Woodland Creature

I'm also one of those that's never seen a hacker in game and am also of the mind that most hacking reports arejust desyncing issues. But that video is pretty clear cut. The way he was moving around is just too obvious for anyone to claim desync there. Hopefully they will get hit in the next ban wave and they'll have wasted another $50-60 on the game and their lame ass hacks.

No, that would be another 3rd person game, as viewed by someone not in the scene being viewed.

Blue? doesn't that mean a star is about to go nova or something?

Haha!! Nice one. Ahh cassettes, that brings back some memories from my impatient youth.

Sometimes it can seem like the item you want is rare, but that's just sods law+DayZ's loot spawns trolling you. I found most of my morphine in the prison blocks, mostly in the cells. But I have come across a couple of injectors of both types in hospitals too so they do spawn there.

Oh dear, threads like this really do crack me up. They just have no clue how game development is done. I would post up a lenghty description of how and why things are done in the order they are done in but really, what would be the point? The OP is either a troll and wouldn't care or is a total idiot and wouldn't understand. Sorry if that sounded harsh but I call it like I see it.

Exactly, the game is what you make of it. a bit of imagination is all it takes to do something different.

This is a pretty neat idea, nice one. I would join in but I found a pristine LRS the other night and am looking for a Mosen to slap it on.

Ok, I get what you're saying with rapid changes in direction, like strafing left then immediately switching to strafe right. You do have a point although this never really bothered me much in video games. Maybe a brief pause could be added for when we switch from strafing left to strafing right (and vice versa) to allow for corrections in body momentum to be in line with Newtonian physics, or maybe make characters fall over or stumble and flail about a bit to catch their balance again before switching direction. However I would put this one in the 'Would be nice' column of Must have/Could use/Would be nice.

I had a sawn off shotgun on an older character and was hoping I'd get a chance to use it on another player, sadly alpha ate that character before I got the chance. I did have a lot of fun clearing out Zeleno, at range the sawn off performed exactly as I expected, which was pretty badly. But letting the zombies get closer and giving them both barrels was such fun. The first time I unloaded both barrels into a zombie, the recoil sent the barrel skywards and I just pissed myself laughing. Obviously this isn't a stealth weapon and sure enough I drew in every hungry zombie within earshot, but that was fine because I had like 5 or 6 speed loaders ready to go and a silly amount of ammo in reserve. A few minutes later and the south part of town was clear and I had a huge smile on my face.

I don't get this one at all, unless you have some form of disability where you can't cross your legs or can't rotate your hip for whatever reason then strafing at more than walking speed is totally do-able. Side stepping, where your trailing foot meets and stops before your leading foot, would be at walking speed due to your lack of momentum. But running in a sideways motion can easily be done at a jogging speed, although not for very long because of the way your ankle, knee and hip joints are connected, that and it would be easier to loose your balance the further you go.

Absolutely not. I don't like to be cheated so in turn I don't cheat anyone else.

I'm not sure, I mean yes he is using an admin feature for his own end, which is bad, but he's didn't kick anyone for killing him, at least not that you knew of when you wrote this. I probably would go choose a new server to play on though. as there's only a small step from this level of douchbaggery to restarting the server on his death, which is a dick move indeed.

Great devblog there, lots of cool features in it that I'm super exited about, Can't wait for hunting, campfires and cooking to be included. Great work guys :p

Oh nice map Kit the Great, I've been looking for a nice big terrain map for a while now.

Hehe good honest trolling in game, I love it. It's all about making your own entertainment after all :p

They were at over $30,000 when I watched their presentation video yesterday, which was over their goal, less than a day later all the backers left and it got shitcanned? This smells even fishier now than it did yesterday. I'm talking 'Billingsgate market' levels of fishyness, and I know I've seen than gameplay footage elsewhere before and it wasn't on a zombie kickstarter game.

Just under 100 hours of gameplay and I've never seen a hacker. While hacks for the game do exist I'm fairly sure that most hackusations are actually people just desyncing. My friend is always desyncing, I suspect mostly due to his shitty internet provider but also because the game has net code that isn't optimized yet. A lot of the time he's simply invisible to me or he'll appear to be running ahead of me then *poof* he's gone, a few seconds later he'll reappear behind me gliding along the ground. My friend also has pretty much the same gameplay time as I do and he's never seen a hacker either, he's also seen me disappearing and magically reappearing further down the road as well.

I'm pretty sure this is a scam or something, I watched the video am I'm nearly 100% certain I've seen the game footage they showed at the end on a demo for a Unity game that didn't feature zombies. Also that was the shittiest webcam footage I've seen in ages and it looked like they were reading from a script they've only just seen. I think my crappy smart phone could take a better video than that and it's 5 years old!

Found a brown one last night in one of the metal two story industrial buildings. It doesn't look as cheesy as I thought it would. Left it where it was as I prefer my green ballistic helmet.

Fear the zombies... Nah. Fear other players... Most of 'em for sure. Fear ladders.. Absolutely! Gravity is a bitch and she fucking hates you!.

I appreciate your situation Mr. OP, I'm sure a lot of us have had shitty ISP's in the past and a large number of us has inadvertently glitched into walls getting stuck in the process. But removing the log in timer will just bring back open season for loot hoovering server hoppers, which would make the game more difficult for everyone else in terms of finding the things needed to survive. So no, the timers should stay. Maybe some allowance could be made for rejoining a server you just left if you haven't visited another server in between but I've got no idea how do-able that is, but then this could be abused in much the same way that combat logging was. Say I see a group of players crossing the same field or open woodland area I'm in and I really don't want to run the risk of being spotted, I could just go prone, log out, wait at the server screen for a minute or two for them to pass then log back in and carry on. So you see, it's probably not as simple as just removing the timers to solve your problem as it just opens new problems elsewhere. You might just have to grin and bare it for the time being until lagging through walls is no longer an issue.

It was my understanding that there were two hives with separate characters for Regular mode and Hardcore mode but I've just tried a couple of hardcore servers and they all seem to be loading in the character from the regular hive. I was hoping to have a regular character test stuff out and get myself killed during the process, and a hardcore character for serious play. Is this not possible anymore? Was it ever possible or am I just missing something obvious?

Ahh I see, so I've just been unlucky and jumped on a couple of regular servers with 3PP disabled. I guess I'll just have to take the timer hits until I can finally spawn on the coast. Thanks.

With the exception of beards as some indication as to how long you've managed to survive, I'd say no to any rewards as surviving is it's own reward. That and fat purple epic loot.
