Does anyone know if Alan gets over his sickness? Maya was sick to the point where I got the Mercy Kill mission but I ignored it and she got better. Just wondering if I ignore Alan long enough, will he get better too? Has anyone else tried living at the Fairgrounds? I moved there yesterday and those drat fences are annoying...

RE: Fairgrounds I found the following interesting changes in Title Update 2: • Removed several sections of fencing around warehouse near fairgrounds to improve navigation for missions in the area. • Made it easier to navigate fairgrounds in vehicles. This should make living at the Fairgrounds easier.

Fwoderwick posted:Changing topic, how far are people sending out scavengers? I've basically only been sending people into the immediate vicinity around my homebase because I've been worried about their safety if they go further. Can I send people to the other side of the map without too much trouble? The frustrating part is that I go help the runner defeat the hoard (or whatever) and then they continue to run on to their destination, while I drive ahead/behind mowing down zombies. It would be so much easier if they could hop in the car so I could drive them to the location. coyo7e posted:I just wish I could figure out where all my loving snacks keep vanishing to, the number fluctuates pretty wildly. Athanatos posted:About the end: Is it suppose to be a mystery what is on the other side of the gate? I didnt even get a chance to rotate the camera before someone said "oh my god what do we do now?" and it ended. Can you see something on the other side?

Rapacity posted:I really want to try a bit of a challenge for this new play-through because, cool as it is, it is very easy. I think the most reasonable one is no vehicles except for missions requiring them and for distant transportation but has anyone thought of anything novel?

Dirty Karma posted:No lie, that pisses me off. Thing is, though, this was never said. (Or if it was, please provide a link.) From what I understand, and everyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, high sales was only one of several factors that had to fall into place before co-op mode would even be considered. Once their internal sales targets were met, then they would have a discussion with Microsoft about the possibility of adding co-op. At this point MS probably gave them the go ahead to explore this possibility and it was only recently (i.e. the last few days) that it was determined that co-op would be a no go. At no time was there ever a promise to add co-op. Though, I suppose some of the dev’s enthusiasm about the possibility may have led some to the wrong conclusion.

The Outpost Q&A has been posted. Some interesting things in there that I was totally oblivious to... After reading some of the answers, with a small enough population, in a large enough base, and proper outpost distribution/resource gathering, I think it might be possible to create a self-sustaining community.

You have to call it in like any other favor and a marker appears in your inventory (but only if you have room for it) that you toss like a grenade. A few seconds later, everything explodes. Oh, and run away is right. I dropped one of those things on a Juggernaut and I was in the AoE when it hit. ~80% HP damage!

When I went from Breakdown Level 1 to Level 2, I didn't see an option for picking who I wanted to bring with me. As a result, I only brought my active character and left everone (including the two Hero characters I recruited) behind. At what point of the process of activating the RV and moving on does the option appear to pick who I want to bring with me? Also, did anyone else notice that uncompleted challenges reset to zero when going to the next level...or was I the unfortunate victim of a bug?

Tibeerius posted:This took me a while to figure out as well (and I even watched the livestream!). Once you make the decision to load up the RV, you need to talk to the people you wish to carry over; an option will be added to their usual dialog choices. You can load up something like 6 survivors. People who are already on the RV have their portraits updated in the notebook interface, where you can also choose to pull them off the RV in case you change your mind. Tibeerius posted:The game explicitly warns you about this when you choose to "move on".

Undead Sanya posted some commentary on the re-use of voices in Breakdown.Undead Sanya posted:Most of you know that Breakdown was made entirely before we saw any income from the success of State of Decay. As such, we had to make a new, fun DLC out of assets we already had. That's why the map is reused, why most of the objects are recycled, why the new characters are existing NPCs, etc.

Two questions: 1. When I have more survivors than beds, Lily occasionally declares that we need more beds and some people are already talking about leaving. Has anyone ever had a survivor leave due to insufficient bed space? 2. When a Mercy Shot mission is generated, if I leave it alone what happens? I heard that there is a 50/50 chance that the person will recover on their own OR turn into a zombie and eat 2 – 3 survivors before being put down. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

DLC 2 has been announced: Selected quotes from Sanya in the thread: - TLDR: New map. I mean, we're just not sure if that was something anyone wanted. The gameplay is also different, and we'll go into details on that as soon as Geoffrey feels like everything is sufficiently locked down. Couple weeks, I think. - The new one does not integrate with Breakdown or the original. It's got a new way to play the game that I suspect some of you are going to really really really like. - Yes, TU5 is coming with the expansion.

From this this thread, we know what Lifeline will NOT have:Sanya posted:So, people who don't know anything about video games often think a community weenie's job is creating hype. It...can be? But a much bigger part of the job is about crushing your dreams. Or, as I'm supposed to call it when I'm talking to players, "expectation management." And from this thread we know that Lifeline will have Sanya posted:...only one base on the new map (and that will make perfect sense when Geoffrey describes the gameplay, don't worry). But it's a brand new one you've never seen before, with ten facilities. There is currently a contest to guess the new base with the following options to choose from: A) A rural manor house surrounded by corn fields B) A small-town landing strip barricaded by wrecked airplanes C) A hastily-erected military installation on the outskirts of a burning city D) An abandoned industrial yard full of derelict machinery

Geoffrey, the lead developer of Lifeline, has reponded to some questions & comments: (the bolded parts below are the names of the forum members Geoffrey is responding to) Hey, guys! Thanks for all the positive feedback! I'm about to dive into a ton of hard work finishing up Lifeline, but hearing your enthusiasm makes it all totally worth it I think there are a few questions I can answer without spoiling future design articles too much ... King of AR "Will we be able to assign soldiers to certain positions?" We want to avoid micromanagement, and let you focus on the action ... so Chris Willoughby has been adding some cool new behaviors to the soldiers' AI to make them independent. They take up defensive positions with their guns, and then rush in to help each other when the zombies break through the lines. "What size will our starting group be?" You'll have at least a trio of well-developed characters, as you did at the beginning of the original game. Plus a bench of randomly-selected soldiers that you can deepen by rescuing stranded Army units. We'll go into more detail about the characters in a future article ... "Will any new skills be added?" We're making a few tweaks. More on that when we discuss base facilities ... Thunder Ice One of our goals with Lifeline is to create a denser story made up of moral and strategic choices with real consequences. The brass isn't going to pull you out of Danforth for a single mistake ... but they also didn't send you in there for R&R. The knowledge that you can actually succeed or fail at your broader mission adds greater weight to all your decisions, and makes it really a huge deal when you successfully extract one of your high-value assets. It's unlikely that anyone will have a "perfect" run through the first time. So we're going for a dense and fast-paced story, with a lot of variation, to make it interesting to jump back in and try again for the "best" outcome, no matter what happens your first time through. Fayd It's great to hear your passion about the military — and it's a very familiar sentiment around here. I haven't been in the service myself, but several members of the team have, and we reached out for all the best advice we could get to make the story and setting as authentic as possible. Primus While defending your new base against the horde is one of our most exciting new features, it isn't the entire game. You'll still be enjoying the old-school State of Decay experience, exploring neighborhoods, helping survivors, ransacking houses, sneaking up on zombies, etc. GTigers55 You're definitely going to be driving around in Lifeline. The map is smaller, but it's not that small. Bond Servant You could always keep your weaker members safe! Throwing them in the meat grinder was your decision In Lifeline, you do need to protect them, but if you succeed, they get extracted ... so they're not dead weight on your community.

Alpha build of the Lifeline map can be found in this thread. Here's a few minutes of gameplay posted by IGN: link. Some Lifeline commentary by IGN: link. There is a 17 minute video posted on YouTube (which I can't find at the moment) that has extensive gameplay. The sound quality isn't the best but it sounds like drones are going to be a thing in Lifeline. There is also a least one new vehicle, a militarized version of the modern pickup. It seems like the centre of the city is totally infested and cannot be accessed but there are so-called Danger Zones that continually spawn zombies while you're in the area. An easy way to level up/kill off characters. In the video for which I cannot find the link, an undergound tunnel was shown with wall-to-wall car wrecks & zombies. And a mission spawned down there. Spooky! Oh, and generators. Generators have been (re)added.
