7 Days To Die - Save The Clock Tower EP2 (Elevator Etiquette)

[@chimmswortharchibaldpimpkinsIV]

Finally made it back to the morning videos. been watching since i was 16. im 20 now working as a plumber, when i was in high school i would watch your videos everyday in second period. now i can only catch you at 6pm when i get off. you make my bad days better. appreciate you glock!

[@Pandatwirly]

That’s really cool 💗

[@liastaob]

Gratz on getting into a trade! Also on making me feel even older!

[@merchant69420]

I still remember when 7dtd still looked like minecraft

[@jamesmullany2785]

You could try building a central support column, would stop them jumping the banister and add to structural integrity

[@SliceyMcHackHack]

I think hed still need to break all the railings first but I think that would be a net positive anyway

[@Darkness_Embraced]

Instead of the floor is lava, some of the zombies are playing the floor is quicksand instead lol.

[@voidangel64]

every time you talk to the naked baldy, I can't help but hear you say "shartnado" and I think I prefer it that way XD

[@Stovenator5000]

I would not consider slapping some ladders on the outside of the building as "building out"

[@MrTurbovic69]

it goes out from the building of the clock tower so yes that would be considered building out smhh

[@Narflz]

Yeah, that would be building out, but there's nothing that says you can't pole up removing the blocks as you go to get in

[@JoshdaKnight]

Neither would I but Glock keeps it honest by not going with alternative interpretations of challenge wording unless he needs to. I like that about his channel.

[@pilezzero969]

I think it is ok, as he has to repair the damage to the clock tower daily... sort of like notre dame, only with zombies

[@photoguy1601]

Agree with the others, but there's no rule saying he can't build a small tower next to the clock tower, where he can jump over to it!

[@dichebach]

You know, despite you constantly disparaging Sharknado, it is clear that that specific mob has a soft spot for you Glock. She often drops you a loot bag and she always drops with those cheeks pointed up!

[@KruellNationGaming]

Hey buddy, you can knock some Tower walls out and replace with ladders and get in that way. Replacing existing walls with different blocks isn't building out. The ladder block will keep the stability up and with your parkour high, zombies still won't get in.

[@WrenKainIV]

he's supposed to save the clock tower, not replace it with something else 🤣🤣

[@icy7472]

@@WrenKainIV Replacing parts of the clock tower and living > Keeping the clock tower the same and dying

[@Eliezar18]

Personally, I'd put in droppers. Knock out the stairs, make ladders up to platforms, then connect the platforms with a dropper, making sure they can't jump between the platforms with bars. Some will get through, but enough will drop to keep them manageable.

[@zackpersonal]

I think the only real way for horde every night to work is to extend the real world time of each day to give the most time to gather resources

[@icy7472]

Hey Glock, I think the challenge for horde every night has changed more into building better base designs quickly. Future horde every night series will become finding good base POI's and transforming them quickly to just survive the first couple nights until you're strong enough to build, and maintain a proper base. The faster you get cement unlocked the better imo, and maybe (when you find the trader) picking up materials like cement to upgrade the lower half of your base could be crucial in surviving, or at least delaying the zombies so the clock tower doesn't get destroyed by the end of the night. Also maybe if you had spikes on you, you could place them down when they make it through a choke (or are close to) to slow them down and give you more time to retreat whilst getting a little damage in. Pipe bombs are also really cheap so when you can eventually build them those would really help out. Sorry for the long winded comment, but I love your content and horde every night and I don't want to see it end!

[@Dave-nr3pd]

I never had a problem with the zombies going threw the floor until I added the new zombie mod so I took it out and everything went back to normal so it's that mod doing it.

[@itsmikedev]

I'm not so sure it's just that mod, he did have the same issue with his trapped inside series, I think Dishong tower. Granted that was a previous build of the game, but it didn't have a zombie mod installed. I've had the issue from time to time (fully vanilla), always in the tier 5 missile silo POI so you end up failing the quest most of the time. Saying that though, it is definitely worth trying without the mod installed if he keeps getting it next time.

[@Searching4Reason]

@Dave-nr3pd Playing the vanilla on PS5. I've had zombies either spawning under the ground or falling through it. I had a pit drop style base. After horde night, there was always a zombie beneath my tower and behind concrete. I knocked out the concrete to kill the zombie, and there was no tunnel.

[@benupde1979]

I have this issue all the time with Vanilla 1.0

[@knurlgnar24]

Mods may exacerbate the problem but zombies clip into the floor all the time in my vanilla games. Sometimes I get stuck in the floor too - that's always 'fun'.

[@thatrealba]

It's not the mod. I've had lot's of zoms in the floor in 1.0 and I've done a clean install for the full release.

[@trebet5196]

To me... the outside looks to have some panels at the corners... so a ladder on the wall between those corners isn't building out since some of the building is already out that far.

[@skoe3251]

You can always knock out a few blocks on the opposite side from your entrance and add a ladder there. They shouldn't see it as an entrance and will have a low chance of double atacking and getting to it since you can jump 2 blocks.

[@pineapple8008]

1:03 Mr Glock, there’s a second tower

[@therealkillerb7643]

Nice recovery on that one; really thought for a moment that this was going to be a short series but you pulled it out, again!

[@doomdog797]

A glock video always puts a smile on my face.

[@Searching4Reason]

You could take out the spiral staircase and put in ladders with platforms. Would slow them down if they get in. Use spikes on the platforms. Keep the platforms on one side and your ladder on the opposite.

[@kylebenton2726]

I don't know what's wrong with me, but the detriment in Glock's voice this entire video is entertainment enough.

[@StropeMan]

You certainly create a very interesting way to play this game. Your commentary is 2nd to none also, when you talked about hemorrhoids I lost it!

[@shannonmcc8161]

Cracks me up every time you call the one zombie Neebs. I was actually introduced to your content through Neebs gaming. Keep up the great content Glock9 and I will keep watching every episode.

[@robertmrobbins1815]

Glock the base of the tower is bigger then the walls so it's not building out but up as long as you don't go out side the footprint. So you can add ladders on the wall.

[@justinlockridge3191]

You should try holding down one of those new overpasses over the lakes.

[@TheSilverJedi]

22:55 If you do force them Out the Window, you can call it the Violent Femmes Clock Tower base.

[@JoelWigley]

"Are you feral Al Borland?" "I don't think so, Glock."

[@thegeographer7116]

Hey Glock, the bars on top hitting down (especially with spears - power attacks can hit a few blocks away) is the best/safest setup by far. I also found this the only viable way of fighting hordes when I tried the Trapped Inside challenge. If you are feeling adventurous, you can put sloped blocks on top so you can crawl under even lower!

[@chriskosch3294]

Seems like a perfect place to set up a fighting position like In your other series underground since you are finding Winnie’s under you.

[@michamikekit]

JaWoodle made a ladder horde base where he could melee them in one of his older series. Might be worth looking at. With such a confine area it work well.

[@alecfiggins9251]

Crazy this has a second episode

[@GoRideYourBike]

He didn't hear no bell

[@jamespotkins6237]

Well done Glock. See, Horde every night is the only way to play! Beast!!

[@books1798]

This series is amazing chaos!!! Thank you! Just my 2 cents, but the tower is, technically, on a stepped platform. In my mind that would count as part of the structure to build on. It's just a shame Horde Every Night ain't as viable as it used to be.

[@Nexadon]

Dude!! I thought you were toast like 5 times! LOL Keep up the great work, G9!

[@grunkleman4280]

Great fun to see you working through the problems and you’ve given us some interesting game play options to explore. Loving this series and seeing you push and test the boundaries of what’s possible.

[@grantbollaert5508]

Always fun when you think a series is only going to be 1-2 episodes. Let’s go!

[@d.mat.zero6525]

get rid of the stairs in the tower and do a ladder all the way up to the top that leads to a door platform let them gather then drop them. you can also do blade traps on the way down. lastly if you do a horde every night you should the 1st 6 days no horde then start horde every night from day 7 forward

[@Firebuck]

You could probably get some zombies to fall out the window even without a sledge turret. The zombs broke the floor block below the window... replace that with a pole rotated to be flush with floor. Thin as possible but still pathable. When the zombs bunch up under the scaffold they might push the zomb standing on the pole off, so they do their falling animation right out the window. 😆

[@dogfacemarc7784]

Nice, and you survived yet again. I had a zombie glitch into my base floor, no mods. Had to go into god mode to find and dispatch of him. TFPs always want to blame mods if you have any. Very enjoyable looking forward to many more... don't die.

“Taking the cornmeal” should be a common phrase for when someone’s not doing so great. “Lost my job, been taking the cornmeal lately.”

[@spuccih]

If you knock out the stairs and just place blocks minecraft style, instead of running up the stairs, they have to pause and hop to get up. Could help slow them down.

[@gregorygoggins5091]

[@gregorymonaco793]

You could pole your way in every night, picking up the frames as you go, technically not building anything

[@mightywarbeard163]

Love the dayly update! 😊

[@GatorDunnAZ]

You’ve probably already recorded the next episode, but you could always add more ladders below to bring the zombies to the frame floor you put down and have the scaffolding ladder at the top. Then you won’t take hits from the side and you can back up out of range easily.

[@tristanhersker]

You can set it up so that there are ladders heading up instead of stairs and it leads to a whole where you smack them down and if you make it high enough they won’t go into rage mode and they will just try to get to you all night the only problem will be the dogs!

[@undertaletimetravler3635]

I have an idea for a series. You either have maxed out the one of the skill series or one set of perks. And you're not allowed to put points into anything else and you've got to run it like that.

[@billy.471]

If the top part of the tower is 12 blocks up, I say, knock out the stairs & give em ladders to come up to the fighting position. Then, as you melee/shoot em off, they won't rage attack the tower.

[@lystrup6817]

Awesome job!! I think in the tower, you should knock all the stairs out and use ladders and different levels with scaffolding and doors to open up to drop them.

[@Proctor519]

You could take out the stairs and put in blocks so they have to jump up over and over. Might buy you some time.

[@jwilliby7]

Take out the stairs and put in ladders to save room so you can put in trap doors You can also enter by jumping into a two high opening

[@theoduce1695]

The spear is a good idea, gives you ,I think, one more block reach.

[@kerokerocola8306]

I have an idea on how to do a setup for some melee on the tower, since the tower is 5x5 I created a diagram for the second floor setup (I hope is clear enough). First: You can start on the second floor. Clean the street level floor and put a ladder for the zombies to climb from below. Second: destroy some outer walls to gain some room ("south and north side" as in the diagram bellow) and destroy all of the floor blocks. Third: put the centered pole path to your defenses (from "south to north"), that way some zombies will make it and some will fall. Fourth: repeat on every floor until construction limit. You can even put some barbed wire on the open spaces to deal some damage to the zombies while they fall. Cheers! XXFLX D= Defenses XODOX L= Ladder (south ladder for the zombies to climb, north ladder for you) XOPOX P= Centered Pole XOPLX O= Open space XXFFX X= Wall F = Floor

[@dannypinggera2599]

if you make just a bridge out off the tower some meters long or to a building. the zeds will not use it as a path you but you could use it to go im and out or just use frames before horde starts. i mean you only said you defend the tower and that will not break the rules. maybe also switch the club to knuckles (! with all abilities it doesn't matter how much you get hit), stun batton, spear or sledge. i think they work better in this setup.

[@adriyasats1840]

The cubicle is fine, it's the job that's a cage.

[@Great_Wall_of_Text]

@@Shawizzlegaming Only if you build cubicles for a living.

[@DragonicTerror]

I would think a ladder up is reasonable since its not a horde feature, just entry into the tower. This is gonna be brutal as is so a little benefit of being able to shore up front defe ses feels reaosnable to me.

[@Hatchet521]

Umm if the roof sticks out a bit further than the base of the clock tower, maybe add a rope hanging down to get in quick and can block entrance off with scaffolding bar… turn the bottom 2 rows of blocks to bars as well

[@WolfGang_679]

Hey Glock I think you’ve got the right idea with choke points. The problem you’re having is that they aren’t reinforced enough to keep them from immediately tearing through it I think instead of having hatches at the bottom doorway use two sets of bars and a half slab. The bars being your reinforcement blocks and allowing you to see through them and the slab keeping the zombies from climbing through. Also, using the different landings as choke points is a good idea but make them bigger. Instead of having to aim down at them past the hatch. You could follow the same pattern at the bottom but place the hatch above the slab allowing you to jump through to the next choke point in case they fail.

[@robertwheeler6641]

As you said dude definitely a spear needed for that longer reach. Also consider some blocks that they have trouble standing on such as the really thin 0.50 beams, once they fall over they'll fall off back down to the bottom. And like some others have said, lose the stairs and put in blocks that make them jump. Will slow them down massively.

[@DarkestPorts]

Loved the elevator moments in this episode! 🚀 So many close calls and great teamwork! Can't wait to see what happens next! 🕹 Keep up the awesome content! 🙌

[@caryrichardson43]

Get rid of the stairs, add a ladder. Chokepoint at the top.

[@Phille5439]

For the stairs knock out those handles and put some kind of bars in. Having a letter outside going down the tower would be a good idea instead of falling. Spears and bows and maybe a few wooden crabs or spider crabs woodwork.

[@TheVespap200e]

I hear panic in Glocks voice! Things are really starting to heat up! Next episode should be a dozy.

[@RedWolf-qw6uc]

page 15 in block shapes and its the second one from the left.. Crown 3 sided. Zombies cant get through but you can. put in the doorway at bottom of clocktower.

[@bryanbeard9431]

Maybe try building it like your 4 by 4 one off ? And or knock out some of the stairs and add ladders then poles back to ladder then poles or stairs just something to slow them down? Anywho been watching for quite some time enjoy the content.

[@mikeslebodnik8512]

[@Marc_von_Hoffrichter]

14:15 . Shes feral. Yep, had a few like that too! Cheers mate.

[@Kamyarsheykh]

Make a choke point as you did on the roof with a ladder to a mid-empty block and 45 angled security gate block on top around it also bars that you stand on and hit through the gap this way you don't get hit and they pile up on the ladder the top security gate prevent them too come up and you have the gap to hit them I think you can go with it 10 days just cobblestone.

[@kaygerry]

Well, if your tower is three across, you can put a ladder up the middle edge block on any one of the inside stairs and have a slanted security grate at the top, and it'll push 'em down the center hole when they stack and they'll fall to the bottom. And then put a junkie on the block Next to the ladder with a window opposite, and it can just yeet them out the other side.

[@LeveleUpGaming]

Glock 9...proving the Impossible, Possible!

[@bobfwoter2513]

Nicely done sir

[@TheBlueB0mber]

The only viable option I see is some sort of looping path that spirals up the tower with a zombie dropper & traps. If Glock9 tries to fight them at the entrance they will eventually glitch thru the walls and kill him. Guess we'll see what he comes up with soon :P

[@BeforeFriday]

24:48 a spear might be able reach

[@scottyundiscovered]

Remember the set up you had on your lucky looter series? The ladder set up. Maybe something like that up the middle and find a way to put them in a loop.

[@TheProcrastinator3000]

I feel what you Said about that cubicle xD xD

[@ThatoneguyHim-nz3mz]

You and neebs should play together that would be a good series

[@DrPipedream]

Maybe "tightrope" the stairwell platforms where they gather with thin poles. Make them push each other off into a loop or go full cheese with some wedge blocks. I like making them jump up into wedges so they bump themselves off the cliff for a bit less cheese.

[@joshuacooper1332]

The base of the tower steps out one block, so adding a ladder on the outside is not building out.

[@markmongan]

Cautious Pancake excels at speciality blocks. No idea how he does it. Not really your style to kite them with zombie force fields and such but I really can't think of a base here. I'm sure you will. I hope :) Ladders instead of stairs. Don't know. Need a level playing field. Scaffolds, yeah, maybe. Could work. It's an idea.

[@sorcesscores5366]

Feral Kenny gon getcha! Oh, and I’ve found the double half plate shape to be good in that middle section of a fighting position.

[@thetheatredoc8550]

Beware the floor zombies!

[@afacelessname1378]

Maybe a bit late but a spear would give you extra reach.

[@DirtSweatGears]

I still think you should allow yourself to place traps, explosives and furniture outside the clock tower.

[@foobar1735]

I do like the new storm sounds, they did a good job on the new thunder and lightning sounds...

[@RyllenKriel]

Beware the Sinead 'O potato zombie tornado!

[@kareningram6093]

Hey Glock, since there are small ledges on the outside of the clock tower, a ladder would not be "building out" because it doesn't stick out further out than those ledges. So, IMO, a ladder on the outside is totally fine.

[@ELPix_79]

You can create a loop with a ramp block, rotated in a way that zombies will push each other ou of the tower. With a hollow ramp is possible to shoot. Or, you might use the same build you used at that pit base series, with a door at the floor, so they can fall when you open it.

[@sodapop1311]

He's in the walls, he's in the god damn walls!!!!! 😂

[@ds43045]

Hey glock just an idea since you dont want to build a ladder on the outside of the tower, you could build a pole that is not attached, with a ladder to climb the pole. Then jump into the window. It wouldn't be adding anything to the structure of the tower and it wouldn't affect zombie pathing so I think its perfectly fair.

[@bryanlonger8646]

Connect the 2 clock towers with a bridge...once you get a couple of forges..

[@evilpeachesofdoom]

Hey Glock, the clock tower already has lights and other items on the outside of the building. Ladders won't do anything to the building a light / random sign would do. As a viewer, if you want a ladder, I'm good. If you feel bad, strip off the buildings decor, then your replacing like the door.

[@barretmusselman9977]

Get rid of the stairs make the tower hollow and use ladders to bring them up high, so high they dont go into destroy everything mode when they fall or dig a pit for them to fall iinto at the bottom. Have a fighting platform at the top were you can swing at them, Have sloped bricks over the top of the ladder to push zombies off if they stack up at the top. You could have the ladder go up oneside of the inside of the tower and you could put your platform on the other side or stand in a window. it wont be much room but theres not much you can do. If your going to go with your idea get heavy armour and beer atleast for the horde.
