I play from the perspective that I am privileged to be able to test the mod, and anticipate bugs and problems. I then take video or screen shots of problems and report them. I don't get all butt destroyed cause a particular feature is being tested or was modified and forced me to adjust.

Auf Wiedersehen

And they could be killed for meat.

I think it would be cool if we had some kind of chemically activated light source in a plastic container we could carry around to illuminate our surroundings. Maybe even make some of them brighter or dimmer than others so you can decide just how much light you need. Or perhaps add an ignitable device in game that would light up a large area for about five minutes, but at a risk of being seen from long distances by player or zombies.

I like this idea. It seems more like an afterthought for when the game is reaching beta stages, but it's a great idea. Maybe add newspaper stands or just place them around towns like any other loot. I'd love to read up on some potential "lore" to the game.

You don't have to degrade yourself with personal insults. You are forced to update, because there was an update. I don't understand why getting the update is bothering you so much. And the forced updates are directly due to there being a lot of updates recently, which is ultimately a good thing.

Last night, I was crawling out of Elektro in the dark, when I see a guy in a ghilie suit creeping with a chemlight. I thought about shooting him, but I was also in a field surrounded by zombies. He didn't seem to see me, so I carried on my way. He probably shot like 4 other people after I left though.

All of which tied directly to the rate of patch releases. That sounds to be exactly what you're disgruntled about.

No. I'm with Nekosan. A kill message gives you the ability to drop guard as you know the target is dead. Without kill messages, you may need to be doubly sure someone is dead with another shot to the skull. One of the weirdest and funniest events in my game play so far was encountering someone in a barn and firing out of fear. I thought he was dead, but he was actually just unconscious and I yelped when I saw him move. I put a couple more shots in him, but it was funny. My friend on skype laughing at me.

While I'm not a fan of six launcher, it sounds like your complaint is more directed to the rate of patch releases in the last couple days. To which case, tough boobies. On the topic of the six launcher, I personally think it is really bulky for what it is. Why does it need a server selection function? We can do that in game, and the one in game is much more responsive. I prefer Worrom's updater, lean and simple, but its patch mirrors seem really slow to download from.

I love the video.

I agree. Direct water sources should be useful with or without a canteen, unless of course we are forced to boil it to not get sick.

While I agree with any kind of system that can indirectly discourage murders or at least increase the thought required of the player about to commit one, this seems entirely avoidable. If we modify the loot table for individual players based on their behavior, that breaks the "realism" that is pursued. Not trying to shoot you down, just sounds like a lot of trouble to implement only to have it not effect the people it is intended to effect because they jump servers or get loot from player kills anyway.

"Hey too many deaths are causing loot to be shit on the server" *abort* *log in to new server* *continue shooting people* or... "Looting is shit, guess I'll just loot bodies then."

I met a guy the other night who was honestly friendly. Exchanged skype/steam info and been playing together with my irl bro since. His irl bro is joining up to for a four man force. He was armed and using Direct Com asking not to be shot, then he was glad he met someone not interested in shooting him on sight. First time in two weeks though. My normal survivor run in experience is catching a sniper behind a bush and then watching him disappear when he notices he's been seen.

I've died about 10 times and I think I'm used to it now. I can anticipate the thrill of brand new looting again. I enjoy that "what will I find? what will I find?!" rush. Once you're camping out in the woods with all the food and drink you need, a CZ with enough mags, and a G17, it can get boring. Most of my deaths have been zombie related, or bugged zombie related. Bro and I looting a small hamlet outside Gvozdno, I enter a small shack to grab some cans, and then I'm being attacked through the wall, leading to a chain reaction of zombie aggro breaking both me and my bro's legs and killing us. I think I've only been killed by players once or twice, and those were early. I feel like each death teaches me how to play better, and the lesson sticks due to the loss involved.

Yeah, I ran to a high yield location when I respawned but the whole thing was covered in fence. I laughed though and moved on.

I will enjoy being able to kill and animal without ringing a zombie/player dinner bell.

It is funny how the tone of the conversation changes midway through. Good luck pressing charges on OP though. lol

Why not just have weapon strikes, like hit em with the butt of the weapon? Limitation of the engine?

Yeah, I imagine he was about to shut down shop unless you guys checked in.
