Lancer 2-2

Taking a feature from the now closed MMO game Roma Victor. If you logged off while outside in the wilderness, your avatar was stood there for a minute or two with a log out timer. If you logged out inside of a building or in a protected zone you disappeared instantly. So this would give an incentive to use tents, log out in or under shelter.... it adds another layer of that realism while making things... slightly more dangerous and it adds to this base building thing Rocket talked about months back. If you are "in combat" then your avatar cannot vanish until your out of combat and they need to fix the bug of disappearing bodies... cannot loot dead people if they disappear when they respawn.

How do you actually attach modules to the M4? I have one, with a bipod and flashlight in my backpack but I cannot figure out how to attach them... dragging and dropping seems to do nothing. Also where can the mosin be found? I have been in an out of almost all the buildings industrial, farm and civilian including shops, barns and some offices and found no weapons. Only weapons I have found have been an M4 and pistol with 1 mag each, NW airfield in one of the buildings with the jail cell like door.

Wouldn't this create two or more entries into the master hive for every player that did this depending how many servers they hop into and what if you die in Server A and then log into Server B, your alive again... Say your on server A, you disconnect from server A, you can reconnect straight way. If you disconnect from Server A, and connect to server B, you cannot then connect to Server A again (after disconnecting from server B) for something like 30 minutes to an hour... by which point most combat is over I'm guessing.

Just find a server forcing 1st person, I tbh don't care, but I like 3d person to view my character and animations... :)

First three times I logged in it was night time, got a bit fed up until I finally found servers are not all operating on the same time so I managed to find a daytime one. Loot is a bit off right now, not enough server restarts or something but coastal areas are pretty much barren and military bases have way too much. Not enough zombies, but I think the game needs more optimization first because I've lowered my settings, despite 8Gb RAM, AMX FX 8350 x8 4.3GhZ and a GTX 770 2Gb GPU, running on Windows 7 64-bit I only get 15 FPS in very empty feeling cities. So fingers crossed for the future updates! :)

Things I would like to see changed: 1) Mosin Nagant ammo more common 2) Mosin Nagant is one shot kill (it takes skill to use a one shot weapon, and it should be loud like the enfield in the mod). 3) Military Bases swarming with zombies and zombie horde mode turned on (after optimization) 4) Additional civilian weapons such as pistols, AKs, shotguns, hunting rifles added to various civilian official buildings as well as some civilian houses and barns. 5) Additional military based weapons and items added to military bases 6) The return of randomly spawning military and civilian official helicopter crash sites This should hopefully make it far more dangerous to open fire in a military base which will make bandits think twice before randomly shooting people. Military bases could almost become a sort of dungeon scenario where it is best tackled with a group of people with different roles, working as a team with a plan. People who don't want to risk the military bases have access to equipment too to survive. Those are just some of my person hopes! :) Is crafting defences in the game yet? Such as barbed wire/sandbag walls?

Design: players who disconnect when unconscious will die Design: players who disconnect when restrained will die Finally the old mod abort trick fixed... question... does their body and therefore gear remain or does that vanish when they log off? Because if so then it can still be used to troll someone who has managed to take you down so they cannot have your shiny gear.

Anyone noticed since the last update a certain type of lag? Player movement, gun fire, aiming is all fine... the lag comes from the action menu like Picking up, Refilling, drinking, eating, gutting, making a fire, collecting wood... etc... etc.... I select the option and it takes forever to do it! I spam clicked refil my canteern once, gave up and ran off. A minute later my canteen was full and for the next 5 minutes I was spammed with you have no empty canterrn to fill message... This is occuring on multiple servers and makes it dangerous to loot because I'm stood there tree times as long waiting for something to happen. I've checked and my ping is good and my latency is normal so I don't understand it!

Was this not removed with the new Combat Mode icon? It's my understand that when you fire or are fired upon (round hitting you or coming within 8m) then you cannot succesfully logout/abort. Or does the attacker have to fire within 8m of their target? Reason being I was running West towards Cherno when I spotted a player to my left closer to the edge of the forest. I stopped behind a tree and watched and noticed there were two of them, one a bandit with what looked like a .50 sniper. Sniper and Spotter out to kill innocent bambis.... so I snook up on them with my Lee Enfield.... Aimed and fired off two rounds, both hit, both knocked out (I dont think either of them died)... I moved up switching to my M9 SD to finish them when they both vanished and aborted.... WTF?!?!!?!?

Because one of them just got up so I didnt have time to focus and the other one, while lying down I couldnt quite see the head.

Okay just had it big today... again my ping and latency are fine. I just got to the market of a town, noticed some delay when picking up stuff. I was just about to switch out my pack for another one when I heard a shot across the town, so I moved to a safer location. I had the doors closed, he came right to my doors, as he opened he moved in and then moved to the left, I went to open comms when I just fell over, out for the count under the blue lockers. No timer, not bleeding... it was weird. The guy said sorry he didnt see me... I thought... must be some server lag.... then all the zombies came... lots for a winchester shot.... he ran off. After about 2 minutes of lying there I got the hour glass appear then it said wait 3 seconds and then I died.... yet my UI didnt show me as bleeding.... I've noticed this action and data lag since .4 and it really affecting gameplay and loot spawns. Sometimes you can run into a town and there is no loot at all and when the zombies eventually spawn they ignore you...

Hi guys So I logged back in today and drove my ATV to Grishino just west of the NW airfield. Before entering I look a look in the binoculars and I saw no zombies, when I arrived something hit my ATV which flipped it over and over. When it eventually landed upsidedown I got out and ran to one side, injured and bleeding before my ATV with some good loot blew up. I then took cover behind two buildings and a church from the direction I saw the shot come from to bandage. I then heard what I can only descript as a short burst of a gattling/mini gun and the church got flattened, I ran for it, the second building got flattened then the one next to me which crushed me to death. Okay... that was weird experience number one. So I relog to join my friend on another UK server and get spawned in Electro, unusually bad performance and plenty of FPS drops but I found lots of bodies. No loot anywhere, I mean nothing not even scraps in any of the buildings I checked including the Firestation, corner pubs, offices, market... unusual I thought. Then two shots landed near me so I darted for cover, doubled back. Since I had no weapon I couldnt flank and engage but I spotted an offroad jeep (BAF) a head and a body next to it. On route I was checking over my sholder when my leg randomly broke, blood down and I was unconcious... shot maybe? Then two sections of the wall to my right fell down... weird... I woke up, bandaged... nothing happened... so I moved on. The dead body had an AS50, crap loads of loot and meat. So I transfered everything from his body to the jeep, fixed the wheel, took the AS50, ate the meat the drove the heck out of there. Got to the next town, hit the jeep and relogged to get rid of the FPS drops. Logged back in and I was back near the jeep, but my starting out gear had been reset and the AS50 was gone! Okay... weird experience number two (these are on public hive servers btw). I switched to a third UK server, spawned and managed to run into Electro... again no loot anywhere! I did die on this server once but before I did I met a guy who proclaimed he had been in two buildings with no loot before he logged out to join his friend on another server. Anyway the loot I found were from dead bodies, which btw there were plenty of. I think I found about 12-15 dead people, I studied them all and some were the same guy who had died 3 times at the same spot!... I've run to the hills and logged, half expected to find basic starting gear when I log back in next.... Okay... that was weird experience number two, well two point five.... What the hell is going on? Half tempted to go back to private hive.

Oh I just thought that the Combat Mode meant that even if they "abort" with either method your character stays in-game until the combat timer returns to green. Like in EVE Online if you attacked somone and logged out your character would be stood their until the aggression timer ran out (your ship would still be in space somewhere). It also meant you could not use a stargate or dock until the aggression timer ran out. Just annoying, both were down and bleeding at least but just as I moved out from the tree they vanished! :( Oh well

Tents clogging up more popular servers could be fixed if everyone had the ability to pack up a tent they found....

Hi guys, I've played for two days so far, I've found and had a number of equipment, been killed by zombies (which I now know how to avoid) but mostly players, bandit or noob snipers who ignore me stating my friendly intentions. Save me just shooting every player on site and becoming a bandit I'd like to join a squad, platoon, clan, hive or public players on a private server. I like the idea of traveling and searching as a group, operations into towns, the NWAF, defending the base camp. I'm up for it all. I've had clan/guild/corporation experience in all manner of games from Battlefield 3, Pirates of the Burning Sea, EVE Online, World of Tanks, Americas Army and more. I'm not new to FPS, I know a decent level of tactics, I am fine with forums, I have Mumble, Ventrillo and TeamSpeak 3. I am willing to download Skype, Xfire etc... Hope to hear from you soon! Lancer out!

Well this is annoying, found a good server and now for some reason I can't log in. I had an issue where it was "waiting on host" for ages, then stuck on "loading" for ages. Now I log in, says I'm killed and I'm stuck in the plains of death.....
