If you manage to whack another survivor perfectly in the head with a tin can it deafens them as if a grenade exploded on top of them, and gives shock status.

The only place in the map that's a deathmatch with zombies is the bean coast stretching from Komorovo to Elektro. When people kill each other outside of those areas it is for resources or area control; which perfectly suits the tone of the mod.

Actually, HDR makes a much bigger difference than gamma or brightness. If you turn HDR to very high light reflects off more surfaces, making it much easier for you to see.

Confirmed, I've experienced this as well. Last night I saw it in effect several times. The bodies didn't last long enough to loot in some cases.

Happened to me last night. I had a rash of horrible desync I was unaware of. Climbed a deer tower. Suddenly many zombies are in the deer tower with me. Somehow they knock me through the solid part of the tower. I break my legs, go unconscious, begin bleeding, and die on the ground. Come back and the fly noise, but my body is gone. The whole time I was traversing back the area was guarded by friends to insure it wasn't looted. It just vanished. This was on US Hardcore 3. I also killed another survivor (who had been shooting at me) on a hill and his body remained standing for 2 minutes (dead) with the fly noise and dead textures. It disappeared shortly after.

Thanks for the mid-day (to me) entertainment. Helps pass the work time nicely.

You should be able to choose which of the available locations you spawn at, because everyone does anyways. Probably part of the reason the hive is always overloaded.

Because it gives me a taste of what I've been unsuccessfully seeking in other FPS games and MMO's over the years. The alpha stage bugs can be really aggravating sometimes, but I'm very happy we get to play it now instead of later. Keep rocking rocket. Anyone else just had their entertainment bar raised to 11? Do you find the games that filled your leisure time just a month or two boring and lackluster?

Knock yourself out. You can declare yourself the king of beans and dominate the coast near Cherno.

I joined something awful to read funny threads about people shitting their pants at work and building home made flamethrowers. I really don't give a shit what other goons do, and I am not responsible for it, regardless of whatever glorious bushido edict you feel "organizations" should follow. You are judging though, you're just using flowery language and refraining from outright declaring us the fourth reich like some of the other people in this thread have come close to doing. Your arguments are flawed. If you work for a shitty corporation like Enron, and beyond being an employee you legally change your name to ENRON-Bob, you are condoning their behavior. If you shop at Walmart because it's cheap, but dislike some of their practices, well, you're the average consumer. However, rename yourself WALMART-Jane and yes, you are embracing those shady practices. There is a difference between visiting something awful and declaring you are a part of it. Taking on a name linked to bad behavior has meaning, just like being in a guild in an MMO has meaning. You go with this group, you like this group, you are PART of that group.

If you voluntarily associate yourself through name tagging with people that openly post about cheating and exploiting you are condoning the behavior. It's not rocket surgery.

Second TeaLeaf, you should be louder than the music, since most people will be listening at low volume while in game. Enjoying the show, it's keeping me entertained while I am stuck working.

5-6 days of playing several hours each night + 2 weekend marathon days. I always duo with my wife and sometimes have extra friends along. Usually our deaths are due to glitches or well managed ambushes. We're pretty cautious, but all it takes is walking up one camped stairwell, or having someone log in directly behind you; to end your character's current life. Been trying to establish a base camp and get some vehicals running but that will have to wait until tents aren't so broken.

It would depend on if he was talking, and where I was. If I was near a military encampment or airfield I'd gun him down. If I was in a dinky town I'd offer him the chance to leave and live. If he was quiet and didn't respond within 10 seconds to a side channel query, I would gun him down.

I had a tent today but finally threw it away in frustration after trying to place it in about 100 difference flat crapless locations and getting, "You haveto place this in a flat crapless location" messages regardless.

If you want to play at night crank HDR to highest and set your gamma and brightness to max (in game). You'll see just fine, it'll just be in black and white. HDR makes a way bigger difference than the gamma settings because it refracts the light off way more surfaces. I used to hate the night time, now I love it. Way easier to sneak past zombies and far less competition for good loot.

I play in the evenings 6PM-whenever I hit the hay. Now that Hardcore 3 and 4 are up I'm making 4 my home. I'd be up for helping. Will PM my contact info.

He probably had no shock. I can confirm this happened to me every time I logged back in last night. I was never in shock, or even engaged in any type of combat. I logged out 4 times. Twice to take an after hours business call (10 mins), once to eat (30 mins), and once to just take a break (20 mins). Where: Elektro Firehouse, Elektro Hospital roof, treeline NE of Balota airfield, Elektro church Server: US Hardcore 4

I realize this game is going for ultra-realism, but during the week I can only really play after 9pm; and of course get the best ping to geographically close servers. Any odds that this will ever go for a compressed day/night cycle? Maybe x6 speed (4 hour days) or something? I'd love everyone to have to experience how crazy hard night is, but more than that I'd like to be able to have some daytime play with a <100 ping during the weekdays. Regards, Marou

Happened to me twice today. Not the normal unconscious either, the type of unconscious that lasts a really long time. Both times I was at 12k blood and uninjured.

Is this server down? Can't seem to find it on my list, and hardcore 1 and 2 have my favorite ruleset (No crosshairs, no third person, expert, etc). Any other servers would there that use that ruleset?
