You can kill people without becoming a bandit, though. I haven't played all that much, and I've only encountered 8 players other than my friends. 4 of those players shot at me and another almost did, but I realized what he was going to do and shot him first. Only one of those guys was a bandit. On May 21 2012 10:25 Belisarius wrote: I'm kind of confused as to how logging out works. I'm tempted by this but I'm realistically never going to be able to play for more than like 1-2 hours at a time. Is it even remotely worth it? And what about bugs and server crashes? Does your loot survive/transfer from server to server? Like, @dude-who's-apparently-some-total-spec-ops-badass: aren't you worried you'll... I don't know... have this happen: ..and lose all your stuff? The bug only happens when you have a handgun out, and you can avoid falling by hitting prone the instant you get to the top.

It's more about whether I'd even be able to find enough food/water/whatever in an hour to survive till my next logon, let alone get ahead. Does environmental stuff like dropped loot eventually disappear? Does it go through the data server? Like, complicated scenario, let's say I find some NVGs as a total noob, and die to a bug/zombie in some remote place, and then the server crashes or I can't reconnect. Am I doomed, or can I join a different server and run like hell to where I died? What if I find them, decide I'm not worthy of them right now, and hide them in a random bush in the middle of nowhere. Could I come back in like three weeks and get them? (assuming nobody stumbled upon them, obviously). Because that would be awesome. Hunger and thirst don't accumulate while offline, so I don't see why the first thing is an issue. Items and entities outside a player's inventory are serverside and are not saved across servers. Some things save through server crashes and restarts, though. Loot and zombies in a small area around the player are removed upon login, and while u can leave an item on the ground, it's safer to put it into a camping tent (works like a storage chest). The tents remain on the same server and from what I understand, they don't work yet and they even remain while you're logged off. So.....anything in the tent could get stolen. Then again, the map is freaking huge, at 225 square km it's 8 times the size of Skyrim/Cyrodiil, and bigger than the Marshall Islands.

There are servers worldwide, and tons of them. 2. You need the expansion Operation Arrowhead. | ||

If they don't accumulate then I'm confused as to why my character is always fine when I log off, yet dying of thirst and hunger when I log in. | ||

That's a bug that happens to some people. Sorry about that, no idea how to fix it. On May 22 2012 09:38 jtype wrote: Anyone know a server which is on a day phase right now? I'm new to the game and don't want to jump in on a night-time start, can't really get my bearings easily. I've bounced around a few different servers at various locations, but they've all been on a night phase. Is the server time related to the real world location? Or is it possible to find EU/East-Cost US servers now for some day-time action? A lot of servers say the timezone in the name, use that. For example, Virginia #20 is set to UTC+4, so it'll be daytime there when it's night on the east coast. EDIT: I'm gonna add my own story. On Saturday evening, I went on a server with a couple of my friends. They found each other quickly, and I, by luck, spawned on the opposite side of Cherno from them. So I snuck around the top side of the city and eventually met up with them, avoiding other players and zombies on the way. We were short on medical supplies, so one of my friends suggested we go to a military tent nearby. By this point it's really dark, to the point where I can't see my friends even when I bump right into them. So we try to head north sneakily, and we find a house of some sort. We pause there for a bit while a friend goes afk, and right as he comes back, a zombie crawls up to us and attacks. My friend takes him down, but the gunshot alerts 25 zombies, so the three of us start running like mad. We get to a field on the side of a hill, and try to take the zombies down while running round like headless chickens lol. Problem is, I'm using a Makarov, and can't see anything. I was using the light emitted from muzzle flashes to aim....somehow, we avoided shooting each other and I only used up two mags, taking out 8 of the zombies. | ||

This game could be good, but dealing with all these updates/downloading these files is becoming a big pain. | ||

Made my way to an elevated steel platform with two staircases on either end. I lit up the ground with a flare to get a view of my surroundings. At least 1 Zombie. I went prone to make as little noise as possible while crawling from end to end of the platform, but somehow the Zombie noticed me anyway, so I took him out with my first shot of the game. Feeling confident, but there's the worry of alerting other Zombies in the area. I stood up from my prone position, but as I was hanging over the edge of the platform I fell straight to the ground, breaking my legs. I only noticed after a second or two that I'd landed right next to another Zombie. After killing him and 10 subsequent Zombies that came to investigate and being unable to move anywhere with my demolished legs, I finally gave in to the next Zombie that came my way. A short, shameful and brutal introduction to Chernarus. I love it. | ||

The game doesn't offer ways out of situations and death is always lurking around the corner. Think every action through :D | ||
