Doc Gonzo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It was a heck of a lot of fun two years ago! That was the last one right? Looking forward to this year's festivities ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan_Drichthyes Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Since I started playing almost a year ago, I missed this event. What can you tell me about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty cool. Basically it was dark out the entire time ... which was kinda fun. There were also 'treats' you could find throughout the world. One was a pie that kept you warm (until the event was over) and that counted as a whole meal if you ate it. There were (if memory serves) pumpkin type containers that came with granola bars and such spread throughout the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Gonzo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 @Khan_Drichthyes It was in the saved-sandbox/survival games. One of the cooler aspects (to me at least) was that the pies remained in the world after the event was over, though their heating effect was no longer active. IIRC if you took one of the pies to a building and left it there it remained after the event was over. I can't speak to pies that were left where they were discovered but I suspect they remained too. Someone with better memory than I will have to answer this; didn't the wolves have some weird effect too? Eyes glowing or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolan Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The first year was a blast but because it happened out in general Sandbox a lot of people were unhappy. Not me, I enjoyed it - it was a hoot! Pumpkin Pie (a survivor from that night) was one of my favorites. A bit reckless though. Last year, they made it a special thing you opted into - like the test branch. It was still fun, but not having it as part of the regular game took something out of it for me. Though it did allow people to carry on normally, so that was a plus? It was 4 "nights" of murderous wolves, mysterious jack o'laterns (that radiate life saving heat), warming pumpkin pie that can ward off the murderous wolves (maybe), 2000 calorie candy bars and extra books to read by the fire.

morgellons Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Now that the game is in full release, should we have more confidence our current saves won't be corrupted if we play 4DON than we did pre-release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixxut Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I remember hating the last 4 days of darkness (It was in 2016, right?) But it was mainly because I had just bought the game and I was a total noob and obviusly got absolutely rekt. I think my first sandbox ever was created during that event and I died after wandering in the dark and wondering that why isn't the day coming... Maybe now I can enjoy it a lot more now as a better player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajb1978 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Awesome! Definitely looking forward to this, as I missed out last year. (Lost track of time. One minute 4DON is coming out next week!

It looks like it will be even more amazing. Looks like we may have Auroras during 4DoN, which we have not had before. So- Demon+Aurora Wolves?

The first year we did 4DON (2016?) we ran it in the existing Sandbox so it conflicted with people's ongoing saves, unless they created a new game during 4DON. That said, they got to keep all the loot afterwards too. The second year we did 4DON (2017), we ran it in a separate branch, to saves were not compatible, i.e. there was no chance for save corruption. This year 4DON is a completely separate game mode, and saves are not compatible between 4DON and normal Survival, or Story, etc. So zero chance for corruption again. I.e. corruption hasn't been an issue in over 2 years, if it was ever an issue. We are very careful not to break people's saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I've always missed them so far due to being busy that weekend. But I'm definitely going to try it this time round (even if I am supposed to be moving house next week). Looks fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember having one in my pack but it doing nothing. Can't remember if I even got around to eating one at all. I think I was trying to save them up for the warming effect and real life stuff happened and I didn't come back to the game till after the event finished.

Jolan Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm hoping if everything goes swimmingly this year maybe next year they'll let us carry our chocolate buzzed survivors over somehow to the next event (wait.... was that evil cackling? And did I just hear someone mutter "fat chance you'll survive the night buttercup! Mwuuuhhha ha ha!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't do much with them either.. my TLD skills back then were kinda minimal at best, so I largely avoided playing during the first event.
