Exactly, the zombies probably ate your corpse.

I personally feel like semi automatic assault rifles are pretty powerful. I think what OP is getting at is something that a lot of folks have mentioned in the past. Less high grade military gear and more civilian/commoner weaponry. I think once the game is opened up for modding and private hives, there will be some really interesting servers that control the loot in very interesting ways. I'm not sure how BIS plans on changing the loot tables as we move forward. I remember one of the developers stating in the past that magazines and ammo were going to be "super" rare. Obviously that is not the case currently, but as they add more features and items I can see those materials becoming increasingly hard to come by. I, like many, think this would be a good thing. Anything that makes the game more of a survival simulator and less of a military simulator is great in my opinion.

GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOS is just boring at this point. Last night, I was playing with a couple guys. They provided overwatch from the tree lines and hills while I stood out in the open drawing people in. Those that were friendly to me, we gave supplies, those that attempted violence, they shot from a distance. It was great! I have no idea why you would kill someone on sight at this point. There are so many other interesting outcomes. Eventually our operation was compromised by server hoppers that used ghosting to kill one of us. I could see the player and we had them surrounded on the top floor of a building. I said, "You're dead if you don't come out we have you surrounded." Their reply, "I can just log out, that's fair it's still in the game." How friggen' lame is that. I cannot wait until "ruined" items are actually ruined and the server hopping and combat logging is addressed. I think it will provide even greater experiences besides that of simply killing other players.

They offer the same amount of protection currently. I wish I could find where I read it but I cannot at the moment.

I played on an interesting server last night. I know it had "son" in the name so if you search that you should find it. It was listed as non KOS but upon further inspection, it encouraged banditing. I found that most people were obeying the rules. Basically, they want people to rob, take hostages, and kill in more innovative ways than just shooting them in the back from 600 yards out. The group I was with stalked two people for an hour or so, never robbed them, just watched them from the hillsides. We ran into a new spawn and stopped him. He was friendly and compliant so we gave him a canteen and let him go on his way. Had he been a dick we planned on force feeding him rotten fruit and making him do our bidding until he died. Jesus Christ this game is getting weird. I can't imaging how awesome it's going to be when they implement more features. It was also nice for those east coast folk, the day night cycle is set so that the sun rises around 8pm EST. I like to get a little night time play in but it was fun to see my first sunrise.

I think you were server hopping and it's lame as hell. I also don't think they should be able to kick or ban you for it. It's an exploit, simple as that. Some do it some don't. I love when I'm looting a military building and I see someone like you suddenly appear. I bet they get so pissed when they realize they've been killed. From what I understand, you often don't even hear the shots and most people think it's some kind of glitch. No, you just got shot in the face for exploiting. I don't hold it against you as it is something you can do, but it's nice being able to kill those that I catch doing it. Also, before you start crying, "I can log out wherever I want, not server hopping blah blah waaaaaaa!!!" I agree with you but if you are stupid enough to log out in a military building, you deserve to die when you log back in, especially if it's on a different server than the one you logged out of or at a completely different time of day. There are certain places on the map that are shoot on site, military encampments are definitely one of them.

Yeah, I'm down with a local only solution. I had a character alive from the point of the initial large security related wipe on like day 3. He only died this past Saturday to a desync glitch. It would be nice to be able to see him in my records. Also, I know Rocket is a huge fan of Space Station 13 and in that game you have the option to name your character or go with a random name each time. I would like to see something like that as well. Project Zomboid also let's you rename characters or go with a randomly generated name each time you start. If you incorporate the character name with your simple local list, I think it would provide a good snapshot of all your playthroughs.

I don't hop to get geared up, that takes all of the fun out of the game. I love traversing the map. I have no idea why someone would jump from server to server just to get gear. That sounds boring as hell to me. I will hop during server restarts or other technical weirdness.

Also, there are FAR worse things you can do to a player than killing them. You can befriend them take them to the wilderness. Break their legs, bandage their wounds, take all their stuff and leave them crawling with no way to heal the break. This forces them to starve to death. What's worse you could force feed them water and food to elongate the process. They can crawl looking for morphine or stay logged in long enough to starve. Hell you could continue to check back in on them from time to time, feeding and watering them. Now that's a meta game. They would basically be forced to reinstall the game. Note: I play as a nice guy. In the mod shooting on site made sense, but now it's just plain boring, there are so many more innovative ways to grief people.

KOS threads are like a sore tooth for me. I just can't help investigating. Immediately met with a wall of text and I realize, there is nothing different about this than any other KOS thread. The suggestions that you are making have been made hundreds of times.

27 others has dropped the mic. Mark that down as one for humanity.

Give me beans and move along.

Please don't take my posturing as a sign of disrespect. Much like two grizzlies meeting in the wild we dance the dance of machismo, and the steps of that dance are ultimately the graceful steps of respect. Man love, let the light shine down upon us. I love you too my friend. I haven't forgotten that, ultimately, it was your tale of a masterful double head shot that brought me here in order to spar with a worthy fucking adversary.

Anger leads to hate bro.

This thread has gone completely off the rails. The game has been out for less than a month people. Obviously those bitching don't play many early access games. A few games, that I paid for by the way, are in early access and they only put out limited info each month and often the updates are smaller than the ones we've already received. They already put out two really nice patches that fixed some of the major issues that popped up after the alpha was released. We are lucky. They aren't obligated to do that. They provided a disclaimer. It saddens me that there is so much of this BS on this thread. I know it's a very small portion of the player base. Just go away and come back in a few months. Stop wasting time and energy coming here to complain. Or try to remember the main reason you're upset. You're upset because you REALLY like this game and can't wait for it to evolve. Stop being impatient children. Just stick in an AK and these sheep will be silenced for a month.

------- What he stated is exactly what's going on, it's all over the place under the announcements section. Second half of January is when they are setting all of the upcoming goals. Now get back under your bridge and scrub your undies like a big boy god damn it!

Cigarettes have a really interesting role in Project Zomboid. I think they calm you down when you're stressed and act as an appetite suppressant.

Ooh ooh, can I play again? Put me in coach. USA! USA! USA!

Nationalism is infact a sad reality of the world we live in. I'm sorry to say that the man you claim as lover threw that hurtful initial blow. This explains how most of us feel about your people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRom1Rz8OA

I once stared at a man so intensely that his testicles fell off and ran to me for safety.

I'll honor this as an admission of my superiority. I accept your willing submission to my rule. Now what to do with you my humble servant? Go out and gather for me pliers and other useless pieces of ephemera. When the count has reached a number I deem fitting. I will let you wash my clothes with your mouth as if bobbing for apples.

Just having a little fun mate. I like this back and forth. I'm currently very bored at work and this is helping pass the time greatly. I didn't mean to upset your delicate sensibilities. I just assumed that such a master-of-badassery-witchcraft-and-art-of-killing-war would have had thicker skin. My mistake, I'll put on the kid gloves from here out. I've never been able to explain my lack of "though", though I've tried many times. That's just one of those conundrums we'll have to leave for the philosophers. How do you feel about George Washington?

A. Shakes hornets nest. B or 3 or whatever number we're on: Runs like his mother when hornets chase him back under bridge.

Your mom uses your mom jokes. If you don't know Bikest Man you are a sad person, I can't help you with that. Just remember, we've already established that I am better than you so don't back track now.
