The Bonz

Thanks zeek. Like i said, its understandable and i have no hard feelings. I hope anyone reading my comment doesn't get the wrong idea. Its by far, miles ahead the best public server i played on. has a nice balance of good guys, bandits, neutral survivors and even people that role play(so the crazy yoga lady made me do yoga, dont judge me!). Most hours of the day it has over 10 people,20-30 people is not rare either and considering the amount of players the server runs like a champ. And the events are awesome as well. As someone that finds zomboid easy, that invasion of WP resulted in some of the best moments iv had in this game ever(with nearly 300 hours clocked). And then there's the small ones that the GMs will have. like a fishing contest where you jump on the GMs "boat" aka walk on water. Then we walk i mean drive to the middle of the ocean and fish for a ingame day with prize for the biggest fish. And my kick/ban was the GMs trying to keep the game clean. While my ban happened so quick, its understandable. So dont be put off by my setback, you too can run into a pair of friendly guys, Then have a crazy guy try and beat one of em down with a bassball bat,then you run away and into a group of 4 players with guns that chase you thinking your someone else then when they realise your not who there looking for they ask if you need anything, then the crazy guy with the bat comes out screeming and everyone starts shooting and all the zombies comes and you run away with your new bassball bat into a bar and see 2 near naked girls doing yoga and insist you join them. and this is not even the craziest thing that's happened. It just happened yesterday lol Sorry for the long post but yeah, 10/10 server, would yoga again

That can't be right at all. Trying to level foraging with Park Ranger, Hiker, Former Scout, and Fast Learner and honestly the grind is too much, even for a character that heavily specializes in it. Edit: The farming part is definitely exaggerated. After harvesting 5 cabbages I only hit level 8. Still.......Farming is super easy to level compared to everything else. I realized what might be the cause of this, I'm in a multiplayer server. It's quite possible, and probably likely that the server settings are giving increased xp. No you are right. While playing on a MP server i got to level 10 aiming with 24 zombie kills. I believe this is done by using a pistol and shooting into a big horde of zombies. Without doing to much testing it seems like it scales like sneeking is(used to be?) that the more zombies are in sight the more experience you gain. In my surprise i announced my finding on chat and i guess understandably, given how crazy it sounds(level 10 aiming in 2-5 minutes) i got kicked for hacking.. I quickly made a single player game and tried and while i didn't get the same drastic results i got very close, and is enough of a indication that that exp gained is not right. well..not in line with the shotgun. on the same server i had got level 10 aiming several times but it took many boxs of shells and more then 1000 zombie kills From my quick check in single player this is what i got with 5 boxs of bullets and a slightly large horde to shoot at(the one i was shooting in MP was alot bigger) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410189845 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=410290136

Can you mod sawn off shotguns? i know you can turn a modded shotgun into a sawn off but i dont know if the effects carry over. I can remember trying to mod a sawnoff and not getting any option to do so. Out of sawn off(not modded before or after becoming a sawnoff) a normal shot gun, a Shotgun with full choke and Shotgun with improved choke. I found the shotgun with full choke to be the best against zeds. Small or big packs it seemed to kill more per shot. (Full choke= decreased cone size, increased damage---Improved choke=Increased cone size,reduced damage) But if i somehow missed it and you can mod a sawn off..then sawn off full choke would be pretty crazy

So while playing today i discovered a quick way level aiming. In my surprise i said how quick i levelled aiming in chat and got called a hacker by the GMs at the time and got told to save myself i had to tell. I did and then got kicked and apparently banned. I can now join the server again. I can assure you i dont hack and have been playing on the server for about a month. Its a great server and i enjoy it so if you see me in game please dont ban me.Its understandable how suss it sounds but regardless I have started a discussion on my findings here. http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/13458-just-got-banned-for-levelling-to-quickis-it-unbalanced/
