latest patch observations

[Elle 562]

I don't believe the respawned (previously shot zombie) has automatic aggro. I played around at the NWAF with zombies for some time and never got aggroed after they respawned. It was only when I showed myself that they aggroed. If you shoot all the zeds, go hide... no aggro.

could very well be however I did pop one with the mosin at around 500 meters day before yesterday while concealed (I was crouched in an evergreen) and I watched its replacement spawn, turn my way and come runnin, I shot it too but never saw its replacement. didn't attract any others though.

I just wanted to say I did find a Hunter 22 in a green residential building in electro. Didn't find any ammo though.

i knew it was gonna be residential!

i found the .22 10 and 30 round magazines at the airfield, so policestation/jail/barracks for those.

there is the standard 10 round "revolver style" magazine and the 30 round banana magazine. very authentic as a 10/22 owner.

 

any confirmation on attachments for the sporter 22?

the CR75 9mil will take the pistol supressor, amphiba s and 1911 take nothing

in my open airfield testing session yesterday, some zeds were aggroed to me on spawn.

others saw/heard me and turned around after spawning.

hard to tell, but like it was said, probably the one you replace has the same "status" so if they are killed aggroed they respawn agrroed

If we get umbrellas, I'm so jumping off the highest tower with one in hand. I'll totally land safely ...right?

[amiasfree 262]

Zombies should spawn dunamically and not just when you fire a gun. Gunshots should attract nearby zeds, not create them.

I disagree. Zombies should spawn out of sight. The more noise you make, more should come running from the forests, fields etc if there are no players to see them spawn. It just seems natural that loud gun shots that can be heard forever away should draw more and more, even if you *think* you cleared out a town.

So I predict this thread has a 90% chance of severe shit storms.. coming in from the South.

"When the old shit barometer rises, and you'll feel it too. Your ears will implode from the shit pressure. You were warned, Bubs, but you picked the wrong side. Beware, my friend: shit winds are a-comin'." - Jim Lahey

------------------------

Anywho, the zombie re spawn is kind of broken. My friend was fighting a couple off with a fireaxe and I watched 3 more of them spawn around him. But I like that they are more of a threat.

i'd like a hand animation where you check the wind by holding up a finger, or blades of grass being thrown.

to tell which way the storm is coming, and for ghetto windage check!

 

dynamic storms! how awesome would that be?

dev tracker drop that english right about now!

 

the winds of shit for anyone who doesn't know:

Well pitchfork was not weak when I did my zombie beating with it. Better than baseball bat.

I don't think evergreen's really stop the visual cone of the hardcore zombies or buildings even. I've had hardcore zombies pull full on 180s at over 100m, start "bro'ing" and come running.

- where is the thunder and lightning? did it get removed?    Saw Lightning and heard thunder last night, lots of thunder

- gotten soaking wet after 60 seconds of standing in the rain, fully clothed. I am so wet i could drown a toddler in my underwear

- helmets and vests never seem to get dry, boots and gloves never get wet

- haven't noticed any sickness/infection yet

- rain hasn't damaged my clothes (yet)

- zombies now cause bleed EVERY hit (hardcore)  About 50% for me so far, have been knocked down once.

- zombies cause bleed, but don't damage my gear No damaged gear

- the UN helmet is kinda cool. I don't wear helmets

- the CR75 9mm is a cool gun, glad i can add the supressor to it, but can't find a magazine Still looking for a mag

- the .22 amphibia s is worthless except for a quiet zed headshotter Headshots is where it is at, like the Mak

- the 1911 dissapointed me, it is weaker than the fnx45, but same caliber

- can't find a hunter 22/ only in residential weapon spawns Found one in the cop shop

- cooking items like frying pans and pots have inventory space, but don't work yet

- farming melee weapons are a nice touch, but weak weak weak Used pitchfork for two zeds, threw it away and went back to fireaxe

- never realised that people wanted to spray paint everything, but ok, fine i'll spray paint it

- have not seen the moon, once. stopping gamma exploit by removing moonlight? Saw moon last night, was very dull

Thunder and lighting were active right after the new patch was introduced- now haven't seen any from then.

 

Also FYI :

 

i put down an M4 on rock surface and it DISAPPEARED - my guess is it went to the bottom of the rock formation = LOST !@!

lost an all PRISTINE 60mag/Suppressor/MP Butstock/ M68 scope that way !!!!!

Sky was quite black indeed, dark gray. Thunder lasted quite long and it was still going on until I left. No bugginess but encountered lag.

Second Patch on Exp. Server Today with 1,5 MB was implemented. Nice!

[chekovp 89]

Why would rain damage clothing?

[Magicks 17]

Lets see, so far things that i've noticed besides everything you stated.

 

Police stations seem to spawn too many guns, i opened a room (server was just restarted) and found a mosin on the desk and then an sks on the shelf next to it, i mean i know its a police station and in real life they have a lot of guns but still. 

 

I was climbing up a ladder of a firestation in elektro and my leg became fractured and my pants completely ruined. I'm 99% positive i was not shot, nor attacked by zombies (did not hear any sounds at all). Also only 1 other person on server, and when i got to the top of the ladder i stopped and stood there for at least a full minute not moving to figure out if it was a sniper, so unless he only had one bullet, but i doubt it. Also no zombies around at all. So there might be a glitch with that ladder.

 

Also i seem to lag around cities a lot more then previous patch, i had a group of zeds following me in a city and was lagging so hard that they kept catching up to me, afraid theyd eventually hit me i jumped into the ocean from a dock. Which brings up something else i noticed. Apparently the water does not act like water in real life as i jumped into at least 6 ft.deep water and the elevation above the water was only about 2 feet, yet i fell directly to the bottom hard enough to go from pristine pants, energerized,healthy,hydrated, to DEAD.  Think that needs to be fixed.
