philbottle 430 Posted March 3, 2014 Experimental hardcore server yesterday rained all flippin day. I was hiding under a tree at one point to avoid getting soaked. IRL my girlfriend was asking me to go to the shops for milk and when I said I had to wait for the rain to stop (in game) you should have seen her face :lol: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just making sure you know that :) P.S. I don't know if they removed the sound when you start/stop getting wet because I never heard it, it's controlled by the in-game music volume which I set to zero the first time I ever played. So anyone who is getting annoyed by that, just turn your music volume down. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't sure to be honest and I was too lazy to check, kind of liked pretending it was real and I might get a cold or something... Cheers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers!Well it's not a bad idea to get into the habit of avoiding rain, sounds like they will be adding effects soon (hypothermia, water-damaged gear), but it probably isn't worth putting off a trip to the shops just yet...

Gekkonidae 270 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) what ping sound dude? There was a temporary 'ping' sound when you would get wet from the rain. This was just a testing method placed into one of the experimental builds to help the devs determine that it was properly flagging players to get wet/dry during rain. I think I only played once when it was in. Just one of those dev test things. Not really a big deal and just one of those expected things in an alpha/experimental build imo.

Gekkonidae 270 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I have seen this mentioned. Apparently they're looking at making fireplaces work in houses as well which would be cool! They really should be. It makes sense to be able to start a fire from an abandoned house's fireplace. Although, I personally think they should make it so that smoke comes out of the chimneys (if they are there anyway), alerting others in the area that a fire is there. Not a ton of smoke, but enough to where if you were looking for it, you could likely tell the difference from a bit of a distance. At night, it's obvious they would emit light as well. Just my two cents :) Edited March 3, 2014 by Gekkonidae 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GanjaPalooza 35 Posted March 3, 2014 I have been enjoying this experimental build a lot at this point. Let's hope the team gets on the latency issues that were mentioned in the latest Devblog..... I cannot stand guessing where other survivor models really are and not where I am seeing them.... I wouldn't mind watching one actually climb up the staircase I was on top of instead of someone magically appearing in my face and swinging an axe. That Devblog got me excited for the upcoming patches!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuwe 66 Posted March 3, 2014 So I decided I was going to run around in the experimental this weekend and enjoy some of the new perks they are implementing, but I noticed that the server times were static, I played several hours over the course of the weekend and the one server in Dallas I noticed was locked at 10:40 for server time the entire weekend, and several others appeared to follow suit, no movement in time on the server browser. On top of that, the in game times did not reflect the server times, spawning on a server with a time of 9:45 and it is pitch black. Just wondering if anyone else encountered this over the weekend. I did not notice a bug report, and I want to see if anyone else noticed this or not before I go and start one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deewd22 32 Posted March 3, 2014 Maybe the server was not updatet in the list. But in general I love the new system. 2 hours day and 2 hours night I guess. Sad that most players hop from day to day server :(. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuwe 66 Posted March 3, 2014 Yes.. it is very sad indeed. I love playign at night, only wish I could find a headlamp... hate having to try to switch to my axe when a couple of Z's come at you from through a wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deewd22 32 Posted March 3, 2014 Try setting HDR on low or better and adjust gamma and contrast. Helps a lot to fight zombies. Even looting is possible. But for proper looting you need a lamp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indigitally 36 Posted March 3, 2014 Useful thing for INVENTORY, I think.Add a function: to change the sequence of things/weapons (up and down, 2 3 1 5 4x ...).Like in this picture (for example): 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-zEr0- 2 Posted March 3, 2014 really good Job on the nighttime. With all the lighting effets around several buildings it's a great atmosphere. I really prefer nighttime over daytime now. I'd be happy if they improved Performance especially in towns and villages. CPU is the bottleneck there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The-MCV- 149 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) ^ Yes, because IRL we roll our eyes up and observe the imaginary inventory interface of our current selves and it's by rule ordered from head to toe. It's actually a decent proposal, being able to reorganise the inventory, it's just an "OOC" tool (for those who are about with the immersion, roleplay and the like). An item will be in your pants regardless of the order of clothing items in a list. Edited March 3, 2014 by DontGoToBalotaAlone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philbottle 430 Posted March 3, 2014 Does anyone know if the experimental servers are down? I was playing today when the server (I assumed was restarting) went down. I logged out, came back and it was no longer in my history or favourites. I can no longer find any of the experimental servers. I've only just started playing on experimental so I'm still bit green :blush: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
