sweet update! A shame that the combat mode has changed from killing the disconnecter and leaving a body though.. means people will still ctrl+alt+del out or whatever :/

Please read this all, I'll try to be brief but its a really odd problem. I was on US #500 "blood4odin & hull_creature server" Last night, there had been some strange stuff happening - people dying then being fully loaded up again within 15 - 30 minutes, but i figured maybe they had tents near by or whatever. Anyway, I was checking out some dead bodys on the roof of the power station in Electro when i was shot, I went unconcious for a while then came to and rolled to safty behind the tower of the firestation/powerstation building. A player appeared infront of me (server hopper) so I shot him in the back of the head, and within a minute I had been stripped of all my GEAR, still had some items in my backpack though. Then, While still taking cover from the snipers my legs broke - i wasn't moving at the time, and after another minute I was teleported about 2 feet behind the snipers where they started yelling "what the F(*K" "HOW THE F*&K?" etc then shot me. I figured they were the cheaters who had done that to me but couldnt figure out why they had that reaction.. (I have their names) Then, I respawned just outside of electro and started to run back in to collect gear and hopefully get revenge on these snipers when a boat spawned on top of me, with 3 players inside. These players I had all seen die recently yet (as the video shows (which I've yet to upload)) were fully kitted out, 2 in ghillies, 1 with AS50, 1 with L85 and the last with a GOLD AK47?? I was killed by 1 of them while the other two seemed to ignore what was going on and I figured cheats and quit the server. Before I was killed though I was calling them cheaters over direct chat/voice and one replied via text "Then we were on you" I figured he was full of it because of the gear they had and the Gold AK47. The last incident has happened just now, I logged into a new server with a fresh character I started earlier, I had agro'd zombies so just bolted to the nearest lighthouse, climbed up and waited. I went off to grab a drink and came back and my backpack (normal small survivor pack) was on the ground at the top of the ladder and I couldn't pick it back up, no option.. I couldn't even figure out how it had "fallen off" and I switched to 3rd person view and I am now holding an AS50 and have a big 24 slot pack on. None of which I picked up (clearly) So anyone got any ideas just wtf is going on? I hate cheaters and have never cheated at a game (*IDDQD on Doom) Any input from mods/admins etc would be appreciated. Again, just to be 100% Clear,, I DO NOT CHEAT. Cheers. (sorry for megalongpost)

here is a link to the video. http://youtu.be/ACAfK2-zMls I also noticed after rewatching the video that the player with the gold AK fires his 9mm SD at me around 30 - 40 times towards the end of the video and doesn't reload.

Hi Jeff, Quality servers! Kansas 1 is our home server. Lately though on Kansas 1 i've been having some issues, My debug monitor will disappear randomly and I'm not able to quench thirst or hunger and will begin to teleport back to where I was 5 or so minute earlier. for example; I was in the Berezino supermarket, picked up an Alice pack and a few cokes then exited to the south of the city, i was heading to the treeline to log out in and without warning I'm back in the supermarket. This has happened a few times now and only seems to be on your server. The other strange thing that has happened today is that now when I log in to your server I'm in the supermarket (not where i logged out) and I have nothing.. no backpack, no gear at all. A similar issue is also happening to a friend of mine on your server. cheers

VictorM ^ has some solid points. My biggest beef (apart from people disconnecting to avoid being killed mid firefight) is people disconnecting mid firefight, joining another server, running around behind you, and logging back in to your server... This happens way to much, I don't see how people can do it and think they aren't cheating? Also very hard to report them on vet servers where you get no name tags and no kill messages. I think the best way (like mentioned above) is log out and log in timers, but not for 15 seconds, for a couple minutes.. maybe you can still move about when logging out and then when logging in you can run around but cant fire a gun for a couple minutes? Annoying part about it would be some servers don't run nearly as nice as others so its not uncommon for me to join a server and within a minute or 2 log out because of poor fbs or rubber banding or whatever else might be going on. But i would live with it to stop this other bullshit

bear traps will be awesome. My only fear is people will put them inside every building (barracks, firestation etc) There going to be any sort of limit as to where they can be placed OR anyway to disarm them?

I've never had an issue spawning in and dying. I won't head into the cities, instead i head north straight away and check out barns and smaller towns with supermarkets. North is where everything decent is.. I've never understood why people hang around the coast. However, Something incredibly fun that I and the lads I run with have started doing is heading back to the coast and hunting the spawn killers. It's satisfying to have 4 guys creep up behind a sniper, pose for photos without him knowing then direct chat to him he's about to die before pulling the trigger. What we don't do is kill new spawners or anyone carrying a makarov or winnie (unless they open fire on us)

[NEW] Melee Weapon introduced: Crowbar (can only drop through right click in gear menu) I figured this was a joke.. as in, to attack using it you open your pack, right click and select drop and it falls on the ground and does nothing at all.. Have i misunderstood or has everyone else?

I love the new update. The zombies need work or whatever.. but for the first time in about 2 weeks I died last night. (ever seen a cartoon where someone disturbs a bees nest, gets swarmed and has to run and jump in the water? It was like that but instead of water I got raped to death in a field by 20 zombies.) It was the first time I had felt fear since first spawning in however many weeks ago. Also love spawning without a weapon and having to crawl from the beach to the safety of the woods, again it brings back that fear. All most of a hopeless situation. I do wish you would spawn with a watch though.. most people have a watch. Would help find north too..

NO I think it's a little unnecessary, wouldn't be used. The way I tell if someone is a bandit or not is: When I bump into them, I get shot in the face or picked off from a distance without seeing them

YES Sounds terrifying.. in a boner inducing way.

I wouldn't mind paying a full game price - ($90NZD) or I don't mind the idea of say $10 for 20 or however many lives? I'm not a big fan of buying hats.. but being able to customize your character would be cool. I'd love this game to be stand alone and not a mod or dlc
