I'm scratching my head over some of members of my clan. They keep trying to build a "permanent" bases on hard maps occupied by zergs. They spend a huge amount of time farming items to put in this loot pinata that inevitably is broken open when the zerg finds a gap in its supposedly impenetrable defense.

They don't want to keep a base off-map because it would be "inconvenient". The latest iteration is a clay base in a location that's supposedly inaccessible by ballistas that turned out to be accessible by ballistas.

Luckily I've got at least one friend who enjoys cruising around zones with me PvPing, otherwise I'd go completely crazy.

This fight was hands down the most fun I've ever had in a survival game.

That's a fantastic video. How do you get your framerate to be that rock solid? High end PC?

People are going to say yes, but honestly I wouldn't want to play this solo. Even being with one or two others is much better. If you are solo, everyone you meet will try to gently caress with you.

Private servers are coming soon, and the upcoming updates are looking to address ways to make it more desirable for larger clans to protect solo/small group players, but its unclear how they plan to achieve this

I just had a fight with a guy called Nightmare who is so notorious that people actually know about him two tiles away. He's solo, and camps a popular local trade centre and basically ambushes traders going in and out.

Run into him twice now. The first time another guy ran interference for me. The second time the only way we could beat him at all was bringing four people to the fight.

He has/had very high end equipment.

So going on the above; yes you can solo and be very successful, and there's a high skill cap, but you will occasionally get zerged by people who call their friends because they suck.

And as someone above said, it's a multiplayer game designed for at least a few people working together. The guy was running back and forth between his ballista and steering column while chasing us.

Also, you don't need to go in with a crew. You can go solo and just try to befriend some people, maybe join their clan. Honestly the solo playstyle is fun, but the game is a lot more fun when you have the option of yelling in voice to make a clown car full of angry men kick raiders off your boat.

Some dude came out of the trees and wrecked me a few days ago. If someone doesn't have a walker it's really hard to be prepared and once they get on your boat it's :rip:

I can't fight worth a poo poo, so I like to go full speed as far as I can into the desert when I get a walkerless boarder like that, especially if there are 2-3 of them and only one made it on. Have fun hoofing it all the way back to your buddies before a crew on a stiletto spots you, jackass. Hope you have enough water on you.

Solo will be a niche playstyle no matter how you do it. You can't do the clan battles that the game is about, you'll be using a fraction of the gear, and you'll get poo poo on if you aren't either a PvP god like that one guy or a selective opportunist.

There's an EVE style economy and market, and you might be able to do the whole trading thing. Maybe. Groups are so self-sufficient at the moment that there isn't much incentive to buy stuff.

I pretend this is Star Wars Galaxies 2 and play it like a hobo sim. I don't touch PvE because I can't be assed to make gear from durability loss, and I barely PvP. Just a sand hobo zipping around on an ATV, spamming chat, waiting for a chance to rob a walker.

Did you hide in the rocks to kill them too? Is there literally any game you don't exploit in? How are your speed hacks doing? Here I was thinking it was random Chinese harassing us 4k water away, and it's you guys exploiting by hiding dinghies in rocks.

It's ironic that you quit every game as soon as you can't cheat to win.

So did you want to ally or not? I find it hard to understand how you say that to people in voice and chat for an hour about it. But at the same time have your dudes come down and grief? So please help me understand?

To address the beatsticks, anyone can kill people who are offline when the server crashes, the difference is most people don't hide in the rocks when things get hard.

you can lie all you want, your boys were NOT offline when we were outnumbered and outgeared, and got 6+ kills without losing a single man, that's a fact you can't deny.

Rhyme isn't wrong about globby, and globby's insistence on posting proof ain't probably gonna happen given most of the game stuff occurs outside SA and posting discord logs on SA usually gets you a week probation minimum

Even if globby did beat a goon group in a fight I'm not super surprised the guy with a decade history of hacking games got one over on the goons just trying to have a fun videogame

If you lag you can use a long and fast weapon, works great. We play with an Australian on EU and while the lag makes fights hard, he can still defend himself just fine because the long range turns the entire area around him into a death zone

Preferably you minimize your latency though. Australia is a garbage country anyway
