Popularity isn't equivalent to perfection, it just means something is good enough for most people to feel it's a worthwhile use of their time and money.

It's funny, if you're an old zomboid player I imagine you think this game is unironically a steaming pile of shit because you've been suffering nearly a decade of dev shenanigans. Now I know what new players of the game I used to play feel like, used to always ask myself how the fuck they could enjoy this dogshit game before I quit. I guess when they haven't been along for the decade long ride of constant retardation by the devs it's hard for them to agree with us. Is that what gaming has come to, though? Developers cycling through different audiences because they can't ever deliver on their promises long enough to satisfy any one audience, so they just shift to a new demographic of people who don't care if the devs live up to those promises or not?

>>2157567

Yes.

did they fix the broken stat gains, endurance and desync yet?

What do you think

>>2157567
I bought the game in 2023 and had no expectations or promises. I somehow got 60 hours out of it, which is pretty good honestly, but then was disappointed with how shallow it is.
Maybe other people keep it going with mods and stuff, or otherwise don't mind it being unfinished.

>>2157567
>Is that what gaming has come to, though?
Yep, absolutely.
Once you pay and play 2 hours, they get to keep your money. Why the fuck should they care about satisfying you when they can spend 10 months of the year on paid vacation mental-health-leave?
A new generation of zoomzooms will show up, watch some retarded paid-streamer playing the game and give them another round of cash inflow.

How buggy is b42 multiplayer?
I played SP on release day and weight, traits and all sorts were bugged. But i havent played since and not with multiplayer.

>>2158457
Massively buggy because the retards built a singleplayer build of the game and squished multiplayer into it, instead of building a multiplayer build and ripping out the networking to make singleplayer like EVERY OTHER DEVELOPMENT STUDIO.

pretty new to the game. got 42 unstable and playing multiplayer with a friend
there seem to be a lot of issues regarding movement. for example, on his screen, i am standing still, but on mine i already walk forward 20 steps. and then eventually it syncs up but this seems to happen frequently
also a lot of delay between when i walk and when i see it reflected on his side

is this because im playing on the unstable branch, or is it that way on the 41 stable too? because if it's a 42-only thing i might just switch instead

They moderate their own subreddit and blocked and banned everyone on a thread about surplus zombies appearing as black silhouettes because "y'all are raycis!!! We stand with our lord floyd and BLM!!!!". They added literal gay porn magazines to the game. One of their devs is a self-described autistic furry, something the jannies here tried to bury by deleting posts from multiple people talking about it.

>>2157113
That wasn't your argument though. Your argument was its so unpopular that they have a marketing member shilling on 4chan of all places. The person then showed it's not unpopular. So then you move the goal posts?

I miss that graphic style compared to the current one. I think the one in between that one and the current was better too.

Zomboid is the only game I am aware of where you can have a calorie hyper-surplus but still starve to death.
Does Lemmy think that 'hunger pains' are literal?

Can somebody please explain why they went out of their way to turbo-nerf a well-appreciated trait into complete uselessness, only furthering the balance issues with the trait system in which there's more traits that nobody uses, than traits people actually use.

>>2163886
they did that with the other perks as well, it was supposed to fix everyone taking "free point negative perks" every run, but just like the new fatigue system it just comes out as anti fun
new fatigue system incentivizes gun use like it wasn't already a high risk last ditch effort or a clearing use weapon choice
at least we now have crafting and armor though

>>2163895
It's baffling though, what sort of retarded spiteful freak would go out of their way to program their game so that the vast majority of players won't actually interact with the systems programmed?

>>2163898
i think it's just geared towards player immersion and multiplayer, to avoid jack of all trades stuff they made it harder to level up fast on everything forcing you to focus on more narrow set of skills
the melee combat was nerfed with fatigue system to make people be more wary of going melee and was boosted by new craftable armors to balance out the early game power drop
the ranged weapons being loud as fuck was made so people would be more careful about just going full mad max in crowded area and having to whip out a gun in a city makes for nice get away scenes

i kind of get what they're going for but it will feel frustrating in the early game when your character will tire fast, is practically naked in melee and has to keep his guns holstered due to low ammo and high risk
i think the crafting system would have made the game way too easy otherwise, they added a shit ton of armor to the game and with the old system (as seen with mods) it would have been overpowered and ruined the game

>>2163901
It's a singleplayer game though, why would they have such a hardon for making solo play painful as hell?

>>2163903
i think they just got carried away with multiplayer balance because that seems to be a very popular addition to the game, don't think they have singleplayer balance in mind anymore
maybe some NPC mechanics can remedy that with letting you have back up or adding items like combat stims that could be crafted with alchemy could fix it
right now i agree the singleplayer experience is pretty awful with the new muscle fatigue system, forces you to build athletic stuff
kind of makes sense though, it's hard to survive alone in zombie apocalypse

I give myself 28 free trait points in sandbox. I set xp multiplier to 5x. Simple as that

NPCs, storyline scenarios and convenient creation of said storyline scenarios would fix this game. That's it, that's all the game needs. Everything else is a cope that can be fixed or adjusted or added with a mod or sandbox settings.

They don't actually know how to make a fun system so they settle for making the game hard. But zomboid isn't a hard game past your first experience with it, the combat is very basic. So they can only make the game more tedious.

>>2165023
Sick and tired of needless tedium in gaming.
Starfield made me incredibly pissed off when I realized they deliberately gave all the merchants only 5000 credits, which is barely anything at all.
So the only way to get credits to make a better ship is to wait in place for 3 days, then sell more and repeat.
I eventually just added a shitload of credits to merchants with console commands, having to fix their retarded game for them.

Game has serious issues of not giving loot-lists minimum values, so there's always (and often the case) the possibility of a specific item outright not existing in huge areas of the map.
You're telling me that the entire fucking military surplus store has not a single fucking rifle (despite selling magazines for them), and not a single sling canteen?
Why are they selling 3 CRATES of 5.56mm ammunition but nothing that uses them?

B42 is a preview of the futures updates for the people who wants it. If a new player pushes the button of download they will get the B41 because is the stable one.

You should be 'Thankfull' because this game is still updating, people give that for a granted but this game could well stoped development once the cars were introduced and call it donzo.

Anyways you can have your own opinions and i only posted here to express that this game make things at their own pace and the result is excelent (often because changes are driven by the community).

PSA: STOP PLAYING BUILD 42

Alright, I can’t believe this even needs to be said, but apparently some of you are out here PLAYING Build 42 like absolute madmen.

Let me be very clear, because subtlety is clearly dead:
Build 42 is UNSTABLE.
Not “kinda janky.” Not “rough around the edges.”
UN. STABLE.

Which obviously means it is NOT MEANT TO BE PLAYED.

I don’t care that it’s the newest version. I don’t care that the devs released it publicly. I don’t care that Steam lets you opt into it with two clicks and a warning popup. Those are all clearly traps. Psychological tests. A litmus test for self-control.

If you launch Build 42, you are:

Invalidating bug reports

Personally stressing the developers

Corrupting the sanctity of your save files

Playing the game wrong

>Yes but the devs want feedback-
No. Incorrect. If they wanted you to play it, they would have called it Build 42 (Definitely Safe, Go Ahead). Instead they called it UNSTABLE, which in software terms clearly translates to “Look, but do not touch.”

The correct behavior is:

Opt into Build 42

Launch it once to confirm it loads

Exit immediately

Return to Reddit to post “REMINDER: UNSTABLE BUILD” on every screenshot, clip, or fun story someone shares

Bonus points if you add:

“This is why you shouldn’t be playing unstable builds”

Extra bonus points if the post contains a bug, because that’s illegal now.

In conclusion:
If you are playing Build 42, stop.
If you are enjoying Build 42, stop harder.
If you are having fun, you are doing it wrong.

Thank you for coming to my completely necessary and definitely helpful PSA.

TIS delayed multiplayer a whole year, and there were just so many complaints, they just decided to teach the beta testers a lesson.

UNSTABLE does not mean PLAYABLE, it is a way for developers to test "unstable features" for feedback, bug reports, balancing, etc for the test branch. That is why there is a specific branch strictly for testing called "UNSTABLE" and the playable stable version (b. 41) on it's own to not cause disruptions.

Instead of saying " it is not ready for unstable" why not give actual informative feedback about what you found frustrating so that maybe itll help the game or something.

Its almost as if its called "UNSTABLE".. Seriously, what did you expect? If you want a stable experience, wait for STABLE.... Dude..

>Finds bug in B41
>Reports it
>B41 is not the newest version of the game, CHUD, pay attention!
>Loads up B42
>Same bug
>ITS UNSTABLE!? OKAY!? DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND! PLAY B41 IF YOU DON'T WANT BUGS!

>Buys an early access game, installs the unstable unfinished upcoming update which is plastered with warnings all over and proceeds to get surprised it's broken.

Either stupid or bad bait.

I mean we tried telling all you "Give us multiplayer now or else!" posters that it wasn't ready yet since they still aren't even finished implementing all of the crafting changes yet, but you all refused to listen to reason. So welcome to your monkey's paw wish, and the sincerest thank you for breaking a lot of those features for us in SP as well, on top of pretty much every mod that worked fine from 42.0 to 42.12. Just substitute that word "thank" with one that begins with the letter F, as in press F to pay respects.

>When the Unstable Beta version of a game is in Beta and Unstable

If it's bothering you, then maybe switch to the official stable version meant for regular play. How the hell do people sign up for test builds that are supposed to be broken, then get mad that they are playing a test build?

Buys a game in early access.
Deliberately chooses to install an unstable build instead of the default stable build.
Deliberately chooses to install a beta branch of said unstable build.
Installs mods without confirming that they're compatible with the chosen build.
Complains about bugs.

Now that there is a skill issue.

P.S. I'm playing b.42.13 with a 40+ item modlist and it's fine.

Multiplayer isn’t released actually. It’s accessible through an opt in UNSTABLE beta.

Imagine that, the unstable version is unstable and has a bunch of bugs. Crazy, let’s all boycott the game:clowney:

Jesus f***ing Christ, people always whine. In every situation, no matter what happens. The update were around for less than a week, and kids already demand fixes. I'm sure glad PZ is financially successful, because at least it does compensate for all the spoiled whiners day and night, year after year.

They used to spawn fucking Army zombies too, not anymore.

>>2167405
Why go through all that when one molotov would get the job done?

>>2167435
I want to get some of the army loot off the army zombies and I have shitloads of bullets laying around.
Also the pathfinding there gets all sorts of fucked up due to the fences, and the fire risks burning all the army tents.

>>2167421
That explains why I never see any good loot in those two Westpoint houses anymore.

>>2167476

600+ shotgun shells and I already used up all my .308
I hope this is enough to clear the fucking checkpoint.

Managed to trick a bunch of the retards into a campfire, saving me probably hundreds of shots of ammo.
Lemmy fucked up the zombie AI on purpose, when they get set on fire they cluster in huge circles instead of following noises.

Well, the checkpoint is cleared basically now. Found like three M16's because I tuned the loot to not be total ass.

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure the last we've had even a glimpse of a proof of them actually working on AI was back in the Steam release iirc when they made zombies open door for a short while.
This was around 2013.

>>2168468
You chose CBN? I see the good parts of it but unfortunately due to muscle memory i am conditioned for cdda or clg, 0.H is fine.
Tips? At least in cdda, drop a paper onto the ground and light it on fire. Stand opposite to a zombie and its easy kills as it burns and you whack it. Is it cheese? Well the game is quite unfair in the beginning so i think not.

This seriously gets on my nerves when discussion about the game is taking place.
Some dude will bring up trait balance, and someone will list five modded traits which have no relevance to the actual game.
People will brag about how good a weapon is, despite the weapon being from a mod.
People will show elaborately dressed and equipped characters who aren't even wearing a single vanilla item.
Like seriously, fuck off and make a 'modded zomboid community' or something because there's more discussion about the modded game than the actual game at this point.

Uses Romero zombie lore for the most part, only humans get infected.
Except, you know, the zombies magically have great pathfinding and can lunge rapidly.
That totally happened in the Romero films!

>>2170449
Watch day of the dead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBX7orUiIxU
Romero zombies have varying degrees of muscle memory intact at least before they heavily decay. They tried to introduce this a bit in the walking dead, with morgans wife almost opening the door to their house, and then in the later seasons where some zombies were seen climbing fences and I think throwing stones. It makes sense, because the brain is a plastic machine that optimizes for doing the things it does most often. If you were reduced to your most base instincts while in your bathroom, you'd probably still flip the light switch on your way out.

>>2170469
Romero's films get retarded as early as the third one, at most they remember places they used to go to. Hence they all show up at the mall in the second film.

>>2170472
Okay why do you get to arbitrarily decide when it's no longer "romero zombies." In the third film the zombie shoots a guy and salutes.

>>2170478
Because Romero broke his own rules?
If the zombies in Return of the Living Dead started flying in the third film and shot fireballs, that doesn't mean Return of the Living Dead zombies can fly and shoot fireballs, it just means retarded retcons were made.

>>2170483
Where were the rules that you say are being contradicted formally laid out prior to the third film? The zombies were not seen doing things in earlier films that they were seen doing in later ones, that doesn't mean it was impossible in that universe or that the creator wanted to imply it was. That's not a retcon.

>>2170490
That's the exact definition of a retcon.
Romero shamblers are horrific mindless beasts with only the most minor of memories of when they were human.
No, they wouldn't pathfind around a whole fucking fence just to avoid falling over.

>>2170491
>That's the exact definition of a retcon.
No it's not. Bub in the third film was a rare case and took encouragement. There was nothing saying all zombies are this capable at all times, or that all of them act this way such that any behavior of zombies in the past film no longer fit within the rules of the universe. There was no retcon. We were made privy to more information.
>No, they wouldn't pathfind around a whole fucking fence just to avoid falling over.
Depends on the zombie and depends how rotted they are, according to Romero's films.

Even if you wanted to try to reconcile them not being completely retarded, with fences they would step over fences without falling instead of walking politely around them like they're going to knock on your door. It could have even been mixed in like random sprinters so it's not every zombie

>>2170500
How rotten a zombie is, has no effect on Romero zombies.
Actually Romero zombies don't rot, they just turn blue/green with small lesions and stuff.

>>2170502
>could have even been mixed in like random sprinters so it's not every zombie
Yes it should be like this from a lore and gameplay perspective. Zombies should have a few traits that affect their behavior and approach. Sprinters, climbers, smarter pathing, door openers, window smashers, etc.
>>2170503
Unfortunately for you nobody cares what you arbitrarily decide is true.

>>2170507
You should try watching the films, where they don't rot.

>Does Lemmy believe that diseases just spring up from nothing? We get sick from other humans getting us sick. If everyone is zombies, they aren't giving us the fucking flu.
Funnily enough, that's where the game is unintentionally being realistic since Germ Theory is Talmudic superstition from Israel Rabinowitz, a dear friend of Pasteur.

>>2170629
Dying Light and L4D2, that's pretty much it.

Picking outdoorsy makes your character functionally immune to the flu/cold.
I was literally laying in the rain for 2 solid days and didn't get sick.

Why did they add skills like knapping and glassmaking? Who is touching those!?
Just make it like the ascii CDDA game where you have base skills and then proficencies under that.
>Survival Crafting. Proficencies of: Knapping, carving, the other one
>Fine Crafting. Proficencies of: masonry, glassmaking, blacksmithing, metalworking, pottery

>>2170864
Carving should be merged with carpentry and renamed to woodworking
Knapping should be merged with masonry and renamed to stoneworking
Similar to how blacksmithing and metalworking should be merged into a single skill

>>2170867
>The indie stone's reaction:
NO FUACKA YOU!
ELECTRICITY GET ANOTHER 2 YEARS OF NO CONTENT!
GO MAKE YOUR CLAY POTS.

>>2170868
>can make wooden spoons, bone hair brushes and clay pots alongside 100 different pickled chilidog recipes
>electricity and "plumbing" is still just jedi magic

I just think it's fucking weird the player can build a fully functional tree-cutting axe from a sharp rock, a tree branch and some rags, with basically no knowledge whatsoever.
But to make a fucking wooden club requires arcane carving knowledge that no mortal man will gain in their lifetime unless they spend every minute carving wooden forks.

State of Decay 3

>>2166376

Ah yes. Fromsoft is notorious for
*checks notes*
Making you repeat tedious in-menu crafting actions for multiple real-world hours
Wait shredding sheets isnt hard, its just fucking boring

>It's not a bad game design if nobody uses it, and instead everyone agrees that it is not a good game design
How far up their own asses are these clowns? If everyone is upset with your decision, it's not a good decision! It just means you like shit!

State of Decay 3 but sadly Microshart is behind it so it will possibly be even more dumbed down. Survivalist sequel but I don't know if the dev is actually working on it or something else.

>>2170921
>Wait shredding sheets isnt hard, its just fucking boring
The 2 things normies and contrarians will never admit are not difficulty: tedium and stupidly punishing consequences for failure.

>>2170924
They believe that having a mental breakdown then practicing mass purges of anyone who disagrees with them every time they encounter a differing opinion is a good thing. They are the people saying that any form of criticism is "toxic". They don't even play the game, as has been proven countless times. 3 years of development, and not one of them has just picked up a rat and tried to butcher it from a backpack? In 100% of cases, this created an infinite duplication glitch. Nobody at TIS tested B42 once in 3 years, period.

>>2171132
Just started trying to do the blacksmithing techtree.
Even with far-increased loot settings this looks like it's going to suck really, really bad. I managed to make a primitive forge but that's it so far.
Why is concrete powder so fucking rare when hardware stores often have like fifty bags of the stuff?

>>2171134
>Why
The answer is always the same, the devs either can't or don't want to implement true survival challenges in the game, so all they do is add tedium to pad the time it takes you to get to the empty end-game.

>>2170926
I'm pretty sure the dev gave up on the survivalist IP which is a shame. That nigga was seriously onto something with the npcs and he did it all by himself. Wtf?

>he doesn't know that Dark Souls most difficult part was spending 700 hours filing up tax papers

I find a hard time getting motivation in this game because I don't really know what the priorities are. I want to build a house from scratch but im just grabbing stones and sticks trying to build up skill and figure out what crafting recipies are during the day and returning to a house but I feel like when the water shuts off I'm just going to be stuck digging in my ass and die. I need a list of priorities I need my yellow tape dude.

how do you climb this

>>2171958
The average 1990's American didn't know how to climb ladders.

Lemmy calm the fuck down.

The game was more fun when shit was abstracted appropriately for an isometric game.
Why the fuck do swings and gunshots have precise hitboxes when we have no fucking depth perception ingame?

>>2172193
because they're implementing first person mode soon

>>2172064

they dont

What is your problem, they gave you an answer

How do you add ladders to a zombie game without making them overpowered?
Hardmode: Zombies cant climb them

>>2172272
5% chance of it snapping and making you fall and break your neck

>>2172064
You first nigger. Get made at the retard map team for spending time making ladder tiles in a game that doesn't let you climb the fucking ladder

why are the streamers for this game trans furries instead of white christian men?

why are men who love cock homosexual?

>>2172272
Climbing skill. Make it effect climbing short and tall fences too.

>>2172316
Sorry buddy looks like your climbing skill isn't level 10, can't let you use the ladder yet. You better go spend a few months grinding climbing by stepping over that waist high wall over there.

You can find articles from jewish journals talking about Rabinowitz, it's not really hidden knowledge, just never talked about in mainstream media or academia. In short: viruses literally don't exist, contagion is impossible and the spanish flu experiment in the US failed to produce a single case of contagion despite trying their hardest, all vaccines are useless and poisonous, what saved countless human lives was clean water and getting rid of feces and urine everywhere, to be healthy just apply common sense advice (eat well, avoid stress, do some exercise...).

For a short example about how bullshit the entire medical field is, let's take a look at "Hepatitis A and B". Do you know how those "viruses" were discovered? A jew named Saul Krugman worked in a school for retarded children and he fed them liquid shit. Literally, he fed them DIARRHEA. And when they got sick, he went "Actually, it's not the feces that makes them sick, it's a magical organism inside it!". That's a voodoo explanation telling you that the bullet from a gun doesn't kill, but it's the evil invisible spell put on the gun by a dark wizard that did.

Because a jew force-fed retarded kids diarrhea, you must inject aluminum and rotting monkey juice straight into your veins, that's the state of "science", then every moron in existence has the gall to mock the middle ages for bloodletting.

>>2172272
Climbing isn't instant and you're vulnerable to being pulled while doing so, similar to climbing fences.
But really the problem isn't ladders or stairs, but the fact zombies can be defeated by just standing out of reach.

This has happened to me like 4 times
Every single time I have to debug, spawn a vehicle, pull out the van from top of the trailer and continue playing normally.

It happens when I move far away from the van with the trailer attached, stays attached if I stay in the vicinity. I have to remove the trailer to avoid it happening, but then I can't make a quick getaway if things go awry.
Is this a feature of 42 or some mod issue? I don't have any mods that affect vehicles

>>2172800
it's just a recent 42 thing i think
i find if i leave my car+trailer and come back to see they're stacked, if i leave and come back again then they'll be side by side
then i get in the car and move forward and the physics instantly magnetizes the trailer back to my rear in a violent way
i'm also using autotsar trailers but i think it's happening to everybody

>>2172800
>>2172876
Trailers have always been buggy, towing in general.

>>2172800
B42 is unstable. You should expect bugs like that if you opt into it.
Play b41 if you want a stable experience.

>>2173154
>Play b41 if you want a stable experience.
Trailers aren't stable in B41 though.

>>2173154
>Play b41 if you want a stable experience.
You can't get that there either retard Take your (You) and fuck off

>>2159251
What's crazy to me is before adding multiplayer back to B42 they thought it was a good idea to add something like ragdoll physics to this game. I just want B42 to get stable-ish so I can play with mods in MP again for FUCKS sake.

Does stable actually mean stable in zomboid terms?

>>2173203
No, stable like horses.

>>2168468
>none of them even remember what's vanilla and what is a mod lol
That doesn't have to always be a bad thing (see Rimworld), but in the case of PZ the devs have no sense for what the majority of players actually want or how they play the game, and just autistically try to impose their retarded vision while breaking mods every goddamn update.

>>2173196
i still don't even understand what ragdolls are meant to add to the game

>>2173310
hitting something with a car and watching it turn into a different png is not as satisfying as it ragdolling it's not that complicated. Next they should add dismemberment.
