Fighting the undead - Now with friends! (build 393)

So um, I'm getting massive CPU usage suddenly with this new update. It was fine yesterday but now it's messed up, I'll have like 5 fps on a small match O_o

 

I just do my usual role of "That guy who can get through, over, under any wall or defence". As a knight though I mean, dont often play archer, sometimes go offensive builder. I don't know why but yeah after every big update i find it harder to play as knight lol.

 

bombs are weird kinda awesome hats,they should make create your own that so we can insert a image of a hat or head and its created ingame and saved for our computer only

 

YAY, HATS ARE THE BOMB! good work on those.
and bashing and hit contact is still not the best that is was, back before zombies :(
but at least combat got slightly better. :)

 

Gj on that FliesLikeABrick. can anyone help me why shielding seems to be so slow as in within one second i shield and things still hurt me like bombs or arrows at the same time is the same with rapid change of direction

hey im a zombie and i find this offensive
(jk)
EDit: what about double notch towers ie this

 

you can, if they "fix" this bug, still make a diagonal pattern:


<-- awesome builderdude




<-- Zombie proof wall, effectively blocking squeezing.


<-- mad zombie

 

Doesn't work.

Latest build, even walls like this;










Skeletons and zombies phase through. They climb in the notches and pass right through.

EDIT: Recorded video of the bug, uploading to Mantis.

 

I was just reporting it. Hahaha. I generally have pits/proper defenses/etc, just noticed that happened and reported it.

 

Very nice update can't find many bugs :)

i'm abit of a noob at zombie fortress and there's many things i don't know how to do and stuff that i know I'm not good at...
(take a screenshot of this: Me admitting I'm a noob) :p
here's a few questions (that will make me look like a novice) :p

~are zombies immune to spikes? i'd make spike traps that would kill any human but zombies just walk through them :O
~is there a way to destroy Portals?
~and in a Zombie server do the BOTS take up a human slot? I'm hosting one and i need to know if i need to ~increase max players.
~and is the best way to destroy the flying zombie things by using an archer?
~also when I put down stone blocks sometimes it acts as if a bomb has gone off where i placed it? why?
~what are you actually meant to do in zombie fortress?

 

To answer your questions...

Dunno if immune, but they will destroy them after a while.
There is. Kegs or arrow spam are your best bet.
I think bots take up a human slot. Can't be positive though. I am about 90% sure they do though, as spawning a bot on the MOLE server takes up a slot.
Archers pwn Wraiths (flying zombies).
Stone blows up if placed too close to the zombie spawn points.
Survive! As long as possible! Destroy zombie spawners! Build an epic fortress!

 

I'll answer as best as I can Creille:

1. Spikes effect zombies, but its hard to tell because they don't gib the bodies.
2. You can destroy portals, it just takes more hits than you would think. My favorite way is spamming arrows into it.
3. Last time I checked they did, but I may be wrong.
4. Yes
5. Sometimes your stone will blow up if its near the edges of the map, and or blocking where zombies come out. This is a sort of prevention on cheap tactics.
6. Survive.


I even refreshed the page to check before I posted.

 

To answer your questions.

-Zombies are not immune to spikes, they just break after x amount of steps on.
-Yes, bombs, slashing, arrows Etc.
-Bots do take up a slot.
-I don't know much about wraiths, just if it catches on fire, RUN!
-This happens because you could just camp and the zombies wouldn't be able to get out, so a anti-camp type mechanism in a way.
-Destroy all portals I guess, no one really knows.

Also, I just got a hotfix, any specific reasons?

Edit~ Why am I so slow!
Edit~ I also noticed that coins glitch dramatically more than normal, you used to get the occassional glitch, but it's constant now, could this lead onto multiple coin pillage like someone reported earlier in this thread?

 

Wow 4 reply's i'm loved :P that's fast and efficent work ^^^ :)

 

Hold on... You are not premium...
