Waib

hahaha neeerroooo!!!!
 
damn ghost fires burning our base down...

it was pretty fun today, and waiting for this to turn back on lol, still perplexed as to how the fire started haha we'll get them waib don't worry

when you consider that it already takes over 20 actual minutes to get from muldraugh - west point (sprinting all the way) and how much bigger the map is supposed to become, yes i think vehicles are a necessity. I sincerely doubt a sport bike is a more viable option considering it has no storage space and is much more dangerous to operate than a car.

lol just wait until NPC's are back, a bandit is gonna come and burn all your hard work to the ground xD

Oh lord, no more sword discussions... I still doubt the average Joe could effectively wield a long blade.
 
Well, I certainly don't want to see too many new firearms, if any. I'd like to see a crossbow, because I love the things, but I'm not sure how effective they'd be in real life.

Added a soft reset command for servers, so you can wipe the world except construction, reset everything else. Should allow for fully persistent construction for all time.

Having played quite a bit on Eliakoh's server on the initial MP public test release, and since on a private persistent server as well thought I'd drop in a few idea's and a bit of feedback.
 
Server resets on public servers at this stage are definitely required primarily in my opinion due to the zombie count, over any loot access. With enough people on the server (a handful will do) it's quite easy to police up plenty of shotgun ammo to easily take on a large number of zombies, usually dying in the process. This results in a depletion of not only the ammo which IMO is no bad thing (having had several incidents where our safe-house was attacked without warning people being a bit more cautious with ammo would be nice). But the large numbers of zombies leave exploration pretty bland and unexciting. 
 
To combat this at this early stage of development it would be perhaps be nice to have some more admin tools along the line of a games master/director to spawn in swarms, this could also tie in nicely with proposed player run story-lines and events. Such as directing all players to defend a safe-house that's been setup over a few days by the players.
 
Spawning is an obvious issue as everyone starts in the same spot with nothing on hand with the surrounding area picked clean, obviously as versions progress it will become more random so much less likely to spawn in the death-zone mess and clutter of abandoned items and dead bodies. Perhaps a simple co-ordinate based start point adjustable by the server in config files would be a good temporary, and later as an optional method of servers altering spawn points to distribute players more evenly across the map. Later on this would be useful for private servers allowing players to set say a safe house location as the spawn point so dying players could easily resume play with friends without the penalty of traversing from Muldragh to the farm off to the west etc.
 
Supplies are obviously an issue with players picking clean areas of importance especially in the starter town very quickly, these are often wasted or lost in abandoned safe houses and dead bodies indistinguishable from zombie bodies. A small feature/effect that could be interesting is players to spill their inventories on death, simulating them dropping equipment or items falling from pockets, with most players using backpacks it shouldn't cause too much clutter. Other options would be nice to include with the helicopter fly over sounds could be air drop packages, dropping fresh food and medical supplies randomly into the game world that attract both players and zombies alike with the noise, this would be an easy way of supplying fresh food such as meat without requiring the implementation of hunting and instead just spawning boxes in predefined or random areas. These could also be used by server admins to drop them on request to create more 'events' for their players.
 
Obviously many features are things that would come into play later with NPC events, but I would propose incorporating a few earlier that could be admin or randomly occurring that would allow public servers to maintain player interest for longer. Preventing the need for resetting the game world due to the current build limitations of zombie migration and infection growth/spread.
 
We might not quite be at the stage where you could run a public server permanently, but it would be a very interesting test scenario to see how things did play out with the current build so I'd love to see it attempted outside of a private environment. Or at least trying it for a week and seeing how long it takes for the farming bug exploits to overrun the streets back to mother nature

i think thats a good idea but you should need a high carpentry level

TWO screwdrivers?

More like "Why not flee the planet". Apocalypse after all

I'll chime in on this and say it sounds like a fine idea, both for NPCs and other players. A few have stated that life is meaningless, they'd rather kill themselves off and respawn as a new char, but here's the thing... if you were captured after surviving for three months, building up your skills like a pro, I have a feeling it'd be more difficult than you imagine to just cut your losses and throw the char away. Especially when there's a good chance you'll be released in the near future. 
 
As long as the devs made it so sitting in a cell is more fun than just "sitting in a cell"... I think that'd be the main factor to consider. If exercising is implemented, you could use the time to level up your abs. Or create a racket and attract zombies like someone mentioned, give your captors some trouble for holding you. Maybe strike up convo with your guard, try to turn him/her ally. If it's made to be a more involved part of gameplay as opposed to just idling until escape/release, and you've decently leveled up your character by that point, I highly doubt most players would rage quit over perhaps a few hours of being kept out of the rain and away from the biters.

Btw, this is coming from another who prefers to RP over 'gaming the game'. When multiplayer is implemented, I hope there will be specific servers devoted to RPers and others devoted to shoot 'em and loot 'ems. It'd be the most frustrating thing ever to work up a good story with my character only to get pwned by some jerk only interested in racking up points.

Or you could pour alcohol all over your infection
I don't think that anything stops the disease though, so this would only be practical for things like cutting yourself when going through a window, (which has never happened to me), or carving wood or some crap.

I'm sorry my boredom come to this.
 

It would be probably best to make sleeping time shorter, like you'd need only 1-3 hour of sleep to get rid of the tired mood or something like that.

The more you repeat this, the more I want the ability to create a server that'll force kick someone for the in-game period of time they're supposed to be sleeping.

THE HORROR!!!
 
lol nice vid, at the end when u got eaten one of the zombies went nuts xD looked like it was slapping you to death

I joined the community not long before getting the game a week ago, and it's downright bizarre seeing the difference between this community and most other video game ones. I'm mostly a console gamer, so I'm used to seeing forums of man-children and actual children, and it seems so weird to see a group of people on the internet acting pleasant. I have to say that how pleasant the community seemed was a big factor in my purchase!

I think the devs schould fix:
 
- You sould be able to sleep on a toilet seat, not only drink from it. After all it is a seat.
 
- There should be skill multiplier books for blunt at least in the higher levels after all there are tons of books about karate and other deadly sports and where to hit, how to get people to the ground etc
 
- There is a crash (freeze of the game), when you destroy the stone stairs in the sunstar hotel (the left set of stairs on the right one (near the sun bathing seat thingy))
 
- The writings: Left foot bandaged etc should vanisch from the health screen after some time. as nobody would have these bandages forever as the would would heal underneath and then you would remove the bandages.
 
- Brugular alarms are still going of when the power is out for ages! This should not happen as the majority of such alarms is connected to the power grind and not on battery.
 
just my 2 cents

Why do you only need one bag of chips a day?!

But interracial marriage wasn't legalized in america till the 60's if i recall. Weed being delegalized was only a year ago, and many states still use states rights to keep away medical dispensaries of certain states, actually we still have raids on legal weed farms that are on the boarders of states. I guess it comes down to your own definition of taboo. I see something as taboo if it sparks a divide in ideas, maybe your definition is if its illegal then its taboo.

what troubles me is Americans are blindly accepting the "delegalization" of weed, but they don't ask the hard questions of why it existed in the first place, and why it hasn't been put into the national government.
 

maybe you're too young to be effected by the "War on Drugs" centuries of governmental oppression that was used to puppet the desires of private prison billionaires. But for half of my life, I've seen such a destructive totalitarian system of government  be swept away, like it never happen. We imprisoned millions (and still are) under the precondition of the crime. How is years of calling something deadly and then suddenly say its no worse then alcohol NOT be taboo. 

well i gave it a shot
 
it appears to work, but dont take my word for it. 1 cabbage became diseased and it didnt spread to the others so maybe this method is ok.
