Remember how doors were opened in Amnesia? That would be nifty, especially if we could do it with a weapon in the other hand. Noisy and locked doors would be awesome. I doubt an apocalyptic post-soviet state would be the kind of place where most people leave their doors unlocked.

If "getting a straight answer" means announcing mechanics that directly punish people who shoot other players, then no. People are KOSing right now because there isn't really anything else to do yet. What you need to realize is that when the environment becomes filled with things that make it an actual challenge to survive (like zombies, harsh weather, disease, etc), players will be drawn out of the "get geared up, kill other people gearing up" grind naturally; we will have to spend our time overcoming these new challenges instead.

What's the point of complaining that an alpha is incomplete?

Good.

In the background is this real-life creepy signal.

I'm 97.482% sure Rocket said he was planning on implementing character temperature and its effects. Our clothes can already get labelled as 'damp', and there are matchboxes and piles of firewood that we can pick up. None of these things do anything at the moment, but in the future they will. I'd f*cking love it if there were seasons, or at least weather patterns that can last for days. Imagine how a weeklong blizzard would change the game.

If all you want to do is run straight to the military areas, then you're playing the wrong game. ArmA 2/3 wasteland would be a better fit for you.

No, they don't. You just need to get the fuck out.

It's not currently possible to use it while it's on a weapon. You can, however, take it off the gun and stab someone with it that way. Rocket did this on stream and basically turned into this guy.

Another KOS thread? Couldn't you have used one of the many others?

There are barely any zombie spawns right now. They don't respawn either. They'll change this when server performance is better optimized. The lack of a threat means there's nothing to do currently but loot and shoot. Also alpher.

Occlusion culling isn't active yet. Rocket said this in one of his streams just before alpher went live.

Dammit, don't tell anyone! I was enjoying having the shipwreck to myself. ...up until I slid off a railing and died.

This game is NOT optimized for client performance. At all. Server performance and security is more important right now.
