    Improving the respawn system

    I like what you said about starting with less equipment, and the respawn timer wouldn't be a bad idea if it didn't get out of hand, but you're talking about starting with x minutes and then adding more time from there as a punishment for dying, which wouldn't encourage people to get better, it would just piss them off and they'd quit. Sure, we can sit here and say, "Good! If they don't want to get better then fuck 'em if they can't handle it!", but this is a terrible way to market the game.
  2. @pack.wolf I get what you were saying, but punishing the players for anything other than cheating is horrible idea. Seriously, what do you think would be the repercussion of an accumulative thirty second respawn penalty for each death you had? Do you think the game would have got to it's 90k players if they knew they had to wait five minutes just so they could get back to playing?
  3. There's the full quote' date=' and my point still stands. [/quote']You clearly can't read or understand the English language, not once did I say those are my views, I said that is the only way the two could be balanced out to be on the same level of difficulty. I then go on to say I don't like to kill people as that is my own prerogative and way I like to play. I couldn't care less about the bandits or this topic, and I will kill them if they threaten me, the game is fine in my opinion. Like I said, stop putting words in my mouth, I've said nothing in the context you are insinuating. I'm putting words in your mouth just the same as you put word into the mouth of the post you were commenting about. I replied to what the guy said in his post, YOU were the one who went out of your way to tell me what HE meant by his post, so it's a safe assumption to make that these veiws were YOURS and not HIS.
  4. There's the full quote' date=' and my point still stands. [hr'] You do realize that gimping and putting at a disadvantage are synonymous, right? Unless we're changing the meanings of words now, your post just contradicted not only itself, but evey one that came before it.
  5. What advantage? Every player has three ways to get better gear: 1. Find it 2. Kill for it 3. Someone gives it to you I've had this current character for going on four days now' date=' and haven't come across a single person since I made it past the tree line on the coast, thus I haven't killed anyone. In fact, in the 20 some odd hours I've logged in the game I've only killed two people, but have had countless opportunities to do so. so the game doesn't force anything on you, it's all about the choices you make. Nothing should be punished' date=' unless it's the cheating/hacking/exploiting I mentioned in the OP. If you're constantly getting killed by peopl erunning around on the beach, then you're the one who is doing something wrong. Claiming that people are stupid and griefing because they choose to run up and down the coast killing whoever they see is just more whining. Anyone who's played this game for more than a few hours should know where the red-zones are, and doesn't have any excuse for getting shot down while in those areas.
  6. I'm by no means a techy, so I don't know if this would even work, but what if groups were allowed to plant flags in their bases and the area around that flag became a no-spawn zone? If you log out within that distance you are spawned on the edge of the perimeter when you log back in. Yes, even members of the team who built the bases would be affected, but you wouldn't have to worry about anyone logging in behind your lines.

    Looting zombies?

    There have been very few military zombies I've killed that weren't carrying some type of ammo magazine, so I 'd say they are always worth checking. Residents and hunters are kinda meh though.
  9. Bandits are the minority of this community, by a 9:1 last time I checked, which is completely "real". Yes, people tend to band together in situations like this, but there will ALWAYS be those who don't, which is perfectly represented here.

    New Website!

    Seeing the pics made me wish the zombie density was higher; what they have there is a horde, what we have in game is a get-together. :( The site does look amazing though!

    Which T-Shirt design would you buy?

    The marketability of #1 is pretty limited, but it would be a nice prize for the winners of the competitions you guys have going on. #3 isn't bad, but it doesn't really advertise anything. That being said, #2 gets the vote.
  12. Had this happen twice, and both times were among the more memerable moments I've had with this mod. Both of your are ready, and more than willing, to blast the other, but niether wants to draw the attention of the zeds in the area because the subsequent loss of ammo/life wouldn't be worth it, so you both slink back into the darkness and continue about your way, secretly hoping you'll be able to trail the other out of the town and finish what never started. Love it.

    Zombies eating dead player's bodies?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen them eating a body before. Some guy tried to Mak me as soon as I spawned adn he ended up being chased down by a few zeds; when I caught up with him they were crouched over his body and didn't move so I figured it wa best to continue on.
  14. The only thing that gets me is the sound of something hitting chain link. Puts me on edge every time.
  15. Just read a post about top tier weapons being too easy to come by, so I had this thought: Rather than finding the weapon outright, how about needing to find and assemble a few parts?
  16. Pat_the_Bunny

    Weapon parts for the more 1337 weapons.

    Ha, that was the point though.
