Do you get the no message received for xx seconds message? I've never heard of s screen just going black unless it's accompanied by "you are dead"

Damn dude! Never think about or add up how much money you've spent on 1000 games! How long to you play each one, a week? But yes I agree. No game has ever got my heart pumping on occasion like this one. It's also the kind of game where you can tell someone a whole story about a battle or experience you had and it nearly sounds like it was real. Try doing that in most pvp games where you kill, die and re-spawn never to think of that moment again. I still remember some epic battles from the mod from like 2 years ago!

I found a long range scope (and a magnum finally!) in the Novo tower yesterday. I haven't seen any pu scopes in .49 either or ammo boxes. I forgot they were a thing until someone in here reminded me!

Yeah, we know.

It seems like in your post it's just PVP strategy you're lacking. Stay off main roads, run along edges of buildings and along sidewalks, scout main buildings and outskirts before you enter and don't get attached to your gear. You will die lots right now. Sometimes you'll know why and sometimes you won't. I hope this will change in the future with some sort of honour system but for now that's the game. Good luck!

I agree. This should be a sticky! Well done Pilgram, well said.

So sure the creators and devs have made a butt load of money from this release already. But do you think if they could have seen the future or reaction that they have been getting from the whinging minority would they have done it this way again? I think the silent majority of people know how game development and testing works. But the majority of people on the forums are the loud minority who comment or complain the most. I am not sure if having the general public being alpha testers was the way to go. Whenever Hicks or Dean tweet anything it's almost a guarantee that within the first 5 responses someone's going to say when do I get my humvee with rocket launchers. It's got to wear on them. I'm sure they just move on from it but do you think they would have done more internal testing first if they knew the shitstorm of criticism they were going to get?

I find this is one of the few games that does this to me too. I think part of it is you can spend hours just exploring, gearing up and killing a zombie or 2. Then all of a sudden the whole game changes. You need to make split decisions like fight or flight, say hello, wave, (oh crap that's the middle finger button!) or figure out what you or they are going to do. In most games when you see there is an enemy, you kill him before he kills you. No need to think or evaluate. That's what makes this game so fun. Edit: IOS 8 Keyboard sucks!

There was one version in the mod that you could eat a dead person but the risk of infection was 50/50. That would be acceptable odds.

I don't save any food or drink right now. Just eat and drink anything I find as I roam. I don't even put it in my inventory. Just eat all of the ground. Eventually you will get stuffed or spew and know it's time to take a break.

A bit of a weird question. What was the outcome? Did you died? I find that almost always when I get followed in 3rd person it's best to fight in 1st person. More accurate. Head shots with axes work best and also what is the condition of your axe?

Oh that's weird. If you tried morphine or a splint and are hydrated and healthy you should be okay. Has your status said healing? It takes a while even after you are sweet so maybe you nee to wait to start healing. Can you post a screenshot of your view?

Oh wait....what? I didn't say hummer......

They must still have internal testers pre public release though or even during right, right? I can't see this method stealing to many jobs from testers. If so them crap, I just took a test this week to be a software tester! I don't need a 12 year old stealing my job!

So I haven't seen much talk of it since the wipe. Is duping gear a thing of the past now? I'm not even sure how it was done but have they changed or blocked that technique? Was it a hack or just a glitch like in the mod where you shoot a geared mate as they are logging in, they log out quickly and were still alive to log back in with the same gear. Sorry admins if that is how it's done in SA please delete or pm me and I can remove if mentioning the mod technique is breaking forum rules. Mostly though I'm asking, is it fixed now?

I don't think I've seen too much talk of falling trees by the devs or us testers. So right now you chop them down and half the time they fall into the ground and on steep hills I've even seen them disappear. So here's a couple questions for you all. 1. Do you think one day they will kill you if you're under them and if so should they? Oh imagine chopping a tree to the last chop and then dropping it on some snipers head! 2. Will they become persistent to the point that a private shard is logged of all the trees? 3. Since they're bringing in gardening how about planting trees. I see it as useful if you want to hide your base or tent or block line of sight. Of course maybe it takes like 2 weeks to grow. (Not real if course but it's still a game.) 4. One day do we think that tree forts or bases will be implemented? (Wookie wars!) Anyone else have any tree ideas or requests?

Okay see you in 6 years for our tree fort battle. Really? It's still a game!

Boom....headshot! But some of the variables are the more clothing layers you have on affect your resistance to bullets. Also the condition of the clothes you are wearing offers different amounts of protection too. At least that's how I understand it from reading the forums.

Haha, I can see how it's a misleading title....or is it? I mean, I'm yellin' timmbberrr! Come on. You're all too focused on PVP! Lol. How about a few giant trees around that are hollowed out that you can barricade or stash some gear in. That would be cool.

He wishes he was Rhino!

Learn about alpha testing. The animators don't do work on the controls. That's a whole different department. And what animations do you consider broken?

I have a theory that running will get slower and cars will be near the current running speed. Then the map is HUGE!

I think that keys aren't the only way though. What about a 4 digit code? You could give it to your friends if you want too instead of copying keys. That's how it's done in Rust last time I checked. Or what about once you make a code it appears on a slip of paper in your inventory. You could hide it near your base to use as leverage for trading or once you die a player knows it but still has to find your base?

I do wonder why in the time it took you to take a screen shot, log out, go into the forums and upload the screenshot why you didn't just run 2 minutes in any direction and find a road sign? Did you not know you can do that? If not that's cool....you can. :)

Totally following this topic! Very amusing and fun.
