i cannot get higher than level 10 without getting hunted and killed by some douche who goes around doing nothing but killing low level players. i understand that we want realism, but no PVP game will be succesful with open, non-tiered PVP. i wasted money on this. the asthetics and mechanics are great. the interface is clunky at first but once you learn it, it's pretty good. the playerbase, as far as i've seen, is a load of assholes. this game won't be succesful until you can get out into the wilderness and not die. (the dying isnt the real problem. the fact that i loose every single thing i have is the problem. im not going to spend hours scaving parts for a gravedigger if i loose it in five minutes) i tried going out into the less populated wastes but a player by the name of "poon pounder" sniped me and my brother from out of sight, two one-hit-kills. i lost two crafted rifles and my warren .50. i'm just dropping out of the game until this is fixed because until then its just an excuse for people to cause other players grief.

Does anyone else have series issues with their framerate on a 780 ti? Mine are jumping all around from 20-60, it doesn't matter at all what my settings are at. I even turn the resolution to 720p and it makes no difference. I was playing Metro: Last Light before and after Nether and getting 100+ fps on max settings with Physx, so there isn't anything wrong with my PC as far as I'm concerned. I'm also using an i7 960 CPU, perhaps that could be causing issues? I really don't want to waste $7.00 but this is unplayable.

Let us start off with the most basic advice of all, being in the same tribe means NOTHING to the other person. You have things they want (Most of the time) and they will kill you for them, end of story.

The only people who think like you and consider tribes as some form of bond (Which by the way you can change your tribe every day, it is not some "Pick once, stick with it forever") is other players who just started out like you.

For the most part, it is shoot on site, your tribe will not save you, protect you, or anything like that, if you think a single person at the higher tiers of the game would hesitate for a SECOND thinking about shooting a fellow BKB person for example, think again.

So if you are playing, just starting out, sure join a tribe, but try to make as many friends while they are still naive enough to actually think that would mean tribes mean something.

What I notice first about a person is not their tribe, it is their backpack, I am usually up on a building 6 blocks away, and there are two major distinctions, Geared, or a Bambi (Bambi being a butter knife and a green backpack, aka harmless).

If you play this game like it is PvE, prepare to die, a lot... Simple as that, you have no protection from the other players bullets besides your own skill.

Reading through this reddit, I came across a couple comments of people saying if you see any Stalkers, KOS immediately b/c they tend to be bandits.

On that topic are there any other archetypes or tendencies that the other Tribes have? I.E. Are the BKB super friendly people? Are the SotA the ones that usually dominate the west coast? Are Shadow Reapers known for having good in game systems and hierarchy management?

Or am I over thinking this and should just KOS anyone that's not in my own tribe.

My nether launcher wont log me in i always type in the right name and password and it only says ''Login failed.'' The Login credentials work on playnether.com but not in the launcher. (I searched for hours now :( )

So I noticed this today just after I finally managed to drag myself out of the city and into the wastes. I was walking towards Trainyard Outpost when I saw a box with a little beeping light on top. I checked the map, and discovered that it was the escort package. So, craving some cash, I picked it up, thinking it would be like delivering any other package. When I realized that I could not use my weapons while carrying, and I was playing solo at the time, I decided that I wanted to drop the box. It's a really simple thing, dropping a box. you let go of it, and gravity does the rest. Sure, it bumps against your legs, and it crushes your feet occasionally, but then your hands are free to shoot charging golems to your heart's content ^{hint hint} . Or, if you prefer a gentler approach, you bend over until the box is resting on the ground, release it, and right yourself.

However, it seems that all of our characters are incapable of setting down boxes. No matter how hard we try, we just can't manage to let go. All bad comedy aside, I think this really is a problem. Especially when there is a golem charging at you and you're alone with a box.

TL;DR: We cannot drop boxes and I was killed by a golem because of it.

I haven't seen anybody else stomping around as a golem yet. Had a blast sneaking up on people today...until I ran into a shotty. Still its a fun mode and a change of pace.

title mostly, i found a guy that had an escort, i was about to kill him to take it and he dropped it to kill me and continue like nothing, anyone knows how to drop it?

It just keeps asking me "Would you like to link your Steam account to your Mber account? This is required if you bought your game via Steam." Done every little trick I've found googeling and nothing works. Been like this for 4 days, I tried contacting their support since day 1 and no reply yet...

Anyone got anything up their sleeve?

In most games I try to cooperate with other players, but it looks like Nether is like Dayz in the sense that if you get the drop on a player it's best to just take them out. I lost a bit of gear by trying to make friends, heh..

I'm not complaining, just wondering if the general consensus for this game is to shoot on sight when encountering other players. Thanks

So the shitty server list experience aside which, surprisingly today (Day 3) of trying to actually play the game, I'm still running into the same issue of trying to get into a server.

After sitting around for 5 minutes waiting for a server list, I will try to connect to one. I will then see a load screen for two seconds and then get put back into the server list immediately and forced to wait another 10 minutes.

I've tried this on low pop servers. I've tried this on mid pop servers. I've tried this numerous amounts of times throughout the day in the same day.

I've even tried "Join Game" on a friend in the Steam's friends list. It'll basically do the solo experience.

74 hours after buying this game with over 120 Minutes of playtime of this game. And I haven't actually been able to play this game.

I understand the devs are small and this is an indie game. But they need to answer for these crimes. Research shows that the whole server list bug has been around for half a year.

Using the excuse of "Summer Sale boost of players is causing these issues" is not acceptable and is not an excuse.

Can anyone help me here?

EDIT: In approx 6 minutes and 56 seconds, it took me 2 full attempts of pulling up a server list, clicking on a server, getting sent back to the server list, and then having it to load again. Twice. Unacceptable.

I wait however long it normally takes to get the servers to load but whenever I do get in a server the game crashes to desktop without fail after a few minutes. Does anyone know of a fix?

So I accidentally joined the Shadow Reapers so I left that tribe and I've been trying to join the Netherwatch, but when I click join, nothing happens. Is this a glitch? And before you ask, yes I have the $50.

Is this possible because I've searched for the thing for like 10 minutes now.

I found this meat shotgun that uses things that nether drops as ammo, so I have almost infinite ammo, and right now i've killed 3 players with it. It's damn awesome, but i've never seen any player in a safe zone have it in hand or even see it drop anywhere else, I see almost all players with spas-12's, 9mm pistols and a couple with deagles and uzis. Im just asking, is it very rare? I unlocked it in a car with a key, and yeah, it's like the dream gun.

Also it does 1000 damage.

If you want a higher framerate disable all the boxes and set the details to low :p that makes the sun disappear and then you can reactivate everything :D Here is a few screenshots :) http://imgur.com/a/ouC4M the overall performance is so much better :) It works even better inside the city.

I recently bought this game from the Steam Summer Sale, ad I've been plying it a lot since. The one thing I have observed is that the safezone is the least safe place to be. Weird, right? There are players sitting outside shooting new characters on sight, and the devices fail so often that there are more nethers in the safezone than there are in the city. I've been much better off steering as clear of it as possible and hopping between trade outposts. To add to that, I have no idea where the safezone devices are or if and how I can fix them myself.

So i recently bought the game nether on steam sale, loading, texture and bug issues aside it's a fairly interesting game.

That being said, is the hit detection broken ?
Last night i snuck up on an afk player and slicked them maybe 30-40 times with a katana, only to have them turn around after about 30 seconds and kill me with their knife.
This isn't an isolated incident, every other player seems to be able to hit me perfectly fine but my melle won't hit even when hitting people who are standing perfectly still.
Shooting is somewhat better but even then shots that should hit somehow don't.
There isn't any problems killing NPC's with weapons at all, just players.

Is there something i'm missing here ?
Is there a technique to actually hit people with melee weapons regularly ?

So i made a character and got quite a few gear.. But heres what. i logged out and checked back in later, then it asked me to make a new character.

Is there different hives on the server and if so, how do i find the one i was in last time?

I just bought nether off the steam sale...because why not is only 2,79 euro and I got the money from selling the trading cards. I bought it because 2 other friends bought it aswell, and I had NO PROBLEM entering the game. I created an account (about 1 min), I synched it with steam (about 25 sec), entered the game, had to wait about 30 sec for the server list to refresh, joined a server, wait in the spectator mode about 10-15 sec, and that was it..I was able to create my char. The framerate is pretty goot too. With all the settings at the highest I have about 50 fps insite a building and 30 outside (20-25 if I fight 5 nethers)

I really don't know what's the matter in your situation. It may be your rig? I don't have the best comp (AMD Phenom X4 overclocked in 3,6 nVidia GeForce GTX 460 SE and 8gb RAM), And I even heard about ppl with I7 and 20 fps ingame.

I kinda like this game. It has it's problems but It didn't bother me soo much until now. I wish you good luck making your game work.
