Challenges Are FLAWLESS With NO ISSUES in 7 Days To Die 1.0 [Episode #3]

[@snootchie3341]

Bit of a pain but you might find it helpful to track the challenge. When you track it it will tell you "Equip bone knife/ stone axe" and when you equip it it will highlight any nearby sources for the challenge

I have noticed too that you get way more armour books than you should be getting w/o putting any skill points in armour.

[@Verschal]

they go on the main stats. (strenght etc)

[@boopearth5697]

Dude the challenges are so anal about every single thing like they believe the best way to get pipes is to use your stone axe on a toilet???? but at least you can track them and it shows you exactly what you need to whack i suppose

[@Blitzcreeper239]

You know what's the best irony? I distinctively remember Joel introducing wrenching to disassemble items in Alpha 13 teaser video and he explicitly mentioned and showed wrenching a toilet for pipes. And now we're back to making that very thing redundant.

[@shadowrypre]

It's not the best, but it is the earliest that you can harvest them. Yes, there are other things you can hit to get pipes, but this is basically a tier 0 tutorial for new players. I am sure there are other ways of wording and coding to make it work, but I am not going to get that into it for something so simple in the game.

[@sorcesscores5366]

That is kinda crazy. I have 10k hours in the game and have never hit a toilet, let alone with a stone axe. I find the idea preposterous lol

[@boopearth5697]

@@shadowrypre the worst one is wrenching the leather desk chairs for your first 10 mechanical parts???? why not tell the player picking them up and scrapping them in your inventory gives you 6 leather? why make them beat chairs???? its almost like who ever made the challenges has never actually played the game

[@benjaminmoore3432]

Some of the salvage ones don’t work. The steel one suggests street lamps and vending machines but only vending machines count towards steel. The mechanical parts mentions shopping carts, office chairs, and destroyed generator banks but carts don’t count. Haven’t checked the other 2 yet. I hope they fix that because it is super annoying

[@Nymphetimine84]

Another great straight forward video, with honest opinions! Thank you for another great one.

[@CS-zb3ff]

I watch your videos the most, because I appreciate your honesty & sarcasm. I love using stun baton in A21, so I'm glad you're doing an intel build for that in A22... er V1.0, so I can see how it'll work (I'm not anxious to download A22/V1.0 because I have buildings to finish...building.

[@zhamirdiaz3196]

If you track the challenges, it will highlight the things you have to harvest for credit. It's not every item that gives credit.

[@SFDeltaGaming]

I can attest to this. it's incredibly dumb but I was able to knock out the harvesting challenges this way.

i use for light armor: Rogue Hood for Loot Bonus (2% per Tier) Enforcer Outfit (crit resist 5% per Tier) Preacher Gloves (Undead Damage 10% per Tier) (looks like the best overall gloves) Enforcer Boots (Run speed 2% per Tier) or the Rogue Boots (Safe fall Distance 1m per Tier) And a Nerd-Chest in my vehicle for book reading.

Well, they took 6 years developing a great sandbox survival game, then used the following 5 years scraping everything made a mediocre looter shooter

[@seanhumphries7389]

I had the same issue with the polymers, turned out it specifically wants you to gather them from blue plastic barrels and shopping trollies if you track it it'll give you the hud icon when you're close, massive pain that it's so pedantic

[@zlatanmorrison8182]

Do we feel it is a lazy cop-out by the fun pimps to up the 'difficulty' by making the zombies bullet sponges with huge uplifts in their health pools?

[@mani21axe40]

I've never been a fan of bullet sponge=more difficult. If they wanted to make it more difficult in a reasonable manner, they should have decreased body shots by a great deal, making it required to be more precise with your shots. That's what I think anyways, that or play up the actual survival mechanic that's supposed to be in the game, faster water and food drain for an example

[@engineeringtheapocalypse]

Never forget that they gave us magical armor that will increase your melee or ranged damage significantly thereby negating the health boost if you choose so...

[@travellingslim]

Having thousands of hours definitely hurt the attitude on these challenges. Here's a way to look at it: the challenge teaches new players different ways you CAN obtain or do something in the game, but the specific challenge asks you to do it a certain way to complete the task. Sure, it'd be nice and almost expected nowadays that you should be able to do it with any tool from any source, but it's just not like that yet. It's the first iteration so maybe with feedback they'll start generalizing them.

[@terrymoose7273]

Fun Pimps: Let's increase all the zombies health that will make the game "harder". Also the Fun Pimps: Preacher Gloves (Damage against the Undead increased 10% per Tier). That's a bold move, Fun Pimps let's see how it works out.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Don't worry, they'll nerf the preacher gloves down to, like, 2% per tier.

[@joonaslaitinen9520]

Lets just hope they will fix challenges when stable comes out. I understand that you actually have to craft/mine stuff, but it should not matter what tool and where we get the stuff. Idea of challenges is really nice though.

[@just_ed_07]

farming or beds i think now is the way to go for cloth . love the content

[@Figworm]

The bike is interesting with this update. Not only does it run away when you get off. If you try to mitigate that by braking. The braking distance is much long then the previous alpha. It's like trying to stop a boat now. Also there is this noise it makes, similar to when the wheel (IRL) is canted and rubbing against the frame. At first I thought it was happening when stamina got below 50%, but it randomly does it a full stamina as well.

[@gothaminsanity]

Just do as you're told!

[@ernie3249]

Yeah, the lack of crit resist shows, but good news! There is a whole row of challenges to fix critical hits you've taken...with that considerably less First Aid. I found that only water barrels counted for the polymer quest, only vending machines for the harvest steel, mechanical parts from office chairs. Despite listing multiple sources, it wants you harvest from only specific ones, but does not specify.

[@chrissharples8027]

I was able to buy iron tools from the trader on day 2 with 2 points in daring adventurer, they were level 1 but are way better than lvl 1 stone tools

[@elimelechelohim9983]

I noticed that stuff harvested inside active quest POIs dont seem to count towards challenges, but stuff just laying around does. Might be to stop farming, as in harvest, start quest, harvest again? Just a thought.

[@knurlgnar24]

The ONLY thing that gives you progress toward the polymer goal in this experimental release is plastic barrels with a stone axe.

[@TPguard5]

Get full heavy armor but the chest piece should be preacher for the -20% undead damage. This will make you have 102 armor rating and zombies start to heal you when they hit you. 😂

[@FlufferNutterSandwich]

I hope a modder fixes the challenge system. Why didn't TFP just show the player a small pop-up banner, and automatically display it when you complete an event? It's annoying to make the player need to enter the challenge menu to claim the event as met. You'd think with preparing for the console players, they'd want the player to spend less time in a menu if possible. The challenge system is buggy as well, it doesn't recognize alternate ways to salvage items.

[@snootchie3341]

Like specifically wrenching forged steel from vending machines. Why? Street lights and transformers are more abundant, and the vending machine needs to be broken to safely harvest. So odd the focus on bone knife and stone axe as the harvesting tool too, especially when everyone I watch is getting a toilet knife by Day 2.

[@jonsmith9617]

I am curious as to whether the Int horde base will still be viable. My horde base uses 2 Rs's at the top of the ramp on either side and 3 smg turrets, right by me so I can easily reload them.

[@NA-uz7co]

They still work. Difficulty wise, nothing has changed in a meaningful way

[@Yaumyt]

The objectives are to like gather specific resources with a specific tool but I guess the real challenge is to read the whole text and not just take the easiest/fastest route

[@sabriinnnaaaa]

the ghost bike had me cracking up

[@LastKnight0727]

lol, how hard is it to just make an object list for "knife" and "axe" then have those be the tool/weapon to harvest with?

[@Aantihero]

for those gather this with that things I found if you track it than the game will only take you to the right thing to salvage the right item. Also for collecting 5 honey trees it saves SOOOOOO much time

[@budycelyn]

i've tried making a lvl 1 stone axe and attempting to do the scrap polymer thing and mine still doesn't count up, also seem to be an issue with ladders and breaking a leg when jumping off a bicycle moving at top speed but maybe that 1 is right :D

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

Yeah if you want to get radiated zombies by day 21 just kill a ton of them on the day 7 and day 14 hordes. And the way they buffed up the boss-type zombies the slower you can get to those ones which are potentially radiated ferals the better.

[@RedSliceGaming34]

Knives are still pretty overpowered. You may have to get up in a zombies face but your so agile and dont use alot of stamina and you hit like a little truck.

[@Rdlprmpf12]

Early game yes. But later they start to become a bit lackluster. The bleed DOT doesn't scale and is just a tickle for the health pools of late game zombies. The machete swing is worse than the stab action of the bone and hunting knifes, but if you don't switch you're fighting with a T2 weapon in late game...

[@lanmandragoran8337]

I've been dealing with the same problem with challenges and my friend is like "nuh uh, you didn't bother reading the quest right", and harvests the 1 thing on the quest that ACTUALLY works.

Things are very specific like get 10 mechanical parts from harvesting with a wrench, I have broke down at least 30 cars gotten about a stack of the darn things haven't completed it yet, it was the same thing with the electrical parts wasn't until I scrapped computers and tvs did I actually get the challenge done.

There is not that much to do, if you want to make a mod with an RPG style, they will improve and add more deep to this. If they want a simple and classic survival mod, they will just scrap this

[@Bluerim_]

Check out the enforcer gloves, I think at lvl 6 is adds 60% melee damage, and lvl 5 is 50%

The preacher gloves do the same damage increase, but its for ALL forms of damage, guns included. Specifically to the undead, but they're the main issue.

Honestly 1.0 is such a disappointment so far, I was expecting big things from a 1.0 update after over a decade in alpha just for it to feel like an alpha 22, things don't feel polished, there were no major additions or reworks, just som minor changes don't get me wrong it's a great game however I would have expected some actual content that changes how you play, like yea you can say armor is content but it doesn't really change much, you just craft the armor with your desired benefits and hop right back into normal gameplay They should have given us Bandits, fixed the zombie AI, done a complete quest rework, give us a complete skill rework, give us another skill tree, give us a POI or biome overhaul, or literally anything of actual substance that would affect more than a small part of gameplay And if they think the game is nearly complete as is and doesn't need any major content they should have polished the game more such as fixing the building, give us more qol, fix zombie ai, try and fix some of the bigger alpha 21 complaints, etc

Dude is negative about almost everything in this game yet he plays all the time....

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Because the challenge design is legitimately flawed. There's no real reason to require the use of primitive tools. The important, actually instructive part, is knowing what you can do and why you would want to do it. E.g. screw requiring a Bone Knife for stuff, and instead tell players that it is the knife class of weapons/tools that matters for harvesting meat. The Bone Knife is just the _likely_ tool players will have on hand at the start.
