I do now. never did before until this new terrible version of the game, you cant find anything in the game so you cant progress so blood moons just arent worth it. its try to find things to survive with nothing ever appearing version. I went through 2 cities, and found just enough food for my dying red food status to turn orange. YAY! ...great version... None the less building a base and crafting? HA nice joke.

When I played actively, I turned off Blood Moons because the zombie pathing is persnickety and annoyed me to a point that I couldn't imagine dealing with a horde every 7 days. Playing 7DTD as a standard survival zombie game is just fine, I found myself motivated to explore, quest, and to keep looting. At one point, it became less difficult to stay fed and hydrated, so my attention turned to a POI renovation challenge; playing without Blood Moons is totally valid, live your truth. With the amount of Screamers constantly coming by for a bit of tea, hordes aren't truly required as these ladies bring a TON of guests.

I've answered this in many other threads, but I'll repeat it in this thread again - yes, I play with blood moons off. there have also been times where I left zombies off entirely for many maps/sessions.

Lately I leave blood moons off, zombies on, and have increased biome spawns somewhat, but I also have it where respawn timers are so long it's basically like I can clear a map if I wanted to. eg, I like having to fight/clear everything once but then an area is eventually "safe" for a long long time - thus I will continually move onward/explore farther vs. being tempted to stay in one small spot in some repetitive kill/loot a few POI's loop forever. I also ignore/don't do Trader quests.

That said, even doing that I often get bored before the entire map is actually revealed, and want to start anew. Unless it's a tiny map.

I've always turned off Blood Moons. I don't think it's fun when the zombies knows exactly where you are. I prefer to take on random hordes or a building filled with zombies because I can go at it in my own way. Blood Moon is just tower defense.

Like, imagine if the blood moons made it so zombies are now outside to bask under the moonlight which then creates a LOT of hordes that you'd be able to sneak around to avoid, hide in your home and hope they don't come to you, or try and fight them for some extra loot. THAT sounds interesting to me.

I never saw the point.
It seemed more fun to just turn up the general difficulty.

my group we normally just find a tall building and wait out the night. or shoot down at the horde as there breaking the building. In the past I used to build up a base thick enough or dependable enough to handle blood moons. but now the ai is just weird to me I don't feel like i have the tools necessary to defend a blood moon till 25-30 days in.

Then again, I haven't really tried too recently, so maybe i'm just over worried.

I love Blood Moons! I enjoy planning the traps for the Zombies and I enjoy the combat with them. I guess that this is because I am a fan of FPS games and enjoy the challenges. But, everyone has their own preferences and I do not disrespect that,

[katsuragi]

I just turn it on when I want to test my base out. I leave it off normally.

Usually i keep this function to OFF because i don't love arcade game, but for a time i put it to ON because i try to make the charlenge task they ask in the charlenge sheet,

I don't think i will have very big problem to survive because i have reprogramed more thing in the data of the game to be able to have a game more réalistic, but it's sure i will have hard time,

but usually i prefer to play this game more such as a simulator and not such as an arcade game, i find the game have going down in the evolution of the game, they have too much changed the thing to be adaptative for the console thing, and for this they have deleted all the true simulation thing such as the cloth we can wear or the construction of the block, now it's just arcade thing,

I don't love the basic of this game, and i hate more the blood moon thing, but after reprogrammed the game to be more realistic, i love to explore all the world and build thing without be killed at each minute because a zombie touch you by behind,

but watherver, i hate blood moon and if i become tired of the bllod moon thing i will forgot to try to make the charlenge thing but for now i put it at each 30 or 50 day i think, when i will have the charlenge complete i will desactivate it again...

Bloodmoons are sooo boring after a while. They become a nuisance for me. I don't want the game to be easier but I also don't like the radiated Zs and would like to get rid of them. But I'm on console and can't.
Anyway, one BM from time to time is a nice change.

+ this.

I like them sometimes but I never liked it every 7 days. I think they should be quests where you opt in to every one you do. Would be a lot easier than restarting the server to change how many days until next. There could even be defense missions where you defend a pre-built base instead of your own sometimes.

A defence quest from the traders does sound interestin.

Brilliant idea. But I don't think it will ever happen. Bc BMs are the core idea and title of the game. Half of the 7d2d YT videos are about BMs and how to handle them...

I play with blood moon off though that has less to do with not enjoying it and more because I am still trying to figure out the controls and how to play well first once I get all that done hordes are going to be a lot of fun to add to all the chaos.
