[quote]Good news, everyone!
In the spirit of continued communication, I wanted to update everyone on whats going on over here at Hammerpoint Interactive.
Clans are kickin' in the pipeline now, and moving along at a pretty good clip. We're planning on a sizable patch for Thanksgiving, including a rather large content update (official announcement later this week).
Also, some other tidbits I figured you'd be pleased to note:
We're more than aware of the server debate. While I can't say specifically what we're deciding to do in terms of private vs. public servers, we won't be locking players to private servers with separate Global Inventories. Additionally, the idea we're moving with now is that for testing purposes there is no change in loot from private to public, just so we can see the ramifications. If we do reduce loot at the start it would just be reducing military spawns, which ultimately won't matter as we're adding
More civilian weapons! .22 caliber rifles, etc - I brought this up in our meeting today and Sergey gave us the thumbs up, and art is already discussing the best to include.
Also, brace yourselves, TPS crosshairs are coming...
as are fists for melee....
and a fix for the duping item issue!
All in all we're looking at some very positive changes in the near future.
Other items I brought up for discussion: Regular vs. Hardcore mode. The plan right now is that Hardcore means your character dies forever - you can hang on to him/her for trophy purposes/leaderboards, but otherwise once dead is always dead.
Also, the foul language filter for chat option is coming, along with the name filter.
Oh, and we're also discussing a proper trade system to help stimulate the economy. As soon as I've got some more info there I'll pass it along!
So, stay tuned for an announcement this week regarding next weeks patch, and I'll see you in game!
EDIT: I forgot to mention another female character was just completed and added in, so she'll go out with the next patch.
Also, for those of you flaming us for lying, all we're doing here is being as transparent as is reasonable with the game. Its a balance between getting peoples hopes up vs. not giving them anything to hope for. When I say 'clans are coming on X day' that's because its the current plan. When things change, or the task becomes suddenly more difficult than we'd previously estimated, deadlines get moved. It happens in every major developer - I'm simply striving to shed some light on our process, rather than remain silent. [/quote]
Nothing on an anti-cheat system yet? damn it
They also said that they are increasing the dead timer from 1h to 24h.
24 hours?
24 HOURS?
What the fuck do they want people to stop playing theyr game or what

If you didn't know already, you can delete dead characters and make new ones which are alive and playable.
Still the 24 hours blocked is a really bad way of dealing with this. No developper should prevent me from playing the game with such hards methods. If you look at it, cheaters get the same kind of punishement than normal users, which is kind of unfair.
Creating a new character may be an alternative, but if they add all the skill trees and professions, then it would be rather pointless. You want to play with your character that you evolved over the time, not always begin from the beginning. You have hardcore mode for that.
It is really a bad way to deal with this, one hour is a joke but 24 hours is not the way to go. Besides you die really often because of random stuff, people spawnkilling you directly, skyrocketing in the air because of bugs and so forth.

Odds are, you're going to die enough on each individual character to maintain somewhat of an average level amongst all of them. I don't really see a problem with the system unless you're either so bad at the game or unlucky enough that you consistently die on every character you have at once.

[quote] So bad at the game[/quote]
Are you shitting me? The second you spawn someone comes and murders you with a flashlight. This has absolutely nothing to do with skill.

I'm excited about more civilian weapons, and fists even more so.
And that prevents the cheaters to cheat how? THEY DON'T DIE! WE ARE THE ONES DYING!
Yeah, before they implement that 24 hour timer they really have to make their anti-cheat bulletproof... I mean, right now it isn't a huge deal considering as has been said you can just delete the dead character and make a new one, but if hacking is still a problem by the time the skill tree is implemented then there's going to be an issue.
so i was playing arround when...

I keep pickaxes in the fridge all of the times
Would've been better if there was a Fedora in the fridge
Who the hell leaves a pickaxe at a fridge?
Painkillers spawn like crazy.

I found 5 of those in the air tower once, I didn't know if they were that good so I left them.

doesn't matter now though because I found a knife
So, it seems the military in Colorado REALLY likes tuna, ive had nothing but terrible luck over the past few days but this takes the cake.
I looted the military tends in the original city (cant remember the name) and found a single can of tuna, I then went all the way to that camp by the river and found, tuna.
Decided since the server was pretty much empty that i'd finaly travel to boulder city to see if it was as much of a shitfest as the other city, turns out theres pretty much nothing there exept the helicopter crash site.
Which contained 2 cans of tuna.
:v:
[QUOTE=Awegner;38445840]Were you with another guy? I shot 2 dudes coming inside with my mp7.

Also, pointed a shottie towards 2 noobs with flashlights and made them fight to the death, gave the victor a helmet, then as he walked away I shot him the in the back, Ain't I a stinker.[/QUOTE]
Nope, I was alone.

The city's name is Campos.
Also, try searching the smaller settlements, there's a lot more loot there compared to the marked areas. And not just Tuna.
Holy shit, just went to the echo compound and found two automatic AKs there, then I went to smallville and ambushed a guy. He dropped tons of supplies, two m4s, m16, AA12, 2 mossbergs and several pistols.
Aren't hatchets the best melee right now?
Two hits to a zombie head. 3 for everything else.

Hatchet = god tier melee
woo had a guy speedhack and kill me
I have uninstalled this game, see you all later. I've literally lost every piece of loot, sick of dieing and rinse/repeat every 5 minutes

Yeah that had happen to me the other night, but I would of suggested going on a server with really low pop.

The whole un-installation phase is quite childish to me...Why not keep it installed for later, Like when they wipe the servers+update in the coming weeks.
Hell i'm awful at some games like SC2 but i still keep them installed.

The uninstall isn't necessary. There's still the Beta to go through, and then the full release.
So much dying to do, and killing sprees to be had. Why stop now? Go on a rampage. Kill all that moves.
