In fairness, it is a bit better than it used to be. Gone, at least, are the days when you would simply fall through a floor and die; which stopped me from going anywhere above ground for at least two years.

Understanding of "prion" not strong in this lore. It's not a virus... Sorry, just feeling pedantic.

NVGs

Very well put, and I couldn't agree more. If any more was needed to put the (dwindling) loyal, and long-suffering playerbase off vanilla, this is it.

Yesterday, after maintenance, I could play both vanilla and modded servers fine. But then later in the day, a lot of modded servers started to develop errors, and now I can't get into vanilla either. This problem is usually "bad version, server rejected connection", or some variety of pbo error. A lot of people are getting it, and we're doing all the usual checks and reinstalls. This probably explains why so many modded servers are completely empty - no one can get on them. The suspicion is that a mod maker has somehow failed to update something, and now we're all screwed. Does anyone have more insight?

The effect of intoxication for fun gameplay
Mookie (original) replied to maxon-69's topic in General Discussion
I don't...quite understand why this needs to be in game. It's very easy to implement outside the game. Then you find yourself the next day either dead, or sitting in the middle of the road in Cherno wondering what the hell happened. -
BTW, a 9V battery is completely incapable of delivering any of this.
-
If you apply 240 watts (amps? apologies, it's been a while since I could remember the SI unit here) to yourself twice, your chances of death might be high. In the UK, if I remember right, if the first two attempts are unsuccessful, you attempt 360. In any case, this is a plan suitable for desperate straits only.
-
Ironically, in a way, they're the place to be because your char is tied to the server. Having lots of chars on the go at once (five in my case) is actually quite an upside...
-
Did I dream one of the .5x or .6x patches where there seemed to be a constant lightning storm?
-
This has been extensively discussed in more than one other thread here... Personally, I'm more and more in favour of chars being locked to the server.

Assault rifles on official servers
Mookie (original) replied to halvars90's topic in General Discussion
I suspect the CLE is a bit broken about this. It is possible that stashed guns are contributing to non-spawns. Some clarity from the devs/mods here would be helpful please. -
Just for fun, but.... which accent do you "trust" the least?
Mookie (original) replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
On one of my rare ventures into vanilla last week, I helped a Russian guy out and he turned out to be a good 'un. The extremely dodgy Russian government is not the same as the Russian people. Also, just in case Red Ensign still lurks here, Canucks are usually good... -
Isn't that a song by the Fall?

Devs please, don't push the 1.05 stable during summer holidays
Mookie (original) replied to Liven_28's topic in General Discussion
OP is absolutely right. Arguing about who the "onus" is on ignores whether or not BI can make things better or worse for the people who play the game. Yes, I know, I know... -

Mookie (original) replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
I suggest the "trust the least" line is a little invidious, so I'll answer the OP's question this way. The only accent I tend to trust is German ones. I've never met a German player who wasn't chilled and friendly. -
Anti Ghosting/Server Hopping Measures
Mookie (original) replied to Shakis's topic in General Discussion
Every time I join a server (including the one I had been on before) I'm back on the coast. I'm not hopping. This needs a tweak. It's not possible to actually get anywhere on the map. -
Anti Ghosting/Server Hopping Measures
Mookie (original) replied to Shakis's topic in General Discussion
Well, that's a predictable, if thoughtless post I guess. I'm not a server hopper. My char is 100% geared. I wasn't aware that a survival game, however defined, required the player to stick to a single server; whether or not that server is actually working. Nor was I one of the "same people crying out loud" about anything. I do agree that a solution to hopping is a good idea - but this is not it. -
Anti Ghosting/Server Hopping Measures
Mookie (original) replied to Shakis's topic in General Discussion
The intention is a good one, but it's been badly done. Essentially, unless you want an instant beach holiday, you're stuck on a single server. Maybe that's what everyone wants, but it's a serious pain - and for me yet another of the growing reasons not to play vanilla. -
Wait, are there still such things as non-persistent servers? At least deliberately? Delving into history, there was a time when heli crashes didn't spawn on persistent servers, so insanonauts such as myself would deliberately seek them out. Might be a bit too esoteric for the younger crowd though...
-
.60 brought big improvements in this for me (because: optimisation?). Now, post-.63, it's always the same. For an hour or so everything runs smoothly. But after that hour it's a nightmare of stuttering. Unplayable for PVE (and I've died to infected many times because of it), let alone PVP. The only way I can solve it is to restart my puter. Never seen an explanation.

If you want an evenly balanced game, you must remove NV from it!
Mookie (original) replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
I take your points here (not that I really play vanilla much any more). But there is something deeper about the fundamental structure of the game going on (whereby people server hop, "official" servers cease to exist, etc). Beware of a kludge solution such that wearing NVGs illuminates everything in 100m in an eerie greenish glow.... -
Where are all the Official servers Gone?
Mookie (original) replied to Fyrd Judge's topic in General Discussion
I suspect people's stashes might be a factor here. I would pissed too tbh…. -
Where are all the Official servers Gone?
Mookie (original) replied to Fyrd Judge's topic in General Discussion
My hunch is that the owners simply haven't updated them to the patch. This happens a bit with modded servers - but because they have day to day oversight that problem is usually dealt with pretty quickly. This isn't BI's fault incidentally. "Official" servers may (?) have some agreements with BI, but the latter is not ultimately responsible for them. And there have been patches before where particular servers weren't updated for a long time. Some even vanished for months IIRC. -

Mookie (original) replied to Fyrd Judge's topic in General Discussion
Probably because the server renters haven't updated them yet. Settle down.
