READ THIS - The truth on the hunger/thirst issue
James MacDonald replied to *Exile* Sami's topic in General Discussion
I've eaten a bag of rice 100%, cereal 100%, tuna 75%, can of beans 100% and some fruits all in a row (to make space) and I didn't get the full stomach. If you ate all that in real life you'd explode O_O -
If the world went to shit, would you leave your house and take nothing with you? No, you probably would bring something. However I'm happy with only spawning with a flashlight, but I don't think food and drink ruins anything. Spawning with weapons on the other hand is gonna ruin a lot.

Looking for some people to play with

I'm EU, don't feel like playing with 150-250 ping and guessing you don't either. -
I just eat whatever I have, I've eaten rotten food several times and don't even bother checking the status on food thats not rotten. I haven't gotten infected a single time, however I've died several times of dehydration as I never seem to find any drinks...

I'm kinda scared about talking to my friends over skype or ts with anything related to my location. In case my mic lets the server know. I was driven crazy by constant talking by russians, british, norwegians, swedish, polish, germans, you name it, talking in the chat non-stop. So I ended up muting VOIP which solved it, however I can't hear direct chat anymore either, which causes a whole new problem.

Do the motorcycle helmets provide better head protection than other hats?

Screw protection! I'll take my beanie, shades and mouthbind any day -

Whats your age and location? EU/US -
I got a few questions about base building when it finally gets implemented. - Will it be over or under ground? (To me underground makes more sense, and I think I read somewhere a while ago that that is how it's going to be done.) - Will it be saved for only you, or saved on the server? If saved on server, how will it handle the overload of bases? If saved only for you, will you be able to bring friends into them, and how? - Will the base follow you from server to server, or will you need to choose one server as you would with a tent? (Obviously only applies if saved only for you.) - Will there be containers for items, furniture, multiple floors and rooms etc etc available for building? If so does it all come in one 'package' as you build the base (maybe as different presets?), or do you build them one at a time choosing what to build from a ledger or something similar? - Will there be a possibility of intruders? (Both zombies and players?) - Will you be able to log out inside the base? Hopefully any answers to this will shed some light on this for me and anyone else who might wonder. Thanks in advance. P.S: I tried using the search function, but got 150 results. The pages I looked through had completely unrelated topics. Please link me to any you might have found.

I expected as much from a regular guy as myself, but hoping someone that knows maybe the devs or something reads this.

I think it's not dark enough... I have my gamma on default (in the middle), and its a full moon night. Looks like a black and gray movie, might as well have been day as you see everything just as well unless you are inside small spaces.

I was walking into a town when I heard the screams of a zombie. Then I heard the footsteps coming closer and closer and I looked around in horror, but didn't see anything. Hmm... thats weird I thought to myself and continued looking around when suddenly I got a punch in the face followed by another scream. He was right next to me punching me! I took my axe and swung it around like crazy trying to hit this invisible zombie, but to no avail. So I took the last option I had... I ran for it! I kept hearing him scream and roar behind me as I ran for my life. More and more of these invisible zombies joined him it seemed as the screams now came from multiple directions. I kept on running, eventually turning around to try and kill this monstrosity. Yet again my efforts were fruitless and I took several punches, luckily I didn't start to bleed. When I got some distance between me and them (I think?) I logged out. I've been told this might happen due to zombies stuck in walls not rendering, but I was nowhere near any walls (In a field approaching the town) when I got attacked. My escape was back into the fields away from town again. P.S: I tried to post this into the bug reports, but it said "Your account is blocked or wrong log-in". I'm sure I did it right all the attempts, and I've got no idea why I would be blocked, as I just made this account on this forum (which might be why?).
-
Yeah, I hear the noises very often as well. I've only been attacked by invisible zombies that one time (So far atleast).
-
He meant the guy you claim to be a hacker hit exit instead of respawn, not you and your friend.
-
Ah well, I'm from EU. :|
-
Are you EU or US based?
-
They were invisible. I'm aware of the ambient animals making zombie noises and random sounds pops, but that doesn't explain why I was being punched and killed by them every time I stopped running.

Please Dean let everyone settle in before you make changes!
James MacDonald replied to scaramoosh's topic in General Discussion
I've been walking for many hours now, and I'm always dying of dehydration due to how rare the drinks seems to be... only place I find them is in super markets, and even then there might not be any. And super markets don't grow on trees either. I might just be super unlucky, but still... even when I found 2 drinks and drank them both and got 'Your thirst has been quenched' or whatever it says, literally 5 seconds later I got 'You're thirsty'. Didn't I just get a message saying I drank enough? Well, I kinda went off topic and obviously still haven't gotten the food/drink system, but the point is they seem to be really rare. However I finally found a canteen before logging off so I should just need wells now.
