Red_Ensign

I just started playing again after quite a while away, and I'm having problems with my character. I customize it, name it, have that character on screen when I click play, yet every time a server loads it gives me a randomized character. what am I doing wrong? I don't remember it being this difficult. oh wait I think it's working now...

I have an LAR mag and maybe some other things to trade. looking for an assault (smersh) vest.

had a smersh backpack I'd been holding onto and just found a smersh vest! awesome! was attaching them together and... 'no signal from server in 8 seconds... 9 seconds... bye'. really?

found a hunting scope and a winchester within less than half an hour of each other, luckiest day in a long time since this was the first scope I'd seen in 1.05. got shot in the face entering a building in the middle of nowhere 15 minutes after that. not a word from the guy, just boom. 😕

anybody need anything? I'm taking orders and willing to take potatoes in exchange.

ran into somebody else being chased by zombies. he ran into a house and closed the door in front of the zombies, and they were outside going ape. this time instead of attacking the zombies, I went inside with him while they were away from the door. he just looked at me and I waved hi. LOL. then I skipped over to the door and let the zombies in. 🙂 we brawled them, and after they were dead I went one way and he went the other. neither of us a said a word.

so today I boredom respawned (ate a bullet) and I woke up in elektro. I'm in a building and I hear shots VERY close. no bullet impacts near me though so I decide to investigate. I'm come around a corner and a guy comes sprinting past me with half a dozen zombies on his tail. as he passes he yells RUUUUUUUUUN MAAAAAN. the zombies totally ignored me and ran right past me after him. he shut himself up in a building and I decided to be a hero and threw myself at the zombie hoard, armed with my... plum. dude, I tried.

kind of disappointing that they're promoting it as pure pvp. it needs a fucking disclaimer: 'you can also live in the woods off of mushrooms and deer and seldom even hear a shot fired'.

can't think of any other problem in the game that's as effectively killed my interest in playing. I don't have all day to feel my way from building to building, and I don't have all day to search for a server where I don't have to.

do you think I'd be posting if that were the case? it's nighttime on the local official servers when it's the middle of the day now.

I ran into a random guy in a building who thanked me for not killing him. maybe I was the first person in a while that didn't shoot at him, I dunno. he liked my helmet so I gave it to him.

if you like to change bindings you're gonna want to check your bindings each time you log into the game. some bindings revert to the default every time you leave the game.

yeah I see them in industrial buildings pretty often

want a fun creepy experience? go to a night server, put on a headlamp, and explore a town.

I'd say more than half of my random encounters have been non-threatening. I just give a quick wave and take off and they usually don't bother following me. I don't even have a mic on 99% of the time.

I noticed it once maybe a week ago, but I put on a different pair today and they stayed blue. so I dunno. must only happen sometimes.

are they ever gonna fix the server list so servers that are pitch black night don't say daytime? it's the most annoying thing ever for people who actually don't wanna fumble around in the dark.

in another game forum people like to say 'everybody' hates a certain mechanic, yet all the polls anybody has ever posted show 2/3 of the players are fine with it. just saying. I myself really don't like what I've seen of the new changes. I agree with things taking a proper amount of time to accomplish, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with being able to drag and drop items together. having to put things in your hand first and then hold a mouse button down until it finishes is just unnecessary tedium and turns me off in a big way. I'll give it a try though. and I've purposely stopped playing .62 months ago to hopefully make the difference less jarring. I tried a stress test and I couldn't set keybinds (bye). maybe that's fixed now. but I'll just wait til it goes live.

waiting for .63 stable. playing kerbal.

sounds like a suggestion from someone who plays in a large group already. as a largely solo player I'd say your idea to gimp solo players is dumb.

in the stress test I couldn't remap the keys. sounds like it's still an issue. hope it gets sorted out before stable. [edit] oh, it's fixed? ok well good. ot reinstalling until stable but glad it's fixed

yeah lots of players aren't much more than more zombies to deal with - they grunt and run at you flailing like they have rabies. even the ones that call themselves bandits aren't much more than that. it's disappointing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAH it's a bee! don't let it get meeeeee!

yeah I have to agree with the new stamina system too. someone carrying 100 pounds of gear should NOT move as fast or run as long as a new spawn with nothing. I'd also like people who've been wounded recently to be slowed down for a while even after throwing on a splint. maybe they'll get around to that. it's a survival game, and it should be about decisions and consequences. that may be less fun for a while because nobody's used to that, but in the end it'll be a richer game experience.
