How come you can't put an M4 into a backpack, but you can put the firefighter's axe in it? If you compare the measurements of an M4 with that of a firefighter's axe, you'll see that they're quite alike in length and weight although the axe varies and can be longer, shorter or weigh more than the M4 does. If you cba to look it up, the regular measurements for a firefighter's axe seems to be 28 or 38 inches long and weighing between 3.5lb and 8lb where 6lb seems to be the most common, whereas a M4 seems to have a total length of 33 inches and weigh 6.36 lb unloaded (according to wikipedia), is there any feasible explanation for this?

I do roleplay, sometimes serious sometimes less so, however I don't see that as a game mechanic, you can RP in any game that gives you the possibilities to interact via text or VOIP. I don't think I've played a single game online where I don't roleplay to some degree. Sadly on regular servers roleplaying seems to go amiss, particularly if you're going to do something other than running around ranting and raving - trying to get everyone to remove their pants. As far as game mechanics go, you're limited in what you can do (and don't take that as a complaint - it's just an observation about the current build).

So what other game mechanics are there, other than combat and exploring? Spray-painting a weapon isn't really an activity. Well, exploring to me includes interaction with other people but player interaction isn't a game mechanic and as far as game mechanics go the game is pretty limited at the moment. So I will maintain my idea that the only two things that are currently viable in the game is exploring and/or killing or dying.

Except at this point in the game, there are more or less only two things you can do: explore and/or go die/kill other players.

I'm thinking...

Well... do you want to know what killed you? "Not sure lol." that right there is what killed you. It is bad enough that you write "lol" but if you actually say "lol" I would have shot you too, again and again and again and...

@OP. Just wait for private hives, then there will be servers with rp that hopefully holds higher quality than "I have to defend myself" (although horrificly misspelled and 300 lulz in a sentence consisting of five words).

Just stay away from rotten fruit. But damaged cans are no issues. I haven't had any issues with damaged bandages either. Ruined weapons such as knives, screwdrivers and the like can still be used to open up cans with.

The NIN version is and always will be better than the Cash version. Though, he did a great number of Personal Jesus (however no one does covers as Tori Amos). On topic though, amusing story. One rabid dog less and you got two cans of spaghetti on top of it, would call that a win (since it obviously was self-defense). Have some beans.

I fail to see how you engaged in any bad server hopping here. The server hopping that most people frown upon is the one where you log out in an area with military loot and hop from server to server to accumulate military grade equipment with minimal effort and/or risk in a short period of time. Not necessarily military equipment, but equipment in general but since military equipment is the equipment that most people want. I play on at least four different servers, depending on what time I play and how many people there are at the servers when I play and I wouldn't consider myself a server hopper.

That argument is invalid. Why? Because there are respawns. Killing someone, particularly someone who doesn't have any weapons - doesn't make him or her less of a threat, since he or she will just respawn. So that's the worst argument someone could possibly use in that situation. You do realise that there's only one thing for you to do right? Put him down like a dog, after all... he might be a threat to you in the long run, particularly since he's the one thinking everyone else is a threat and will sooner or later see you as a threat so it would be better to just raise that gun and put a bullet in the back of his skull when he least expects it. Seriously though, you should... just because it will be fun as hell when you do.

You mean "Newspawns Killed: 4,232" ...must be hard.

No, I honestly don't think it's needed. I had never played the mod before, nor had I actually seen any clips from the game online. It's not that hard really. Most things are pretty damn logical and the basic things are easy to get a hang of. I guess the only thing would be ripping your shirt to rags to use as bandages. If you haven't played Zomboid or seen it online, you probably wouldn't think of doing that. There should be one loading tip in this game that should be: "When (not if) you die, think about what you should have done differently."

No PvP is not allowed. Only day - who cares, everyone adjusts gamma during night time play anyway, so night time is pretty much ruined anyway. 3PP:On - if you don't like to play in 3PP, no one is going to force you to play there. So... the real question is really, why the f did you even bother making another totally pointless thread?

I would say I knew him, he had started planning that betrayal for about a year before he actually did it. Can't say I blame him, he played it pretty well I must say. I have done similar things against real life friends, although not on perma-death servers - but killing your real life friends and looting their corpses, or luring them into traps. As long as it fits the character. The only thing I wouldn't do is loot someone's corpse just to delete their items or sell their items to npcs. Need to have a fair chance of getting their stuff back, with or without the help of friends. People need to stop taking things so damn personally. It's a game, spice it up - and as a personal rule, make sure that it is on equal playing grounds. No point in killing someone that can't defend themself... unless you're a coward that is. I'd rather die from another player's betrayal than from spawning on a server where you can't do jackshit and a zombie kills you. Any day of the week, except Tuesday mornings.

With the added spraycans I'm gonna do whole cars.

I can tell you that playing with people that you actually know doesn't protect you from betrayal. Not that it was an incident from SA, but from a MUD with permadeath - where I was betrayed by someone I had played with for 2½ years, which was also someone I talked with outside of the game.

You never buy fruit that doesn't grow in your country? Most fruits such as bananas and oranges doesn't really grow well inside a regular house and since you find most fruits inside of houses... one would think that they're there because the previous owners perhaps bought a couple of bananas once? The only fruit tree I've seen in game are apple trees or what looks to be apple trees anyway. Haven't seen any orange groves and not a single kiwi tree nor any palms with bananas.

There's a possibility, but nothing official on it and as Hall said "successful sales = porting to console = more sales" although he has also said that he wouldn't be part of porting it cause he couldn't care less whether it exists on console or not, but from a publishing point of view it would make sense since it would increase number of sold copies. Other than that I guess it is a judgement call if it is worth the effort when you compare the number of potential sales to how much time it would take to port. But it certainly wouldn't happen until the computer version of the game has been released.

Berrypicking and shotguns!

Personally I prefer to not have advertisement for existing products in a game that I've bought...it is bad enough that I am subjected to advertisement in real life.

Although this topic makes me want to point you towards solipsism, I will refrain from doing so. As others have said, go to full servers and check out the large towns - you're bound to see someone. Whenever you start moving in lands on a medium populated server, you seem to be totally alone... until you notice that there's a door open in the building right across from yours and it wasn't open when you entered yours.

My first kill took place in Solnichiy, at the house by the water well. Some random person approached by, asking if I had some food for him - since he was starving. I hadn't yet figured out which was the text chat key and my headphones aren't working due to sabotage by cat (have to find some with cloth covered cords, so if you know of any: let me know, cause she never chews on those it seems), so I couldn't reply to him - instead I just dropped three cans of food (I only had six in total mind you, so I must say I was being very generous). Then all of a sudden he attacks me. I suppose it could have been because it takes a while for things to spawn once they're dropped and he thought that I wasn't going to give him any or he just wanted my mosin. So he kept stabbing me with his bayonette while I was looking in the game settings for the chat key. I panicked a bit cause I was in the damn menus and it was my second life in the game and on my third hour in total in this game. I managed to get my fire extinguisher though and proceeded to hit him back. I thought I was going to die, but I figured that if he is attacking me - the least I could do is repay the favour and hopefully he would succumb to his wounds and die just as I thought I would. As it turns out, bashing a fire extinguisher against someone's unprotected head, works better than trying to stab someone with a bayonette. Needless to say I was more than half dead when the fight ended, but on the upside I got my food back, plus a bayonette and four rounds for the mosin! ...about an hour later I glitched down a ladder and died. C'est la vie.

Since when did zombies become a race? You might want to learn the definitions of words before you use them. The problem with censoring words is that you can just type or write the words with spaces between each character or you can just write one capital letter, followed by a small x then the next capital letter followed by another x and so on and so forth, the point is that there's plenty of easy ways to circumvent censorship that just removes certain words. If you replace a u with a v, it's still easy to read for instance. Now I can't seem to think of a sentence with a u in it thovgh. Then again, it might reduce the use of racism by censoring words. Hopefully they will think of some way, cause it would be a nice feature.

Removal of phantom sounds (you know, zombies where there are none, opening and closing of gates and so on), server stability (desync issues), some minor cooking (just to be able to boil rice would be nice) or crafting added, smoother object interaction (particularly ladders and certain gates/doors).
