Apparently zombies seem to have a chance at dropping small-tier loot upon death. I was killing zombies near this shack and next to their corpse I found binoculars. It was on the forest ground so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a spawn area.

That has been going on for a few days, but it's not just small tier loot, I observed one dropping a large backpack just after my buddy killed it :v:

Honestly just sounds like some more tiny scripting tweaks compiled into a list that would be a patch or two in any other game.

Optimization is really something that this game needs, I am glad that they improved it a bit.

[B]We did another big ban wave today.[/B]
As you may have noticed people are starting to make some noise about being banned and they are correct.
Today we banned ~2000 players for using 3rd party hacks and these bans are 100%. None of the bans have anything to do with exploiting bugs in any way.
These guys were banned because the account was caught hacking. Unfortunately if your little brother was the one hacking on your account you are liable for that and the ban will stick.
I ask you please do not post about bans on the forums, this is not the place for it and it is against the forum rules.
Coincidentally, failing to abide by the forum rules will also lead to a forum ban.[/QUOTE]

If only they did that before and more often.
If only everyone in hammerpoint was like the AMA guy
Is it safe to play now?
[QUOTE=FuDy;38822298]Is it safe to play now?[/QUOTE]
I never met any hacker since i bought the game(2 months ago), maybe it's because i only join low population servers.
I wonder if any of those in the ban wave were banned for reasons unrelated to hacks or exploits.

I heard that if you send someone a guest key and they use hack you get banned too.

A bit stupid since it will put off most people off giving guest keys and potentially losing customers. Lets face it most people aren't keen on saying good things about the game. Which will more than likely put people off buying.
All in all effect sales.

I don't find it stupid. A lot of betas and even released games that i have participated worked that way.
Keeps you from inviting jerks instead of your friends.
I am happy they have banned hackers, hopefully we'll see improvements from here.
A got a refund at last. I figured I might as well buy the game later and skip out on the small bonuses once the game is finished. I paid $25 bucks and then it goes down to $15. Game isn't bad though.
Surprise surprise I was fucking ignored yet again over that one question.

Yes your server will be hosted on an approved host, they will have control over it.
Games like this with global inventories and levels have to be this way.
If you really want to host your own server go illegal and download those emulators.
Yes you can get a forum ban for asking dumb questions, and it's totally fine.
I loaded up my character that was trapped in a police station, and immediately upon spawning every zombie in the area was made aware of my presence somehow, and I had 2 seconds to react to the mob running into the building.
I somehow managed to dodge the brunt of it, surviving only by frantically applying bandages that where luckily in a quick-slot.
They chased me for over a mile before they finally lost my trail.

Ok so it's dumb asking if they are gonna allow us to host our own servers on our own hardware using an api key to allow it to connect to the master server meaning it'll pass over global inventories and list it on the server list (essentially a similar way dayz manages the public hive over community hosted servers) all because the FAQ is a pile of toss at answering the basic of questions by just saying "yes but did you know you can rent lol?"
Their rent model is retarded, they are gonna charge out the fucking ass for it as shown multiple times and the dev's can't make two ends of whatever shoe lace they are using on their shoe as none of them can agree on certain topics.
I love the game but some of the stuff that's going on really annoys me.

First of all, you need a really powerful hardware side and link side dedicated server to handle something like this(thousands of zombies and 75 slots) which you will hardly find on any house. You would have to rent a dedicated server anyway.
Second, it's not safe to provide the server application as it can be easily modded by any reverse engineer wannabe.
And we don't want modded servers on a game that has global inventory and shared characters right?
That's the deal breaker about having the server software released.
New patch:
[quote=12/14/12][I]Improved the weapon damage model.
Players are no longer able to create names with spaces in front of them.
Items that you drop on the ground now last 10 minutes down from 30.
Fixed a bug with Assault Rifles an Sniper rifles that caused them to do less damage at low range.
Added a crosshair to TPS mode.
Added more zombies and more zombie spawns.[/I][/quote]

I thought they were going to just remove TPS. Using FPS now will be just dumb but more immersive than TPS.
Woah I was in Clearview with 6 other people I know irl (we met there), this 7th guy shows up and seems pretty harmless, he starts running away and we're like "no, wait we're friendly", all of a sudden he pulls up his pistol and instantly kills all of us, guess they still need to work on those damn hackers... but I guess that's what I get for being friendly, should have shot him while he was acting innocent.
Yeah zombies are a threat again. One pre-patch spawn for 2 zombies is now changed to 8-10. They're also doing another ban wave.
Zombies and crosshair?
oh
MMY
GOD
