Of the complaints that I have, melee (combat at least) actually feels like it's fine imo. There's no point to using regular attacks, only use power attacks. Even level 1 wooden clubs kill stuff pretty easily. I'm currently using a level 1 sledgehammer with 2 ranks of skull crusher and I'm one-shotting the weaker zombies now.

 
Saw something on here earlier about vultures being to hard. I mostly like them the way they are, really makes you choose your fights. As long as you keep your health at full they won't attack at all. They actually act like vultures and wait until you get hurt. I've had three or four circling me in the desert as I walked around (they don't go away...ever). Got too comfortable fighting a small group of zeds and got hit once and all four dive-bombed me and I was dead real quick. Maybe have them attack if your health drops below 75% and not 99%?

It is 90%, but I will think about it.

 
Not sure if this was intentional, but it was pretty hilarious. I was at a trader and a wandering horde walked into the perimeter wall. Since they have super hearing/homing beacons to the player, they stacked into one spot and started jumping. Before too long the ones in the back were jumping onto the heads of the zombies in front and then jumped over the wall into the traders.

This was in Navezgane.

Edit: Forgot to mention I like it. Definitely keeps you on your toes.

Those Valombies are no fun if U get scratched!

Great work people, well worth the wait!

I am having a superb time using the bow and staying clear of the deads hands! The new AI is so much more of a challenge. They don't flank you in groups yet thank goodness.

I doubled all the Zed xp per kill on my server and am having a great time unlocking the perks. So many new things to learn, thanks for all the solid work you all put in. Such a big step forward from previous works.

 
So as I've discovered - Don't be anywhere near the wasteland biomes at night. Really dig the weapons mod system. I did notice that the helmet drinking water filter mod only fits in leg armor I believe?

Sorry it was a joke :)

 
I have been playing on NAV mode for 3 days. I am now on night 6 and I have been able to do nothing for securing a base. I have been attacked from everywhere. I will be unable to make a base or secure a place for 7th day horde night. I am hoping if I stay at the farm house barn i might be safe. I spawned in on the south in the winter biom which needs balancing. On the right track, but you will die.

 
Has anyone tested Healing Factor? I put it on my character, but noticed no change. I was at 55 health, and I thought it was supposed to regen 1 HP every 30 secs? I never got an HP back at all until I ate some food.

Am I just not understanding how it is supposed to work?

 
I am unable to collect wood or rocks without being attacked. Hello, 15 seconds you look around nothing, then 15 zombies appear out of no where and are killing you. No, not balanced or even a working game.

Nice, lol.

Seriously great update, no real issues other than trader in B197; not just initial quest but also subsequent quests such as 'Lady Killer'.

FPS at a steady 60-65, occasional stutter but nothing to write home about. Loving the whole game play thing, its much better.

 
Man how is anybody complaining about this? I think I am enjoying every single decision the Funpimps made! Sure it sucks to run out of stamina, but perk for it and it gets better. I used to have stacks of hundreds of bacon and eggs. At least now I have a reason to eat the food.
As for you guys with 15 FPS... I built my computer in 2011 and I am getting 30 to 41 FPS. Are you running a sweet potato or an Idaho spud?

I really love the new zombie loot system too. It is actually exciting to see loot drop from them now. I love the idea of great stuff dropping every once in a while instead of crap every time. It used to take me an entire day to clean up all the loot and bodies after a horde.

GREAT JOB GUYS!! Well worth the wait!

Thank you, much appreciated. I believe that the performance issues are related to shadows and high resolution.

 
Did you push a dedicated server update for Linux? I do:

app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental

but it does not update and is still on "Server version: Alpha 17 (b197)". I even did -validate

Do I need specify the version to download this for the dedicated linux server?
