The random number generator was kind on a morning run of Coastal City this morning - I got an M4.

Pistoled some bears on my way out and then spotted the only other dude on the server investigating the shots. I opted to get the M4 back and learn it, but wanted to take him down. He was clearly hunting me.

PVP server WAS raided last night. Doesn't look like they used C4 or got anything. Some kind of barricade ladder.

Ya. That's a popular way to scale buildings now. More popular than stairs. You can build, and jump through, barricades on pillars. Some people call it an exploit. Some people call it creative. Devs recently removed the ability to place barricades on top of barricades. So then they discovered that pillars injected into the structure allowed it to still work. I'm guessing this will be addressed someday. But probably not any time soon. The only security that I've found to be sound is depth. Not height. Almost worth building a 1 story structure as wide and long as you can. All ceilings. Make doors all the way to the center.

But even more effective, in my opinion, is still the idea of multiple small hideouts scattered all over the place. Minimize losses.

OH, actually, the best base I've seen are the ones in rocks. You can place sleeping bags on the ground inside of rocks. Then suicide right next to it. When you res, you are in the rock and you can loot your body. Build your base in there. You can walk out of the rock.

An unannounced patch hit today. No idea what it covered.

I want to try something in game. I need a volunteer or two... Let's just make it two.

Oh, and someone to film it in game.

Homophobe.

No, but really, I need one person to stand completely still, and another is going to get to go on an adventure. You're both probably going to die though...

I have one at 4469 486.

Well hidden and out of the way, but still 30 seconds from Big Civ and on top of tons of resources. I have a great overview of a LARGE portion of the map.

Same door codes. Feel free to drop bye, move in, whatever.

I plan to eventually move my stuff off the first floor up towards the top. Once I get over the mountains...

Also, one quick note: Be cautious about what you say in chat even if our group is the only ones on.

Anyone can do a /history and see the last 12-20 lines of chat, even from days ago. So if we want to hide houses, coordinates, or even targets, plans and affiliations, don't say them in chat or spam them off the list when you're done talking.

Dropped off:
BAR
Silencer

164 planks
500+ wood

And you realize you are 2 C4 from being completely wiped out.

Steam code for what?

I'd be fine. That's not my only house. Hell, there was a time that I had no doors, and wasn't worried.

I've seen nobody west of Civ Coast that isn't you or Tas.

He's bugged out of a server, hasn't been able to log in for 2 days now. We're trying to unbug it.

Edit: The PVP server reset this morning to remove durability... I didn't find it too bad. Should have fixed the issue?

I think durability is a bit out of whack at the moment. They've got to tweak the numbers. I shouldn't break a pickax after using it a single day. On top of that, I think the overall health takes way too much of it whenever you repair something.

Is it bad enough I should go looking for a mod? Or wait a bit to see if the next update tweaks it first?

I think it helps the social dynamic, actually. Bullets are seriously expensive in resources, noise, and durability.

I agree with Troy. Durability is a big deal is terms of long term fighting. It adds the element that I talk about elsewhere when discussing the game with Cake. It makes a war of attrition more possible.

I just think they're going to need to tweak it some.

I'd actually favor leaving guns where they are, and adjusting the durability for tools.
