I thought it was clearly stated that there would be no NVGs in SA.

I can already imagine capturing a group of two guys and force feeding one to the other as he screams in terror :D

Well I don't know how applicable that is to your situation. But I had a friend get shot and killed just before a server restart and after the server restart he was alive again with all his gear at his last location. I think there are still some bugs with regards to registering your current status on the master hive.

The majority of what is in the game are place-holders anyway. I have heard talks about at least having an animation eventually for the dial for zeroing. That is just eye candy but I sure hope they do implement the ACE system in one form or another so not everyone and their mother can just snipe anyone at e.g. 800 meters with the blink of an eye. I for one am against mildots until/if a proper sniping system like in ACE is implemented because it will just make sniping easier than it is now.

There are plenty of long range scopes out there without mildots. Mildots "doesn't equal to" long range shooting or vice versa, although they certainly do help a lot if you know how to use them.

The look of the scope has nothing to do with it. Most good long range scopes in the civilian market have those exact dials themselves whether they have mildots or not. Just because it has a lot of dials it doesn't mean it is military grade. That is like really really uninformed reasoning right there.

Yes because in a Zombie apocalypse you can order/buy any scope you want. Impeccable logic as always...Also mildots aren't as easy to use in real life as you make it sound and people not buying scopes without mildots...lol. Do some research buddy before you open your mouth. As for a serious answer, if you have the ingame map, you can pretty much estimate to the nearest 5-10 meters on how far a target is if you know where you are and where your target is on the map which is great because it makes sniping actually challenging and more realistic. However right now past about 200-300 meters the mosin with the long range scope hits to the left of center scope for some reason (even with a long range scope in pristine condition), probably a bug. As for the ACE mod, I would welcome the idea of more realistic sniping.

Gag yourself with rags. Always works for me.

Irony? All I see is a thread wasting everyone's time.

You will have to figure out where you are with a compass and by interpreting the ingame/out of game map. Which is how it should have been from the get go imo.

And people managed to get trolled by a total noob. Thread success. :lol:

Wrong, it will stay there as long as you are on the server and the server didn't restart. At least right now that is how it works.

PVE server shouldn't exist period.

None of you heard of Saline bags I guess

As long as you are on the server your dead body will stay there. I had a firefight and the guys body was there 1 hour after he died because his respawn button actually worked. 99% of the time however the respawn button won't work and you have to rejoin the server.

Have you actually read the other posts? As someone said earlier most of the time the respawn button doesn't work (i.e. you click it but you won't respawn) so you are forced to exit the server and join again to get a spawn. You can actually loot someone if the respawn button works (happened only 1 time for me) and they didn't rage quit the game :) Yes it is pretty stupid but it is also pretty alpha and will be fixed. Also your comment about real life to justify your argument:

It is a cut-throat world, you did what you had to do to survive. I wouldn't feel bad if I was you.

In Soviet Russia AK-47 civilians YOU!

It screams "hobo".

That is one hell of an assumption. What makes you think it wasn't just another of their m8s catching up? Or perhaps someone totally unrelated to the group who decided to check the compound out?

Why separate hives? If you want 1st person only play on 1st person servers, if you want to play on 3rd person go and play on those servers. You don't need a separate hive to have both options...

There has been talks about an update as early as Tuesday.

Fyi, zombies only spawn at server restart at the moment.

Do you even know what an indie game is?

Gearing up from the ground up is fun in itself. So when I lose everything I first try to figure out what I did wrong and then just get on with it and have fun re-gearing.
