LOG SPIKE USLES TRASH IN ALPHA 12.3(B5)

[brother Cassius]

Hello TFP, your new patch was good but killed log spikes this update. In the last versions it was undestroyeble, and it alow killed very huge hords of zomby, and crafting stick spikes were stupid way for burn your time and resourse . But in this update log spike started broke, and broke very fast! It can give 700-750 point of damage before it will destroi from max uprage level.( I did gaid about it, but this video was created for russian speaking community). But stupid sticks spike can take 500 point of damage and if were lose 12 scrap iron, 4 wood planks and wood log for 700 point of damage, we lose only 1 stupid stick for 500 point of damage! ,, Karl! Do you understend? we lose only one stick without 12 scrap iron!" Today I use only stick spikes for defense base, I would rather will craft 60 iron arrow and kill 30-40 zomby in piece day time or 10-20 in night batle with big horde than waste it for log spikes wich can kill only 3-7 zombyes.
Fank you for your attention I hope you will fix it. Good luck gays.

If you read the official forums, you would know that they have said they are changing them again next patch, and there are even some adjusted .xml changes people can adopt to have the changes sooner.

The devs don't read here. Seriously. They really don't.

Fank you, for your information, but I do not often come forums. I use it only when bags is very killing my nervous.

I like them the way they are now. I am having to find other way to defend my base which makes for more variety. In my opinion they still do plenty of damage.

You can disable the damage for the log spikes.

i never use log spikes,better get lead + nitrate + coal + brass and use ur ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gun

I'm with the devs if they are nerfing them again.

Every "gud" base design in this game looks exactly the same.

A fricken island building in the middle of a sea of spikes that people build temp wooden frame bridges to and from.

Could do with some variety.

i build 3-floored box on the first floor there 3-block wall made of cobble/concrete + ironbars,tons of kills every night :3

This game could really benefit from some interesting base-defending traps. I know we already can make spike pits and land mines but I'd like to be able to take some iron, make a huge iron pot, fill it with hot oil and pour it on zombies banging on my doors.

Sure, the mess will be repugnant but there's nothing like the sound of sizzling flesh. >:)

Yeah, Log Spikes are a massive resource drain currently.

A fully-upgraded Log Spike costs the equivilent resources of a whopping twenty eight Wood planks and 8 Scrap Iron. Not to mention the constant time spent on upkeep because something decided to brush up against them as they pass.

That made me laugh. :)

you know from the look of log spikes they arent as threatening to me as spikes made out of sticks....

I mean their big and round youd have to be an idiot to get impaled on those. try imagining a 1m large spike cone...not that hard to pass the whole field without hurting yourself even if you trip you fall on its side and that isnt that dangerous...
Try imagining passing a field of small sharp spikes with iregular order.... dont trip and fall on those,,,,

I hate it when you pass next to a log spike and you take dmg...wth is the character doing? trying if the tip is sharp by smacking his hand on it?

Not sure if you can but it would be cool if you could put spikes on the wall it would make more sence to me

I think OPs point is that wooden spikes (the ones that only cost 9 sticks) are now a lot more economical to use than log spikes, which require logs, planks and scrap iron but don't give enough damage or durability in return for that investment.

So if you're gonna nerf one, nerf the other. Before we start seeing seas of wood spikes instead of seas of log spikes. They're more of a pain on the eye, too.

[Thord]

I think wooden spikes are already a bit weak so hardly in need ofa nerf. That said I would certainly like to see some decent alternatives to the log spike, traps etc.

Variety is always good but this isnt really variety, its just nerfing.
In my opinion it just depends on how someone plays the game and what they expect from it.

I personally hate the change, I dont want to babysit my log spikes all day, plus the new costs is nuts, not to mention the nerf on scrap iron from resources. If you had a big base before you already had to do enough damage-maintenance on them. If I want a failproof base I will just make a hole in the ground.. done. If I want a failproof base above ground I will just make one on stilts, covered in spikes, done, they will just walk on. It's not making gameplay harder just more annoying.

Definitely need alternatives. Spamming log spikes isn't fun or pretty (so I never did it) but no wonder people will do it, and excessively so, if that's the only option available.

They can nerf them, but I do hope somewhere along the line the devs plan to expand on the game, add new weapons and traps we can experiment and play around with, instead of nerfing whatever it is people use at the time, as if to force them to try other things. Other things that don't exist.
