The new animation looks like our character is just starting to learn how to run, just swinging from side to side. I JUST realized what it reminds me off! I wasn't able to find a video, but if you've seen the show Touch, the running looks like the autistic boy jake´s running. Almost exactly!

Wheres the option for "When they're ready"? Seems like the only correct answer.

hmm alright, very odd. :/ my bad Oh my god, i swore this day would never happen, but I am now the forum idiot spewing assumptions as facts. :O DON'T LOOK AT ME, IM HIDEOUS!

Its the exact same with items in your inventory, wobo has got a great video on what seems to be whats going on. Check it out and youll never loose stuff again :)

i think the big difference in the wide range of "i found everything in 2 seconds" to "ive died several times, not finding a single piece of clothing" is persistence. From what ive experienced persistence enabled servers is a step in the wrong direction loot spawning wise, the quadrant system seems to just funnel items into 3-10 rarely looted houses, while houses that are checked regularly are left with trash items. Pens, paper, hammers, wrenches, pliers, you get the point. Now, the more you die the more loot is going to disappear from locations close to spawn and slowly move more northwest, and as the process repeats and stack up, eventually you're going to stack up those trash items, basically giving the server a point in time where trash items are the only items in game. However they have implemented a loot cleanup method, but i have no idea how that works or what it will cleanup so i cant make a statement, but in short persistence needs tweaking.

With what build? the extra bugfixes one or the one from yesterday?

Then dont write that you log out..... Anyways, its a known bug, basically dont stay around for the server reset, log out before it does, if you see the restart messages or join another server after being kicked from restart and you should be fine. And if you do get wiped try logging into other servers, and you might get your character back.

hmm let me be the first to justify your logic with a response. "The first topic is loot distribution and adding "more granular control over the quantity of each type of item that spawns". This isn't a feature, this is feature refinement - balance adjustment. Fine tuning the amount and types of loot that drop isn't a new feature, it's a variation of an existing feature, and a minor one at that." Here's where you went off a little, in fact dean has stated many many times that vehicles are going to be very rare, having some parts for advanced vehicles like choppers be extremely difficult to procure. And with the loot system as it is, this is not possible. You would have an item with a certain spawn chance and it would spawn every so often, even after say maybe an advanced vehicle is already built or the parts are well distributed, which is something he has mentioned he doesn't want. Now with the central loot economy the plan is for them to be able to limit the amount of an specific item to a number for the entire hive and so in fact central loot economy is a absolute must have BEFORE vehicles are introduced.

So me and a friend of mine got into a bit of trouble at the Clocktower, with a couple of bandits at the top floor but we couldnt storm then because our guns wouldnt lift past what seemed like a 45 degree angle.. Soo? bug/wip/limitation what would be the point of this feature?

Hopefully it will be recorded tho, if someone can link the video to this thread that would be great.

I've voted for a mid-tier damage system, because i think its important not to allow super fortresses, now im not saying that spending days on a base would be all for show but that the challenge in raiding would be to find these bases. Ideally i'd probably go for a mix of advanced-mid tier damage system as you describe them at least, having to do some tricky crafting or using hard to get items to even attempt breaking into a larger base, but needing simpler things for just barricades or similar. Building massive bases, although cool should be a huge risk as you put a massive target on youself. Where smaller bases would be quite unsecure.

Im guessing its just the Advanced Weather effects, maybe some snow? And having that actually affect the player/Ballistics. Getting cold = getting sick, and such. Its something they mentioned in .49 so im not gonna get my hopes up for more. I've been disapointed too many times ;_;

I have not seen it or heard of it happening either, apparently one of the issues is that the system they have to spawn loot right now doesn't allow a weapon to spawn with a magazine in it. But when that gets hardcoded into the engine blah blah blah the usual.

People seem to believe that yes, but really what they said was that when they dealt with duping and persistent storage. "As we progress towards the August milestone goal of 0.49 at the end of the month, we will continue to iterate upon the experimental branch with bug fixes and 0.49 intended features. Additionally worth mentioning is the intended cleanup of the stable hive to coincide with persistent storage and private shards being offered globally across stable branch. It is our intent once we have addressed the core issues with abuse of item duping, as well as resolved issues with the protection of player storage and opened game server providers rental of private shards, to wipe the stable branch clean."

3/74 i believe, unless they changed something :)
