0.48 - things I've noticed so far

[Mookie (original) 799]

1. If you're trying to run two rifles, if you had the second in your hands you will still have it when you log back in, but it won't just be in your inventory, it will be in your hands. A fan of this as it means you can't run flat out with two guns.

 

2. New buildings and towns in the north west. Hmm. Confused the hell out of me for about 15 minutes. At least the bus station's still there :)

 

3. Crouched running seems bugged for me. Generates the noise of at least two people running and seems a bit laggy.

 

Now I'm off to look for heli crashes again...

Why can't you sprint with two rifles? Have they changed it so that you automatically put your weapons away when you run or do you mean you now can't pick up a second rifle in your hands?

[irl-calibre 744]

you run faster with nothing in your hands, when you had 2 weapons and spawned one wasn't in your hands but both were in your inventory, now you spawn in with one in your hands, ergo you can't sprint flat out unless you drop the weapon.

 

you don't seem to be able to retrieve crossbow bolts from trees (lost the only 2 I had testing this)

Ah ok, I got ya.

I thought he meant if you double tapped w to run you'd drop what was in your hands.

On a .48 related note, do you know if they have changed the hit boxes on zeds with regards to melee because that's what was putting me off .47. Was quite hard running as a lone wolf if you couldn't melee zombies. Don't mind them being hard (like when you had to aim at heads to quickly despatch them) just as long as my attacks actually register lol.

Cheers in advance guys.

I guess the Melee hit box issue must be a connection thing or something, because myself and no one in my clan has an issue with it, we all find it just as easy, too easy in fact. They should need multiple hits from any weapon IMO, even headshots.

True but lets wait till zombies are properly done and new melee system is fully implemented.

Would be bit crazy to significantly boost zombies as they are now, I think.

 

But yes, later I would expect zombies to survive several hits except for headshots.

Just from meleeing zombies last night I could not stop the zombie chain aggro respawn glitch...no moments of peace at all

[Kikez 4]

I was getting bored of being a lonewolf, especially since I mostly roam mostly the northern part of the map, but since .47 things got pretty interesting :)

[Mookie (original) 799]

Confirming that heli crashes are back. Just found one. M4 mags, M4 parts, but no M4 :(

That sucks if zeds are still insta-spawning. I know it's alpha but I really, really want to see zeds better implemented. I can't wait until zeds are actually part of the immersion factor of the game, and not a fake, arcade like game. That's why I hate Dead Rising, the zeds disappear so fast after you kill them that it feels like a cheap arcade game.

[GunnyITA 107]

what cordinates are the new towns exactly located?

[pilgrim* 3514]

Mookie: "Crouched running seems bugged for me."

 

yep, crouch-run you sound like a centipede

is a funny cartoon noise, you'll all want to run around squatting when you hear it

but it's not what was intended

[Mookie (original) 799]

Yeah, you know what I mean.. :)

 

Gunny - 021 042. I think there's one further round to the east as well. That whole area also just has more buildings (eg at the railway crossing).

I had reported this as a bug a while back, I'm glad they fixed it, because it's kinda an exploit!

anyone found the PM 73 RAK yet?

[Mookie (original) 799]

No, and not found an actual M4, despite looting many crash sites. Have more mags and attachments than I know what to do with.

 

Worried that, as per the rumoured Dean comment, the actual M4 is out of the game altogether...

[Big L 33]

Yep got me earlier too. I stupidly presumed it was just a phantom noise.

[Ben_uk 24]

I too have seen invisible zombies.

[aasand 92]

Are they invicible or just glitched under the map hitting up?

[Mookie (original) 799]

Confirming that the M4 is back in the game. :D

[Big L 33]

i don't know honestly, buddy...i assumed they were invisible...might have been under the map as well.

 I think there is somes beneath Novo in the last patch at least. I could hear them and my headset makes them sound like zeds under the ground. Considering how I sometimes fall under buildings I can see how zeds may do it.. And they do hit me from a floor down a least.

[krisfx 11]

I've noticed the zombies levitating along the ground when killed, it's funny but a little weird, also doing a dolphin dive while using "drink all" from a bottle of water. 

 

My hitboxes got trapped in a door last night, too. As in the zombies were hitting open space in the door entry and I was two floors up taking hits.

No! No-one has!
