pacer

*update* finally bogged down to every save game asking for the CD now.......... i can no longer start any saved game. what a joke. and GSC is staying hush on it all and Tages guys are no help either. time to shelve this game i think. wonder if best buy will take it back ;( *disclaimer* this is just my personal opinion. it seems others can play just fine.

in agroprom NW corner in the swamptheres some stalkers fighting zombies. reward for helping was the upgraded suit. It's really not that bad for bugs at all. honestly, as long as you patch to 1.5.04 it fixes alot, however the copy protection they use is horrid TAGES i constantly get crashes " insert CD blah blah blah" just hit one that no longer allows me into dark valley every time i zone in it crashes. can't find a way around it yet, tried 3 different CD drives and 4 different save games. i have tried all entrances to DV and even tried to hitch a ride with a guide. no joy, they all crash me looks like my clearsky days are done for a while :(:(

snagged me a fully upgraded stalker suit ammo is rediculousy available in CS im noticing. im used to SOC : OL atm so im hoarding lol. over 2000 AK rounds and 1500 rnds for my TR lol. swiped a vintorez off a dead stalker in agroprom too

its better and worse all at once. mutants are rarer, but tougher lol anomilies are fewer as well. still got the feel of stalker tho. heh blind dogs are a pain lol. i am definatly having to scavenge more to survive in this zone vs SoC zone. been to dark valley, agroprom, garbage and the like and im still wearing my nub leather jacket. i have like 200 RU atm because i'm pumping everything into my TRs 301. only halfway upgraded upgrades and repairs are EXPENSIVE.

so basically, lets say me and a small group of my friends go to EA and demand they add space marines to warhammer. since i am the customer, should i get what i want? we could debate both sides of this till we are blue in the face and the cows are leaving in the morning again, and not come to an agreeable decision. back on topic

ahh old rule number 1. lol any customer service job is a fine line you have to walk. make them happy, but also in the end, make a profit for you or your company. you do what you can withing reason to ensure customer happiness, but in the end, there are still lines you must draw. and once someone finds these lines, they always begin to push to see if they can get more. it is human nature

i have removed 2 posts posts as i feel they were contributing nothing to this discussion other than an attempt to derail and incite. you continue to claim that 1/2 to 3/4 of the player base is a CM and they all suck blah blah blah. 13 or so CM's and 9 GM's to cover 3 servers (5 kingdoms) 24 hours a day and an average population of roughly 300 or so at a given time. hmm you do the math there. some agree with the idea of a CM, some don't. in the end, it's Rolf's decision and he does what he feels is best for HIS game. as to the OP's ideas the CM's currently are usually very active (4 + hours / day). as to forum moderation, its a give and take, and not every CM moderates the forum. no matter how / what is done, there will always be those that either don't agree with the system, or just flat out try to bend break every rule they can

yes, this is the exact feature that rolf and notch implemented. has been this way for what 2 years or more. as it stands, of all upkeep money paid, 1/2 is removed from game ( to be recuirculated at the online shop) and 1/2 is given to the king to be redistibuted back to traders. also, purchase of certain items, the money is sent direct to king or the "craftsmen" who created the item. the original design thought was that everyone would purchase the 1 month 5 silver option, but everyone instead chooses the 2 month prem time for the same price.

bingo. thats about what anyone does afaik. since wood type is pretty pointless for fuel atm the only use here is for crafters. so maybe an option to split off say 4 kg. gives enough to work with and still leaves the 20 kg for burn. can then be used 6 times per log for carpenters.

Cover is your friend....... lemme say that again... cover is your friend lol artifacts are also wicked hard to find, and worth big dollars. the crappy jellyfish from SoC i just sold for 2500 RU to a stalker trader. its the only artifact i have found so far as well. [me=Pacer]whips out detector and proceeds to hunt some more[/me]

not very far into it atm, but very good so far. hard to tell how the mutants will be as i've only seen 2 types atm ( boars and blind dogs) but the AI for the NPC ( military, bandits, other stalkers) is awesome so far lol. still some stupid things happen here and there, but good use of tactics for the most part. swamp was kinda fun wandering around in trying to take part in the faction war. cordon seems to be lacking alot of anomolies, so did alot of swamp. not much to speak of in the way of mutants either. upgradeable armor and weapons is awesome. there are tech trees for them now (kinda) where you choose what upgrades you want etc. artifacts have been changed alot too, and you armour affects how many you can wear. ( see the mechanic to add arti slots to armour). my trusty PB-1 (silenced) has been modified to -20% recoil, larger magazine and + 50% accuracy atm. swiped an ak-47 off the military at cordon and now its modded to +100% flatness(bullet trajectory) + 40% accuracy, -50% recoil atm my crappy nub starter jacket has max arti pouches (2) + 50% to whichever resists and a bump to armour and +5 kg to carry capacity. overall, it seems they went heavy toward the beefing of NPC's and tactics etc, but the amount of anomolies and mutants feels lacking atm for a zone in chaos ;(

hahahahahaahahh. i got clear sky i got clear sky just installed and patched, will let ya know how it goes

in the vanilla version, i only remember 5-6 total iirc agroprom, x16 ( ghost), bloodsucker village, possibly 1 in x19? i forget, and i think there was one in pripyiat, and possibly one in NPP itself. been a while since i played vanilla. in OL mod i've seen 5 so far up to army warehouses ( 3 in warehouse area itself) bloodsuckers are everywhere usually, cant find kill stats for them but i have killed 87 zombies up to red forest so far lol

army warehouse, border of red forest. freedom holds this border usually in vanilla. in OL ive seen various holders, from monolith troops to a controller. havent seen duty this far north yet, but do find freedom troops dead in bar and duty dead in freedom base quite often

heh, i'd love to sneak up on them, but anytime a controller is around, it affects the entire area.for me anyway, i get this wierd moaning effect every few seconds,sounds like zombie on the wind kinda deal, and the screen kinda fades to greyish then back and you get that wobble. it's not his long range attack, it was something added in with OL that i havent found a way to get rid of.

in vanilla yea, they are too easy. grab a wall and peek over few shots to the nugget. done. im prolly going to set myself up for a let down, but i really hope clear sky has an OL mod feel to it

do you play the OL mod at all? anytime a controller is around i get wierd effects. moaning sound and screen gets all fuzzy every few seconds. not its normal long range attack either. makes controllers extremely dangerous as you cant really aim. agroprom was a pain due to that . messing with my head the whole time. a controller attacked freedom base and wiped out half of them before falling. he had a slew of zombies with him. had to have been a dozen scattered on the bridge when i got there to help take him down. speaking of, anyone heard anything about the 1.1 freeplay patch yet? i heard they leaked a beta of it, but don't expect it until spring

oblivion lost mod never ceases to amaze me. after i went to see doctor and came out of the underground, 10 bandits trying to go in lol bloodsucker lair: 6 suckers, 1 very PO'd controller and 5 dwarves. hid in the tower with my vss vintorez and 1000 rounds controller attack on the barrier that freedom controls and fights monolith at. i came running to help...... everyone was now zombiefied and i had to kill the entire freedom patrol. bloodsucker in garbage omw back to cordon. talk about changing shorts anytime after a blowout, everything is in full rampage lol rats everywhere usually

i have 10 titles atm and if i wanted to stay on as much as gavin, i have about 10 more or so about to break 50 ( all in 45+ range, no real desire to grind em) its really not that hard to get everything to 50, which alot of those titles are. the gimme's are kill titles, so no grinding involved there. so 19 titles in a year. thats not bad really. especially since half of them were 50 skill titles

i would, but i'm saving up for a new game called Clear Sky that's comming out

wonderful addition i must say, but just an FYI, theres a minor bug in it. while smithing. havent heard anything about other professions. when the icon turns to lump, it will stick on showimg lump for the next action. imp with lump, now need hammer, it will still show lump. once you then imp with hammer it will get back to updating. just seems like the first action after lump icon causes it to get stuck for an action. tested this with more than one person to ensure it just wasnt me

LOLOLOL man that is a riot. hate to be the guy who has to change that tho lol @ soleca, Christopher Lambert mate

yea, that was just a poke at all the lawsuits that were filed to prevent this thing from firing up. heck, even the guys that made the atom bomb weren't sure exactly what would happen, and thought it might even create an uncontrolled reaction in the atmosphere, thereby destroying the world. as to the stuff i added, was more to start a tech talk i spose, im a junkie for the newest stuff that comes out lol. all these things right on our horizon, and here i remember playing pong and thought the atari was hot stuff when it came out lol

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/09/10/lhc.collider/index.html now what do do with all this water and food i stocked up on.... lol kidding. on to a serious note, do we really think that they will find what they are looking for? it has been said, " there will be more technological breakthru's in the next 20 years than have happened in the last 2000" heres on that i think will be fun once they get it mainstreamedhttp://www.eink.com/kits/amepd.html i'll take one of these too http://www.universaldisplay.com/default.asp?contentID=591 still waiting to see if these work or not http://www.alpern.org/weblog/stories/2003/01/09/projectionKeyboards.html post up your cool gadgets on your waiting list
