Blampf!

No more feedback, just answers for general consensus.

42. Needs work, but I like it more.

[Jack Flintlock™]

Still adjusting to B42... There are features about it which I love, but some of the simplicity of B41 is sorely missed.

Reluctantly, Build 42. It has a lot of features I like, but I'm really finding the tuned-up exhaustion mechanics incredibly punishing. It sucks not to have any ways of clearing zombies in the early game, and it can easily lead to that painful "death by exhaustion" doom loop where you're followed by a horde of zombies you just can't shake.

I don't feel that it's properly balanced so I just turned it off. Devs gave us that option so I chose to use it. I'm not suggesting that you should, you do you.

i like 42 more than 41.

Honestly, I like the fatigue change and other stuff to combat.

The combat in B41 was mindless. The server I played B41 on we had single players killing entire towns in like an hour (as an attempt to keep zed populations down for noobs).

Can't be doing that now. I like it.

I haven't had any issues with combat, when I'm fatigued, I just don't engage. The first bit of leveling up sucks, as it should when you start out but now that I've got 3 points in my weapon choice it's hardly an issue.

I think it makes combat far more dynamic instead of "slowly walk backwards and swing until you run away." Now I have to use a combination of weapon and push and stomp and think before engaging because it might get me killed.

Less brainless button mashing IMO.

b41 at least has multiplayer lol

[ebrardandre]

B41 modded is better for now. The only reason I try b42 is for more fps. The problem with zomboid is there is no goals... after 3000 hrs to create all history you can imagine, the game become boring, and its not to add some farming simulator, man sounds (nes games had it 40 years ago...) that it will add lot of longevity... Climbing 7 floors was although boring, so 30 floors... what the interest... Now just wait modders to raise the level

i'm currently addicted to testing the new shooting - and loving it - also making comparison videos with B41 - and there is definitely some useful debate to be had over if it was easier or more effective in B41 - but i am finding B42 way more satisfying

only problem i have with B42 is that i still have not seen much of it because i have gotten a little obsessed with playing with the new shooting - as well as spending way too much time reading through the forum

but also - shooting at night is awesome with the new lighting :-)

basically - B41 is a great game - with a great workshop - that can stand together as an amazing chapter in gaming history

but B42 is really really exciting - because the devs have B41 and the workshop as a baseline for what works and what people love - and everything they add or change is now open as part of the new baseline that will be modded over the years - as they polish the base features - with us eventually having a B42 that is as polished (or more) than B41, but with lots of new cool features - and a new workshop brimming with even more interesting mods

it is a time of glory in the battle against the undead

and i am loving the new "thud", "splat" sounds every time i nail a headshot lol

but yeah - soon i shall move from shooting to other stuff

but just one more horde - coz this new full auto M16 is my new best friend...... (sorry old best friend, but you just ain't as badass)

happy days :-)

I have never played single player before, B42 is kinda lonely, haha.

That's why I've never played single player. I only bought the game after they added multiplayer and I became a regular on a server. Built a tower and mingled with the community.

PZ is a great social experience online if you find the right server/group.

...it can also be a nightmare but that's humans being human for you. 🤷‍♂️

There is ways...you haven't figure THE WAY.Even with B42 playing apo i am able to kill at least 60 zed the first day.Ive been alive for 7 days and i am at 400 kill already only using crowbar.I don't even have a fighter build.Park ranger + 2 traits and a bunch of malus.Did not change any setting.
