It will all remain secret until the day of the event (except to those who are part of it) It will be on the Regular hive We fully expect there to be some infiltrations and bandit attacks, but we will be keeping it all a secret until the main day and wont be announcing the server publicly We wont kill you, we will ask you to leave if you don't like the rules and wont be permitted to enter the safe zone But drawing your gun on someone on any situation is pretty much a death penalty and groups whose reputation precedes them (CQF) are granted additional rights. Just like real life, those who have proven themselves get rewarded I wouldn't let a begger into my house, but if hes been hanging around the street a few days asking for money I might make him a cup of tea And someone has to lay down the law, if we let everyone run around with their guns out its going to get messy real fast

Your probably rightHowever I would just like to put out there we have been training for this type of event and out of the 4-5 times of locking down a city with 8+ guys it's been mostly positive (except one time we had to bug out) So hopefully should go pretty well and I feel we are at a stage where we can get the community involved now

Way to long to make a point on zombies There is supposed to be a stamina system at some point so I'm assuming you won't be able to outrun the zombies forever Running into a horde in the woods would be great, especially if you can't outrun them and know you'll have to fight

Opposed to what?Spawn killing and killing of geared players is happening in nearly every encounter If they KOS they are going to do it anyway Right now what's the difference to a KOSer? Kill a player to ruin all the time he spent collecting gear? Or ruin a player that's survived a long time? It's not like they are going to be able to tell just by looking at someone how long he's been alive or if he's healthy so nothing will change in thier mind, if they wanna KOS they will do it anyway

I actually think this is a good idea It's something I would never have thought of It would also add to the basic starting survival knowing that a couple of hits from a zombie might kill you, so that other newspawn with an axe is looking like a damn fine ally at this point This will also reward the veteran players as they will be at full health once they finnaly make it to healthy Ect However it would have to take a specific time limit for get healthy Ect so that even if you have friends supplying you after death you won't be able to spam food and water consumption because it will make you sick Maybe something like your health or whatever recovers only a small amount when healthy then stops until the next time your healthly so you can't regain it all in one session

instead of blaming the world for your problems look at yourself You let a guy with a axe get too close, that was one guy I've had 7 player encounters on my current life and only 1 was hostile, 2 were fully geared players and 1 if them actually came over to me and a friend and told us he was friendly and just wanted to pass through without any trouble If it keeps going wrong your doing something wrong, not everyone else I survive just as long as a friendly because I always have someone watching my back when I talk to people and the moment they aim their weapon at me or get too close when told to back away with a melee weapon j have a friend ready to snipe or shoot them

Because friendly people need to defend themselves so of course they need a gun It's stupid to think because they have a gun out they are not friendly, they are just being careful

As night fell me and another regulator headed into zelenogorsk as we ran out of food after finding all the other towns looted and checked the barracks We noticed a gun with a load of ammo laying in the road This was a full populated night sever on experimental We watched for a while as I checked ever possible ambush route but no one was around My teammate grabbed the gun but this was just the beginning of some strange findings As we looted the city we found all doors open and looted except a few Inside those doors, this happened http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2g258ewiEis As we left I turned around and saw a man standing in the street watching us leave but he disappeared into the dark before I could start recording again The fact that there was no food anywhere else on the server, these were deliberate drops but to what purpose? Didn't have enough space or some unarmed hero leaving supplies for lonely travellers on the road?

That made me lolIt takes less than 30mins to run straight to NWAF 10-15 to go from the berezino spawn to elektro Maybe you get the point I'm trying to make Maybe you wont

You think your having trouble There were 4 of us last night and we have to share out the food as we find it, most places are looted yes but the west side of the map is a gold mine at the moment on experimental

To the guy with the Russian accent that crept up on us in the middle of nowhere and was armed You have some balls approaching 2 well armed guys just to say hi and that your friendly We wished you luck as you didn't want anything

Well I can say I've met more friendly people on te experimental since the zombies respawned First was a guy in elektro with a shovel, he was looking for an axe so I showed him where one was Second guy was in the middle of no where and was on a hill looking around I went up to him and asked what he was doing and he said he was lost so I pointed him to the coast where he was meeting his friend Have him some food and he said his friend had found a mosin in berezino and left it behind the shipping containers by the docks as a thanks, I had a blaze so went that way and found it there Next I was in a town fighting zombies with my axe when I spotted a guy come around a corner and then quickly run back around as though he was surprised to see me I then noticed him aiming at me but he didn't fire as there was 4-5 zeds that had respawned around us, I pretended not to see him and left immdietely, he watched me leave and then I saw him turn around and leave as I was gaining some distance from him Next me and a friend ran into two guys, one had an M4 the other a double barrel We rounded a corner at the same time and the shogun guy took out my legs, we fired back and they got swarmed and they had to retreat which gave me time to use a splint on my legs We went after them and I found the M4 guy axing about 5 zombies frantically so I shot him while he was distracted The shotgun guy couldn't reload and neither could I, so we spent the next 5 mins runnit around while we were all bleeding until he died from zombies The last guy we got taken by surprise and heard a guy with a strong Russian accent saying he was behind us He didn't want anything we offered, just said he was friendly and was looting here and didn't want to surprise us and that he just wanted to find some stuff in peace, he was geared and had a gun on his back, to which I offered him ammo but he said he had 124 rounds It seems to me that people are being more cautious now that zombies respawn

Even in their current state with all the bugs zombies are easy to deal with I've only had trouble hitting zombies in certain buildings with melee weapons due to those buildings being bugged which is a known issue which causes you to hit an invisible wall If the weapon isn't hitting an invisible barrier in certain buildings then your just missing them

Yeah it was a bit of a silly move combining the new patch notes with the experiential post and renaming it, why not create new topic? All it does is confuse people so they don't know what is going on

Could have just said "LOG OUT NOW" Its worked loads of times for me when people have spawned in near me, theres no way they could drawn their weapon and kill you before you kill them if they log out like this and logging back in is going to take a while with the timers now

Yeah I've tried it as well, beyond 500m you practically have to shout to be heard above the static But works clearly at 500m or less

Also if you sprint to the stairs and press v to vault you can clear a good distance of those stairs and probably could have escaped But yeah, always have your weapon out at least in a city or town Someone could be stalking you at any point and you may not have time to draw your weapon, as you found out

I have mostly similar encounters My policy is usually no one joins my group, but we help you if you need it Only exceptions are really new players who we observe from a distance and if they really have no clue what they are doing we may mentor them for a short time Also heroes are welcome to join us, if we witness something epic like a guy saving someone from bandits and then they go their own ways (so we know they are not just friends) we would ask him to join us Sadly I've only seen one hero like this and couldn't catch up to him before I lost him in the woods He killed 2 bandits that were attacking new spawns and he let the new spawn take the bandits gear and went their own ways after that

That's only because most players by then only wanted pvp and all the people who bought it for a zombie game had left and stopped playing by that point

If players were to be able to die from a one hit kill it would be fun, but only if it were possible (but very difficult ) to find a cure

Not happened to me in months Are you sure your not combat logging?

I met a guy who wanted me to kill him as He also had broken legs from a suicide attempt I proceeded to beat him to death with a baseball bat like he asked I came back that way later to find him crawling around Turned out I only knocked him out

Yeah most people we have encountered have been hostile but it's encounters with friendlies that make is keep coming back for more Most of the time the friendlies have been short and sweet encounters with each of us going our own ways without them coming flack to shoot us Here's a few of mine I got on record http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ttBWdguoFBI

Good for you, getting one up on the bandits Theres a reason they go after players less geared, it makes them feel powerful because these kind of players usually cant or wont engage players with guns However, you showed him that he wasn't a match for a guy with only a baseball bat, you played it smart and waited for a time to strike Good job If you ever want to join us I have a post In clan recruitment, we hunt bandits and assist friendly survivors and are always looking to add to our ranks or just have people tag along if they want to play with a group PS: Now that you have good gear, be very careful around others and don't turn your back and even when they act friendly be prepared to defend yourself as they might rush you at any moment And good luck :)

So you like picking on people less able or fortunate than you Says a lot about the kind of person you are
