Membership Drive, New Base, and Website Changes

Posted on October 23, 2015 at 09:14 by digitalstimulus

Membership Drive

Welcome all of our new members! Our membership drive is going strong and we have lots of great folks who have joined our ranks this past month.

Right now our new folks are unranked GOOD*. Once zombies are back in the game, I will be looking at setting up some training missions to help some of them transition into squad positions by completing challenges. I also will be looking into inducting and training new HEROs soon.

Going forward, we will be working toward a distribution of about 5 GOOD* for every 1 HERO* on our roster. With our previously set goal of 25 HEROs, this means approximately 125 GOODs will be in our ranks for a total maximum population of 150 active members planned.

New Base

Our base location has moved and we now are back in business with a full sized operating base. We have also taken several measures to prevent our base from being discovered and if discovered from being completely stolen. At the worst case scenario, only some stuff will be stolen upon discovery, not all.

Please do not post the base location or strategy on our website, use Mumble or direct Steam messaging to communicate the base location to other members on our roster, thanks! There are folks out there with nothing better to do than search the internet for base locations and then server hop to find them.

Website Changes

New to the website is the ability for users to register using their Steam account. Steam does not give our website any information about your account that is not publicly available, it only sets up a login token so that our website can authenticate you with Steam if you want. This means if you forget your HERO website password you can still login with Steam.

If you are a current member that wishes to link you steam account, log out then click on “Connect with: Steam” in the login area. You will be directed to Steam login then back to the website where you can link the accounts.

Base Raided by “The Bandit Clan”

Posted on October 20, 2015 at 10:27 by digitalstimulus

Our base was raided and approximately 10 tents and 10 barrels were stolen along with all the gear contained within them. We have since moved the base and have gear in a new location. I will share the new location in Mumble with anyone that wasn’t there for the base recovery mission.

They were kind enough to leave a note at least, however they only identified themselves as “The Bandit Clan”. I am looking into the identity of the thieves, mainly to find out how our base was comprimised. We are fairly certain which clan this was, and I have confirmed IP addresses and physical locations of the perpetrators. This information will not be shared and will only be used to link the perpetrators to their identity. No retaliation will be done other than perhaps a counter base raid if we are able to discover where our gear went.

If our base was stumbled upon in-game, outside information will not be used for a counter base raid. However, I have good reason to believe that our base was raided due to “meta-gaming” which is using out-of-game information and knowledge to gain an advantage in-game. Basically, I believe that our base location was known before the clan entered the server.

Also a surprising find is that the yellow protector cases seemed to survive a reset. These might fair well for stashing a small amount of gear.

HERO Base Camp

Posted on October 10, 2015 at 00:28 by digitalstimulus

From what I understand, we have a couple of bases on our home server. Here are pictures I took from main camp after I sorted through all of the inventory. I was sick and had time since I was bored.

Not pictured are 3 trucks nearby.
