Good point about looting! I never thought of it that way.

So just kind of bumping this. Has anyone found any crash sites in stable yet?

I still haven't come across any in stable. Has anyone?

Oh Gews. I think we all know how much you want this to be so real life that if you die once you uninstall never to play again but what do you think is a good death animation? Just leave it as you're walking along minding your own business and without a gunshot sound or anything you just get the You Are Dead Screen? I'm not being rude, I really want to know if you have an opinion on it? Do you like the idea of stats after you die?

I'm not quite that hardcore, (More because my internet is capped so I can't play that much.) but my nephew played the mod like this. Almost every time you talk to him he has another story of 5 of his group defending Balota bunker with 4 choppers, 3 Urals a bus in front of the gate and all sniper rifles for 5 hours until someone finally got through by crashing a plane into them. It is very, very rare that you find a game that you can actually tell a story to someone about and it sounds and feels like real life. You can't do that in COD as you get like 20 kills in a 10 minute round and then do it all over again. In this game every kill and encounter is different and it sticks in your memory. That's why this game is so popular and why it can be addicting to some.

Yes I've come across one on stable as well. They seem rare so far but I liked the change.

So has anyone found a tent yet? Is it persistent? Can you store things in it? Sleep in it?

It's been said so many times. Current zombies are placeholders and will not be the same once they get to optimising them. There's no use fixing them now as they're not going to be the final product. I'm enjoying it for what it is which is a game that is bare bones. Nothing's done, not 1 think which is what I expect for a game that's been live alpha for 6 months. I can't wait to see it grow but I will wait.

In the mod global voice chat was annoying so if you did it you got kicked or warned but I think that global typing would help this game in its current state. I know that some bandits would use it to bait noobs by asking for help and then killing on sight, (we've all been on both end of that in the mod if you played it.) but that's your fault if you fall for it. It could help a bit with trading gear, meeting up with friends who don't have you added on Steam, TS or Skype or just to find out where battles are happening. (If you're into that.) I think it would keep some people who are getting bored interested if there was a bit more interaction by being able to type to the whole server. It could also help to stop KOS if someone gets shot in the back to let other people know who not to trust or to report where the cheap campers are. I searched the forum first and can't seem to find much mention of it so has anyone heard of a timeframe or even if this is being considered to be added? What's the communities thoughts? Would you want it in game or not?

Great, can't wait to run into you at my rock-cleft. It was a great spot for hiding tents and vehicles in the mod too. Now all the noobs know about it! Noob!

Right now just getting to know the new towns. Played heaps of the mod so I know all the existing areas but once my friends come back I can be their tour guide.

I wish you luck but I think all you're going to get is a bunch of 15 year olds yelling "f@&$ 'da police!" as they shoot you in the face. Kids have no respect for authority these days.

Yes I've seen a server or 2 that do that. Very helpful.

With my fantastic 3G internet stick when the re-load sound was in I would sometimes hear it several seconds before I could see anything if move. Nay for that reason....at least until my 4 house street in n.z. gets broadband!

Actually, just had this happen yesterday and I haven't been back. I had a mosin, put it down because I found a shotgun and never used one so just wanted to test what the sight looked like. No message received....server restart. I guess I better start hunting for shotgun shells soon. :(

Server restarts without a warning while I'm in the middle of the street or in a popular spot.

We're in a game. I would rather be able to communicate with people more often then just in the few minutes that they're standing beside me.

Why do you think that? Whatever server you're in could allow it.

So has anyone seen any mention of this by the devs or is it not even on their radar at this point?

100 plus hours and still let my presence be known first. Either by a shot across their bow or a hello. Then gauge their reaction. They scope up, run and hide or don't respond by text or chat then I'm suspicious or opening fire. I won't shoot you in the back or front without you knowing I'm around. I've had the "you are dead" screen pop up randomly for no reason too many times!

And the realism vs. enjoyable gameplay debate rears it's ugly head again! Haha.

Verbal chat yes but what about just typing with the option to "mute" someone who's spamming the text, either by the admin or individual players. Actually, mute voice option for individual players would be fine too.

But then I could be calling someone out for like an hour and think they're ignoring me not knowing they just have it turned off...

Yes okay, so side shows up for everyone on the server and global is just for admins? Is that right? I might have the wording wrong.
