Just started playing this, so far the crossbow is amazing, oneshot most zombies with headshots and very very easy to make. No mic so will have to take my chances!

Having fun so far, doled out some frontier justice and ran around alone for a while. Got blessed by the murderchurch and went and did the lords work with a shotgun. As for losing your inventory i've taken to digging a hole, shoving in a chest and just putting the important stuff in there then covering it over. It's not foolproof but it's unlikely that anyone will stumble over a chest buried under the ground at random.

QwertySanchez posted:Yeah, They almost never go in water unless something's really got their attention. Like setting off about 20 tnt at once in the middle of the lake. I dunno if the big hole in the water in the middle makes them see the water as less than a full block or what but they almost killed me and some people in the lag after blowing up a place on a lake. Firing a gun a few times can do it and the water makes it tricky to do anything against the growing angry horde

Splode posted:Alright, can somebody explain how respawning works? I know you can select your spawn point on the map, but I can't work out what happens when you don't have one selected. Not sure exactly how respawning works but yeah it is very easy to suicide teleport which is why anyone smart doesnt have a bed in their house, maybe close by but definately not in it!

I think this is the game that I wanted Rust to be, but Rust kind of disappoints me in that they seem to follow the Day Z way of doing things and pretty much want you to be lost. But from what I hear, this game at least has a map. Theres a map and you can move between spawn points easily, theres crafting and zombies, its p great

Pon de Bundy posted:So this game won't work for poo poo on a laptop, correct? It looks pretty intense. Running it on an older laptop, i3 at 2.4ghz and 3gig ram, intel HD graphics. runs pretty well, stutters here and there but playable. [quote="simosimo" post=""""] *things* [/quote] Loot does not respawn ever. Zombies will slowly congregate towards you even if they cant see you but they wont start on you unless you are within a certain distance (much less at night). Undergound is pretty safe, far safer than above ground! If you decide to play multiplayer (do it) trust no one, remember that you will lose your inventory if you disconnect (make a hidden stash somewhere) and most of the world will probably be scavenged out by the time you play, but there are ways to get most items.

Inkel posted:Did we change this with the new server reset? Because you should keep your items if you exit the game normally. If the server crashes, or if you have to close the game from the task manager or something like that, then you'll lose your stuff(or at least get rolled back some) but otherwise it should still be with you when you reconnect. Ah i never keep my inventory when i disconnect so i assumed that was normal

Drakenel posted:Easiest way to keep your personal poo poo hidden is to dig a few blocks down and place a chest, then cover it back up. Either have a good memory or mark it with something not obvious, and make sure no one sees you go there, and it'll be pretty safe. I keep hidden stashes as a normal precaution, got a good amount of arms and ammunition hidden away on goonserver right now, ingame name is kea40000 so just lemme know who you are if you need a hand.

The running zombies are a bit of a problem but mainly because of the lag, i cant kill anything because i keep freezing up, not to mention some guy is on right now killing an insane amount of people, though he could just be good and not hacking.

Loving this so far but I have a few hopes for future releases.
Some of these ideas are probably terrible but it was just a few possible ideas. A quick look over youtube shows a lot of people clamouring to make certain walls zombie proof, which seems kind of besides the point of the game, though you could have it that if there is a "mob strength" mechanic like I mentioned that mobs below a certain size couldnt break down certain strength walls.

d3c0y2 posted:I got on for a little bit, people where shouting about ODIN for some reason. Some pubbie called Russian bear chased me around for about 10 minutes, got murdered and quit the game, then some dude alled geek shot me a few times and it was all laggy as poo poo. Bit of a primer for you and anyone else new. First off avoid other people who arent confirmed goons since most of them are insanely paranoid and will shoot first. Secondly craft a crossbow, needs sticks (punch a bush or craft wood into them), plant fibre (crafted from grass that drops when you punch it). Then make some bolts, made from feathers (zombies or nests) sticks, small stones (can be crafted from stone or found as rocks on the ground). You have to have the ammunition for a weapon in your action bar as well as the weapon to reload, you will drop anything you have in your action bar upon death which is why the crossbow is so good, a headshot will kill a zombie and they are basically disposable. You may lose your inventory on logging out, as far as i can tell this happens to some people and not others so test this before amassing an inventory full of loot. Above ground bases are more or less invitations to get looted/raided, underground is best. More zombies spawn in cities and near places of interest (ruins etc) so watch out where you go. You can change your spawn point by clicking on any star or tent symbol on the map, all spawn points are PUBLIC meaning if you place a bed to create one ANYONE can use it, if you want a spawn for your hidden base put the bed somewhere nearby. If you run out into the wilderness between interesting areas you can find loot even on a server thats 20 + days old, look for bags lying on the floor especially around areas that are nothing buts trees/wasteland. Zombies are effected by the light, during the day they will walk UNLESS they are in a dark place (house with blocked up windows etc) you can use torches to slow zombies down, a good tip is to place a torch if you are running from zombies, when they hit the pool of light they will slow down and you can get away. Stamina is super important, drinking refills it more or less instantly. If you have no/low stamina any breaking actions or non missile attacks will do CONSIDERABLY less damage (1-2 headstabs at full stamina or 10+ at no stamina). Lastly gravetown and the other urban areas are looted first so they are likely to be cleaned out AND full of zombies/lunatics trying to build bases their. Sorry for the wall of text but I hope some people find it useful!

Mide posted:So I've been reading up a bit about this game and it seems extremely interesting. There is a lot of negative comments over steam though which has me a bit worried and the price tag of 35 dollars seems a bit high but I'd still pay if the game is as fun as it seems it is or can be. What would you all say, having played the game for a bit now? I'll be honest with you, its a good feature rich alpha that is also a good game, I have definately got my moneys entertainment out of it so far and as long as it keeps updating i think it will get even better. However the price IS pretty high. I suppose it depends if you are more interested in singleplayer or multiplayer?

Mide posted:Yah, I'm really big on multiplayer games and played quite a bit of Minecraft on Goon servers. How are our current goon servers for this game, and would it be too frustrating for a newbie to jump into the world without too much trouble? Only one goon server at the moment, not a huge population right now, I imagine it will pick up when the game gets a few more features etc. I made a decent size beginners style post a few posts back you could look at.

William Bear posted:One guy on youtube suggests a sky bridge, shaped like an upside-down U, with ladders on the verticals. Zombies don't use ladders, right? zombies can DEFINATELY climb ladders, without a doubt, however they cannot break a block above them while on the ladder so as long as you place any old block ontop they cannot get up.

oldskool posted:Goonchurch worked on this principle except instead of blocks they were giant spikes, so there was no jump to make. Another of the handful of poor decisions with that base to go with the several dozen great decisions. Latest terrible decision is the current location of goontown, which has about 2 large zombie spawns in it, absolute nightmare, I say we blow it the gently caress up and move somewhere new.

Inkel posted:This is very true. I was there with Pickles and Cookies yesterday on one of those "mining operations" into pubbie bases. I accidently trapped Pickles in a section of the base with a TNT stack. So my smart self decided I'll just dig him a walkway through the wall, so I take out my pickaxe and start hitting the wall. Totally didn't think about the TNT stack right next to the wall. The crater where both our bodies laid afterwards was glorious. First time I saw TNT I basically went "huh weird, that looks like tntn...IT IS tnt! *punch* *explode*"

Ak Gara posted:God damnit twice now I've crashed while on the goon server and had to alt+f4 out of the game, and each time I've lost everything I've gotten since it last saved. Think yourself lucky, I lose everything even if I log out properly. Edit: If the server hasnt been reset spawn in the bottom left spawn point and travel south to the border with the radiated area, then head to your right (facing the irradiated area) you should find a hole with 5 chests or so with a few supplies in them. Alternatively spawn in the bottom right, travel east to the edge of the irradiated zone, go north past the mountain/bluff thing and keep on the edge of the irradiated zone, break the sand on the floor near where a small outcrop comes out of the irradiated zone making a hill.

Inkel posted:I haven't found them yet, but then again I've spent most of my time repairing Murdertown's defenses and stopping the internal zombie spawns. On another note, there's a hacker on the server named "itsBandit" (without the quotations), and he is invisible both in the world and on the player list. I'm not exactly sure how he killed me, but it seemed similar to someone on Counter Strike with speed hacks and a knife. The hacking is really annoying, I hope alpha 6 closes some of the holes.

Alabaster White posted:drat, I really want to experience the new content, but the crossbow aiming bug makes it way too hard to dispatch zombies. Any good first-few-nights weapons? The spiked club is excellent but not really reliable when you get swarmed. If you are getting swarmed the best weapon you have is sprinting away, drop a torch as you go (if its night) and the zombies will be forced to slow to a walk when they enter the light. That can help you get away safely. EDIT: After playing for a bit the crossbow works fine, still shoots exactly the same as far as I can tell, just a minor glitch if you are zoomed in when you reload. Also duping is still possible, so gigantic piles of tnt on pubbies arent impossible. Kea fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jan 16, 2014 |
