Shhh. My Common Sense is Tingling



I spent a while last night trying to find goonbase. I finally got a ride over after finding some goons in the town. As I was checking out the base, I fell through the floor and died. Spent even longer running back to the base. I got back just in time for the early AM raids and decided to log out nearby rather than add to chaos.

Yeah, if you end task the game quick enough the server doesnt pick it up and your loot drops and then you spawn back in with all your stuff where you were. It started as a way to dupe stuff but got turned into a combat log. Supposedly they are fixing some of the duping with that patch today, wondering if it will include fixing this.

Thanks, lets hope they fix that so. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of ground hog day.

Is there a way to have your /loc information visible at all times? Maybe I'm just new but navigating and trying to coordinate with 2 or more people is pain in the rear end in these games.

Also giving up defending for today, I should of just made an alt and took all the important poo poo out of my crates because I'm a dumb gently caress and guarded the base for 8 hours.

So, after that mess they started glitching inside, the patch of houses on the dirt are super vulnerable because they will relog inside the dirt and jump up into the rooms. My poo poo doesn't load slow so I can't do it.

Also turns out that using shotguns in all 3 slots is hacks and I'll be reported for hacking

Edit: Looking at my HP in the video, that's all kinds of :black101: holy poo poo
If it was reddit guys then the group after was a bunch of people trying to exploit into our town, unless shhhhno1cares is one of them, who's only good at duping excessive amounts of guns and ammo for us by exploiting.

I love how after about three kills everyone else just starts to run. That's awesome.

We might want to do a more secretive Goonbase now that we know where the spawn locations are. Also a little less "gigantic sprawling slum" because defending that is kind of hard.

Or a better defensible location. There were some apartment buildings in town, we'd only need a few walls to section it off.

Apartment buildings are a bad idea for a goonbase. Too contested area.

The idea of starting from scratch somewhere isolated and sending out patrols of PVPD has been hilariously amazing so far, we should keep it up. Once a HQ gets too hot, we can pack up and move around while bringing justice to all those picking blackberries without a proper permit.

I've found that short of playing with goons, the best way to play is to not to try to establish anything. Get a bow, get some blackberries, pick a direction, and go hunting pubbies. If you find any weapons, awesome. But don't get too attached to them because you WILL lose them.

Some weird stuff going on, though. Are aimbots and such a thing already for h1z1?

If you are attached to stuff you found, do that thing where you can dig a cache and hide it really well

don't ever get attached to anything sitting around in goondor or whatever city we eventually make because there will be multiple times a week when we aren't on and some jobless gently caress is going to come by with an axe and steal all our valuable poo poo

Shred your shirt, pick up wood sticks, craft makeshift bow and arrows. You are now equipped to kill 98% of people you may run across.

If you see a cop car driving by, throw your hands up and act respectfully.

Learn to love the makeshift bow and arrows. Once you understand the bullet/arrow drop, it is 100% accurate and can kill any player or zombie in one headshot. Best of all you can make one as a fresh spawn and ammo is basically unlimited.

For those wondering, this: “Drop”, “Unload” and “Place” inventory options have been removed from proximity items. Means dupe bug is fixed.

I guess we will find out.

That one I imagine is much harder to fix because it would require a lot more server-side inventory management. But if anyone knows how to patch out item duping it's gonna be an MMO dev.

Do all the other online survival games have similar duping exploits?

When you repair an item there is a tiny chance you will turn it into a stack of 64 of that item, even if it's not stackable!
