I have the six launcher and it works fine but the planets would not align last night so i couldn't join, stuck at the loading screen. I dived in a Dallas server and am slowly making my way up to the area , currently just North of Electro, spawned at Kamnka. Fingers crossed for a join in the other server tonight.

Yeah, last night was a little weird. I logged on for a few minutes in the evening and the server crashed. It came back up 10 minutes later but the server time had jumped 6 hours ahead. Sunday there was a lot of trouble with syncing characters, lag spikes, etc. Hopefully things will iron themselves out.

PS. Nice work on the camp and the vehicles. Looked like a lot of thought and work went into them. Will try to contribute when I can

Dr. Meltdown yeah that was me. Good times, it was fun trying to find you. You're on your way to having some decent gear already.

So the camp is compromised, but I dont think they found the cabin. 3 people jumped me while unloading the truck at the tents. They took the truck.

Mars got killed when he spawned in around them. We hooked up, and actually had a firefight w/ the guys in the truck. We lost tho. I hope I beat that truck up good, it took about half a clip of AKM.

I took the Scooby Van, and hid it on the trail west of Khelm. Hopefully this thread is anonymous enough to prevent bandits finding it. If anyone can think of a really good hiding spot, go ahead and move it. This one's not bad, but pretty close to Berezino, so I don't like it much.

I saw a red car running around on our server too.

Ugh. Worst Sorry about that guys.

I'm curious if the "fortification" tools might help us to defend our stashes?

Not unless you want to stand around the camp 24 hrs a day.

By nature, any camp we setup depends on nobody stumbling on it. Even the cleverest, best hidden spot can be discovered if someone happens to just run over it. The restrictions on placing tents makes it even more difficult, since they can't be hidden between spruce trees and the like.

I sort of enjoy the challenge. I think parking the truck at the camp gave it away, they just followed the engine sound, and saw the truck on the hill. If I would've parked at the cabin, we could've lost all our vehicles instead of just our camp position.... so things didn't turn out too bad.

There are tents stashed at both the Berezino camp and the Black Lake camp. Keep your eyes out for a nice hiding spot, and see if you can get a tent to pitch. We need a new base.

Or we could just switch servers and use the same location. I wouldn't mind a hardcore server without crosshair, since its makes spotting people so easy.

Sounds like a great idea. Anything to increase our stealth/survivability.

Lets do the new server on hardcore for sure, that spot is great and we rather know it, just cant put the name of new home on forums :}

And lets focus on that for a bit, new server and a 2nd stash spot closer to the coast ! lol

It was a strange night for me ingame, tired and dinners about 20 min away from done i log in to run to a stand or 2 and gather some more autos ................3 deaths later and more wiser i log out to watch top gear.

I will be on tonight for a bit getting my new guy gear and heading N. Maybe i can grab a ride on that red car i had eyes on last night .

Darkcyde,

Last night, didn't you mention you saw crows circling above when you were moving about?

Rocket is taking inquiries on whether to implement a new humanity system which would have flies or crows circling above if someone had low humanity. I for one do not like the idea, but he mentioned he may have added it without telling anyone to see how ppl handle it. Not saying it was you guys last night, but rather someone nearby may have had low humanity. Rocket may have been testing without anyones knowledge.

Section Eight, I did not know that. Last night I was sneaking out of a town, I had seen no players there. In a field of bushes and trees on the way out, I noticed a couple of crow shadows going around in circles. I continued on my way after looking at them flying for a couple of seconds. Perhaps another player was hiding nearby there. It was a veteran server, so no tags were on.

US23 and US25 are great servers that run hardcore and the betas.
