Does it take a little while for your account to be added to a database before you can use it on Mumble? I have some free time tonight and would love to try it out with some goons

Would someone be able to PM me (or just post here) what server the main goon base is on, where it is, and what the access code is?

I had a great 57 min run going and had a fancy now and headshot a pubbie plus some zombies and then I wandered too close to a guys base and he shot gunned me and I lost all my cool stuff :saddowns:

You should sign up on themittani.com first. Then get jabber, I personally use the pidgeon client, then x up there for base codes. As for the server, we are in Abomination but we aren't very comfortable with divulging the location just yet.

Yeah no worries, I signed up on themittani.com but due to my school schedule and load I haven't been able to play for long enough to warrant jumping into mumble. I'll make sure to do that though, thanks!

I don't mind OPSEC as long as it doesn't get into the whole "I'm going to look into your personal life to make sure you aren't a spy in a virtual space game" levels of OPSEC.

Given this is an alpha and loot is so easily replaceable nah. Maybe if someday this turns into some magical fortress and max mad world and a single dude can wreck a month of looting or something. But with wipes every 2-3 weeks heh. Whatevs.

I've been meaning to ask about that since I've never bought an alpha beforehand: am I going to have to payoff this game again once it gets past the beta stage or what

No. It'll be free when it comes out. So up to you to decide if that's better or worse.

I assume being an alpha user comes with certain perks, plus more pubbies to kill so meh

I'm really enjoying heads hitting people with the bow, it's incredibly satisfying and it's also convenient to have basically unlimited ammo

Seven rounds in the ammo room. Seven. Guys, explosive arrows are only good for Airdrop runs. Otherwise, don't fuckin' make 'em!

Good job all getting newbase up and running quickly. Please don't horde, and do a chore from time to time and don't just take ammo. Empty the rabbit traps and put 'em in the grill. Fill some water bottles. The entire point to having a base is to go from zero to fuckin' poo poo up in as little time as possible.

and please don't talk about eve

YES! Dont forget that this is a communist paradise and that while we do appreciate the right to have your own stuff, your primary focus should be for the greater good

the new base owns real fuckin' hard, cheers to the builders who did such a great job

I still don't usually carry one. Maybe I'm overconfident in my .45 skills.

I like the shotty because, while I'm pretty accurate, people dolphin diving and jumping around like loons are all sorted by the shotty, and also a body shot is enough to :vd:

DOOMocrat posted:

Yeah, I haven't seen it verified anywhere, but I think the shotty works better against body armor too for some reason. Maybe it's just pellet count.

Seems legit because i dont think body armour works well against it irl either

not 100% on that though.

I seem to remember the hard plate armour turning into dust from shotgun shells but I haven't really paid attention to that kind of thing in like five years so I'm sure it's better now than it was then

I got DC'd as someone was moving a car, and the car kept going in a straight line past a curve in the road, hit a nearby warehouse, then flipped around like that while gliding through the air

Is this community still relatively active? I caved and bought the game to play with my brother.

Yeah, they all post on the subreddit, and most of them are anti KoS and quit any time someone raids their base

Part of the thrill of the game is the potential for losing everything and the need to rely on at least a few other people (or build bases that would require 800 IEDs to get in lol)

on one hand, it is kind of annoying, but on the other hand, there were wayyy too many people logging on, taking gobs of ammo and poo poo that everyone else had worked to get so we could all have fun, then logging off with it all/dying in really stupid ways after being told not to do that stupid thing or you'll probably die

one bad apple spoils the bunch, and this was the only way to figure out who was loving everything up for everyone else. idk.

I think you're overselling the mystery aspect. A few people who've been playing for quite a while go YOLO with full gear/fully automatics and it's kind of brushed off, but these people play all day and I don't so I don't quite mind it as much. Again, it's not a big deal, if I feel like the "Fun for everyone" rules are getting in my way of having fun I switch channels/bases and deal with a different crowd. That doesn't keep the half measure "You can have personal stuff but it's not yours but what you pick up should go to us" stuff from being REALLY annoying though, and I don't even keep a personal stash or have a base, especially because one lap of WH/DD is usually enough for a full clip in the shotgun or .308 if I'm bone dry and we've never been hurting for either since this last wipe.

I totally understand organizing better to keep the dumb (in a great way) content going and appreciate the work people have put in. But at a certain point, this is all ephemeral and going to be wiped and not in need of a military supply chain to the point where it's 50% of the mumble chat I hear anymore. poo poo's toxic. Nothing was loving anything up for me until this started happening.
Yeah, I definitely get where you're coming from. I suspect that they're getting us used to it now so when it/if the game ever goes beta/released we will be well prepared for it so idk.

I played Eve for a while and I didn't mind the restrictions because the benefits ruled, but it's kind of hard to translate that into this kind of game, at least with the current way DBG has it set up. If/when they get a clan system set up it, it hopefully will mitigate the current frustrations
