Best i found until now, and it works more bad as good

As the owner of the longest, continuously running server (#2 ranked - Ground Zero - since March, 2014), I agree with this 100 percent! Our map is 12k and many players have difficulty logging in. Many newcomers assume they are locked up and may spend hours validating files, updating drivers and trying to troubleshoot their computers when all the while it's just the game taking forever. Also, the fact there are no cities in the true sense of the term and even at 12k, the map is entirely too small and loot is a real struggle. I really feel this is a step backward.

Well, as the devs said. They are working on it as fast and best that they can. Guess easiest way for them to not have to deal with it is to just remove RWG all together until it is perfect. Yeah, not really. But this is experimental, trying to get a server that large up and running when the devs have already said that "it won't work right now" is just asinine. It'd be one thing if the devs were saying RWG has no problems and working perfectly while still having these issues, it's another when they say it's currently not possible... For now, I just wouldn't expect to see massive servers up and running.

Yeah, I haven't figured it out myself. It's annoying that you destroy blocks upon hitting, and if you go slow enough to not cause damage, you go soooooo slow up the hill.

Purgatory Wolf, thank you! Still weird how my builds just vanished, but thanks for that intel! Now I can export them before they vanish lol.

You're welcome! You would think with a new feature like this, they would have explained it to us at least. There is also a way to manually export with the console commands, but there seems to be no way to manually import with console commands.

I don't know know why your map erased tho, that's bizzar. Make sure you report what you did on the Bug thread

Sure, they deliberately made their game slow because it is super important to make you suffer. That you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you, right? :cocksure:

There's no reason to be an arse about it. They have said many many times in the past that the game is only "optimized" for 8 people. And forcing us into smaller maps like this, is indeed a way to deter playing with 30.

Because real guns fired with suppressors (which is the proper name, not silencers) *still* make noise. Don't believe the Hollywood BS you see/hear in movies and TV, it is vastly different from reality.

LOL that always bugged me too! Silencers dont go "pew pew" ... they just make the BANG about half as loud. -- guns in movies are quieter in general than real life as well, for that matter.

A video for those who find the new POIs too hard to handle. I would never have allowed myself to do that with a beginner character. Not just because I'm a coward, but mostly because these POIs are for me THE reward after putting up my skills.

At first, you might think I'm a poor archer. But then, it's confirmed.

My goal is to make it clear that wanting to access the loot of these buildings from the beginning can often only lead you to great disappointments. Especially when you play badly.

Do not expect to hear my terrible accent, I preferred to write comments (all spelling mistakes are under copyright).

Try using Wedges/wedge tips to a gentler slope. Does the 4x4 destroy blocks when you back up onto them? or only from the front?

When I tested Molotovs in b199 you had to basically throw them horizontally. Any attempts aiming 'down' failed. Hopefully Molotovs will get looked at soon-ish. Once they are I'll definately test the Crude Railing for Molotov pass-thru and falling thru.Nice idea on the hatches for a foldable staircase, also an interesting test of the AI

Thanks for the ideas lesipher

Yer welcome

Zombies seem a bit too intelligent. they always seem to know where I am. not that big of a deal I guess. When are NPCs coming to the game? I want to battle bandits, have survivers at my base, and what not. I think it would be nice to be walking along and end up finding a group of survivers or bandits battling a horde.

Also, this game is missing Trains and Rail Road tracks. This is something I been wanting in the game for a while lol.

Well i tried the wedges, but only by driving forward, and they broke.

Driving backwards on a lifted ramp..... lets name it plan z

Sorry if that was a little too sarcastic. But they have said many times that they primarily balance and optimize for maximal 8 people, they never said they would actively try to prevent or hinder playing the game for more than 8. If they wanted they could do that pretty trivially with a hard login limit.

They also said the size limit of RWG is only temporary.

Good video, I don't care bout the mistakes, makes it more interesting. Credit for taking on always run. I always get wandering horde when I'm on Buried Supplies quest, even if i wait for them to pass, i take so long finding the bloody supplies the next wandering horde comes.

I'm luvvin how dangerous pois are now, but personally I switch to melee + automatic weapons indoors, bows are a little too slow for my taste. Maybe I'll try a sneaky archer next build, did u put any points into sneak perks?

I think it is placing them too low, so it needs very flat ground. On my TODO list. Hopefully moving it up will make it easier.

can we get bike mods like:

-- Playing card + clothing pin in the spokes for noise

-- tassels for my handle bars

-- lights with battery or wheel generator?

2 A17 Related Questions.

1. What perk raises the Quest tier at the trader? Barter? I'm not seeing a description that makes sense to me.

2. Armor slows your mobility. Is there a perk or mod that offsets this debuff? Or is the debuff just simply the side effect of having better damage resistance? Again having trouble working this out - for example Light Armor perk just says it decreases the stamina drain and increases durability (I think anyway). Neither of which seemed to work for me.

 

[unlike them]

There are mods for armor that decrease mobility penalty.

And a banana seat and highrise handlebar mods! My 1968 Schwinn Stingray was the bomb!

I'm getting really effing tired that the game resets the resolution every effing time I restart the game.. It causes the entire game to lag, which is not present when starting the game with the 'old' resolution.

Is there a fix incoming for this? It's been like this for 2 weeks now..

 

[Royal Deluxe]

Btw, any news if a patch today is probable ?

Want to start a new game

Thanks and yes : sneak, archer (allows to shoot very fast), perception of course and (for this time) no points in close combat ^^.
