and having multiple playable characters is really perfect. Its the missing piece in so many zombie games(every one of them until now actually), I doubt I'll ever be able to go back and play another one. Especially Dead Island, this game really makes those look like poo poo especially when you compare the price tag. Riptide is probably my dumbest, most regretted purchase this year. The most intense thing I've encountered so far happened to me this afternoon. I was looting the Police Station in Marshall so I could make it an outpost when a Horde starting passing by downstairs. The music got so intense (only time I've heard music in game I think.) The horde passed but I actually was nervous for once. One or two stray zombies heard me searching and jumped me upstairs.

Maya went missing in my game for over a day now but no quest has popped up to go find her. Does a quest always appear? She is my second best character so I really don't want her to die.

Basic Chunnel posted:Nah, it points you to where an existing resource is. AFAIK all resources are finite (save for food and fuel, if you've the right facilities and a small group). I shut my first game down as I was a day away from having 0 ammo caches and using the radio to scope out more didn't work, because I had scrounged up everything in the first two towns and the abundant ammo resources in the third town were shut to me. Ah this must be why nothing was popping up on my map while I was still at the Church after a while. I thought it was a glitch. The girl would come over the radio and say she located supplies and nothing would pop up.

Keeshhound posted:Tension is great and all, but is there at least a way to just stop the game? Because sometimes poo poo happens and you can't just keep running from zombies for the next ten minutes. (I ask as someone who doesn't own a 360, in anticipation of the PC version) yea you can pause the game by hitting start

Basebf555 posted:Yea, as they said you can still pause the game. What it does though is cause you to constantly be thinking to yourself, "Am I safe here? Is that a zombie I hear? How close is that zombie, do I have a few seconds to look at my map and get my bearings?" Its a good feeling to finally be back at your home base where you can peruse the inventory and all the survivors status' without worrying about poo poo. Yea I feel like at least for me, that feeling disappeared pretty early on once I started leveling my character and I realized how easy it is to not die. Also just driving cars everywhere.

Mountain Lightning posted:So I've got twenty or so survivors (no deaths so far) and I'm doing Jacob's relocation mission. Most people here agree Snyder's warehouse is the best. You can set up outposts surrounding the base making it basically immune to hordes. It allows you to set up 8 outposts and I think it has the most building slots. It comes with a car repair workshop and a sleeping area. It is surrounded by sites that have building material resources too. The only con is that it is prone to attack when you are first setting up.

One thing I just noticed is that if you spend 1 fuel barrel to increase trap radius around an outpost, it will increase the radius for every outpost you have.

After wasting a lot of materials I have discovered that upgrading to munitions shop allows you to make explosives and incendiaries. It requires a chemistry expert. I was hoping it would allow you to make bullets.

My Maya went missing for 3 days real time and I finally get the quest to rescue her today. I drive her back to base, she rests in the medical tent, and 5 minutes later she is missing again.

This is starting to get stupid. I rescue Maya again but its one of those defend the house while zombies pour in rescues. I get knocked down and have to revive myself for the first time. I make it back to camp and switch to Ed because both Maya and Marcus are injured. 5 minutes later Marcus is now missing...

I could see them adding the ability to loot zombie bodies for items like medicine, ammo, food, and guns. I'm kinda surprised they didn't go down that route to begin with. It would be annoying to loot every body, but they would have to make it instant like in Red Dead Revolver instead of like how it is currently in this game when you loot anything.

I'm having food issues at Snyders. Which should I replace with a garden?: Dojo (have Dojo master) library, or kitchen. I just got a thing at the library that lets other clans use it for 2 ammo. I'm thinking maybe the Dojo though.

sdr782 posted:What causes survivors to go missing? All the sudden Marcus and two other survivors are missing and there are no missions to rescue them. These characters went missing in the span of about 1 hour of playtime. Morale is maximum so I don't think they ran away. Too many infestations bug causes my survivors to go missing.
