time to retire the "forward leaping zombies"
Buffaloe replied to pacific_coast's topic in General Discussion
I like the idea of zombies leaping at my throat. I'd prefer it beeing less glitchy and the zombies actually hitting me though :D -
HOW CAN YOU BREAK A GAME AFTER FIXING IT!
Buffaloe replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Discussion
So, OP wants the zombies to be slow fleshbags he can easily dodge, or if he wishes annihilate? That sounds pretty boring... I suggest you dry you tears, eat a beefsteak, drink a glass of milk and become a man! No, seriously, I think the zombies are on a very good way. They should be strong and fearsome! As soon as the glitching, AI and spawning is fixed, they should get a nice increase in quantity. You shall fear the horde! -
You are disgusting. You must be pretty miserable yourself, when you try to elevate yourself above someone else in such a hideous fashion.

Zombies not dying since i updated! 22/03/2014 + What is your opinion on the speed of zombies being increased!
Buffaloe replied to Aiirr1's topic in General Discussion
Dude, the fact that they are zombies is already unrealistic....I don't see how you can bitch about !ZOMBIES! beeing not realistic -.- Be a man. They die fine to axes, and bullets. The zombies are there to be a challenge, imo they should become even stronger/more. -
Hell yeah, the new Zs are awesome. The animations look good, and finally they aren't that horribly slow anymore. Oh, and i can feel your pain... Having to choose can be pure torture ;(

Buffaloe replied to Aiirr1's topic in General Discussion
I love the new zombie speed. I don't get why people complain about it... You can still easily outrun zombies The new animations and the jumping looks pretty cool too. The problem is just that the zombies sometimes jump through you, without dealng damage. -
OP has some good points. But as it was already said before, gun spawns aren't the only way to "control" firearms. Having guns spawn in conditions other than prestine, and bad condition having strong drawbacks (jamming, low accuracy) would certainly help the situation. Changing ammo spawns is also quite a good idea. If ammo for high tier military weapons was rarer, people had more of an incentive to stick to the lower tier weapons. In the end it could lead to some interesting decisions: "Do i take this badly damaged m4 knowing I may have trouble finding ammo for, or this worn shotgun, whose ammo is way more available." Btw: I like rockets announcement of making guns rarer as soon as we have alternatives. I hope they stick with that!

Nice story mate
-
Yea, items you store in your pockets do seem to get ruined too easily.
-
I don't see how It's bullshit. Realism (yea zombies...) and immersion are important parts of the game. And since food is a cenral aspect to your survival and therefore the game, it should increase, and not hinder your immersion. One or two items like tactical bacon, no probs. But the general eastern europe ambient should be maintained, the new item/textures point into a different direction though. I didn't notice it myself at first, but I think it should not continue this way.
-
Jokes apart though, one or two gag items might be fine, but they shouldn't overdo it. We already got tac-bacon, westernized beans and payday masks ^^, too much would indeed be harmful. Immersion oftenly comes from details... I still think OP is making too big of a drama out of it, but there still is a point though...
-
Hm, I haven't really thought about it quite yet, but you are actually right. The old can fit the setting of the game way better. Of course it's just a really minor issue, but still the devil lies in the details.
-
^This edit: Oh wait, i know: Muricans!

Yo, Chawktah get yourself some bacon. It will calm you down.

For the guys with session lost / can't connect issues.
Buffaloe replied to [Outcasts]Massacre's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the advice OP. It did actually help. -
Goddamit, these threads enrage me! Listen up you whiny wieners! MAN UP! We need more, stronger, and hungrier zombies!
-
Well, zombies should be able to take several shots to the body. Especially from a low calibre gun. Aim for the head, that's what every zombie movie teaches you :P
-
Lol, well it's still better than dying to a ladder...

Why The Distinction Between Civilian/Military Weapons Is Bad, And You Should Feel Bad
Buffaloe replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Well, I outlined that in my post. It used to be used in the military, but nowadays it's outdated, and not in military use anymore. Same as the mosin, it was used by the military, but isn't anymore nowadays, instead it's very popular among civilians. I already mentioned that in my interpretation of the typology though. Sure those terms have their flaws, but i think they still are justified. -
Hm, maybe it has changed with the patch. I can't really tell, since the desync and the other network problems they currently have make the game nearly unplayable for me :/

Why The Distinction Between Civilian/Military Weapons Is Bad, And You Should Feel Bad
Buffaloe replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
I tend to disagree with you. Sure the distinction civilian/military is problematic. When people say "military" they mean modern, military equipment. (assault rifles, lmgs, modern sniper rifles, maybe even grenade launchers) When they use the term civilian, they either mean purely civilian weapons, OR (very) outdated military equipment, that doesen't reach the quality of the aforementioned ones, or is very widespread in the population. I think for the sake of argument, the terms "civilian" and "military" are adequate and usefull. Personally, I'd like to focus of the gun-game to be on low grade "civilian" weapons, than on modern military ones. edit: I do agree though, that military and western weapons aren't necessarily a no go. They should be VERY rare though, making them precious and coveted. -
You sir, should buy a lottery ticket.

My beans and respect to you KoS. aand folks, I really don't think there is a point in causing a debate over some side aspect of a (pretty damn hliarious) joke. Sure, it's a serious topic, but everything goes in satire.
-
The zombie apocalypse seems to have driven this species to the brink of extinction. Which is a horrible catastrophe! The beans.... the bacon....tasty bacon... all wasted by the brute force of a fireaxe instead of beeing gently embraced by the docile blade of a can opener. On a serious note: What's your succes on finding can openers? I find shitloads of cans, but even when I'm close to fully geared, I usually still lack can openers. Am I stupid and blind or are there others sharing my suffering? the poor poooooor bacon the beans and the tasty yet miserable sardines.... :(
-
I guess i should start playing with my glasses on Oo well it's not really a big deal to waste food since it's rather plentifull, but still...them beans.. On the other hand... murphy's law *points at post above*, there seem to be many people that have trouble finding one particular item :D
