    Great topic.  

     

     

    I personally dislike shared hives due to ghosting as others have mentioned but if we are to have one this change will make it a better introduction to the game than the current state of affairs.  

     

     

    If there here is a public hive it should not have private management.

    Updated: Same vehicle.  

     

    Ran around doing some heli crash hunting and hit a fence when the car rubber banded during a turn.  This blew out the front tires which showed as pristine and could not be changed.  The car drove just fine.

    Checked another heli crash at NWAF and that's when things got strange.  As I was placing items in the car inventory my character began sliding around in random directions.  After a minute of this I relogged to find the heli crash had been deleted.  Then proceeded to drive to the opposite end of the airfield where I got "you are dead" followed by a game crash.    

    Logged back in alive but the car was non operational.  While testing I got into and out of the car and again died, this time the effects were permanent.

    Getting strange desync around a car I found in Novo.  Invisible zed, actions delayed extremely etc.  Once I got the car running all went well but I died when I first spotted it to the mentioned invisible zed and nearly did again my second attempt when I rubber banded 10m or so behind a wall.   Seems it may be related to door states server side in that area so I'm not sure the vehicle was at fault but it's the only issue I had on the server.  

     

    My second attempt I had another player with me who did not go through buildings and he was not experiencing this.

    Did you try

    Did you try eating hot food?, IRL hypothermia is all about core temperature hot food and drinks should cure it quicker than sitting by a fire. I haven't had a chance to try yet as I got some server crashes just as I was setting up my fire.

    also helps to heat up cans and other containers then store them in inventory as makeshift heatpacks.

    Almost died of Hypothermia because I went afk for a minute to make my kiddo something to eat and hadn't gathered the materials for a fire, it was raining and zombies were everywhere.  It was perfect.

    Zombie ranges seemed much closer today so the desynch may be resolving a bit.  Didn't get to test much else before the servers went down.

    typo

    I had asked on Twitter a few days ago whether the changes we have seen to lighting (proper shadows and no longer casting light through walls) would also change how explosions were handled in regard to how damage is distributed.  

    Currently explosions seem to have been reduced in radius because they go through walls.  

    Can we hope to see them returned to their larger radius but with cover working to avoid damage due to the progress made with the engine?

    Didn't get in today but the one Friday had the same issue with being pushed through objects.  I got forced into a corner of the police station where I could not get out.   Only relogging allowed me to escape the corner between fallen shelves where the zed pushed me.

    What if there were no matches in the game anymore. Were would you be then, huh? Get in a firefight, get shot but still live. Hmm I need food, let's light this fire. Damn it! My matches are ruined.

    The option to create a fire in life is life saving. Embrace the hand drill kit or you're not worth this precious item. My preciousssssss.

    But I'm serious, embrace it. The trees will turn against you otherwise.

    I said it isn't ideal, doesn't mean I don't use it regularly in game and that I wouldn't resort to it in a survival situation.

     

    Lol, way to take the least important part of the message out of context there champ.

    oh ok i was hoping i could make it light up using a hand drill kit lol , i was hopeful, thanks anyways tatanko!

    You can light it off a fire so there's your process for using the hand drill kit.  Definitely not ideal, but neither is resorting to the hand drill kit in the first place.

    What frustrates me is this change broke the ability to look up in first person yet still allows 3rd to lay prone on a rooftop and peer at everyting around.

     

    If anything it is now worse for players playing 1st person on 3rd person because they can't even look up at the hospital roof to see the completely hidden character who is watching them when he finally does stand up to shoot.

    Not happening to me if I'm correctly energized/hydrated and not stuffed, seriously

    The ONLY time I went starving lately is cause I drank too much, puked, and then made the mistake of eating rice which took me on a wild spiral of stuffed/thirsty/starving

    But other than that, unless you eat the wrong things or sprint around all day, you don't have to eat more than every 2 or 3 hours

    (which isnt realistic sure, but it's a game design decision there)

    Technically you don't have to eat that frequently (though it does leave you vulnerable if your hunger is high).

    But yeah, I feel like the hunger system is either being ignored by a large group of players or they are willfully exaggerating their experiences to affect change.

    We checked because thats the first thing we though of, its not the case. QA has been going through all reported IPs and doing gameplay focus tests to see if its really that hard (including me,brian and design team)

    Glad to know you are fact checking in game as well as with the raw data.

    And most players are in the coastal cities.

    Bingo! So move inland and not on some previous "loot run" path.

    Check cars and deer stands and out houses.

    Check on rooftops and under tables.

    Really look not just blaze through full tilt.

    Its not harder because there are less bullets (which there arent by the way, the initial nominal values of every item is the same as it was before. It just isnt concetrated in the few buildings people kept visiting. Runs through same areas dont work etc.)

    Its harder because survival elements are more of a factor.

    Apparently I've reached some quota on the number of your posts which I can give kudos or whatever for so +1!

    I have a question about chicken feathers. I was under the impression you find them by some probability (you can find feathers after you didn't find them on the same site). Is that the case or are the feathers also pre-distributed and respawn like other items.

    It can spawn feathers again just as Apple trees and berry bushes can.
