lone wolf murderer. i wanna use my bullets to something... those zombies are much friendlier than other players atm. sry fellow survivors.

i know, i know :) just a reminder for the community and devs (if they read this) :P

they should also implement craploads of more PvE threats (i know they are improving zombies) so that there would be some sense in shooting something else than just other players' faces. there should be more reasons to collaborate with strangers. as it stands, there is none. you are doing more than fine on your own in this non-hostile environment, even with bare hands. a bit off-topic here, but it's the reason for all the manhunting. there's nothing else to shoot out there.

my strategy; have a magnum in your hoodie. they can't see it :)

i think the logout timer should just apply there. your character would remain in game for X time (let's say 30 sec) before automatically logging out. you wouldn't want to do that in combat then...

i think 30 sec logoff timer no matter what. when loggin out legitly, your character would be on that spot for another 30 sec at the server. you would just need to find a safe spot to log out. you can either wait that time (to observe that you really are safe) or insta-logout and leave your character unattended for that time (showing some "logged out" status in menu when ready). i think 30 seconds is more than enough to prevent combat logging. you could kill anyone in 30 sec even with fists. longer timer would be an annoyance when you want to join another server with your friends. well maybe a minute wouldn't be that bad either...

tried it at first, ended up dying of hunger every time. then i though f*** it, and went for the map.

i know. as far as i know, all firearms are for PvP only. zombies are 0 threat.

honestly, when it comes to this alpha, it's like mosin = fully geared.

i'm not taking this game very seriously atm. later on if i try to break my own surviving record in the final game, yeah i would sneak very carefully to places and take my time.

i really wanna try it... do i need to redownload the whole game if i want to go back to the stable version?

mosin + magnum + axe + backpack = perfect life

i suck in PvP too, but what the hell. death = new challenges await. today i emptied 2 clips of M4 rounds to one guy who came at me with fists only. i f***ing lost :D i think he cheated since i'm pretty sure that atleast 2/3 of all the bullets did hit him. then again i was in crouch position so i don't know if there's some bug related to it. but yeah what ever. it's only alpha. random shit is bound to happen.

i once looted one certain building at night servers with only a flashlight (no gamma shit). i made sure it was empty and started collecting stuff. after a short while of moving back and forth in the building i turned around one corner where i had previously already visited and my light cone illuminated another player standing still behind that corner. i was scared shitless.

go hunt for people in airfields. not much to do beyond that at this point of the game. i've been in that situation too. when you have a lot of ammo, you feel the need to start spending them.

I'm not sure if there's been any discussion about this (didn't find anything with a quick search), but as it stands, travelling on foot feels too safe. When ever you find a town/city, that's when your problems start. I think it should be somewhat opposite to that. And yes, i know, where there's people, there's zombies, but the thing is that finding buildings should feel like finding shelter. Wich brings me to the next idea; enemy types. Zombies are extremely easy to kill out on the open, and they pose very little threat to you. When you are travelling in the deep woods of Chernarus, you should counter some harder enemies, something like zombie bears perhaps, wich are a lot faster and more durable than human zombies (wow. that sounded weird), also impossible to kill with fists. They should also be huge in size to make them even more scary. It could be extremely rare to encounter them, but the sheer knowledge of the existence of them makes it very scary to travel in the woods. It would also propably make people to more likely team up with strangers so they don't have to travel alone.

that poor bunny has been STITCHED together. i wonder who builds them in the forest...

it's not THAT massive... something like Planetside is something that you can call MMO. sure the map is big, but there's not that many players on one server. even Battlefield can host more players on one server, but it's definetly not MMO.

i sometimes go spread supplies to people at bambi-highway. sometimes some eager beavers try to come kill me with fists even if i have m4a1...

they should put that 30 sec timer for logging out. if you alt+f4, it would leave your character defenceless for 30 sec

appropriate typo. randoom -> random doom

i just wear it look more like a survivor... :(

sorry to thrash your theory, but it was only done to temporarily decrease server performance problems

it's not a small task, so i wouldn't expect them anytime soon.

try servers with low population. something like 2-5 players on them. most people tend to play on day servers.
