I kind of like this idea....if we do this can I get a saddle I can put on a boar? :D

The very nature of the Alpha stage in game development is to add in mechanics. You don't start polishing and fixing bugs till Beta stage.

Once you get some decent gear there isn't anything else to do but shoot people. I don't go to coast cause that's pointless and not very fun, I usually setup in a big city or some portion of the map I am living in and just kill people heading into it. If I am really just looking for people to pew pew I'll go to cherno or electro but hang in the city itself, rather than shoot people coming off the beach.

Interesting idea. My first thought is nooo I don't like random but it does have some merit. Personally I want to see some inland spawn points too to spice things up a bit.

Obviously I am not referring to people who are offering up notifications of problems constructive bug reporting. Do you realize that assumptions make you look kind of silly when wrong?

Occasionally I have not shot people and not been shot usually if I have just spawned and are running through the town. The feeling of desperation makes me far more likely to help other people and look for help. Rest of the time I shoot first ask questions never because I will never be assured they won't shoot me first.

People who say "I know its an alpha" then post crap like this are not very bright.

You guys realize that alpha games/mods have these kinds of problems all the time right? You should EXPECT this kind of thing when something new is added, this is the whole purpose of alpha and beta.

Unless there is some reason I should trust that person to not shoot me later, I shoot everyone I see assuming I can safely loot the corpse.

It isn't really even trolling, he was just dumb enough to log out in a building that is often looted.

Pretty sure if you put it in your personal inventory it will go with you forever....unless the patch eats it.

Oh man...Im sitting at work browsing these forums looking for more updates instead of working...awesome. Pretty much anything I would say has already been said a dozen times. IT IS AN ALPHA! WE ARE TESTERS! TEST THE GAME! BE HAPPY!

Huh....personally I would rather see Rocket go with his idea of armbands or basically player made factions and the ability to take over particular areas of territory.

It also isn't very realistic to drink pond water straight from the lake...mmm explosive diarrhea.

Don't get rid of the ability to shoot your gun but if you hit another player the npc guards gun you down. Put NPC sniper guards on the wall that will fire on anyone shooting into the town. Basically means a strong enough player group could overrun the place with enough skill and gear but not without losses, and regular zombie attacks that a player presence would be needed to defend or the place can be overrun. After a while the place would get taken back by more military or whatever faction it is running the place etc etc. Interesting idea but I would rather see if we can make one of these ourselves with the trading post ideas before we put in a npc camp or use game mechanics to keep people from firing guns.

I am doing this this weekend.....

You can't say "ohhh this mod is to hard im not having fun" and then say "I like using my brain you have survive on your own terms". Use that brain and figure out how to survive. It isn't hard at all. Also if you don't like the game then don't play it. This is a game that is intended to be brutally difficult and will probably only get harder. People will adapt like most of us have and continue surviving (and/or dying) and others will cry about how hard it is and leave which really you should if you want an easier game, go play another easier game.

Stop every 60 seconds? I've never had this problem. It only seems to be an issue when it goes completed chain and the server crashes but that usually happens when I am standing still anyway. The chain, yellow or red, doesn't seem to have much bearing on actual lag or latency as I have had desync issues with and without it in addition to trouble looting.

Think about it...you show up on a coast alone and it's all fear and stress. You meet up with half a dozen friends who have your back and pool resources and suddenly it isn't quite so stressful or dangerous as you have a support group. This seems fairly realistic to me (reincarnation not withstanding lol).

Dying doesn't bother me much. I play super careful but if I get shot I shrug and start new. The game is about survival, it's about the journey not the end. The end in this game is just starting the journey over again.

I have zero problem sneaking through a big city like cherno or berezino. Use prone where needed but flares will make your life so much easier lol.

Even just reading about this is pretty exciting. When I get off work I'll hit up the steam group and see if I can get work as a guard/merc or scavenger.

To be honest even with one sight bar I am not having any trouble getting past zambies. Flares/emtpy tins and cans help out when you have a cluster, rest of them can easily sneak by.

Use flares. Makes it pretty easy to move around at speed. PLus you can lose zombies anyways. I am able to go from one of Berezino and back again with little trouble fairly quickly. You are just doing it wrong.

Lol everyone is just shooting off the generic response to the word class rather than reading the post. Personally I think it would be kind of interesting to see randomized load-outs and spawn locations. Doesn't quite fit into the theme of showing up on the coast but I think would still spice things up even further.
