That graph doesn't necessarily correspond to the last patch. There was a drop in number prior to the patch and then more recently another drop. So, what caused that drop? Vehicles? LOL

I said it before, I am a casual player with limited time to play. Was able to survive and even thrive WITHOUT server hopping before the loot being reverted back. To give you a sense of how much I play. I have yet to see a crash heli. Admittedly, I don't get on much anymore as I was bored with the standard get geared and PVP. That's not my thing. For those of you who want this game to be just that. Well, as others have stated, there are plenty of games out there that offer that. Heck, I play several of them. Also, to those that say that the loot system was killing the game and the majority of the players did not want it. Where do you have proof? The others that you game with don't count since you tend to group with like minded people. That isn't a fair assumption. There are things that need to be fixed with the loot, thinking of the outhouses here, but, I liked the fact that you had to actually look everywhere for what you wanted/needed. If you are moving and scavenging like that, it makes the game more dangerous and difficult all over the place....not just the "hotspots." I, for one, am looking forward to loot, food, weapons, and ammo, being scarce once again. To those that are looking for a purely load up and PVP experience, I'm sure that there will be a mod for that down the road. Ah well, got to love the bumps in the road with a game in development. LOL

You're a little late on the in b4 "insert game here' I think some have already alluded to that. Perhaps I have been lucky to come across all of this. I have to admit that I'm still kicking myself in the bum for leaving a pick on a body of some moron tried to attack me with. Rifle > pick...even a .22. LOL Anyway, I understand to some extent the upset but overall, it's not a killer. It seems that people became to used to the loot fest that has been going on forever. Yeah, it's not easy to find everything, but, if you are cautious and a little patient, you'll survive and find everything. Like I said, I'm still looking for a few things, have survived well enough and have yet to pick an apple or a berry. I did risk drinking some untreated water once, but, the gamble seems to have paid off. Do some actually believe that you need the miitary gear to play? I haven't found any military rifles yet, but, that's no my main goal. If that is a make or break for them. Yes, perhaps, this is not the correct game for them. It's not an absolute need.

Not sure what all of the complaining is about. I'm not an elite player and have limited gaming time due to work and family. I thought I'd give the new build a try after reading so many complaints about it. Well, I have a fairly well geared character, still looking for a pot to cook meat with and have survived. I did come close to dying due to thirst a couple of times and hunger once. I have yet to pick apples or berries. I found some canned goods and such to keep me going while in search of what I need in order to cook. I guess what I'm saying is I just don't get all of the whining and complaining. Yes, it's more difficult, not impossible. Also, I know it is said often, but, this is still in alpha. There is no game breaking feature as it is being developed. If you are frustrated or upset about the current build. Take a break, come back after an update or two.

Great comics! Keep it up! :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: for you!

I'm not in agreement with any kind of combat perk. Perhaps something more along the lines of being able to keep your weapon working correctly. Speed and successful use of a gun cleaning kit. While many people can successfully pick up a firearm and hit a target down range, it's a completely different story on breaking that weapon down and cleaning it affectively. Maybe something along the line of that for gradual improvement from practice/use.

I don't really mind whatever kind of vehicle is put in as long as it consumes fuel, Starts of low to very low on fuel, if not empty. Finally, have fuel be a rare commodity. It would be better if the different types of vehicles used the type of fuel that they use IRL. Make the more powerful vehicles/weapon platforms harder to keep fueled. That would help mitigate some of the "zerging" of areas. People wouldn't not be able to troll areas to no end if their fuel is always at risk of running out. Would also set up some interesting interactions where one group may raid another just for their fuel or perhaps different options such as trading for the fuel.

I was thinking of the noise you make when you move. What if you could use the duct tape to tape some of the gear? It was a common practice for us in the Army to tape the straps and such to help minimize the sound that we made as we moved.
