Excanto

I've found 3 packs of pumpkin seeds so far and I just passed by the 2 packs because 1 pack is all you need, harvest pumpkins and cut them up and you get lots of seeds. So far all three in sheds.

LOL I have an extra in case I meet someone that doesn't shoot me. I also have 10 pumpkin seeds and a bottle of water and a can of peaches that I always try to keep. It's horrid to pass up loot because I am hauling around some make friends gear :-P

I find it very odd when I read people saying they have 3 trucks and 8 tents and 19 rifles and 47 pistols and 100 cans of food and so on. Maybe there should be a 1 tent per account barrier that causes your tent to vanish if you pickup another tent and your truck to vanish if you get in another truck. Have that push across public servers, so hopping would be squashed. Coming across a camp 2 months ago with 9 tents and 3 fully kited m4's, Fourteen 60 rd m4 mags, every rifle, every pistol, every mag and tons of ammo, food,medical supplies, several full suits of military clothing? Twelve backpacks on the ground in a row full of every small item that spawns that is useful. I felt like I was looking at a hacker camp. I'm not sure of a good solution to the problem of people with a crap load of time vs people that have a small amount of time each night to play.

Dropped all of my clothes in the deer stand because I was overheating easily. My pants decided to drop through one of the slats of wood. Luckily I could reach them from the bottom Hey BCBasher, sup emuthreat :P What has everyone noticed is happening with loot respawning? I think we've figured out just about everything going on with persistence, but it seems like there are a lot less items than there were on persistence restart. Maybe the items are just respawning really slowly, or not at all. It would be nice to get some confirmation from a dev as to whether loot should be respawning or not. I got a few rifles out of deer stands when I refused to drop my rifle, by standing at the ladder facing out and dropping the rifle and it appears in midair a couple feet outside and when I get to the ground at the bottom of the ladder, I can still see it on ground search and I can grab it to my hands there.

Is that just in houses? I was soaked from rain and finally got to the point where I was really cold and so hand gathered some sticks and made a fireplace in the wild and lit it and stood there till I was dry and when I turned hot I backed up. Fireplace seemed perfectly normal.

Last I saw it was stick and rag. Word is that you can add fuel to it as well and make it burn longer, someone said something about a tree, maybe tree sap?

Well I'm on SW 01 and doing the normal run from beach inland and finding lots of gear, found a pile of ruined stuff and ducked into the bushes and snuck away, a couple bottles, shovel, pumpkin seeds, harvested pumpkins and filled up at a water pump. Damaged gloves, motorcycle helm, sunglasses, down jacket, cargo pants, wellies, press vest, trumpet, sporter and 100 rounds of .22 LR. Can opener, bandages, morphine, tire repair kit, several different types of ammo. Picking off the zombies from a distance and then slipping through towns and seeing zombies repop before I leave the town. Seems pretty laggy in big towns, people are saying it's fast, I don't see fast, seems the same as it has been for about 3 months when it comes to laggy graphics.

Last night my internet slowed way down and then finally crashed and was down for about 2 hours. I was playing when it happened and I was ice skating down a hill. I took one step forward and then slide slide slide slide I went , I spun around and tried to go back up and got a few steps and then I was ice skating up and sideways. It was terrible because I figured out in the open, unable to do anything, I was going to suddenly come back to control of my character and be either half eaten by zombies or full of kos holes. Luckily no one was in the area. Normally I have 15 MBS internet, but it fell down to 2MBS and was stopping and starting and then finally collapsed. The AKM with Kashtan scope is nice, you really need to aim low since the scope is set to 400m. I'm having lots of fun finding zombies and then running as far away as I can and still see them and take longer and longer shots. Who needs batteries, no range finder is good practice.

When I had the gun stuck in my hands or couldn't put something in my hands problem, I did what someone told me to do. F2 to raise my hands, like the give up animation and then did it one more time and then it cleared the problem. I haven't had any stuck anything problem for a week though, course I manually move everything and don't let anything autoswitch anything.

True story...

I LOVE the new update!! Wow it is fast and so many zombies and the tents work and I just found a ..a...oh sorry, practicing for tomorrow night. :-D

There has been an invisible zombie for a long time now. No one believes it exists, until they get hit by one. Next time I get one, I want to run it up some stairs and see if it isn't just stuck underground and maybe pull it out of the ground and up so I can pop him in the noggin. :-D

Ya sure that wasn't a rail for a MP5 ?

Back when the rail for the AK was for sure spawning, it was very rare. I recall going ape crazy in a military splosion, setup a tent a mile away with all my stuff and went back and hauled tons of stuff out of the barracks into a field and dumped it so I could see what was underneath all the gear. Back and forth I went. Stuff was respawning pretty fast, by the time I got back to the first barracks, it was mostly full again and after a couple hours of that I found a rail. Now since the current update that we are in now, there are lots of things I have not seen. The rail for the AK is one of the things I have not seen, but that doesn't mean it isn't currently in the game. Plus the fact that there are a ton of players that do not come here and report. FYI, I ran along the coast and found a place where there were several boats out in a marsh near where that island is offshore. Not the prison island. There were several nets there.

It's funny how movies and tv shows get stuff so wrong and then everyone thinks what they saw was real. The point where the bullet level's out and is no longer climbing and has yet to start falling is called "Point Blank Range" even though the media has tried to convince people it refers to shooting someone from a couple feet away. I really liked playing with the sporter and hunting scope, but I just hate trying to handle two rifles and dropping one every time I want to eat or drink etc. I still prefer the AKM/silencer/kashtan scope/75 rd drum because when things get hairy, I can hip fire spray my way out :-P Nice Illustration.

Tons of .45 rounds in the FNX mags at guard houses. I only carry the akm in my hands or back, keep that storage space full of rounds and nothing moves anywhere.

Today at work I saw this site was down and it hit me......The zombie apocalypse has started in the offices of the gaming company that made the zombie apocalypse game. I imagined the devs, sneaking around the halls trying to stay quiet and looking for that fire axe. Hitting up the cafeteria for that left over birthday cake and that old ham sandwich from togo's. Sneaking up to the roof to look around and ducking from neighboring rooftop snipers bullets. Then of course the site came back up and I figured either the zombies are much smarter then in our game and got the site back up or the site came back up. :-D

I know I should have played last night but the library called and said the season 1 of "The 100" was finally in so I could come get it. Hehehehe. I watched some "World War Z" before bed and realized how much I missed fighting hordes of zombies. They had really fast zombies and crawling zombies and ones that just started chomping their teeth as they heard a sound. It would be cool to find a zombie locked in a car or locked in a closet in a house, tied to a post, chained to a fence, caught under a car wreck, wriggling under a bus. :-O

Hmm that is odd. The first thing I did was switched the scope down to 100M and I got to about 100M from a zed and popped him in the eye. That was 4 days ago. I was doing terrible at 500M and I ran out of .22 so I ditched it and went back to my model 70.

Yes and several other items.

Well, that is one of my main hunts right now. At least I have the food and water to trek the map. Perhaps I will have to start shooting bushes, until one goes "Eeeaaahhaww" and falls over.

The best clue I have heard so far is that a couple of boats always have them. I was thinking about risking a swim to prison island and check those after a restart. Also there is that village way NE corner and it was a nice place last or before patch ago :-) There are several boats I have seen on the coast. Never seen any boats inland. It's been some time since I have seen a net. Actually last time I could find them, I had overheated terribly in a full ghillie suit with hat and gun cover which was a big pile of strips and nets to make. Not very stealth, swamp thing sitting in a pond.

Well I have been hanging out in a pretty big town and I roam from one end to the other and sniper all the zombies with my silenced AKM. I grab some more ammo, food and hit a water pump and then head back through and a bunch have respawned and I blast my way to the other side. I take a wide loop into the wilderness and check some hunting stands and then come back around to town and there are more zombies. I had one pop up on me in a small town after I had executed several from the hill top and looted the whole town and was about to light a fire.

From what people have said lately, cook it until it changes color once. Then they say it is safe to eat, although apparently it still says raw fish. Heresay, since I have yet to try fishing successfully.

Didn't you answer your own question here? I think the cards are dealt by the devs and we play what we are dealt. No food, we play forage, no animals, we try fishing, new zombies, we play smash dem zombies, tons of gear, we play pvp. Plus the flaregun glitch so many players are carrying lots of rifles and with lots of ammo and mags and clips, there is a lot of gun testing going on as well. People are complaining that pvp is screwy in a way that makes it hard to drop a player. Maybe they are testing pvp like you said.
