SuicideSnowman posted:I feel like neither loot nor zombies are respawning. Earlier today I played shortly after the server came up and there was loot everywhere and zombies everywhere. Last couple hours I haven't found poo poo. I ran around with a stick for about an hour searching everything and couldn't even find even the smallest of items like shirts or caps. Didn't see any zombies in that time either. You're right, haven't seen any zombies either, I just assumed that the hoards of players kept the population down... but I had crates instantly respawn after i smashed them and took the plank. So there is some kind of (bugged) respawn mechanic... at least for crates.

Like I said, earlier today when I played after the servers came up I found so much stuff in crates and in random houses that I left a bunch of it. Knives, axes, shirts, etc. Even breaking crates I'd find cans of food and sometimes cloth. Now I can't find anything at all. Perhaps it's due to more players but still. Seems like nobody I'm running into has anything either.

Reason posted:My point being that if you ignore all the issues with something of course it looks good. Better to be realistic and describe the product as it exists currently because right now thats what people are interested in. I did in my original post that you originally tried to snark on so I'll repeat it, its a solid game in an alpha stage that is experiencing alpha problems. The dev team has proven already they are listening, processing and responding to issues identified by the community so I feel good about the route this game is taking. Especially compared to the response speed and glacial development pace similar early access survival games are experiencing.

I like that post because SOE has routinely proven otherwise. It goes in a cycle and has been repeated many times before.

Why does every early access survival game manage to break loot respawns at least once? That seems like the most important part of the game to make sure is working! I assume it won't be a multi-month issue like with DayZ though. Hopefully.

SOEs poo poo is well documented but PS2 is an example of them at least trying to engage with the community in a positive way with the roadmaps, issue tracker and team engagement outside of regular message boards and they are extending those initiatives here. I'm not saying this will win any GOTY or be ready for retail anytime soon, but the underlying game, interactivity and what it can bring versus other survival/zombie games, I am least hopeful. Maybe its a fool's hope, but Im not instantly cynical like I normally am with games and their makers.

They did the same poo poo with EQ2 and other SOE games. They try to engage. Give false hope. Then do what ever they want. And repeat.

Played a bit today on a slightly less busy server, I was still coming across people all the time, but it was a bit more spread out. There are pretty much three things they need for the game to be really fun: - A non-busted loot system - WAY more zombies - A better map I would expect that those three things will get fixed in time, so unless some major new bullshit thing is added, it'll be fine.

Apparently they're working on a patch for later tonight that'll adjust the loot some and also reduce the rate at which hunger/thirst drains.

always be closing posted:how does the heading stat work in the location description? you type /loc and look up the xyz of where you are. for some reason, in this game y is height. try to make your x and z closer to the x and z of where you want to be. congrats, you are navigating.

Then you get kicked down the stairs, again. If you like the game and know that soe is going to lie to you, not put enough resources into the game, always have a lovely cash shop and a dumb marketing dept, then cool. But it's never going to live up to your hopes or their hype.

Akumos posted:You guys are going to love me for this one. The most annoying thing about this game, by far, is having to manually type /loc constantly to find where you're at to meet up with people. Well, instead of whining about it, I've made a program that will automatically type /loc into chat for you! Well, it's actually just a AHK script I converted to .exe so you don't have to gently caress with it. You run it, and you use your side mouse buttons(you have them in 2015, right?) to active it. Depending on the mouse it could be either of the big ones, but probably the lower one. By activate it, I mean you push the mouse button to get your location, it's not just going to keep spamming it. If you want a customized keybind for it, let me know what key you need and I'll make you one.. maybe. It's not bannable, it's just sending key strokes. I made a 2nd one using the top mouse side button since some asked for it. https://mega.co.nz/#!rBwCjSpY!0NRehQxrjCqgaKGyGFkj63hrvs3kT9vxj1Cy9V7p5bE

So they just applied the new patch, right? Are the loot issues fixed some like they were saying? Also all the top streamers for this are horrible assholes who just thoughtlessly run at everyone and try to kill them, I hate that.

Oh yeah that poo poo is annoying, they do deserve some credit for already addressing those concerns though. It may be the only time they actually do it like that, but it shocked me they flipped and fixed it so quickly. Oh well, I spent my 20 bucks and havent regretted yet. Keep your eyes peeled in here down the line for when I come back weeping as a broken man.

That's good to know, the only things aside from various forms of wood that I have actually found are empty pistols, cloth bits, water bottles, and a hammer. I found those things laying on countertops and such and I have yet to actually loot anything from a container. Have I just been unlucky? Have you all been finding stuff inside containers? I find wood planks and the occasional cloth in the breakable boxes, but there never seems to be anything in cabinets, refrigerators, cars, or anything else.

kimsemus scouted out a for real base somewhere near Pleasant Valley and Blazing Zero and I came to help We eventually creep through the woods and bushes remaining out of sight of the base and meet up with Kimsemus as it begins to rain. We creep up on the base with Kimsemus and I below the base. Blazing Zero is noticed by pure luck by the guy guarding the base and begins firing at him. Kimsemus and I come up behind him, gently caress him up, and we all loot him and all his chests after breaking down his door. He had first aid kits, car parts, all sorts of good poo poo. Then we met up with about 20 other goons in pitch black, found some more shacks, goons swarmed them and destroyed the doors and we stole even more poo poo game owns its bad and it has bad mechanics and it also unironically owns
