Have I just had poo poo luck finding wood because I have 2 and everyone is exhausted because I can't build more beds. I'm running low on health for all the characters I have and it's only getting worse. :psyduck:

It's actually kinda awesome.

edit: Just clocked a construction site. Bet that'll have some.

Marcus died. :smith: I went on a mission to take out a feral zombie. On route I got attacked by something that pinned me down and wouldn't let up.

I can see this bringing about a lot of bad Cannon Fodder memories. RIP Jools and Jopps.

So you have to build up Friendship points with the NPCs before they let you control them, huh? This could be tricky...

Searching a house trying to be all sneaky, like because there was a horde right outside when some sneaky bastard gets the drop on me. Instinctively I kill it only to bring a wave of zombies flooding into the house. Blocked in I leap through the back window and carrying a rucksack I JUST ABOUT make it to a booby trapped outpost before they get me.

Brilliant.

edit: Unless something really changes I think this is the zombie game I've always dreamed of.

Does anyone have a gif of the animation where two groups of zombies rip you into halves? :v:

Also, uh, anyone had luck with fast looting? I keep dropping a can and that seems to catch the attention of five thousand undead in a ten mile radius.

I have a girl with a high looting bonus and I start looting then kinda just tap the speed up button so you get a little burst from it. I may have just been lucky though.

Also had a full on church invasion. Not sure if those randomly happen or if the fella sniping happened to attract a small horde maybe? Still, that was a surprise.

I just got an awesome dude. Looks like Tallahassee from Zombieland and he's a handyman AND a chef AND a bad-rear end jerk.

edit: Just lured a horde to take out a camp of soldiers who just tried to execute some civilians. :haw:

The only way you get credit for that being awesome is if you were playing this the whole time and it was night in-game. Bonus points for pouring rain, though I haven't seen any sort of weather in-game.

Hahaha brilliant! That didn't even enter my mind. It was night time at least.

Every time I try and make it to the second town SOMETHING comes up and I end up just running around the church area. So much to do.

Can you tell how big a potential home will be? I thought the Savini house would be a lot bigger than it was.

Was saving up to move into that large warehouse in the southern town, but gently caress it. Just found a bar. Moving there and drinking myself through the apocalypse.

Even if I do have recovering alcoholics and off the wagon drinkers as survivors.

And a "Foree Electronics" truck. :haw:

Right so on my stockpiles tab I have 7 construction material piles and underneath it says "-24 daily" I take it that's not a minus sign it's more of a, I dunno... Dash next to the number?

And does it add up every in game night or actual night night?

Decided to go to the warehouse for the 8 outpost slots.

I have 4 outposts set in areas with construction materials but I only ever seem to bring in fuel and food. I'm glad it's not a walk in the park but lumber is so essential and I'm thinking it may be easier to just strip the outposts of whatever's in there and just leave them as bare safe zones.

Hahahaha best easter egg in the game so far.

The Vera Cosgrove child care house. "No-one will ever love you like your mother!"

This game is such a beautiful love letter to zombie fans.

edit: Dying is horrifying. I send a wet behind the ears kid out on a simple scavenging run only to find a shed with about 10 zombies in it. He didn't stand a chance and was tore asunder.

Hoping the survival mode just drops you in somewhere random as a random character and you have to find whichever random safehouse Lilly is in. For an added bit of tension have it so you can't use cars until you find her to get the "truck keys" so you may have to sneak across half the map. I'd love that.

About to start my 4th run. I know you never really "lose" but when I suffer devastating losses like just now, 5 hordes converging on me and everyone dying it's pretty hard to bounce back from that with 2 severely injured playable survivors.

I love it!

How does that happen? :psyduck: The hordes got in your base? Did you not have outposts? Where were you? Wherever it was/whatever you did, I may have to do the same in another playthrough because that sounds like it was quite a climax.

I'd just moved to the truck depot so all my outposts were up by the church. Then I didn't play for a couple of days so when I came back everyone was starving, I had no ammo and I just had swarms and swarms of hordes pouring out at me. It was pretty awesome.

I think I'm going to start implimenting my own little house rule with this. No more mashing A to revive myself magically. If I go down I go down and that's that. Just feels a bit like cheating that you have 3 "lives" if you catch my drift there.

I'm having a lot more fun with my house rule of not using the "MASH A TO REVIVE" feature. Makes preparing your character before heading out into the wilderness a lot more interesting. I couldn't recommend it enough.

The first time I played the game I didn't go see the doctor but the game progressed anyway so I'm wondering if I just do the Sgt. Tan(?) Missions can I unlock the final area or do I need to do the courthouse missions too? The fairground always has some great weapons.

Eeer ok, so I just did the mission "in the water" and have spent a few hours waiting for the next story mission to pop up. Have I broken the game or am I missing something?

This is the problem I'm having too. I just don't know what triggers the missions.

Really looking forward to the survival/sandbox mode so I don't have to wait to move my base or open the "3rd island"

Hey radio lady, go to hell. I rescued a poo poo load of survivors and she harps on about "Wow, maybe the army aren't complete shitheads after all." Then she goes back to calling us a gang of cunts.

Yeah, you're getting left behind, ya crank.

Might leave Lifeline for a bit until the issues with followers not attacking is resolved. You pretty much HAVE to have someone with you in that game.

My second play through had me looting gun shops and finding gently caress all. That really knocked me into touch because the game before I set up an outpost in the police station which was rammed full of mad fancy guns. Had thousands of reputation after thay and called in so much resources and guns. Two ends of the specrum there.

Speaking of resources. Trying to get them 25 headshot killstreaks in Breakdown now and I'm running horribly low on ammo. I even went from level 1 breakdown to 4 hoarding bullets but I'm cutting it close here. It's been a huge pain in the arse up to now but it'll be so worth it.

Levels 1 - 6 in Breakdown and haven't found a single assault rifle. I've got shitloads of grenade launchers and fancy LMG's and SMG's but not a single assault rifle. Ah well, maybe next round.

I found an M4 in the first 15 minutes of Breakdown 8 along with an M27 IAR. :v:

Now that we have vehicle storage, I can clear out the helicopter up north and both bridge stashes before I settle my first base.

This is Payday 2 and the card system all over again. :negative:

Also Grenade Launchers don't count towards the grenadier unlock. That's a pain in the dick.

So to get "The Scholar" you have to find a "Good Researcher" right? Is there any easier way to get that besides constantly looking out for other survivors? I've been through about 5 enclaves now, killing them all off because they have naff stats.

I only need it for the all hero achievement and to easily farm a shitload of pipebombs to unlock the grenadier too.
