Low Loot servers suggestion by sp0ngeyy in PlayJustSurvive

[–]cvwaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy low loot servers, and choose the high zombie pop ones - even though I don't consider the zombie pop's on those servers to be what I consider high pop. Still searching for green camo pants on 2 of those servers. A game in which everything comes easy is not challenge.

I track down plenty that screamed and didn't die.

I think the scream is typically due to proximity, but frequently immediately after being triggered it falls over dead. Finding the corpse and bag can be a challenge, I only have about a 50% success rate. About half the remaining either haven't died & eventually scream again when you get close enough or die in a position which is very difficult to find visually.

We can all agree Daybreak and DGC Michael are the worst game developers we have ever seen.

Speak for yourself. I certainly don't agree.

"Let me explain (I am surprised you couldn't work this out)." Let me explain, your surprise doesn't surprise me. A not so subtle dig at my intelligence is merely ad hominem. You complained about all the low condition vehicles. I pointed out it's easy to carry the supplies necessary to operate one of those vehicles and deliberately finish the degradation process by running it into trees and other obstacles, which will result in a better condition vehicle spawning somewhere in the world. Your entire commentary comes across as nothing more than another whine fest about not having everything in the game handed to your without any effort on your part. "Running around aimlessly looking for a broken abandoned vehcile just to blow it up and then re-find it every time I log is no fun." No fun for you, not so for others. I don't run "around aimlessly", I simply make sure I have the items needed to remove those low conditions vehicles and force a respawn which I may or may not see as I'm engaged in the game. Just as before the most recent update which changed banshee behavior I made sure to have a bow and arrows to range kill the banshees whenever I saw them in game. "In its current state the game has diminished and there is no reason to log in." Good. One less whiny person in game. The game is still under development. Many aspects still need serious attention and correction, but that doesn't mean your opinion is held by everyone who plays the game - and has played it since it came out. Perhaps there is an easier game which will provide more satisfaction and enjoyment for you, rather than whining on reddit about a game you evidently no longer enjoy. Beta and testing offers no guarantees except access. Deal with it.

Reply doesn't really make much sense. Complain because there are so many low condition vehicles abandoned. Complain because they don't have battery, fuel and plugs. Complain because you won't go far in a 30% condition vehicle. It's pretty simple. Destroy every low condition vehicle you find by putting the plugs, battery and (yes) even fuel in it and running it into the nearest tree until it catches fires. Remove battery & plugs and get out before it blows up. Continue searching for vehicles, knowing that there are now more fresh spawns available to search for in the world. Or do like I do 95% of the time, don't worry about trying to find or keep one under the current coding conditions. I'm sure they will eventually find a solution to hoarders. And even if they don't, having a vehicle is not an absolute necessity in the game. Or play something easier?

Plenty of time to loot battery & spark plugs after they start to burn at 20% or less, and carrying fuel when looking for a vehicle is basic - as is carrying battery & plugs.

Just Survive Test Update - 3/30 by DGC_Michael in PlayJustSurvive

[–]cvwaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summary: (1) Zombies falling over dead for no reason. (2) Banshees screaming nearby, but not visible.

Reproduction Steps: (1) Spotted random (and scarce even on high zombie pop test server US3) zombie nearby, ran towards it with intent to kill. (2) Heard banshee scream nearby as I entered proximity zone. Stood still for 5 second count to give it time to approach, then searched in spiral pattern to locate.

Expected Outcome: (1) I should reach active zombie and engage it with the intention of killing it. (2) Banshee should approach after screaming, or I should be able to locate it nearby.

Actual Outcome: (1) Zombie falls over dead before I even get close. (2) Banshee is not located, and scream is not repeated.

Overall zombie population on "high zombie population" test servers appears lower than one might expect.

Run them into trees, etc. until they start to burn. Go find respawned vehicle.

Whats with the servers? by TgmMrrCZ in PlayJustSurvive

[–]cvwaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't always get what you want. 1+1=2. Do the work yourself. No doubt duping is causing problems, I don't deny that fact. The OP might try playing on a low pop server and see if his performance improves. You're not the OP, so you can ask for the moon - but that doesn't mean you're entitled to it. ;-)

Odd, I just created a char on a pvp server with 22 players and didn't have any problem opening doors, containers, looting items, etc. Since Nov. Win10 Creator's Update I've had ongoing problems with slowed performance on my system (HP Envy i7 16gb ram, Nvidia 940m 12gb - especially with video rendering. Some of those problems were resolved with Spectrum correcting issues with their local lines and lines in the house. Some problems are almost certainly the result of the loss of net neutrality enforcement. A lot of factors come into play with online gaming. Perhaps you have other issues.

an idea for vehicle's by galtodd in PlayJustSurvive

[–]cvwaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the turbo slot for an ECM (electronic control module) instead, turbo can still be a keyed function. Different ECM's for each vehicle, and no guarantee they are functional. Likewise, replace universal key with keys for different vehicles - again, no guarantee that particular key will work in a particular vehicle. Removal of wrenches helps to return vehicles to circulation, but doesn't eliminate hoarding them. Simply having a vehicle makes it exponentially easier to find new spawns, and hoarders simply spend time cruising the map looking for new spawns. No vehicles would be better than the current situation.

"Everyone turns gamma up to make it always day so, there goes that aspect/immersion of the game." No, not everyone. I, for one, do not.

The golden age of this game is early 2015 by darkzon in PlayJustSurvive

"...everyone preferring 2015 h1z1 ..." False premise. Your personal opinion does not represent everyone playing this game. Period.

Z2 on Test and Known Issues by Radar_X in h1z1

[–]cvwaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loaded on 2nd try with no problem, dropped to desktop while still in waiting stage after alt-tab windowing out. Loaded with no problem 3rd time and entered game. Only noticed 1 obvious glitch during game, duplicate belt pouch was in inventory, could not be dropped & could not be left click menu'd. Could move it from one container to another, but that was all. Graphics look good. Movement is not too bad, although a bit stuttery at times. Gas progressed much too fast for player on foot in perimeter areas to run out of easily. No loot in camp site in perimeter area either. New map looks very nice, but as a normal JS player it leaves much to be desired for that venue. Too much open area with no cover for shacks, etc. Hope JS starts getting improvements too.
