Killed a zombie outside Latrobe, I'm retreating to collect supplies and APs like everyone else now.

Speaking of time zones - I'm in EST. Anyone know what the time difference is between where you guys are and here? If it helps - according to my computer, it's 5 PM right now.

The UK is currently four hours ahead of you. It's just past 9 PM here.

I managed to take down another zed outside Latrobe. Almost out of ammo and AP though. Theres still a large number left up though and Latrobe itself is ruined.

Could do with fuel at halse pd due north of caiger.

PaulyD · 14 Mar 2012 at 22:59

We are 4 hours ahead then as shows up as you posting at 9pm

Haven't run into the server limit yet myself but only run the one character - someone could always put a zombie somewhere key and check them often to see if anything has changed regularly I guess

I'm currently in the hearne building but will retreat back further once AP allows, nearly got stuck outside earlier after standing up!

Good to know, thanks. And yeah, I hit the server limit recently because I have two characters, but I've donated since for this one and haven't had a problem.

I would advise against using another character in the same area, be it zed or survivor. There are safeguards against zerging/alt abuse/whatever you want to call it, and it's generally frowned upon.

I realize that some of the zeds might be doing that, but that doesn't mean we have to sink to their level.

I'm in the Herman building, revived and fully healed. I've got 27 AP - anyone nearby need a revive?

SW and SE clear too and barricaded, SE could use more barricading though. 2 zeds in NW corner

Im completely out of ammo, but once my AP has built up a little more I'll try to get into the mall to help with the cading. Does anyone know if Holoms Auto Repair is available as an entry point? Or if its ruined, where are people using to get into the mall?

I went from Wagner to Holloms Auto Repair straight into Caiger. I think entry point is still St Isidores Church if outside.

edit: can only see one zed in NW corner now

Craig1981 · 15 Mar 2012 at 09:05

Im in Holloms. Just need to let my AP build up by a few more points and I'll risk jumping into the mall. Saw the lights going out in one corner a few minutes ago, hope everythings going ok inside.

Also if all those people in Wagner and other nearby buildings would pile in, we'd probably have a better chance of taking the mall and getting it secured.

looks like Caiger is gone already, just jumped out of NE corner getting munched on, thanks for the heads up about the lights!

Craig1981 · 15 Mar 2012 at 09:21

Gone already?

Oh well. Thanks for the heads up. At least I wont waste any AP jumping into a death trap now.

I think that there is a problem of balance in this game, the odds are stocked too heavily in favour of the zeds. Kill one and he can just stand up and carry on once he has regained some AP, no need to wait for a revive. A survivor gets killed and there's a chance he's going to swell the ranks of the attacking zeds.

No1newts · 15 Mar 2012 at 09:46

I was thinking the same. Should be a higher stand up cost, increased ap regen for survivors over Zeds and Zeds should be named so it will be harder for pk'ers to get ninja revives.

There is a lot more to do but that would be a good start.

Yeah, plus zeds with Ankle Grab can stand up for 1AP =/

MattTheTall77 · 15 Mar 2012 at 11:58

Craig, Hollom barricades are going down a bit, may be worth moving out, only the one zed outside at the moment.

Craig1981 · 15 Mar 2012 at 12:15

Ok. I've moved into Wagner for safety

it1uk · 15 Mar 2012 at 13:10

Im over near the Herman building with a few others.

Zeds are way more powerful than survivors, it's a waste of AP to kill one outside (unless doing it for xp) as like you say they will just stand back up. But their communication skills are lacking leveling the playing field for survivors if they are organised and use broadcasts, speaking etc to mobilise forces.

But at the end of the day, it wouldn't be any fun if survival was easy!

Think that sums it up pretty well. AP should really be to man the cades and if they get in then use to defend and dump them but killing outside is useless unless building the XP.

Every time we build up for the next attack we get so close to achieving it but then fall down at the last stage. Really think if we get all organised and have full AP to take caiger it will be possible. Get a genny in and radio transmitter and shout out to everyone to get to caiger and we will be good.

Currently in Crossman Grove PD stocking up on ammo, got 5 FAKS so far too. Got me the pistol training now so 55% on that and shotgun will help a lot
