Alpha...FN isn't American. Neither is the Mosin or the CZ. Worry about this kind of detail when the game is in Beta or full release...not a few weeks into Alpha

Vehicles are coming sooner than that. At least low-speed vehicles. Bicycles are up first.

Gentleman farmer.

There are several US Experimental servers set to hardcore.

Killing zeds is so easy though...

Current zombies = temporary Current zombie respawn system = temporary Amount of optimization left to do = truckloads

Rescinded

THIS^^^ is the attitude to have. I got bug killed this very morning...nothing to be done, but get my try-hard pants on and spawn back in.

Rescinded.

I've not heard him say that. Could have missed it, but I've kept a pretty close eye on the development communications for the SA for the past many months. I wouldn't' worry too much until the development road map comes out, which should be soon. This should confirm or deny pretty clearly.

More stances = good Multi-functional stance keybind = good

Experimental.

The US sells ammo at blow-out prices to the Israelis...therefore it's chambered in .556 ;)

Not sure, but I've had weird stuff happen like entering a town I shoot a couple of zeds and nothing happens. Then I ax one and 5 zeds swarm me from all over. Probably more has to do with the zombie aggro & AI coding than anything. Seems like zombie alert is more strange since the latest patch, but I don't know if it's the respawn system or changes to something else.

Honestly, if you don't know it's happening it's pretty hard to notice, which is good. This means the logic for respawning is pretty good. However, occasionally a zed will spawn right in front of you or right behind you. From what I can tell re-spawns typically happen on the outskirts of a location and the zeds are typically facing away from the town where they would have been killed.

They been respawning since v. 37 went live last week. It's a very basic respawn system which isn't perfect, but zeds do respawn.

Have not had any issues on experimental with this latest version. In fact the one time there was a problem there was a clear explanation given that the server could not connect with the central hive with advice on what to do to avoid corrupting my existing character.

Solution: properly report exploits so they can be fixed. For every jackass that will actually pay a monthly subscription to hack in games like this, there are 1000 snot-nosed bozos who will exploit free-to-use in-game exploits at every conceivable opportunity. You cannot cure these people or eliminate them from the community. You report exploits/glitches properly so the dev team can fix them and learn to outsmart the lazy exploiting competition. The high road is nearly always the more difficult road.

Maybe you should go peddle this crap somewhere else...

Some key bindings I'd like to see added to the game in the future. Please add your own: Key bindings for: Turning flashlights and weapon lights on/offEjecting/emptying loaded or partially loaded weapon allowing for "r" reloading of Mosin and other weapons currently limited to loading via inventory menuHaving shorter/quicker animations/reload times for stripper clips & other speed loaders vs loading loose rounds would be fine with me. But having to open inventory, right-click empty, drag/drop/load ammo is silly. Multi-function stance key as described by many others in detail

Thanks for linking the multi-function stance thread KarmaCoin

I had a strange death this morning and would like the community's verdict on the cause. On the Hardcore experimental branch at 5:30 a.m. with 3 others in the server. Ran to the NWAF and was looting my first building...the jail building in the SE corner of the area. Upstairs in the bunk room trying to loot a .357 that is out of reach unless I run towards the bunk with my inventory HUD open. Anyway I hear one zombie grunt (had not heard anything prior), immediately followed by the telltale wash of grey across my screen like I'm hit by something and dead. No weapon on contact sounds of any kind. Now this could have been a sniper, but they would have had to be quite far away as I heard absolutely no sound other than the zombie grunt from no where. Also, it was low pop at that early hour and I would think Snipers would want stable branch servers with high population. I wasn't in a commonly watched area, had just arrived from that direction so I hadn't really exposed myself, and I was away from the window where you'd think at most my upper torso and head would be exposed to a sniper's bullet, but when I died I received a message of "legachepain" (or whatever the correct text is...) like I was hit in the lower body. What do you guys think? Sniper, bug, or ninja zombie? A glitching Zed would have had to one-hit kill me through the floor...which I don't find likely as I was triple green on health. So more likely a random bug death or sniper seems to me. Server was US Experimental 002 Hardcore I believe.

Silencer attachements don't work at the moment. Check the Dev Tracker thread. Chris Torchia commented on this yesterday in regards to why the new incoming silenced Ruger Mk II will be silent while other aren't working properly. Secondly, to turn on weapon lights you have to right-click turn on from the inventory screen I believe (couldn't tell if this is what you meant when you said "click to turn it on"). There is no key binding that will work at this time.

I was intentionally jogging-into/constant-colliding with a bunk bed to be able to reach a spawned item though the inventory HUD. Could be this caused a weird collision/clipping "deadly rocks" like bug death.

Gotcha. No problem. What do you actually think happened?
