Want a reimbursed minibike?
« on: September 15, 2015, 10:23:43 pm »
If your minibike "vanishes" one of two things have happened most likely.

1) It is somewhere on your back-trail (the path you were taking)

Check the path you took; obviously it helps if you used roads. Can be caused by latency/sync issues with server. You think you traveled x amount of meters when in fact the server last recorded you moving at distance of x minus y.

2) This is rare...it may be further along in the direction you were going.

This can also happen when you go out of sync with the server.

3) It is under the ground at the location it vanished. This is the most common.

Depth can vary; listen for the "clunking" sound and keep digging the area.

The clunking sound and an example of locating the bike through that can be found in the video below; however, minibikes no longer fall through the world and thus cannot be found in the logs listed as "fell off the world".

Please help me and help yourselves by learning to troubleshoot this issue on your own/with friends and/or withother players help; it makes my "job" easier as well as get you your minibike faster.

I say "use minibikes at your own risk" due to the fact chasing down lost minibikes in previous builds took up so much of my time I eventually got rid of them. Lost minibikes are another reason they are in the vote store; 1 vote=minibike.

So if you lose one and don't want to spend the time tracking them down then take a minute (seconds once you got the links bookmarked) and vote. I understand you may lose them due to forces beyond your control but you need to realize this is part of the gaming experience, especially since you are in an alpha MP game designed for 8 players on a server which supports 50. All in all I think we handle it well!



THIS IS THE OLD WAY ( MINIBIKES NO LONGER 'FALL THROUGH THE WORLD")

Note the time (real-life) as well as the coordinates. Then provide me with context; tell me what the circumstances were.(This still applies; you always want to note details, even if it is only for you to troubleshoot).

For example: I was riding down a hill towards a campsite and zombies spawned there. I got off my bike and heard a weird crashing sound and when I killed the zombies the bike was gone. The time was 13:05 EST and the coords were 1500N 2300E. I was riding Sw from the town at  x, y.

Post  the issue in support please; if you want a faster response PM me on these forums or if possible, poke me on Teamspeak. Posting in a non-relevant forum or using in-game chat/ Steam PM may not get the results you desire or in a timely fashion.




Note that the quality of parts is random (just like when you vote) and this means not governed by me.

I am not going to over-complicate things: if the log shows you lost a minibike because it fell through the world then you get a new minibike. The quality of parts is random so you could get purple parts but you could get faulty parts. I can understand if you are frustrated but it usually evens out in the end...sometimes you get fortunate with loot or the /vote, sometimes you don't.

This can also happen, follow the same format as before. Note the coordinates and PM me here (preferred), or try me in TS (If I am there). PM is the best for a more timely response (I check the forums on my phone when afk).

THIS USUALLY IS ACCOMPANIED BY A REPEATED CRASHING SOUND

Quick story....  This video was my first interaction with anything to do with Ground Zero and at the time I had no idea I would end up playing on this server just mere coincidence that I found this and am here now.  I had hit lvl cap on a different pve only server and through some dumbassery I got myself killed at a passn'gas when a zed decided to punch the vehicle or the oil cans I was standing next too.  BOOM!!! This death was significant as I had no zgate or lcb home or anything nearby and I had died after a long 7-8 game day nomadic beer/coffee fueled nonstop sprint directly SW to find the frontier and build a new home on this server (45,000 km out I think) so despite the risks I built an epic minibike and grabbed 100 gallons of gas and crossed my fingers every 7-8km when I jumped off to refuel the bike.   First few times I was lucky and refuel and repair went without problem.  At like 27km a mere 3km from my destination I jumped off to fuel and to my horror I heard a horrible sound and watched the minibike disappear into the sand.  Cant say I didnt expect this might happen but yeah I was a mad sadpanda and after running the last 3km I got my backpack and resumed my quest.  When night fell I immediately looked on youtube and found this video.  Unfortunately for me the server admins do not reimburse but it was nice to hear that somehwhere out there minibike reimbursement is possible.
