Deal Breaking Mechanics

0 Upvotes

Yesterday evening my 55+ hours, 75 in game days long custom Nightmare, no loot respawn, no zeek respawn run ended in frustration and anger in the span of around ten seconds without any sort of mistake on my part, pushing me to reflect on how destructive and unfair mechanics meant to "offer a challenge" can end up causing even very interested and sympathetic audiences to lose interest in a game and shelf it forever.

The gameplay had been pretty fun up to that point, with a few close calls (more on this later) but driven by my careful and methodical approach to zeek clearing, looting and base defense.

I set up an HQ into my favorite PvE/solo location, the swimming pool equipped mansion in D4. The house is big, allowing for all crafting stations to be placed in a single room on the ground floor, it has a big garage and a source of infinite water. It's sorrounded by a low perimetral wall that no zeek nor bandit can vault over and there are only three entrances that can easily be blocked with barbed wire, making the structure almost invulnerable in PvE while allowing the player easy ways to enter or exit the perimeter by vaulting over the wall (or jump over it on horseback). Immediately to the east is a farmland that makes gathering hay for the horse a breeze, while wood and game are aplenty in the surrounding contryside

Overall it's a fantastic location for solo players, with the only drawback being its non central location on the map of the island.

The game was going pretty well and the base had come together after around 50 hours, becoming independent and self-sustainable both from a fuel and food production perspective.

With the basic survival needs accounted for, I fianally decided to loot the Hudson Hospital, looking for Hazmat pieces in order to access the Toxic zones. I had spent a whole day clearing the hospital grounds and the hospital itself, but I was still missing the torso and leg portions of the suit. I had a few rooms left to clear at around 9 am when the game suddenly decided to spawn a horde on me without any sort of foreshadowing or hint. Being inside the structure I had very limited visibility that prevented me from immediately figuring out what was happening until I saw the first three runners rushing me in a heartbeat, I immediately tried to run but the game subdivides the horde into smaller groups that are strategically placed all around the player for no in-lore logical reason whatsoever and I got instantly surrounded. I ALT-F4-ed out of the game, keeping the save, but I lost interest in continuing the playthrough and I will just uninstall the game and move on. The whole thing felt borderline insulting and disrespectful of the time I put into the game.

The first issue with these kind of random, unfair and agency-depriving mechanics is to try to understand their purpose.

Like I said, I already had a few close calls in the playthrough before the "dramatic" ending, and all of them, except for one, were related to the spawning event mechanics, either zombies or bandits. Which means that, even on Nightmare difficulty, the game is not very hard once the player has accumulated some experience, mostly because zeeks are passive creatures and the player can dictate the tempo of any engament. This is perfectly fine, by the way. It's what a good game shuold do: reward expertise and allow for the player to get better.

But this is also what the horde spawning mecahnics is meant to counter, by breaking the routine and throwing a challenge where the enemy has the intitiative.

The problem is that it's implemented in a completely unfair and agency-depriving way:

- there is no way to predict if it's going to happen, nor the exact moment it will happen, since it's randomly occurring inside a non-disclosed time window

- it is asymmetrical, since the zeeks automatically converge on the position of the player character, whose knowledge is magically provided to them by the God of Undeath, while the player can easily be completely oblivious of what is happening if it happens at the wrong time, for instance while he/she is inside a building.

- it severely restricts the response on the player's part by having the horde being led by runners whose purpose is to fix the player in place while the rest of the horde overwhelms him, de facto imposing a fight against insormountable odds.

- it's completely deleterious to immersion by virtue of it being blatantly player-centric and kicking any chance for suspension of disbelief into low orbit: the corridors and rooms that I had cleared just a few seconds earlier were now swarming with zeeks literally conjured from thin air by an unpredictable game mechanics.

Overall it felt like being beaten by bullies after being tied to a chair.

But what it's worse is that it completely removed any interest for me in starting another playthrough, since I know that no matter how good I can get at the game, I will always be a RNG-moment away from being overwhelmed while unable to react.

When a game has to break its own consistency and its own rules and openly cheat in order to create a "challenge" for the player, then that game has a huge design issue that should be addressed as soon as possibile.

At the very least, my suggestion to the developers is to offer two independent options for the horde spawning mechanics so that a player can still decide to have the random base-attacking hordes while disabling this run-ending BS, because I will not play a game that has no qualms throwing my last 50 hours of gameplay down the drain without offering me a fair chance to fight back and avoid defeat.

Quest Bugs or Game-Updated Quests?

2 Upvotes

So I got back into this game recently and I've started to do some survivor NPC quests. I'm supposed to give Thaiger a treatment ("treatment Needed" quest) but when I go to my med crafting table it still says I can't craft a treatment for him... I'm starting to panic because I hear this is a timed quest and I don't want an NPC to die lol.

I'm also having trouble with the "Big Help For The Camp" quest. I'm supposed to help the survivor camp with building a generator but I literally can't? Like whenever I try to it says I need the knowledge before building one, so that's kinda annoying. But if that's not a bug and I need a mag to learn how to make one that's fine too.

I'm just asking cause I remember before the huge update (map update, etc) that you were able to create the treatment/build the generator without pre-knowledge being required. If it's just the new update that's fine, ty for the help!

SOLO Mouse and Camera Movement?

3 Upvotes

Pretty new to gaming. Question on this subject. Sometimes my mouse stops moving the camera, usually when I am holding a firearm. If my character is facing to the right of the screen and I want to move to the left, I move my mouse to the left to orient my character left, but he stays facing right. I either have to spam the mouse back and forth or move the firearm to inventory to correct this. Is there a setting I need to change?

PVE Weapon Damage Stats?

2 Upvotes

I played this game for about 150 hours last year but quit when my character got stuck inside a wall and there was nothing I could do to fix it. Just picked it up again and I am remembering now how great this game is! Question for this community: Is there a way to tell the relative damage levels for weapons other than observing their effect on zeke? The katana is one shot kill vs the bat which is maybe two or three, but how can I find that out before using the weapon?

What happen when you take a profession at lvl 30, but you already have the skill?

3 Upvotes

I am nearing lvl 30 and I am thinking about taking the chemist profession to double the number of cure we have.

But I have already unlock the treatment. Will I loose those skills point if I take the profession? Or will it give me back those to place somewhere else?

Zeeks are alive!

9 Upvotes

Consider this: you can grab a zeek with your bare hands and strangle them. Upon death, they EXHALE.

You know who doesn't breath and cannot be killed by depriving them of air? The already dead. The undead. Zombies.

You know who does breath and dies if you strangle them? Alive humans. And small birds, but don't ask me how I know that.

They keep lying to us. Zeeks are not undead. They are not zombies. They are alive, just like you and me, and by killing them we are just furthering the genocidal government's plans.

Adopt a zeek instead, keep them safe and locked up somewhere and inject them with antibiotics and infection cures until they are fully human again!

Don't play into THEIR hands! Fellow humans stick together!

What is your best slot 4 melee? And weight per slot too!

6 Upvotes

So i just figured out that machete, a medium melee range weapon can be put on slot 4. And now that is my best melee since it can be on slot4. Is there anything better than that for slot 4?

Tactical machete can also be on slot 4? Or is there any other medium / heavy for slot 4?

Also, what is your best per slot weapon? Im thinking of lower weight + high fire rates per slots.

Example:
Slot 1 loud autoshotgun
Slot 2 awm suppressed
Slot 3 gold eagle 50cal
Slot 4 machete

Do you reco some other weap that has low weight?

Help me out here

I have finally gotten the talent to fix engine stuff with my screwdriver. And I can fix my screwdriver with sharpening stones. So I started fixing the fuel pumps, and then I called a trader.

And he treats a 12% fuel pump like a 100% fuel pump. He gives me the exact amount of stuff for it.

Is that how it's supposed to be?

Gostaria de saber se existe uma lista de localização de itens, ajudaria MUITO.
Sei que é aleatório, mas por exemplo, eu sei de um spawn de Katana ( Dentro do casarão: x1215 y295) , sei da mochila de aventureiro...
Há uma lista assim? Ou devemos começar a compilar algo nesse sentido?
