I think for the sake of simplicity, the easiest thing to do would be to make coke and pepsi much more infrequent (nearly every house I go in has some), and simply have boiling water act as something that makes water safe, and has no effect if the water is already "safe". To specify, poisoned water wouldn't instantly kill, it would begin a very slow increase in pain (that at first can be addressed with painkillers, and if develops, must be addressed with morphine - or whatever). Drinking sea water could have the same effect for the time being, as I can understand how busy Rocket is. The basics remain though - boil your water to stay safe and take a risk if you don't want to. I'd also note that while you may have drunk an unsafe water and become poisoned, it should quench your water need regardless - therefore fixing one problem and creating another.

Thanks for the considered reply! In terms of water supplies, I think very few people would have the inclination or time to shoot and continually poison heaps of supplies to a super detrimental effect. It would more be a way of area denial, mainly used as a reactionary thing, or a specific tactic to force people into a certain area. It would also encourage wider map exploration, and players making certain ponds and hidden fountains their "favourite", most secret place to fill up. As such, I included the boiling water in there because matches are not often easy to find. It would be great to see older players warning newer players of potentially poisonous water, or otherwise helping them clear zombies away from a fountain to get at clean water. I suppose it's just another way to encourage team work/immersion and a great depth of play. I also saw it in Walking Dead haha.

1. Remove them, but replace the player skin with a randomly generated post apocalyptic skin that doesn't make the player look like Ash Ketchum (as is currently the case), and makes us look a little bit more militaristic/camouflaged. Forest camo would really make the most sense. 2. Continue the bandit and humanity ratings. It would be cool to know after the fact whether or not a person was a player killer. It's usually fairly obvious to work out by virtue of their behaviour and consistency in communication.

Added more tips.

So much whining all over the forums. I hear people saying "is anyone friendly in the elektro power plant?" over global, get raped, and then complain that nobody helps each other any more. Seriously, 90% of players can be found in either NW airfield, Chernogorsk or Elektro, and they are PvP death match hell holes. As soon as you enter them, you should understand that you've already thrown your life away. If you want to do some PVZ, go north to one of the border towns, or to ANY town. Chances are you'll be undisturbed for hours. It's baffling to me how people are crying about the death match. You are in a place that has the best supplies in the game and is accessible to all new starting players. It is going to be crazily dangerous. If you need meds, run to hospital, breach and get out as quick as possible. The endless retard train of whining people who have died in the cities is driving me crazy. And guess what, it's not a surprise you died on the roof of Elektro fire station. Nobody is surprised.
