Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

[ReformedJoe]

He didn't. But from my testing, I reckon that you need to have at least 21 armor points to survive. 1 health point is enough, but having anything less than 21 armor points will lead to your death even if you have 200 health points.

Not only is this shit weird, but I am quite angry that nothing has been done about this.

There has been a fix in place to stop this for several versions now, so I don't know what you're talking about. I've gone through with 1 health and 0 armor and been fine.

What are the exact steps you're taking, and do you have any other mods installed?

Edit: I think I know what's happening. Are you playing on apocalypse?

So, I've been unable to find the new secret at The Wall but while I've been searching all over the map I discovered that this fence has no collision. At first I thought it might be a part of the secret but after searching for a very long time I no longer think it is and wanted to report it if it isn't. Also, I'd love a hint for finding this secret because it is really eluding me. I assume that since the end of the tutorial is back that it could be there? But I don't have the faintest idea how to get there if it is and I feel like I've searched the whole map pretty thoroughly for any rogue buttons or posters or anything lol

I think I know what might have happened with the missing secret in map03. But it shouldn't be happening. Will do a test later to confirm.

The transition at the end of map17 was tested previously with a fix and worked perfectly, but did not anticipate Apocalypse mode throwing the numbers out of whack. Going to have to fake the effect with some smoke and mirrors to ensure this doesn't happen again, which I didn't want to have to do but it looks like it is unavoidable.

[AmissaAnima]

Got something to ask ye Yos but it's Unrelated to this discussion altogether.

How do you decide which NPC's to add especially the unique ones? Do people making the voices for the unique looking characters request the way they look or what? Or is it all you and or someone else you work with?

[Vostyok]

That's actually an interesting question. Most of the characters came from either TDG's design docs for specific places, or I just came up with a character and fleshed him/her/it out as the situation felt natural. The exception is the voiced characters, who I tend to give to the voice actors to decide on after a basic description of their role.

Hey V, I was thinking of something the other day.
You see, while Im enjoying the current selection of weapons in Ashes I think it would be nice to get a little refreshment if the Scav looses everything again in EP.3
To be more specific: I was thinking about replacing some of the guns with different ones wich would do the same job more or less. Heres a few examples; swap out the M16 with an AKM or a G3, the Mac-10 with an UZI or a Tec-9, the Glock with a Beretta-93R (wich you'd have to repair to 'unlock' the 3 shot burst mode) or maybe add the Desert Eagle but make the ammo scarce cuz 50.AE just FUCKS or even add something like a nailgun for shits and giggles

But I'll be Very happy when EP.3 drops regardless if this idea wich Im just randomly throwing out here gets implemented or not. 1 thing Im hoping for nevertheless is that EP.3 will be even bigger than EP.2 cuz quite frankly said, I. NEED. MORE. OF. THIS!

Cheers

[Vostyok]

Not to spoil anything, but considering that inventory items cannot be transferred between wads, and it would be pretty dull saving up junk to upgrade the same weapons all over again, assume that I am shaking up the arsenal a little.

But please, no more suggestions! Unless you want me to force an inventory screen onto you, I have to stick to the weapon limit. And I have a pretty good idea of the tools that may or may not be found as we go further to the North.

[Hermann_Wolf1]

OK V, you're the boss

Yes.

I wonder what freaky ass mutants we are going to find in the death zone, some more haunt like enemies would be cool, or like some absolutely horrifically mutated creatures would be sick, I presume the death zone is where ep 3 is going to take place, if so, what and where exactly is the death zone, I presume its even further than Atlanta , and even more north than prosperity or sigma

Well we do kind of know where we're going next already right? It's hinted at at the end and I know Vostyok himself said it so I presume it wouldn't be much a spoiler if I do as well; we're going to New Nashville. So I assume the "Death Zone" is either a location there or the name of the area around it like how there's the Badlands but Prosperity is within that.

Patrolling the Wasteland almost makes you wish for a Nuclear winter.

We won't go down quietly the Mutants can count on that.

I was kinda hoping we would see this mf in EP.2 somewhere
