... There's a backstory beyond the Lab terminals?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   There is a "story" to the setting which is taken from the evidence. For instance the radioactive craters probably means nukes. Basically by observing whats going on in the world you can get a feel for what happened. Though I guess there could be other actual ingame story text.

Leave a house filled out with mindless zombie hitting walls for a few days or anything, a house without maintenance and being hit with acid rain good lord guys... think a bit... would make wall god down bits by bits or even a zombie brute forced his way out there is a LOT LOT of reason why some house would be damaged, use your imagination.

[Graknorke]

Zombies don't and can't break through walls though. Only hulks can, and zombies barely move so that's hardly a thing that would happen.

[Angle]

Most of the damage probably happened during the initial outbreak. Remember, the zombie virus doesn't actually do anything until you're dead, so all those people had to die first somehow. I figure this happened mostly due to everybody turning on each other once people became aware of the zombie problem.

[Knirisk]

I would say leave a chance of finding rubble in, but reduce its chance severely. 10% is far too much. Maybe like a 1% chance of an indoor tile having rubble on it and another 1% chance that a wall will be destroyed with rubble scattering out on top of and to both sides of the destruction. It'd certainly give character to the houses. After all, several cataclysmic events did suddenly just happen. It would be strange if ALL walls escaped the carnage. To add to that, maybe windows could rarely be found broken or the like. Zombies can break windows, and it'd be silly if any surviving humans DIDN'T try to break windows or even open them if zombies were in pursuit.

[Girlinhat]

One problem in the earlier attempt was that no windows existed anymore, and sheets of glass became the rarest item in the game.  Technically they did exist, but the 'spawns broken' rate was so high that you never found a window.

[Angle]

That actually makes sense, I think. Intact windows probably would be hard to come by. You can find sheets of glass in hardware stores and public works dept.'s, right? So you'd be able to find some. and of course, the cabins and farmhouses would have suffered a lot less damage.

Only problem is they became the single rarest items in the game.  I found more mininukes than I'd found sheets of glass.

And the whole backstory Whales put up?

Link please? I never have seen such a thing.

"This piece of clothing has pockets for your hands."
Does this do anything?

[GlyphGryph]

Should count as warmth for your hands in the cold, I think, if you aren't holding anything?

Anyway, what I'd like to see is some rare cars spawn halfway through walls and the walls rubble-ized and the car very broken.

Also, the first days of the cataclysm were a lot less tame, what with the otherworldly beasts still up and about messing stuff up. So some heavier building damage would make sense. But it should be rare-ish.

In that case, martial arts counts as 'holding something' because that's what I play and I never benefit from the clothing.  This should most definitely be considered a bug.

I remember seeing this way back in the day, when whales was still working on cataclysm. That was quite some time ago, though, so I have no idea where to find it now.

Do you have a quick draw talent(memo: quick draw talent to reduce time spend wielding weapon(question: does wielding a weapon even take time?)) so that you can draw your fists quickly? I assume have your karate style wielded means you got your hands readied to attack anything that comes your way.
