Zombie Milkman

I only do that when I wear my shirt with the giant target on the back. :D How about something.g half open like the sheds or grain sun shades?

My first challenge ended weakly with only a few people willing to sacrifice their kitted out uber-toons for some experimental play last time, seeing how many zeds they could get to aggro around with them. This time, I've got something a little more challenging.... How many zombies can you trap in a structure at the same time? Seriously, this is a big deal to me as it brings a whole new dynamic to the game. You don't want to shoot to cause more zombies, you don't want to drop that pristine 2nd rifle to get your axe because you know you are going to lose it, again... so you are screwed my friend. But wait, if you run into a building and it/they follow you, maybe you can run out fast enough and close the door. Maybe still they won't glitch through the door! Think of the fun you will have watching from that hilltop as other players approach that door (police station? Oooh, +5 points, hahaha) Today I trapped two in one building which really isn't all that big of a deal.... but what's the limit? With my 1st person server toon I intend to find out. Please add your story here, or join me in my quest and do this as well. My ground rules: No clothing or equipment bags except a brightly colored hat. That includes no shirt/pants. I am going with a red hat. No weapons. This is an all-in thing, or nothing at all. Extra credit: occasionally sing the "I am Heneree the eighth I am" song into your mic just in case someone is nearby watching with a very confused look on their face. Crazy? Stupid? Insane? UBETCHA, but it has to be done. The gauntlet is cast. Give me a number, and tell me what building. How good are you really?

Smersh backpack I find everywhere. Smersch vest... Nothing.

5 or 6 shots to kill a zed with a fire axe? Lol no. What you experienced was lag. Fire axe = one hit kill or you are experiencing lag and the zombie died 5 hits before his animated graphic catches up. Yes the dead zed might hit you, but that is a game bug, not a problem with an axe. Sometimes two hits. But never more.

I don' t know about that but I do know that the civilian airbase in the NE is jacked up. It was cool to walk through floors walks and doors like zombies but once. It would be funny to chase someone into there that does not know while making zombie noises. Btw is the nearby police station haunted? I heard some straaaaaange stuff there.

I cool down too much in Gorka. Raincoats don't help either. Do they have a warm winter cammo besides the bright white stuff? Hats warm you up quite a bit we found. What they should give you is a warm liner for the helmets like they have in real life.

My top 3 order of importance: 1) Backpack. It is extremely valuable to me to load up on drinks and food as I come across them in the early game. 2) Axe. I feel naked without one early. 3) Warm Jacket. The thermal issues especially when raining are an issue. Really, I have to label backpack as number 1 because I can even keep a change of jackets in there if necessary which helps in rainy conditions right off the bat. I also can keep enough soda/canned food until I find an opener of some type. Getting health to bright green is pretty important now. Just to continue, in the next 3 (4, 5, 6) I now place binoculars. Scouting towns before entering is vital for me on 10+ servers.

Can you one-shot a player with an axe? I know I can one shot with the baton. That is a solid plus in the baton's favor. However, I almost don't need an axe anymore. I trap zeds in buildings now. As long as I am not going crazy in a populated town this has become my preferred method of dealing with them. As I make my way through the town it also allows me some warning if someone sneaks in behind me as the zombies make noise when he comes near them and you can hear it. I do like the SB, BUT... Problem #1: Baton with fresh battery = 5 dead zombies. Aggro 6 zombies and UH OH! Problem #2: Baton = 2 slots. Each battery = 1 additional slot per battery. Axe = no slots. Problem #3: Sometimes I don't see batteries for a long time.

You say, "Would you like an after dinner mint? It is only wah-fer thin." Yeah I've got nothing.

Dude, sweet! Twelve is amazing and in the piano house no less. I am guessing you did multiple trips which had to be hard as the ones inside know you are coming. I have been using the big buildings but the big doors are easy for them to glitch through. I had one come up through the 2nd story floor in a firehouse. I want to trap zombies with you some time if you are into it. Shoot me a PM if so. This is like it's own little easter egg. One last question for the developers' benefit... Did you experience any lag when you had that many moving around and zeroed in on you? I had lag from 8 running around in a circle. Cue Benny Hill theme song.

So I trapped 6 zombies in the firehouse in the town south of Novo and I am waiting in the hills, watching, to see if someone opens that door up. xD 2 already escaped (I had 8) and I had to put them down for being bad zombies. I will probably get bored and log off, but trapping zombies in mass numbers is a lot of fun. And you can keep adding to the total though running around with that many every time you open that door... lol, easy to fubar. The other problem is that eventually one or two joggle their way out via glitching. I wonder how many I could get going> The server is a 1st person vet uban or something like that if you want to spring the trap. I half want to go back and see if they all stayed inside.

Yes I lose things to the floors. But yesterday I lost my sks to a low pine tree branch! Son of a

I did. The battery could have been dead already but I thought I grabbed my new spawn one which was 100% untouched. The stun baton though... I do like it but it is one of those "nice to have" vs "need to have things."

I think this sums it up nicely for SOME of them...

Why? If I had the time and desire to make a server I would, and that server would have the following conditions: All loot: LOW Weather: Brutal Zeds: BILLIONS So lets say that appeals to you, then join my server regularly. But what if it doesn't? What if you want an FPS with no zeds and lots of loot? Join a server that caters to that. Does that clarify my idea at all? We can all get what we want unless you want every single server to cater to only your play style. Not to be a rick, but that would be kinda selfish, no? And understand, I think my play style matches yours fairly closely. I love the survival element and the scrounging and all those lovely OCD elements because I have DayZ OCD xD. But I would never desire to force my version of happy on everyone else. This game can offer flexibility in play options between the hundred or so servers that are out there. They should do that so we all get what we like. Remember, the longevity of this game is dependent on market appeal. Keep the money pouring in by making a versatile piece of software. The versatility is a reason alone to buy it.

Did I say something wrong? Yes it is an opinion. Yes we all have different things we like. No I do not want to force my enjoyment on anyone. I want to see a plethora of servers catering to all the different play styles out there so we all win sooner or later. Can't do that until BI gives admins the right to do so, including the right to police their servers. Server 1: Survivor Mode. Low loot, harsh environment, too many zombies, white list to screen out the cheaters. Server 2: Casual Mode. Low military loot. Normal all other loot. Zombie count varied. etc. Server 3: Hardcore FPS server. Big military loot. Defensible positions. Low or no zed count. Etc. Server 4: Hackers and cheaters playground. No rules, no ban lists, no battle eye, anything goes. Be the best hackin cheatin KOSer in the universe. And so on.

The game itself needs to cater to everyone, and allow itself flexible servers to accommodate different groups. You can build a server strictly for casual short time players. You can build a server that caters to people here 24/7 who are hardcore killing nuts, CODers, role players, everyone really. There is no reason why we all can't get what we want, and thus end the bickering about, "Oh well that's YOUR opinion about how this game should be played" garbage arguments. I hope they design this game so the servers themselves offer variety for everyone. Bean-me if you agree.

The cattle prod is useless on zeds. 10 hits, nothing.... The stun baton is pretty good, but as I mentioned in several other threads, the batteries don't last long, you need to store batteries which are hard to find sometimes, and they have only 1 purpose whereas an axe is multi purpose and takes up zero backpack space. IDK, call me crazy, but the new melee weapons seem like a waste of time.

I have find exactly zero helo's. Bah humbug.

I have been developing my zombie trapping skills and would like to trap a bunch in a wood barn with closing doors, then torch it to remove the zeds. The same could be true for homes. We have matches kindling and piles of dry grass everywhere. It feels like a viable strategy.

You know those cases of explosives sitting there in the NEAF in the sand bag bunkers along the air base service road on the north side of the tent area? I do not think that is an accident. xD Waiting, patiently, to blow the living **** out of a bunch of KOS clansmen. Pew pew Come out with your hands up! We want to torture you and take all your stuff pew pew pew pew Hold on, you win, just give me a second... click click click click Hey, what's that sound? va-DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! Oh, did I break your concentration? xD

What I have found so far with loot spawn weapons & ammo. Guns AK101 - not so bad AKM - none yet xD SKS - Tons Makharov - All over, like cans of tuna almost 357 - ZERO P1 - more than before shotgun ("you mean a gun that fires shots? Oh you must be the brains of the operation") - normal spawn 1911 - ZERO Mozy - Of coursie! Common CRZ75 - occasionally Longhorn - None Ammo & Mags/Clips AK101 - Ammo LOTS...Mags NONE AKM - Ammo LESS THAN BEFORE...Mags PLENTY SKS - Normal distribution of ammo and ten pack loaders Makharov - Ammo & Clips LOTS 357 - Ammo & Speed Loaders LOTS P1 - Who cares xD shotgun - Ammo And Speed Clips LOTS 1911 - Ammo LOTS...Clips ZERO Mozy - Of coursie! Normal distribution CRZ75 Carbine - NONE NUN ZERO ZED NADDA ZILCH on ammo or the mythical speed loader WTF is this even in the game? Might as well call it a unicorn with horn mounted laser beam. Other Hack saw - not nearly enough Obviously we all experience different distribution of items across the million servers we play on, but that's what I have found so far in 1st and 3rd person servers.

No scope on a sawn off mozy. But I am confused about why you can't be stealthy with an ak. Kos peeps will kos even if you only have underwear and no weapons... Why go into this fight with one hand tied behind your back?

I got my ass chewed off trying to lock 3 up in a narrow house. So far the best homes for this are the ones with a table in a back room I can do ring around the rosie with, or the very large warehouses. Tonight I am heading to Elektro to do just that. I think I can get over ten in a warehouse. The problem is the different ways they move, different speeds. Keep trying! If you can put enough of them in houses in a small village you could unleash one hell of a trap on someone.

30 to 45 minutes for me. I thought someone was gaming the server-ware, but your thread now makes me think it is a 0.49 thing.
