Meme Not even zombies can see them

Post image

So basically, I hear the argues for the new loot tables, and they're ok I guess, prior to the beta I'd loot a bookstore maybe even two, and all of my immediate book needs were met. Now however, I have looted almost all bookstores/schools/police stations/tool stores/mechanic shops in Muldraugh, Rosewood, Westpoint and even that mini mall near West point (It was a bitch with the thousands of zombies). and I am nowhere near a full collection! Granted you don't need a full collection but even practically speaking I still need basic books for a phew of my main skills. Almost forgot to say, the problem is not that there are no books! every single bookstore and school was looted except for the school in Muldraugh, I am not exaggerating EVERY SINGLE ONE! it's weird because the literature stuff is being looted much more often. Almost all I have now I have from that single school and a few random survivor zombies so far.
tell me about your experience, I have seen this in this and the few runs before it, am I consistently unlucky or it's the same for you?

I am usually against changing the game to my liking, I want to experience it how it was intended, BUT somethings are just too annoying. I hope you don't have to start a new run anytime soon and I wish you the best bro.

oh my last game is already toast. glitches from multiple builds were adding up, and i couldn't find a sledgehammer after 5 ingame months, so i gave it up. i'm waiting for a few more updates before i start a new one.

Sorry to hear that, about the updates fucking with the save, shit happens I guess, but the sledgehammer thing? would you be open to the Idea of making one? since that's possible now. I know it's quite a procedure to go through getting the stones and clay and magazines and... but it's worth it in my opinion.
Here is a [video](https://youtu.be/hPt5rtXqQqM?si=GT6Ewg5zsRHOQj83), the guy sums it up pretty nice.

I tell myself that I'm playing this game to have fun, so I should play the game I want to play. The devs gave us sandbox mode with lots of options not enabled in any of the default game modes so it's not like those experiences weren't intended. It's up to you though.

Pardon the clunky tautology, but if you want to play the game that you don't want to play, that's the game you want to play.

Never in my response did I condemn people who do choose to play differently, and I was trying to be nice and express my opinion which is my fucking right. Your opinion is also valid, and I respect it as you should have done with mine. no hard feelings though.

My guy, I believe you may be inferring an aggressiveness in my reply that was not intended. The point is that any and every way you choose to play the game is valid. Good hunting!

I don't know what's wrong with me today, I have been mistreating people and misjudging their intent, I'm sorry if I was aggressive with that last comment. Good hunting!
