you’re better off with no net. most of the issues are online related. were you able to DL the first update for it yet? And cossey…throw more often. The weapons do not degrade when you throw them at the zombies. I RARELY swung the weapons at them and didn’t have to repair that often. Only when I was surrounded by 4-5 infected did I start looking for high ground and go swinging. Get 4-5 good cleavers/machetes/etc/etc and throw them, especially at the infected who run at you like mad. The heavier the weapon, the more chance it’ll do a critical hit and/or knock them off their feet. I used the same character up until i deleted the game. Had a bad ass devastating moring star and a debilitating sledgehammer that I’d throw. the mace would be a one shot kill on just about any walker/infected/thug zombie and would knock them back on their ass 15-20 feet if it didn’t kill them. ---

I wonder if that’s why I haven’t encountered any issues, I’m playing solo. Not online. Will throw more then. Have some sick weapons too. ---

i’ve been keeping an eye on this game also, but seeing as how there are still a bunch of bugs i might hold off another week. or i might impulsively buy it from steam after i get done writing this sentence, who knows… from everything you guys have said though, it seems to be a pretty kick ass game. ---

I’m not a zombie fanatic like many, but I’ve seen the game play videos on YouTube and it’s looking to be a lot of fun. Great mix of RPG and shooter/destroyer.

I loved Fallout as well, and while it did fit with the theme of the game, somewhat rarely encountering opposition it did make it seem a bit slow. Even Morrowind was a little more fast paced. I’m going over to Cossey’s tonight to check it out first hand. ---

what system? they’re currently addressing the bugs on the PC and xbox versions and don’t have a solid time as to when they’re going to release another patch for the ps3. I’m looking to play again, but won’t until it’s fixed.
