When the standalone comes out it will be like the old days when the TL server first started.
I'll make sure my sniper rifle is warmed up and ready for that
I will be ready, but be aware, I am the one who took out 3 moving targets at 1000 meters with 4 shots. Mani might remember that, he was next to me.
edit: oh yeah, I remember you. Our score is pretty even iirc, let's settle the score
Yeah I remember we had some battle north of cherno a couple of times, my friend and I used to snipe way up in the hills. But I hope the mechanics will be a lot better in SA so you don't have stupid deaths like accidentally pressing V or changing weapon which takes 3 years. :D
They should do something about zombies before releasing the standalone too, because they're totally nuts in current version. Like you can't kill a zombie indoors with a handgun without having the whole town on your back then, so you can't loot stary's tents where there is a zombie for example, or you'll aggro it, have to kill it and/or run to loose it, therefore aggroing more etc.. The fact that they can hit you in cars feels pretty stupid too, like you're in a fucking bus with half HP and a zombie hits you while you cross a town and you die, after repairing the bus for 30mn.. I preferred dumb zombies that didn't talk to each other or whatever the new are doing, it really feels to hard to do anything in town

I remember hearing about it, was it by the Stary ?
Yes, it was between Stary and Novy. I was counter sniping with tofu and shootemup that night, but I had to go eat dinner so I logged off for about 20 minutes. When I came back I heard that they died, and mani, BK, and a few others were hunting these guys down, while tofu and shootemup were running back up from the coast to get their gear. When I logged on mani was near by in a sniping spot south of stary(the one that counters the sniper hill), so I joined him, while the others were in a gunfight with the enemy near novy. Eventually we spotted them running between novy/stary, and that is when I took those shots. The first shot was my favourite, because it was a headshot and the guy was moving left-right on the screen at 1000 meters. I guessed the distance correctly because I had a waypoint set to novy that was 1200 meters. I think mani zeroed at 800 and came up short with his shots.
Remember folks, it's a CAPACITY test. There is nothing to stream. We're testing the envelope for performance with players + zombies + loot and trying out different mechanics to get some metrics. There is zero gameplay and zero of anything nice to see, except the new terrain improvements, the new sky, and the new buildings. All of that you've already seen. But it's a good step.
