Its my party
and I'll die if
I want to
I played on the server a few times because I got absolutely murdered my first night because I joined on a horde night.

I was also constable running out of Stam. Two swings and I'd be out and then dead.

Yeah, joining a server when it's the horde night is awful. You just get murdered with no chance to do anything. It's one of the reasons I never liked public servers. I like being in control of my game, and that's why I rent a dedicated server for this game. I'm in full control and always prepared for when the horde comes. Dedicated servers aren't even expensive now, you can get one for only $6 on removed.

i mean sure but you die once and then horde night is over for you, and you're level 1 so there's no death penalty, so you can just start playing as if nothing happened

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Yeah and by the time you have enough stuff to matter you should have a reasonably secure place to log out so it wouldn't matter. I make sure my main base has some kind of backdoor into my horde base setup so I can ensure they don't trash my home. I put everything on the 2nd floor so it's more about convenience than existential fear.

I'll probably just wait for A22 to come out before trying it again.

I watched a bunch of nerds guns and steel 7 days videos but they're just to, clincial i think is the best word for it. Its all "You want to use these things, not those because these are .23% less resources than those." and its not the loosey goosey, seat of your pants dumbess of the Neebs videos. Even when they have Khaine on in their Darkness Falls videos, its still "that should work, maybe".

Speaking of DF, i went back to it and realized, I kinda prefer the skillbook method of learning new stuff. just going purely by levels is way less involved.

skillbooks are good but i think as the exclusive way of learning skills they don't work well

they should have mixed it up with the previous method, where you learn some "core" recipes by putting points into the skills, but books exist to make the recipes more efficient, or unlocking mods and upgraded versions. like you can build the forge itself, but crafting its enhancements like bellows/anvil etc. requires skillbooks.

I guess they got mad at everyone yelling at them for working on another game while their current one is pushing a decade of early access, so they decided to call their current game 1.0 despite not actually updating it in any significant way.

I love this game but calling a slightly nicer looking version of what we have now "1.0" is pretty funny.

Here's to the next 10 years.

We did it the last time when A21 dropped. Had a good population for a month or two. Does anyone think they might be picking it up on console? I'll wait to see some reviews of performance but like 90% of my friends don't play on PC so I may be double dipping.

Still a million times better than like 99% of early access games, imo only Rimworld was more complete and fun to play while still in EA. I've gotten around 750 hours of fun out of this game, enormous return on investment

758 hours myself, it's a fantastic game and 2nd only to Factorio in my hours of play (at least of games tracked on Steam - I don't want to know how many hours I lost to MMO's in my younger days).

I just want a stable enough version for mods/overhauls to not have to be rewritten every time.
Although Khaine keeps on top of Darkness Falls, Subquake is still working on the a21 version of Undead Legacy and a22 is about to pop.
Sure the addition of a story and the bandits will likely make then have to do a big update, but likely not as bad as the version changes that have happened.

Though a good amount of mods have worked between the versions thankfully.

I was assuming they wouldn't bother with splitscreen on the console but it still hurts to see it confirmed! Some fond memories with the "Legacy version".

This is the biggest sticking point for me. I find the base game to be pretty mid but Undead Legacy is 100% my jam and what I come back to play every time I get the itch to stab zombies and build a fort.

i can echo the sentiment of my money's worth being cashed in years ago, but it's funny to watch The Fun Pimps attempt to be a games studio and not a few guys drinking beers and programming a 2010 zombie game

i loving forgot the game was kickstarted

$45 seems a bit much.
I hope the console discount is deep for the people that bought it before.

Dangit.. I just gifted this to my girlfriends son 20 days ago. Heh.. oh well. I've gotten more than enough value from them that I'm not going to bother trying to get the difference refunded at this point, but drat that's an amazing price for this game. Anyone who has ever been on the fence should be taking advantage of this price.

45 bucks for a sandbox survival/crafting game that's almost certainly already sold most of the copies it's ever going to sell, with no story content seems kind of bananas lol

Yeah, I'm curious what the reasoning is for this. Coming out of early access into "final release", do they really think they have a bunch of new players lined up waiting to grab this when it finally goes "final"? I'm not sure what sort of sales they are expecting with 1.0, especially combined with an 80% price increase.

I feel like they're just running out of money and this is a desperate play for more. The game has no micro transactions that I'm aware of, no other forms of income. They've gotten this far entirely on games sales and that can only last them for so long.
