  1. I also enjoyed the vanilla servers, however, Hydrocraft mod adds ease and depth for long term goals. Servers with hydro and a map or more added always drew more players, which is of interest typically to all players on a server and likely many admins and hosts. Very fair minded post by Enigma as well. I take nothing back from my own history with various servers but can completely understand that particular statement of perspective. Well worded EG, thank you for that.
  2. I completely disagree that the map is too big for MP. All other responses became too passionate and involved.
  3. I missed NPC's for a long time after they were removed. Since the somewhat surprising leap to multiplayer I am much less concerned. Saying it yet again, the game I originally purchased has grown considerably over the years without one attempt by the developers to weasel another penny from me. Farming, trapping, fishing would almost certainly have been a paid DLC/expansion with another developer. That disregards map expansion, new professions, challenges, sandbox settings, code tweaks a peon like me can't grasp, etc, etc. This whole Project Zomboid thing is pretty damn awesome! Take the positive reviews as personal as you take the negative ones
  4. The jungle floor has become infested with predators, like primates have done for millions of years we should take to the tree tops. Everyone knows predators cannot climb well. No, if predators can not eat us I feel it isn't fair enough. I don't only build floating bases and don't use cheats. You have destroyed me with my own method. Was only defending the position, lack all the passion you have for it.
  5. So much hate for avoiding zombies it seems. First priority for me is making a place zombies can not get, ever increasing the impossibility. I'll remove floor tiles, stairs, or plaster walls, live on an inaccessible rooftop, sky base. I admire the 'hardcore' approach but why not also use no weapons, treat no wounds, eat no non perishables, never boil water, stop resisting? Getting yourself safe is where the story starts, not where it ends. Leaving this security is the risk that eventually gets you. Wanted a generator eh? Had to have gas huh? So you decided to make bread? Thought you would clear the city, ran for smokes, wanted a cupcake, forgot that spade... But I will take ever measure the game allows to extend each characters tale. My characters do not like being supporting actors, they prefer the lead.
  6. I can no longer treat myself with second client launch in MP. Injured character shows my doctor no injury, doctor can still check and treat others, injured character can be checked and treated by others. Intended or bug?
  7. A game is a fantasy escape. Some fantasies are power, control, manipulation. Others are farming and sparing a new survivor an axe. Play friendly on pvp KoS servers. It is what cool kids do. This is the best game
  8. And be sure to watch exhaustion and panic, as said above. Police Officer should carry beta blockers as panic has a strong effect on aim. Any non veteran of mine is always holding like an addict.
  9. I created that poll on the server forum for exactly the reasons you say Suede, and got the results you assumed. Your maverick attitude was enjoyed by me (though I am sure you did not like me in game) but you make it so difficult for the admins or players to appreciate your positive attributes. Temper 8 out of 10 things you think to say out loud before you say them and I for one would be glad to see you come back. You are a loss to active player base yourself. Want to offer server something more than cheeky advice? Relax a few degrees and consider returning. Turning utilities back on is a larger picture idea, but you miss the larger picture regarding your own presence and attitude.
  10. I think they do not do what their name implies but are an ingredient in smoke bomb recipe I believe. I know no other use currently.
  11. I can agree to that, but I definitely think that the new zombie management system has made the game more exciting, especially when hordes come charging to your base. When NPCs are in it will get a lot more entertaining, but for now supply runs to farther, more dangerous areas is pretty fun.We are getting off topic but have you played on pvp servers? Not to bandit even but to have that threat and the other new thrills of player interactions. PM me if you want a server recommendation. I agree single player can feel monotonous but run through bandit town, struggle to keep other friendlies hidden and alive, run a medic to injured players etc MP has taken this game to new levels in my opinion
  12. Did not see in any patch notes recently but wanted to say, power failure on my end no longer blanks MP characters. Happened to me twice on 32.15 and my characters loaded just fine. Thank you! Side note: I like the increasing need for specilization and understand its purpose, however I have long been a skill grinder, imagining my characters becoming true survivors. In MP my primary character is unemployed Having driven his cooking and trapping skills to max or near max level. Now with each IWBUMS patch he has become less useful. Wouldn't his (hard earned) level 9 trapping account for some level of self-education? He can no longer make cage traps due to recipe/profession requirements. He is also a (equally hard earned) level 10 cook who has very little recipe at his disposure. For non profession recipes, would a higher skill requirement make sense to eventually learn by doing? Say a trapper needs level X to make cage trap, non trapper needs X+Y. I understand some things likely should require a recipe/magazine but the skill levels themselves are implied to represent his abilities in a given field. Long side note. Thank you for saving me from power flashes! Edit - have been informed I may have been lucky twice is all, power fails may indeed still blank characters
  13. Must not let this server thread fall down the list. Join us tonight, 10pm EST for knife fights! Make an alt and compete for prizes and meet the community! See you there
  14. Trouble with the just saying 'Bandits are dicks' etc is like saying farmers or chefs are ruining the game for you. I also do not like losing a character but as much as this spoils my 'fun' I am not looking to spoil anyone elses fun, ie banditry. On a pvp server, they are just playing their game how they enjoy playing. My only problem is the thought of a new player buying PZ and first launching it, joining a server and getting killed in seconds, thinking 'this game sucks' when it clearly is an awesome game. As for all the other peripheral complaints going on here, stick to server with rules for not being too harsh in chat. Or, knowing that this is the internet, take the Thick Skin perk and be ready to not care what some trash talker says. Generally playing friendly but always on PvP server, makes my play experience more likely to be different or unique. Do not give up multiplayer, really fun and strange stuff happens when more people are added to the mix.
  15. I know me so much more than you do, you would need my help to make fun of me I think. But there were children and two months into having no power, bad neighborhoods having mandatory curfews, MRE distribution information, which gas stations were less choked with traffic/functional, and any information about when the heck we may get power again becomes very interesting. We were keen for the news
  16. Living in South Florida we occasionally suffer during bigger hurricanes. During one bad season we lost power for over two months, MRE's were being distributed etc. So we ran a generator for fridge and AC, a TV, one or two fans a some lamps. We had to fuel it at least twice a day and make runs to the gas station about every three days, it really does take a lot of gasoline to keep a generator running even most of the day. It would be quite impractical in a fall of man scenario to think a generator is the end of your troubles. Just as in the game, it would only begin a seemingly endless hunt for the last gas cans of mankind.
  17. Just now, no luck. Have you ever tried licking my elbows?
  18. Been on TIS forum since we moved to this new forum and I have only 50 posts. This is my third in this server thread. Also I was Wilson from the screenshot Rich posted above. For about a week or more, IWBUMS allowing, Rich and his fellow admins have been assaulting us with very exciting challenges. Puzzle buildings full of traps and deadly wrong turns, protect the survivor/structure missions with insane zombies waves. Recently pitting us against what became a real time two and a half hour battle for survival. We pleaded server wide for help (we were doomed) and even got a few KOS bandits to help out. I was as shell shocked and wearied as my character. I don't think anyone who participated could say much negative about the experience (other than the perma death nature of PZ, the heartbreak of a good character dead). I only wish I had the software/know how to have made some video. The ingame narratives have been incredible. If you are looking for a server, nothing against any other (played many and never had a truly bad experience), this place is a blast. And please participate in one of these events, for your sake. It is quite challenging and creates an original play through. Just be prepared to die many times in pursuit of victory and glory. Zeek, Rich, Hobbes, Aniketos, Pot of Water, thank you for a great server. All the players, thank you for making these raids and events an awesome experience. All of you at Indie Stone, thank you for working tirelessly to create a game world I can have this much fun and variety in. Now join up and help us win the next event!
  19. Couldn't make Bug Report relevant to IWBUMS 32.4. Last patch seems to have broken Sheets on playermade windows and medic checking other players in MP. Love the new zombie mechanics and masses!
  20. One more big thanks to the Indie Stone team! I have been following and playing this game for years now. Thank you for constantly reinventing the experience of playing, holding yourselves to a high standard and working to make this one of the best games I have ever played, easily the best deal I have gotten on a game. And thank you for not yet selling us a sequel, despite having expanded the game enough to qualify. Full of satisfaction and gratitude. Thank you Indie Stone.
  21. This is an excellent server, recommend it highly. Very active and interested admins, events, and players. Brought a new excitement to my PZ experience. If you don't mind a bit of PVP threat I think you will enjoy your time here.
  22. When I was a kid my parents left me home alone sometimes (obviously). One time in particular, I was so desperate to 'steal a cookie from the cookie jar' that I ate a boulian cube thinking it was 'forbidden' candy. I am a cigarette smoker and a marijuana smoker (without pride). I would say I have a personality that makes me long for the wrong, even if it ends in concentrated chicken flavor cubes. My point being 'gateway' is a silly term, in my estimation, for drugs or tobacco. One who seeks one tends to seek the other is all, without a linear progression (have done several drugs at various times of my life). As far as the idea, Is it ok to do drugs recreationally, I would say only this; Is the best version of yourself a drug addict? Being honest with yourself, the answer is likely 'no'. No logical upside to most drugs/addictions, or measurable benefit to your life. This as a drug addict.
  23. While not associated with The Mountain I play this server often (under another name) and support not banning him or other bandits. I find the chaos of multiplayer to be the most attractive thing about it currently.
  24. I accept the developers making the choices that decide the direction this game takes. Been here for years and have been patching through various iterations of the game, excited by the surprising changes. The Indie Stone team has provided me a great game experience, has not abandoned this project or charged me for a sequel or any patch. May be the best purchase I have ever made from a game developer. Thank you Indie Stone and please continue clarifying your vision for this game. I trust you.
  25. Server getting slow, people saying no zombies around. Still attempting soft resets of a sort?
