No because this game is glitchy and it's just as unfair to me having survived for quite a while now when the ladder I'm climbing says "FUCK YOU" and knocks me off for no reason, causing me to fall and go unconscious while every zombie in the area is alerted to me and starts eating me. If that gets fixed (it won't because it's been like that since ArmA 2 came out) then I would approve.

Yeah as a matter of fact I was. I don't know if that's the real cause though because I've fallen while holding the Einfield too' date=' and when I logged back in and healed I went back up with my M9 and made it. I guess I just won't go up ladders with my pistol anymore and hope for the best, thanks. My body would stay in the server and continue to bleed out/be eaten by zombies, but the whole situation was the fault of a glitch. I think the system is fine now; if you're going to kill someone, make sure you hit them in the head or hit them a lot very quickly so they pass out and have low blood. Then even if they log back in they are unconscious and will bleed out before they wake up because they were hit so many times.

I was at the airfield crawling through zombies, climbed a ladder, got to the top, and just fell for no reason. And before you say "HOLD W IDIOT", I know how to play, and I did. The engine's ladders are just awful and inconsistent. Poopy and I always say, "If we die in this game it won't be because we were legitimately defeated, it will be because we got glitched". That shit was NOT my fault and I might lose all of my gear and progress because of it. WTF EDIT: Altf4 saved me.

+1 People are dying because of this! The horror!

I haven't been able to test it but I'd think it might be more useful to use a regular flashlight to blind someone with NVGs and by you time to drop a bunch of flares...

Not gonna write a really long story but this was pretty epic: Poopypants and I were in Berezino, and he had logged out in the hospital so he was blocked in by glass. We unloaded on it but it didn't appear to break. We attracted maybe 10-15 zombies; I ran them around while Poopy wasted all of his ammo on the glass. Finally it broke (it was glitched or something) and we headed to a grocery store where Poopy swapped his useless AK for an Einfeld. He fired off one shot and suddenly all hell broke loose. I swear the entire town came down on us. Poopy fired all 40 rounds for the Einfeld and said he missed only 3-4 shots, and I probably killed 20-30 with my M4 before needing to get more ammo out of my backpack but by then it was too late. The flow just wouldn't stop and the entire store was filling with zombies. We waited for a gap to appear near the door and made a brake for it, but we got hit a few times and were bleeding. Keep in mind this was all in the pitch black night. We ran to a building where we knew the zombies couldn't get us, but 20 feet from the entrance Poopy collapsed from blood loss. I emptied a mag into the crowd but it was too late. He was dead after we survived for about 5 days. I was badly injured but had a couple of blood packs. Thankfully Sam must have heard the shit storm and ran to the same building to avoid the zombies. He gave me a transfusion so I gave him my extra blood pack. Huge shout out to Sam lol This was definitely the most epic moment I've had so far. We were literally yelling on ventrilo and I'm really upset I didn't record it lol. I'm now recording all of my playtime. Thanks for an epic mod!

I think you should just be able to choose whatever skin you want. This system to identify trouble makers doesn't add much to the game for me. If I have to defend myself from hostile noobs who don't have bandit status, then I get it and someone will just shoot me because I have a skin. I don't like it at all and think it should be taken out.

Well your guy is running around all day. I think the water requirement is probably realistic, especially since a lot of times I have my guy drinking soda. That is not proper hydration lol

I honestly hated it at first and was getting pretty frustrated, especially when Poopypants shot me in the face with buckshot by accident. However, it's that survival aspect and knowing you can't trust anyone but your close friends (apparently not lol) that really makes this stand out from other games/mods. I spend little time actually trying to cause confrontations, and while that may not sound fun to many, it's the best part of the game for me. It's like I can feel the tension building up for the next encounter, and I hope I'll be lucky enough to get out of the impending shit storm. That tension combined with the desire to explore the world and find better gear makes for a pretty addicting combination. Without PVP it just wouldn't be the same. As I've mentioned before, I think there should be at least one server that tries no PVP for people who don't want it. If it's as full as the other servers at all times there would be no reason not to do so. Max, I don't think adding in PTSD would be a good idea. If I can mentally handle the stress of clicking a mouse button and 'killing' a player, my guy should be able to as well. I shouldn't have to deal with that annoying shaky screen after I shoot a guy trying to kill me because my guy can't handle it. Why not just off myself in game if my guy is going to be such a pansy? I defended myself successfully, so my reward is a shaky screen that will likely prevent me from defending myself in the next hostile encounter unless I subject myself to a possibly life threatening situation? I just think it's a bad idea that would cause annoyance more than anything and lead to less freedom in the world which is the main draw for me right now.

You bought Arma 2 just for a mod that is still in alpha, then complain that there are problems?

Same here. Everyone is having this problem on the servers I tried to join (US1,US2).

No I've played ArmA 2 since it came out, but that doesn't really mean anything because it's just a game. Who cares? You are not special because you have played ArmA 2 longer than anyone else. Calm down. Sorry I didn't bother reading the story that sets up the apocalyptic situation. I'm not going to waste my time listing every gun that shouldn't be in the game if it's supposed to be realistic, but if it makes you feel smart go ahead =P It might balance out if there were night vision optics instead of actual NVG's though. I agree with that suggestion.

I agree with Viri. I don't think it should be included. IRL you aren't going to know someone is a bandit if they're wearing camo or not. Plus defending yourselves from other survivors who aren't bandits makes you lose humanity which doesn't make sense.

Hey guys, my friend just had a suggestion that might be more convenient for those of us fiending for some play time: use one server for update testing and roll the others back to 1.3.3. I don't know if that's possible but I thought it was a good idea.

It doesn't fit with civilian zombie survival? By that logic everything except the occasional AK should be taken out. Why would an ex-soviet nation have m249's and 240B's? I think they should remain in the game, and I hope if I run into someone with them my flares and smoke will save me.

I'd like to see fog implemented as it would make it easier to avoid other survivors during the day and increase the fear factor. I prefer to travel/play at night. It's a bit unnerving but I feel less vulnerable to other survivors... at least the ones without nvgs. Night time fog? God have mercy on our souls.

I agree with you although I wouldn't want to play on that server because I enjoy the PVP aspect that really adds atmosphere to the whole experience in my opinion. Some may just want to kill zombies and work with others without fearing the guy next to them might kill them just for a can of food, and I think that should be an option on at least one server. It may be just as easy as turning off friendly fire if it's a server option, but I'm not familiar with the engine. I'm with you on the fallout3-esque perk system lithiumfox. That would be a very cool feature if it could be implemented.

I lost my mac11 with 3 mags :( Such is life...

I think it's fine the way it is. If you don't want to risk getting killed immediately in the densely populated coastal cities, run straight inland or only search the city buildings near the north of town, which in my experience have been less populated.

Sorry for being off topic but I don't think it deserves another thread: I totally agree. The Winchester owns and I think the ammo for it is too common. Like you said, the 870 holds less rounds and the ammo isn't as common. They both pack the same punch as far as I know. I don't think the light on the 870 justifies it being a rarer drop seeing as how I usually don't need a flashlight anyway.

60 seconds? That's quite a long time. I'd be okay with 10 or 15, but I'd prefer none at all. I know some people like my friend really want to play this game but have commitments in their personal lives like children and jobs, and this game requires a lot of time. Should he be punished if he has to go feed his baby? He's mostly stayed away for now since the time commitment just doesn't mesh with his responsibilities, and I'm sure there are others out there in the same predicament. I don't think this needs to be added for general players; you simply make the decision to approach and be friendly, shoot on sight, or avoid other survivors altogether. I have never been held up in game like you describe because it's too risky. I don't know how you survive more than an hour trying to hold people up like that.
