crap. can't find the buddy i met today
Death By Crowbar replied to bioned's topic in General Discussion
Were you the one who we ran through a city or two (with that dude with the black tshirt following us) and whimsically came up with this idea to sneak attack the first well outfitted dude we saw, then when we ran into two well outfitted dudes the one died of hunger right in front of us, then you hit the other guy with the shovel so he shot and killed you? If so, that was hilarious. -
Anyone else seen this before? It was by a lighthouse... The tree is literally in the air! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=230586680

Server population - do you gravitate to large or small?
Death By Crowbar posted a topic in General Discussion
I tend to hit servers with 10 or less people. What's everyone else's preference? -
This was new - taken hostage by 2 dudes, then killed by other dudes
Death By Crowbar posted a topic in General Discussion
Well that was a first. Was at the airbase, looking for friendlies (maybe that is where I went wrong in the first place). Saw 2 dudes run into the control tower, coulda brained them, but they looked friendly. Went in to meet them, they talked to me then handcuffed me and held me hostage, rummaged my gear, then the one guy defibbed himself on accident which was funny. They were sorta silly, its unclear if they planned to kill me or not. However, then another group of dudes came up and killed us all. So - ever been taken hostage by one group then killed by another? That was my luck tonight. I shoulda worn my lowering of the expectations hat tonight. Dang. -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
"looked friendly" is subjective, I know, that was probably my downfall. This is what they looked like after the one dude defibbed himself while I was captive. LOL. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=230090022 -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Just tried one with a population 30/40 - didn't end up so well. Got taken hostage by what looked like 2 friendlies then killed by another group. F me! -
A "rotten" kiwi being "pristine" is akin to SPAM being present on your grocery store shelf. How can a "rotten" kiwi, or any fruit for that matter, possibly be "pristine"?

Broke my legs, had an axe and forest around me... no sticks...

I want to be able to chop someone else's leg off and use it to replace my broken leg. -
Stuck in building void, zombie knocked me in there. Any suggestions?
Death By Crowbar posted a topic in General Discussion
The whole zombie pathing and attacking through floors issue is bad enough, but a stupid zombie attacked me near the airfields and somehow managed to knock me into a void of a military drop building and now I cannot get out. Any suggestions? Here's a link to a screenshot of where I'm stuck currently. I've tried logging out and logging back into another server and that doesn't seem to help. Do I need to contact an admin or something? I don't want to kill myself! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=229449214 -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Finally free, logging out for the evening. Check the cowboy hat and mask, I look half respectable. I ran into a dude tonight that I thought was a zombie at first and he didn't shoot me even though I look sorta like a bandit. Fairly civil night, minus the building that ate me and held me hostage for a half hour. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=229455612 -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Ok - triumph, I have broken through! After trying everything logical and silly I finally managed to somehow vault myself into that room with the computer. I'm out. -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Well, yeah, of course I know this isn't a finished game. But getting trapped in voids is kinda a big deal. I'd imagine a developer would want to see this and put preventative measures to prevent it and/or allow escape, no? If I just kill myself how does that help further the game? I'm trying to find out: 1. Do the devs want to see this and review any logs to see how this happened and analyze the situation. 2. Is there a way for me to escape? I realize it's a game in progress, but when you pay $29.99 USD for it on Steam there's a level of support that should be expected, even if not a finalized product yet. The fact that it's a paid for game is where the "it's not done yet" argument falls off the tracks and becomes irrelevant, you've bought it and are expecting help/support. -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
I've tried log rolling and other crap to get out. I cannot get out of this damn building! Are there really no dev/gm resources to help with insane situations such as this? I'm wondering if this shouldn't be reported as a bug. Another screenshot - I've tried nearly everything I can think of across 2-3 servers now and cannot break free of this damn prison. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=229451486 -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Like an idiot I even tried chopping out with my axe for a while but I know that wasn't going to help. I tried various things going from 1st to 3rd person (I've had this do weird things like ghost me onto other side of walls before), but that didn't work. I've also tried crawling or vaulting, with no luck. I've also tried shooting to attract other zombies to knock me through the wall again but that didn't work either. Would suck to undermine a few hours of gearing up because I'm stuck in a building void. Arghhh!!!! >:( -
Player models view/rendering distance

I sense a sniper in training... -
I actually found one, a rabbit! I tried chopping it, punching it, etc and I couldn't kill it. Then I turned my back for 1/2 sec to see if anyone was around and when I turned back around it was gone! Like a ghost! I got a screenshot of it here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=225416300

LOL Koval...

I often have to travel through up to 5 towns to get all the food I need. After every time I die and respawn that's the most stressful part - and full of risk. I usually get blown away by someone while in a town hitting up a hospital or something looking for food.
-
The fact that I've stayed alive for over a day is rather amazing to me. I'm becoming a lot more careful in what risks I take and when I come out of the back country to risk interaction with possible bandits, especially on servers with 10+ people. So here's my crux - rather than kiting zombies away and coming back to my loot goals each time I started killing them from time to time. I don't know why, but in the past 24-48 hours my aim has gotten HORRIBLE. The result is that I've taken some damage and am now low on blood. Each time I've bandaged myself so I'm not currently bleeding. I've hit up 2-3 hospitals looking for blood to no avail. I've considered parking it at a hospital and logging out and back in from another server to see if the loot I'm looking for is there but that's sort of cheating and I'd rather try this straight up (learn out to do it right or get help from someone). I even tested myself with a test kit and found I was O+ (sweet, at least I know!). But I'm walking around with everything quite blurry, no amount of food/drink I hit up seems to help, no amount of bandages, morphine, etc I take helps either. I'm assuming my only way to fix this is a blood transfusion or something. Has anyone experienced this and can anyone confirm? Any tips or help would be much appreciated. It's kinda fun to be geared up and ready to tackle the world for a change, but my vision is getting fubar from what I'm guessing is blood loss!

Bean beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot... errr... heal? -

Well, in trying to stay off the beaten path I ended up somehow sliding down a cliff face and died. That was unexpected. Yet another learning experience I suppose. :( -

Ok, update again - not to spam, but my vision is back to normal! Gluttony heals all (except for disinfectant spray)? -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Ok, this is interesting. I tried eating some stuff but assumed everyone must be full of bunk - but suddently a 3rd green rectangle of "healing" turned up in my inventory alongside "Engergized" and "Hydrated". But I had to eat 2 cans of tuna, 1.5 cans of beans, and some other stuff. I feel like a fat kid at a cake convention... but I definitely got the "healing" status finally. -

Death By Crowbar replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
An update after logging back in and looking - it says I'm "Energized" and "Hydrated" in my inventory screen - there's nothing about healing. Am I dealing with something else perhaps?
