Well i died. And saved way too far back. was on day 13 or 14 and i was going to pick up some army rations. When i was picking them up i have my first black ops encounter. They snipe me and kill me in one hit.

They suck much less when you get their GPS. Then they're still deadly, but you can avoid them better.

Yeah i heard of those things. When do you think alpha 5 will come out?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Next week at least.

[1piemaster1]

Cool , I was hoping it would come out this week though.

Need alpha 5, I just lost a 33 day character and would have lotsa fun ressucting as whatever killed me

Wow nice! Me too.

Woot i got a sewer maintenance hideout barricaded with cars, home-made fortifications and a shelf i also got a few guns and ammo in the basement area of it with some food, i'm going to make a guard post with tons of food for a follower to be stuck in there and just shoot incoming enemies when i sleep. Time to make a hq in sewers

[Pnx]

Seems far too harsh to me, I have immense amounts of problems keeping up with food and supplies, everything gets looted in the first day or so, and oddly enough I've noticed the survivors don't seem to drop their gear during simulation, so it all just disappears.

[USEC_OFFICER]

When survivors die, each item has a chance to be destroyed. I have no idea what the actual percentage is.

Food is pretty easy once the army comes, just watch out for black ops later on ((

[Pnx]

The longest I've survived is 4 days 3 hours... with a crossbow wielding maniac who spent a lot of time shooting zombies from on top of a car in front of his hideout.

I'm guessing it gets a bit easier if you can survive till the army comes.

[1piemaster1]

Yeah it does. Cause they drop a ton of army rations and medkits. You should use a hunting rifle by the way.

I haven't used a crossbow on any of my characters so far, firearms are just so much better. 

On the topic of crossbows, it would be epic to have an aiming system in rogue survivor like DF has.  Shoot out the zombies kneecaps and their speed is dramatically reduced.  Shoot a zombie master's shoulders out and he can't open doors.  If your character has their gun hand mangled they will have to get the leadership skill and a few followers to defend you.

It does get easier, but only for a bit. I always found that a healthy offense makes life a great deal easier. patrol during the day and kill off whatever zombies you can, especially if they are attack wounded survivors, as the more you kill greatly lessens the amount of evolved undead that you will encounter. Also, a car fort helps immensely. A wall of cars blocking you entryway prevents everything but zombie masters from getting in, so hordes become less of a problem.

I made it to the point where they were dropping supplies, coincidentally two of them were right next to my hideout, which was awesome. But I was running terminally low on ammo so I stashed most of my gear and made a run for the police station, thinking the armory there would be my best shot at more shotgun ammo, but when running from an evolved zombie, I rounded a corner and ran into a biker, who then pummeled my face in.
