I have no idea how to pronounce that - and this seems ridiculously silly. Count me in. :)

OP - thanks for the feedback. We seem to be a bit riled up these days - but glad to hear you like the latest build. I'm a fan myself - directionally correct!

Still haven't found the book - but still looking. I've covered about 1/2 the towns thus far, west side.

Actually not certain here - I know arm pain affects aim, not sure about legs...

No, can affect your aim though.

In pain, pain killers or suck it up man!

I can't clear the first level. Way too hard to level up... Cooking items aren't enabled as of yet - hopefully next patch. Duct tape is useless as well. Don't think pliers have a use at this point either.

Unfortunately, shits and giggles is enough at the moment. Fixes of zed logic and more of them - in that order - and it becomes a smaller component in the sandbox I think.

I've read since my post that hands up they can catch you. I always run hands down - and never had this issue. They follow you a lot longer for certain, and if you run through an area with more of them, it starts all over. I still think its manageable though - but gone are the days when you didn't consider them. And to that point, I say, about time. Just need to fix all the items already mentioned next...

OP - think it's a cool idea, going to be tough to organize though with people being invested in their current characters. I think getting a 'sign up' list and organizing in advance will be helpful. If you did it far enough in advance, you'll find enough takers I'm certain. Count me as interested if you can get enough people gathered up to do it in the future.

To be clear, I'm completely opposed to any form of icons above players in game. Period, no thanks. I'm referring to a way to link up in game, via menu, not in open view on the screen. Friendly fire is an important aspect of this game - don't need any cheat way of identifying each player and their location in game.

someone should live stream these - I can't participate now, but would love to watch on Twitch! Thanks for organizing this!

I voted no at this point. I think its lowest priority - plenty of ways to get sync'd up at this point outside of taking developers eyes off of other valuable items. I'm not saying its a terrible idea in late beta, I'd be open to exploring it, just not anywhere close a priority now.

I haven't noticed this as of yet, but have been away from the east for a while on this character. Plenty of food in the west - rice, canned goods, you name it. Might have to work my way down the east coast a bit as I'm currently logged near NEAF. I have noticed some very funny mechanics as it relates to finding a mosin since the last patch - as in, GOOD LUCK! :)

I actually experienced this one today at the NEAF behind the hangers. I was running through the fence and behind the little hill there. One zed ran down the hill, I looked over my shoulder and he fell over and 'died'. Freaked me out for a couple minutes as I thought someone had shot him and I just hadn't heard the shot. Figured out later it was something else as I worked my way through without a player in sight. Very strange...

It is this kind of stuff that results in the responses you get. Why go 'attack the full community in nonsensical rant' off of a response. If you can't handle these kinds of responses without insulting the community at large, you are too immature for the response others were going to give. (Like me)

I'm all for more towns and stuff up North where all the empty hard surface are is populated.

Persistent storage is all that's needed. I'm not a fan of making anything completely safe, but being able to hide it somewhere would be really game changing. Base building / tents goes hand in hand here as well. It will give a person a reason to look everywhere - for a nice stash, and a good place to hide your own.

While not a fan of how it was stated, I agree - we need realism in the M4's accuracy. It's largely ignored by me now as having to dump way too many rounds at an individual for a kill makes mag capacity pointless. More stealth and realism is the ticket for me.

Scopes, yes, weapons no. I do 'empty' M4 magazines periodically.

People voting for 5 mins should got to the game that has them 'never' - pick up any copy of Arma and enjoy a pure PvP experience. It includes more bang for you PvP tastes and you dont have to be troubled with Zeds period. I honestly think a lot of people are just playing the wrong game when they don't want to be 'troubled' by Zeds...

Current respawn is fine - needs other work in where they spawn, pathfinding/physics correction, how they agro (allowing more stealth options),LOS tweaks, and then MORE please. They way it is works better than before - as they are now actually part of the game - it just needs to be enhanced, which is on the developers radar obviously. Drop that second primary and join the game that actually now has some zombie related tension. (Not perfect, but anyone expecting that at this point needs to be alpha'd)

Unfortunate part of the game at this stage. Now you get to have fun finding all the goodies again.

I'm guessing you are carrying a second primary. If so, then agree. If not, then that's only true for about 3 seconds. After that first leap, you can outrun the fastest of them. This patch is definitely requiring people to consider that second primary...

The no attachments in the first was my only reason not choosing the FNX. I've had horrible luck with the Blaze - both times I've used it, I've been killed with it after shooting both barrels. I'm certain it was likely 'me' but can't muster picking it up since. Magnum is my second choice given ammo availability, capacity, and damage dealt. Shotgun a close second. Favorite sidearm is the FNX once I get a mag or two - perfect for the Mosin as primary, which was my other choice. The M4 is just too innacurate for me - and I like using the LRS to 'avoid' confrontation as much as possible in the first place. Don't have enough experience with the Amphibia as I've never found a magazine for it. The Sporter is a good way to get killed by both zeds and people at this point in development. Needs an optic, better damage, and some benfits in the noise factor with the zeds. Just too underpowered given the tradeoffs.
