fyi, you CAN stop it from doing that if you empty the 30-rd mags in your inventory. when it happened to me, I'd just picked up a 30 and forgot to empty it.

yep. you can't get through a doorway, but a zombie can bitchslap you with his mind from cuba.

I feel your pain. lost my drum a few days ago to similar crap. :-/ game did that stupid 'you clicked on a door - you must want to switch magazines' crap. no space for my drum in my storage, and putting it on the ground would've been too fucking logical so it teleported to cuba or iceland instead. every day I feel like kicking a programmer in the crotch while screaming ALPHA!

personally, I'd avoid any tricks that circumvent designed carry limits. a day could come when all those things carried 'illegally' could just suddenly vanish.

yeah, this is crap. yes, the zombies should've been more of a threat. but for fuck's sake sake you could've just made them tougher or hit harder or something. as things are now, they're ridiculously overwhelming if you're alone because if a zombie draws blood, good luck finding a long enough break between zombie attacks to fucking bandage yourself. having time to bandage yourself AND reload is fucking christmas morning. yeah I know this overkill is unintentional, because you broke melee weapons. and some of the zombies are invisible now (oh, great). just fix it. or at least undo this horrible patch for now. a game being hard isn't a bad thing. but a game being hard because it's broken is not fun.

I just had an invisible one almost kill me. kept up with me sprinting all the way through a town, hitting me at will. could not see him anywhere. and while this was going on, a dead zombie was sliding along the ground, also following me. the invisible zombie only became visible when I entered and then left a building. I know it was him, because when I killed him the invisible attacks stopped. going through that one town cost me 72 rounds and about half my gear. (note to devs: beta is the OTHER fucking direction)

let them fix clubs and sharp sticks first.

I think horrendous lag can do that

was this video supposed to make you look cool? go ahead and google 'dbag'.

it was a better alpha up until wednesday, is people's point.

if you favor melee weapons, you may wanna stay away for another 6 months.

if you wanna wait an hour for a server, go ahead. also not everyone want to play this game as a big kos battle against other players. some of us have our hands full right now just with the unkillable zombies.

I've actually never played call of duty. you'll have to borrow another clever stock insult from game forums. and I haven't been playing this as a deathmatch game at all. up until yesterday I was playing with an axe and a bow, hunting deer and boar. another of your clever stereotypes missing the mark.

wait til your ammo starts to run low, because every trip somewhere costs you more bullets than you find...

I keep the good stuff in the pack where zombies can't (currently) destroy it. and yeah it was insane - they kept showing up in twos and threes every few seconds. couldn't bandage myself, couldn't even reload.

yeah I had to switch to guns. and I'm running out of ammo fast, because shooting one zombie means also having to shoot the ten zombies the shooting attracts. keep an eye out for nearby ladders. if they get you bleeding, you will NOT get a chance to bandage yourself without climbing a ladder first. I was out in a field and shot a deer. was about to skin it and a zombie shows up. I shoot him, and more show up. then more showed up. I used up an entire 75-round drum and zombies were still coming. finally managed to bandage myself, while a zombie was beating on me, just before I went unconscious. apparently going unconscious makes the zombies leave you the fuck alone. so I woke up again, and the zombies started showing up again. I couldn't even see where I was going because being hurt makes the screen go blurry, but I just ran. after that I changed me name to 'fuck this patch'. true story.

this week I've been doing something different with my hardcore character. I've imposed two rules - no bullets and no canned food or drinks. and it's been going pretty well. got a bow made, found some arrows, learned how to make a fire and cook food, and I've gotten much much better at taking out zombies with an axe. made a fishing pole too, but the fishing equipment was just too much to carry with all the other stuff. for food I've been eating fruit and veggies, etc.. today on my coffee break (I work from home) I was traveling to another town and I spotted a deer. took four arrows but I got him. :-) only recovered one arrow though. venison on the menu tonight! XD if you see my cooking fire (in about 5 hours when I'm off) stop by for some. I'll be back in the NE somewhere. I also have some rare goods to trade. [edit] on the way to dinner I found a boar also and introduced it to my axe. :-) made myself a stylish leather backpack and had enough hide left over for my dinner guest to make one too. a stupid server reset ate my bow and half my trade goods while I was making space for all the boar bits, but we swapped a few things. I also showed off my prowess in fire making and cooking, marred by my eating a piece of deer before it was quite done (embarrassing, that). all in all, a pleasant day. I may make venison cookouts a regular saturday night thing. I definitely need to get myself a headset though.

imelda marcos spent the night in lockup.

you ran away from the sun to get where you are. have you considered running toward the sun to get back?

wonder if I can cook stuff over a burning bandit corpse...

this is AWESOME and worth more beans than I'm allowed to give. forum mods, please sticky this post! I am totally gonna do this. I don't have anyone to save, but I'm gonna leave random missions for people. XD or maybe bbq invites next time I kill a boar.

'I saw a bird yesterday' is a better story than twilight.

there's LOTS of finished games that frustrate me more than this alpha. they could fix nothing here and I'd still be fine with the 30 bucks I spent.

why the hell didn't you put the gun away and use your axe? (earlier, I meant)

I'm out of ice cream sammiches.
