I'm sure they'll add an option to get the other stuff for $20 if you already bought the base version.

My cpu/gpu fans are going bonkers when I'm playing and every time I press e the game hitches. It's an open world zombie survival game alright. So here's what I've managed to work out so far: - You can make a bow with a wooden stick you can pick up off most plants and a scrap of cloth you can make by tearing up your shirt. Keep any extra scraps for later bows because they can wear out over time. - Arrows can be made two at a time from one stick. Make as many as you can. Zombies will go down in a single headshot but the bow has about as much range as you can spit so aim high unless they're right in your face. - Blackberries are fairly common and can help stave off hunger/thirst until you can find something more substantial. - As far as I can tell you can't drink directly from water sources, which are all ankle-deep for some reason. - There are voice comms but typing in the chat window doesn't seem to work.

I wonder if they made it this crappy on purpose because people who like these games find it charming. Although to be fair it's better than the DayZ knock-off the Big Rigs guy made.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:I have no intentions of ever playing a lovely zombie/monster survival game. But I have every intention of following this thread as well as the Day Z thread. Please make sure to share as much of this bullshit as you can. That's why I'm here. Thank you. See, that's the fun kind of broken I like to see in video games. Anyway, finally got to play for a substantial amount of time. Shooting zombies (and people) in the head with arrows is probably the most satisfying gameplay mechanic I've experienced in this game, DayZ or WarZ. Two dudes with pistols attacked me at that cabin lodge near the big lake and I managed to kill one and wound the other before I died. I just logged out inside what appears to be a nuclear waste storage facility and thankfully radiation isn't in the game yet. Tomorrow I plan on spreading the gospel of bows to every non-hostile I encounter. Hopefully the patch supposedly going up in about half an hour will fix that annoying stutter when you press the interact button.

Oh lordy. So I went to check out a crate drop and got shot at so I ran. They chased me and kept shooting so I turned around and killed them with my bow. Turns out they were goons who didn't hear me asking in Mumble if any other goons were in the area. Sorry, guys. I got all your stuff except for the backpacks at least.  I'm totally keeping this hat, though.

LuciferMorningstar posted:I know it goes against the spirit of being a goon, but a little bit of comms discipline would go a long way when we've got a bunch of goons in one channel. Splitting off into subchannels because people can't stop talking over one another isn't a good solution if it just means we're going to kill each other in the wilds. At the very least, hit the VOIP button to ID yourself if someone is screaming at you. Didn't that last server reset break in-game VOIP?

LuciferMorningstar posted:Raiders came back when only two of us were active at base. They ended up busting down a few doors before we got things under control, mainly thanks to the timely arrival of Maniak and Akumos. They're definitely waiting for us all to leave before they come to try and break in. That's pretty much inevitable I think. Just like in PS2 there's no shortage of poopsockers/people in different time zones to undo all of your hard work while you sleep. How high can you build? I'm hoping you can construct a nice, tall tower surrounded by barbed wire, pungee sticks and land mines with a line of multiple doors serving as an entrance.

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?

Knightmare posted:Tickets seem like a (chance * time since last ticket) calculation, they can show up in any container you check, even ones you've checked 3 seconds prior. I don't think they can be farmed any faster but one could probably come up with a bot that checks the same container every 5 seconds. That explains why I found one in a gooncamp chest.

Man that day when we had the first Goonfort operational before the dupe was found as rad was hell. I hope they fix that crap soon and wipe the servers so we can go back to that. I wanna build more rad forts and scavenge for parts while murdering every unlucky soul that crosses our path.

Kimsemus posted:Just allow us to make primitive pipe shotguns and stuff like Rust. The item descriptions indicate they plan on having craftable guns and melee weapons besides makeshift hatchets/spears, so they'll come eventually. I hope the server wipe means they figured out how to fix the duping. I really want us all to build a sweet fort again. If they make it so you can't use things like furnaces as steps over fences it'll be fun to have something properly defensible they can't just pick apart with infinite fire axes.

Eonwe posted:so im taking it the duping/glitching into walls thing is a "we're never fixing this, but dont do it or we'll ban you" type of thing I'm sure they'll figure out the end process exploit eventually and I wonder if they can just make your character immobile when logging in before geometry loads to keep people from bypassing it. Would also let you actually log into your base instead of under it, too.

quote:Tomorrow as part of our normal game update, we will be doing a complete server wipe. What does that mean for you? Think of it as a factory reset. We are going to be wiping the world clean of any player built structures, vehicle placement, everything. We are also going to be doing a full character wipe as well. Your characters will not exist on any servers, so you will have to create new ones. Get hype for some sort of catastrophe!

I've been lone wolfing it since there hasn't been much point in any organized effort when everyone just dupes or repawns with their stuff if you kill them. Very much looking forward to getting the team back together after the wipe. Hopefully it happens early in the day.
