The thing is; it's pretty obvious when someone kills you but you will never know how many times somebody saw you and chose to let you go past. I watch people through a scope all the time to see what they do and if they are just going about there business, I just let them and I'm not just talking about noobs in the open, because there is an element of luck with positioning, I have seen plenty of players sneaking through the woods, who I just let go by. I'm not a hero and am currently playing as a survivalist helping my friends and trying to be friendly, if I do run into somebody. I have died many times and been shot on sight or kids have tried to take control of situations and order me about (sometimes I got away, sometimes I was shot). I have had my fair share of negative experiences but I have also been in many positive ones. I don't feel attached to my gear and don't care if I die even with this attitude, I don't die very often because I'm careful. 143 hours in I don't shoot on sight and know I never will. I'm not a carebear who thinks KOS ruins the game, because without it there would be no fear or excitement but don't judge us all by your own standards, there are many people with many different playstyles and really if you kill everyone you see, there may be a reason why you aren't meeting nice people, probably because you just shot them.

I like your friends remark "ask him if he still thinks he's so good now" made me smile :)

There have been quite a few posts about this already. Blood type does change but it's based on real life chances 0+ and A+ are the most common. I was O+ 4 times in a row and was beginning to think it was locked, then I tested my latest spawn and I'm now A+. So it does change.

I was joking because somebody complained about people complaining about people complaining. I wasn't defining what complaint was in general, I was just adding levity.

I protest. People shouldn't complain about people complaining, about people who complain, however It is ok to complain about the people who are complaining, about the people who are complaining, about the people who complain. but if you complain about the people complaining, about the people complaining, about the people complaining, about the people who complain, you have taken things too far.

The sprint vaulting thing should work but as was already said, you can just leave the game running till you starve to death, if vaulting doesn't work for you.

I agree completely the sun glare gives me a headache when running south into it for a long time. I would hope they either fix the intensity of the sun glare or make sunglasses functional. Yes there is sunglare irl for those who will say "realism" but sunglasses are used to reduce it.

Ghosting is logging out, changing servers then moving to flank or to gain a better position and then logging back in.

I started to think this after I always seemed to be O+ but after my last death my new blood type is A+

No way to tell really, could be a glitch or a hack, very hard to tell, seen some pretty odd glitches.

Talking to you is funny :)

Player has force drank you.

The rules did say; that kicking players to allow your friends to join is not allowed but this rule was removed recently, for some reason.

Since my last post I found 2 in cars and 1 in a school.

That isn't how you load the shotgun, you put shells in the shotgun, then use a loaded speed loader by pressing the "R" key. The more filled speedloaders you have, the more times you can press "R" without having to refill. When you are out of reloads, you will be left with an empty speedloader in your gun, which you have to take out before you can reload the gun. Yes shotguns do have a lot of recoil, thats normal. Fun side note (only tested with sawn-off), you can flatten bushes with 2 shots from the sawn-off, don't know if this works for the regular one. Don't know how the sawn-off performs against players, as I haven't had to use it yet but it does make me feel safe searching buildings. Edit: for typo.

You may not want unskilled or new people to join the game but we can't all be elitist and besides, I didn't say anything about people quitting because they die a lot, that happens anyway. I said new players would hate the game if they couldn't outrun zombies. I also wouldn't like it, it would mean that the only way to survive as a new spawn would be to avoid zombie aggro, this would completely change the meta game and besides, if the dev team thought zombies were too slow they would have made them faster, so I'm not the only person who thinks this isn't a good idea. The zombies are alpha zombies and the team seem to be taking a really good approach to the way they want them to behave, I for one like what they are doing and the direction they are taking with the game, Beans to rocket.

Haven't seen one yet :(

I have noticed military loot spawning in places it didn't used to spawn but it's a lot rarer. I like this change in many ways as it reduces the benefits of server hopping and means it takes longer to go from fresh-spawn to badass. Still changing it from too much loot in the tents to no loot, may be a bit much it would be nice if something spawned there, or maybe it does and it's already been taken?

This is a great idea but my uneducated guess is, that it would be quite intensive on the server resources.

Being a new spawn is bad enough trying to avoid the psycho players. New players would quit the game in droves if they also had no chance of outrunning zombies. They are working on the game and the AI and when performance is improved, zombies will have a much higher spawn rate, so looting will be harder as you will escape the aggro of 1 zombie just to run into another.

All I wish to gain by helping others is a chance that I may give someone a positive experience, a chance that someone else gives me a positive experience. I play as a survivor and keep a low profile but when I do interact with people, I always talk first and only shoot when fired at. I object to people calling themselves heroes who run around forcing people to accept help at gunpoint though. I never lower my weapon if someone orders me to, as this usually leads to handcuffs and rotten fruit. If you think you are a hero and you come up to me and try to force me to surrender, it's going to end badly for one of us. I don't surrender to anyone, how the hell am I supposed to know your intentions?

I don't agree with holding people up to help them, you may not trust them but they don't trust you either. Frankie as much as I like his videos, is not a true hero, he will quite happily shoot a guy out of a helicopter just to take it and kill anyone he sees as a potential threat, even if it's just some random guy running toward him oblivious to his presence just in case. Frankie is just a survivor who likes to have a reason or justification to kill somebody. A true hero risks his life to help others rather than risking their lives to help them. Watched a guy called RhinoCrunch who claims to be a hero and is one of the most aggressive and controlling people I have ever seen. A true hero does not bark out orders and tell people what to do, they are the first to lower their weapon, why should you expect anyone to disarm, if you keep a gun to their head? I engage in dialogue before I trust anyone and expect if the meeting is to be truly peaceful, both parties must lower their weapons and trust must be mutual. I am extremely careful and have had many positive interactions with players because I am willing to show faith rather than demand it. The pressure of a true show of trust is so tense that it gives you quite an adrenaline rush besides. nobody I chose to trust has betrayed me yet and you can usually tell the outright bandit types the second they open their mouth If they even bother to talk.

I'm confused, now did the topic originally say sawn and you said sawed because it's wrong or did it say sawed and you pointed this out and it was changed to sawn? In England we say sawn not sawed. Although if in America you say sawed, that's fine too but sawn isn't wrong.

I know there have been many suggestions and complaints etc. on this issue but I have a slightly different view from, what I have seen posted on the topic thus far, so before you suggest "search" please hear me out. The way I see it at the moment during the evening you can either play on fairly empty night servers or queue up for full daytime servers, where it's hard to get a group of friends all on the same instance. I don't dislike the night and I don't max my gamma, I quite enjoy it for a little while. Why not sacrifice a little realism in favour of gameplay. I suggest a 3 hour daytime followed by a 1 hour night time. Yes it would spoil the realism but it would encourage more night time play. I'm sure many of the regular players who avoid any server that is dark would be more likely to try survive the night, if they knew it would only be part of their gaming session not all of it. I see in the list oceans of empty night time servers and a bunch of full servers set to day. Pre patch I only seemed to see day only or night only servers and how is day only or night only realism? Please consider giving us a gameplay enhancing day night cycle. I think it would dramatically improve the game.

The ip is: 173.199.109:2302 Not sure who the host is. Edit: I logged out after I was reset gave it some time and then joined a new server just now and have been rolled back, the roll-back is from my time playing that server, It appears that the server was definitely connected to the hive when I first joined but had lost hive connection during the play session, the restart was not the cause of the loss of hive connection but was just the point at which it became apparent. Edit 2: This is not a complaint, I'm loving your game despite the problems, just trying to give you some helpful data.
