Just need one more hit with my axe to get the last of my XP for free running... but sadly, after thirty AP of attacking , I did not land a single hit.

Happened to me on my cop alt, Spent 35 ap swinging a Baseball bat didnt land a single one.

Heh. That's my alt as well. We can totally set up a second little dominion in Wykewood!

Monster Rain wrote:Heh. That's my alt as well. We can totally set up a second little dominion in Wykewood!

Lets totally do that. I've got so many FAKs that i should be unable to walk so that covers healing. You've got all the combat skills, right?

Thats a pretty good start, i was saving up for a combat skill but i could purchase something more supportive instead now. What would be most useful? I've got enough XP to buy any science or civilian skill now.

Has anyone else got an alt that wants to join us?

Oh and we need a name.

Edit: I took Necrotech employment and i'll be able to pick up another skill once i've used 5 more FAKs.

What do you think about moving our operation to The Selway Building? It's not far away from where we are now and it's very near a PD and Hospital. It's further south too so there should be more Zeds.

I'll ponder a suitable name while I'm in class.

I think the Samborne Walk Police Station is a pretty good base of operations for now. I know it's a bit crowded, but I'd like to have a bit more skill acquired before we strike out on our own.

Also, for our people in Chudleyton, there's 6 zombies at the Vetch Building.

Updates: included latest Military reports, gave updates on zombie activity, updated characters, added initials to the characters that don’t match up with screennames (so I can update more easily)

AFAIK i have already volunteered for the attack group...

Sorry, I tried to get everyone that made it clear, but a few slipped through the cracks.

Updated.

No worries...
I keep finding pistol clips but nothing else...

Lol, Grakmar you still count me as "undeclared" despite me inventing the teams and immediately saying I'm support.

Doctor's Law: I'm heading down to find some kit, Monster but i'll be back. Just shout if you need a heal and i'll be back even sooner.

Casey's Law: I'm working towards my next Military Skill. A couple of axe hits and i'll be on my way back to Kenefie to resupply my ammo. There are a lot of Zeds at the mall but i've missed 90% of my attacks.

Zombie's Law: I also have a zed alt down in the bottom right of Malton and i know Morathi's zed alt is nearby. Anyone else got a zed?

Now located in Bowell ( nyuk) building, will be venturing out soon.
I don't have much to offer as of yet in the way of skills, but will serve the group in any manner in which I can.

I FINALLY have free running on my scientist.

You have Free Running (Can move between adjacent buildings without stepping outside.)

Gonna get construction next.

Back in action, went purely shopping.

I now have 10 FAKS and 2 Syringes.

I got two faks and healed a guy with both of them. Somehow almost reached the IP limit though, so I'm ognna lay off for today and wait until tomorrow for more of those delicious APs.

The IP limit is about to reset (in ~2 hours). It resets at midnight, London time.

Fixed.

And, I don't think you ever explicitly said you wanted to go support...

After Construction, gonna get Diagnosis and then get all the medical and necrotech skills remaining.

Not sure what after that. Probably hand to hand and fire axe training.

Sounds good, buddy.

Let me know if things get hairy. I'll come blast you out of there.

Up to 11, got headshot.
I may move my alt down to join you guys, but it will be an arduous quest as I am in the Lamport Hills area. He is maxed out on shooting skills though, so a bamf. I have a zed too, gradually moving towards ridley bank.

Good, With head shot hopefully we can discourage some of the younger zed in the area.

After struggling to get Construction and sinking a huge amount of AP into searching, I finally found a toolbox. It says something about the game that I feel like I accomplished something major.

Yes, join us in the Homeland.

Support please. I have now got revivication, and performed my first (getting 10XP immediately from a 60HP zed.

As I said before: I don't need the experience, so I can help out wherever.

Luke is VSB, and I have four kits and am searching for more, so if you need healing drop by.

I meant your group, not your team inside our group.

Right, fixing.

I'm curious, how is it that most of you seem to be able to enter various structres?
I've wandered all over Chudelyton and ( for the most part) have discovered most building barricaded and inacessable.
I continue holding up in the Bowell Museum, gained some xp ( but still not enough for any skill) by whacking a lone zombie in the head for a while, then fell asleep.
...Not really sure that I'm understanding the mechanics of this game.

One of the skills is called "Free Running".

It lets you travel from the inside of a building to the inside a neighboring building, without going to street level. So, you just need to find an entry point from the street, and then you can go from building to building on the inside of those extremely heavily barricades.

Most of us have it already, but there's a few without. I strongly suggest getting it, as it makes moving around MUCH easier, and lets you sleep in much safer locations.

There is a skill that you can buy called Free Running that allows you to access more heavily barricaded buildings once you enter less heavily barricaded ones.

No one can enter a building barricaded higher than "Very Strongly Barricaded" (VSB) from the street. In order access such a building (call it Y), you must already be inside of a building (call it X) where X and Y are connected by some path of buildings (call them 1, 2, and 3) that are adjacent as to each other.

X --> 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> Y

Let's say that X and 1 are both VSB but 2 is higher than that. Without Free Running you could enter either X or 1 from the street but you could not enter 1 from X (or vice versa) and you could not enter 2 at all. With Free Running, you still cannot enter 2 from the street but you can enter 1 from X (or vice versa) or 2 from 1 (or vice versa).

Simply put, the only way to get into a building that is higher than VSB is to use Free Running to enter from another building that you are already in.

Thanks Grakmar, I'll make aquiring free running my primary objective when I can actually by a skill.

EDIT: Thanks to you as well Manchu.
