    Crossbow on 0.44 experimantal

    Yeah, I did too, but he had a Mosin with, I suspect, no ammo, I had an SKS and a fire axe slung, a .44 in a shoulder holster and another dude standing there with me holding an ace. I think he had survivability doubts, if you get my meaning. I wonder if bolts will go in the ammo can. Anyone tried that?

    4 characters? Stable vs. Experimental?...

    Actually, before the recent patch there were private and public hives in experimental, both having regular and hardcore, so, theoretically, you could have six toons. However, it seems the private ones did not have a database so you got a brand new bambino every time you logged in, even if it was the same server (this has changed since all the experimentals seem to have gone private now and have a database). Haven't seen a public hive on experimental for the past couple of days. Or maybe it was vice versa, I don't remember so good these days. Anyhow, I think the point is you can have two toons per hive.

    Crossbow on 0.44 experimantal

    I found one too, it was on the sink counter of the green 2 story house with the double brown doors up in Olsha, it was standing straight up, kind of looked like an antenna. Gave it to a dude with a crossbow who promptly ran away.

    What You Get Attached To...

    Right on, I keep one one stashed in the pack for emergencies.

    What You Get Attached To...

    Can opener. I bought a real one and keep it in my car because of this game.

    Gave you beans because you utterly and completely missed the reference and the joke.

    Crossbow on 0.44 experimantal

    What we really need is an .88 magnum, cause it shoots through schools.
  9. Not on experimental my friend and I can witness to it like a Jehovah's witness on your front door step. Axe just doesn't work that well anymore on experimental, they are so useless I am even considering dumping it altogether but old habits die hard.

    "Camping" KOS

    Hear, hear. On all points I might add.

    "Camping" KOS

    Had a dude try to do that to me on experimental, he was up on the ATC tower at NEAF. I climbed the ladder and he point blanked me in the face with an M4, he was such a crappy shot that he only knocked me out, I waited, came to patched up and made like a French soldier in 1940 since it was a Mexican Standoff, would be too tough to get at him and didn't want to wait him out. Meanwhile we had a conversation. Right after he winged me he said "surprise mfer", I replied with "Oh you are sooo cool, now come patch me up", he says "what? no pretty please?" what a doche. Ruined one of my two pristine canteens too. Would be kinda fun if a zed or two would randomly spawn up there.

    New Experimental?

    No not out, put the item in hand, bring it to the ready position and hit G

    New Experimental?

    I chucked a hammer at an approaching zombie and saw blood spatter when I hit it, it then took me three hits with fists to get him down for good. Not exactly sure if it did damage or I had some lucky hits though, seems the hammer took some damage though since I could have sworn it was only damaged but when I retrieved it was badly damaged. I would love to have a hatchet to throw, that would be fun, especially if it sticks out of the forehead. If you look at sunrise it gets darker too, just as you experienced with sunset, that is kind of a bother and I wish sunglasses would mitigate that, is that the goal? I have rubber banded and did a lag dive through a staircase (HATE THAT) in a fire station and died, respawned near that location, made my way back and tried to loot the body, it was a no go. That said I am a long ass way from the nearest server. To bad too, that toon was fully geared had survived some douche shooting it in the face at the NE airfield, patching myself up and getting out of that Mexican standoff since the guy was a crappy shot and only knocked me out, a super tense night of looting the tent city at NW airfield (that had my adrenaline pumping and my dog nearly gave a heart attack when she jumped up barking at something outside the house). That said I am a long ass way from the nearest server. On a hardcore server I had a toon lag dive through the walkway of a warehouse and die, I was stopped and in the process of having painted and replacing components on my M4. I could see that I was on the floor before I respawned, there was no one there and really no reason for that toon to fall like that That was annoying as all get out.

    New Experimental?

    Yeah, I had a "Session Lost", and when I logged in someplace else got the penalty. Kinda bogus for that kind of thing but I get it. Keeps folks from the "server jump ambush" exploit since t will take awhile to get back now.

    Will tents and bases reduce KoS mentality

    Maybe you will be and that is fine, I put up the CU in SWG but NGE was the ultimate insult. Not going through that again, especially if Darth Smed has anything at all to say about it. Screw SOE. In fact I think I would KoS Smed if I ever saw him in game, then hunt his fat ass down and do it again and again and again, etc, etc, ad nauseum.As for the OP, no it won't, go try Rust, KoS is rampant, even on the PVE only servers (exploited bug).

    New Experimental?

    Yeah, even the invincible fire are is less efficient than fists. I was beating and beating on one that just would not go down, it was a "badly damaged" farming hoe. Is this as intended? That fists are better than any other melee weapon in the game right now? Doesn't seem that should be right....

    I gave you beans just for quoting Warren Zevon.

    Aloha is for tourists..

    Server is banging today.. Changing to hardcore was a good thing.
  20. Just cause you're pissed at me doesn't mean you should abuse your forum rights to comment on my posts. You're the one that goofed up, not me. So buzz off. Now I bet you'll be petulant and ban me.

    Any Windows 8 users.

    No issues, can't figure out how to screenshot with 8.1 but that is operator headspace and timing..

    Do you think Zombies should be headshots only?

    These are not zombies in the NotLD sense, they are infected in a sort of 28DL kind of way. What would be fun is if you could inject them with a cure.

    Metro Station

    Oh, you're one of those that believes rail here isn't a boondoggle. It's just as corrupt here, especially since the guy who took over the rail project just fired the engineering company that was doing it to hire the one HE USED TO WORK FOR. Ok, rant complete.
  24. People who pun usually burn in hell! LOL Besides, last time it was the boobies, now, no boobies.

    How careful are you?

    I am just this side of not careful enough I'd say. I try to use the terrain to my advantage when moving through the country side, use the military crest and all that, so I do that pretty well. On airfields and such I run with my axe in the attack position and this can lead to a whole lot of misunderstandings when running into real people who have guns, so I get shot or shot at a lot, I then try to get back and avenge my toon, that NEVER works out.. I carry the axe that way for the zeds not the people. Anyway, I started pulling a pistol to ready when I am indoors because of the axe thing. I tried ear buds and my God, all the new sounds, can't do ear bud anymore, freaks me out. I actually get vertigo too, can't do heights either, I'd be a cruddy sniper.. Vertigo can lead to me making that slow motion fall from great heights, you know the one where you are thinking "I hope I only break my legs" before you splat.
