Unforeseen

While my friend was attempting to figure out where I spawned, I was busy learning controls and figuring out what I was supposed to do. 2 minutes into my first spawn I encountered two other players, lightly geared armed with 45s. I ducked back, had no idea how to communicate and went into a shed. They followed, yelling friendly into their mics as they approached. When I realized I was caught, I walked out and looked at them while trying to figure out what button activated text chat(I didn't have my mic with me). They realized I couldn't talk and told me what button to press. As soon as I started to type, they said they were going to give me a free .45 and shot me in the head.

I feel like the guns in SA are very realistic, and they should stay the way they are.

Then you shouldn't be on the forums. The purpose of an early access alpha is for players TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING IN THE GAME/WITH THE GAME so that the devs know what needs to be worked on. If you are not able to accept that, please leave and never return.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, i'd use search but half the features on this forum aren't working me? Anyways, immediately after joining a server and for varying intervals afterwards I am unable to draw my weapon or use any item in my inventory. I am also unable to take items. This leaves me vulnerable for the first 20 seconds to 2 minutes of my existence in the server with no way to respond to any situation that arises. I'm assuming this is the delay between me and the server as it syncs....but imo it shouldn't happen this way. You should have to sync with the server BEFORE it 'spawns' you.

Just hit the same hotkey you have assigned to the weapon.

Why does this thread have so many pages!? This will NEVER be implemented. Ever.

I like how you tried to completely change what I said. Civilians can own military weapons, but the point is: Civilian ownership of a weapon does not make it 'suddenly' a civilian weapon. The term civilian weapon refers to weapons that are non-military, and usually semi-automatic. An M4 for instance is not a civilian weapon.

AR-15 Semi (Lootable in residential, while making the M4 only spawn in military), increase the variety in hunting rifles, but reduce the spawn rate of scopes. PU Scopes are too common, compared to the M4 Acog. Handguns should spawn at a much higher frequency, much higher than rifles/shotguns etc. Essentially you should be able to walk into any given town and find a pistol of some sort. That being said PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANY MORE GUNS UNTIL THERE ARE ENOUGH ZOMBIES AND AMMO SPAWNS ARE REDUCED. There is too much... an unrealistic amount of KOS as it is without adding MORE guns. Just because you can obtain one as a civilian does not make it a civilian weapon. Think before you post please.

News Flash: At the end of the day it is still NOT a shooter.

I love how the people who just KOS because its how they get off always come in here and try to claim its for survival purposes. Must make them feel better. I've killed a grand total of two people in cold blood since I started playing this game. One because he was afk and bleeding out and I needed rags so I was like oh wth. And two because the guy was lagging so bad he was going to get shot anyways so I did him a favor and put him out of his misery.

He didn't say you can be pro and noob at the same time...he said the worst gamers kos because its easy. Seems like a lot of folks on these forums don't know how to read or choose not to before posting.

Right because its so very necessary to defend yourself against an unarmed newspawn. This is an obvious KOS(without probable cause) attempt on the their end. Not the OP.

Don't listen to that guy, most people KOS becasue they can't get their jollys anyway else. 90% of the people you try to talk to will either kill you immediately, or try to kill you when your turn your back. This will all change later on in the games development as ammo and guns will be alot harder to come across(making it not worth the risk to random kos), and zombies will be everywhere making teamwork a must with such low ammo supplies.

You guys are all trolls. The OP is saying that you can't blame alpha for the devs not following through with the expectations of themselves that they gave to the buyer. This has been a VERY sloppy alpha, no matter which way you choose to look at it. The devs should not have made so many promises, and focused on fixing ALL of the currently existing bugs before adding new features so to not create a pile up.

Especially if your playing SA the game will start to drag once you've managed to get yourself some gear. You'll probably find yourself choosing from one three categories. Hero, Bandit, and Survivor. Heros are the folks that try to save people like you from bandits, or like the Medics who help others recover from injuries so they don't have to respawn. This is perhaps one of the hardest roles to play as. You are really forced to put yourself out there, you can't really kill someone unless they are a proven bandit or shoot at you or your friends. Bandits are the opposite of Heroes and come in many differant flavors. There are those that hold up and rob you. There are those who kill you and then rob you. And there are those who just kill you because they can. I feel that being a bandit is likely pretty easy, but i have never cared to try it so idk. Survivors take every situation on a case by case basis. They don't follow any particular attitude towards other players like Heroes and Bandits do and do whatever the situation requires in order to have the best chance of not dying. If that means killing a man for a 9v battery to power your flashlight for the night then so be it, but only because there was no other way. This is the way i play, i never betray the people i'm traveling with, and i will help others when i deem that it is safe to do so but i will kill if i feel like i have to.

Helped me with a broken leg in the NW Airbase. Even escorted me off the base. Guy called Gunny, thanks alot!

These aren't bugs, so why would they be 'fixed'? Perhaps it is intended for resources to be scarce because this is a zombie apocalypse survival game? It would take even longer to travel in real life. So stop complaining and either wait for the actual release or go for a hike.

Funny that this guy assumes that because he has not had an issue with disconnects that if someone else does it cannot be game related. Please don't go into any customer/technical support fields.

Just experienced this, i was inside the firestation on the NW airfield. Noone else on the server (to my dismay); i did not fall and i was not attacked. I just all of a sudden had a broken leg.

Binoculars to advantage players who are disadvantaged by using a weapon that cannot have a scope fitted to it. This gives them the ability to scout out a town before enterting it rather than relying only on their natural eye sight. Must have item going forward.

Combat logging only occurs when you log out during an active engagement. Logging out before or after an engagement cannot constitute a combat log because combat is not occuring. To say otherwise suggests that logging out in the middle of nowhere could be considered combat logging because there is the 'potential' of combat.

About 50% of the time any hardcore server i join including non-private hosted ones will load my regular character instead of my hardcore character. In other news my hardcore character was reset by the server last night :( many hours of wasted game play.
