You're right, they should fix it. By adjusting it so that you can see at night, similar to you know, real life. Until then I'll adjust it myself, with the settings.

I don't see how using gamma and brightness to be able to see in a full moon is an exploit. Do yourself a favor and walk outside next time there's a full moon and sit out there for 20 minutes and you'll be able to see great.

I always move at night. "The snipers can see you through their night scopes, but at least you have some cover from the infected" as our good friend doyle said. Night time is safer, and since it's a survival game it only makes sense to stick to the shadows.

Bravo, OP. Well done. Keep the carebears on edge until I get back to slaughtering them.

So every server essentially becomes a private hive? Also, responding to other posts, yes, there are announcements they may or may not get implemented in the next year regarding issues, that hardly restricts the ability to discuss the topic.

I punched a rabbit a few times but the server lagged and 2-3 seconds later the punching made bullet ricochet sounds on the ground around me and I thought for a split second I was being shot at. My chest hurt for about twenty minutes afterward from the adrenaline rush

Server hopping is easy enough when gear spawns if you're 200 meters away, it only takes about one minute to run far enough away and logout that gear will spawn. However, I'm fine with that system, so long as everyone realizes it won't actually stop server hopping at all. The timers would be very annoying IMO. I guess if the timers are implemented it would be nice if you still had a set number of free server changes per time period. I'd hate to wait some of the ridiculous times I've seen suggested (30+ minutes) every time I get into a server only to get poor performance.

Pristine acogs, antibiotics, and other elite level gear that won't be easy to acquire would be ruined. Sure, you could keep hopping and run around with an orange mountain backpack and a few mags of ammo, but you can find that anywhere on any single server.

Server hopping right now is a major issue due in part to the fact that loot is already spawned when you log into a server, which makes it very efficient to server hop. Timers to join servers or combat log would perhaps slow it down. However, here's something I propose. In a twenty four hour period, players are limited to a certain number of servers, say 2-3. After these initial two servers, every server change in this time period would result in five percent gear degradation. This means that hopping 5 servers would result in a severe damage penalty on your gear. This would allow players to change servers for reasonable purposes and normal play, but would prevent server hopping for the purposes of farming gear and sniping.

Most of the types that complain about KoS claim to shoot someone in the back if they're trying to just run away. What's the difference? There is none. The people I snipe from 400m away are no less of a threat than a new spawn with a melee trying to run away when being barked orders at in a squeaky voice over direct chat.

Where's the option for never getting held up because when idiotboys run around yelling on direct chat they get shot?

I don't have time to listen to police academy dropouts yell at me over direct chat. Losing gear never matters, but landing an axe or shooting them is always rewarding.

Don't worry about all the types here that want you to ditch the good gear so you won't be more of a "target". Assume everyone is going to kill you anyway, and use your superior gear to kill them first.

I usually scout the area I want to snipe until I find a spot that has both a good view of the target area, but is also not a popular spot that would result in players logging in near me. After that I sit in my sniper hide I've found for the next 3-4 nights only moving to knock down grass and I watch the area until I need to go resupply.

Ditch the handgun and use the space for something useful.
