Probably only for EA, they'll likely have a station client for full launch.

We should really just have a combined survival games thread under the title "Survival Games: Convening the Hague since 2013" or something.

You could just merge it with the old early access thread because almost every single survival game seems to be early access. The only one I think that ever made it out was Nether, and apparently that sucks.

So, so bad.

Compass is water + salt + scrap metal I think? Now that I have one I don't get lost nearly as much.

Purified water + metal shard. I'd assume you need more than one shard, but I'm not sure.

As for finding things, you always spawn by a road or in sight of a major landmark. I'm not saying "lol loc is for pussies" but we'll have an easier time if people learn landmarks relative to each other quickly.

You know, as much luck as we ever have with goon survival coordination.

Hows does this game run on a medium to low end laptop GPU (720m) and an i5/8 GB RAM?

I've got one of these funky pseudo software SLI setups from NVIDIA that use the onboard and dedicated card to work together and it lets me play games above specs I shouldn't be able to play. As such, it's always pretty hard to judge a games minimum specs and if I could run it without it being 10 FPS. It plays games like skyrim on high, AC:Black Flag on high as an example. 1366 res but hey ho it's a semi cheap latop.

Provided Optimus doesn't gently caress you, you'll be more than fine.

Why the gently caress is "autism" being redefined as "talking about any topic in-depth/analyzing an issue"? I get that it's funny to say sometimes but it feels like you seriously have to pretend every thread is some GBS shitposting thread now or you're autistic.

While I agree that Games is going to poo poo in a handbasket, you're clearly taking this too seriously.

Anyone that does not immediately attempt to end your life is too weak to live.

That said, one dude spent around ten minutes chasing after me this morning, trying to take sneaky bowshots through windows and stuff while I looted houses. He was awful.

Man, this game has a long way to go to be anything other than Rambo Arena 2015, but the zombies in it are great. As a rule, I and I'd imagine most people, don't give a flying gently caress about zombies at this point. 2/3rds of a decade of zombie game after zombie game has left most people inured to their bullshit. Oh that one has a knife, or is slightly faster, or wooo, headshot. But what zombies lack in threat or originality they make up for by being mother natures tracking system. No-one is threatened by zombies in this genre after just a couple hours in their first game of the type, so no-one thinks that they could be used to track them. Bunch of zombies humping a door? The hunt is on boys. And these zombies do it better than pretty much anything yet, because they cheat like hell. If someone enters a building and you see zombies streaming in the one open door, just wait a second by the closed one and you've got a free lunch.

I don't even understand the point of this game. It's a zombie game with zero threat from zombies and the quests are just finding paper and running to some POI for loot.

However, it is fun to watch streamers just gently caress with people for a few minutes.

It's a PvP game that happens to have zombies, rather than a zombie survival game. Unfortunately it being filled with hackers/bugs/exploits means it's not either thing right now.
