Where can i find lots of guns and ammo? Also why the hell is boulder city so damn empty? Its like theres nothing. Theres no enterable buildings, hardly any zombies, no loot no nothing... There is also no loot at the airport either.
is it just me or are some of these locations references to movies and shows? smallville is a show and tyler ranch is the name of the ranch from of mine and men
Yeah where do you find guns? Is it special locations only? Like police stations and shit like that? Or are they just randomly spawned anywhere but exceedingly rare?

Well you coulda been sniped with a vss at similar timing
[QUOTE=psychocyclone85;38342176]Playing a game like DayZ or War Z is much like playing games like Dungeons of Dredmor or The Binding or Isaac or really any other game with perma-death.
There are only two constants to games like these: You will die. You will lose any progress you've made.
It's actually what makes games with perma-death fun. You die, you start fresh. Sure you lost your cool stuff, but you get a chance to get new cool stuff, stuff you may have never seen before. And everyone playing the game is just like you, the guy that killed you has just as much a chance at suffering the same fate that you have, but he was just a little bit more fortunate, just a couple steps ahead of you in loot, and he killed you, but it's only a matter of time before he dies and he loses his shit, and then the guy that killed him could die and lose his shit, and you could come walking along and find that guys stuff.
It's the cycle of life and death, it can apply to games that don't even have perma-death, but in a game like this, it's much more of a challenge -and a whole lot more satisfying- to reach the end of that cycle: the point where you're indiscriminately murdering everyone, and death is constantly looming over you, one false move and you could lose all you've striven for, and when you do mess up -and you will- you will be in the exact same boat as the people you just killed. And so you must try again.
If that's something that turns anyone off from the game, then it'd be best to play something else, or to learn to accept it. I find it best to simply not give a fuck in a game like this. You have to have fun with the life you are given, make the most out of it, and if you die at least you get the chance to try again unlike in the real world. Now, there might be a way to make it so fresh spawns have a little bit more of a chance to reach the end of the cycle as opposed to getting blasted before they even get to do anything, but it's a situation that'd be difficult to change without making some things worse.
Sorry for all the words, I don't even have War Z, I just thought I'd voice my opinion on the situation. :v:[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the response. You're right in the sense that anything more than a spawn timer for protection would be a game breaking issue.
Maybe that's all that would be needed so new players don't feel like they 'cant get anywhere'. Like Hairybastard posted above, it just seems hard to get going at first. Maybe if the spawn timer was only active on the FIRST character you create, and was only removed after a short period of time (1-2 mins), or once an item is picked up, allowing you to spawn and at the least get into cover to assess your surroundings. I think that's the only fix to protect the gameplay.
At least there's a guest pass for WarZ, that way I can at least try it out before spending cash. I agree with everyone else though, the point of the survival game is to survive, so anything more than just a little nudge would be out of the question. Hadn't really considered that when I first posted.
Two guys decided to sync up their perfect head shots from a mile away? We were in the back area and NO one was there

Mumble is an application like Teamspeak. It lets you connect to a server and talk while playing. It's useless if you don't have a mic, unless you just want to be able to hear the people you're playing with.
So apparently keys expire now, have to get a new one to keep playing lol.

Apperantly the server browser is broken... can't join any server through it but if I use quick join it works...
[QUOTE=Agoat;38342117]Duplicating isn't hacking. It's a glitch. And if you're going to dismiss the entire thing because the game is in alpha, why even bring it up?[/QUOTE]
To dismiss further discussion but y'know, some people can't take a hint.
Roninjinn and TCB, your codes are in yo mail.
Started near Echo's and walked/ran toward it, chased by 2 zombies. Once I get inside I hear a guy shooting and just run right by him then hop in the bed of a truck and find a pistol. Then there's like 3 other guys in the compound, all of whom claim to be friendly, so we just walk around grabbing loot we want. As I'm about to leave, one of them runs up behind me and bashes my skull in.
Thankfully the rest of them killed him, I'm pretty sure.
To those of you asking where guns are, search through the southern parts of the old map, on a server where there are few people. I get most my guns from there, and have found M4s, M16, AA12, MP7, and blazers in that area. Also, you can find bulletproof vests and good food there. If you dont find anything, go up to the big city, and search through the stores. They usually have at least a shotgun.
Don't suppose someone is willing to give me another key? :v:
Like that guy before said, yup smallville is fucking [B]cursed[/B].
A brand new player decided to tag along with me, found him in the store outside of the tunnel, we start to head around the lake, go through the ranch pick up some shit then move onto smallville, I take the longest route in making sure I check for people. I see 2 people after a while but then they start to walk off up north of our location (away from us) so I decide it should be clear to go in. We walk into the town and what do I find, those two asshats came back into the town, one spots me and I start to run, new guy in tow, we end up behind one of the far houses in the town and I sit waiting for them with my saiga.
What happens, they both pop around the corner in full fucking MTV which they were not wearing when I spotted them and they unload 2 AA-12 drums into us.
What a waste.
There is now a cracked cheat code avilable online that gives you locations for items, guns, noclip, speedhack, equipment dump etc, its basically a dev console you can use. Maybe they were using that.

where are we at
lets say it together
"facepunch, not 4chan"
also just got killed by the most polite bandits ever. One of them came up, said "howdy neighbor", I was busy typing when his friends flanked me and rammed their hammers up my ass. Not literally, but you get the idea. He finished typing: "hope you don't mind if my pals kill you, sorry it's nothing personal"
I had a granola bar and a flashlight on me.
from what I experienced people will just kill you randomly even if you don't look like you're carrying much, honestly I wouldn't kill someone if they were unarmed or appeared to not have anything as its not worth the bullets.
Yeah, you guys shouldn't be surprised if you die by what seems to be a hacking player. Its more common than you think and it really is easy for people to access cheats.

There's also a duplication exploit. So if you happen to kill a player with what seems to be "fat loot," it really may not even matter. Any item in the game can be duplicated easily, and players can just keep arming their characters to the teeth with their duplicated items.
it'd be nice if they implemented an anti cheat system already

TMcheat's is easy to take down though, all you need to do is make their login server "overload".
Not saying you should but it works.

With all the publicity these cheats are getting, they won't have a choice pretty soon. Complaints from the playerbase are going to increase.
ill just wait for the FP server
less chance of getting lead in the face when looking at someone dick
