Man.... all the GAFfers who were in that DE1 server with us last night are going to be so pissed when they log back in to the game and realize that nothing they did in that server the entire night was saved correctly or even mattered at all.
Still, after all that BS on the laggy Denmark server, we ended up switching to Chicago where it was miraculously day time.... Wait, did I say Chicago? I actually meant Dallas... Sorry guys.
We had one hell of a run through the coastal towns with a group of about 6 people including Mickey, AJ, and... damn... all I remember was the codenames we used- Generic White Dude, Braveheart, Orignal Braveheart/Crossbow/House Killer/Rambo/Sniper Braveheart (really, you were a man of many, many names). Chernogorsk was our play area and we had a wild time there. We all met up in the church near the coast, which provided a few Hollywood worthy scenes. The greatest one, of course, was when Mickey opened up the double church doors and immediately got shot in the face. I've seen that very same thing in dozens of movies but I don't think I've ever actually experienced it in a way that felt as visceral as that one did.
After that, we had a fair bit of tension when a member of our group ran in with a random. We all kept our eye on the dude wondering if we should just go ahead and kill him or not because he could have been part of the bandit group that was keeping us holed up in the church. Luckily, he ended up disconnecting, so we never had to worry about it at all.
After Mickey reunited with us at the church, we went ahead and crawled our way over to the general store and looted it for a while before some random survivor managed to draw a crap ton of Zombie aggro to himself and then brought damn near the entire group of Cherno zombies around the general store. All of the building's doors were closed, but the zombies still decided to ghost their way in. We probably killed about 70 or so zombies by that point and also shot that stupid survivor to death. Must have felt satisfying for the person who got the actual kill (probably Mickey).
After that encounter, we got chased towards some building where we climbed up to the roof and threw a smoke grenade out, drawing all the aggro off of us. One us died on the way there with a frag grenade still in his backpack, so we ran back to get it and then launched it off the roof towards one of the Zed groups that had gathered around there, killing quite a few of them. Pretty exciting to watch, I must say.
Unfortunately, I DCed right after that and when I got back on, everyone had left mumble for the night. Oh well, it was a ton of fucking fun.
Once you add a way to save items on death like storage boxes this mod is broken, for what I can see this game is hugely risk v reward.
There is a system like that in place in a way though and I still wouldn't call it broken. All of your loot remains on your last body in the server and you can retrieve it all if you get to it before somebody else does. In addition to that, you can store stuff in tents, but those can also be looted by anybody else in the server.
Though I think we're all still way behind Gibbonz lol
