[QUOTE=Limbless;23323755]Best thing to do against them is basically RUN LIKE HELL and let the zombies deal with them. Although you surely already knew that, right?[/QUOTE]
Actually I just get their attention, retreat behind a corner, wait for them to come to me, and unleash the shotgun on them. Works pretty well, actually.

Good idea. I usually try to avoid them at all costs, the more zombies they're killing is less I have to worry about. If you're going to hunt them leave your follower to guard your base so they don't stumble into the path of a salvo. I hate when I cultivate a follower for a few days and he has plenty of skills and equipment but dies for some ridiculous reason.
Does anyone else wish the blackops dropped armor that was better than the army vest?

can't wait for A4, looks like it will be the most feature packed alpha we have ever seen.
Yeah, A4 looks to be cool, and especially if you can crush people with the subway gates! Although I probably won't reside in one since I HATE underground areas such as subways, sewers etc.

Random survivor tries to roll by and steal your stockpile of stuff? Crush him under a gate.
This game is fantastic!
alpha 4 release date announced!!!
[sp]When its done™[/sp]
i can't wait for that day!
[QUOTE=flyboy95;23395158]This game is fantastic![/QUOTE]
Indeed. My first character woke up on day 0 without a single undead enemy in sight. Just loads of civilians either wandering aimlessly in the street wondering what the hell was happening. Nothing did until day 1.
Another character woke up with a skeleton immediately to the south-east and a baseball bat and a few characters later, the building I woke up in consisted of lots of small rooms between me and the street. Nearly every damn door had a zombie behind it and the survivors kept getting in my way.
It'd be really cool if you could kill survivors, in the event they get annoying as fuck or steal stuff.
New blog post. Alpha 4 looking better and better. Should be interesting to see how the police station changes gameplay. Update to tracking equipment is useful for seeing exactly where the person you're tracking is on the actual game screen instead of guessing from the minimap. Really like the idea of the fortifications, should be very useful. If the zombies destroy your fortification I'm guessing you can just pick the planks back up and reconstruct it.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;22434208]Didn't you ever read World War Z? They knew about the infection months, sometimes even years before it fully hit them. The smart ones stocked up ahead of time. Obviously, at least a this stage in development, we can't simulate planning beforehand years in Rogue Survivor, a day should suffice. But I have to disagree, I think it's good you're just dropped in, otherwise it's no "fun."
It's a struggle, as the guy said above, the longer you play the easier it gets, you just have to win that first 5 or 6 days.[/QUOTE]
Crap, now, why does everyone think "world war Z" is what every zombie game is based on? it's like we cant make new types of zombies, because someone would say
"World war Z didnt say any about that type of zombie, therefore, IT DIDNT EXIST!"
sariously guys,it's just a book. and L4D/28DL zombies are way cooler than WWZ zombies.

Except for the fact that the concept of the slow moving zombie is what gives zombie games their horror.
It isn't the fact that zombies have omg superpowers or are incredibly fast that make them scary. It's the fact that, inevitably, they outnumber you 1000 to 1. That's why Valve doesn't use the word 'zombie', they use the word 'infected'.
I was just reading the blog. Can't wait for the next release.

In a typical zombie apocalypse scenario, what world war z describes is likely what would happen. At least in the broad scale of things, like what I said.
I died of starvation yay.
Can't fucking find my fried chicken.
a few more days until A4 release, he is currently testing the new features to squash bugs; so that we don't get another alpha 3.1 shitfest.
bumped to avoid plague o purge?
did garry get rid of automerge? fuck. did not mean to bump. damnit.

Slow moving zombies are better than Infected. Infected are "Hurr durr we run fast and beat people up". Zombies are inevitable, nothing can stop them, nothing to stop the thousands of undead slowly coming towards you, inevitably going to kill you.
Am I supposed to be able to see a map in the lower right corner? Because right now all I see is the little dot that represents me and a black background.
edit: Upon reading the FAQ it seems that this crappy intel graphics card I'm using at the moment is to blame. Oh well.
oh crap.
individually, my character has good equipment, but is hungry and sleepy.
overall, I havent seen another survivors for 2 days (the last one I saw was a nat.guard without ammo asleep in the middle of the road) there are nat.guard zombies and neophytes everywhere. shit. I can't try to get out of my safehouse because glowing skeletons and zombie lords cut me down. what do I do?
also, I'd too like to kill annoying survivors. some bob mcgread got in my first safehouse while I was away and when I returned I saw him running away with food and guns.

All skeletons are relatively easy to deal with, shoot them before they can get close enough to you and you're fine. This mainly applies to the skeletons which are faster than you. The lower tier skeletons can easily be handled with melee weapons. My advice to you is to wait for the next national guard squad to arrive and immediately run to their location. Any zombie lords chasing you will quickly be dispatched when you are safely behind a fresh squad with loaded army rifles. Take that time to search for any food you can scrounge up and get sleep while you can.
It's a lot harder now that groceries can rot.

Once you reach the point where army rations start appearing food isn't much of a problem.
True but getting there is the problem.
Alpha 4 has been released! I'm downloading right now, can't wait to play it :D

Here's a little something I found on the web for people that want better graphics.

I was walking by the cells in a police station and this happened.
