'bout frickin' time. Lovin' the new zombies.

Overall everything played pretty well last night. (First time playing since patch). The overheating thing is a pain in the arse right now. So now we have to have room in our packs for both warm coat and water proof coat or you run the very real risk of over heating, freezing, and/or getting soaked as we travel around. The one thing that really pissed me off though was that in the span of about 5 minutes the following happened. I am warming up. I am hot. I am hot. I am hot. I am thirsty. Drink all canteen. (100%) I am hot. I am overheating. (repeat that about 20 times). Finally get to pond. Get into water to cool off. My leg is painful. I have a fracture. My feet are sore. My feet hurt. Pristine pants--> Ruined. All items IN pants--- Ruined. Pristine Boots--> Ruined. I am hot. My feat are sore. It's a bit ridiculous right now. Still having fun in the game but the damage models and leg breaking glitches are out of control. I really REALLY wish they would focus on dealing with these things. I mean, welding helmets and pink derringers are nice and all, but come on. I can assume they haven't dealt with the roof top equivalent leg breaking glitch. Personally I think the broken wells are intentional. They are forcing people to experience the new overheating mechanic to see how it works. Just like after .49 it would rain every three minutes on what seemed like every damn server. I will admit that finding water was really a non-issue before. There are ponds and wells everywhere. And once they add in sickness from bad water it will be even harder to survive. I just hope that they remember that for people to want to play the game it has to still be fun and you need to at SOME point have a chance to get to a place where you are relatively comfortable and surviving. If they make it so that you are guaranteed death no matter what you do it becomes futile and eventually boring. Remember what Joshua taught us. When there are no winners "the only winning move is not to play." ....what? I'm showing my age again? C'mon, you guys play online games. You HAVE to know the movie. ;-)

I'll just close this door and back away,... slowly.

If memory serves it was in Elektro, a few buildings east of the police station.

Are you sure about this? I'm fairly certain you need them to cook meat. Though you don't need a stone just to make a fire to get warm by.

Love it when I'm running across an open field and hear a fence move from what sounds like 3 meters away. =P

They could add a camo tent option and make it so they don't even render at a certain distance less than the default for other objects. That way you would almost have to be right on top of it to see it.

Sorry if this has been posted already. For purely aesthetic reasons I would like a less (for lack of a better word) silly looking bleeding animation. It just looks like red puff balls falling out of your pockets when you run. It also looks extra silly when you are bleeding from a bout 2 feet away from your head/arm/butt, ...whatever. I'm not familiar with the engine and it's capabilities in this regard but I HAVE to believe it could be better implemented.

HA! Priceless.

Damage models need major tweaking for sure. It's just that the silly bleeding takes me out of the emersion every single time. I'm sure it's near the bottom of the list for things they want to change. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Every time I get shot at when I'm not expecting it I just about shit my pants anyway so, no I don't think it's needed in the game.

Mended several things last night. Seemed okay for me.

Sitting in a garage for over a half hour waiting for the rain to stop. ...fun game. =P edit: Changed servers,..... pouring rain. Non-stop. /sigh

If you hit a key like the W or C or whatever it will wait till the eating animation finishes and then will activate that movement. Perhaps you hit it while you were eating?

Zombies. Which aren't "actual" zombies. They are essentially just people. I don't know about you but I've never met anyone that can hit and bite a biker jacket and ruin it in a few seconds. I guess not knowing the backstory really I SUPPOSE they could be super human.

INSTANTLY soaked after being in the rain for 2 seconds? C'mon. =P I'd say this mechanic needs a fair bit of tweaking. While me are on the subject of game mechanics, please explain how a leather jacket can go from Pristine to completely ruined in three punches. =P Lovin' the game but if you are going for "realism"...

"-New door implementation" I noticed the addition of sound to doors opening and closing, but does this mean that they implemented the random open/closed state of doors on restart?

I did that on my first login. It was also the last time. =P

I'll be happy if they just add a player trade option so you don't have to just throw crap on the ground.

Bus stop shack. edit: sorry for the double post. Not sure how that happened. If any moderator feels like deleting it...

Bus stop shack.

Sure, why not. My only issue will be if they make them act like the zeds currently do. Which I'm really hoping the also change.

See, they key word you used there was "close". i have no doubt a bear would attack you if you were too close. But if it uses the same mechanic as the zombies where they see you and charge you from 500+ meters away then it would just be stupid. And yes, I think I understand it is a video game. One that strives to be a survival simulator that focuses on as much realism as it can in a fictitious situation. So adding rabid blood thirsty animals just to have something else to attack you is lame and the opposite of immersive.

In regards to hitting zeds I have found that 3rd person view is MUCH easier. 1st person or hardcore made me feel like an axe wielding chimpanzee on bath salts. Actually I would probably hit better if I were. =P

Except the bears aren't starving. If anything they are eating well. There are deer, cows, pigs, rabbits etc all roaming free in the fields. And why do you think you NEVER find any freakin' berries on the bushes? Seriously though, in real life any time anyone sees a bear in the wild you really only ever see their butt for a reason. Bears will pretty much never run across an open field to attack a person unless they feel their young are in danger. They know we aren't on the menu unless they sneak up on you while you are sleeping in your tent and forget to hang your food in a tree. If they have every bear and every wolf immediately charge you from a half kilometer away it will just be stupid, annoying and unrealistic.
