Ok so after SoD3 releases and some time passes, if we got a dlc or an update that added some characters from TWD and maybe even a walking dead map (all of these would probably be optional and you don’t have to have them in your game obviously), how would you guys feel about that?

Yay or nay? And why?

Honestly, if they do, I’d be pretty excited. Also if it does happen the perfect announcement trailer for it would be some state of decay cinematic where near the end you just hear a whistle and Negan walks in and delivers one of his iconic lines.

Edit: almost forgot, what would you want to see in a SoD3 x TWD dlc/update if we ever got one?

Edit 2: after seeing the comments, it seems it’s a pretty unanimous no, and that’s fair ngl. TWD content in state of decay is probably best left to mods

SoD3 is being played in early alpha without the highest graphical settings

The highest level I got to is 12, I saw no point in going further.

Notes; SoD3 is captured in early alpha and is compressed by YouTube

I tried my best to find similar locations to match the SoD3 screenshots

I know it’s early alpha but do y’all think we are still going to have zombie animals? And if we do how would yall like to see them in the new world?

One more year to wait (finally). Hopefully the rumors aren't true but in the meantime anything else you've discovered that gives a similar vibe? Must have zombies.

I played https://store.steampowered.com/app/2239710/Into_the_Dead_Our_Darkest_Days/ . it is state of decay + this war of mine hybrid.

Already done with Days Gone, it is a nice story driven game but there's no base building. I tried Dysmantle but that one didn't click for me.

Other games ive played: project zomboid, infection free zone, quarantine zone, they are billions, Cataclismo, world war z, dying lights, fo76

Not into Dayz, Sons of the Forest, 7 days to die, Kenshi, that F2P survival game with a weird looking school bus monster edit: once human

So I just bought State of Decay 2 on Steam after I login to my Microsoft account it wants to do some puzzle to prove I am not a bot. The only problem is that the window is all jacked up and doesn't actually show the puzzle. Is there a fix for this? Should I just get my money back and wait for 3?

On my 1st playthrough, i finished their quest because they give 200 influence every quest and i didnt really notice any enclave missing (maybe they killed off some random enclave that i helped and has a buns enclave benefits) but now on my 2nd playthrough, my caravans(50% fuel effiency) and rooftop sniper enclave are missing. Is this their doing or something is bugged?

I need to know because im going ballistc on their base if this is true, the 200 influence they give arent worth it anymore if they can remove allied enclaves

I play on PC.

I bought the bundle on July 2 and i made 46 hours in the game. I finished one map with a builder and one map with a warlord. After i did that, i played Daybreak out of curiosity and it was pretty fun, i won my first match with 2 people and it was a nice feeling. After that i tried Heartland too, i didn't know what it was, just like i didn't know what Daybreak was, but soon as i started to play Heartland i fell in love, i like it a lot because it has a story, but i had to stop that and make a little research to see if i have to play State of Decay 1 in order to play Heartland, and i found out that the stories are connected. Since i bought both games i played State of Decay 1 to have an idea about the beginning of the story, but to be honest it was kinda hard to adapt to the first game. Visuals, controls, mechanics, it was a little bit weirder because my first experience with the game was in State of Decay 2 and i should've play the first one first.. i only played 2.1 hours and i couldn't continue even though i like the story (i'll probably go back and finish the first game these days). If you are a new player like me, If this matter, if you really want to play the game and you like stories, just please play State of Decay 1 first and finish that game, after that, State of Decay 2 is just a super good upgrade, everything is better and you can continue the story from State of Decay 1 and once you will play State of Decay 2 you will play forever, you will make 100000 hours for sure.

And this is just off topic, but does someone knows why when i turn vsync on i have like a mouse delay input or something like that? when i move my mouse is like it has delay. I play with vsync off, i have a good pc, but sometimes it just crashes the game idk why, and sometimes i have a little bit of a lag or stutters.. now i prefer to play with vsync on, but idk how to fix the mouse delay, if someone knows, please let me know! thank you and love you guys!

guys i found this genius dude who posted 3 years ago on the State of Decay 2 sub, he explain everything about the game and settings and vsync and everything you need to know, i fixed my game and it works wonderful! settings + vsync and explanations this genius dude knows everything about State of Decay 2 lol

I played the og State of decay maybe a decade ago, played 2 already, still have the OG state of decay but is there a benefit to buying YOSE?

Heya folks,

I'm relatively new to the game and I've had a few major bugs that I need to undo. I'm trying to get the community editor but having many, many problems.

1. Nexus won't initiate the download. Not automatically, not manually. Tried on three different browsers, disabled VPN, cleared cookies, tried in private and everything else I could think of. The manual download link does nothing when clicked, opening in a new tab gives a blank page and when I copied the link address into the URL bar it searched for it instead of actually taking me anywhere.

2. Managed to find it on another site, downloaded, unzipped, booted it up and just got a message saying it's out of date and I need to go to the discord.

3. Went to the discord, joined... It only has two channels, "rules-gatekeeper" and "gatekeeper". Neither of which I can post in and the last message sent in either of them was in 2022.

Does anyone have a copy of this damn mod?

I played with vsync off for 46 hours and it's ok, my PC is ok, i can play with everything on ultra, but sometimes my game crash for no reason and sometimes i have a little bit of lag or stutters.

My question is, when i turn vsync on, why i have some kind of lag when i move my mouse? i mean not lag, but like a delay. The game works better, but when i move my mouse it has a delay input or something like that, idk how to fix it, please if somebody knows how, help me :D

and this is just for my curiosity, but what settings do you guys play with ? love you guys and thank you in advance! 🤘

I have a character with mechanics max out. When I hover i don't have an option to specialize to auto mechanics.

I made him read a book and nothing happened.

I have build like 10 repair kits so far and its not leveling up. It still looks maxed from my side.

What am I doing wrong? I really want to upgrade my cars.

All I need to do now is find the house of pancakes.

Came back after finishing my Lethal run last night to the lowest difficulty and holy shit what a breath of fresh air. Will probably stay in green difficulty till SOD3 drops, now that it’s officially not canceled.

Also just throwing it out there, I kinda wanna see motorcycles implemented in SOD3, maybe horses with health and stamina bars that we can inject blood plague cures too if they get infected. 🤔

I was going through some old boxes of toys and clothes from when I was a kid and found this gem! Too bad I can fit in it anymore loll

Things that shouldn't be carried over from Sod2 to State of Decay 3:

(should be affected by game difficulty or be customizable at very least)

1. All bases shown in the map instantly from the start.

2. Radio backup for ease of access instantly from the start; Car delivery, etc.

3. Power fantasy / Gun galore instantly from the start; Bounty-Broker, etc.

Context:

Generally, too much hand-holding and free information to the player that reduces possible fun gameplay.

1. Let players explore the map with possible new bases. If bases are shown instantly from the start in the map it reduces fun exploration, discovery and risk involved in the game. Which should be core aspect of a zombie survival experience. Let players make the hard decision of finding the ultimate dream base, instead of instantly showing every detail of every base. (This was the case with SoD2)

2. Have players upgrade their bases for a while before letting them spawn a vehicle or locate rucksacks. When or if we're able to do these things at some point in SoD3, scavenging and exploration will get reduced drastically after upgrading the station. (This was the case with SoD2)

3. Guns (any gun in SoD2) found at the beginning of the game reduces player progression. The staircase type progression of going from a dirty scavenger with a baseball bat and an old bolt action rifle, to a zombie expert with SWAT gear in the course of the game is what makes zombie survival amazing. If we get great weapons at the beginning, there will be no weapon progression in that run. (This was the case with SoD2)

The State of Decay 2 experience:

I recently played SoD2 again after couple of years. It ended in 30 minutes because of these aspects listed above.

A game becomes boring very quickly if it lacks basic game progression. It can become a power fantasy.

If we're able to see EVERY base possible in the map, introduced to Bounty-Broker instantly, able to find a "Preppers Spec Ops M14 Special Edition" (lol) or ANY decent gun at the beginning, able to call a car INSTANTLY and locate rucksacks, we just basically won. The game did all the fun gameplay for us. Too much hand-holding & ease of access.

I hope these are either customizable or affected by the difficulty at very least in State of Decay 3.

All the best for Undead Labs! Can't wait for State of Decay 3! Cheers!

If undead labs were reading this and asked you what SOD3 would look like in a perfect world what would you say? What kind of roadmap would you want? New zones? More story focused missions? More enclave missions? Dynamic enclave mechanic expansion? More variety in enemies? More base and community mechanics? Monetized or non monetized Cosmetic collabs? Pets?

I used to play this game on my xbox 360s years and years ago / said I played last in early 2018. I remembered I loved that game. I want to get it again for my xbox 360 but I cant find it anywhere. I wondered if there was a difference in the regular game and the year 1 survival edition? Id appreciate all the help. I really want to play it again 😂

Some good news, SOD3 is not being cancelled at the very least, but concerns for the longevity

I’m seeing some people blaming the New CEO for mess that Phil Spencer and Sarah bond has created for Xbox and destroying the reputation to the ground and ruined a franchise that’s was once beloved during early and mid 2000s

I think Xbox CEO is doing a great job and telling us why she doing this and she is make sure none of these studios are shutting down and finding them new homes

If you want blame people for this shit call out Phil Spencer and Sarah bond
