Demonica

Yep, it's my favorite try to fix anything that's wrong. Didn't work. Thank You though :) I'll just wait for a while and see how it plays over the weekend.

That is actually a very good question, but I don't think it's intended that reboot is just not working. This happened before and I don't think it was intentionally (The reboot and then being stuck at "Wait for host" thing I mean.)

So yet another weird thing, before the restart of Singapore - 04 I left a backpack, now it's gone. I am fairly certain that within 5 minutes no one actually could have discovered it. Stupid question, but I am unsure now: Is persistence supposedly on or off?

I waited on the same server, but I simply ran out of patience. Played Singapore for a bit, and loot is kinda rare, although as always there's an abundance of books, chemlights and other useless stuff. Unless you wanna try to munch on a chemlight. That would be fun! Handcuff a player and force feed them chemlights! :D Edit: "No message received" on Singapore now. It looks like that one don't come up no more either. Grrrr.

Now UK 17 is full and Singapore might be soon. Is this a server-restart issue or something? I might have to make my temporary home in Singapore, even though it's night and it's not easy to stay warm.

Welp... I didn't have trouble with crashes until now - twice in a row I got CTD'd. No fun :( I thought it may help if I verify my game files (which I did) but this time it's not working. Grr. And of course my home server is one of the ones being unavailable. I guess it's just one of those days for me. Oh well. Anyone with a tip on how to not CTD? I don't think there's a fix that we players can apply :-/ Edit: Oh, and now all the available servers are full. Time for the "I click as soon as a space is open on any server" game.

Funniest thing ever just happened. I'm running through Berezino, no Zeds whatsoever, also no loot. No problem. Finally I hear the familiar Zombie Sounds, turn to where they are, and there's a good half dozen of them chasing a cow through the streets :D Then, Session lost. I don't know if this was related though, but it sure made my morning that much funnier!

Wow. Just spawned in the Berezino Area and checked a couple deerstands out, they were bone-dry, just like every single house when I began heading inland. Not complaining, just noting this. Has anyone had luck with Barns or the huge Metal Sheds yet? Can opening bug needs fixing!

Uhm... not really, they are all still there. Just two or three are actually being played on if that's what you mean.

Well, one ten minute run, no crashes. But, except for chemlights, no loot either. No hammers, no shovels, no tools whatsoever. Hunger / thirst is still somewhat extreme, the weather (except for soaking still being too fast even if you are in a t shirt) is maybe a bit more forgiving. I'll test some more tomorrow, thanks BioHaze for the comprehensive layout, it's appreciated :-)

YARRRR! Let me jump into this patch, now that the early starters got the best and most loot (at least it felt like that every time last patch :P) I'm really sorry to get to this so late, but please confirm / deny: So I read temperature is more forgiving, and stomach etc. has been adjusted, correct? (Also there are a ton of servers right now that are stuck again, but all the others fill up nicely so I think this may have been on purpose.) I hate to keep asking stuff about every patch, but Wednesdays are my work (no, really, WORK! days), I'll try to keep up as best as I can. Persistence going okay, working and all? Thanks guys, see you in game!

Nickname: Demonica Exp. Server (3rd Person), Kamyshovo, green house across from Police Station, Top Floor. Broken leg, cold going on freezing, energy levels okay but not much longer. Blue backpack and check shirt, balaclava, crowbar, female. NVM, exp. got wiped.

I know, right? I mean yeah, I get it, my leg is broken, and it hurts, but holy apple in a can, enough is enough already! Sad thing is I am finally geared and energized and I'm gonna die of cold and fractures cause I can't move. Okay, fine, my own damn fault, but GAWD! Woman, shut UP!

Okay... Funny story of the day. I was cold. It was raining. So I thought "Hey, if you run, you warm up! Let's run against a wall for a while and see what happens!" Well, warm up I did. I also broke my leg and ruined my pants. Now, every 3-7 seconds my female character goes "uuhh...oh...uhhh" - I feel like I am in the wrong movie on so many levels. I think I'll let her die, this moaning is way more than I can take...

That's one of the funniest pics I've seen in a long time and perfectly sums up what Apple picking does these days! Sire, my Beans are yours, may they keep you healthy and energized :D

This, unfortunately, is exactly what I was "forced" to do. So, I decided "screw it!", geared up (barely) with a shovel, a can of tuna and a school briefcase. Downed a Zucchini and a can of Spite on the way and headed towards Solnichny, planning on seeing if Tulga on the way had some more loot to offer. I started out at Kamy, finally ready to go exploring a little. All needs were at neutral after being dark energized for about five to eight minutes. So I set out, dodge a couple Zeds, and keep in mind NOT to sprint as this seems out to just suck your energy right out of you. It was exactly 8 minutes until I was hungry, 5 more until I went into "starving" mode and becoming thirsty. I don't even know what to say anymore. There was no way I was gonna make it to Solnichny (or anywhere else) as in this state I fought a couple of Zeds which left me bleeding with no rags left. Sorry, but this is just sad. I honestly have to say I ragequit for the first time in many months. I know I just wanted to try it, and experimental doesn't really mean much since we get wiped again next update, but it is just really getting too frustrating. So yeah, hotfix please. I hope my tears will taste delicious. May they get you energized and healthy. :emptycan:

That and hammers. Screwdrivers have seemingly been nerfed while Duct Tape is still available to all. I thought I had read somewhere that in the near future these tools will actually become something of value as we start into the basic base building / barricading mechanics. So, just for shits and giggles, I will start playing Home Depot on my "home" server and just start collecting. I know it'll all get wiped eventually but a couple of tool runs can help me establish a route where the most common things may be found, once experimental isn't quite so screwed up anymore ^^

Verifying my game files has helped me with the movement bug :) Try it, maybe it works for others too!

Check the dev tracker twice daily, you'll probably see it there first ;)

Essentially, this. Just when I thought I was finally safe for just a couple of moments, closing a door behind me (only one entrance), I get double hit. I turn around - no zombie there. WHAM! Oh, hello ghostie-zomb! I guess he just really wanted some attention, the poor things get smacked in the face by everyone, maybe he just wanted to cuddle... through the wall... with both paws at the same time.

Well, THAT was weird. Logged in, started running, trying to see what this running bug was all about and thinking I'd know how to stop it since so many of you posted. Ha! I ran away from Zed's, used the num. keypad to look back at them - and my head stays on backward. I could not look forward anymore, no matter what I tapped and double tapped. Funny as hell :lol: Let's see what the following session brings and let me hope for a hotfix for the hunger / thirst system. I don't mind the whole thing getting harder, but that's a bit too harsh for me.

Grrr. Can't play tonight, might be yet a bit buggy for me anyways. So... is Persistence working fine so far? Has anyone found any horticulture-able items yet? Can't wait to read more reports from you guys! :thumbsup: :beans:

I don't think I'd really mind it as long as the devs are finding a smart and fair way for implementation. I could think of a few extremely safe (from players) places, the thing is: Go to sleep on a low pop server, you're almost guaranteed to be safe from other players unless you make your bed on the runway of an airfield. And, if lockable doors are available, you should be safe from the environment in a house. Hell, for all I know you could sleep in a high deer stand - Zed's and Animals don't climb, you don't get wet (but cold / warm), and as I mentioned, on a low pop server you should be totally fine. If they were to do it though, they must implement it so that the "broad masses" and casual players as well as us "hardcore players" get somewhat satisfied, and that is something that's just not gonna happen, sad but true. Sleep, as an added benefit, could help you heal up just a tad bit faster, but of course not fast enough to fully heal after being mortally wounded. It shouldn't be restoring blood (duh), but after a certain "sleep time" (3 hrs. or more), some refreshing benefit should be added. Hunger and thirst should be raised slightly so you should have some breakfast after you wake like in RL (unless you're stuffed before you go to sleep). There's a lot of things that could change / add to the game play. Interesting in theory for sure, executing this is a different story entirely.

Can I skin and quarter animals with a fire axe? I forgot about the machete, but don't these two give you much less meat as compared to a knife, taking also in consideration the "Pristine" vs. "Damaged" Status?

Where in the heck have all the freaking kitchen knives gone? Where can I find those suckers again? Sheds? Industrial Sites? :( Help! I wantz to goez hunting pleez!
