Some issues I have encountered is that any time you join another server or leave and reconnect your character is wiped and spawns in a new area, loot is invisible and some doors are bugged. Sometimes in servers zombies are invisible and I have noticed that if a server has loot it is often bugged into walls or in the air.

I actually have been destroying a few squads of heavily armed guys with just a bow, the fact it makes no noise and doesn't have any real indicators as to where the arrows are being fired from makes it the best combo with a ghille suit as I crouch in a bush nearby. That being said you can dominate nearly everyone with a humble sawn off due to most players in-ability to actually aim with a gun. Seriously most players I run into just spray and pray with drum mags thinking that I'll just stand still and take it.

Apparently tents will not be reset. Please note that I used the word "Apparently". If they do then go out and find more!

I am currently in a 0.52 stable server but its not staying up non stop, so for now I'm just enjoying taking 8 steps then being restarted back to where I was. I am not angry or complaining before anyone thinks I am, I am just incredibly hyped about this update.

Why would the lockpick break if it was not the one used to lock the door? Lock picks are just tools to open locks in doors. It wouldn't make sense for one to break because it isn't the same lockpick.

I see at most 3 guys in all of NW. I stay there to avoid the squeaker squads.

I've been around a year and a half. (I spent a few months without an account) I often lurk and read posts just, I can tell you that guys like Alpha soon become ignored and tossed aside because whilst the original novelty exists of "Lets laugh at the guy who is acting like a child online" is fun at first it soon becomes tiresome and blends into the background.

I rarely venture into towns unless its to give a hand to people or clear out bandits. Therefore I enjoy having the ability to be fully self-sufficient. I also enjoy carrying a stupidly high amount of ammo.

Why are so many of them awful shots and even worse at understanding basic rules of survival, such as don't shoot a gun in a city. Nearly every time I am at the coast as either a freshspawn or to help out freshspawns I have been fired at by some heavily armed guy, for example, a few hours ago in Elektro I was grabbing some basic supplies before I headed north to get fully geared when a guy came sprinting towards me with a sporter and a mag in it. I waved at him and said hello, he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me for a good 5 seconds before raising his gun and unloading on me, I ran into a nearby house and took out my P1, I then ran out the back door and got his attention. He kept shooting and missing every shot, eventually my plan worked and he soon had about 4/5 zombies on him, when he took out his axe to try and kill them I shot him in the head then killed the zombies. I went over and got fully geared up off his body. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=315900708

Target practice implies you actually take aim and try to shoot from a distance. Not stand 5M from someone then try and shoot them, if he ever tries that on anyone that isn't friendly or a newspawn he wouldn't even get within 100M of them.

Most of the weapons would be blunt to avoid injury. Still a cool idea.

I am terribly sorry for causing you inconvenience whilst you were just trying to simply survive in this harsh world, but I could not just simply let you go on your merry way for you see, I too was looting that town and you happened to pickup a piece of clothing that I hold near and dear to me. A military beret. I could have walked up and asked you if you wanted to trade for it but I simply couldn't risk that as I may not get my precious hat if you shot me or didn't want to trade. That is why I shot you from 200M away from the forest. You may hate me for doing so, but in the end. I got my hat.

I think that the idea of a fake weapon could be a good one in theory because you could threaten people, however in practise anyone without a gun being aimed at by someone with a gun tends to banzai charge them and normally kill the other player.

I actually made it to try to see who I shot and contact them. Like I said. I don't KOS if I can avoid it. This was a one time KOS I did that I felt like a dick for. I just wanted to find out who it was so I could try and at least return gear. People however assumed that I love KOSing and that I am satan re-incarnated for doing it in a game that is only really alive and thriving because of PVP. They blatantly ignore the fact I help many players out and try to avoid shooting first if I can.

If you bothered to read my other posts you would see I have been playing this game for years and I have helped numerous people throughout my time. However one KOS does not instantly mean someone is stupid. The game is open ended so that people can play their own way. Not have someone yelling at them for playing it how they play it. You are the stupid one if anything. You refused to read in to other posts explaining my actions and backing myself up by pointing out I am not a twitchy armchair general, instead you opted for blindly insulting me and saying that X is the stupid way to play.

Yeah it wasn't. I actually don't enjoy KOSing. I wanted to talk to whoever it was. If I pull a dick move I tend to try and at least apologise.

Oh look. Another person who can't read my other posts.

There is no real point to these posts. I never said there was. I just wanted to share what happened really and possibly meet whoever I shot so I could at least talk to them. For anyone who thinks I am a twitchy armchair general then you are sadly misinformed. I often play the game like I would try and survive if it happened for real. Avoid all forms of interaction and sneak around everywhere with enough supplies to last me a week and fully patch myself up. If I see someone truly hurt and I have decided it isn't a trap Ill come over and patch them up and give them some food and drink then leave before they get too close. I rarely KOS, like I said this is one of the few times I actually KOS and its mainly for a personal reason. Many of my kills tend to be heavily armed groups gunning down anyone who is along the coast. I have been playing this game for years. There is no point in getting your pants in a twist over KOS. It is what keeps the game so intense, knowing that at every second you could be in someone's sights or being stalked. If everyone was nice and friendly and came over for a talk any time you meet them the game would be awful. In a real life scenario no one would trust anyone, you would be out for yourself or your group. Sure some people would try and be nice but to me that's like walking up to an angry pitbull and petting it cause it might not want to tear your arm off.

I do believe I have balls. God forbid someone kills someone in a game that is only alive because of the pvp aspect!

Oh god. Please work on your grammar. If you don't want to read posts like this then don't? Surely your brain can handle that.

Oh dear. Someone seems annoyed. I have been playing the mod for years and the standalone when it came out (With a break of 6 months) I can tell you that as a lone wolf being a nice friendly guy has no benefits whatsoever. It gets you killed. I try to help people when I can but if I see an armed player I will normally avoid contact with them. This time was an exception as he had a hat I want and rarely find. I don't kill for no reason. Forgive me for playing the game the way I want to play it but I enjoy the game more when I have some gear and I can help new spawns. Instead of trying to be nice to another armed player and being shot on sight.

I have returned! So how has the game been progressing? Any major drama or event happen? Did anyone miss me? (Probably not)

Well if theres anyone I can trust its the guy telling me to drink disinfectant!

I have been playing, but I like to actually talk to the community?

Love this idea! I play lone wolf so hiding from a squad when I am not at a long range would be great!
