A Monserous Leap Forward... - 7 Days to Die 1.0 (Ep.8)

[@andreibossahtamon3950]

i love how the devs kept the direwolf design a secret so we all go "WTF IS THAT?"

[@MathiasGreenwalde]

I didnt see any till day 14 horde night. Fought probably 5-6 of them. They are, in fact. Not very friendly.

[@NO122221]

@@MathiasGreenwalde at least we can give fun pimps that they got good at modelling and sculpting. or they hired someone, i dunno

[@riptide6161]

I was sneak farming Z's in the Wasteland and one of them came charging at me but stopped about 15 meters away since he couldn't see me. I shot him... he charged again but stopped directly in from of me (like... IN MY FACE) and started to look around. I needed a fresh change of grundies after I gunned him down. And yes, they hit very hard.

[@bridgetfarace3597]

@@MathiasGreenwalde I had one show up on my day 7 horde night. I must have had to stab it like 17 times with my toilet knife to make it die. That is Not the kind of thing you want to deal with that early.

[@tremas3329]

@@MathiasGreenwalde Had 4 on my first horde night, but I was in the Burned biome. I also didnt actually build a base. Was going to rely on parkour, move across some rooftops and drop some traps, molotovs, etc. Mistakes were made.

[@CanisBlume]

I LOVE the flashes of horde night throughout the day! It adds an ominous feel and gets you all hyped for the horde night. Keep up the amazing work GNS

[@LesbianLoki]

Tem does indeed has incredible editing skills. It's super engaging.

[@Roobiekun]

I agree! The cinematic style and montages are top-tier!

[@Pointblank776]

I feel it has the exact opposite effect

[@Lorri.]

It has the opposite effect for me. It's like watching a good suspense movie but skipping ahead every so often to the ending and spoiling things. If I already know the ending, where's the suspense?

[@CanisBlume]

@@Lorri. I see that and at times I agree like for the demo for horde night. Maybe instead of the specific events like showing the demo it could just be general zombie flashes or maybe at the start of the video have like a quick preview flashes of blood moon for like 10 seconds

I ran into one of those Direwolves myself today and I had no clue what I was looking at lol. Scary beasts for sure.

For a sec I thought he had downloaded a mod or something, that was some gruesome looking beast.

Wow, that is extremely generous of you, I really appreciate your support! Thank you 🙏

[@lvparm]

That horde night scene was editing genius 👌

[@d4cto]

As for the mines, Jen has a voice line: "Did you know you can pick up land mines with a wrench?" So it's either a joke by devs to make people kill themselves or it actually works like that - I never tried it.

[@foobar1735]

lockpicking has always been complete garbage in vanilla... DF has the Skyrim style, which is 1000x better...

[@reasonableq419]

I am still in awe over the jump in subs in the last two weeks. Around 6K? Congrats @temreki!

[@IaIaCthulhuFtagn]

You know it would take less space to bring the nerd piece with you than to bring the magazines home. When stealthing, you can hit triggers to wake sleepers, but they don't actually know where you are, and just wander (and sometimes run) towards the trigger.

[@mechanical_chaos]

Love it when we get flashes of foreshadowing!

[@Fool_ofa_Took]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who peed their pants when first encountering a dire wolf 😂

[@Tiilhouse]

I thought he had a mod installed 😮 what in the 7 layers of hell is that new Direwolf!!!!

[@VergiI_Sparda]

9:04 yknow. You deserved to drop that F-Bomb, but I admire your ability to hold back and not because I definitely wouldn't have been able to LOL. woulda been funny though!!

[@liastaob]

That was dad levels of restraint, for sure.

[@Gochen86]

Saw the direwolf's new design and the first thing that went through my head was: "DAMNIT WESKER!!" As for the base... it took a lot less damage than I thought it would. I guess the frost from the arctic conditions helped hold the mortar together and keep the base relatively intact.

[@TheFatesBack]

Man all the editing and effort put in really makes this such a cinematic and enjoyable experience.

[@davecisneros5285]

Roaming sleepers are a new AI, they did not wake up. I'm surprised you didn't know this! It's very cool.

[@virtuaconker85]

yes I believe they are called scouts, fantastic new addition to the AI

[@Kevlin0069]

Having sleepers semi-active also plays into the improved stealth mechanics. You can stay hidden and use stones to lure those sleepwalkers out for you to ambush.

[@lanmandragoran8337]

The nerd hood: I've found its abundantly less tedious to bring the hood wasting 1 space, wear it, read, take it off, than it is to cart loads of books to and fro across the world.

[@TylerMoreno40395112]

The editing on this video series is amazing and I can't get enough of it!

[@PinneSund]

Probably one of the best series I've seen on this website. Editing and cinematics are top tier! Well done!!

[@waltermcgarvin8001]

The the first Dire wolf did 42 pts per hit. 43 pts of damage from the 2nd one! I notice that the bottom of the ramp is sitting on snow... seems like that could be a problem if the wrong zombie were to blow up there. The fact that Repair was available should have been an indicator. The cinematography for the Horde Night was AMAZING!!

[@millsdjr]

Locked and loaded, let's go Tem!

[@richbaldwin7579]

GNS your builds are unmatched. IMO its the best part of the game. great work man!

[@carstenyilmaz6499]

the biome difficulty really ramps up the zombie strength. a friend and me had demo zombies during our first horde night in our wasteland playthrough

[@darkguild69]

Hey Tem do you think putting blade traps at the top of the stairs from the pit would help clear out zombies. I was also thinking that maybe a blade trap or two on the roof right above your fighting position would help clear out the zombies right in front of you. They would run up and get decapped right away hopefully and you could repair the traps easily.

[@Damian125id]

21:14 you can see how the body dismemberment lags up the game there. Hopefully they have a workaround for that.

[@MrMeatloafsndwch]

Not sure if it's the dismemberment or the explosions. In the dev streams it looked like lag spikes when explosions happened. Hope they fix that.

[@god-pit6080]

Seems like a lot is affecting performance. I just set up a base in the wasteland and man my frames took a hit. Crating alone drops them hard!

[@diane9812]

I’ve seen bad performance everywhere. So much for the promise of optimization. I feel like these guys weren’t great coders to start and iduunno. Didn’t plan well.

[@franklyn9926]

I had my own run in with the zombie direwolf yesterday. It was in a tier 2 POI, the animal handling building to be exact. I went from 115 HP to 1HP in 4 hits. This new zombie animal is crazy awesome.

[@Araknis_Slade]

First Dire Wolf I saw was during horde night day 14. I was like, "sweet Jesus WTF is THAT?". It took one swipe at me, took a whole chunk of health out of me, gave me a concussion, and just for shits and giggles, infected me as well... ME: *mag dumps 9mm pistol into the hell beast whilst screaming* OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT... hooo, so that's a Dire Wolf huh? I guess I have Dire Wolves now. Wonderful...

[@tprepke]

Love the editing. Much more enjoyable to watch the content. Kudos.

[@TDurden527]

Definitely the fence with spikes. Damn, stealth is back.

[@kskdaredevil8512]

Probably wouldn't be bad to go into Intelect and throw them from the base with a stun repulsor on a stunbaton. Nice work. Congrats for surviving horde night. It got me killed because I didn't expect demolishers this early and paniced when they blow my base.

[@JustIn-mu3nl]

Yeah, as Glock9 says, it's the best melee weapon in the game for sure.

[@mikearge23]

8:58 I was mining one night in the desert and a whole horde of those “Dire Wolves” came sneaking up on me and scared the life out of me. Good thing my vehicle was nearby. That’s something i would expect to see in Darkness Falls. Not vanilla 🤣

[@try2bcool]

If you refuse a job you look at for trader Jen, she tells you of a rumor that she heard you could pick up landmines with a wrench. XD

[@blaazikenz]

This is the best editing I’ve seen for 7 days to die

[@bearnaff9387]

You were severely outclassed in terms of zombie resiliency vs your DPS - and that just shows how excellent your fighting position design is. You were punching well above your weight class. It seems that TFP have changed the difficulty and progression up a bit, but your base front-end is able to keep up.

[@ChristopherMarflak-i8g]

Bro your editing on the videos is so good. Sweet ass base love it

[@derrilking83]

Keep the nerd hood gear in the bike and read magazines between pois. That might be less tedious

[@MrCypherdiaz]

Yup exactly what I do since you only need the outfit. Hoover them all and then out to the bike for the outfit

[@alcyone1985]

The music for the horde night brings back ur 1st playthrough of Darkness Falls. Good choice

[@KleinpeterHank]

What a difference one demolition zombie blowing up makes. Everyone hated them when they were added in A18 but they definitely make the game more interesting.

[@thewynd]

I'm new to your channel and just wanted to say your cinematics are wonderful. Learning a lot as well

[@Jasenspeed401]

Wow! They have really nerfed the rewards in 1.0. Tier 4 and you are getting 1 single item of food?!?!?!? WTF?!?!?! Loving the episodes though. Please keep up the great work! Can't wait till the next episode.

[@reasonableq419]

I understand not wanting to give out maxed out gear in quest rewards but they essentially made quest rewards 125% worthless and the only reason to do them is to force loot to respawn

[@JaimeColleenRichards]

I yelled "one hobo stew?!"

[@MrCypherdiaz]

Why do I get magazine bundles for t1/t2 but not beyond. Like wtf.

[@Greenhawk4]

I've seen this point a lot and to be fair you do also get a lot of stuff from the POIs

[@MrCypherdiaz]

@@Greenhawk4 including Tier 6 gear in infested caches in T5/6 missions

[@snottytoe6957]

The direwolf is awesome. I have been really wanting more zombie types that are an actual danger, but rare to encounter. Something where when you see it, you know you might die. The feral wight used to be like that but not nearly as much for me anymore. I have been using the behemoth mod, and that does it very well.

[@Jansgasm]

wow, the way these videos are edited is so COOL and enjoyable to watch.

[@JohnDoe-fo7yi]

My suggestion for the nerd armor inventory issue : keep the armor IN your inventory. In that case, you can periodically swap into the nerd armor and read the magazines on the spot, freeing up your inventory at the cost of a single inventory slot!

[@riftbox6599]

Nice slow mo and flash gotta say 10/10 production on this one!

[@nicholsonc23]

Only playing on Warrior, day 6 dog horde in the burnt forest when I was mining iron. 2 dire wolves and 3 dogs... I died before I could even nerd pole

[@udamthewaster9454]

What the dog doing

[@tremas3329]

I kinda like the process of saving the books for base when i can put the Nerd Chest on. It forces me to be a bit more picky with what i carry out of POI so I dont end up with quite so much clutter everywhere. Alternatively, leaving one slot saved in the bike etc just for the chest piece is another viable option.

[@TheReporanka]

This content is one of the best i've seen on any lets play. Truly epic s*it. 7/6 quality.

[@chrishubbard64]

Awesome idea for traps. Build a "guard tower" alongside your base that is setup to shoot two dart traps directly across your fighting position, and with a couple smg turrets as well. Keep it unconnected except by wires to your base to avoid any pathing issues and build a second on the other side for symmetry and to protect both positions. That way you have a street sweeper switch you can flip to brutalize the zombie hordes without having to door dump them. Give it enough of a gap so even a demo blast wouldnt reach it as both darts and smg turrets have a decent range

[@j-p4194]

Yeah dart traps, maybe a sledge turret would be nice for that fighting position. I was also thinking, down the line, if you could use a powered door and connect that to a switch you might have an easier time dumping zombies instead of trying to see in between those security gates.

[@Salkinmusic]

The industrial spiked fence are sick, I use them too. They add a bad ass feel to the base 🤘

[@czesawcz]

That rads buff is just insane. Massive health boost, and it seems (at least to me) that they are more common. That combined with much slower weapon progression... I got swarmed by 10+ rads (2 mutaded, 4+ soldiers, 2+ spiders, and some hasmats) in tier 4 infested clear loot room (one of Fort POIs), on day 16. I had t6 stun baton, and t1 toilet pistol :P. Managed to take out maybe 2 of them before they took me out. Should have just run away :( Or into mine field, but I do not have the book, so it would not be easy in Forest biome.

[@erniewelz]

I’m sure I’ve seen that new Dire Wolf model already. That thing is hideous. I’m not looking forward to getting to that point. Been enjoying this series while sitting back on vacation for a week. Thanks Tem for the good times

[@Crazyphoenix373]

You definitely have my sub on this series. Fantastic video work!

[@PJeBenn]

Great episode, I am also playing knifes with my current play through. Great base. I'm thinking of renaming the game 7 days to find duck-tap.

[@degzee3630]

Take nerdy chest for magazines with you and read them when your full , takes 1 space only instead of taking many back in your inventory . Infiltrator 3 will allow landmines to be picked up if you want them .

[@brandonfindlay3601]

Love that demo’s come earlier now and best of all I was looting a Crack a Book in the Wasteland on day 6 at night and a demo came in. Sure I panicked and he blew up the front half of the store but now I know that threat is out there.

[@BlahBlah28126]

re magazines, you lose less storage, ie 1 slot, if you keep your Nerd Hood in your backpack instead of losing 2 to 4 to 6 slots to magazines if you keep them to take home

[@Ninsidhe]

I’d be making a super happy fun slide under the drop doors at the fighting position to deposit the zoms away from the important bits because that will be both practical AND visually funny 😂

[@user-ip6wq7vr7m]

Just blown away with the Dire Wolf, zombie dogs were and still are my biggest fear in this game, BUT THAT...well that changes things and not in a good way either lol.

[@GamingAfter50]

Nice save there when you first saw that Dire Wolf! :) It seems to me that the zombies have progressed faster than the player, could the XP from those challenges have anything to do with that? Great base build though, and solid until one guy lost his cool. Excellent series, unmatched editing, incredible creativity. Great job!

Wish you would have come out with this a couple days ago before I found one of these guys on my permadeath game lol. So tuff, I would have just ran instead of trying to shoot it and lived to fight another day. Side note, not a fan of spawning right on your loot bag on permadeath. Should spawn in the forest and if by chance you can make it back to your bag its like finding a dead survivor and getting all his loot, score. Dire Wolves look incredible, nice work TFP's.
