Hello All Survivors!

If you’ve been playing the game for as long as I have and as intently as I have (my fiancé is starting to worry about me, and also accuse me of cheating) then you may have gotten quite far with levelling. I am not at level 71 and still climbing. I’m quite interested to see if there is a level cap, i’m assuming it will be 99, but who knows! Exciting times are ahead!

But I just wanted to talk about what to expect when you get to around 60-65ish within the game. When you get to this stage you’ll start to realise and notice that there is not a lot more that you can unlock in the crafting menu. There is actually a point, when you unlock the Saw Blade Mace, that there is no point in gaining levels in the game. Literally everything after the Saw Blade Mace (and a few before) cannot currently be created in the game as we don’t have access to the materials needed. As soon as the map is updated by the Devs, I am hoping that they expand the area and include some new zones with resources to match. Obviously this will be major update so it may not come for some time, but i’m excited none the less! Yay, more mundane farming to be done! Woohoo!

So what does that mean for you as a player when you reach level 65? Well that all depends on how you feel about the above and what you want to get from the game. Personally I actually enjoy going out into the zones, collecting as many resources as I can and trying to survive. Maybe I am just an incredibly boring or easily pleased person? My Fiancé would probably have a comment or two on that as well. But what I like about the game is that there is still always a risk; An AI player could be generated with a pistol and lay into you without you being able to react in time. A Spitter could come along whilst your not paying attention and take you out, or a group or Fast Biters could do the same. The player one usually throws me off as I tend to clear the Zone of Zombies before fully investing in farming, so then a naked man sprinting out of the bushes and shooting my kneecaps out takes me by surprise. As I think it would most people.

The other thing that I like doing is after collecting all my resources is to build up my base as much as I can. Trying to get all the floors and walls as strong as I can and then building the spike traps around the outside too. And I know that this is going to sound sad, but I like trying to make sure that I have a whole box that’s full up with the same resource. So like a whole box of Carrots, a whole box of Limestone etc etc.

There is a lot of potential in relation to this game and I am excited for the future expansions that will be implemented to help with the balance of levelling. Because at the moment, some people might not want to play it past level 65.

Thanks for reading once again everyone. Good luck with getting to 69(er) hehe
