William Carver Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 You know what I would like to see happen is that when time progresses into the years category, the zombies start getting weaker, and start to starve/decay. Perhaps if the timeline of the server stretches to 10/20 Years+, we could get rid of the zombies because all of them would have succumb to starvation or outright death. (All this would be due to the fact there is a lack of humans around to eat and the remaining would have to hold off long enough for this to happen). I think that would be a pretty neat and interesting addition. Also maybe just because I am a Walking Dead nut, I would like to see that everyone is infected but that doesn't really matter much.

Right now the game dosent hold a whole lot to do, multiplayer gets boring fast because people outright kill the zombies in the servers and there are not meta events like migrations, i like this server because they reset it each day, decay maybe but removing the zombies? In a zombie game? Why would you do that? I would say look at TLOU, but they have an evolution, here they dont, so look at Land of the dead, they dont decay that fast from the looks of it, and the devs take some lore from the Romero movies.

Okay, maybe not get rid of them all together. But after a certain amount of years, they should decay. I mean I am not exactly sure what the lore is for it, either if it is evolution or decay but it's just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okeer Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm proud to announce - Bedford Falls is now up and running on Picking up the Pieces (again)... Bedford Falls - Download Installation of Bedford Falls:unzip BedfordFallsV2.zip copy the "media" Folder from within to ..Steam\SteamApps\common\ProjectZomboid\ you should overwrite a Folder and a few Files (then you're copying it to the right place) Have funThere was no hard reset, so everything is still the same - you can now additionally spawn in Bedford Falls. On a clean PZ install there should be no problem with LuaChecksum errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackknicholson Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Anyone had problem joining the server today? for some reason i just get a black screen when trying to join, but I'm okay to join other servers.

SuperJack Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The server is working fine from my view and a few others. Make sure you have the most recent PZ version.Then make sure Only bedford is installed at the moment. Then, perhaps you may have to make a new character, have you tried that?

okeer Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Somewhere soon we will need to make a hard - reset in order to properly run ApCom Mod (walkie-talkie & radio broadcast mod) and a Full working Bedford (maybe some of you already saw those blank plains in middle of Bedford here and there)To continue with your character, grab everything you need on him and copy the map_p.bin within /Zomboid/Multiplayer/IP_CHARACTERNAME/map_p.binAfter hard reset and joining again you can overwrite that file with your saved character. There will be a post BEFORE we hard reset, this is just an announcement to prepare all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I am not exactly sure what the lore is for it, either if it is evolution or decay but it's just a thought. This is actually something I've thought long and hard about. I'm not opposed to the idea of making the zombies weaker as time goes on or getting rid of them, persay... Here's the problem, as Blasted said there isn't a lot to do in the game besides worry about zombies, plus, it IS- a zombie game and that's what people are playing for (myself included). On the other hand, I am a stickler for IC timelines and immersion. A few things would need to happen for this to truly be considered: One: Our event system would really need to take off, and I'd have to have more help with it when it did. This would bring more to do, while at the same time adding other elements.Two: Besides just events we'd need to implement more things to do, whether through the game itself or mods. Three: We'd have to be able to get that far in the timeline. I've thought a lot on my off time what this servers zombies were like, our own little personal lore. I realize, I'm not sure if with this new IC resent I made it clear why the Undead were as strong as they were (I might add onto this with storyline events).Until then, this problem very well may be approached with our storyline quests. Maybe. I haven't decided yet. A debate in the forums on this actually appeals to me. I might just make one now if it hasn't already been made.Since we're on the topic of zombies, I'll make a forum post about those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Brannigan Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'd prefer to see them evolve and grow stronger. I think "decay" would take too long and make things too easy. Either you'd have to make them decay very quick, or be realistic and make it take several in-game years, either way of which wouldn't be too fun, IMO. I'd prefer to see their virus rapidly mutate, rather than die off. Phenom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Carver Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Zombies should not be impervious to the laws of nature. Nature dictates that any living organism will begin to decompose upon its death. As zombies are dead outside of very limited and basic brain and motor function- they should be susceptible to the natural process of decompostion. The climate should also effect their decomposition as well. Since Kentucky has a very hot climate, the sun would literally bake you if you stay out in the sun to long. I am definitely not saying we should get rid of zombies, although I am not against it, after a certain number of years their numbers should decrease significantly.

Don't forget to save your characters, and remember that even after the hard reset is done you can STILL save your character before you log back on.If this works to fix the problems we've been having I'll start with the storyline event(s).We will NOT be incorporating the Apcon mod this go.
