I'd enjoy an alpha code if any of you still have one to spare. Thanks in advance.

I'd like to suggest the ability to harvest some of the items in game that are curently just for looks. You guys have all been hungry alone on the outskirts of some sleepy looking town looking at zombies and decided to crawl to find a can of sardines... On the way to some of the buildings that look like they might yeild a food item you are literally crawling through farmland or in yard that have gardens... I've seen pumpkins and all sorts of other things "growing" that in a real world situation I would just eat and say bump the sardines... It would be awesome to one day be able to plant or maintain a food production source... It should be low yeild and having alot to do with the weather cycle... should be fully exploitable by other players that happen upon it. Definatly shouldn't be able to be grown anywhere.. Maybe I'm being crazy but for the stand alone this would be cool. I would protect my little garden patch.

We all know tents need some work... I think we can add a feature that will make them more useful and help players some. I think tents and a "base" or campground is vital.. being in a tent or campground area should help your humanity.. where as your humanity should suffer from being alone without a place of shelter or a "safe" area. (even thought tents aren't completely safe, I am sure your characters do feel safer in a familuar place with storage) I wouldn't mind an option to "rest" or "sleep" be added to a tent. the Sleep or Rest feature will help you to slowly gain some blood and health back over time.. perhaps you go to your tent and sleep your character lays in the tent volunerable and it gives you 50-75 blood each hour. If you left your guy volunerable sleeping in his tent.. there a good chance your going to get whacked.. (think of skyrim sleeping with their timer system) Maybe the sleep would only take actually 5 minutes of real time or so but you could go back every hour to rest to continue regenerating some health. This way people don't go afk to heal up or even need to.. They just run to their tent every hour to rest up a bit..esentially giving you 10 blood a minute for up to five minutes total, no more than 50 blood total per real life hour so after their first 5 minutes of sleeping.. they can't get anymore blood from resting until that hour long counter is up. This will make stalking tent areas fun too. Becuase there is a chance someone in actively using the tent to rest and will need to come back to it semi often. Currently tents are just for storage. I place extra stuff in mine and often don't go back to it for a long long time... the more I use it now the more likely it is to be found.. someone sees me going back and fourth... this heal feature will encourage people like me to actually use the tent more.

I would think you could utilize the stuff already in game.. but it could also be another feature to the game.. farmind... not just harvesting.. I would think that you could get water bottles to help your plant grow or just plant in an area that is more likely to get rain.. or near a lake or something like that. I think some areas should be more fapt to produce something and other places that are rocky or something not grow anything at all. I think growing something should not be a click this click that and you get this situation...While I think some of that is good.. I don't want the outcome to always be the same. I think harvesting from the wild should be much eaiser but it would cuase you to have to go out and about looking for things to harvest... pros and cons to each method... stay in and grow your own with mixed luck and low production or move all over making your more volunerable but more apt to find a good big crop that you can exploit and take back to your tent or campsite area.

It would be great to have a way to identify a group or an individual that belongs to a group. I'm talking like a emblem or a color or a clothing item used to show you are friendly with other players... This would encourage some grouping. I'd also like to group with others and eventually mark off an area as "ours" and defend and protect our things. Obvisouly it would make some people want to come and take the area from us and control its resources. Other groups could infiltrate us and such try to trick us or gank our things. I think these two things could add alot of depth to this mod. Even without a uniform areas can still be taken over.. but it would be hard for ther others to identify it as an area that is under a groups control.. and thus I don't think many people would actively try and attack it... I want to encourage this type of play I want someone to hold a property and another group to try and take it back and orgganize until they are able too.

You can already steal peoples loot.. wtf are you tlaking about.. have you even ever logged into the game are you a darkfall forum troll thats lost?

Sounds good to me... I think it would be a cool feature and tool for the players... I'm not sure how it could be done but I don't think it would be too hard.. there are already blue colored UN helmets and such in the game seems like changing somethings color should be easy.

I think thats fair.. I like it.

It's already been created several times.

Great shot.... How long did you have to sit and wait before that opertunity presented itself?

I would agree that picking a spawn place exactly wouldn't be the best way to hande this problem. However I think that their should be some way to meet up with your friends if you wish. Right now spawning without a map or weapon makes moving across server almost impossible if you start in certain areas. I don't mind it but sometimes a friend and I spend hours trying to meet up... no big deal I guess.... but this is what I was thinking... It would be cool if you could pick a region of the map to spawn randomly in.... like just devide the map into 4 parts.. you could select nw zone or se zone and such. You guys are saying its unreleasitc and not right to have buddies near you.... I think thats crap.. in an emergency situation your going to get up with your friends and family and work as a team your not going to call your long lost brother in law on the other side of the freaking world to run and try to meet up. Anyways just some thoughts out loud.. the respawning till you get a specific area is BS but I do understand peoples playing times can be limited and that they enjoy playing with friends instead of running around alone. People will get around the cooldown by going to another server and how would you prevent people from playing that log into the server to find 3 zombies running straight at their face with no way to pretect themselves....or outrun/smart them..

I think it would be great to regen a little health over time.. even if its miniscule.. it would seem like if you could be in game hidden or in a safe spot for long enuogh soon you might could regain some health... even if it wasn't to 12000 maybe if the highest life you could regain without doing anything would be 10000 until you got hungry and it would then deminish from that. I would think a "REST" actioan would be great to help you heal up a litte as well if simply waiting for health to regend wasn't good enough... say you had to be inside a srtucture or near a tent not hungary or thristy and you would regen.. I dunno I think introduction of bears and/or having animals sometimes go rabbid and attack you would making hunting alot funner. We need a slight risk to a bigger payout for hunting a bigger animal. I like that cows dont offer resistance to being shot but say a cayote a bear or a Mountain lion could.. that would be cool... I'd like a fishing pole... I could catch lunch skin a fish with a knife and cook it... seems resonable to me.

I would think a sugary soft drink would help insulin levels and blood production.. although not much but if you've already popped pills and used bandages to stop bleeding in real life your body would recreate blood and you would start to feel better. I really think some sort of rest feature could/should be implemented. Maybe if your rested your more alert and don't make as much noise and are a bit more stealthy.. I dunno just thinking out loud.

I'm still having trouble logging in.. I am being stuck at the loading screen with a message that it is creating character.

why are you allowed to log out in the middle of a fight or once agression has started? Seems blatantly exploitable. Also just server jumping to get items is crappy. I was thinking today after seeing a twitch vid of a guy owning a location and not letting anyone in.. that in any minute some putz is going to just log onto a unpopulated server.... while watching his stream.. log out just behind him and them log into his server and cap his ass from behind... What if any mechnics are in game o prevent this from happening... It spears if I log out in a building at night when I log on the next day I'm still there... whos to say I don't log in 10 guys to that persons server in the same building and destroy him then jump back to our home server.. why play if you can get around snipers or danger by server hops?

should definatly be a way to start with a group if you wanted too

nah people would just log out and onto another server... thats got to be fixed.. logging out while in a fight or agro needs to be fixed...

that seems cheesy to even suggest doing.. sure if you got alot of gear and you want to take advantage of a broken mechanic than by all means... but you shouldn't want that to be your or others way to defend themselves... I would arguee the devs need to make it a mandatory 2 minute cooldown after last interaction before you can instantly loadout.. if you pull the plug your character should remain there to die until it times out unless you have been non agro for that time period.

I have the same issues even on the Virginia servers most nights.. I spend hours trying to log on and log back after a death.. with only with only about 15-20% of the time actually playing. Very frustraighting.

so as it is now.. if yuor almost dead you can just respawn instantly to avoid death and then try to find your corpse to get your loot back? Geh... I might just do this to keep from having to wait for log in ques and not worry about trying to find my loot... heck if I was going to die anyways... LOL Nah.. this can't be correct.

traps would be awesome.. imagine setting out snares for zombiesyou could set a ring of traps then light a campfire int he middle.. sit back in the dark and watch them get trapped... wlk over to them and pop a bullet in their head and loot them... zombie farming.. SWEET

excuse my ignorance but what does that button actually do? Does itm ake your restart the game or merely teleport you back to your starting area without any of yuor goods again?

I think you should be able to use your hunting knife, a machette and or a club or a pipe to strike the zombies in the head.. you should take a great deal of damage going on on one with them but you should be able too defend yourself when you run out of ammo. Belive me if my gun ran out of ammo and I had a zombie after me I would be swinging all kinds of things towards his face. I also think you should have a clear evasion tactic that works. or a stun feature that would give you just a slight bit of distance so you could get out of his line of sightand crouch to hopefully fool the zombie. No movement no sound= zombie clueless to where you are no matter how close he is to you. Zombies can't "smell you."

Could we get rid of the humvee start up page and having to log completely out of the game and re-que after death. The loading times of the game and the wait times to get into the servers are rediculous right now. You couple that with the rather quick character life you could spend most of your time just trying to play instead of actually playing. How about an auto rejoin when you die it just goes ahead and plops you back at a random starting point even if there is a slight load time to do that instead of having to manually re-join it would be great.
