Are the crash sites not spawning on stable?

Like I've said before, I believe the lack of complex melee is a huge oversight. Melee should be a skill able to be developed by a character and should be dynamic enough to allow people a variety of actions such as, but not limited to: 1. Blocking a strike 2. Throwing objects as an attack (rock, can of beans, spear) 3. Takedowns/Trips/throws 4. Sensory disruption (loud yelling/poking the eyes) 5. Combination attacks (block and hold, joint locks, strike to groin, strike to face, take down, finishing stomp to the back of the head...) 6. etc etc etc

We played on multiple hi pop servers tonight, and they all restarted with "No message..." after being on a few minutes. \\DG Div Gaming server had hackers teleporting people tonight. It looks like the game is still inundated with software exploits. My friend kept getting teleported to Vybor, and there was a group of a few guys there. Turns out it was the DG clan doing it. He then re-spawned, after dying, there every time. Every respawn he was there and they were there running boxing matches. For some reason, everyone was spawning there and they were making people bare knuckle fight.... http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/216.244.78.242:2802/ The server admin is Electrobug85

Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

If there a calendar somewhere which we can publicly view the currently projected estimated times of completion/release for updates and other important events such as full database wipe? If not, is it possible that could be provided?

I've been trying to figure out how to turn persistence on on my server... let me know if you figure out more about this.

Cool, well articulated.. It takes a real man to be humble, yet confident. I also apologize, because I'm a dick sometimes too. :)

Can someone please close this thread?

Your theories are great, but I know what works for me, which I've taken the time to share with you. Take it or leave it.

Ok, fair enough. I want to point out how pointless and silly the OP is. I think its incredibly rude and a great overstepping of the bounds of acceptable criticism to infer that we should have influence on their business operations and employment circumstances.

LoL... but I don't give up. is there like a halfway topic for semi-annoyed rants? :)

I find this very funny, while totally silly and false. :) developing a game can't be easy... This game is a new frontier, so it will having growing pains.. The trouble is how to create realistic expectations... that's nearly impossible for an alpha release.

Wow, I was beginning to think that nobody was cable of articulating themselves. Thanks for clarifying the confusion. I didn't know that location had a history, but that makes sense. Some left over code? I see the semantics will continue to be argued by some... really all that matters to me is that its addressed. I don't care what you call it. :)

Such insight. Much purpose. Wow.

I believe the purpose was choice. You can choose to seclude yourself or you can chose to go toward others. Also, having adequate real estate is required to move around effectively. There needs to be multiple routes and options for players to travel. If there wasn't, there'd be much less complicated tactics.

You can call it a bluggery-duggery if you want, it still happened. I find it hysterical that the legitimacy of this experience is being questioned. There's not WAY the world isn't flat.

Hackers have been doing this a lot over the past 5 days, or so. They teleport everyone there, along with a bunch of clones. It's all pretty juvenile. Some of my friends lost their gear, I did not.

I dont' have the same experience with respawning zombies. Sometimes they respawn, other times they don't. The ax is far superior to staying off their zradar.

i don't like to lock myself inside a killbox, which is what you're doing. what you want to do is use an ax and stay outside behind cover. circle around the zombies and ax them in the head. once you're satisfied the horde is disposed of, go back to looting silently. There's one common mistake I make when I get taken by zombies, or at least torn up by them: I stay in one spot too long.

Can anyone chime in a tell us what is happening with the update?

But don't forget how easy it is to rant on some forums. Most of the time, its really just a coping mechanism. A way to vent. Maybe someone can throw up a place for people simply rant, then whoever wanted to read them could and those who don't aren't forced to.

Gameservers support responded, they said Dev team performing hive maintenance.

I currently cannot access my gameservers.com server. In the administrative menu, it says it wont stop or restart the server. The server is offline.

The whole thing is disgusting. *edit my ragequit*

I just threw up a server, 30 slots, currently Chicago, but will move to Seattle when available.
