Smoot lives.

That guy isn't likely to get into the server anyway. I hope someone actually in there streams to us. ;(

Isn't there usually a big ass reload icon or does that go away after a while if you somehow fail to see it the first few minutes?

Here's a live stream of a guy crying about being in Elektro after the swap to Cherno. http://www.twitch.tv/sm0ot4u#

Stream! Stream! Stream! Stream! Master Blaster! Wait.. bah, whatever.

I've noticed the frog hopping zombies eyes tend to glow at a distance. Might just be my settings but it's kind of creepy and could be the cause of the smaller dots.

Have fun being the scum of the game.

Sure is but I've always assumed the zombies in their current form are nothing but a placeholder beefed up to actually be dangerous.

Dude, this is how you kill zombies out in the open. Step one: Attract zombie Step two: While running, turn around and run backwards. Step three: Wait for stupid zombie to stop and swing at you. Step four: Take aim and shoot while zombie flails about. Repeat three and four for as many zombies as you need. It's easy enough.

Noobs getting taken advantage of? Sounds pretty realistic to me.

Proof of the divine!

The hills are overpowered. Nerf them asap.

It's going to be fun to watch. I hope you get in and get a good angle on the event.

Zombies that run straight at you in a very slow run are not a threat at all. Might as well ask to make them bigger so we don't have to aim at them. The zombies we see now are probably nothing like the zombies we'll see in beta or the stand alone.

I hope a bunch of hacking morons attack this well publicized event. The bannings will be godly.

I'm going to assume you were not a fresh spawn since you had cooked meat.. why didn't you have extra bandages though? It's good to always have at least two on you at all times. Full of what? Once I stopped picking up everything I found I ended up with plenty of space to add an extra primary to my pack. You also never need to carry 8 secondary mags, ever. A couple cans of soda or water bottles. A few cans of food until you find a knife/matches/hatchet. At least 2 bandages at all times. Ammo for your primary(or for both your primaries). You really don't need more than two mags each since you'll rarely need to shoot that much if ever. A couple morphine and a single bloodbag if you play with buddies. And maybe a few slots used for random stuff like glass bottles to throw at players to scare them. I stopped carrying tons of crap after I realized I was hurting noobs and only bringing gear and supplies to bandits in the north.

And the moral of the story: Kill the zombie before you log out.

I watched the video again. I swear OP looked at that building for a few seconds and then continued to loot. He then went out the back of the door and then ran around the store and to that building. I think he knew those guys were in there. At least one of them. He may have saw one run across the street or something before the video started. He went in there to kill whoever he saw. He had even lined up his sights on the player in the corner before realizing there was a second. He then made the rookie mistake of assuming the player closest to him was the most dangerous and then tried to aim at him. That's when he got lit up.

Everyone bring a can of food to donate.

Seems to me like definitive proof that First Person view causes all shoot on sight incidents. Had he stayed in third person and had he known how to use it, he would have known there were two guys in that building and could have ran away or called out friendly and still likely died. I also like the pause, He sees a player in the corner before realizing another one was closer. He then points his weapon at BOTH of them without saying anything (i didnt see a mic icon pop up on screen) and then got lit up. You surprised them and invaded their space. I would have put you down too. OP, you can't honestly blame the other players for that. You know that feeling that drove you to post this thread? They wanted to avoid that feeling too. How did you expect them to react when some random person runs up on them and starts pointing their fully auto assault rifle all over the place?

You lack imagination OP. You should have ordered them to drop their guns and then proceeded to rob them of their goodies. Then you could shoot them both in the leg just to make sure they didn't follow you.

Don't drink the kool-aid.

I have noticed lag and desync causes the zombies to spaz out and react to me at a larger distance or sometimes not at all. It's weird.

Crouched while stationary won't stop them from seeing you. Zombies are fine. Its nice to see them change once in a while even if it's just to make the game little more interesting.

The day night cycle is fine. I still think NVG and Thermal being a server option might encourage players to play at night more. Playing at night is a lot of fun but it comes at a huge cost.
