Do people use in game chat also or only mumble, because the mumble channel has a lot of talking on it.

Mumble.

In game chat is mostly used for taunting since it's basically local talk.

In-game chat is proximity voice only, so mumble is required for any sort of real coordination

In game chat has a very nice, immersive feel to it. Along with broadcasting your presence to anyone within a half mile, you also can tell exactly where your friendly goon-mate might be at any given moment.

Not to mention you'd really gently caress up the paranoid gate keepers of GoonFort.

Ok so is someone able to tell me which server is best to be on and where the bases are ? Send A pm if you want. I figure I'll just go collect scrap metal and fertilizer and dump it in a pile. I am not good at crafting buildings yet.

eve goons are kind of like someone who is putting a poop into their mouths with a very wry grin on their face while someone nearby is extremely distressed by this, and keeps on screaming louder and louder for them to stop, and crying, and threatening to kill them selves, but the poop keeps on going in to the mouth, and doesnt stop

the poop is open world permadeath zombie games

I bit the bullet, sold a heap of lovely CS:GO skins so it didn't cost me real money incase it was a crap game.

Can report that even though I am AU TZ I had a blast solo - maybe tomorrow I'll join in with some other goons. No idea on where to find which servers we are on though? Just randomly drop into a mumble channel I guess?

Here's the link to how to get the free skins as well as the mumble info.

Cheers, when I got on no one was around - must have been that dead zone of Aussie TZ and US waking up.

My code didn't work either. Oh well.

As someone who played DayZ from the start - this is much better. I was expecting a clusterfuck of glitches, expected to hate it. But spent all day at work thinking of playing it again. Gets my vote.

EDIT: Code worked. Now to get mumble to not gently caress up and log me into the Eve stuff

We have tossed around several security increasing plans. However, at the core this is about being a multi-platform gaming community. There is going to be some spy issues when we open our arms a bit to the public. Luckily, H1Z1 is a game where spies can't really do that much. Especially if you use concentric code defense and varying levels of access.

I suppose in the end we may end up having a huge fortress for everyone with smaller compartmentalized rooms for specific groups of people to hide their specific stuff in. It's an interesting way of doing base building for sure.

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
So we've managed to cultivate an ~enemy 4 lyfe~ who vacillates manically between gently caress YOU I'M GONNA BURN YOUR poo poo TO THE GROUND AND DRIVE YOU OFF *MY* SERVER and "whatever brah I haven't had this much fun in months" on Abomination, the current-largest US server. Evidently we 'poo poo on his lawn' when we decided to shift from the strategy of making GBS threads up as many servers as possible to just focusing on the high-cap/high-pop ones. We might have also brought a bit of the ire down by telling him that he could be our 'pet/slave/gimp/what-have-you' at some point, too. :shrug:

This guy publicly blued the entire server for 24 hours in a bid to wipe us off the map and 'drive us to the sea' (seriously, not making this poo poo up). At the same time, he surrounds himself with all the 'internet girls' he can on the server and will screamingly white-knight them and treat them like delicate flowers when they're shot at or killed, even making his own guys hazard themselves to recover their loot so they'll continue to be nice to him and flood his comms with jailbaity flirty voices.

We've got base tampers down in all the best spots at the Dam on Abomination. That means even if Seņor Dickcheese *is* able to burn down our bases, another server wipe will likely come before he's able to claim his prized pads (when we'll likely beat him online and claim the spots again). And being such "veterans" of the game (people seem to think if they've been playing H1Z1 since January that it makes them 'better' than someone who just joined), they seem to be averse to fighting naked guys with makeshift bows and hatchets with makeshift bows and hatchets, preferring to ignore the concept of sunk cost fallacy and kill us with precious ammo to feel like Rambo in a game where kills and deaths literally mean nothing.

His ultimate goal, other than probably engaging in questionably-legal chatting with minors, is to use the rest of the server to establish himself as the leader on the Dam, which evidently is about to become the first place on the map that'll still have accessible electricity.

Join up (even though we're having a bit of teething issues authenticating non-EVE Goons), it's honestly worth the :20bux: now.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

If anyone is on the fence about buying the game or hesitant to play with the eve guys, battle royal is a blast, especially with a buddy or two.
