Hmm i can't say that the infected cough is that bad? Maybe i just have'nt been infected long enough, but i only coughed a little when i ran from black lake to berezino. And i used to smoke, so i know how it works, but i digress, apologies. :)

This.

And heavy coughing like you do when you are infected. And who said everyone using a ghillie in a post-apocalyptic world is a trained professional sniper? Surviors are likely to be special forces as they know how to survive better than the ordinary man, but an ordinary man can also survive based on dedication and playing it smart and safe. I wear i ghillie ingame when im in the forest, i do not carry a sniper, i carry a mk48 mod 0 (atm) which i never use unless it's in self-defence.

You have my support, i love the xbow, i just wish it damaged players a little more, maybe even had possibilities for red-dot, or ACOG. Mostly because i have used to for hunting animals, it does'nt give away my position and i don't have to run after the animal with a hatchet.

Im not against instances that can't be raided, mostly because the internet is full of a-holes that does'nt deserve the chance to troll people, i've had enough of those raiding my tents then destroying it for fun and im not even a bandit, i don't mind people stealing stuff, but the destroying of your personal storage really bothers me when i can't be there to shoot them in the face. Since there are people who does'nt play this game 24/7 they can't watch the camp at all times neither can you in the real world logout, you can't expect people to be online 24/7.. In a real apocolypse you would probably watch your camp or be in your camp most of the time until you needed supplies, but you know, some people got lives outside this game, like kids, school, homework, work, wife and other plausible hobbies that takes up time. Why is it so that everytime a gamer that does'nt do anything else completely lack the understanding of having interests outside a game and then flail everyone who wants a little more casual gameplay, it's irrational and elitistic behavior. Im half-in-agreement with the fact of having 100% secure locations is a little stupid, as long as you are online, but if you are logged out of that world, i do not think it's unfair at all to have your things locked and secured until you are back online. I like this idea.

The only issue i may have is melee weapons, melee weapons are kinda difficult to use without a crosshair. Tried myself and since im a man of the hatchet i prefer regular servers so it's easier to hit the zombies. For guns i always doubble click the aim button to go into ironsight/scope anyways. Although if the melee system is significantly improved in the Standalone i may personally may lean more towards having it off, but i prefer having the option. But why remove it? Give the players a chance to choose what they want themselves i say.

I like the idea, but then it would need to be say 50 regular people only that could do this on the server and no one new could build for it to work, as Joe pointed out it is a good idea, but it would seem difficult to go through with it. However, on another note, if the devteam built cabins in the woods all around, with possibilities for storage would'nt that also be something of interest? Yes you can be robbed blind, but survivors already do that with every tent they find, and even sometimes troll you by destroying your tent for fun.
