STATE OF DECAY 2's NEWEST UPDATE 37 BRINGS NEW CONTENT & BIG CHANGES! 

I'm still waiting for enclaves to attack me. I've heard about it yet never got it

I love State of Decay, but it's definitely NOT a sandbox.

like RL outside of cities

@@georgeharris572 yep, like anywhere that's got none to minimum light pollution. The game's pretty much nothing but open sky like you'd see in a rural town or suburb, and not surrounded with the heavy structures of a city like overpasses and high-rises. So it would work just fine.

It's pretty nuts! and they are significant changes to boot! I'm a big fan

​@SunnyGamesYT glad to see you're still jamming it out and presenting new content/updates. Thank you for doing what you do so well.

Agree. One of the main reasons is that by keeping up with SoD 2, they are keeping interest up for when 3 drops. It’s a good marketing idea

They’re using state of decay 2 as a test bed for the 3rd game seeing what’s good and what works best

They have to since the game won’t come out for another 2-3 years lol

Thank you!

​@@stateofdecayyo actual state of decay replied

yep. with a sad face i removed this mod and the shorter nights one.

He helped Implement into the new update, not sure if Undead labs payed him, or something, but it got implement from his code or whatever it is.

I was thinking about this two maybe with affects like rain the zombies hear less but cars drive less controlled.

They traded the idea for the curveballs

Game will never have weather effects. Maybe SoD3 will. My other wishlist top item was water you could swim through (and could be a barrier to zombies).

@@williambourque926 SoD3 should considering the 1st trailer came out with it showing weather, and the most recent trailer had rain I believe, could be wrong on that tho.

I forgot who said it before, but during one of the State of Decay livestreams a few years back, they said they would have to make double textures (dry/wet) for everything in the game. They also said something about it being difficult to make it rain outside but it doesn't when you go indoors...Idk? I always found it interesting because, 7 Days to Die which is a voxel space type of game which is vastly more demanding on the CPU and hardware, it has weather like rain, snow, thunderstorms, fog, etc. It also has HUGE 10km x 10km maps, and you can literally destroy every building, car, mountain, ground, the whole nine yards. It has many different biomes like forests, deserts, snowy mountains, burnt forests, wasteland, radiation zones. With that said, I love State of Decay, it's ome of my favorite zombie games, but getting weather to work in a game like State of Decay shouldn't be anywhere near as difficult as it is in 7 Days to Die. Undead Labs is part of Microsoft, they should have no issues implementing weather with the resources at their disposal.

Unrealistic. With most city lights died, starry sky is actually bright and somewhat visible. And the moon is even brighter. Pitch black night could only happen with major cloud cover.

Except the moon isn't always "present". New moons and crescent don't reflect a lot of light you know

@@k1ng_BL0C Go to the middle of the ocean at night...you can see quite well under starlight and the moon. Its never as dark as it was in game, even under cloud cover.

It's optional so shouldn'tbe a gamebreaker. But for people like me with eye issues, this is a nice change so i can still explore at night without cranking up every brightness setting.

​@@dond2377lies. I've been outside in that kind of dark before

I noticed that. My new base is pitch black on all assets

Facts i hate that. They would completely skip other survivors just to come after me like im special

That's a good suggestion!

Naaah i'll just lure a juggernaut on their base or recruit one of them..

Rain isn't coming in State of Decay 2. Fingers crossed we see different weather in State of Decay 3

@@SunnyGamesYT maybe some modders will try especially with the new Fog curveballs feature

Can't believe they made plague hearts harder

don't hold your breath

As far as I understand, they are trying to find a way to keep track of spawned zombies so that the spawning mechanics are not completely randomized anymore. The fact that zombies just spawn into existence when they are needed and despawn when they are not makes planning almost impossible because... well zombies do not exist until the player visits an area. This leads to game breaking situations like three blood ferals suddenly spawning just outside the field of view of the player's car, jumping onto the hood in the matter of a few seconds and wrecking the car in a heartbeat, stranding the character and leading to his/her death without much chance for the player to prevent it (it happened to me a couple years ago in a Lethal Zone run and that was the last time I played the game...). Having spawning mechanics that allows for meanigful scouting and planning is necessary in a survival game, especially on higher difficulty settings. That's why the improvement of the spawning mechanics (which was created with the prioritazation of mood and suspance in mind) should have been the primary focus of the development team since the release of the game. Without a fix for this issue, all other improvements are basically little more than "eye candies" since right now a perfectly fun and interesting, tens of hour-long game can be instantly ruined by the broken spawning mechanics.

Yup. My review stays negative as long as the game still spawns zombies 10 feet behind me.

I know exactly how you feel bro. Former USA player here. You just said what I’ve always wanted to say

For the most part, I noticed that I if I leave the community menu the ground has really low quality textures for a couple seconds

@@mcnuggetapple upon further play testing, I did notice a little bit of that, and I imagine however they ended up rendering the texture now I guess is faster or more stable than before. Also the static film isn't completely gone, if you look at specific grass textures it's there briefly but doesn't cover the vision as bad as before, I could say it's been reduced by like 95%, so it is a noticeable change

It pissed me off, I think it’s 2nd worst underneath black plague hearts. But I welcome it, it’s such an Annoying curveball it almost fun trying to play a different way

“Lethal” means “lethal” lol

@@KingLouis420th Fully aware. I came kitted out, carried out the strategy as best I could and then had a horde spawn feet away from me around the hive. Not it came in from a distance. Literally spawned around the hive on camera. That was a one off instance, but zombie spawns have generally annoyed me. Example, once I traveled to the other side of the map to clean out some infestations. Returned to base and another one spawned where I had just cleared them from. This was fixed in the infestation hive overhaul I believe. 7 days to die can manage zombie spawning, while State of Decay 2 cannot. Clear zombies around your base and you will enjoy some peace and quiet for a time. Head toward a town and enjoy your crap being wrecked. Gets better with mods like Darkness Rising greatly increasing the town zombie populations. I have great expectations for State of Decay 3. Fresh engine and design. They have a good chance of taking the crown for top zombie game.

What how? 😂

​@@gwizzzy you can still sprint forever just with a slightly uncomfortable looking animation, only dodging and melee attacks are seriously hindered by having no stamina

@@gwizzzy What do you mean how? Just run and even though you run out of stamina, and you go into the "exhausted" animation while still running, you still move at the speed of running. The only negative effect that exists is your melee suffers because of the lack of stamina - but you can just perma-sprint at that speed increase.

???

@@williambourque926 nah you don’t run as fast like that bc zombies easily catch up to you whereas if you’re sprinting they can’t

It's a toggle. You can make nights even darker if you want.

@@FakeEnema Oh ok, thanks!

It’s because of the tether system honestly. If we could start a community together with friends and maintain it together that would be 🔥

I hope so! Would love to see more updates before State of Decay 3 comes :D

There is an option to adjust it. Sorry i was wrong. There is no flashlight options. Only night bright.

​@@RoyoItakorideno?

@@RoyoItakoride there is not, you can adjust the night bright, not the flashlight

@@percinatto My bad, yep you're right. Thanks for pointing

100 % agree

Reset your controller mapping to default

So if i really want to be able to breathe under water i just have to try

Ubisoft should shut down and sell off

I can’t sing 😂 it’s my voice only with a bit more enthusiasm when I’m making a video. But yeah it’s natural me

U need more than 50? Lmao

They can be very random to spawn!

@@SunnyGamesYTWhere did the button go to turn on and off the curveballs?

@@resoody2it’s in the base menu. On the right side there is a seperate tab called curveballs. Then curveball settings is down the lower left corner of that same page.

It starts after 5 days

@@Dave-gg6vl thanks
