so do the devs pay you by the hour or do they pay you on a per-post basis?

>>14702244

no

ive just had fun playing this game and suggest other people to play it

Such a (((coincidence))) you make a thread about a 2013 game now that it's sequel it's going to be available summer of this year.

>>14702256

this thing has a sequel? I didn't even know it was had an active community. I played that thing back when it was in 2d.

>>14702256

Not a coincidence at all, that's the reason i want to get back.

>>14702237

I played it back in the day, i had a melee focused fireman.

It was fun but the long walking distances bored me to day so i quit it, also someone hacked my account, sold all my shit and left me with a pink t-shirt.

>>14702255

>he does it for free

>>14702279

That looks liek a third person resident evil.

Also, how did you get scammed?

>>14702237

Dont expect much of a proper discussion about videogames on nu-v. Id wager most decent folk have already left or have taken up to lurking.

I played it years ago for quite a while. Picked it back up again a few months back just for the heck of it to maybe relive old nostalgia. To my luck not much had changed. I was actually surprised it was still alive. That being said, the game gets very boring very quickly. combat is nothing but kiting circles around a zombie until its dead.I do still like the atmosphere though. Maybe ill take a look at the sequel.

I started playing back when if first came out in like 2008, when it was 2D. I kept playing it across a few accounts until shortly after the 3D version came out. Has anything changed in the past few years?

I always felt like it got too slow after the first few levels, at least for melee. You have to grind forever just to level up, at which point you are rewarded with slightly faster movement speed and no new weapons until you level up a second time and get to move up to the next melee weapon, which is imperceptibly better. And because of how aggro-happy the game is, melee is basically your only option when you're looting, at least until you get to the level 200-tier weapons. And this is all before you get to level 100, at which point your progression slows to 1/5 what it formerly was because you only gain 1 skill point per level instead of 5. So you have to level up ten times to move up to the next, imperceptibly better weapon.

Honestly, it would be better if the game cut down the aggro mechanic a bit so you could actually use firearms a little while looting without attracting hordes of creatures, as well as making it so that melee weapon strength increased semi-linearly instead of being shit until the later-tier weapons, at which point they became godlike.

>>14702377

devs wanted a more "survival horror" feel to it

>>14702384

you could use handguns and semi-auto rifles without attracting too much aggro.

i forgot to mention the event that going on rn that gives all players 100% speed, damage, loot, exp.

almost up for 1 month

>>14702417

Really? I only tried a couple times, but every time I tried using any kind of firearm I'd get swarmed. Maybe that was just RNGesus though.

>>14702465

I had a melee character but i still used handguns or carbines from time to time and i didnt have a hard tiem with aggro as i did with my shooting guy.

>>14702465

it only attracts on-screen zeds, using it long enough would attract a lot of zeds

>>14702472

i had a lvl 48 char currently ded atm using a dual blade, a beta rx4, and an uziel 14mm with max critical. The dual blade is very effective when looting cuz it could kill common zeds in 1 or 2 hits and a tendril in 2 hits, and i use the uziel for the aggro but it's not really that effective

>>14702511

Heh, i too had the RX4.

I used it for aggro spikes to kill off the fast zombies and the melee to deal with the slow ones.

>>14702571

The higher i went was the siren.

>>14702606

Woah, i missed a lot of the game then.

Yeah I played it several years ago.

I actually brought a years membership then never played the game because I realized it sucked and I was a dumb kid

I sometimes check in to see what my limited edition weapons are worth, I have the corpse machine gun.

The game from what I've seen minimal 0 development, they just raise the level cap then release new exclusive weapons for those levels. What are they up to now? it was 110 when I played. Ping and sync is still fucked I imagine. Only a single server in Dallas america so the "multiplayer" is non-existent if you're not located close to it with a good connection.

fond memories:

>buying a battle axe for 1 million dollars before the market crash

>looting a m60

>looting several katanas and battle axes in a single run

IMO the game went to shit went when they reloased the new areas beyond x40 y17 >>14702606

I never liked the new enemies in the new zone, they were too powerful/aggro for a f2p player.

I made 3 accounts way back, but Unity3D is trash. Also, was too p4w with the weapons. The 2d version was much better.

>>14702636

>what are they up to now?

a sequel

>it was 110 when i played

it's now 325

>buying a battle axe for 1 million dollars before the market crash

battle axe costs 20k now

>>14702674

>>what are they up to now?

>a sequel

I meant the max weapon levels

>>14702636

>the new enemies in the new zone, they were too powerful/aggro for a f2p player.

not really, I'm a f2p player i dont have much of a problem with those nigger zombies

>>14702714

You're not a f2p player wtf your gear is insanely good.

>>14703241

dude i am a f2p, most p2p are using limited edition gear far better than mine

JUST GOT REKT BY A DYING NIG TITAN FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU!!

>>14702237

It is couch co-op or lan?

>>14703627

mmorpg

>>14703716

>if you weren't premium theyd delete your account after 7 days of inactivity

When did you play this game? My account is still fine after leaving it for 2 years

Tell me more about the sequel instead because I want absolutely nothing to do with this game.

>>14703746

Devs want no more p2p. Things that would cost money would be cosmetic only. Also, no more carrying a big ass minigun and they'll add crafting and upgrade mechanics

>>14703744

I totally misread their chart. I thought it meant like

>Level 1: 10 accounts chosen randomly get removed after 7 weeks

>>14703744

OOOHH. That's why my previous acc disappeared. Thank goodness its naked

>>14703756

Is the sequel playable right now? What's the name?

>>14703775

Not yet, but will release soon. Its name is simply dead frontier 2, it wont take place in the city of the first game afaik

Oh right at least crit-agi build was satisfying, it's the only way to play this game actually, you die in one or two hits but you can dish decent damage and dodge well, not like you got much in your arsenal starting out so the knife end up being your only weapon most of the time.

>>14703797

Got a crit build rn. Everytiem i encounter a boss, i'd panic then my hands start shaking like hell, i pause then run to next area if the boss isnt aggroed

Are there benefits in being in a clan outside of bringing friends? Is there a /v/ clan we can join or no?

I've been looking at the Serious Discussion part of the forums, it looks like leftists have been trying to start shit and have been proven wrong.

>>14706199

dunno,never been in a clan. But i've heard your clan gets a dusk shop when it's part of the rankings

Mang I used to play this shit all the time years ago, had a blast. Tried to play it again but its honestly boring as fuck. hopefully the sequel will be good, theres not enough zombie mmorpgs

I started a new character to check out how the game has been. The early levels are a lot of fun actually, running around and looting stuff is a lot of fun just due to the sheer size of the city. But it becomes really tedious later because you have to walk 15+ blocks to get to decent loot until you get to the secronom bunker. Currently level 38 atm, hanging out at Fort Pastor. I'm having enough fun that I think i might buy a membership and or some credits, plus any credits bought will carry over to the sequel as well (or so the dev claims). The dev also said that the new game is going to be very different in terms of how microtransactions work. He said that only cosmetic items are going to be purchasable with real money. If that is the case, then the sequel will almost certainly be much more enjoyable. One of the big problems with Dead Frontier right now is that you really do need a membership to get the best loot, and spending credits is the only way to get certain weapons. You can even spend ~500 dollars on a minigun with unlimited ammo iirc. Taking away these types of transactions in favor of cosmetics only is a huge step in the right direction, in my opinion. We'll have to see how the development comes along, since devs have lied in the past. At the same time, it is a free to play game so you don't risk much by trying it out.

>>14706704

if you're going to secronom, keep in mind that it's surrounding blocks are filled with bosses. I suggest you go there during void time

Played it when it came out

Found it meh tier

It's p2w

Early Access = cancer.

>>14710553

It's a free to play game
