Lock the thread? Total derailment; chaos.

I had a weird experience yesterday where certain keys weren't working for no apparent reason. I had to restart the game. Firstly, I was stuck in walk mode. Pressing shift once or double-tap had no effect. Binding it to another key had no effect. Secondly, I could not tap right mouse for the iron sights mode. I could zoom in by holding rmb, but tapping it had no effect. The next time shift wasn't working again, but then started working after a few minutes. It was strange, and not something I've ever experienced before.

Good, good, good, good vibrations :) You came across as somebody who knew how to survive and I liked that.

Only received two emails, nothing else since. Email notification seems broken from here :)

HardTarget: If you're already looking at them then it would just be a case of waiting for the timer. If they're not prone and/or moving then it'll be easier to find them by scanning (even easier with zoom). It simulates looking at something for long enough to start seeing familiar shapes within the mess. Visibility is already implemented as the eye icon on the right of the screen. I don't know how resource-intensive ray-tracing is, but that may also help. Edit: Just read your post, Oktyabr. I think we're thinking along similar lines. I hope a balanced system can be implemented :)

Just throwing in my .02: How about using factors such as day/night, distance, and the visibility meter to calculate how long you have to focus on them before the tag comes up? Day and night would reduce/increase focus time respectively, distance would increase focus time, and higher visibility would decrease focus time. When you have kept focus on the player for the required time then the tag pops up.

I did' date=' and I didn't ask, but it's not easy thumbing through all these constantly growing pages. It might not be a bad idea to update the main post with the new time. [hr'] I'm not sure the traps or random zombie aggro from distance are such a good idea. Two new random ways to die sounds more frustrating than fun. What I do is go to rocket's profile and click Find All Posts. Saves having to wade through all the zombie text.

If I were rocket I'd give you a batman outfit.

Sinking to their level twists my panties real tight. And that pinches.

Wait, Batman disconnects when attacked? No longer my hero.

To the people who are whining about why it isn't out yet - try reading the thread! rocket has already stated why. You're behaving like zombies.

On a lower note, I had an unfortunate encounter today. Serious question: if you were going up some stairs with a hatchet in hand and you saw a man at the top, crouched, in camo, with an assault rifle pointing in your direction would you stop? This guy kept coming towards me and I had to take him out. I didn't enjoy it, and I don't like having a murder and the warning signs associated with it, but he kept coming towards me after he saw me. To be honest, that's not what really bugs me. I did send two voip messages telling him not to enter and not to come up the stairs, respectively. What bugs me is that I don't know if those messages even went through. My luck with direct communications so far has been next to squat. So I presume nothing went through. Still, if I was in his shoes and I saw somebody pointing an assault rifle at me, I certainly would not keep moving towards them.

He's not the hero we need, but he's the disconnector we deserve right now. I do not approve. /edited accordingly

Email notifications have returned :) Cheers! Edit: Only getting notifications from one thread so far. Will keep an eye on it.
