cheers admin, youre doing a mighty fine job. You know they say you should never work with animals or children, (you've got both here) but i admire your courage.
YAY!, ive been checking this blog 2 months before 2d was deleted, all that time ive been waiting for this moment, now i can die in peace (gets hit by a leaper while in a mission) FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
i found a very weird map fail and think it would be nice if you could fix it. i have some print screens on a paint file. if you would like them email me! armstrongmig@hotmail.co.uk
what!!?? i liek missions and all but the day i bought miencraft? now i can't decide. dead frontier or minecraft. ha forget m y crap let's get these missions going after my mom go to bed an d isn't bothering me with this go taker your sister out i nthe backyard " so you can make her and you get piked by lots and lots of moaqutoes. okay the lat part was all me. lol
@ Admin I just wanted to say, I'm now in High school for 2 days now and I will type with the best grammar I can do, and Geometry has me stumped. My teacher needs to spend half of the class giving us warm-ups or teaching us things instead of correcting papers in front of the class when hes gonna correct them later.... I need some time off from school, and not to mention Spanish 1, and College Biology also raping me because my group in Biology doesn't do much except for a few people. Spanish 1 is being a pain because I can't talk English in there and he speaks Spanish most of the time and I had to redo 3 of my assignments....High school is just flat out owning my ass...... I am stressed as hell......
Alright, I love the missions and all, but this is a tad unreasonable. (No, I'm not bitching and complaining, and I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into this). Anyway, I'm currently doing the find the package mission for Dogg's Stockade. I go to the mission area, with relatively low aggro and everything's going fine. But when I get there, all I'm greeted with is very high aggro. 1 zed starts running, then 2,4,8,16, etc. Anyway, I tried to kill them all off until the spike ended, but it never ended. So I'm left with one question: How in the world am I supposed to find the Red Fists when I'm being chased by an endless horde of zombies? :P Anyway, if it's supposed to be like this, then I'm shit out of luck. But if not, can you *possibly* tweak this a bit? Either way, great work Admin.
I'm not trying to be a d!ck, but one minute you say, "If you guys all kiss my ass, I'll get lazy again." Now, after everybody stopped kissing your ass and tried to give constructive criticism, you tell us we're being too harsh. Again, not trying to be a d!ck, just saying you might want to be careful when you give us orders, lmao!
Other than that, loving what you've done with the missions! The new art and mission types integrate very well with the 3D version. Like always, when you finally finish a project it turns to pure gold. Excellent job.
I played a bit of the missions as a GM. I'm not sure if releasing the current missions to non-GMs was timed right. We can only accept one mission per day, at our first login that day (you may be able to go to another outpost if you decline, not sure). I'm not sure if this is what you were going for when you decided to work missions into DF. I realize we're still in beta, but I'm just used to you releasing things to the general player base when they are more "done". If this is what you planned on releasing to everyone, nevermind...
I have some problems with how the missions are styled, but i'll save that for the forums.
i love the mission.......i don't know this u will do or not......fi do i can tell what i want u to add in this DF....if not ...u just don't have to do it......can u add NOTICES BOARD pls.....and add some at dogg......everyday i do the package only.....kinda boring too.....
Using my 2 alts at doggs and nastya's, I tried the missions, and the were fun as hell! Dont let the other raging players get you down admin, usually the case is they dont know how to complete the mission, so they get angry and rage on forum :P
ahh does high school kids struggling in Spanish class. lol i knew Spanish 90% of it and English 90% of it when i was in second grade. then all these people are struggling. i sure am lucky. also English is harder to learn than Spanish. no offence ger. just something to post. you now if Spanish is mandatory in high school it'll be another class i'd be the best in.
I love dead frontier. ive been playing it since 2008(or maybe it was 2009.) anyways, i kinda get a bit impatient on the wait for new releases and stuff but thats just cuz i love this game and cant wait for an awesomely improved version of it :)
p.s. maybe you could get an intern to boost productivity :D
hey adming i love the new missions, i like the artwork and the idea of them, but there is one thing that really bugs me... the endless agrro on the mission zone, how am i supposed to achieve anything if i'm being chased by an endless horde? i've been killing them for an hour straight, almost run out of ammo(and believe me, i had a lot of it on me) until cause of the lag i got killed by a Reaper! can you believe it? a Reaper!! other than that i love the new release, and i didnt mean to be a D1ck or anything its just that some thing gotta be said, i hope you will be able to fix that soon ^^
Keep up the good work admin!!! we really apreciate it :)
@Ger23 Don't worry, freshie. This is my senior year at Collins Hill HS (Georgia) and trust me, it gets alot easier. Or at least more bearable. Anyway, my point is that before you know it, you'll be top dog, kicking other freshmen into trashcans and whatnot. 4 years go by faster than you might think. The Circle of Life, bud. Spanish is all about memorization. I didn't take it till 10th grade but now I'm in Honors Spanish 3. Rock on, bro, I's believes ins yous! VIKTREE FOUR MUTHUUR RUSSIA!
I don't like the fact that you won't be as connected as you were in the past months. But I'm also not an idiot, and know what you are talking about. Know this, that most of us love the work you do and are content, especially with the release of missions now. Thanks for everything, keep up the good work, and fuck what the 2% say. You know, those whiney bitches that just can't be dealt with? They are everywhere. Hopefully, you'll decide to give it a second chance sometime in the near future.
Oh, and I love the missions. Kinda got scared about the 10 spider mission until I realized that they wanted 10 regular spiders, not giant ones. /facepalm @ self
Tips on what you should work on next:
1. INTERIORS, INTERIORS, INTERIORS 2. Barricades 3. Caching and the other stuff. I'm a computer geek, not expert :3.
Pretty good work you're putting on this project man, the missions help me a lot! This is a saying form a 100% Zombie-Fan! Keep adding missions to it, they have interesting stories... ;)
PS Poor guys from precinct 5, until they met my MP5 :D
Im all for the missions Niel. But you may of gone far for the aggro. Like im level 23, and i gotta kill a giant spider... but dang mate the aggro is so high. I clear the aggro. Next block more aggro. I cleared 4 blocks of aggrp and it gets worse and worse. You may need to tweak it.
Hey we need more money becuz im at Dogg Stockade and the Mission is $2000 and 15,000 exp and the XP is okay but the money is not im lvl 42 and its expensive to be buying health and food worth $3000-$4000 plus to pay doctor and chef to heal n cook for u and when you add all dat money up its between $10,000-$14,000 and imagine to go down red fist and comin back to Dogg plus ur gonna get hungry i mean for stronger lvl u should atleast put it up to $6000 becuz $2000 is not worth da risk down there
people and admin this is what i think. missions of course need notice board but just like 2d missions the toughness of missions is based by levels not just the missions. these spider missions their for like levels 50+ but maybe in the future there could be the same mission but different bases for different levels. like if you are level 30-41 at fort and have the spider mission (in notice board which there has to be) if you do it you'll have low aggro like which ever zombie sees you chases you. if you'r level 41-51 you'll have the same mission but with a little more aggro like zombies chase you at a constent rate but not many. about lets say 66% of what it is now. then if you are level 51+ you have the aggro we have now. of ocurse each level of diffulculty has different rewards. you know now that i think about it you could choose what level you want as you are higher in level like. level 31-41 can't do any missions over level 41. then level 41-51 can do bot htheirs and level 31-41. then 51+ can do all.
go to fort pastor you foolish fool. Stuff there is WAY cheaper, and you get like 20k for missions, and loot is WWWAAAAYYYY better. just do it, and never look back
Does anyone else think that a bullet Stock system would work? Like a way to have a set market price for a set ammount of bullets on each type... so players know what the avarage pricw should be... and I'm not talking about the scrap price of a full box... like what each indidual bullet would cost, like in real life!
Hopefully in the future when the missions bugs have been dealt with and a bigger list of missions are available there'll be a notice board again. Keep it up Niel! :D
@luis.401 Yeah i know rite i like da mission n errthang but $2000 not worth dying for n ma money is 98000 sumthin and i had alot yo dat felt hurtful lol
@FREAKSHOW U dnt want the $hi+ beat out of ya chill but i dnt wanna face em Spiders yo im not ready im level 42 and i need 30 rifle skills for ma rifle i got 25
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT im a GM i have had them for a while but WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
I was playing when I entered in the "Dogg's Stokade" with 100% exp. to improve my character stats. But instead of the ussual screen, I see all the game screen in black only with the legend "Congratulations, your player has gained a level! You must now spend your free points below", but I can't see nothing!
I tried re-entering the web, re-opening the browser, but nothing happens, the game shows me nothing but this black background and this legend.
I hope someone read me and can help me. My email is: immortal.azathoth@gmail.com. Thanks!!
Im level 26 mate. And I can get to endzone and loot all day and come back with a good loot run. Your worthy of the fort pastor. The food and medical stuff up there is too low for you. You have to come to fort pastor to stay alive and to stay nourished
The aggro on these missions is complete bullshit. I have a character with 124 agility and I can't do any missions (other than looting) due to these insane aggro spikes. Could you please tell me how in the hell im supposed to collect 10 blood samples from spiders when 5 of them are constantly pushing each other along at me and the aggro never stops? Now I know that you work hard on this game, but this is a flawed system that you have here. Please either lower the aggro spike or make it so that aggro works like it was a normal block (increases with guns,explosions,etc,). Thanks
Erm.. aggro problem still has to be fixed :P Not rushing or anything, but I'm still trying to figure out how I'm supposed to loot a severed hand when I'm being chased by an endless mob :P
lol shit im done with Dead Frontier for awhile becuz da game is CHEATING!!! i been trying to get to the mission on DOGG STOCKADE to find the Hand but too much zombies coming at u for nothing u cant focus on to find da hand with so nuch zeds on yo ass!!! IM OUT! for now :)
admin pwn thinks he gave us what we wanted but it is sadly not the case. we wanted missions just like 2d except for 3d graphics and the other benefits it brings with a little extra realistic depth but like aggro on one block and nothing on another s not realistic and we never asked for infinite aggro on missions.
I'm just gonna leave the blog... OH YEAH Now I'm gonna play cuz' I just got power back from the hurricane since I live in Maine. Trees EVERYWHERE are down... even Davis Park in bethel is overflowed
Not to be bashing admin, but it APPEARS that his solution to problems such as OAs and Missions is just to give people tons of aggro. Seriously. Where has their been an update to the actual game that didn't involve increased aggro?
OA? Just a bunch of aggro preventing looting. New Bosses? Siren. Missions? Just an aggrofest with a story.
Before I get shredded here I just wanna say I'm sharing some of my observations.
I am aware that the new looting mechanism does not involve aggro, but it was a change to the existing game. Not an addition of "new" content to the game.
everyone should just stop complaining to admin. if he is going to change the aggro with missions he will. just stop bitching to him. not insulting anybody but seriously guys, this is what he meant when he talked about people always hating even when he does something good
I think the majority of people complaining about infinite aggro here are belong to one (or both) of two possible categories: 1. Too low a level to complete the mission 2. Stupid/incompetent
Seriously, Dead Frontier is a game known for being hard, just because you can't do something immediately at your current level doesn't mean the game is broken, and it also doesn't mean the admin will change an aspect just because you're having a little bitch fit.
I've already noticed (I'm pretty sure) a slight nerf in the spiders mission (aggro isn't as brutal, more chance of spider being lootable), and I believe that it is at a perfect level now.
The other thing that you people are probably doing wrong are your tactics. If you're just running in a circle gunning down zeds hoping that somehow if you keep shooting the aggro will eventually die then you're wrong. You have to plan it out, find a good position where you have cover and can keep a steady fire on the enemy, every now and then (between aggro spikes) going out to collect samples when you think it is safe, based on your judgement.
I did the 10 spider blood samples and came out unscathed. Not GM, not even level 50 yet. There's just a lot more thinking that needs to go into it than you think.
tannerkist what you got up there in Maine was no hurricane it was just a weakly tropical storm what they had all over the Carolina and Delaware wasn't. oddly enough the hurricane actually like came threw the southern east part of Delaware but we had no flooding and that is weird since it flooded underneath in Carolina and South or (east i think) Virginia and over in New York and those places. matt have you notice some level 41s or something at doggs that can't even complete a mission without dying? you probably havn't. cause look level 41s belong at fort but they can't do missions there cause of the aggro but they go to p13 and they still can't so where are they soppose to go? nastyas? yeah right
I do agree with what you said about the missions, but I also belive that the weapons, and the armor, and even the aggro aren't the only problems here for players to get killed over. There is also the problem of a sh*t computer or a slow/unreliable internet connection... most of the times when I play, I don't get killed by minor game bugs... but by not begin able to recenter my aiming reticule when I need to, or having a ping so high that I either can't move or can't change direction while moving... also my computer got fried by cat piss. And I don't own a cat.
To fix that, I stop going to the Library (which got banned a few weeks after when some new players started in town and tried modding the game). And I also started PAYING my friends parents to let me come over and play the game. So I've the dedication to do this, and a lot of tatcis for it to, and not having the stats for it is just a noob thing that you fix if you whine about to your parents long enough.... but I have a job, so. Yeah.
I have a level 26 and a level 15, and they both finished this mission... it took me a few tries on my lower level to get the stratigies to work, but I came out on top when I went to my main account and tried it.
Think I went off topic so, sorry. Sum it up 1. Stat reset you character and get new weapons for your play style for a better character. 2. Find a new computer, or a freind's house if the one your using sucks. 3. Learn some moves besides circle-Strafe and shoot and run if you wanna live. 4. Play with a friend or two, with audio comunication to make someone else take a few hits while you get your goods.
@luis.401 i completed the pre-nerfed spider mission level 46. I also do not have a 'big ass gun', i did it with a vss. @sinkurepa It's good to know i have a bit of support. Bugs do degrade the game a bit. I get a shitload of I/O errors still, random freezes and CEs and sometimes at the worst possible moments. We can just hope they get cleaned up sometime soon. Your suggestions for completing missions are good too. PS. lol, cat piss
This is my point. The missions force people to camp in a corner with a gun. It completely screws over people like me who have a melee build. Even with MC armor and Nodachi I can't do shit against the massive aggro due to the aggro pushing the threats along. A solution though might be to tweak the pushing system. Maybe make it so that once something attacks it stops and cannot be pushed. I find that spiders like to push along tendrils or pukers to make the range 10 times what it should be on their attacks.
If your not having fun blasting holes in zombies, then rethink your stratigy, realocate your stats and try a different weapon set... ther's a lot of things you can do to fix these small-time problems without begin a high level.... The Aggro is NOT a problem for me, if you ever did any of the 2-D "fetch quest" missions, then you should know how to loot efectivly while in aggro.... or, hell, if you've been playing in the inner city on 3-D in the deeper parts... most of this is just player experience, not the ammount of the zombies... at least I think so anyway.
Is it a matter of killing off the aggro before it kills you or are you supposed to somehow lose the horde? Another question. Would it be better or easier to do missions in SP or MP?
Sorta a noob thing to say, but how the hell do you switch between SP and MP?
@goober You can sometimes lose the Aggro by simply walking into a new instance, but you lose the spider loots from where you were. You could always fight to the death, but unless you brought enough ammo to get where your going AND GET BACK ALIVE! Thenyou should just try to funnel the horde thru a small alleyway or something. if you have a shotgun or a good critical with a Machine Gun, then you just run forward and leave 'em there and run for some fencing or a cluster of obsticles. There's a lot of tactics for this, but just stick to what works for your weapon combo...
I hear a lot of commplaints about melee being worthless now, but it is still effective against everything but the boss types and mabye leapers. Oh and don't go full auto everytime more than 5 zombies get on screen, unless your only cutting thru them for escape... full auto is the main aggro causing weapon, second only to explosions. Just use low aggro weps to cut down the horde while circling the WHOLE instance, or you'll get surounded and mabye die... if you have a decent agility, then you can melee your way thru this mission. No really, I did, after running out of shotgun shells.
Its under options. You hit F1 while in the Inner City then choose options.
I got a machine gun build. More of a grinder build actually. With a M16, Kris, and Beta 8000.
I was doing the Jenkins Mission and was only able to loot two bodies. I have zylon armor that gives me an agility, and Endurance boost. I also have Reactive SLX which I mainly use in combat where stronger armor is needed. Zylon I use for looting and getting to the mission zones.
Ive heard SP has lower aggro but i dont really know if thats true or not, it probably isnt since I dont know what purpose that would serve. You cannot kill aggro totally in missions so if youre talking about the Jenkins mission just run around a block and go near Jenkins when there are no zombies within your visible range and he should talk to you. After several 'talks' he will agree to go back to FP, which will be the end of the mission.
Melee is not useless. I kill off aggro spikes in endzone all the time with my katana.Including two or three spiders pushing each other and other things.I also have no problem killing off bosses with my katana. I have 102 agility with my armor bonus and 80 crit. I hardly ever get hit and have never been hit by a leaper. chainsaws kinda suck now because you cant do all the damage per second in one hit so I don't use them.
also explosives is not an aggro causing weapon. machine guns and shotguns are the only weapons that can cause an aggro spike.
just to clear up some of what I've read. practice and learn to get the skill to put down an aggro spike with melee.
@ Ragedeath Well rifles can attract the ones thearea, but it won't (usually) cause more aggro very quickly... it causes more than pistols, but mot by too much really. I'm kinda going off of what I've heard and seen while with other players... but I could be wrong.
@ Bkrgamer I don't mean that I, personally, don't like melle, I use it all the time. I mean that a few of my friends that I play with on a regular basis, often don't use melee after a spike first hits or when a special infected shows up. I think that's just a personal choice due to their play style tho... I really just mean that some players don't go all out with melee as often necause they don't think they can take the horde... I think its because of using lower quality armor than they should be... I would rather get a better armor first than get my new wepon from my profiency points..... Some of this is from observations, and a lot of it is from forum and (this) blog post... but still, I have to admit that I may have put too many opinions in this.....
Back on topic! I love the missions, and I think that this makes leveling up just that much easier, I 'm not gonna complain about aggro when that can be easily fixed with a few good bullets. The money is a little low for my taste, but I'm in this for the story aspect of it... too many years playing Zelda I guess.
i just made a new account level 8 chef i had to start over becuz my level 42 keep dying in Precinct 13 i came from $100,100- 1000 sumthing and i cant use it becuz its expensive after working so hard work from 2D smh totally diss is BULL$HI+
@0keano There is a certain balance you must sustain between doing missions and looting. Just because there are missions there doesn't mean you have to do them, that kind of playing style just isnt sustainable.
Also, not intending to be offensive but if you are constantly dieing at P13 at level 42, I think you just suck.
I love the missions to. Infinite aggro is a great way to level up when you only use silent weapons. I put melee up first, then pistols, and now I got explosives up to 45. Its pretty hard to level up if you can't cause an aggro spike yourself.
After seeing one of dark apparitions vids I realized I was totally screwing up the charlet mission though. I thought she was already dead and I had to loot for the picture. I looted just about everything in those areas and didn't even notice her anywhere. Im gonna have to go back and try that one again.
Just found this guy on YouTube, don't knnow why I've been watching diablo 3 rants for almost 2 hours when I coulda been watching this guy, but now... whatever.
DeadExsposerDF
As for EVERYTHING I said about melee weapons earlier, just try and forget those ever existed (i'd delet them myself, but I don't care to at this moment in time), cuz this guy has proved that melee weapons can kill anything, EVEN A GIANT FLAMING SPIDER! OR A PAIR OF WRAITHS!
Granted that he does have better armor than almost all of you, as well as weapons... I still say that bitching about aggro after watching this is like watching a 4 year old get backhanded for crying in wallmart after being denied a new Nerf toy.... man that was funny, never heard a slap ring out so F*cking clearly... didn't even cry afterward, just got up and slowly followed his mom like a injured puppy.
nerf toys suck... lol..... in my bros generation it was all about homemade slingshots and going to River Bend when it was still a forest and killing birds
@ Ger23 I don't mean that kids like Nerf for any real reason right now, other than society has pretty much goten rid of the whole slingshot thing... due to them not being on TV as often, plus, kids don't see homemade slingshots on TV they see Nerf guns...
And on a personal note. F*ck Slingshots, I had a compound bow!!! While your firing rocks, I got arrows made out of pipe and glass! Oh, childhood... I will not miss the.
Just an update that the mission aggro is causing bugs. I found 2. The first was that I was sprinting and I ran into a leaper.The leaper had it;s back to me and never reacted. I died on contact without the leaper striking me. The second is that I ran around a spider and it struck forward. I somehow managed to take damage while I was directly behind the spider and a fair ways away (well out of melee range. Plz fix these bugs
@ bkrgamer i hate the aggro cause i am so darn slow . Thats why i am scrapping my acc's (ALL) and making a whole new set - and all of 'em are athletes cause 1. They are 5 lvls ahead as lvl 1 or lvl 200 (any way) and 2. They are faster (Spring Heeled Jack is really fast though i luv that acc XD check it out ) oh - im BirdieMaster1 and yes SHJ (Spring Heeled Jack) is a nub , but check out Dead Frontier: Spring Heeled Jack vs Flamer . So point is i do not like aggro cause i am SLOOOOW
i can do like 2 flamers in a row at level 1 doctor/ farmer/ any classes without stat boost. but i wouldn't do it with a pen knife it'll take to long just give me a combat knives and i'm your man.
Anyone can take down normal flamers, they are more like the old green set zombies from before, but they don't have long arm set... that's what the other special infected are for... I shouldn't be using a Left 4 Dead term, but it just seems to fit.
Other than Spiders, is anyone having any real problems with surviving right now? Because it seems like this might get harder at time progresses thru the game.... Bring on the zombies!
sink no just spiders and some what of like a horde full of pukers and boomers when you have melee. not that i can't handle it but it is hard but it is a good problem the kind that doesn't need to be fixed so i don't think it is a problem not like a game theme problem one more like a " oh crap" problem.
The only problem I have with aggro is "the push" that's created by the horde, but its only a prblem if the front of the horde has zombies with ranged attacks like the one with the giant blade arm thing.... or pukes/ bloats, or trendils... my armor usually holds up to most normal zombie attacks tho so I'm okay... mostly.
A question, can that siren (two headed girl thing) attract other special infected from the area around you? Because I really don't run into as many of them as I hear most people do... and I always kill her after the first scream, but no special have ever ran at me but one, but I had already shot that bone twice before alerting the airen with a shot in the back.
I find it effing annoying that there is a lot of aggro for "Find Sabrina" and I cannot properly fight never ending amount of zeds coming at me, especially when spiders and tendrils are together. I know you are fixing the aggro but make the level of aggro on a mission fit for a level 15 like myself at precinct :/
Hey Neil, I found something interesting that may help with publicity. Since this is game was made with Unity, and uses the Unity webplayer, you should fill out a few things on this link.
http://unity3d.com/gallery/game-list/submit
In order to help with your chances of getting put up on the site, you, or I, should find some good dead frontier videos online. I'm not sure how much time you have, but I'd be happy to help this game out by working on this, thing is though I wouldn't be comfortable putting your name/Creaky Corpse Limited in the necessary box without your full support, or at least authorization, on this. In fact if I don't have that it may be illegal. Seeing as how I'm unable to buy a GM at the moment I figured I'd try to do something else to help with this game. Message me on Dead Frontier with the same name, or leave a comment here on what you think if you like the idea.
@Alex I my alt, Muscleman, went there at level 13 and he is a level 30+.I stopped using him because of that retarded update with the 2x exp for thirties and up. Besides my main, Jinbei69, makes more than Muscleman does in a day. Mainly because he is a doc.
Can't wait till we get notice board.. and an option to be able to re-take missions, in case you declined by accident -_- Anywho, great job so far Admin!
Admin, you are doing a great job. No molly coddling saying your over worked or nothing, i just really appriciate all the work you have put into this, making it an enjoyable game that i fell in love with just over a month ago. I plan on becoming a GM A.S.A.P because i think its so good!
Keep it up, and do things at your own pace, don't let anyone influence you into rushing or taking it too slow :)
Is anyone playing the new Dead Island game yet? That game is so beast! Love it! Now if only I had gas money to get to school tomorrow.... that's the price of hardcore gaming for ya... *sigh*
And Neil (Just learned your name lol) Not saying to take it easy but your family is growing, they are the most important thing in your life so no one(At least no one who knows how much time ou have put into this) when they distract you for a day or weekend. That's just life :)
"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow just a mystery, but today...Today is a gift! That's why they call it "The Present".
I think it has something to do with the Corspe Blaster going down in price on Halloween for GMs.... but it looks like a question. Simple post, but such powerful meaning.
now taht admin doesn't wright everyday no one says anything bad good or anything!! i am thinking this game lost players and admin isgetting less money. just what i think.
Mabye I'm thinking about dead island too much... but can we get some new LOW class weapons? Like throwing knives, or a police baton, or nunchuks! Or... um... farming tools. Like a hoe and sickle and sythe.
Yep...i've been playing dead island and it rocks so much...admin could take some ideas from it, although ideas i bet he has plenty...the problem is the work that is programming :p its just an idea, but why doesn't he let some players help? someone must know coding maybe he could assign some coding tasks for those ppl, for in-game stuff or credits. I bet they would accept. That way admin doesn't have to pay real money or anything. Sorry about any erros but im not gonna read what i just wrote...too lazy xD
Io was thinking about some kind of thing players could use to make weapons based on stuff from the real world... like put in a few pictures and stuff and it pops out a weapon model. Or something.... like making a weapon blueprint for Admin to use for the game.... I just really want a sythe!
That may be a conection problem, I had that same error when I was at my school... the computers there aren't the best but it stopped after a few minutes, just give it about 20 minutes or so, it should work then... unless you have a really crapy conection to begin with.
Hey admin umm please fix this. I have spent about 10k on the mission "Big Brother". It's not that I die or run out of ammo. It's that The 3 Titans I've killed did NOT drop a rusty key. Please make the chance of a Rusty Key being dropped from a titan in that area 100%.
okay seriously. nobody else has this problem?????? nearly every time i try to get on the dead frontier site the connection times out! it's CRAP! every single other webpage i have ever visited with my internet, and every other game runs FINE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SITE???
I can't even ping it. When I try to, it tries to send 4 packets and ALL 4 are lost >_> i just want to play the damn game T.T
loving the new login screen, btw, i didnt see the message that said it was still in beta, does that mean its out of beta?(i probs missed it, if i did, sorry)
i will like that npc missions talk should be post in the chat window since we need badly to know whats goin on and for people like me whose follow the story line, it will be a cool addon :D
First, great job!!! Hey, I got the package from the lootable van in The Pickup, but there's no Red fist gang in the whole area. I am missing still one objective.
cheers admin, youre doing a mighty fine job. You know they say you should never work with animals or children, (you've got both here) but i admire your courage.
ReplyDeleteHey, i declined by accidennt how do i re take the mission?
ReplyDeleteYou cant unless you have an alt in same place, or if you go to another outpost. BTW thank you Admin- keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAhh okay thanks, BTW GOOD JOB ADMIN, what all those noobs were saying before forget them, your doing a bang up job :) keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank god, Neil you deserve the Seal Of Approval... Where did I put it.
ReplyDeleteThanks though

ReplyDelete@ Admin
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say, I'm now in High school for 2 days now and I will type with the best grammar I can do, and Geometry has me stumped. My teacher needs to spend half of the class giving us warm-ups or teaching us things instead of correcting papers in front of the class when hes gonna correct them later.... I need some time off from school, and not to mention Spanish 1, and College Biology also raping me because my group in Biology doesn't do much except for a few people. Spanish 1 is being a pain because I can't talk English in there and he speaks Spanish most of the time and I had to redo 3 of my assignments....High school is just flat out owning my ass...... I am stressed as hell......
Alright, I love the missions and all, but this is a tad unreasonable. (No, I'm not bitching and complaining, and I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into this). Anyway, I'm currently doing the find the package mission for Dogg's Stockade. I go to the mission area, with relatively low aggro and everything's going fine. But when I get there, all I'm greeted with is very high aggro. 1 zed starts running, then 2,4,8,16, etc. Anyway, I tried to kill them all off until the spike ended, but it never ended. So I'm left with one question: How in the world am I supposed to find the Red Fists when I'm being chased by an endless horde of zombies? :P Anyway, if it's supposed to be like this, then I'm shit out of luck. But if not, can you *possibly* tweak this a bit? Either way, great work Admin.
ReplyDelete^ Nevermind about the mission thing, I found it. But still, aggro's a tad high. :P
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!! I waited one year for this moment!!
ReplyDeleteNow... I have a question...
The notice board is going to come back??
I'm not trying to be a d!ck, but one minute you say, "If you guys all kiss my ass, I'll get lazy again." Now, after everybody stopped kissing your ass and tried to give constructive criticism, you tell us we're being too harsh. Again, not trying to be a d!ck, just saying you might want to be careful when you give us orders, lmao!
ReplyDeleteOther than that, loving what you've done with the missions! The new art and mission types integrate very well with the 3D version. Like always, when you finally finish a project it turns to pure gold. Excellent job.
I played a bit of the missions as a GM. I'm not sure if releasing the current missions to non-GMs was timed right. We can only accept one mission per day, at our first login that day (you may be able to go to another outpost if you decline, not sure). I'm not sure if this is what you were going for when you decided to work missions into DF. I realize we're still in beta, but I'm just used to you releasing things to the general player base when they are more "done". If this is what you planned on releasing to everyone, nevermind...
ReplyDeleteI have some problems with how the missions are styled, but i'll save that for the forums.
@AdminPwn
ReplyDeletei love the mission.......i don't know this u will do or not......fi do i can tell what i want u to add in this DF....if not ...u just don't have to do it......can u add NOTICES BOARD pls.....and add some at dogg......everyday i do the package only.....kinda boring too.....
Using my 2 alts at doggs and nastya's, I tried the missions, and the were fun as hell! Dont let the other raging players get you down admin, usually the case is they dont know how to complete the mission, so they get angry and rage on forum :P
ReplyDeleteMission board please.
ReplyDeletehelp me I got hacked ... already send a support ticket .
ReplyDeleteahh does high school kids struggling in Spanish class. lol i knew Spanish 90% of it and English 90% of it when i was in second grade. then all these people are struggling. i sure am lucky. also English is harder to learn than Spanish. no offence ger. just something to post. you now if Spanish is mandatory in high school it'll be another class i'd be the best in.
ReplyDeleteGood job Neil!
ReplyDeleteI love dead frontier. ive been playing it since 2008(or maybe it was 2009.) anyways, i kinda get a bit impatient on the wait for new releases and stuff but thats just cuz i love this game and cant wait for an awesomely improved version of it :)
ReplyDeletep.s.
maybe you could get an intern to boost productivity :D
hey adming i love the new missions, i like the artwork and the idea of them, but there is one thing that really bugs me... the endless agrro on the mission zone, how am i supposed to achieve anything if i'm being chased by an endless horde? i've been killing them for an hour straight, almost run out of ammo(and believe me, i had a lot of it on me) until cause of the lag i got killed by a Reaper! can you believe it? a Reaper!!
ReplyDeleteother than that i love the new release, and i didnt mean to be a D1ck or anything its just that some thing gotta be said, i hope you will be able to fix that soon ^^
Keep up the good work admin!!! we really apreciate it :)
@Ger23
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, freshie. This is my senior year at Collins Hill HS (Georgia) and trust me, it gets alot easier. Or at least more bearable. Anyway, my point is that before you know it, you'll be top dog, kicking other freshmen into trashcans and whatnot. 4 years go by faster than you might think. The Circle of Life, bud. Spanish is all about memorization. I didn't take it till 10th grade but now I'm in Honors Spanish 3. Rock on, bro, I's believes ins yous! VIKTREE FOUR MUTHUUR RUSSIA!
Admin. I'm not going to kiss your ass.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the fact that you won't be as connected as you were in the past months. But I'm also not an idiot, and know what you are talking about. Know this, that most of us love the work you do and are content, especially with the release of missions now. Thanks for everything, keep up the good work, and fuck what the 2% say. You know, those whiney bitches that just can't be dealt with? They are everywhere. Hopefully, you'll decide to give it a second chance sometime in the near future.
Oh, and I love the missions. Kinda got scared about the 10 spider mission until I realized that they wanted 10 regular spiders, not giant ones. /facepalm @ self
Tips on what you should work on next:
1. INTERIORS, INTERIORS, INTERIORS
2. Barricades
3. Caching and the other stuff. I'm a computer geek, not expert :3.
~TacoKisses
Great work, I have to tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work, thanks.
ReplyDeletePretty good work you're putting on this project man, the missions help me a lot! This is a saying form a 100% Zombie-Fan! Keep adding missions to it, they have interesting stories... ;)
ReplyDeletePS Poor guys from precinct 5, until they met my MP5 :D
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIm all for the missions Niel. But you may of gone far for the aggro. Like im level 23, and i gotta kill a giant spider... but dang mate the aggro is so high. I clear the aggro. Next block more aggro. I cleared 4 blocks of aggrp and it gets worse and worse. You may need to tweak it.
ReplyDeleteMission board!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. All of us Greedy F2P'ers really enjoy it!
ReplyDeletegood job admin i will keep buying gold membership and credits every month to help
ReplyDelete-SadFace-
ReplyDeleteNo Notice Board? D:
They're good anyways.
Admin ... put back onebip to make me GM again D: because i don't have another method to do that :(
ReplyDeleteHey we need more money becuz im at Dogg Stockade and the Mission is $2000 and 15,000 exp and the XP is okay but the money is not im lvl 42 and its expensive to be buying health and food worth $3000-$4000 plus to pay doctor and chef to heal n cook for u and when you add all dat money up its between $10,000-$14,000 and imagine to go down red fist and comin back to Dogg plus ur gonna get hungry i mean for stronger lvl u should atleast put it up to $6000 becuz $2000 is not worth da risk down there
ReplyDeletepeople and admin this is what i think. missions of course need notice board but just like 2d missions the toughness of missions is based by levels not just the missions. these spider missions their for like levels 50+ but maybe in the future there could be the same mission but different bases for different levels. like if you are level 30-41 at fort and have the spider mission (in notice board which there has to be) if you do it you'll have low aggro like which ever zombie sees you chases you. if you'r level 41-51 you'll have the same mission but with a little more aggro like zombies chase you at a constent rate but not many. about lets say 66% of what it is now. then if you are level 51+ you have the aggro we have now. of ocurse each level of diffulculty has different rewards.
ReplyDeleteyou know now that i think about it you could choose what level you want as you are higher in level like. level 31-41 can't do any missions over level 41. then level 41-51 can do bot htheirs and level 31-41. then 51+ can do all.
o yeah and okeano that is why my above idea is a good one. for people like you. make the diffcultty higher for more monies.
ReplyDeleteman this aggrp is high as hell. Will you tweak it plzz?
ReplyDeleteLULthaks mr admin!
I'd rather have the old mission system back.
ReplyDelete@0keano
ReplyDeletego to fort pastor you foolish fool. Stuff there is WAY cheaper, and you get like 20k for missions, and loot is WWWAAAAYYYY better.
just do it, and never look back
@Felipe
ReplyDeleteswitch to single player..........if multiplayer......the aggro is unlimited ......so choose single player for the limited aggro......
@Akid98
ReplyDeleteWEE, thank you man, appreciate your help! I'll try that lather!
Does anyone else think that a bullet Stock system would work? Like a way to have a set market price for a set ammount of bullets on each type... so players know what the avarage pricw should be... and I'm not talking about the scrap price of a full box... like what each indidual bullet would cost, like in real life!
ReplyDeleteSin Out.
Hopefully in the future when the missions bugs have been dealt with and a bigger list of missions are available there'll be a notice board again. Keep it up Niel! :D
ReplyDelete@luis.401
ReplyDeleteYeah i know rite i like da mission n errthang but $2000 not worth dying for n ma money is 98000 sumthin and i had alot yo dat felt hurtful lol
@FREAKSHOW
U dnt want the $hi+ beat out of ya chill but i dnt wanna face em Spiders yo im not ready im level 42 and i need 30 rifle skills for ma rifle i got 25
@AdminPwn
ReplyDeletethx for adding the new mission at DOGG STOCKADE.....
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT im a GM i have had them for a while but WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm "Azathoth47" and I have a problem:
ReplyDeleteI was playing when I entered in the "Dogg's Stokade" with 100% exp. to improve my character stats. But instead of the ussual screen, I see all the game screen in black only with the legend "Congratulations, your player has gained a level! You must now spend your free points below", but I can't see nothing!
I tried re-entering the web, re-opening the browser, but nothing happens, the game shows me nothing but this black background and this legend.
I hope someone read me and can help me.
My email is: immortal.azathoth@gmail.com.
Thanks!!
@ Okeano
ReplyDeleteIm level 26 mate. And I can get to endzone and loot all day and come back with a good loot run. Your worthy of the fort pastor. The food and medical stuff up there is too low for you. You have to come to fort pastor to stay alive and to stay nourished
@Jor
ReplyDeleteNaa u level 26 so its easy for your level but for me its still gone be expensive no matter where you at
@ Okeano
ReplyDeleteIm a soldier. And its alot easier then you think. Im not even gold member. And fort pastor is easy as.
The aggro on these missions is complete bullshit. I have a character with 124 agility and I can't do any missions (other than looting) due to these insane aggro spikes. Could you please tell me how in the hell im supposed to collect 10 blood samples from spiders when 5 of them are constantly pushing each other along at me and the aggro never stops? Now I know that you work hard on this game, but this is a flawed system that you have here. Please either lower the aggro spike or make it so that aggro works like it was a normal block (increases with guns,explosions,etc,). Thanks
ReplyDeleteNew mission at Dogg's: Find brother's severed hand. So THAT'S what the hand's for!
ReplyDeleteErm.. aggro problem still has to be fixed :P Not rushing or anything, but I'm still trying to figure out how I'm supposed to loot a severed hand when I'm being chased by an endless mob :P
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! Got that hand! Got it right before the aggro spiked... and died prompty afterward.
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE HELL!!! THAT WAS FLIPPIN AWESOME!!!
Let's do it again.
@redman
ReplyDeleteExactly. As I said, aggro is fine, it just needs to be tweaked a little.
@jor
ReplyDeleteu better be right about diss yo im at dogg stackade imma do a mission den imma head over to i dnt even remember where u tell me to go
Admin..three words...Like A Boss!
ReplyDeletelol shit im done with Dead Frontier for awhile becuz da game is CHEATING!!! i been trying to get to the mission on DOGG STOCKADE to find the Hand but too much zombies coming at u for nothing u cant focus on to find da hand with so nuch zeds on yo ass!!! IM OUT! for now :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving 3D, and when i think that interiors are still to come. it makes meh smile :D
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
admin pwn thinks he gave us what we wanted but it is sadly not the case. we wanted missions just like 2d except for 3d graphics and the other benefits it brings with a little extra realistic depth but like aggro on one block and nothing on another s not realistic and we never asked for infinite aggro on missions.
ReplyDeleteI'm just gonna leave the blog... OH YEAH Now I'm gonna play cuz' I just got power back from the hurricane since I live in Maine. Trees EVERYWHERE are down... even Davis Park in bethel is overflowed
ReplyDeleteNot to be bashing admin, but it APPEARS that his solution to problems such as OAs and Missions is just to give people tons of aggro. Seriously. Where has their been an update to the actual game that didn't involve increased aggro?
ReplyDeleteOA? Just a bunch of aggro preventing looting.
New Bosses? Siren.
Missions? Just an aggrofest with a story.
Before I get shredded here I just wanna say I'm sharing some of my observations.
I am aware that the new looting mechanism does not involve aggro, but it was a change to the existing game. Not an addition of "new" content to the game.
everyone should just stop complaining to admin. if he is going to change the aggro with missions he will. just stop bitching to him. not insulting anybody but seriously guys, this is what he meant when he talked about people always hating even when he does something good
ReplyDelete@Ragedeath
ReplyDeleteI'm not complaining. I'm just sharing my observations with other players.
I honestly can't judge on missions either. Being a level 24 or something at FP.
I think the majority of people complaining about infinite aggro here are belong to one (or both) of two possible categories:
ReplyDelete1. Too low a level to complete the mission
2. Stupid/incompetent
Seriously, Dead Frontier is a game known for being hard, just because you can't do something immediately at your current level doesn't mean the game is broken, and it also doesn't mean the admin will change an aspect just because you're having a little bitch fit.
I've already noticed (I'm pretty sure) a slight nerf in the spiders mission (aggro isn't as brutal, more chance of spider being lootable), and I believe that it is at a perfect level now.
The other thing that you people are probably doing wrong are your tactics. If you're just running in a circle gunning down zeds hoping that somehow if you keep shooting the aggro will eventually die then you're wrong. You have to plan it out, find a good position where you have cover and can keep a steady fire on the enemy, every now and then (between aggro spikes) going out to collect samples when you think it is safe, based on your judgement.
I did the 10 spider blood samples and came out unscathed. Not GM, not even level 50 yet. There's just a lot more thinking that needs to go into it than you think.
tannerkist what you got up there in Maine was no hurricane it was just a weakly tropical storm what they had all over the Carolina and Delaware wasn't. oddly enough the hurricane actually like came threw the southern east part of Delaware but we had no flooding and that is weird since it flooded underneath in Carolina and South or (east i think) Virginia and over in New York and those places.
ReplyDeletematt have you notice some level 41s or something at doggs that can't even complete a mission without dying? you probably havn't. cause look level 41s belong at fort but they can't do missions there cause of the aggro but they go to p13 and they still can't so where are they soppose to go? nastyas? yeah right
also matt not everyone has big ass machine gun or big ass any gun at level 50-
ReplyDelete@ Matt
ReplyDeleteI do agree with what you said about the missions, but I also belive that the weapons, and the armor, and even the aggro aren't the only problems here for players to get killed over.
There is also the problem of a sh*t computer or a slow/unreliable internet connection... most of the times when I play, I don't get killed by minor game bugs... but by not begin able to recenter my aiming reticule when I need to, or having a ping so high that I either can't move or can't change direction while moving... also my computer got fried by cat piss. And I don't own a cat.
To fix that, I stop going to the Library (which got banned a few weeks after when some new players started in town and tried modding the game). And I also started PAYING my friends parents to let me come over and play the game. So I've the dedication to do this, and a lot of tatcis for it to, and not having the stats for it is just a noob thing that you fix if you whine about to your parents long enough.... but I have a job, so. Yeah.
I have a level 26 and a level 15, and they both finished this mission... it took me a few tries on my lower level to get the stratigies to work, but I came out on top when I went to my main account and tried it.
Think I went off topic so, sorry. Sum it up
1. Stat reset you character and get new weapons for your play style for a better character.
2. Find a new computer, or a freind's house if the one your using sucks.
3. Learn some moves besides circle-Strafe and shoot and run if you wanna live.
4. Play with a friend or two, with audio comunication to make someone else take a few hits while you get your goods.
Sinkurepa Out.
@luis.401
ReplyDeletei completed the pre-nerfed spider mission level 46. I also do not have a 'big ass gun', i did it with a vss.
@sinkurepa
It's good to know i have a bit of support. Bugs do degrade the game a bit. I get a shitload of I/O errors still, random freezes and CEs and sometimes at the worst possible moments. We can just hope they get cleaned up sometime soon. Your suggestions for completing missions are good too.
PS. lol, cat piss
@luis.401 Oh half of Bethel was flooded up here
ReplyDeleteYall are talking BS da game is obviously need mission fixing with agro period im lvl 42 and having probs with da missions
ReplyDeleteThis is my point. The missions force people to camp in a corner with a gun. It completely screws over people like me who have a melee build. Even with MC armor and Nodachi I can't do shit against the massive aggro due to the aggro pushing the threats along. A solution though might be to tweak the pushing system. Maybe make it so that once something attacks it stops and cannot be pushed. I find that spiders like to push along tendrils or pukers to make the range 10 times what it should be on their attacks.
ReplyDeletei just found da 5 drugs to save the dudes brother arm for the scientist and it took alot out of me some major repairs need to take place smh :/
ReplyDeleteGreat job admin, great job!
ReplyDeleteBut please dont loose heart because of the griefers.
Please ignore them as you would a retarded person. or a mental case.
You guys also gotta understand that this is still a beta game.
ReplyDeletejor we do understand this is why we're talking about nurfing cause it's still pretty early for that.
ReplyDeleteIf your not having fun blasting holes in zombies, then rethink your stratigy, realocate your stats and try a different weapon set... ther's a lot of things you can do to fix these small-time problems without begin a high level....
ReplyDeleteThe Aggro is NOT a problem for me, if you ever did any of the 2-D "fetch quest" missions, then you should know how to loot efectivly while in aggro.... or, hell, if you've been playing in the inner city on 3-D in the deeper parts... most of this is just player experience, not the ammount of the zombies... at least I think so anyway.
@Sink
ReplyDeleteIs it a matter of killing off the aggro before it kills you or are you supposed to somehow lose the horde? Another question. Would it be better or easier to do missions in SP or MP?
Sorta a noob thing to say, but how the hell do you switch between SP and MP?
ReplyDelete@goober
You can sometimes lose the Aggro by simply walking into a new instance, but you lose the spider loots from where you were.
You could always fight to the death, but unless you brought enough ammo to get where your going AND GET BACK ALIVE! Thenyou should just try to funnel the horde thru a small alleyway or something. if you have a shotgun or a good critical with a Machine Gun, then you just run forward and leave 'em there and run for some fencing or a cluster of obsticles. There's a lot of tactics for this, but just stick to what works for your weapon combo...
I hear a lot of commplaints about melee being worthless now, but it is still effective against everything but the boss types and mabye leapers. Oh and don't go full auto everytime more than 5 zombies get on screen, unless your only cutting thru them for escape... full auto is the main aggro causing weapon, second only to explosions.
Just use low aggro weps to cut down the horde while circling the WHOLE instance, or you'll get surounded and mabye die... if you have a decent agility, then you can melee your way thru this mission. No really, I did, after running out of shotgun shells.
@sink
ReplyDeleteIts under options. You hit F1 while in the Inner City then choose options.
I got a machine gun build. More of a grinder build actually. With a M16, Kris, and Beta 8000.
I was doing the Jenkins Mission and was only able to loot two bodies. I have zylon armor that gives me an agility, and Endurance boost. I also have Reactive SLX which I mainly use in combat where stronger armor is needed. Zylon I use for looting and getting to the mission zones.
So uh. What'd ya think I should do?
@Goober
ReplyDeleteIve heard SP has lower aggro but i dont really know if thats true or not, it probably isnt since I dont know what purpose that would serve. You cannot kill aggro totally in missions so if youre talking about the Jenkins mission just run around a block and go near Jenkins when there are no zombies within your visible range and he should talk to you. After several 'talks' he will agree to go back to FP, which will be the end of the mission.
Melee is not useless. I kill off aggro spikes in endzone all the time with my katana.Including two or three spiders pushing each other and other things.I also have no problem killing off bosses with my katana. I have 102 agility with my armor bonus and 80 crit. I hardly ever get hit and have never been hit by a leaper. chainsaws kinda suck now because you cant do all the damage per second in one hit so I don't use them.
ReplyDeletealso explosives is not an aggro causing weapon. machine guns and shotguns are the only weapons that can cause an aggro spike.
just to clear up some of what I've read. practice and learn to get the skill to put down an aggro spike with melee.
@bkrgamer
ReplyDeleteim pretty sure rifles can also cause aggro spikes, but i could be wrong
@ Ragedeath
ReplyDeleteWell rifles can attract the ones thearea, but it won't (usually) cause more aggro very quickly... it causes more than pistols, but mot by too much really. I'm kinda going off of what I've heard and seen while with other players... but I could be wrong.
@ Bkrgamer
I don't mean that I, personally, don't like melle, I use it all the time. I mean that a few of my friends that I play with on a regular basis, often don't use melee after a spike first hits or when a special infected shows up. I think that's just a personal choice due to their play style tho...
I really just mean that some players don't go all out with melee as often necause they don't think they can take the horde... I think its because of using lower quality armor than they should be... I would rather get a better armor first than get my new wepon from my profiency points.....
Some of this is from observations, and a lot of it is from forum and (this) blog post... but still, I have to admit that I may have put too many opinions in this.....
Back on topic!
I love the missions, and I think that this makes leveling up just that much easier, I 'm not gonna complain about aggro when that can be easily fixed with a few good bullets. The money is a little low for my taste, but I'm in this for the story aspect of it... too many years playing Zelda I guess.
i just made a new account level 8 chef i had to start over becuz my level 42 keep dying in Precinct 13 i came from $100,100- 1000 sumthing and i cant use it becuz its expensive after working so hard work from 2D smh totally diss is BULL$HI+
ReplyDelete@0keano
ReplyDeleteThere is a certain balance you must sustain between doing missions and looting. Just because there are missions there doesn't mean you have to do them, that kind of playing style just isnt sustainable.
Also, not intending to be offensive but if you are constantly dieing at P13 at level 42, I think you just suck.
I love the missions to. Infinite aggro is a great way to level up when you only use silent weapons. I put melee up first, then pistols, and now I got explosives up to 45. Its pretty hard to level up if you can't cause an aggro spike yourself.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing one of dark apparitions vids I realized I was totally screwing up the charlet mission though. I thought she was already dead and I had to loot for the picture. I looted just about everything in those areas and didn't even notice her anywhere. Im gonna have to go back and try that one again.
Just found this guy on YouTube, don't knnow why I've been watching diablo 3 rants for almost 2 hours when I coulda been watching this guy, but now... whatever.
ReplyDeleteDeadExsposerDF
As for EVERYTHING I said about melee weapons earlier, just try and forget those ever existed (i'd delet them myself, but I don't care to at this moment in time), cuz this guy has proved that melee weapons can kill anything, EVEN A GIANT FLAMING SPIDER! OR A PAIR OF WRAITHS!
Granted that he does have better armor than almost all of you, as well as weapons... I still say that bitching about aggro after watching this is like watching a 4 year old get backhanded for crying in wallmart after being denied a new Nerf toy.... man that was funny, never heard a slap ring out so F*cking clearly... didn't even cry afterward, just got up and slowly followed his mom like a injured puppy.
nerf toys suck... lol..... in my bros generation it was all about homemade slingshots and going to River Bend when it was still a forest and killing birds

ReplyDeleteI don't mean that kids like Nerf for any real reason right now, other than society has pretty much goten rid of the whole slingshot thing... due to them not being on TV as often, plus, kids don't see homemade slingshots on TV they see Nerf guns...
And on a personal note.
F*ck Slingshots, I had a compound bow!!! While your firing rocks, I got arrows made out of pipe and glass! Oh, childhood... I will not miss the.
Are we goingt o have to wait another 3 months for an update to come?????
ReplyDelete@Matt
ReplyDeleteIts not That easy at it seems if u think so be my guess u cant manage them spiders are fast as f$%k
Just an update that the mission aggro is causing bugs. I found 2. The first was that I was sprinting and I ran into a leaper.The leaper had it;s back to me and never reacted. I died on contact without the leaper striking me. The second is that I ran around a spider and it struck forward. I somehow managed to take damage while I was directly behind the spider and a fair ways away (well out of melee range. Plz fix these bugs
ReplyDelete@ bkrgamer i hate the aggro cause i am so darn slow . Thats why i am scrapping my acc's (ALL) and making a whole new set - and all of 'em are athletes cause 1. They are 5 lvls ahead as lvl 1 or lvl 200 (any way) and 2. They are faster (Spring Heeled Jack is really fast though i luv that acc XD check it out ) oh - im BirdieMaster1 and yes SHJ (Spring Heeled Jack) is a nub , but check out Dead Frontier: Spring Heeled Jack vs Flamer . So point is i do not like aggro cause i am SLOOOOW
ReplyDeletei can do like 2 flamers in a row at level 1 doctor/ farmer/ any classes without stat boost. but i wouldn't do it with a pen knife it'll take to long just give me a combat knives and i'm your man.
ReplyDeleteAnyone can take down normal flamers, they are more like the old green set zombies from before, but they don't have long arm set... that's what the other special infected are for... I shouldn't be using a Left 4 Dead term, but it just seems to fit.
ReplyDeleteOther than Spiders, is anyone having any real problems with surviving right now? Because it seems like this might get harder at time progresses thru the game.... Bring on the zombies!
sink no just spiders and some what of like a horde full of pukers and boomers when you have melee. not that i can't handle it but it is hard but it is a good problem the kind that doesn't need to be fixed so i don't think it is a problem not like a game theme problem one more like a " oh crap" problem.
ReplyDeletealso i can't wait for the get boomer / bloat/ bone/ tendril blood samples, cause spiders are a pain
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I have with aggro is "the push" that's created by the horde, but its only a prblem if the front of the horde has zombies with ranged attacks like the one with the giant blade arm thing.... or pukes/ bloats, or trendils... my armor usually holds up to most normal zombie attacks tho so I'm okay... mostly.
ReplyDeleteA question, can that siren (two headed girl thing) attract other special infected from the area around you? Because I really don't run into as many of them as I hear most people do... and I always kill her after the first scream, but no special have ever ran at me but one, but I had already shot that bone twice before alerting the airen with a shot in the back.
@Sink
ReplyDeleteThe Siren will draw all nearby infected onto you. So yea specials included.
new update. missions now ask you over and over again if you declined but then want to do it later. though it even looksl iek a bug since it's annoying
ReplyDeleteI find it effing annoying that there is a lot of aggro for "Find Sabrina" and I cannot properly fight never ending amount of zeds coming at me, especially when spiders and tendrils are together. I know you are fixing the aggro but make the level of aggro on a mission fit for a level 15 like myself at precinct :/
ReplyDeleteMy bad im a level 18 but still!

ReplyDeleteHey Neil, I found something interesting that may help with publicity. Since this is game was made with Unity, and uses the Unity webplayer, you should fill out a few things on this link.
ReplyDeletehttp://unity3d.com/gallery/game-list/submit
In order to help with your chances of getting put up on the site, you, or I, should find some good dead frontier videos online. I'm not sure how much time you have, but I'd be happy to help this game out by working on this, thing is though I wouldn't be comfortable putting your name/Creaky Corpse Limited in the necessary box without your full support, or at least authorization, on this. In fact if I don't have that it may be illegal. Seeing as how I'm unable to buy a GM at the moment I figured I'd try to do something else to help with this game. Message me on Dead Frontier with the same name, or leave a comment here on what you think if you like the idea.
yeah i agree with raraldor you could get loads of people joining this game
ReplyDeleteI miss him updating everyday :'( ..... but I'm sure he's working hard! Keep it up Neil!
ReplyDelete@Jinbei, Precinct is for players 25+ man, stick to Doggs or Nastya's for the easy missions :p
ReplyDelete@Alex
ReplyDeleteI my alt, Muscleman, went there at level 13 and he is a level 30+.I stopped using him because of that retarded update with the 2x exp for thirties and up. Besides my main, Jinbei69, makes more than Muscleman does in a day. Mainly because he is a doc.
Can't wait till we get notice board.. and an option to be able to re-take missions, in case you declined by accident -_- Anywho, great job so far Admin!
ReplyDeletejinbei he was talking about the mission not the difficulty of looting or grinding.
ReplyDeleteAdmin, you are doing a great job. No molly coddling saying your over worked or nothing, i just really appriciate all the work you have put into this, making it an enjoyable game that i fell in love with just over a month ago. I plan on becoming a GM A.S.A.P because i think its so good!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, and do things at your own pace, don't let anyone influence you into rushing or taking it too slow :)
Good luck.
Jack
Forgot to say i have never experienced barracading but i can see it will be alot of fun!
ReplyDeleteTried to talk to you in Pastors Base but it seems you were busy, sorry if i annoyed you!
Jack
Is anyone playing the new Dead Island game yet? That game is so beast! Love it! Now if only I had gas money to get to school tomorrow.... that's the price of hardcore gaming for ya... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteAnd Neil (Just learned your name lol) Not saying to take it easy but your family is growing, they are the most important thing in your life so no one(At least no one who knows how much time ou have put into this) when they distract you for a day or weekend. That's just life :)
ReplyDelete"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow just a mystery, but today...Today is a gift! That's why they call it "The Present".
Really nice gaming blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.

WEAPON CORSEP ???
ReplyDeleteHALLOWEEN?????
1000 CREDIT??? GM???
the first time kerberos pande rights something we can read we still don't understand it.
ReplyDelete@ luis.401
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with the Corspe Blaster going down in price on Halloween for GMs.... but it looks like a question.
Simple post, but such powerful meaning.
RELEASE ALL WEAPON CORPSES
ReplyDeleteIN HALLOWEEN ???
^AGREE^
ReplyDeletenow taht admin doesn't wright everyday no one says anything bad good or anything!! i am thinking this game lost players and admin isgetting less money. just what i think.
ReplyDeleteMabye I'm thinking about dead island too much... but can we get some new LOW class weapons? Like throwing knives, or a police baton, or nunchuks! Or... um... farming tools. Like a hoe and sickle and sythe.
ReplyDeleteYep...i've been playing dead island and it rocks so much...admin could take some ideas from it, although ideas i bet he has plenty...the problem is the work that is programming :p
ReplyDeleteits just an idea, but why doesn't he let some players help? someone must know coding maybe he could assign some coding tasks for those ppl, for in-game stuff or credits. I bet they would accept. That way admin doesn't have to pay real money or anything.
Sorry about any erros but im not gonna read what i just wrote...too lazy xD
the site is down for me? it keeps saying the server is taking too long to respond. it has been this way for over 16 hours :( i REALLY want to play T.T
ReplyDelete@ kampeao
ReplyDeleteIo was thinking about some kind of thing players could use to make weapons based on stuff from the real world... like put in a few pictures and stuff and it pops out a weapon model. Or something.... like making a weapon blueprint for Admin to use for the game.... I just really want a sythe!
HALLOWEEN PLEASE!
is the site down for everyone or just me?
ReplyDeleteThat may be a conection problem, I had that same error when I was at my school... the computers there aren't the best but it stopped after a few minutes, just give it about 20 minutes or so, it should work then... unless you have a really crapy conection to begin with.
ReplyDeleteLess than 48 hours untill Gears of War 3!!!
it just came back up. my internet is sorta crappy but all other websites load fine... i dont know what the problem was
ReplyDelete..... >_> and it's down again... this sucks man i got from lvl 1 to 19 yesterday and i wanted to get finish getting level 20 today.. total bummer
ReplyDeletei wish i knew what the problem was.
Hey admin umm please fix this.
ReplyDeleteI have spent about 10k on the mission "Big Brother". It's not that I die or run out of ammo. It's that The 3 Titans I've killed did NOT drop a rusty key. Please make the chance of a Rusty Key being dropped from a titan in that area 100%.

ReplyDeleteI can't even ping it. When I try to, it tries to send 4 packets and ALL 4 are lost >_> i just want to play the damn game T.T
Hmm. New log in screen. At least we know Admin's still doing stuff :P
ReplyDeleteloving the new login screen, btw, i didnt see the message that said it was still in beta, does that mean its out of beta?(i probs missed it, if i did, sorry)
ReplyDeletei will like that npc missions talk should be post in the chat window since we need badly to know whats goin on and for people like me whose follow the story line, it will be a cool addon :D
ReplyDeleteAdminPwn is still doing very little...
ReplyDeleteFirst, great job!!! Hey, I got the package from the lootable van in The Pickup, but there's no Red fist gang in the whole area. I am missing still one objective.
