The Carnivore

It seems to have been moved to the road West of Myshinko that loops through the woods, though we'll see if that's still the case tomorrow.

I'd perfer a twilight to dark server, all December all the time. Let the environment be the worst enemy.

I read each and every status report as it comes out. I must have failed to see which status report said anything in reference to Private Shard operators being able to set the weather. Weyland Yutani, would you be so kind as to link just which Status Report you are referring to? Or did you mean the last report with the Server Hosting Rules? I'm not looking for a Yes or No Answer, just wondering if there'd been any discussion or interest other than my own in this. What I'd like to see is the ability to not just set the time of year for climate, but things such as rain and cloud cover, etc. I'd like to have a shard where I can make it always December, moderate to heavy rainfall during the nights, and none to moderate rainfall during the daylight hours. I don't recall seeing anything along those lines; thus the reason for the post.

Well here's hoping...I'd like a Zombie Winter Wonderland. And maybe someday snow to go with it. Port Namalsk for that matter. I know they won't, but fighting the weather made that map so much more interesting.

Has any mention been made as about weather on Private Shards? Specifically, will we be able to set the weather to our liking? I'd hope that we'd be able to at least set a season.

I love Gene Wilder, and that GIF never fails to make me smile.

Or let me use duct tape to attach a flashlight to a helmet, perhaps right on top. It would have to look ugly though.

I wouldn't mind seeing it on the West of Bay Tikhaya, Near the 'convience store' they have there.

I don't think you'll find a truly friendly server until white listed private shards are available.

Yes please. Magical floating guns on my back are not cool. They could let us use rope to make one, or find actual ones in barracks.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain it'll come in dead last. I understand quite well the difference between Private Shard and a private hive. I'm hoping that since they can give private shards then perhaps they can give a private shard it's on 'central loot system' just for that particular shard. I'm also hoping for a Dev response (I'm looking at you Dean Hall, Brian Hicks, or Eugen Harton). Give me a straight Answer and I'll take the ice bucket challenge even!

You don't happen to have a handy link to Rocket saying that <I typed hopefully>?

That would be the only way to do so, as you can see from the post just above yours. We are still (so far as they have announced) going to have to rent these servers from GSP's as we currently do. Perhaps the GSP's will drop the price of the Private Shards.

Thanks Skippy, but this doesn't answer my question. I don't want to be able to spawn items on my private shard, nor do I want to take items from my Private Shard to a Public server. Suppose however that item was limited to a total quantity of 100 across all Public servers via this Central Loot system. Now further suppose that on the day I activate my Private shard 100 of those items already existed on the Public Hive. I do not want, as a result, for that item NOT to spawn on my Private Shard server. This in no way is my asking to control loot spawns and such (as we so easily do in the mod). What I am expressing is my opinion that Private Shards should not be part of the Central Loot system, as they are not part of the Public portion of the Hive. Am I making sense? Or does anyone else get the idea of what I am trying to get across, but perhaps be able to better articulate it?

This makes sense. Beans to you, fresh of the shelf of Crazy Vladmir's Store of Wonderment in Western Zelenogorsk!
