The shanigans never stop  from random landmines placed by hackers to 69 shades of goons being recorded, produced and released on YouTube to the goon raids of the unlucky 11 goons in 3 vehicles and the unintentionally mishaps of running poor goons over who exited the vehicle when bullets started flying.

 Home sweet home.  I saw something amazing today: You can build tamped earth foundations on lake beds. Forget making an island, we should fill in an entire lake.

i love this game and i love exploiting it but i'm going to relax playing it so much until the hacks and dupes get patched out. well worth the 20 bucks even with the exploits. if you bought into dayz or warz, just go ahead and flush another 20 down the toilet. it's good fun.

Is this game anything other than a gigantic, flaming trainwreck? Does buying it for any reason other than as a donation to Sony and  make any sense?

The game has a lot of potential that is all currently ruined by duping/relogging with full gear/logging to jump into walls etc. Once the game fixes most of this poo poo, hackers will be the only problem, I hope they can sort it out. This game will be a lot more interesting when it's actually beneficial to have a base that dupers/exploiters can't raid, right now there is no loving point.

At this point, I don't care about the duping, what I care about is the noclip/teleport hacks, and the respawn-glitch. Fix the dupe, you fix the respawn-glitch. And vice-versa. The hacks, well, I haven't yet found any trace of an anti-cheat running, so I am in the group that believes there is no detection and prevention method other than player-submitted videos. Which is the worst kind of detection method.

They're joinable still when a new BR game starts on that server but there's no way to refresh the server list right now. People are closing and reopening the game to get in supposedly. Does BR not use tickets right now? I've been finding about one per hour right now. Including in containers I've already checked (stealing someone's goodies out of a shack).

Can you not just keep them in your global inventory with your skins and such?  Just killed a guy and got some 1911 ammo (I had 11 rounds that I spent shooting at him, the last of which killed him), a shotgun, a combat knife, shotgun shells, a bunch of MRE's, a combat knife, a bunch of meat, a first aid kit and a bunch of bandages, a motorcycle helmet, his shirt, and a military backpack. In my heart, I hope I just took an airdrop's worth of supplies from him plus a little more.  I think other players are the least of my worries while I'm mucking around in this warehouse.

A lot of it seems to end up on the ground where it decays out due to PvP or whatever. It is just a ridiculous flow of resources to basically nowhere as it all gets hoarded or destroyed. When you find a cleverly hidden stash it's crammed with an insane amount of poo poo, more than 10 people could carry.

If it's anything like dew collectors, they will say they "fixed" it 2-3 times before they actually fix. When they do actually fix it the patch notes should have something like "no we really mean it this time." That's usually the SOE giveaway that they actually fixed it (before eventually breaking it again down the line).

Next time I find one I'm going to take a screenshot of a ridiculous loot stash. I think the dug stashes don't have an item cap like the storage containers because when I find one it often has >100 item entries with stacks like 50 bottles, 100s of ammo rounds, 10 lighters, 20 compasses and so on. People are goddamned squirrels.

Lou Takki posted:Is there any decent way to spot the dug stashes? I've never seen one. Most of the time they are near a crafting area. A sure sign that there is a stash nearby is a grill and forge but no container to go with them. The crafting materials are somewhere nearby. We discovered that some people also use rabbit traps for storage because many players ignore them and like grills and stashes they have no storage limit. What I have observed/learned: *Looks like a mound of dirt. *Can only be placed on natural ground like grass/dirt. *Can only be placed on very flat surfaces. *Can be placed "under" a bush, so look for a dirt mound clipping partially into a bush. Even knowing all that they are not super easy to spot. A stash in the middle of the woods with no obvious crafting area within 30m is probably nearly impossible to notice.

I killed a zombie in Cranberry and got myself an AR-15, a shotgun and 2 shells plus a helmet, backpack and assorted food. No water bottles for some reason but I was loving loaded. I decided to fight three guys with it, one went down to the shotgun and the other two I managed to kill with bow headshots (I loving love the quickdraw trick) and then a fourth pubbie came out and shot me with a rifle. At this point I just play the game to spawn, make a bow and go fight people. Never get attached to your loot, it's no fun being a loot bag if you just avoid every fight ever.

bow quickdraw is my fav part of this game so far I love having my bow out, but not nocked, then I quickly tell whatever person I see that I'm friendly I strike up a conversation, ask a question and put my mouse cursor over their head normally they stop moving, try to answer and as soon as that happens I quick draw and shoot them in the head

What exactly is the quickdraw trick? When I used a bow (day after release, so the first PLAYABLE day) they took a decent amount of time to draw as well as the arrows traveling extremely slow.

The drawing animation is all show, it's ready to shoot the moment you hit rightclick. So you hit rightclick then immediately leftclick to launch it. Drawing a new arrow does take time however.

Dvsilverwing posted:...You can put tickets in a container? Can you not just keep them in your global inventory with your skins and such? No, I had found someone's storage in a shed in the middle of nowhere, so I looted it a couple times while dropping stuff on the floor and like the third time I opened it there was an event ticket inside that wasn't there before. That makes me think they're on a "rare drop" kind of system where there's a 1% chance to spawn a ticket every time you open a container. Can probably be tested by opening the same container over and over for two hours but no one would ever do that.

Not as a group, just over the course of 30 minutes that many people tried to arrow me. Also, finally found scrap metal on a zombie. It also had a 1911, cool.
