uhm after playin more at night time, i changed my darkness vote to option 3. The actual darkness soon becomes quite unplayable. LIttle OT, but light sources (torch, headtorch, gas lamp, etc.) must be drastically improved to provide an acceptable realism/gameplaybalance.

I'm no weapon expert, but i feel that this doesn't apply in this context. I would expect a pristine weapon to act... pristine

I often join random server (i just hit play). While in game i can't see the server name, which could be a good information in case i need to leave and rejoin later. I suggest to add the server name within the 'P' screen.

Sure, very low. But very easy imo

I just run. I attack them only when axe-equipped, I've tried other melee weapons but none of them is effective enough.

Is it used/useful to anything at this time?

I heard that "roar" far somewhere, so i knew one zombie was chasing me even if i was inside a building. So i decided to go outside to avoid it popping out from the floor... went outside faced it and hit with the axe, then a single "stump! You are dead". I was healthy, hydrated and energized + wearing helmet. Wtf?

That's what i was thinkin about. That, or so damn laggy i hear one shot while it was hittin me since a while. I'll add some detail so you guys can chuckle. I'm extremely careful when movin in towns, that was the first time i've been in the same place for that long. I was still there because i found my first Mosin, and was thinkin about dropping my sks for it. Dead. Respawn near fockin berezino and found 1 mosin after 5 mins of game.. that was funny like a kick in my pants

uhm that silently?

I'm playing since 50+ hours now, so i'll try to give you my impressions, if you care. At first i was astonished with the game concept, and i am still, but now i've started thinking about longevity. And i mean here in alpha, before outstanding features will be added. 1) For me, the very first longevity element was the game itself, the survival experience. I think for everyone who likes this game this is a common phase. 2) Then, i've struggled around for some gear (cheap one mostly, but ive got a sks and thats ok). 3) Then, i've learned the food-blood-health system, and appreciated, and adjusted my playing accordingly While i'm still around to improve my gear, i feel like i already owned the survival challenge in its alpha version. It could take even less time, should i've been less careful. A day will come when i'll be satisfied with my gear too. That being said, i feel like the actual game balancing/layout is strategic, since devs know that keeping people busy involves adding a "pvp zone" (good pvp environment, good spawns, etc.) to create the alternative when you go further these first 3 steps. So i wonder: what's next? Is it there a valid alternative to stepping into sniper activites? Is it there any decent-geared guy whose purpose is other than pvp?

Of course i would too, but there's still a big difference between being careful or suspicious when encountering people, and campering a tower eyes on the scope. Just to be clear: the fact i'm mentioning sniper activites does not mean i want to make another topic about kos etc.

I've met 2 people. Then i laid unconscious. I'm the "friendly" guy too, but the only situation in which i'll talk to anybody would include 1. me pointing a gun on his/her face 2. his/her hands up After this we can have a talk and drink tea.

You mean steam accounts, right? I'm not sure, but i think you can bind one copy of the game to one steam account. So, 2 accounts => 2 purchase

If i hear people talking, should i assume they're somewhere near around me? or they can just be anywhere?

There's a pinned topic in this board with good suggestions. Worked for me.

Is it there something known about how will this thing be developed? I personally feel this "feature" as an issue. Let alone for combat loggers and just think about fair players, what's the point of changing server frequently to check multiple item spawns? Wouldn't this all be better if we could bind 1:1 character and server, so that changing server = changing character? Furthermore in this way most players will bypass the night time (i like it, but that's a pain in the axx) just hopping elsewhere. What you guys think about it?

Thank you. So i've been concerned for valid reasons. ;)

What's the point of this all? ^ that's the answer

Not working for me neither. Equipped, attached the gas thingy and right click "turn on", nothing happens.

+1, headtorch is unusable. If you equip a gun and you are in combat stance, it's now centered on your "white dot" neither (it does though with melee weapons such as fireaxe). Furthermore, lol, if you equip a compass it will stay out of the light, so that you can't see anything.

I was pretty much out of a small town, fresh arrived. I went in and out a building, then *puf*, damn close. I've seen no dirt or dust nearby. Give me your personal 1. chances i was being snipered 2. chances some buddy was shooting his way on its own, somewhere nearby ;)

I'm posting a lot these days, i'm sorry for this, but (noob + loving this game) = lots of questions Am i supposed to hear other players footsteps just like mine? I mean, each step i take it's like an elephant jumping down from a tree. Will i hear that loud sound even when someone is approaching me?

Ive got about 40 hours of game. Ive been dead 3 or 4 times, once i was kos, other times i died against the environment (broken legs, damn rotten fruit, and so on). Ive never engaged another player to actually kill him, ive always ran till now, but now that im geared i will. Anyway, i feel like i will have a dishonorable death while struggling against low fps, lag issues, get stuck between a door and a staircase. Ah, and my noobishness of course. I've lowered any graphic setting till i had an acceptable ui response, i only play servers where ping rate is below 50. Am i the only one out there feeling not to have enough grip and control over my character because of the above mentioned?

Do the combination of these 3 elements affects character someway at this time?

Very nice! How to find server's restart time? We could be using this as a feature, though its for 4h only
