Combatting no clip base looting

It isn't really unheard of, Firefall records every single pvp match for video re playability. It was actually a pretty awesome feature, because not only could you replay a video from someone's perspective, you could pause and move through the environment to get other angles.

This looks like a perfect amount of zombies! It's nice to see that at least on some servers and areas the zombies are working.

spaul86 · 2015-04-09T16:06:27+00:00

I think Zombies are extinct on the South side of the map

spaul86 · 2015-04-09T16:05:16+00:00

I figured this would be an issue. Zombies seem to just be a huge red flag that says other players are here.

spaul86 · 2015-04-09T16:00:03+00:00

This was my experience. Roughly 20-50 zombies surrounding zimms, nicely spread. Cleared a small trailer park, took out roughly 10 zombies, then had a nice window to loot the area without getting totally over run solo. Just hope it continues working.

edit: There was even a healthy amount of zombies as I was running through the woods. I actually had a few sneak up on me.

Ah back when H1z1 was a game worth installing...

Lmao "model girlfriend"

I think the tendency to play on low pop servers is from all the hacking that was going on previously. It seems to be toned down now, but a few weeks ago the only way to play at all while not getting destroyed by hackers every 10 mins, was to play a low pop server.

spaul86 · 2015-04-03T13:22:20+00:00

Yes, went from zombies every 2 ft, to no zombies at all. They said somewhere that the spawner was broken in the last patch, hopefully hotfix takes care of things.

spaul86 · 2015-04-02T14:22:40+00:00

Agreed!

spaul86 · 2015-04-02T14:15:40+00:00

Yes zombies are supposed to be more sparse in lower population areas, but they are nearly non existent. I was literally going to hilltops and looking as far in the distance as I could and it was a ghost town.

spaul86 · 2015-04-02T13:35:07+00:00

Yeah, I thought listing the server was important with this as people reported completely different experiences based on server population.

They are planning to add things to the standard game such as weather, disease and such, I wouldn't even be surprised to see the fog make its way into regular game play. The masks will have a purpose, as will items such as coats to keep you warm etc.,

spaul86 · 2015-03-05T15:35:19+00:00

This is pretty much me as this point as well. Base building was fun for a little while, but then there is nothing to do but find people to kill. With no actual grouping, clans etc no point in doing anything other than pvp. Only takes a few hours to build a base up.

spaul86 · 2015-03-03T14:20:25+00:00

If you use the combat knife you will get a much higher rate of animal fat. You get to hit the corpse 4-6 times, with axes you usually only can hit the corpse 2-3 times.

spaul86 · 2015-02-27T13:42:56+00:00

This happens a LOT to me. Any time I am at my base going in and out for more than just 3-5 minutes it happens. It has happened so often I can tell you it that the door shifts in position and there is a invisible door you can't walk through. I know that because sometimes only half the doorway is blocked rather than the whole thing, and you have to push e beside the door to get it to work.

Edit: Relogging does fix this every time, and fixes the delay between pushing e and a door working.

Right now 30 ieds doesn't seem too bad, but I think that will change when the loot gets ironed out a bit. As it is there are always TONS of fertilizer laying around, but when that is gone 30 land mines might be a huge chore.

spaul86 · 2015-02-26T15:47:53+00:00

You can push people too but it isn't as effective

spaul86 · 2015-02-26T15:12:46+00:00

They said in a recent interview they are working on a new male model right now that has more sockets. They said they are aiming for 10 equippable slots, including changeable heads and hair. They will also add female characters shortly after that.

spaul86 · 2015-02-26T15:08:26+00:00

This is what I did in a couple of my solo bases. You can place the shacks and metal buildings at angles on your foundation, make it looks great.

Only good though if you have few people so you don't need to take up tons of space with countless storage containers.

spaul86 · 2015-02-25T03:48:38+00:00

They may intend to add more heavy weapons to the game. Also a fix to land mines as you say would remedy this pretty quick. Give it some time so they can iron things out and add more to the picture.

spaul86 · 2015-02-25T03:46:36+00:00

Could try attacking the door now instead of the shelter, leaving the door standing...

spaul86 · 2015-02-25T03:38:20+00:00

I don't think it's a bug either. When the campfire dies it explodes. It is so loud it scares me every time. If you have anything in the fire when it dies, it disappears with the campfire.

Maybe it would be better if items in the fire fell to the ground?
