Okay so in typical GZ fashion they've gotten it mixed up again... in the patch notes the say rivals drop refined metals and tyrants drop phos & ethanol but its the other way around... rivals drop phos & ethanol and tyrants drop the refined metals so keep this in mind! i knew it didn't make any sense having it that way in the patch notes because it made the tyrants pointless in game other than for 2 exp weapons lol oh well now we all know
Kilroy, Kilroy, Kilroy. Where have you been. It’s been a while. It’s me, Poaman. Sorry for ghosting you man just got a new phone and it wouldn’t let me login and just some confusing other stuff. Glad to see you still doing GZ though lol. So happy to see you cover this new update….please tell me how to get to the new island.
gotta say having everything just increased on the materials will make everyone have a easier time grinding them regardless if said person complained or not, me...i don't care im just here to scrap machines into metal fireworks.
Gen Z is legit AF for any game. The Devs had open live streams that actually listened to their players. Once these few glitches get fixed it will be even better. Thanks for the vids, they have helped a lot. 🤘
I wasn't bothered by the hard focus of base defense but I am happy they balanced it out some. For new games grinding that much isn't fun. There should be options. Also I do agree with some things you said. Except the listening to the beta testers mainly. I am a software engineer and started as a tester. I have friends who were devs for EA and Disney and the SDLC (software development life cycle) is pretty standard for most software dev teams. That being said A tester's primary job is to make sure nothing is overly broken. They aren't given extended periods of time to test every little thing (regression testing). That is due to the deadlines, budgets, other projects and work. They also don't find all the problems that there may be, or give all the ideas on improving a game. Beta's are usually a small group. Well it is depending on the size of the company and the game. Given the company is winding down on this game it is good they listen to the majority of their players. That is what helps keep a game healthy and people wanting to come back to it. I get the frustration of people complaining but not everyone is gonna be happy. However if it is a larger majority of the community who is the customer. Saying this is an issue. It is good business to listen to them. You want your product to reach as many people as you can. It being regarded highly by most of your base is a way to help it spread to others. I do get the complaining it does suck. However despite that. I will say the dev team for Gen Z shows they really care about the community and listen. The interaction directly with their base has been awesome over the years. Better then most gaming companies. It is because they have listened this whole time that the game has been as great as it has. Compared to what it was in 2019. It is 10,000 times better and that is partly because they interacted with the community. In any case I enjoy your content and hope you feel better
Hell yeah I'm just happy we're getting more materials. Now it actually feels worth the grind. I never had a problem with the grind, I just thought it was bullshit on the amount you got back for materials. I get your opinion on the "lazy gamers" but for those of us who have a busy life outside of gaming, this makes it somewhat easier and less time consuming and I appreciate the devs for doing this.
Dude, I work two jobs. I dont have the time nor desire to be bent over by soviet machines to get a measly 70 phosphorus. Especially when a wall cost 5. At least now Ill know that as im dealing with the firebirds bullshit Itll be more worth it.
I get that bro but that’s on you… they shouldn’t make the game stupidly easy just for a handful of people that don’t have time to play the game, it’s now miles to easy and has no challenge to it… no offence or anything just not how things should work
Even before the update grinding for materials was Low-key fun with my Friend, now because of the yapping it's gonna be somewhat redundant unless I wanna mass craft exp ammo/ build base
Good to know that the hotfix is out now, and that have addressed at least some of the concerns people had (rightfully or not). I'll try it out again soon.
I hate the new grind for phosphorus. I've never been able to get more than 2 phosphorus. The machines destroy the extractors in 6 hits! I like the resource gathering. I don't like the 6 hr grind to get 10 phosphorus for building a damned wall!
@@KilroyPlays I hope so. I really enjoy base defense. My main frustration is that my 500 hr save file has just up and disappeared. At least on that save game the grind wouldn't have been so frustrating.
Once they iron out the last of the bugs, its sounds like its in a good place to ride into the sunset. The better change for me is the fix to experimental weapon drops on Rivals. I only dabbled in base defenses pre-hotfix and it didn't seem too bad but I welcome the changes.
Glad you like the changes to the experimental weapon drops! must admit i had a lot of issues getting them to drop with the bug but the first rival i killed after the updated dropped one straight away thankfully
Gotta wait till it releases on console so I can benefit from the buffed drops. Atleast I can benefit from it on my steam deck though. The good thing is though that any consumable requiring the refined materials still only requires 1 of the refined material
@@KilroyPlays oh u mean near that manor place i know where that is back then i use to go to that manor just get rpg from the hunters there they use drop so much of them before❤
@@KilroyPlays yah i will do that i also got that SMG yesterday after 1month trying i got it from the vulture but i didnt get no resource from it tho aslong i got that SMG now i am happy i use that smg on the Runners but i will see where build an block it off so i can grind that resources out but i do wish they had more places like that i do wanna put the stuff in the base sense base cant be destroyed by our turrets no more so i can just throw up alot of them so i can get the resources again
sadly no, once you've done the intro to base assaults your good to go they just keep spawning in as you lvl up the region, maybe submit a ticket on the discord?
@KilroyPlays will do. I have looked at the truck as well as the drills, their only options being: Drill: [F] repair, [R] dismantle, [esc] close menu. Truck: abandon, [esc] close menu. the number of drills doesnt affect the options
why are you agressing me only because i play on console😭😭 is all i have, and is very difficult to aim on the analogics :( (hope u can understand... my english is very bad and im dont want to use the tranlsator so i can learn a bit)
@ well.. i recently started to play the game and my bigger problem(my aim) you cant solve, so a thing that i dont understand very well is the weakpoints of the machines. and i think is a good suggestion for a more noob friendly video lol. that will help me A LOT
heck yeah i could do machine breakdown videos where we go over the weakspots, components & armour and then also talk about the movements as well cause after a while you know what weapon they will use just by there stance and what not
I still don't need the new rss i might never need them i am not a home designer but all my bases can handle a medium without using the new rss. I got the exp ak last night I think I have them all now

Mr. Poaman! How you doing? I have a video out on how to start the new missions if you want to check that out 🔥🫡
@@KilroyPlays will do!!

even with a life outside gaming it was still easily achievable but people didn't want to put in the effort for it

110% theres gonna be no grind for it now which is a bit sad but makes my life as a content creator much easier so its a bit of a mixed bag for me

Wait they more worried about material grinding then my companion disappearing to another realm
haha apparently so
I liked the new base defence missions much more than the old ones, the changes in resources are very welcomed. Very pleased with the hotfix.
glad to hear your happy with the fix :)

Phosphorus was the easiest to grind for though?? And now it’s even easier to

hey Kilory how do you get the chemical lab and the furnace do you need to capture a specific point to unlock it or something
else
They are specific to certain control pints. The furnace can be found at overly control point and smultronstallet control point, and Chem lab at floda
just hover over control points and it will tell you which building you can build at said control point :)
@ ok
Gotta wait till it releases on console so I can benefit from the buffed drops. Atleast I can benefit from it on my steam deck though. The good thing is though that any consumable requiring the refined materials still only requires 1 of the refined material
yeah so all the crafting requirements stay the same they just buffed the drops :)
bout time they fix cause i never repaired my base now i can use them again
which base u talkin about an church :o i didnt know that i might have to use that like omg.
its below the church in the far left hand side of the south coast region in a broken down castle cant think of the name off the top of my head
@@KilroyPlays oh u mean near that manor place i know where that is back then i use to go to that manor just get rpg from the hunters there they use drop so much of them before❤
yes that one, its like a caravan site with a broken castle
@@KilroyPlays yah i will do that i also got that SMG yesterday after 1month trying i got it from the vulture but i didnt get no resource from it tho aslong i got that SMG now i am happy i use that smg on the Runners but i will see where build an block it off so i can grind that resources out but i do wish they had more places like that i do wanna put the stuff in the base sense base cant be destroyed by our turrets no more so i can just throw up alot of them so i can get the resources again
I'm currently still unable to even start a base assault at threat level 22 for the region my base is in. am I not at high enough of a threat level?
there must be a bug because they should be spawning in long before region threat lvl 22
@KilroyPlays odd. is it locked behind any missions? I've completed building blocks
sadly no, once you've done the intro to base assaults your good to go they just keep spawning in as you lvl up the region, maybe submit a ticket on the discord?
@KilroyPlays will do. I have looked at the truck as well as the drills, their only options being: Drill: [F] repair, [R] dismantle, [esc] close menu. Truck: abandon, [esc] close menu. the number of drills doesnt affect the options
How about a video exploring the best control points to setup furances labs and drills on? Location and layouts. Might make a nice piece of content
yeah with the doubled drop rates of phos that would be pretty easy to do now :)
Hows the serenity? Love the serenity.
3:00 i agree, was really hoping refined alloy should be drop from tyrants, cus i have no reason to spawn them
yeah if you have the muesser and the exp sledgie the bosses are now pointless
I buyed it when it was shown on steam... To this day i can say that this game is awesome and all dlc are also cool 😎
Couldn't agree more!
Great post. Thanks for the info. Really enjoying Gen Z. A much underrated game
It really is!
So glad this came to pc game pass. Enjoying the hell out of it. Imagine numbers will skyrocket. Too good to pass up.
sadly it'll bring back all the lazy idiots in the community who bitched and moaned to get there own way
4:20 Bro when you are ill why you cant Cut the video‘s … Bro come one i like you Content but come on
???? Cause I didn’t cut 5 seconds of video while I found what I was looking for on my scripts?
Anyone else get 2 ethanol from an easy defense?
your probably on the lowest difficulty the drops differed depending on world lvl
nothing about ammo that u can´t get ap ammo or only buck shot
yeah nothing about that being fixed
nice! , ty for this video good sir
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more videos!
it's still not enough 😵 and you still have 2 get rivals for the more complex resources ??? !
You want them to just hand you everything?
why are you agressing me only because i play on console😭😭 is all i have, and is very difficult to aim on the analogics :( (hope u can understand... my english is very bad and im dont want to use the tranlsator so i can learn a bit)
oh dont take that seriously bro im just teasing its all jokes i have nothing against consoles :)
@@KilroyPlays ok bro, thanks, and continue making gz videos pls... ur the better gz content creator ny faaaar.
will do! if you have any video suggestions you'd like to see just let me know :)
@ well.. i recently started to play the game and my bigger problem(my aim) you cant solve, so a thing that i dont understand very well is the weakpoints of the machines. and i think is a good suggestion for a more noob friendly video lol. that will help me A LOT
