LOL so want to get all big brother about it and limit server changes to prevent this? if they join one server, loot it for 5-10 mins, leave and join a second server do the same thing, then do it a third or fourth time within a certain time period - it would detect you're "hopping" and give you a 5 or 10 min timer when joining the next server just to discourage/slow you or as the OP suggested - even reset your character? i personally dont care if players want to spend all that time looting/hopping and im sure there are many who do it that's why i said it was part of the game and you can find plenty of players to kill doing this, but personally im too lazy to keep switching servers trying to find holy grail loot -i just work with what i have on that particular server. if something was implemented to prevent this it may really annoy those who are not actually hopping but just switching servers for other reasons, like looking for other players. i know servers restart quite often so that would need to be recongized so they're not punished etc why does it even matter if players who are willing to spend that time, hop from server to server, really a problem for you? I'm not seeing it. you set too many limitations and you will get backlash.... some players are all about their loot and joys of just finding particular loot. if i have to switch servers now for any reason, first have to crash to desktop and re-open the game.....lovely feature and makes me not even want to switch servers, ever.

look at like this, they couldn't handle what the world has become....zombies are taking over, they wanted a way out instead of being eaten. that's realistic scenario.

nothing wrong with suicide......what's wrong with them wanting a better spawn?

no reason to aim down sight that close (or at all with the shotty), use the dot and put it on the player's torso area-one shot should put em down. edit: also, the railing may interfere too, avoid shooting through railing to be sure.

I just don't want the loot to go to waste, and like to know where players have died. If the bodies rot that is fine, just still have the loot on the rotten body.

bring it on....will go well for sniping in the forest

hmmm im not sure about that, so you're saying if you don't loot the dead body before they turn, the zombie would be geared and you have to kill it to get the gear from it? interesting concept.....but think id rather use the dead body as bait for other survivors.

stop feeding him

i look forward to when bodies don't disappear on their own, it's annoying when the loot is wasted.

no way, server hopping is part of the game....nothing wrong with it. if you don't like it, camp high loot areas and wait for server hoppers to show up and kill em to make yourself feel better.

i actually agree, don't even like how you can hide bodies at all but it's not nearly as bad as them disappearing after 10-15 mins on their own.... quite lame. i would like to use the bodies as bait!

they should stay there until they are hidden or the server restarts, all that gear just goes to waste if you don't get it off the bodies in time....anyone else agree they shouldn't have an disappear timer? also, on a slightly different note- not sure if this is the case on stable, but on exp you can't even drag the gear directly off the bodies anymore....you have to put it on your person first. i hope that's a bug and not on purpose!

I used to be all friendly and only killed in defense, but now at nearly 400 hrs... things have changed. I don't mind dying, and I don't mind killing anymore. I don't care if I get sniped, my fault for giving him the chance. gear, hunt, die/kill, repeat....we'll see how long before I get bored with this process, but still a thrill at this point. i also do medical rescues given the opportunity.

I agree, good idea!

Go to the new big town Novo in the NE, finding players there on high pops.

thats' a nice rifle, CZ produce quality firearms.

yes both stable and exp crash on me when i switch servers or when i try to exit the game, don't think 44 version did that.

I have more firearms than I would need personally, and consider myself an enthusiast but for this game- there's other things the devs need to be focusing on more. Should it ever be corrected? I guess, but it's defiantly not priority at this point. It may even make finding the right ammo a real chore if there's so many different calibers to filter through.

you can catch carp now...

how about being able to set your character's body type- overweight, thin, average, muscular, etc....? im not so sure about height thou since making your character really short could make it difficult to hit.....but think body type would be interesting.

perhaps, just a thought

I'm sure some players would like to express themselves, personalize their character regardless of the advantages/disadvantages. plus it's adding more realism to the game when not everyone has the same body type....

i believe it was splitting axe ive used the most but have tried the fireman's axe too. i probably just didn't chop enough trees down to get to that point.

ive chopped a few trees with an axe and ive yet to see it ruined, maybe it takes a few more.

64 bit servers :)
