Awesome, I will :)

I defended the game, and I am new here too :P

I don't care what they do, as long as nighttime doesn't follow normal night/day, because that means I'll not get to play in daylight at all due to work. And if they wanna keep it so darned dark, we are going to need to be able to play a bit in daytime, so that we then can find whatever we need to survive night!

Played again yesterday, tried putting the game on as soon as I came home from work and was lucky enough to experience 5 minutes of daylight. Before it went dark again. God, it's really starting to bother me, because the game looks so good, yet I never get to see much of it before nighttime comes. And it lasts all evening/night, so patience doesn't help either. It's just a constant running around in full darkness, never seeing much of anything. On the positive side, met two other players yesterday. One was from a bit of a distance (yet close enough so that I saw him clearly). Either he was a friendly, or he didn't bother chasing me as I ran sideways to avoid him. He stopped and stared at me as I left though, so he did see me. But, I didn't wanna take a chance trying to talk to him. The second encounter I thought myself dead for sure. Entered a house, relatively unarmed (had a damaged baseball bat), it seemed empty, it had entrances in both ends of the hall. Both doors were open. I enter the door after having checked out a room, and suddenly see a guy standing completely still two meters away, armed with a rifle and pointing it at me. I thought; "Damn, now that I finally found some food to avoid starvation." (had been starving for a while due to the first 3 cities I found being completely empty) I didn't even back off, just froze there with my heart in my throat while being aimed at. To my great surprise, he just stood there pointing his weapon at me. I back off a few meters. He still doesn't shoot, so I turn on my tail and run. So, to whomever it was who could have killed me, but didn't, thanks a bunch! :thumbsup: Could have been he was out of ammo, and simply wanted to scare me off from attacking him (I wouldn't have regardless, but he couldn't know that), but I choose to believe he was a nice guy who was simply cautious.

It isn't fun to play a game when it's constantly either black/white (the gamma solution) or so pitch black that you can't see anything at all. It's wasted graphics (I still haven't been able to see the game in daylight) and very irritating. And using a flash light is a death sentence, people can see you a mile away and hunt you down, so I never use a flashlight nor a head light. If night time lasted shorter, so that I could at least for an hour or two get to play a little in daytime, then I wouldn't complain. At pitch dark you can't see items, making looting almost impossible without gamma switch. I don't use it against other players (thus far, I avoid other players as well as I can) only to get the little food/water I've been able to get my hands on. Because with how quickly you get hungry/thirsty, you have to be on constant look out for food. An example on the visibility, I had the gamma switched up, and still didn't see the zombie before I bumped into him, screaming like a turd :P So yeah, I get that nighttime is supposed to be dark, but a little less, so that you can at least move around, and switch more often on day/night so that we who work daytime can actually get to play some in the light too, that would be good.

First of all, I think we should spawn with at least 75 % fullness in both, considering you have to run quite a bit to get away from the spawning location and to loot sites that hasn't been raided already, sometimes quite damned far. Second, I drank until I got frustrated, and was still thirsty! So, not sure it fixes things. At one point I drank 10 times, and still was thirsty a minute after. My woman is a whiny c***, that't the conclusion I eventually came up with, so at this point whenever she starts complaining, I go "Deal with it, woman!". Or, "Shut up!". Lol, we're not on friendly terms at this point :P

Besides, less money = less quality. If people contribute by paying, these guys can make us a great game, and not ONLY that, they also have a feed back system (a great one!) which allows us to show exactly what we need, what isn't working, what's irritating, etc. They have a great set-up in which users and makers can co-operate to make the experience something we'll be happy with, and that's a whole lot better than the game coming out, everyone complaining cause; "this isn't how we wanted it". + in the long run we get it for 1/3 of full price! It's really nothing to whine about. God knows a lot of game-makers could do with listening a bit more to the people, these guys are doing a great job, and really listening on what is needed. So, I don't get the issue at all.

Lol, then it's not nice, cause then they might as well have re-spawned :P

Problem is, some of us run like hell as soon as we see a flashlight. God I needed a can-opener last night, but after getting killed once and chased another, I decided the best was to avoid other players altogether. It's hard enough to stay alive as it is :P

Rofl, brilliant. Or they're looking for their unconscious friends :P

Sometimes I hit the internet +refresh +fiddle with servers, and it just won't work. Only solution I have found so far, is restarting the game (and steam). Then usually it works straight away!

Thanks! Because the unconscious feature is bugged to heckers, lol. I made two attempts to wake up by myself, gave up and shot myself eventually. Nice to hear that someone would be nice enough to help out in-game though, that's pretty awesome!

After having played with a friend, I agree the unconscious issue takes a lot of the fun out. Especially cause it happens so easily! And then you're basically left with no choice other than respawn, cause who bothers waiting for 45 minutes while your buddy has nothing to do. 10-15 minutes would be fine, but almost an hour?? It's def. not working. Also wish you couldn't eat and drink, and then be thirsty and hungry again 2 seconds later. In real life people don't have to eat every fifth second. Gets more annoying when you start out, have just died, and you have to search forever to find anything to eat.

Only reason I found my way yesterday was reading signs, finding the coast, railroad, anything else of landmarks that could help me figure out where I was... My friend knows the map in her head from before, but if you haven't memorized it or played a shit ton, it's harder.

I like that attitude! And I certainly won't be retaliating by shooting stuff on sight, just cause i got KoS'ed. I got killed once, and shot myself twice yesterday. Sure it's a bit annoying to lose the stuff, but all in all, it's so easy to die due to the bad food/drink loot balance anyways (mostly rotten fruit and canned stuff, so if you don't find a can opener), so getting killed doesn't really bother me much now. It's more the fact that it's more fun to explore, loot and kill zombies (killing zombies with a fireaxe was awesome), and even more so if it's possible to find people to run around with. The way it was on the server I was on yesterday, it was pretty much a death sentence to come across another player. Meaning, I ended up sneaking past most I saw :P
