Pending Update: Build 1.7.2

[srvrsyde 9]

Is anyone else getting the white circles showing the locations of zeds and animals' date=' that you can use to track them through buildings and terrain, often at great distances? Often times they are limited to the edges of my screen, but sometimes I see them quite plainly in the middle of the screen.

These white circles also become brighter when the animal or zed is in an alerted state, so it can be used as a spidey sense to let you know when you have aggro.

oh, also I just learned that these white circles can be used to track players as well. NO ES BUENO!

It's on recruit servers that do this.

uuh, i mostly play on veteran servers and the circles are present there. not in the middle of my screen, but they're on the sides and i use them to track zombies, animals and sometimes players (kind of, they're not very accurate)

Damn, that sucks. I hope nerfs don't become common place. I really liked that Z had a chance to fuck you up beyond repair on any encounter. Made it so you had to carry plenty of supplies, be more careful. Now wtf...meh...oh well...alpha. Hope you harden this shit up at some point. :P

i really hate that zombies can break your legs, but i still agree that things should be hardened up. hopefully Rocket takes advantage of the difficulty settings and makes hard really hard

Eh, well they still have a chance of fucking you up beyond repair, it will just happens a little less now. While yes, it adds a massive challenge to the, already challenging game, for me, that element (of zombies breaking you in half) wasn't a challenge as much as it was boredem.. Sometimes you just have to crawl around for HOURS until you give up or find a hospital. I can do that, anyone can crawl around for hours.. it's actually safer, it's just not fun. It's like buying something in a shop that's right infront of you, but instead you buy it online and have to wait a week to get the item. Yeah.. I took it to far..

If I had my druthers, Zeds wouldn't be able to fracture your bones at all and it would be a completely player-driven wound. I would also make gunshots do less immediate damage so you have messier, longer more drawn out firefights with plenty of crippling bone injuries. But thats only in my dream world where I am King.

This will kill my dream of being a morphine peddler.

Rocket- is it true we might be getting a new batch of guns? And what's the possibility of new skins in the future to spawn with? ( looking ahead )

I may not include any additional content' date=' depending on how much longer it takes me to fix some of the bugs that are there now.

Maybe, maybe not.

[staticofhf@gmail.com 1]

Zombies are still constantly respawning after being killed. Is that supposed to happen, or are you working on fixing it, Rocket?

Oh thank god! I hate running at full heath, getting a small scrape, and falling to the floor. This is a much needed fix.

Hey guys' date=' I'm working hard on the patch now. 95% of the focus is rewriting systems to make them much more efficient.

Every once in a while I still bump into a server where my frame rate chugs. It doesn't happen very often anymore, but I'm 100% all for improved efficiency. Thank you Rocket! You're the best!

Are random equipment losses addressable at all? Just connected to find my DMR (which was in my hands not my backpack) has vanished into thin air :(

That has happend to me as well.

I've begun writing down which servers are laggy for me and I'll put them here.

UK 26

UK 101

NOR 4

I've played on other UK and EU servers and they've been okay but those ones are consistantly low fps for me while on other servers I get my normal 50-30 fps.

Probably those servers get restarted seldomly. You "have to" reboot your server every 6-8 hours then its "99.9%" fine.

Bone break fix is a nice touch mate.

The best Veteran EU/UK servers by quite some distance are EU 4, UK 7 and UK 87. I would like to add UK 13 to the list of sometimes laggy servers.

I hope our primary weapon will not disappeare from our inventory on this patch, as it was at 1.7.1.4 ...

you realize at some points all of your gear will be reset.

mod is still in testing stage so dont be upset if we all get clean slates every now and again.

i wish more people realized what alpha might mean for their precious gear.

[speuz-boris 0]

yeah loosing your primary weapon would suck a bit (now I'm walking around with the M 107...) but since this could happen through glitch/death at ANY time, I'm ready for the patch :D

also the changes he made seem totally worth even a restart.

we all love you rocket xD

I hope the Wire Fencing Kits will be removed soon. All the barbed wires are seriously breaking gameplay. :P

lol just cos it's alpha doesn't mean it shouldn't be reported, otherwise how's it gonna get fixed? :)

no but they should add some kind of bolt cutter...or anyone who got a tool-box should be able to cut that wire fences off.

great fix on the leg damage.. yesterday i crawled for like 2 hours w/ no morphine.. i almost cried.

---

Wire fencing kits have become nothing but griefing items.. increase toolbox spawn or decrease wire spawn...

i went through elektro and cherno and literally 1 building was not barbed off.... might as well barb wire the whole coast in and no one can move off of it when they spawn.

if someone plants wire, he still has to get out, so there is a way to get in.

so it works for me anyways, no problem looting cherno/elektro.
