Wait until at least beta? The game is not optimized yet and hardware doesn't really make a difference. My tower is 6+ years old, my vid card is a cheap knock off and I'm getting the same performance as you on mid-high settings at 3840X720.

I feel your pain, until it is get shut it off and get out every couple minutes in the mean time.

So can I hop back on my public character and drop my tent and start building a camp again? Was there just one wipe or is it server by server, is persistence working right now until next Wednesday at least?

The taloon and child's brief case ate the only bags that don't fit a civ tent right?

I UNDERSTAND, lol.

Yeah, those side scrolling pixilated games on early consoles were pretty hardcore, lol.

Wouldn't be the first time the console peasants ruin a good thing. At least I'm not paying a sub for months just to get fucked for the benefit of those goldfish.

They said they're going to get the GSPs to do a persistence reset not specifically that it'll stay off. Some clarification would be nice because that could be taken either way apparently.

Lost my pre .55 suppressed cz75, 5 mag and 80rds and a pristine protective case because of that. I feel your pain.

The devil or god is in the details depending on which version of the expression you'r used to. If you noticed it the devs are aware but with the module swapping they're doing with the engine it's obliviously not a priority or will be easy to fix when they're ready. When the cracking a soda can sound means something it'll be a useful "sense" but until then I click. I UNDERSTAND

And learn the farming now and hunting/fishing cooking mechanics when they get them working again.

Or get the ip and check it on gametracker.com and it'll give you location and some population graphs and whatnot.

I think you're right but the "majority" thinks there should be a good gun and plenty of food in the first 15 minutes so they can peeveepee. *edit* Nice tie btw.

The stream thing, they have kind of missed the mark on that. I used to take my youngest son out behind town up the logging roads in the evening when he was 4 or so and he'd say he was thirsty why can't he drink out of the puddles or ponds and drainage ditches. I explained that the still water grows algae and bacteria, follow the water up hill and find the spring it comes from and that water is good. There should be some moving natural water that is safe if you're not stupid.

The berry bushes and apple trees are random number generator based. I had an apple tree that was giving 4:5 consistently but that's not the norm. I have camps on my home servers 20 and 40 minutes jog from most spawns and have not died once from starvation, been close but not died. If a bush or tree is giving me shit 5 or so in a row I go to the next one and it gets better or go to the next.

Loot is everywhere and random like it should be, maybe not perfect but getting closer to the way an apocalypse should be especially considering we're the last to survive. Sure some servers are, were completely broken but people are complaining about all of them because it's not a 15 minute process to get to killing other players. How often do you find only one apple tree? Try the one beside it. Took offence to the wage slave thing? Sorry I'm a technician with a fuck ton of real world experience, I choose my hours around my broken body and want a huge time sink game to distract me from pain and stress my job gives me. There's plenty of other games if you don't want to spend a few hours just getting yourself healthy enough to actually play.

I had 7-8 chasing me last night while bleeding and lost them no problem just on pure distance running through the open. I had awesome luck with #5 the other night, unarmed in three runs I led every one in a town out into a field and left them there to go back and loot the town.

Us hardcore players who like this direction should just figure it out that casual cake spoon fed to us is where it's at. We're wrong, the cod kids, lazy entitled casuals, wage slaves with limited free time, what have you are right. No one wants a hard game and we should just shut up.

I know 2 middle aged women who did the lift the car thing granted only one corner to get on of their husbands out. I personally have been beaten over the head with a 14" cresent wrench among other weapons in a an attack by 20 plus people and on pure adrenaline fought my way out and escaped having no recollection of how I got there or where half my blood went. I regained conscious 10 blocks away at home in bed, my ex wife said I came in and answered her "what happened?" with "I'm fine, my head hurts and I need a nap". Some but not all the superhuman "zombie" strength based on adrenaline is somewhat believable to me.

In my tents and stashed bags.

Remember the graphics in this game are not optimized yet, allot of stuff is cpu bound that normally wouldn't in a finished game.

I could be wrong but I think that's what the WOBO video I watched when I was first trying to understand statuses said. Thing may have changed since then too, I just always try and stay with 2-3 bright green statuses either way.

Dark green hydrated, bright green energized, full blood, I believe.

Blood regen was slowed but it's still not that bad in my opinion. I went on a 3 hour "mission" to the wrecked convoy up north and took a beating just before from one of the "hoards". I couldn't kill them all so I had to run bleeding quite a ways to loose the 7-8 zombies I had in tow getting down to grey an fuzzy vision. I patched up finished my plan and cautiously chose my route back. and was at full health by the time I returned to camp. I'd guess 1.5-2 hours from near unconscious back to full full health.

It's a shitty thing to do unless they're the ones who run at you trying to one punch their way from bambi to geared. I had that happen once and the fucker was so quick and squirly, I'm sure it wasn't his first time. I missed 5 times with my mp133 and ended up having to back pedal straight back and take a punch to hit him with my Makerov. I would have given him a jacket and some food, even started a farm for him but he just started circle strafing me like a zed. I think that's a really uncool play style and makes it hard on everyone else starting out.
