Wow still no patch... This thread is just one big cock tease.

Shameless Bump

So I was watching Battle Royale again last night and it got to this magnificent scene: http://www.veoh.com/watch/v329286855s9swS9?h1=Battle+Royale+Poison+Scene (Sorry for poor video host, only youtube vid was in French) And it got me thinking. There seems to be a desire to shift the game dynamics to more cooperative play and for ways that people could get back at all these nasty bean killers. To me, poison seems like a nice addition. I propose that some kind of poison is created that can be combined with food or water sources to either boobytrap your existing gear or to be used offensively by then gifting the item to fellow players or descretely adding the item to the backpack (and waiting for it to be consumed). There could be a requirement for an antidote, but personally I wouldnt bother. For my initial proposal: 1) I would recommend that poison effects cause a temporary (1-3 mins) blackout and timer with a loss of 3-6000 blood 2) The item has no features that can identify it as poisoned, even in your own inventory. If you combine the poison you have to remember which item it is. Effects on gameplay: Trust is a big one. You wouldnt necessarily know the source of the item. So you could give it to friendly team mates and then claim innocennce as they pass out on the floor. You could even finish them off if you wish... Also boobytraps for players that have killed you. Not enough to be unfair or unbalanced (I for one LOVE to kill for beans) but enough to say "fuck you" and if they are injured from your encounter, potentially kill them. I tend to roll with a pretty large group (30+) so I think this game is a little different for us compared to the lone wolves out there. I also think that the survival time is increasing as more people convince friends to purchase the game or form groups. This would provide a solution for the times when 5 of you find a particular weapon and you dont want to share. Thoughts on this? (BTW if you haven't already watch Battle Royale (available on free Netflixs trial atm). It will teach you loads about surviving in a true PvP enviroment with only a pan lid for protection... OMG shotgun is OP!!! Nerf RQD)

How does this even happen? When you see the guy DC do you not move? How do you know its the same guy coming back in another position and not someone else attracted to your gunfire? If you know it is the same person and they have moved to a better position why haven't you? This whole argument makes no sense to me

Wow 79 pages and countless posts asking for an ETA casually ignored by Rocket. Any one else think these stupid no weapons on spawn ideas are causing the delay?

Any timing on this update yet?

YES I am against it. But want the community to suffer for doing something so stupid. Cant wait to spawn rape :D

Removing starting pistol is the worst idea and I have no clue (really!) why anyone would suggest it and/or think its a good idea. Realism? Yes because real people regularly wake on the side of some random sea with no idea how they got there in the middle (not beginning) of a zombie outbreak. Besides two or more freshly spawned clowns with only pistols are evenly matched. Its the stalkers who enter Cherno/electro looking for people with decent weapons already that will clean up if starting weapons were removed. Do what you want I suppose. No point complaining about it. I dont see it lasting long though when the south coast already gets cleaned out of loot as it is with everyone spawning and camping round there. With everyone starting needing a weapon there wont be enough to go round so whoever does get hold of a weapon can kill as many as he wants. And it will get changed back when these forums start crying again. More importantly, when will this update get realeased? I thought this was a thread detailing the patch notes for an impending update not some suggestion thread. What do we do Rocket? keep suggesting ideas hoping for them to be shoehorned in or sit back and wait for the patch to be released? And if so when? You have us excited now and word of the update has spread. When will it be released? (Seriously having read the entire thread this is the only question thats relevant to the OP thats yet to be answered)

when will this update be rolled out and will it be active across all/most/some servers when it does? The server browser is a bit of a mess at the moment with the various versions running.
