Finally got onto the server last night briefly. First time in and things were going well. Grabbed some grass, rocks, sticks etc. Made a stone axe and started chopping a tree. Just before the tree was chopped down 2 soldier zombies and a biker zombie rape me from behind. Silly me to assume there was Day 1 protection lol.
It took most of my time to get back to the backpack to get all of my profession's gear. I travel on since it was late afternoon and I had no place to camp for the night. I was able to make a bow before realizing I'm too noob to make arrows in any way, shape, or form.
I find a cabin at least, previously broken into. I jump into the window and peek in. Only 2 sleepers so figure this might be doable. I sneak over to the first one which of course wakes up before I can club him. We have a small brawl where I'm mostly nailing headshots. I hit him enough in the head thinking this mod would be cake if headshots are utilized enough. No such luck. I had to run back out the window to open spaces to try and finish him off. Another zombie outside follows the one from inside so now I'm dealing with a total of 2. The wooden club breaks. Wasn't expecting that...
I get onto some pavement outside the house and run away a bit to craft a new club. 30 seconds later I'm back in business. I kill the first zombie and start working on the second. I get pretty hurt in the process as they got a good hit off on me. Another club breaks. This time I'm making 2 clubs. Okay 2nd zombie down. It's about 1800 so I gotta get busy on this cabin for some nighttime protection.
I run back in through the window and 2 more sleepers had spawned in the corner where I just cleared out that zombie. Not to mention there's now a dog in the house which wasn't there previously. Great...
I run back out since I don't have time to deal with a dog AND 2 more sleepers with just a couple crappy clubs. <---alliteration
I get back onto the pavement trying to scope out a good location to hide out. Just then the dog comes running out of the house. I begin my jog. Along the way there are all sorts of zombies that I really don't need to add to my dog train so I'm zigging in between my zags. I've been running quite some time but I never did hear a doggie "I give up" sound so in my gut I'm sure it's still following me but in my head I'm thinking I really don't know this server yet so maybe he's gone. I turn around and he's on my tail. Back down the grassy hill I had run so far up and onto the pavement again. I decide the only way I'm gonna live with having all my stuff is to cheat and log out. Unfortunately I had 9 health left and was almost out of stamina and didn't think I had enough time to hit escape and quit with as close as the dog was. I try it anyway and that ends up being death number 2 on my first day.
I quit for the night only for the reason that sleepers spawning so quickly in a place I'm trying to clear out is a bit unrealistic and difficult. Other than that I had a good time with what I saw and the items looted. I'm sure I'll enjoy the mod more once some minor issues like these are worked out.
I know the vanilla version is still having some issues where sleepers spawn in areas repeatedly but for the True Mod version it's a bit much. I love a challenge don't get me wrong but I'll have to wait a bit on the mod assuming this issue will go away.
Great work! I love the palm trees.
