Honestly, the best things goons can do is: 1. Make fun of people who bought this game 2. Wait until it is free to play 3. Make fun of people who lost their carebear packages to goons 4. Shitpost some more

So I was running with two pubbies and chalked up 3 kills of people who think they're going to take on 3 lumberjacks with their little sticks and bows, finally we come across some ammo for a gun one of the guys had, and shortly after came across some guy and his friend who obviously called in an airdrop. Thinking he was some godlike player, he started telling us to drop our poo poo before shooting at the ground near us, so the guy in our little group with the gun shot and killed him pretty much immediately, and then his friend sprinted away. So we got an extra 1911, some ammo for it, an empty AR15, and a combat knife out of it. Then we all slowly starved to death as every berry bush in the server was glitched and not allowing us to pick them, and as we all know blackberries are the only current source of sustenance in game.

Also that was the second group of pubbies I met, the first was at some gas station, there were 3 of us at first, then there were like 10 and most of them went off to forage for berries, I went into a house to check the cabinets real quick and by the time I left the house they were gone and I never saw them again.

Eonwe posted:i dont get why someone would think this thread was arguing that people should buy it True. Everyone should wait until it launches and is F2P so we don't have to pay $20 to Alpha/Beta their game for them. Once it is free, I am all for going after those planes and some guy just spent 5 bucks for a bunch of guns I just took. It will be hilarious. Anyone mad at SOE being full of poo poo and not seeing it coming, or not knowing this entire company is comprised from the island of misfit developers (And quite literally a laughing stock in the industry) has no one to blame but themselves. I find it amusing seeing posts saying, "I cannot believe SOE lied" when they have been doing nothing but, since even before when they were 989. Hell at this point even my Dog runs away if she sees the SOE logo on my computer screen. Anyway, see you when it's P2W for Free! This may create a whole new genre. Steal to Win!

If you need a goon topic or post to tell you why it's probably a bad idea to pay for an early-access zombie MMO with some p2w features that is going f2p after alpha/beta, you're an idiot and should stay away from the internet. Everybody that has spent 20 bucks (at least in this topic) is fully aware of what the game is and what's it not so I don't really understand what point you're trying to make here, Knifegrab. But thanks for chipping in.  Wee Tinkle Wand posted:Every time you kill someone for their airdrop: you just took $5 from them. I am prepared to overlook pretty much anything thanks to this.

yeah I know having a gun out prevents you from picking up berries, you probably can pick them up while holding an axe though as far as the bow drill goes, it takes 15 seconds of prep time to use and is reusable (it might have durability - I haven't checked just used it twice so far) if you can start a fire inside that is preferable, but the logs are heavy and if you don't have a backpack you probably can't move them so just be aware that zombies from a loving mile away will be heading your way You can purify water, make coffee, cook meat, make bio fuel, all sorts of good stuff with just the fire eonwe fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Jan 16, 2015 |

Also you can reuse your empty water bottles at a lake or even in the rain I thought the rain thing was a nice touch By getting water from one of these sources you'll lose 10 hp upon consumption. If you find a well you'll get stagnant water which only hurts you by 2 HP. Either of these can be crafted into purified water at a campfire

I shot a dude in the back of the head with my lovely zero effort bow and killed him instantly. While he was waiting for his supply drop to land. He screamed at me over prox chat for what felt like a full minute while I waited for his crate to land so I could loot it. Then I died to some dude with a hunting rifle.

If all you got is the poo poo bow, some arrows and a handful of berries and you hear the sound of a plane going by there is really no reason not to head after it and try to spot the falling crate. You have nothing to lose because your resources can be re-gathered in under a minute if you die.

Knifegrab posted:When you call in an airdrop, where does it fall? Right over where you are? An extremely loud plane that can be heard from anywhere on the map spawns on the edge of the map and flies across the entire map until it's roughly over you and drops the crate within a few dozen meters of your position. The crate then spends a couple minutes falling at an agonizingly slow rate while emitting green smoke and flashing with red lights. When it finally hits the ground anyone can open it and take what is inside, there is no protection.

I don't see why people are mad either, it's no worse than the airdrops in vanilla Rust, except people have to pay for them this time. Like it's the same random level of chance you might get anything anyway, the only people who should be mad are the people dumb enough to fork over money to fly a plane in to give goons loot.

The airdrops work the same way they did in Rust, with a similar sized map, with almost identical broadcast mechanics. Airdrops would come in, a blood bath would ensue, and the inevitable group of 2-3 people that walked into the airdrop area already heavily armed almost always got the drop. It'll be no different in this game, so I don't see why people are upset. You may call in an airdrop with your but it's just going to end in tears for you. There is almost a 0% chance of you getting the loot you paid for which is how it should be, rather you're just paying to seed the server with items. Just look at the math.
