What kind of medic doesn't carry a crap ton of bandages!? Yeah I'm sure this is placeholder mechanics, possibly even unintended, but its still fairly easy to simply not let them hit you. Even three or four at a time is manageable with a fireaxe without getting hit.

Server admin trolling. 'I have a strange pulse, I feel strange, etc'

Needs more painted weaponskis. Also ya need a hunter's backpack, how do you expect to hide with that big ass thing? I'd post my gear but I did in a thread that was created earlier just like this

Next time use your axe from the start. They'll die much faster, and you don't have to worry about actually being 'defenseless' while reloading.

I'd like to get involved with something like this! I could donate some of the food I've been hoarding and a few medical supplies that are useless to me. Also wtt for a pristine press vest and UN helmet, willing to part with a sawed off +ammo and snap loaders, protector cases etc

After my first ten hours playing, I determined the first two things were 'what to do' since I kept getting killed by KoSers before finding a weapon even. If a player assumes #3 is 'what to do', it probably has something to do with my reasoning for doing 1 and 2. Of course, after I learned server hopping was looked down upon I stopped doing it. Generally. Okay, I did for about an hour earlier trying to find a black can of spraypaint to see if I could make my fireaxe camo like my mosin. Found one finally, and I could not. -_-

Ammo, food, melee weapons and rarely guns. I've seen all guns aside from M4s spawn there. There are several other rather common residential buildings that are worth your time since the latest patch though (and many before that), not just these. Piano houses are in most major towns I think.

I disagree. Zombies should spawn out of sight. The more noise you make, more should come running from the forests, fields etc if there are no players to see them spawn. It just seems natural that loud gun shots that can be heard forever away should draw more and more, even if you *think* you cleared out a town.

Affirmative. 014, 033 I went back to double check. Seems there is also a new junk yard and a big metal building with garages directly to the east of it as well.

It's very easy to circle strafe and not get hit, even with multiple on you (provided you don't lag). Pristine chest attachments are a must I would imagine because in the patch notes it said zeds now aim for the chest rather than the head most of the time. On topic, no, this doesn't make looting players a better option. If you would actually *rob* them without killing and ruining all their gear, I'd say it would increase legitimate banditry if KoS wasn't so ingrained in the communities mentality...

Ahh this opens my eyes. Thanks for the link, it was very informative. Glad I didn't throw down my assault vest for a damaged press vest now!

Well, axes were once military weapons too, if you go by that logic. I haven't heard of anyone calling for straight out removal of military grade weapons, but I think they should be extremely rare, especially if we get light machine guns and the like. It seems silly for there to be so many M4s and such just lying around when you can tell the whole map has pretty much been looted a thousand times since the apocalypse started. I mean, cars are rusted hunks and houses are mostly barren, how could a military grade gun go unnoticed for so long?

Is it the same for the press vest too?

Because I'm there. http://bln.gs/b/27x0en

I don't need to know how to shoot because I stay out of fights. But I do, spent the past few hours practicing actually, sniping from a hilltop the furthest possible distances and third person handguning on the new zeds. Of course, I'd probably still panic if I saw another player, but that's why I walk with a sawed off up when I breach doors and hallways, and always watch my back. Do you? ;P

Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I'm geared and I'll stay geared because of people like you. You think I'll risk myself scrounging around for petty loot where PKers stay around? Nah, I'll be up north, grabbing all I can just before and after server reset and watching the horizon for any other mother fornicator that dares step into my lands. Do you even deranged mountain man bro?

Crapola. Logged in to take a pic of my current char, took two steps and finally found a freakin' pressvest! Here's what I looked like before: the vest is in badly damaged condition, while the assault vest is pristine, is it worth the trade off still? It'd be nice to be able to take a few hits, or did they patch assault vests so they are kind of bullet proof too? If you know don't hesitate to respond, I'm hovering over the area where I dropped my old assault vest still xP Edit: my third hardcore char I was able to survive the first 30 mins with, been playing on it since I bought the game a few weeks ago. No player kills on it, though I've exchanged fire a few times with other survivors that have attacked me first. Edit2:... why does everyone else' text in your health badges look so small? Or rather, why does mine look so big.?

The mechanics don't work like that. Yet. Just by that first shot, you'd have aggro of all zeds within 200m (not approximate). By running away, you'd aggro even more with the sound of your running. You wouldn't have time to bandage if you got hit once before a zed spawns on you. You're not safe in a town, or even on the outskirts as zeds spawn in fields near towns now too. Have you even been playing recently?

Trusty buckshot to aggro all the zeds in the area you mean? And have them respawn on your face? Zeds will always go after the loudest player, so one lying on the ground would be safe until you died. Shooting them would cause even more to spawn, running would too...

Good, you'll be the visible one then and the one the zeds go after. Trust me, some psycho tried to shoot at me the other day in experimental. I ran and even aggroed some zeds. You know what happened? Even though I aggroed them first, they went after the guy that was shooting at me. Lets just say I still heard shots going off well after I made a safe getaway into the forest.

There's your problem. Guns awaken the horde. Though, if you're far away enough it won't aggro any. Like, farthest possible range with LSR'd mosin. Tested out my sniping skills earlier from the outskirts of Lopatino. Think though, in a real zombie apocalypse on an island that had thousands of inhabitants, firing a gun would be a death sentence.

Exactly! You report the bug, and continue playing or not until it's fixed. Not bitch and moan and say 'lolz u'll get a lot of players like that loll'. On topic, zombies! Yeah, them zombies. Love em.

Try logging out then in, and before the building fully spawns try sprinting/vaulting through the 'walls' that have yet to spawn.

You're right. Also they'd never be able to release any patches at all ever because people will cry about broken things in an alpha like you and a few others are. I don't have any problems with invis zeds. If I hear them and don't see them, you know what I do? Run, swing the axe a few times randomly and kill them. Work within the parameters given if you want to enjoy the game while testing. You are testing this game. Say it with me.

LOL. People were screaming and mewling for updates even if they were bork, now look at this. Devs can't win.
