    Hey urahonky we're in the same fire station!

    Created Arrath, firefighter. Smacked some zombies around and got back into safety before I bottomed out of AP.

    I screwed up my first firefighter and ran out of AP one step short of getting into my safehouse on day 1. While I could technically continue playing, I decided to go ahead and make another firefighter and not screw up this time.

    I can't ever kill zombies, I get them down to like 23 hit points before I need to head back to the safehouse. I guess eventually I'll get hand to hand combat, which will help.

    H2H will pretty much solve that for you most likely.

    Yeah, once you get Hand to Hand, you'll be able to kill players with AP to spare. If I go out hunting I can easily kill someone from 60 HP and get back safely.

    You guys should make a zombie and help crack safe houses. I'll open the doors for you. Seems my dude is fully skilled.

    You know, as soon as I said this I went outside to kill a zombie and missed 75% of the time and walked back to the safehouse with with nothing but shame. lol

    And for anyone coming back to the game, accounts are never deleted so yes, all your stuff is still there.

    The same thing just happened with my new fireman, except that I pushed my luck and ran out AP before I could get back to a safehouse. I'm currently stuck next to a zombie, who's probably going to be pretty pissed with me when he logs back on.

    Oh nice :) I like to log out in that fire station, seems pretty safe. If you go W then N, you'll run into a group of zombies. That's how I get my EXP right now. But I only hit them like 3 times out of the 40 times I try.

    I dunno what to get first. I think HtH combat because right now I'm just going to to whack a zombie or two and then back into a safehouse. Seems HtH would speed up xp gain over Free Running.


    EDIT: Hmm, some player killed another player in my safehouse. Wonder what all that was about. I dumped his body outside for xp though!

    XP is difficult to come by until you realize that healing people is an easy 5 XP, and you stay in a hospital or mall just healing people for a few weeks.

    Lief Mainz - Scout
    I'm currently undead in a cemetery next to St. Isidore's Church in Osmondville since my free running apparently didn't allow to get into the building as I thought yesterday. Anyway, before I croaked I was just basically running from building to building dumping bodies as I could since my combat skills are turrrrrrible. Is this more or less a good strategy for Scouting until I can get some decent combat skills? Also, I'm totally down for meeting up somewhere once I can get a revive.

    A building near a police station or hospital would be good, but not in one because they get raided a lot depending on where you're at. I'd avoid malls too, personally.

    Malls are the best place to search for equipment tho. So it's kind of a trade-off.

    Do we want a relatively safer location? Or do we want easier access to stuff?

    I would think that easier access to stuff would be best. I mean, revivification is a fairly simple process, right?

    I love this game, but it is insanely easy. Played for about 8 months now and have never died on my main character.
    Turns out if you don't log on for awhile your character disappears from the target list, several times i wouldn't log on for like a week and the mall that I was in, who normally has about 200 people in it would be completely sacked, and like 40 zombies would be inside, yet I would be unharmed.

    Eh, reviving costs 10AP, so it's kind of a drag.

    I'd go for the safer route personally, maybe a generic building or warehouse that's centrally located between a mall/police dpt. and a hospital.

    Sounds well enough to me. I'll check the wiki map to find a nice spot.

    Do we want to set up in the SW corner? It's all low threat at the moment.

    I'm in Wyke Hills so that sounds good to me, haha.

    Should make a poll or something.

    Who's up for establishing a base in the "SW corner"? We can make up all the particulars later, but for now we'll be super vague.

    Actually, Scarletwood is a bit further east, and is looking really nice. Surrounded by safe zones, it has 2 hospitals, a police station, and a warehouse right next to each other. And I'm in motherfucking Pitneybank, so I need to be moving soon.

    Yeah, if you don't log in for a week I believe it makes you go inactive and takes you off the map.

    Best part of Scarletwood is that many of the surrounding zones are traditionally devoid of zombie activity. It's a relatively safe neighborhood.

    And Blesley Mall is a day's hike up north.

    So it's either Scarletwood or Wyke Hills? That works; I'm in Earletown still (AKA, top of the map vs. bottom), so it'll take me a bit to shamble down to either place, regardless.

    I know at least 3 of us are up in the northeast-ish or were at least. I'll probably stick around here and stock up on supplies as where I'm at has a free running lane of VSB+ and powered buildings across almost 2 suburbs with access to a few hospitals, FD, PD, garage and NT building.

    I'm coming from Kempsterbank so it will take me a couple of days as well.
