Yes... the quickbar doesn't pull a weapon unless your hands are empty. Also, if you're swinging it faster, it's going to hit harder. Force = Mass * Speed

Never claimed to be a "samurai", but I have trained in martial arts (both armed and unarmed) for over 30 years. In fact, I used to teach other people how to fight with sword, spear, staff, knife (and yes) axe, as well as various other weapon arts. Before succumbing to crippling arthritis, I am quite certain I could easily swing a splitting axe three times per second, accurately and with enough force to split a skull, if not four times. That's why I went for the 2-3 times instead of 3-4. I would assume that one of these survivors is, at least, "proficient" at skills needed to survive a zombie apocalypse. I'm not looking for expert, or even master, level martial arts ability, but certainly that of someone adept at killing zombies.

Guess I spoke too soon... just played a bit more and found the combo possibility. Took some toying around with, but I started to get the hang of it. Just one problem now though. For some reason, the character flings himself around wildly while swinging. I prefer to be in control of my own movement. Fighting is NOT that difficult in real life, why would they make the camera and the character move around so much. It's a convoluted system for such a simplistic action. Also, for some reason, I can't pull out my axe when I have something in my hands. It was an easy obstacle in the previous build. Just drop what you've got in your hands. The 'G' key no longer has that effect. Have to hit 'Tab', click, drag, 'Tab' again, hold right click, then swing. Pfft. Just died because of it. That and because a zombie phased through a wall. I shut myself in shed just so I could safely drop something from my hands so I could engage said zombie. I know experimental always has some kinks, but this just seems like a giant leap backwards.

I have found that tents disappear after 8 days when you have more than three tents in a given area. If you want to keep bases with more than this, you will need to re-pitch each tent (and possibly re-place each barrel as well) every week. I just keep a car tent full of civilian tents for this particular task. Every week, place a few civilian tents, move the gear from your military/car tents into the aforementioned tents, re-pitch the tent, then move the gear back. You will need to do this for each tent you want to keep in your camp. If this seems like too much work, you can just keep several smaller camps scattered around the map with only 3 military tents each for maximum storage. It CAN become quite a chore with larger bases. I had a base on a private PVE server with 80+ tents and 20+ barrels, all full of gear. "Shifting" this base every week would take a good 2 days worth of play time. I recommend keeping it small unless you have help. -NNG aka [RED]Nacho
