Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp help for a beginner

HI,

Some suggestions:

1. Listen to a walk thru that Valiant 66 did. The link is

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13968355/swamp%20playthrough.mp3

The walk thru is from an earlier version, but should help you a lot.

2. In the swamp folder, there are 3 files you need to check out;

Readme.txt - gives you the main keystrokes you will need.
Changelog.txt - gives you more up to date info you will need. Plus how some 
things work.
keyconfig.ini - gives you all the keys you will need. you can modify this 
file if you wish.

disregard the section on you and a injured person. That scenario is for 
single player and that part is not developed and is not even in the current 
1.8 version.

3. While in the game, you can chat with others and ask them questions as you

go.

4. The entrance for the safe zone is 41 south.  This is your second number 
when checking coordinates. The coordinate system is where the 1st number is 
your X axis, or east - west. The 2nd number is the Y axis, or north - south.

So in the upper north west corner is 1,1. You move east, and the first 
number gets bigger. Go south, and the second number gets bigger.

5. You get experience and rep from killing zombies.

6. You get ammo, weapons, and armor from 2 sources. When you kill a zombie, 
it leaves a corpse. After a bit of time, which is random, it will be 
swarming with a fly sound. Walk over it and it will give you something. The 
second method is to buy it in the safe zone. This costs rep. So if you don't

need, or want something, donate it and increase your rep to buy those things

you want.

7. Stand in the safe zone and check out all your keys. Make sure you know 
what, and where they are. One very helpful thing in the beginning is to use 
your beacons. This will help you find the safe zone.

8. When you start to loose health, go to the safe zone and exit. come back 
and you will be at full health.

HTH.

Hi list:

i was wondering if there is anyone would could help a true newbie with the 
swamp game get me started?

I read the instructions for the game and it said that when I start I am in a

hallway with my mate.

However when I start the game I am in the safe zone and I do not know where 
to go. I turn on my sonar and I hear beeps but do not fully understand on 
how to get out of the area and start shooting.

The instructions are vague. How do I pick up things and how do I get better 
stuff and reputation?

Any help for a true new newbie would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mike

Re: [Audyssey] swamp help for a beginner

2012-01-22 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
The link between loot and killed zombies has been a persistent rumor for quite 
a while now.  Many believe that killing zombies will generate lootable corpses 
in the same spot after some unknown amount of time.  In reality, corpses and 
zombies are completely separate.

Both use the same spawning method, but they are independent.  Each time a 
zombie is killed, a new one is spawned somewhere randomly that is some minimum 
distance from any current players.  Each time someone picks up loot, a new one 
is spawned randomly with the same rule.  This system encourages players to 
explore because the less traveled places will slowly accumulate uncollected 
loot.

Zombies slowly wander and are also pulled toward players and sounds so they 
don't collect in exactly the same way, but if an area has been left alone for 
long enough, zombies will begin collecting there as well.  This is why we 
sometimes find large piles of loot seemingly guarded by big groups of zombies.  
This coincidence might be at the root of the rumor.  I hope this helps clarify 
things.  :)

 Have we verified that loot corpses
 have anything to do with dead zombies?
 I'm not sure that's anything but an urban legend. 
 Jeremy?
