I was just coming here to post about that. I do think it's too easy now that we know what we're doing. I'm not sure how flexible the game is. The in-game server options didn't look all that extensive but maybe there's more you can do with ini files or mods.
My perfect world:
- Less XP
- Less loot
- Daytime zombies more frequent and more of a threat (faster, meaner, more numerous)
- Zombies more sensitive to noise in general. Shooting a gun in a fresh area should create problems.
- Mini-purges every night. Major purge every 7th night.
- Night time zombies cannot be outrun on foot.
I bet there's no setting for a "mini purge" though. I wonder what it would be like to set the purge down to 4 zombies per person but it happens every single night (maybe minus the blood moon effect, if possible), and increase zombie run speed. Basically when night comes, if you're out looting or whatever, you'd better find a strong structure to stand in and blow up all the ways the zombies can reach you because even 4 zombies nonstop is going to be a problem when they keep coming.
With a setting like that we might have to rely a lot more on melee and medicine because you just won't have the ammo to win every night by blasting shotguns in faces. In our current setup, the medicine cabinet is stuffed because we so rarely need to use it. Maybe 8 is actually bad because it's either "you're winning handily or you're dead".
I made my own server to dick around on one time when everyone logged early and the early game is brutal solo. I wouldn't mind starting over at some point but definitely needs to be 3+ of us on for that because it sucks going back to stone tools and no perks!
I wonder if there's a setting where if you die, everything on you is gone.
That alone might really spice things up. We're getting lazy because we never lose anything. We got boxes full of shit we have no use for because you're never going to lose your tier 6 fully modded M-60.
