"I'm severely drugged , wanna fight?" LOL

Just the right blend of cynicism and world weary commentary for a Sunday evening - nice one mate

You should make a series doing what you hate aka build a base from scratch live in it and fight all hordes in it lol

i managed to complete tier 5 in my save and i was really considering not to do missions anymore. When i saw the changes to mission rewards i thought it was very good because it was way too overpowered but now the rewards are so bad i dont want to do them anymore and the higher the tier the worse it gets. And the thing is that pois trend to have worse loot when you are in missions, i dont know why but that something a friend of mine and me realized in the past alpha when double looting tier 5 pois. So i dont see a reason to do missions anymore. And the map generation got really bad for cities since they are always far away and at least in my map only one of them has two tier 5 pois

I got the 'find 5 honeys in stumps' challenge done - I had 3 of 5 fairly quickly and then didn't look again until day 20-ish. Took about half a day of driving around to get the last two. I didn't think it was all that tough to get.

I used to like the book system until i played Darkness Falls, where there is still a learn by doing system and now i hate the book system.

These videos are truly comforting to me. I love escaping with the daily prebuilt vid every day. Perfectly cynical.

Prebuilt says TFP won't have a sniper. But the TFP have super vultures, killed vehicles, super rage digging zombies. And probably more that I can't think of. Just let me have hordes of zombies in the open world. It's more scary for me to run into a 30+ zombie horde.

I actually ended the day 7 horde with more ammo than i began with. The bags at the end after killing them all gave me all my 7.62 back and even some mini bike parts.

2:40 The new armor is feeling very powerful, perhaps a bit too powerful, dare I say it. Heavy armor especially, even low quality, I felt very little threat from a few Ferals and the occasional Rad. And some of the bonuses seem to be insanely good. The nerd chest if you can get a legendary quality is insane for powering through book series that I dont really need till later in the game. I save my first legendary mod for that specifically. Even without speccing into armor, ive been getting enough of the Armor books to max it out early and save other books for when i can make the Nerd chest. Saving up vehicle books for instance I end up needing about half or 3/4's the books normally needed to max it out. I just go up enough to unlock the Minibike and save the rest of the books for when i have a good source of fuel and can make whatever vehicle i need/want. Same goes for whatever weapons, tools, etc im going for once I have enough to make a sufficient one to do whatever Im working towards. Its made me slow down a bit early game and accelerates me to the point I can mostly skip mid-game.

I loved the horde night talk. Probably preaching to the choir for some of us, but never stop with it! Might be some bad news, I may have taken some of the universe's luck with the honey challenge and completed it from casual stump removal on my travels. (Last two stumps were back-to-back honey.)

Not just T3 quests, it's T4 as well. I feel like quests got significantly harder (more zombies + health buff) and the end loot doesn't seem like what it used to be. Plus the time it takes to do certain quests and the dukes you get. Idk it feels off. Oh and I also have like 3 points into Daring adventurer, 300% XP.

Love your videos dude. Been staying up until 1 50am to watch as soon as I can. Keep up the good work!

It's so weird... I really don't notice the T-Rex hands when playing but watching videos it's really awful.

First?! Love the series so far, thanks for putting out content even though The Fun Police make enjoying the game harder, tried playing this version, and found the majority of my enjoyment from this update was coming from content creators like you, and not my own gameplay.

Progression has always been iffy in 7 days to say the least. I just don’t worry about being optimal and do what’s fun like fighting hordes. That’s not ideal though for everyone so they really should have multiple progression avenues.

Love the vids and series thus far , definitely enjoy how you keep it real with gameplay!

Your comments on the horde night are sooooooo incredibly accurate, game has become FUBAR. Mods on the game are now the only reason to buy the game

'Why is the shotgun tiny' You set the difficulty to insane, that's what you get

"he said the thing" lol yay 2013 humor never change TFP!

31:10 people need to listen and learn from this.

I'm using nerd helmet %8 xp, scavenger outfit +4 carry, ranger boots +40 stamina and Preacher gloves +40% damage against the undead. When I get more pocket mods then I'm going to switch to an outfit that helps against critical hits. That's all green armors. Pretty good I think! Love that +40 stamina.

Since your doing an intellect build u should put points in daring adventurer since it increases your trader stage and doesnt screw up the book loot table so that way you can get sum better weapons

watching you play and playing 7 days to die makes things better

The progression in this game gives me the same vibe as Oblivion. On the outside it looks fun, but it’s way too easy to outpace yourself by just playing the damn game that one of the most consistent ways to stay on/ahead of the difficulty curve is to do super counterintuitive strata (not killing zombies, not having your actual build as your major skills) It’s like they had one meeting for like 15 minutes and just ran with it

Tbh the 4am shop open is the best change so far.

I also noticed that kiiling too many zombies will make your life much harder. I remember my first 7 days horde was just insane!

I just ran around a field during horde night. Chopped them up with a stone axe. Insane difficulty too

I had to lol at the idea of a sniper killing you if you don't fight the horde. They tried vultures but it doesn't work for killing "roof dwellers"

To avoid vultures. Go inside a brick building with three or four floors and knock out the stairs

Passive horde night, I foresee further improving the structural AI of zombies so they tear down building faster.

7 days to die, 7 days to fetch. Now we got 7 days to read all the books and magazines. 😂😂😂😂

I don't know much about loot tables, but i will say that on day 12 or so i was still getting pipe machine guns from cop cars, but a wasteland tier 1 had a level 5 AK

Just wondering, have you played Navezgane recently? That is most likely what a "New Player" would experience, rather than creating a custom world. (I know for me, that's what I played since it's default.) It seems like there's a huge difference between starting in a remote, sparsely populated area vs a city. I think the closest POI is the mushroom mine, which is 400+ meters away. Since there's no close building to commandeer near the trader as a base, nights are usually spent building one. This slowed how fast I could progress to the bike, dramatically. After watching this series, I re-made my world and am much further progressed after starting in a city. Thanks for the video.

When I first noticed I thought perhaps they tried to make the headlight mod serve a purpose but the motorbike and 4x4 have light from the get go, so it's only the minibike. To get light you have to put in the headlight mod and, as you mentioned, the handlebar recipe requires a light to craft. So they FunPimped our rides...?

I love your rants man, they're always on point. The Fun Pimps created a great base concept game that also looks/feels mostly good which is very difficult and impressive. Then they take their impressive success and piss half of it away because they spend all their time implementing and subsequently tinkering with half baked ideas on top of their prize creation. It's like they worked real hard to be able to afford top end steaks for dinner every night and then they cook them well done and cover them in ketchup. It doesn't make any sense and it drives me nuts as well. There's so many ways to design the RPG aspect of the game and they chose such a mediocre route. The new armor system is extremely unbalanced and as nonsensical as the rest of the RPG system. Same with perk books and magazines. It's even more difficult to understand why they struggle so hard with the loot tables and quest rewards. Why is it so feast or famine? Where is the balance concern? The game is really fun and worth playing for some time regardless but it could be truly great with better design direction.(and a performance overhaul) I want to experience each stage of the game(early,mid,late) week by week. Veteran players who are trying to progress should be in the stone age until day 8, iron age until day 15, and into steel by day 22 and end game by day 29. Whereas less progression concerned players may regularly take until day 50 to reach end game. I want to progress linearly and I want the most amount of choices to make possible, no more gating weapons and skills behind half-baked class concepts. Let players be a bow expert and expert miner or use shotguns and be an expert hunter/gatherer or be a stealthy sledgehammer expert or maybe I just want a bit of everything; let me mix and match any skill progressions I feel like. Then just make all the armors niche, right now there are too many armors that are too generally strong(preacher, raider, etc..) and others that are generally weak(ranger, athlete, etc...). At least then the players get to choose inconsistent RPG elements instead of having the developers choices forced upon us. Power to the players.

I'm going to shift over to being a gargoyle on horde nights...

Preacher gloves with Raider gear and your a freaking tank. The 50%undead damage is a allround modifier and is freaking nuts.

you know, 2 shotgun shells in the face = 20 pellets = 64% base chance to head pop (assuming 5% base chance, chance to NOT pop head is 0.95^20 or 36%) that saves you the 18 stun baton swings you need to kill a tourist xD

so... so far what I have gathered is that doing trader quests is kinda pointless now, unless you want to double loot somewhere and traders inventory seems kinda sucky too now. Great... Also, for hoard nights, I think they will just make Zombies do way more block damage in a way your can't turn off during Hoards to prevent roof sitting. Seems like something they would do.

No I know exactly what they'll do. Similar to what you said a timer. If X amt of zombies aren't being killed they'll send a ton of vultures like they did if you try to drive away during horde.

Love your channe m8.

You know what they could add to make hordes worth fighting? Actual horde mechanics. Also, actual horde rewards. Like... Add buildings that spawn into the world you can feed otherwise useless materials into for valuable things. Feed brass into a chip-press to get dukes or ammo or something. Feed paper into a mill to get random magazines, or maybe not so random magazines. Stuff like that which requires the souls of the dead or something to power, requiring a lot of zombie kills. Gives you something to build a hoard base around, or more likely, requires you to fortify and refurbish a POI to defend from. Make a couple buildable though, just in case people don't find one, or they don't find one that they particularly care about. After that just reduce health to about 10% of what it currently is, design some bosses to fight, and have actual *waves* to it with a boss every 5 waves or so. Add drops to those bosses and some treasure zombie types with guaranteed loot bags that are actually worth a damn that despawn too quickly to reasonably get if you're just sitting in a base all horde night. The only issues I see with this is it requires devs that are semi-competent and more zombie types than "generic shambler 69"

17:04 the crackhead outside the gas station i go to

Has Rekt always had a tin in his pocket branded "Climax"? BTW I found a legendary item part in a shoe pile, also don't forget the stun baton repulsor mod.

Alpha 15 had the best leveling system. If they could have that system with the content there is now. Id actually play it again when I'm able to.

YOU SHOULD DO A SERIES SIMPLY LIVING OF YOUR BACKPACK

You should try molotov's, they actually kill now

Not all rewards are bad. The one for killing 50 cops is very op.

The kill challenges once redeemed you get items from the traders like a quest reward btw

New trader changes are odd for me. On one hand I’m glad they nerfed them so you don’t blitz through the game. However, it was like that for so long that it’s gonna take ages to adjust properly. At least for me anyway.

I got state of decay 2 because it was on sale been waiting ever since your series and I am wondering why I even likes 7d2d

when i completed "kill cops" and turned it in i was given choices.. i have daring adventurer maxed so i picked 4 leg parts and a crucible lol so yeah technically it was worth the effort lol i agree i do horde in a basic 5x5 3 high with bars around the top.. melee back off and molo them at times.. when i want to if not.. tall poi and cut off all accesses to the roof and wait it out so i can get going on what i actually want to do ive always felt we get cheated ... any one finds a way to safely fight them, they nerf stuff like blocks or remove stuff like spikes or barb wire sheets... in the end we are gonna either have to fight them on foot or in a box sigh...

I hope they either buff honey drop rate or reduce the amount required to make awesome sauce. 5 honey to make each one?! Ridiculous, might as well just remove the crafting recipe ffs.

Some would say thats a perfectly average, if not sizable shotgun. Not me, it does look puny....

I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but did they fix the glitch with the stun baton taking longer to charge when you first use it

Chances are if too many people avoid hordes like this they will make it so even more vultures spawn, especially the radiated ones, like they do if you try to ride your vehicle on hoard night, but so far I've only seen you doing it so you might be safe, for now 😅

1.0 is just a crappy placeholder while I wait for Subquake to hopefully update UndeadLegacy mod. One dude has made a massively better version of the game with many improvements on the base game

I agree with just about all your criticisms on the game.

Huh, I've been gaming on a widescreen for a while now. Biggest issue is the image stretching at the sides. I've been able to mostly eliminate it though it still does it to a small degree. I noticed that yours is doing it too and you're just playing on 16:9 aspect ration. Can't help but wonder what your FOV is. Cheese bases still work fine for horde nights. Typical bunker bases are gonna get absolutely demolished though.

Man I was really hoping to see a Prebuilt horde base build for this 1.0 stuff it has been absolutely destroying me.

Question: what do you look for when finding a house to ride out the horde in? I’m always a bit too nervous to do that but would like to.

We all gotta play our own way, only different not good or bad.

My guess is the FunlessPimps will crank block damage to the moon on horde nights so you can't turtle up to avoid them.

I agree. I am on day 10 and i always level my intelligence up so i can get 2 rewards per quest which was OP and tier 3 hasnt been good

wow, they totally nerfed the zombie bears.

this game always needs mods to make it good

My solution is to have a wide spread on the blood moon hoards. Every 7 days but with a 14 day spread, no warning. I can get one very early, day one, or day 21. I can also get back to back hoards. I just never know.

Question. Now that all quests level up at the same time, do I have to go and do the number of quests from Jen to get Bob and complete the opening trade routes challenge? Or can I go back to Rekt to do tier 2 and get Bob from him?

Assassin's full armor is so OP when you have agility build that it makes game go from semi-survival game to straight up FPS game where you just shoot stuff with guns that have suppresor. I went agility/daring adventurer build and got so much decent items out of traders, but it doesn't feel like survival game anymore, just another FPS game

I wish TFP would have a option to remove the 7 day base horde and have it just happen in the open world. I don't really care for base building nor do I care to do the horde night fight. I would be ok with slight improvements to prefabs and walking dead/project zomboid city hordes. But the mods that add hordes of zombies in the city usually solve this issue. As always with every patch I end up downloading a bunch of mods to make the game more to my liking. While TFP are per usual removing options for "their" end game vision.

Praise lord Helix

yeah questing now seems pretty meh to do, i dont really see a point in going above tier 3 anymore, the increased zombie HP and the pretty meh quest rewards. Unless the end loot from higher POIs is better for getting rarer items like legendary crafting parts, which i seem to have the absolute worst luck getting even with lucky looter and the new looting glasses mod.

I actually like the rewards more, way more book bundles which is nice I think, but iv still got decent stuff for rewards

you can cycel backwards without using stamina

Honestly wish the challenges gave more game play benefits other then xp. Xp is honestly not that useful as rewards. Would be cooler to get various perma buffs or something from completing some of those challenges. It also incentivizes experienced players to focus on specific challenges. I can't really see myself bothering with those challenges after the first few times, and just forgetting about them. Great for new players and all, but that's all. Heck, as they are, they aren't even all that great for new players either. Since many of the challenges encourages you to gather some materials the hard and inefficient way.

I would love to see you play without being so ain’t about the particulars and just have fun

Can u combine stuff at workbench ? 😂

6:42 I have a general question about this... if you find a working chemistry station/workbench/cement mixer, is it possible to lay a land claim down and then pick them up to take back to your base?

Could you please raise the video volume in future videos? I'm on mobile and it can be kinda hard to hear.

horde night podcast 😂😂

I love that you blatantly don't play the way they want you to. Lol No sarcasm

I hate the vultures they are so effing annoying

what is the mod for your stun baton that charges every other hit

What Version of 7 days to die let you keep your empty water bottles?

if you don't build and don't care about the horde night xp, why not just disable the hordes altogether?

The new armor system almost makes me not even want to buy the game when it comes to console

PLEASE CREATE NEW HORDE BASE VIDEOS❤

Yeah this game definitely has gone wrong path, I played console version recently alpha 15 and I actually like that game a lot more than current version, there was a lot of cool mechanics like wellness, better farming system, learn by doing and much more, realistic graphics instead of cartoony is also a huge benefit, I think they completely ruined the game when they decided to add quests with pois and make them dungeon style now all you do is just farm and speedrun them to get op items, the game doesn't feel like survival game anymore which is the worst thing that could have happened to this franchise, if I was on Fun Pimps place I would just entirely scarp current game and revert everything back to alpha 15 and keep developing game from there, because it was peak 7 days to die

Is spear not good anymore?

8:45 funny that's exactly what my ex said to me

tier 4 rewards are even worse

The zombie ai has gotten so bad.

I watch enough of your video to understand your humor/frustrations. But some time you really don't at like you enjoy this game anymore. you like of sound like Lumbergh from office space.

So lets just get all the level 6 weapons and tools from quest and be bored by day 20... This is better than what it was before, as far as leveling, it does matter, you can cure sprains with a point in physician, you can jump 2m if you got 2 points in parkour and so on, little things like this changes the gameplay. Sure rewards still need a bit of tweaking but its far better than what it was before being handed literally endgame gear as early as like day 16-18. Game is suppose to be challenging its a survival game.

among us

The more videos I watch from YT creators the more 1.0 loses its appeal tbh. It's all so utterly 'meh' and has added almost nothing of interest (other than new POI's which are always welcome). The difficulty spike added to the vastly reduced rewards means attempting tier 2 and 3 infested with a potato gun and a toothpick, no thank you. I am all for challenge but they really have lost the plot with this (imho).

Cops, birds, demos and spiders all could take out someone camped on a rooftop.

This really doesn't bode well for 1.0 yikes.

All quest rewards suck.
