How the hell did you guys even try the new patch?
makomachine replied to Rick1633's topic in General Discussion
Hope the patch fixes this for those having problems. I've been one of the lucky ones I guess with minimal issues so far. Fingers crossed it fixes the connection issues as I like this build better than the previous - zombie physics aside. -
If you are killed by zombies, you need to practice... Zeds in this patch are a welcome factor, but far from a threat. Use your feet.... We need improved path/physics, better spawn logic, realistic suppression noises for weapons (as it relates to Zeds), and then a LOT more Zeds.

Too funny OP - I had a friendly try to help me when I first got started that did the exact same thing. They went on and on about how sorry they were in chat - great way to break the new guy in... Look at the bright side, you can change the look of your character now and you get to start the quest again for all the goodies!

Now that looting towns is so "risky" due to the Zed threat..
makomachine replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I find myself looking in inventory sometimes and asking, do I really need 300+ rounds of ammo? Funny how the mind works as you loot around. Probably should have picked up an extra soda or two... -
I want the Amphibia, cause I've never had it. Funny how that works. I've even had sportier mags and tested it enough to know it doesn't earn a spot in inventory....

just think of it this way: the update is delivered in two parts!

Quite a few with Holiday Inn Express credentials, no doubt.... -

Penguins are the freaking problem. Damn flightless birds got it all hosed up again.... -
Never played warz, but can tell you I've never seen a game with the kind of draw distance and expanse that this game does. I bought Arma 3 just based on this and agree it is a very unique experience and would guess VERY difficult to do outside their engine...

Looting is a hoot, please don't shoot!!!! (No caffeine for 2 days makes me a rambling idiot it seems) -

makomachine replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
Then let's do that as I'm being misunderstood here. I didn't label the OP friendly, bandit, or otherwise. I don't believe there is a line there - which is what makes the game interesting to me personally. I'm a fan of the genre and desperate people do different things based on personal circumstances. As example, I'm opposed to 'skins' in game categorizing individuals. I was just pointing out to the OP that he said he was friendly (self declaration, not me) and then did something that isn't perceived by most players as friendly. It can be a tactic - it can be an intent unfulfilled - it can be a change of intent after the fact (look at that loot!) - it was an observation, not a label. I'm just not sure why you insist on drawing conclusions that I'm not trying to make. My point around insults starts where you inferred that only a moron wouldn't have shot - maybe that's a bad inference in my part. Regardless - this could easily be settled over a beer, or rotten kiwi hooch, at an undisclosed woodland campfire when they get the patch for that,.. -

makomachine replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
I believe you started with insults. I also believe I clearly stated that I don't care how anyone plays. It's a sandbox, knock yourselves out. I don't think you'd get my point as you aren't a person I'd expect to have a clear understanding of 'friendly' as the word is defined.... Elitist? You CLEARLY don't know me... -

I think you have a crush - move along, I believe my point is well understood by most in this thread. Why don't you occupy your time by looking for that shed at the airfield... We'll wait... -
KoS in relation to the new spawn mechanism of Zombies: Good or Bad?
makomachine replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
I think its going to be a mix of more KOS and teamwork. Very interested in seeing how the dynamic changes - but looting a building doesn't cost you ammo and risk breaking legs at a bad time. I think it's going to morph over time. I can definitely see a rush to Elektro where Bambi's are looting Bambi bodies fallen by the Zeds. Especially if they drive the player count up. -
Good lesson and fair warning to others. I'm looking for rotting grain and fruit - along with persistent storage - as I want to craft some hooch... Man's gotta make a living in the apocalypse....

makomachine replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
I get you didn't kill purely on site and context is probably not clear as 'I wasn't there'. Unnerving regardless, stumbling on someone when you least expect it. We do what we do in the apocalypse.... -

makomachine replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
You assume judging had anything to do with my comment? I could care less if he kills on site, tortures the guy, or makes him a martini. I just know what 'friendly' means - and it's not shooting an unresponsive, non-threatening player in his hidey hole. Rage on chewy, rage on.... -
To the guy I killed just south of the NE Airfield.
makomachine replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
We agree to violently disagree. You entered the shed after spotting his nonresponsive character. Was he setting up an ambush in a non-loot spawning location as obscure as a shed? You could have moved on, you chose not to and you escalated the situation. I believe that's quite the opposite of what MOST players would call 'friendly'. Fact enough for me anyway... Again, no judging - your option to play as you like - bit don't post your story here and get defensive for obvious observations of others... -

makomachine replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
I'm not judging, but saying you are friendly - then advancing on a player who isn't drawing their gun, then killing their unresponsive character...well, it's not friendly... That's the only point I'll make - you had LOTS of other options but you KOS - no judging, just a fact.... -

Guy killed at the NE Airfield: "How am I dead?? Logged out safely in that shed with nobody around for Christi's sake!" -OR- "Man that was a good sandwich - I need to get some mor pastrami after....what the hell??? YOU ARE DEAD?? Son of a...." -OR- "I shouldn't have drank that second cup of coffee this morning. Oh no! I should have logged out if I take a...." You pick, likely one of these or variation there of.... -
LMG's, a fortified location, and the zombie horde - just doesn't get better than that!

Get on that horse man! Nobodies going to ride it for you! Price of admission is dirt cheap!!! -
First place I'm barricading when it's implemented!! Oh the VIEWS to be seen! Survivors screaming in the town below, Zeds swarming in the distant airfield, brings tears to my eyes! :)

With obamacare, everyone needs to have coverage for prescription sticks! Any other sticks are wrong!! Don't get me started on the forms to get medical sticks approved by your insurance provider. Per existing zombie damage is exempt...

I may give this a whirl after my next character wipe/death. I agree that there will come a point where shelter for longer periods will be needed. You are testing it in the extreme - I like it, just a bit cowardly with all my precious!!! :)

I'm quitting caffeine as of yesterday - soooooo we are on the same page!!
