Seems like most people are north east after patch. On my server most people seem to spawn east near Solnichniy and there has been plenty of people in Berezino.

I always play a lone wolf avoiding people, seeing how long I can last on my own. As much as I love the intense nature of pitch black nighttime there is just no way I can go back to playing like that when most likely 50%+ of the server can see me bright as day, thats not survival, thats suicide.

Thinking about the 2 nights I spendt in utter darkness thinking it was safer to explore the towns, I'm amazed I survived all that lol.

Thats cool, So they should try tweak the moon then, making cloudless nights abit rare. Maybe I shouldnt have thrown out my headtorch and all my spare batteries last night duh... Edit: Ok Ignore that, gamma exploit ftw it seems....

I hope you will be wrong, some of the most intense and memorable experiences Ive had in this game was during pitch black night time.

If setting cluds to very high with max gamma and brightness doesnt work that is very good news. That means that some servers have fixed this issue or it is like the other person here said too much clouds. I hope I can go back to real night time again soon.

Set Clouds to very high. Problem solved.

No reason to change it, character is not bound to server. Join full daytime server, should be readily available.

I don't think zombies should be faster then players. The only advantage zombies should have is being numerous. What I love about zombie games/series/movies is how different people react to how the society around them collapses and food /medicine getting scarce. Zombies are there to fuel the constant pressure that applies to the player, and the true most dangerous enemy should be other humans. That's what make it interesting in my book. You can make it more difficult by increasing their numbers tenfold, their AI and how they react to gunshots. If your in elektro and fire your gun. ALL the zombies from the entire town and outskirts should start moving to that location creating chaos. I'd like top see zombies inside houses, walking in packs in woods. I could however agree too rare spawned zombies who have mutated in a different way then the others, making them extremely dangerous and spawning them in rare locations. But increasing the speed of all zombies is not what I think is the answer.

I have no doubt that most of the issues will improve, I have faith in Rocket, I just wish he start showing his sadistic side soon :) Removing most of the water pumps would be a great feature.

vehicles yes if he makes the map MUCH MUCH bigger, I'm talking 2x size here. If not, no. The map is way to small, even on foot.

Millitary grade weapons should be very rare, however firearms in general shouldn't. We shouldn't have too much problems finding a revolver or rifle. This is a survival game but the intense gunfights this game provides is just as important for the fun factor. Thats my beans.

First off, I want to say I'm a big fan of the game. I used to love playing the mod and just recently picked up the standalone. So far it's been real easy. Im playing on hardcore sever with 20-40 players online at all times and I don't server hop for loot Zombies are practically non existant and nothing to worry about and gearing up isn't hard at all. There are water pumps all over the place so soda cans/cantines/water bottles/purification tables aren't necesary. Food can be a bit tricky as a fresh spawn but once you get started that is no longer an issue aswell. That left me with nighttime, for a coupple of days I had alot of fun, not being able to see anything without using a flashlight. constantly toggling it on and off to check where the road was heading while being super paranoid someone might see my light and start stalking me. Putting on my headtorch and equipping my fireaxe to quickliy kill a zombie in my way. Put then I started thinking why.... Why do I never see the flashlight of another player, how can they move around so easily? I started fiddling around with the gfx settings, this is probably common knowledge for most players but I see alot of people complaining about nighttime so here is the fix for you: 1. Turn gamma to max 2. Turn Brightness to max 3. Set Cloud quality to very high Now you will see everything.... Flashlight are utterly useless with this setting. So now that I know this I just cannot go back to playing in utter darkness knowing that players can see me perfectly fine and shoot me down from a great distance. With the challenge of nighttime gone there is really just 1 thing you can do in this game that gives you challenge, and that is go hunting other players. So to those who complain about too many bandits, what do you expect when there is nothing else to do? I know the game will get alot harder and i really hope nighttime will be restored to how its supposed to be (Intense) The only way I can see myself playing this game as it is right now, is to go pvp.
