    No Mondoid today? Hoping the bugs are nearly worked out of this version. saying last week that it would likely be out sometime this week got me excited We are all packing bags for the planned map wipe with new version. I know I occasionally gripe about stuff, but I appreciate all the work yall do.

    I know they said this build is coming out this week. One question since it is not in the logs here. Do Composters still work as an indestructible barrier? Yes yes I know it is not realistic. On Single player, would not do it. but there is a high incidence of logging off for the day on a server, only to log back on and find all your walls smashed in, all your ropes gone, etc, because some griefer had been shooting around your house, and you logged off safe inside walls and log on swarmed. The relative strength of walls in this game is low. very low. metal walls are weaker than Wooden walls. Log walls are tough, and reinforcing them with 3x stacked crates on a double log wall is good in theory, but 100 zombies can knock through that in seconds(proven, tested). Zeds ripping down ropes even when you are not around has lead to living on 2nd floors being much more difficult if a horde lure happens when you are not home. You literally need to stop and build stairs to get back in, drop ropes again, and destroy stairs before they follow you in.

    The problem is this can't be done. Since it is a public server, randoms part timers join, kill a bit, then quit. People kicked off other servers join, kill a bit and quit go to another server. Rince wash repeat. unless we whitelist, we can't. and we are not whitelisting. too much work. BTW, we also post here for server related matters http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TheGoodOldDayz/discussions/3/

    Just curious as to why you can remap virtually every other command except this one? For most people it is probably fine. Myself I remaped the movement keys to the numpad side directional keys, so the R button is in an awkward place and I WOULD like to remap it to my gaming mouse

    I enjoyed PVP briefly since I found a few people like Pata, who will not just go apeshit shooting people for no reason. But overall, kids will be kids and will many consider it like a shooter, where the point of the game is to kill others instead of immersing themselves into the world of trade, building and making a server out of it. I enjoyed brief notoriety because of my motion sensor bombs used in revenge The PVP server lost a lot of people because the PVE server opened and became the regular 50 player hangout, so its clear the majority of people who jumped ship want PVE and to be able to level without worrying someone if going to just kill them for no reason. If there was some balance and rhyme or reason to PVP, I would play it. But mostly its new kids who picked up the game and want to kill other players, they stay a day or two and never come back. If the game had stat penalties ala Old Ultima Online instead of starting from scratch after every death, it would certainly change the landscape and I would consider PVP again.

    The most valuable thing to me has been the prevalence of pipes from sinks. I am kinda the server bombman and it used to be painful to have to dump every garage in WP and check every hour to get a measly 1-2 pipes. But ill confess, I stopped leveling at level 8.5. Once I realized I could not hang sheet ropes from small wire fences. Overall I liked the look some metal gives. Metal floors look like concrete and It was a new flooring for Fort Spruce. And we built a little gun cage/Jail. But I can't see myself building an all metal fort, or even half metal. i just like the wood look better.

    So can the beams in construction yards

    Nightsticks are designed to be Less-Lethal. They hurt like a mofo and can give a concussion, but they have nothing on a bat or even a 2x4 plank

    Very nice man!

    Any updates to this? I am trying to figure out what I can disassemble. I know sinks give pipes and tubes(Thank god. I can make bombs more!) Counters give sheets. What gives poles? I want to make a fence but find very few poles. Also, I found 2 Metalworking magazines in garages in WP, but I want the other two. most common spawn location? Even at level 6, I seem to get a lot of useless metal

    and it can be annoying to be admin. People just air grievances constantly instead of thanking you for doing the best you can on a server. Entitled generation.

    I think you interpreted that as Hard reset. Soft resets are usually a different ball of wax. We have them twice weekly on the server I frequent. A certain amount of commercial buildings reset(Downtown buildings, gas stations, Hardware store, Giga mart, the mall type places), and hedges and stuff like that also reset outside the church. We have a ton of builders like Mori/Mescalin who take hedges for the purposes of basebuilding. But unlike real life, hedges are pretty rare. Word is, the next build is so different from 34 and with new spots overlaying that we will need a hard reset. Not sure if characters wipe too or not. But our map is completely built on

    Does this server reset regularly? I mean in terms of soft resets and hedges, etc. Does anyone have a breakdown of where factions hang out? I had only a few experiences on this server. Some good, some bad. The admin offered to look into the bad for me, but I had at the time just moved on. But I appreciated the offer. My problem on this server was when I logged on to play, nobody was around often. Or at least not in towns I spawned in and nobody talked to me in global chat when I asked, despite 7 people being on. If I start again with the new build this week, I would prefer not to get murdered right away for intruding on turf....But I also hate safe zones. I tend to build out in the woods. What sort of "Events" take place? I keep hearing reference to events, but not seeing what they are

    I know that both new locations are around Muld, but can you tell me if anything(Even small) was updated on the Westpoint + Valley Station sides of the map? Adding locations to only the muld surrounding area will severely weaken Westpoint's appeal, and I happen to love that town. Most WP players will want to move to Muld's new suburbs, and that means almost an end to Mall runs on my favorite server....

    Some people have been leaving some inappropriate and sometimes racist notes on the Reddker PVP server in public areas. Is there any way to figure out who wrote them to get the admin to ban them? or if I give the note to the admin's character can he tell who wrote it?

    tried to send PM

    Thank you for these videos. Tell me, is there any way for me to pull structures from an existing Multiplayer map? Or take a map complete with player made structures on a multiplayer server and transfer it for editing? My friend and I love the multiplayer server we are on. The player made structures ALL OVER the map and giant fort we made are terrific. But We wanted to try the same map with the same structures in a smaller scale with 4 of us privately and increase zombie activity, events, etc In essence, we want the same map but with different rule setups than the server runs.

    Falling to my death has been how the majority of my deaths have taken place. So much so that I booby trap the shit out of my house. Its a PVE server, so I can't kill offenders, but nobody really goes near my condo of death. Unlike creating a safehouse in the city, you can't "Claim" a safehouse you build in the woods to keep people out. So I creatively hide my loot in locked crates behind false walls and build a single safe path to navigate through the house, while leaving enough regular loot around to convince people they found my stuff. Aside from that safe path, uninvited people walking around corners in my housewill drop 3 stories to their death more often than not. I even have built doors on the 4th floor in the center of the house that lead to a deathdrop right in the middle of my building. I lol every time I find a corpse with a set of keys at the bottom. I even cleared a plot on the side to leave their bodies.

    Joined the PVE Server not long go. Love it so far. guys like Chuck norris, Spidey, Hardrock, etc helped me a lot during my initiation. Finally claimed a house! Thank you chuck for letting me hang on your 3rd floor awning to avoid Zombies!
