Appreciate all of the great feedback, thank you all! I think I’m going to change zombie day speed to run, because the walkers are just too damn easy to deal with. Other than that, I’m going to keep everything else the same until we fight our first horde and see how that goes.
When you crouch down, you get 20s of these footprints and on your map or your compass, you’ll be able to see an animal. You can hunt the animal for some easy food
Ah, was wondering what that icon was. Was kind of bugging me how he still had an hour left in the day but he didn't go into a house to raid a kitchen for some food. Another nice tip on this game: You can install a mod that gives you a bigger backpack and shows food/water bars in your HUD. Its a nice QOL thing that reduces time wasted doing boring inventory management (and having to open your menu to view your food/water levels): 7daystodiemods.com/bigger-backpack-mod-60-96-slot-with-without-food-water-bar-on-hud/ If you use the 60 slot version it only gives you 15 extra slots, so its almost vanilla like experience.
@@swearwxlf ?? If you bring up your profile you can, but with that mod you shows you the percentage of food/water from 0-100 directly under your health/stam bars. So you can always tell at a glance your levels.
17:09 - You should have bought the book "Wasteland Treasures Vol. 3" as it gives you a better chance to find acid in cars, medical equipment, etc. Would be helpful in the crafting of wheels. Surprised no one else pointed that out. Great concept and idea. We'll see how it goes. Good luck!
I really hope he buys every single book he can find. Since the theme is going full power those book bonuses can be pretty massive. Full brawling books and talents and you can punch an army to death. You end up with like 5 different crit debuffs in the end but you can do it.
At the same time, he'll probably find acid in every other car he salvages and in every other sink he searches. You only find that item infrequently *when* you are at a low game stage with low looting skills.
Recommend doing all the buried supplies quests first: building up the food supply first can save a lot of time later. Before I get the farm going, I try to keep at least two stacks of sham (beef, chicken, pasta, etc are too useful for later recipes, so I try to save them), and, if I get below that, I take another couple of buried supplies quests. Good start to a series!
SeattleNoona ! A little, but well worth it, in my opinion. The main difficulty is getting the materials for farm plots. Seeds show up all over the game, then, once you have specced into into it, you can create your own. Good luck!
Yeah, buried supplies quests seems like a good (start) idea since supply drops are disabled as well as loot spawn is also disabled..You will probably have to eventually make the gyrocopter to find loot farther away
Fun fact not many people have known : you can use a flagstone block in water and pick it up in water idk why prob a bug And Glock9NersForLife And im almost done with apcolypse 2 xd
Idea for other series (occured to me seeing this) The Specialists: start a series with enough XP to max out one skill tree. Maybe it would force different play styles, while still giving a bit of an accelerated start. If a skill tree is truly woeful you'll die and you can start a new series under a different skill tree *strength will be op for comparisons though*
I too had this idea to max out one skill tree and attempt playing like that, but most of the game is very reliant on a few things in the Intellect skills, such as being able to craft a forge to make iron and steel ingots that make basically everything in the game, a workstation so you can make basically everything in the game, plus Intellect is where you can have skills for turrets so you don't even have to leave your base if you have good enough defenses, like powered electric fences and such.
Idea for a series: Perkless You can put points into the raw attributes to keep up in damage with whatever weapons you find, but no perks at all. Gotta get by on what you loot and the schematics you find.
This seems interesting, I just think you should be able to get end game loot from the beginning like in alpha 18 but very rarely and in the hardest POIs, that way the world seems more random and give you a reason to risk yourself venturing in dangerous places.
Yep the new loot progression and the candies have destroyed the immersion of this game for me that's why I love Glock he's not a slave to the candy and actually does stuff that'll make his playthrough harder because he doesn't like a certain mechanic in the game take cornmeal for instance lol
@@joshd2013 I personally disagree. The new loot progression is something I've been wishing they'd add for years now! I hated finding a steel pick on day 1 and now the whole tech-tree of content regarding that line of progression is burnt. I feel like it made me miss out on so much of the game, unless I did some sorts of challenge runs! The new candies, on the other hand, I hate those with a passion!
Hes too tough with all his skills ranked up.... It will be easier than darkness falls. DF is epic. I dont know why he doesnt do a full playthrough on it. He barely touched on what the mod has to offer last time. It would be a real challenge starting on warrior, with no skills. Far more challenging than this. You even have an end game with the secret bunkers. I guess im a DF fanboy, but it just adds so much to the game, its hard to go back to vanilla.
The best zombie trap that I found on the console Is dig a 12 x 12 x 12 pit Put a trap door in the very middle with a tunnel going to two sides where you have your iron bars that you can shoot through and punch through. Whenever they fall the 12 blocks to the bottom of the pit nine times out of 10 they break their legs sometimes they die right away. Make a ladder down to the bottom of the pit And then put spikes everywhere except to your hatch in the middle. So you just have a path to walk to the hatch.
Man I love watching Glock. Realizes he didn't put down a bed so he harvests some grass to make one only to throw it in the chest instead lol. As for the series I would have gone ahead and learned all the books as well. That way it would have been a true Maxed Out run. I'm enjoying the series though. Can't wait to see how you do on the horde night.
Watched this video and thought, "OOOO, that looks like fun!" So, now I'm playing Maxed Out and loving it! It's very frustrating to know you can make all the things ( @Capp00 ) but you have to go looking for all the supplies and the zombies are maxed out too. Not an easy feat when you are still working with just a level 5 club and you get attacked by 4 radiated military zombies!!! So fun and I can't wait until the next video! Oh, and the zombies are running and nightmare at night.
If you can get some basic ingredients your hunger problems will be solved. Maxed Master Chef lets you cook high quality food. Example, boiled egg=5 boiled/grilled meat=15, bacon and eggs=36... spaghetti = 122. And all it takes is a can of beef rations, a can of pasta sauce, mushrooms, water, and animal fat (gardening has a huge benefit in combo with master chef, and with maxed living off the land you'll get 3 from every plant and be able to craft any seed with 5). High quality food also comes with buffs. Sham chowder gives you 80 points of healing. Also I hope you remember that you can craft a crucible with maxed engineering, so you could theoretically go straight to motorcycle or truck. And with maxed salvage operation you're going to get twice the harvested materials. I get enough brass from radiators to keep myself in ammo, and electrical parts sell for more than $8,000 for a stack of 1000 (which you can get from every appliance, computer, light, wiring, etc). Mechanical parts aren't worth as much, but 1000 will still sell for like 4 grand I think. You can also craft antibiotics already, but obviously you need a beaker to make a chemstation. Love the concept. This is going to be a fascinating series.
The Huntsman is not maxed, remember you are maxed out = you can pick up land mines, you can jump 3 meters, you can t break your legs by falling, you can have 2 robotic tourrets active at a time
Remember you can track animals since you unlocked that in your skill tree! That's what the green paw print icon on the bottom left corner is for - should help you not go hungry!
Amazing start to the series glock, strong start. Summing up the important points from other comments: Trader has a Wheel, and also a book that gives you a chance to get Acid from cars and equipment. Yucca Smoothie gives food, and you can use the hunter perk when crouched to see animals on the minimap on top of your HUD. And yeah, increase zombie speed to run during the day would probably make it a bit more challenging. Also also, little bit jealous of how you seem to find things you urgently need - such as antibiotics, wrench on day 1, etc.
Finally someone actually started with a maxed out character. If you were to really have survived till now, you would probably be maxed out on everything or close to it. Looking forward to this series being great, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a Glock9.
I mean after all, if civilization ended the hardest part of trying to survive would be the phase 1 survivors dragging you down with them by having no survival skills and starting out higher in number then makes living off the land possible. Many people think the weak will die off first when in fact, intentionally or not, the weak usually take the strong with them first just by being there and usually by wanting to pretend they know what they are doing and that they should be in charge. Or panicking. This is the first chance to level up. Its the storm before the regular rain.
@@rachdarastrix5251 ....That's all in the movies and fairy tales. Mother Nature says otherwise. Where did you think the Darwinism theory is based on ? It's more about adaptation If you do not have a skill set that is needed, there is no reason to keep you around.
@@petemoss8245 Sorry to triple dip here but basically think of it like this. The weakest branches on a tree still contribute to suck life away from the rest of the tree. You do actually gain experience learning ways to survive these "branches".
Love this kind of series thrown in for giggles every now and then. Just a plain old hack and slash with tons of great loot style of game, mindless Glock mayhem. Can’t wait for the hoard.
being maxed out definitely makes the game easier: your ability to care for yourself, craft, trade and build are greatly increased plus if you consider the fact that the game difficulty is calculated based on a combination of things, one of them is the length of time in the world(Day ##). Still an interesting idea and probably a fun way to play every once in a while. For me it takes away a big part of the longer term fun though because it reduces one of the greatest rewards in the game, leveling up. Doing this as a challenge type could be interesting though. Like, Can only use a certain set of weapons and hordes every 3 days on a higher difficulty could be interesting.
I play a similar series. Vanilla but with maxed out hordes and maxed out XP multiplier. So I get tons of XP and level up quicker. It helps prevent the game from being too grindy.
I love the concept of this challenge. Just cut straight to the chase and play end game right at the beginning. That was an exciting first episode dealing with radiated zombies and not having the equipment to do so. It kept me excited.
Best advise for the horde??? I would do a ghost town church set up that uses two sledge junkies positioned on the left side (Something Cap discovered is hitting demolition zombies does hot trigger there button when hit on the left side) with a pit of death. that way you can burn them while they try to dig out of the pit.
I think the hunger and thirst meter grows with your level. I remember getting in the 30's and canned food just not cutting it anymore. Good thing you have all the living off the land, cooking and hunting perks!
Cool idea for a series, because you have the hunter tree maxed when you crouch down it highlights nearby animals on your radar so you can go hunt them for easy food 👍🏻
This is going to be an interesting series I would love to see another darkness falls series on alpha 19 other than that I'm absolutely loving all of your 7 days to die series
Has anyone already mentioned stone or iron age tools, weapons series. Cobblestone structure cap. Molotov throwable cap. Shrinks your world without a bike and horde every night. Stamina perks would gain late game relevance. No wrench would be a hurt piece for sure.😆
What you don't realize is with all your skills maxed you are a super sneaker that does insane sneak damage and amazing amounts of head shot damage with bows. A bit reason why i like agility come late game. I can 24/7 sneak raid everything. That being said some POIs seem to have trigger locations where simply being in the location wakes up zombies. So even if you attempt to sneak, if you are not prepared you could end up in a world of hurt. Keep your feet light and your sledge ready.
Hey, I don't know if you know this or not but if you're doing a job for a trader, loot the building first then start the quest it will reset the loot so you can loot the same building twice. Works with every quest.
You have honey in your house. It was fun watching you beat the living daylights out of everything on day 1. Your attitude gets a little snarkier when you're more powerful, so that's fun to watch.
Lucky looter is a great skill. Better loot and faster looting. Also max cardio makes it so you dont lose stamina when sprinting if you have drank coffee which is kinda crazy
For the record, you can change the XML to let you level up with just 10xp to lvl 2, then you set the ratio (the multiple of the xp required for the previous level up) to like 40,000 so getting from lvl 2 to lvl 3 requires 400k XP. Set the skill points per level up to 4000. This way you are lvl 2, not at all likely to hit lvl 3 any time soon but with all the skills. I think that's the easiest way to end up maxed in low game stage. EDIT: Just realized this video is 9 months old. Oh well.
in my experience when you're maxed out like this, given you have reasonable gear you become _literally god_ against low-tier zombies. I think it's a fun way to play, as if the Duke's men didn't club you over the head until you forgot even the basics, but certainly not for everyone. For some reason I've always liked going light armor/stealth, even though heavy armor is far more useful during horde nights. I don't know, there's something fun about looting entire POIs without every zombie for a mile on my ass, tryna break down the walls n shit because I stepped on a pile of garbage. It also makes hunting a bit more interesting, since you can 'hunt' in the traditional sense instead of running through the woods in a 4x4 looking for deer and rabbits and wolves to run over and then mag dump with a desert vulture. Also, the ghillie suit jacket is awesome and I will miss it like mad when they redo the armor system. I hope they will add the extra slots for overcoats and clothes to the new system or have a way to modify the way the new armors look using armor mods and dyes so everyone isn't walking around wearing the same armor because it's the meta.
Imagine the main goal of the Maxed Out series is to max out your bank account and build the largest library in the post-apoc world. I'd watch the hell outta that.
if you want skill points without levelling for whatever testing, check out Rev678's admin skill points Mod on the 7dtd mod forums. Basically can spawn a 'quest' paper that grants you various amounts of skill points 1, 10, 25, 100, 250 and 354 if I remember correctly. Also nice for making your own open ended class system.
You can give yourself the skill points without the xp by reading multiple copies of the starter quest (say 50 which will give you 204 SP - enough to max out around half the skills so you still have to think where to put them) they all count as the same quest if you read them before taking the first steps on the starter quest.
All zombies walk in the daytime. The only exception are the ones inside buildings, football players and Wights. You can change the settings and make all the zombies run, but doesn't make them all feral.
I found this on fb ps4 7dtd page. Good info to go on ***FOR NOOBS*** !! IMPORTANT. !! Repost GAMESTAGE EXPLAINED What is gamestage? Gamestage is the base to how and what spawns in and how often. A low gamestage spawns fewer zombies less often. A higher gamestage, spawns more zombies more often. In the game mechanics, 16 entities spawn within a 320x320 area every game day. 32 spawn in a 320x320 area in a town. (Entities can also be bears, rabbits, chickens, deer) When you are deciding which spawn rates to use, this is what the percentage rates are relating to. The gamestage score is a multiplier of the the original spawning numbers. These will go as high as an additional 200%. Example: In a very high spawn of 150%, you will start in an town with 48 zombies instead of 32. But with a high gamestage, you could be getting up to 96 zombies per day. With a low gamestage, that number can be as low as 12. How does gamestage work? There is a complex equation that is followed to get a gamestage number. The higher the number, the higher the gamestage. Of course everything has a cap. The longer you live, the more multipliers you get. The more you kill, the more you get. When you die, all the additional multipliers to your base gamestage are reset. Every 50th day at 6am, the gamestage is reset, however you will have permanent mutlipliers to your base gamestage. This is sort of like a prestige mode on a tycoon style game, to give a closer reference to how it works. Horde night/bloodmoon: The gamestage is what makes the spawn number for bloodmoon There will always be a set number of 16 for bloodmoon, but again, the higher the gamestage, the higher the spawn rate. Our record with myself and one other was 478 in a half hour blood moon. The formula: The gamestage for multiplayer and private matches are based on the host and the player with the highest score on that server. For solo play it is just the host score. The days both players have survived added together, multiplied by, the number of days alive bonus + game difficulty bonus. You then take that total, and multiply it by the two players' scores, added together. Confusing right? Host score + player score (days alive X days survived bonus + game difficutly bonus) Difficulty bonuses: Scavenger-no bonus Adventurer-0.1% Nomad- 0.2% Warrior- 0.6% Survivalist-1.0% Insane-1.5% Days alive bonus: Multiply by 3 for every 50 game days. 150 days would be 9x not 27x Everyday that you survive with a higher gamestage, the game will literally try to kill you with more special and stronger zombies. If you are surviving many days without dying with a low gamestage, you will see more non zombie bears about. In my theory, this is why dog days happen. People with high gamestages seldom see dog hordes until after day 35. Final thoughts: It is important to understand how gamestage works. I may edit this post 100 times to help make it more understandable. It’s a tough topic to cover. The bottom line is, the more you kill and the longer you stay alive, the more zombies will spawn to try to kill you. In my experience, with some very skilled players, 135 kills a day with a maximum of 3 deaths in 50 - 2 hour days, gives you the highest gamestage. But you need to cover a lot of ground to achieve it. A map with a few towns is good. You can rotate two towns everyday and still have fresh spawns. The higher the game difficulty, even though the multipliers are higher, you will never get a large spawn rate. It takes too much to kill the zombies, thus creating a lower gamestage, leaving you with a dull and frustrating game. The best way to achieve max spawn is to stay with 150% spawn rate on adventurer and increase the difficulty every 7 days stopping at warrior.
I like the idea of this series. No messing around grinding for levels or looking for loot. Just getting all the fun toys and playing with them. Idk that’s how I like to play games
I'm appreciating seeing this as an experiment - What is the game like *if* I begin it completely overpowered, but with no items, and facing end-game monsters on day 1. However, I absolutely would not play this way myself. For me, the appeal of the game is starting with nothing, and struggling to survive from a very poor start. It is about compromising between which skills you upgrade, because you can only choose one or other, randomly finding items in loot, and making progression choices based on how things have been going and what items you've found. The early struggling part of the game is the *best* bit of the game for me. As soon as I am comfortable, with guns, a base, good armour, good clothes, medical supplies, and sufficient food, then the game just gets easier and easier and less appealing from that point onward. As such, I tend to play the early game, at hard settings, get a decent way forward, and then lose interest in that play-through and start again, on a new random map, in a different biome, with harder and harder settings. For me, a hard setting is putting Loot Abundance down to 50%. Another hard setting is playing in the Wasteland biome only. Another hard setting is playing without any trader on the map. Another hard setting is spawning at the edge of the map (not near any cities). I have also played Horde Every Night and Warrior setting too - but if you add in the aforementioned constraints, then the difficulty is magnified. Anyway, looking forward to seeing how this run works out.
Relatively new to the channel so I'm not sure if you've done this before, but I'd love to see some sort of "realism" playthrough rules: No "cheaty" bases (forcing zombies through a certain path and hitting them through metal bars with a hammer) No backpack expanding mods/perks No vehicles in inventory Three meals a day (three pieces of food. breakfast, lunch, dinner) No traders (you're the only one in the apocalypse, traders shouldn't have ak47's and stun baton's) add / remove as u feel, but would love to see this love ur content x
Haven't watched a Glock9 video in a little bit, bit I see your editing style and such still remains the same. That is awesome. This series will probably get me hooked again.
You have a perk that can help you with food. I forget what it's called, but it lets you track animals on the compass when crouching. Should make it a little easier to find animals.
I like this one. It was much more exciting of a start than other series. I thank this will end up being a "Live Fast, Die Young" series, but It could be one that could go for a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th edition with small map and rule changes. Keep this one up Glock...you beautiful Jersey Bastard!
You can jump higher now not needed for destroying fence or placing frames :) thats awsome :) as i know you can jump over 3 blocks high fence if i am not wring.
I like how you keep this game fresh with new series. It's important from a content creator standpoint because always playing the same game get's boring af for both you playing it and us watching it.
Legit fun idea! I feel like the devs gotta get some rag-doll animation on zombies who are both knocked prone and still getting beaten on ha ha Golf those suckers around some!
Interesting concept. I look forward to seeing how this series pans out. I speculate that initially it will be challenging. Once proper armor and weapons are acquired and there is an accumulation of goods and ammo, it will start to get easier.
Oh man, that junk yard was the very first base I ever claimed in 7 Days. Love this series. It'll be interesting to see how your base design differs from my ideas.
Appreciate all of the great feedback, thank you all! I think I’m going to change zombie day speed to run, because the walkers are just too damn easy to deal with. Other than that, I’m going to keep everything else the same until we fight our first horde and see how that goes.

Idea for other series (occured to me seeing this)
The Specialists: start a series with enough XP to max out one skill tree.
Maybe it would force different play styles, while still giving a bit of an accelerated start.
If a skill tree is truly woeful you'll die and you can start a new series under a different skill tree
*strength will be op for comparisons though*
I agree I would probably max out either health or scavenger because I am a bot
Maxed out Intellect is significantly stronger than you're giving it credit for. It gives Strength a run.

I too had this idea to max out one skill tree and attempt playing like that, but most of the game is very reliant on a few things in the Intellect skills, such as being able to craft a forge to make iron and steel ingots that make basically everything in the game, a workstation so you can make basically everything in the game, plus Intellect is where you can have skills for turrets so you don't even have to leave your base if you have good enough defenses, like powered electric fences and such.

Not an easy feat when you are still working with just a level 5 club and you get attacked by 4 radiated military zombies!!! So fun and I can't wait until the next video! Oh, and the zombies are running and nightmare at night.
I don’t know if anyone pointed out that the trader has a wheel for sale, thought it might be useful 😉. Looking fwd to the next episodes 🙂
If you can get some basic ingredients your hunger problems will be solved. Maxed Master Chef lets you cook high quality food. Example, boiled egg=5 boiled/grilled meat=15, bacon and eggs=36... spaghetti = 122. And all it takes is a can of beef rations, a can of pasta sauce, mushrooms, water, and animal fat (gardening has a huge benefit in combo with master chef, and with maxed living off the land you'll get 3 from every plant and be able to craft any seed with 5). High quality food also comes with buffs. Sham chowder gives you 80 points of healing. Also I hope you remember that you can craft a crucible with maxed engineering, so you could theoretically go straight to motorcycle or truck. And with maxed salvage operation you're going to get twice the harvested materials. I get enough brass from radiators to keep myself in ammo, and electrical parts sell for more than $8,000 for a stack of 1000 (which you can get from every appliance, computer, light, wiring, etc). Mechanical parts aren't worth as much, but 1000 will still sell for like 4 grand I think.
You can also craft antibiotics already, but obviously you need a beaker to make a chemstation.
Love the concept. This is going to be a fascinating series.
The Huntsman is not maxed, remember you are maxed out = you can pick up land mines, you can jump 3 meters, you can t break your legs by falling, you can have 2 robotic tourrets active at a time
1 lock pick will last the entire game too!
11:47 I laughed SO HARD!!! One of the best laughs while watching one of Glock's videos!!
16:50 "hopefully we can find the desert vulture"
Me: GLOCK ITS RIGHT THERE
Remember you can track animals since you unlocked that in your skill tree! That's what the green paw print icon on the bottom left corner is for - should help you not go hungry!
Glock: Looks around for ten seconds to find house.
Also Glock: That's the great thing about living in a cell tower, your house is always easy to spot.
Amazing start to the series glock, strong start. Summing up the important points from other comments: Trader has a Wheel, and also a book that gives you a chance to get Acid from cars and equipment. Yucca Smoothie gives food, and you can use the hunter perk when crouched to see animals on the minimap on top of your HUD. And yeah, increase zombie speed to run during the day would probably make it a bit more challenging. Also also, little bit jealous of how you seem to find things you urgently need - such as antibiotics, wrench on day 1, etc.
Finally someone actually started with a maxed out character. If you were to really have survived till now, you would probably be maxed out on everything or close to it. Looking forward to this series being great, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a Glock9.
I mean after all, if civilization ended the hardest part of trying to survive would be the phase 1 survivors dragging you down with them by having no survival skills and starting out higher in number then makes living off the land possible. Many people think the weak will die off first when in fact, intentionally or not, the weak usually take the strong with them first just by being there and usually by wanting to pretend they know what they are doing and that they should be in charge. Or panicking.
This is the first chance to level up. Its the storm before the regular rain.
@@rachdarastrix5251 ....That's all in the movies and fairy tales. Mother Nature says otherwise. Where did you think the Darwinism theory is based on ? It's more about adaptation If you do not have a skill set that is needed, there is no reason to keep you around.
@@petemoss8245 Um, yes, thank you for summing up what I was saying perfectly.
@@petemoss8245 Well, ok, technically, I was describing the consequences of keeping the people without the skill set needed around.
@@petemoss8245 Sorry to triple dip here but basically think of it like this. The weakest branches on a tree still contribute to suck life away from the rest of the tree. You do actually gain experience learning ways to survive these "branches".
Looking forward to this series, I hope Glock finally makes some farm plots for all the great food he now knows how to make.
Love this kind of series thrown in for giggles every now and then. Just a plain old hack and slash with tons of great loot style of game, mindless Glock mayhem. Can’t wait for the hoard.
Funny I always find my way to a cell tower for a great starter base or I do the small security building at one of the parking lots.
being maxed out definitely makes the game easier: your ability to care for yourself, craft, trade and build are greatly increased plus if you consider the fact that the game difficulty is calculated based on a combination of things, one of them is the length of time in the world(Day ##). Still an interesting idea and probably a fun way to play every once in a while. For me it takes away a big part of the longer term fun though because it reduces one of the greatest rewards in the game, leveling up.
Doing this as a challenge type could be interesting though. Like, Can only use a certain set of weapons and hordes every 3 days on a higher difficulty could be interesting.
I started watching this right when it came out and finishing it 10 hours later
Yucca Juice Smoothie actually gives you water and some food, should have bought it out of the vendor
The intro for a series like this must have a JOHN CENA or Chuck Norris vibe. Loved the concept and damn, it looks fun
I play a similar series. Vanilla but with maxed out hordes and maxed out XP multiplier. So I get tons of XP and level up quicker. It helps prevent the game from being too grindy.
I love the concept of this challenge. Just cut straight to the chase and play end game right at the beginning. That was an exciting first episode dealing with radiated zombies and not having the equipment to do so. It kept me excited.
Good stuff! The POI just to the east of the cell tower is my favorite for making a house. It is made of cobblestone, and has a basement.
Best advise for the horde??? I would do a ghost town church set up that uses two sledge junkies positioned on the left side (Something Cap discovered is hitting demolition zombies does hot trigger there button when hit on the left side) with a pit of death. that way you can burn them while they try to dig out of the pit.
I think the hunger and thirst meter grows with your level. I remember getting in the 30's and canned food just not cutting it anymore. Good thing you have all the living off the land, cooking and hunting perks!
Cool idea for a series, because you have the hunter tree maxed when you crouch down it highlights nearby animals on your radar so you can go hunt them for easy food 👍🏻
This is going to be an interesting series I would love to see another darkness falls series on alpha 19 other than that I'm absolutely loving all of your 7 days to die series
That biker took some of Jerseys finest bathtub crank 😂. This series looks like it's gonna be a wild ride!
Thank you for this, I had like an hours sleep last night fallowed by an extremely shitty day. I’m very pleased with this series.
the way gamestage works is
level x day / deaths
every day that goes by will make the game much harder
Has anyone already mentioned stone or iron age tools, weapons series. Cobblestone structure cap. Molotov throwable cap. Shrinks your world without a bike and horde every night. Stamina perks would gain late game relevance. No wrench would be a hurt piece for sure.😆
I like the idea it’s like picking in up in the sequel like your base got over run but you survive and you’re a season vet who a had to start over
Love the concept feels less grindy and so far seems balanced. Keep up the awesome work. 16:40 there is a lvl 2 .44 Desert Vulture
What you don't realize is with all your skills maxed you are a super sneaker that does insane sneak damage and amazing amounts of head shot damage with bows. A bit reason why i like agility come late game. I can 24/7 sneak raid everything. That being said some POIs seem to have trigger locations where simply being in the location wakes up zombies. So even if you attempt to sneak, if you are not prepared you could end up in a world of hurt. Keep your feet light and your sledge ready.
I really like the concept of this series! I never get to see the endgame items and it usually takes a long time to see all the zombie types
Saw the altar and wondered what u would say "Hail Satan" had me cracking up. 😂
Fun concept, looking forward to the series. Remember you should be able to use two turrets at a time now so don't toss the sledge if you find a junkie
Hey, I don't know if you know this or not but if you're doing a job for a trader, loot the building first then start the quest it will reset the loot so you can loot the same building twice. Works with every quest.
You have honey in your house.
It was fun watching you beat the living daylights out of everything on day 1. Your attitude gets a little snarkier when you're more powerful, so that's fun to watch.
Lucky looter is a great skill. Better loot and faster looting. Also max cardio makes it so you dont lose stamina when sprinting if you have drank coffee which is kinda crazy
For the record, you can change the XML to let you level up with just 10xp to lvl 2, then you set the ratio (the multiple of the xp required for the previous level up) to like 40,000 so getting from lvl 2 to lvl 3 requires 400k XP. Set the skill points per level up to 4000. This way you are lvl 2, not at all likely to hit lvl 3 any time soon but with all the skills. I think that's the easiest way to end up maxed in low game stage. EDIT: Just realized this video is 9 months old. Oh well.
Everything maxed only means action on all fronts!!! Great idea and I love the vids. The trader has the book you need to find more acid!!
Dude, you need to carry on with this series, regardless of difficulty. It's awesome. And it gives you a chance to use perks you otherwise never use!
in my experience when you're maxed out like this, given you have reasonable gear you become _literally god_ against low-tier zombies. I think it's a fun way to play, as if the Duke's men didn't club you over the head until you forgot even the basics, but certainly not for everyone.
For some reason I've always liked going light armor/stealth, even though heavy armor is far more useful during horde nights. I don't know, there's something fun about looting entire POIs without every zombie for a mile on my ass, tryna break down the walls n shit because I stepped on a pile of garbage. It also makes hunting a bit more interesting, since you can 'hunt' in the traditional sense instead of running through the woods in a 4x4 looking for deer and rabbits and wolves to run over and then mag dump with a desert vulture. Also, the ghillie suit jacket is awesome and I will miss it like mad when they redo the armor system. I hope they will add the extra slots for overcoats and clothes to the new system or have a way to modify the way the new armors look using armor mods and dyes so everyone isn't walking around wearing the same armor because it's the meta.
Imagine the main goal of the Maxed Out series is to max out your bank account and build the largest library in the post-apoc world. I'd watch the hell outta that.
if you want skill points without levelling for whatever testing, check out Rev678's admin skill points Mod on the 7dtd mod forums. Basically can spawn a 'quest' paper that grants you various amounts of skill points 1, 10, 25, 100, 250 and 354 if I remember correctly. Also nice for making your own open ended class system.
Glock:Im basically a super soldier
The zombies:so are we glock so are we
Glock:well shit
You can give yourself the skill points without the xp by reading multiple copies of the starter quest (say 50 which will give you 204 SP - enough to max out around half the skills so you still have to think where to put them) they all count as the same quest if you read them before taking the first steps on the starter quest.
All zombies walk in the daytime. The only exception are the ones inside buildings, football players and Wights. You can change the settings and make all the zombies run, but doesn't make them all feral.
I found this on fb ps4 7dtd page. Good info to go on
***FOR NOOBS***

GAMESTAGE EXPLAINED
What is gamestage?
Gamestage is the base to how and what spawns in and how often. A low gamestage spawns fewer zombies less often. A higher gamestage, spawns more zombies more often.
In the game mechanics, 16 entities spawn within a 320x320 area every game day. 32 spawn in a 320x320 area in a town. (Entities can also be bears, rabbits, chickens, deer)
When you are deciding which spawn rates to use, this is what the percentage rates are relating to.
The gamestage score is a multiplier of the the original spawning numbers. These will go as high as an additional 200%.
Example:
In a very high spawn of 150%, you will start in an town with 48 zombies instead of 32. But with a high gamestage, you could be getting up to 96 zombies per day. With a low gamestage, that number can be as low as 12.
How does gamestage work?
There is a complex equation that is followed to get a gamestage number. The higher the number, the higher the gamestage. Of course everything has a cap. The longer you live, the more multipliers you get. The more you kill, the more you get. When you die, all the additional multipliers to your base gamestage are reset. Every 50th day at 6am, the gamestage is reset, however you will have permanent mutlipliers to your base gamestage. This is sort of like a prestige mode on a tycoon style game, to give a closer reference to how it works.
Horde night/bloodmoon:
The gamestage is what makes the spawn number for bloodmoon
There will always be a set number of 16 for bloodmoon, but again, the higher the gamestage, the higher the spawn rate. Our record with myself and one other was 478 in a half hour blood moon.
The formula:
The gamestage for multiplayer and private matches are based on the host and the player with the highest score on that server.
For solo play it is just the host score.
The days both players have survived added together, multiplied by, the number of days alive bonus + game difficulty bonus. You then take that total, and multiply it by the two players' scores, added together.
Confusing right?
Host score + player score (days alive X days survived bonus + game difficutly bonus)
Difficulty bonuses:
Scavenger-no bonus
Adventurer-0.1%
Nomad- 0.2%
Warrior- 0.6%
Survivalist-1.0%
Insane-1.5%
Days alive bonus:
Multiply by 3 for every 50 game days. 150 days would be 9x not 27x
Everyday that you survive with a higher gamestage, the game will literally try to kill you with more special and stronger zombies.
If you are surviving many days without dying with a low gamestage, you will see more non zombie bears about. In my theory, this is why dog days happen. People with high gamestages seldom see dog hordes until after day 35.
Final thoughts:
It is important to understand how gamestage works. I may edit this post 100 times to help make it more understandable. It’s a tough topic to cover.
The bottom line is, the more you kill and the longer you stay alive, the more zombies will spawn to try to kill you. In my experience, with some very skilled players, 135 kills a day with a maximum of 3 deaths in 50 - 2 hour days, gives you the highest gamestage. But you need to cover a lot of ground to achieve it. A map with a few towns is good. You can rotate two towns everyday and still have fresh spawns.
The higher the game difficulty, even though the multipliers are higher, you will never get a large spawn rate. It takes too much to kill the zombies, thus creating a lower gamestage, leaving you with a dull and frustrating game. The best way to achieve max spawn is to stay with 150% spawn rate on adventurer and increase the difficulty every 7 days stopping at warrior.
This is awesome 🥰
I like the idea of this series. No messing around grinding for levels or looking for loot. Just getting all the fun toys and playing with them. Idk that’s how I like to play games
Found this channel through Cappo and I'm loving the content already!
Going to have to go back through your older stuff to get my daily fix! 👍
Definitely down for this series! Still looking out for the "one-hit from a zombie kills you" challenge with Capp though :D
I'm appreciating seeing this as an experiment - What is the game like *if* I begin it completely overpowered, but with no items, and facing end-game monsters on day 1. However, I absolutely would not play this way myself. For me, the appeal of the game is starting with nothing, and struggling to survive from a very poor start. It is about compromising between which skills you upgrade, because you can only choose one or other, randomly finding items in loot, and making progression choices based on how things have been going and what items you've found.
The early struggling part of the game is the *best* bit of the game for me. As soon as I am comfortable, with guns, a base, good armour, good clothes, medical supplies, and sufficient food, then the game just gets easier and easier and less appealing from that point onward. As such, I tend to play the early game, at hard settings, get a decent way forward, and then lose interest in that play-through and start again, on a new random map, in a different biome, with harder and harder settings. For me, a hard setting is putting Loot Abundance down to 50%. Another hard setting is playing in the Wasteland biome only. Another hard setting is playing without any trader on the map. Another hard setting is spawning at the edge of the map (not near any cities). I have also played Horde Every Night and Warrior setting too - but if you add in the aforementioned constraints, then the difficulty is magnified.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing how this run works out.
Trader had a Cement Mixer kind of across from the Forge and a couple doors down from the Chemistry Station.
I tore my achilles yesterday and am looking at a 6 month recovery, I'm looking forward to binging your videos, thanks in advance for the entertainment
That ''Oh f*ck'' when he opened the closet door and saw the military zombie XD
"Looks like someone's looking out for us. Hail satan" loved that haha
Just pulled an exhausting all nighter to get finish my college work. Perfect timing again.
Relatively new to the channel so I'm not sure if you've done this before, but I'd love to see some sort of "realism" playthrough
rules:
No "cheaty" bases (forcing zombies through a certain path and hitting them through metal bars with a hammer)
No backpack expanding mods/perks
No vehicles in inventory
Three meals a day (three pieces of food. breakfast, lunch, dinner)
No traders (you're the only one in the apocalypse, traders shouldn't have ak47's and stun baton's)
add / remove as u feel, but would love to see this
love ur content x
Haven't watched a Glock9 video in a little bit, bit I see your editing style and such still remains the same. That is awesome. This series will probably get me hooked again.
This is a mazing series I would love to see this go on for a while did this once per alpha
"Someone's lookin out for me! *turns to alter* HAIL SATAN c:" lmao holy crap
I used to use that cell tower setup back on console.
That fence won’t last 5 minutes against higher end zombies
The command: buff buffme
Gives you all maxed skills without the xp.
The point was that the game stage to go up too
How exactly do you type that after pressing f1
Yes!!!!!! You and Capp00 give me inspiration to finish building my PC so I can get 7 days to die cracking
Refreshing series. Maxed out. Makes it look easy but with the gamelevel like that its still hard
You have a perk that can help you with food. I forget what it's called, but it lets you track animals on the compass when crouching. Should make it a little easier to find animals.
This gave me that same feeling when I first started watching your videos!! LOVE IT!! ❤️
I like this one. It was much more exciting of a start than other series. I thank this will end up being a "Live Fast, Die Young" series, but It could be one that could go for a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th edition with small map and rule changes. Keep this one up Glock...you beautiful Jersey Bastard!
There's another series idea, 3:45. Play how you normally wouldn't. Put perk points into things you normally wouldn't and see how you adapt that style.
I really like the idea. Its like being a special forces soldier in the zombie apocalypse.
You can jump higher now not needed for destroying fence or placing frames :) thats awsome :) as i know you can jump over 3 blocks high fence if i am not wring.
I am digging this new series. Since your maxed out in animal tracker, just crouch and some animals will show on your compass.
nice! This is a cool concept. Like you said maybe you can use some of the weird perks that aren't as common... Nice video!
I like how high paced this series is going to be. Defiantly a refresher from an easier going series like Cabin in the woods.
I like how you keep this game fresh with new series. It's important from a content creator standpoint because always playing the same game get's boring af for both you playing it and us watching it.
Legit fun idea! I feel like the devs gotta get some rag-doll animation on zombies who are both knocked prone and still getting beaten on ha ha Golf those suckers around some!
I love glock9, always making great series and hopefully sustaining life.
Interesting concept. I look forward to seeing how this series pans out. I speculate that initially it will be challenging. Once proper armor and weapons are acquired and there is an accumulation of goods and ammo, it will start to get easier.
Keep this series going, survive hordes by not preparing bases from outside to inside
Oh man, that junk yard was the very first base I ever claimed in 7 Days. Love this series. It'll be interesting to see how your base design differs from my ideas.
You seem like you are having alot more fun playing this way than you usually do! Love this series already!
