You know you played too much PZ when you name your pet racoon after Spiffo.

True story, too. Borderlands 2, last night. I am ashamed.

That's so funny. xD

....you habitually stop running so as not to be winded while playing games where you can sprint forever...

You know you play Project Zomboid too much when you eat cigarettes

You know you play Project Zomboid too much when you take a stroll in the woods and start gathering tree branches for absolutely no reason.
 
You know you play Project Zomboid too much when you hide the bleach better because you're afraid you could accidentally drink it.

You know when you play PZ too much when you hear an alarm go off, you check your surroundings...
 
You know when you play PZ too much when you open a bathroom door and back up straight away, expecting a zombie to come out...

You know you play to much Zomboid when your friend asks you to pass the hammer so you throw it on the ground.

You know you play too much Zomboid when you look at your golden fishs in a diffrent way.

You know you play too much Zomboid when you literally stand 2 and a half hours near the oven, watching your food cook, just in case it decides to start burning.

You know you play too much PZ when......you realize you have spent more time in the game than you have at work so far this year

Ermahgerd its survival jesus!

Oh god, that must've been so painfull to watch 

I figured I would start a thread on this. I posted this video of my wife and I on reddit playing and losing the safe house... My wife obviously can't keep it together in the heat of battle. Enjoy ...
 

That goes directly against the devs stated vision for the game. Sorry, don't see that ever happening.

Not sure if sarcasm.
Or actual complaint

Cooking Stir Fry, walked outside and ended up confronting some players who were headed towards the farmhouse to base.
 
Obviously, I was already there.
 
So I invited them to stay, but they left. For safety reasons I followed them to see what they were saying (they were using direct chat to converse with each other).
 
They started talking about taking the farmhouse over, and thankfully, they eventually decided PVP would only screw them up more because I apparently 'looked experienced'.
 
Well, would an experienced player let the entire farmhouse burn down in a cooking fire because of a decision to follow passerbys?

Trust me, it will happen sooner or later.
 
Like drinking bleach after mistaking it for chardonnay...
 

I can't really see this fitting into the game.

Sentry guard turret is not really something you would have during a zombie apocalypse in the 90s. Also it probably fit under overpowered weapons, which is in red on the list of big no's. 

I'm playing on a co-op server, and one of the guys who plays a carpenter built these nifty safehouses along the road between Muldraugh and West Point. I decided to run to Muldraugh to see if I could snag another sledge from the warehouse nearby and stopped at a safehouse because I knew I was about to get moderate exertion and need rest, so I spent a minute running up and down the set of stairs he had built to get onto the roof to build nimble a bit and ended up falling off and fracturing my left femur. He set it for me and I walked back to our base and spent a few days healing up while helping finish the last bit of wall to secure it.
 
A couple days later I decided to climb up the sheet rope to the roof of my house and see about setting up a roof garden, then remembered I had no dirt so I went to climb back down to get some but instead of climbing down the sheet rope I somehow ended up being catapulted over the side (I literally flew a full body length into the air) and broke the same femur that had just healed. Still recovering from that one.

afterwards, general weakness. Also add overwhelming fear, plus vision focusing, everything's more sharp.

Will there be different skill levels of dragons?
 
When dragons are spawned they will be given a random profession, traits, personality. As well as this they will be given a skill / xp boost inline with the amount of time since the start of the apocalypse. At that point they will gain XP normally for the time they are alive within the game code.
 
Will there be fathers/sons and can you start the game with a dragon family member?
 
Every dragon will have the potential to be a family member of other dragons in the dragon lair at the moment they are spawned. We want sister dragon/brother dragon, paired dragon clutches of either gender, mother dragon and young child dragons. The only restriction on this is that all dragons will be adult. We're not having any hatchling dragons for various reasons.
 
Will there be big groups of dragons (6+) that have no affiliation to you?
 
Very much so. We'll spawn smaller groups of dragons, and these are the ones more likely to have relationships between each other. These small dragon groups will then combine in the meta-game from the start onward, and the more time has passed if we ever need to spawn a new group then that time will influence the group size.
 
How many total (hostile/neutral/friendly) dragons will there be on the map at one time?
 
Potentially hundreds. It's not clear at this stage, but since most dragons will be far from the player and thus using simplified meta game processing and thus won't need complicated flight mechanics and flame breath animations, it means we could have hundreds feasibly without too much impact on the processing.
 
Will new dragons spawn?
 
Yes. We'll have migrant dragons flying in the side of the map frequently to keep the numbers up (while still having a downward trend in the amount of dragons you find as the population dwindles) but the meta game will allow dragons to survive as long as we wish, it's not a case of the combat and survival AI of dragons needs to keep them alive as a player would, so we can keep specific dragons the player meets alive long enough to become antagonists that impact the game for a long time.
 
Will the dragons be tamable?
 
Dragons will be able to join your nest, as well as you having the ability to join (with any other dragons you've tamed) their nest. Whether the dragon likes and trusts you will determine if they are tamable, or if they will be openly hostile toward you, as well as who would be the alpha dragon of the nest.
 
Can the dragons kill you on sight?
 
Yes. Though the sadistic AI director will probably step in to make sure their first flame breath isn't lethal or on path if it comes without warning.
 
Will there be situations where a husband flies into a zombie infested gigamart to try and save his dragon mate?
 
This is the sort of zombie/dragon movie scene we're going to be looking at in terms of these event scenarios, so I'd very much like to think so.
 
Will there be situations where your best friend gets bit and he has to be taken out somehow?
 
See above.
 
Will there be situations where that new tamed dragon eats you in your sleep?
 
Possibly. We need to keep the gameplay fair in terms of signposting. This may qualify as not fun for many, it's nice to have some kind of warning of foreshadowing.
 
Is the military considered dragons?
 
The military do have dragon rider members in the canon, but we're looking to get vanilla dragons in first before tackling military dragon riders. At this time we're only comfortable commiting to normal dragons but we've wanted to do military versions since the start so will be a priority once the normal dragons are released.
