As long as we can craft it into hidden suicide vests, I support this.

Complains to people about taking video games too seriously. Compares experience in video games to 'real poverty' and 'war in the streets' Goddamn LOL. I bet you've never been hungry a single day in your life. I bet you've never had to gut and clean a squirrel just to eat meat for that week irl. Come on bro. Edit: On topic, this game makes me very emotional. I can't explain it, I am one paranoid sumbitch now after my first few encounters. I wouldn't shout slurs into voip if I had it, no, but other players being dicks kinda makes me feel sad. Also no one will talk to me in text chat! No one at all! :(

Ah. I just meant that it is far easier and safer to be hostile and sneaky if you don't want to die often, or so the community has decided for now. Eventually I hope they add a party or team system that would add some incentive to teaming up. You may have a totally different experience from me though, such is the randomness of people.

As for target practice, zeds are your safest bet unless you just want to jump right into some airstrip pvp. Having only played for a little over a week now myself, it seems like 'rules' are pretty much don't carry a gun unless you want to be killed on sight, and 50% of the time if you're not you'll be killed anyways. Really need to go in with people you met outside of the game, its just not designed to meet up with other people and become friends with them in game.

Knows its alpha. Apparently has read disclaimers... Not sure if trolling or over entitled. EDIT: You SURE. Like Absolutely 100% positive... that you didn't just logout in front of another player and they ganked you? Or try to log in a hardcore server when your char is on a regular server (or vice versa)? Because I've been playing for over 70 hours now and haven't had that happen, other than some items disappearing. Edit; urf posting ina necro'd thread. :rolleyes:

I've starved several times doing this, only survived once when I found a pull-tab can of tuna in an already looted house :'D (starved later though). Sure you'd get lucky and find one house in a town with a soda someone could't carry, but on an actual *full* server, its picked clean, even the remote little hamlets with no name. I know where to look for stuff, but you just can't survive on a full server alone unless you just get lucky. I mean, a single player can literally eat an entire town's food supply just to get energized status. Def need a bit of loot distribution to the lootless buildings, if those damn feed shacks had stuff like the map says they do this wouldn't be a problem I bet.

That's more than what I have access to, at varying times of day I have 0-2 up. Sucks because exp is really all I have interest in playing after first trying it out :(

Nothing you can do other than team up with someone (lol) or knock out a geared player (boo). Or watch server populations and try to be the first one on, you know, late at night or early in the day. Then panic like crazy running around like its a free supermarket shopping spree before you head off to where ever.

Rather than adding an obvious way to see who is who, I'd much rather a system that just punishes consecutive killing on sight. One player killed by your hands adds a 'scent of death' that attracts a horde of 10 zeds, another PK within 30 mins of that brings 15-20 stronger zeds and so on. Now that would spice up large scale PvP! Skins seem a bit silly when we have so much customization with different clothes too.

A certain off the road spot? With quite a few loot spots in a low traffic area far *redacted* of a certain military loot spot? I think I know what you're talking about. Haven't found scopes there yet, every other mod drops like crazy though. Just figured out how rich those inconspicuous buildings can be in loot from that spot.

I like! So many deer stands/deer feeder traps it makes sense for there to be a hunting lodge around. I'd like to see more stuff in the woods in general, especially up north where there is nothing but lootless feed huts and rocks. Edit: I want to go to where the first one is, looks amazing.

I shot someone yesterday who sprayed me as I was casing an airfield. Sprinted back to a tree line and waited, sure enough the guy was running his own way trying to get the hell out of there. I sprinted up to him and unloaded two combined m4 mags for taking potshots at me, didn't bother to check his corpse, or the airfield. My first player kill. I know the guy was probably just trying to get away, but I just couldn't let that slide.

RESOLVED: No robbery apparently, only glitchies! I feel less violated now. First, some images. Before logging in: After logging in: I had logged out in a pine tree far away from a town (and the coast), and yet still, someone managed to come across my helpless character before the timer went off and rob them of their shoes, gloves, backpack with supplies, etc. Pretty much whatever they could grab before my char logged. I had a sawn off I had just made in that backpack, as well as some cereal I had just found (had only been playing on this spawn for a little over an hour). I would prefer if I had came back to a restarted char, but no, the rotten whoreson that robbed me was smart and knew not to kill me so as not to ruin anything. Does everyone else think this kind of thing is okay? I mean, should we really be forced to run forever to outside the map or some crap just to be able to logout safely? The timer itself seems like its just to cater to the KoS brats so they can corner people who would rather avoid other players, as ghosting and the like could easily be combated through long ass server waits if you try to jump. Help me understand why this is okay. EDIT: Yes yes, I know the shirt is probably what got me, but its all I could find :'( EDIt2L: If you're the guy that robbed me, bravo. I hate you ;-;. And if you're the same guy I helped hours earlier by killing a zombie when you had a gun and no ammo and no melee weapon, SHAME! SHAME ON YOU! Thanks for leaving me my pristine awesomepants, but I bet you woulda taken it anyway if you had the time you thief!

Was this before the timer was implemented? This explains everything then. I figured you could just walk up to a person and loot them. Good to know the mysterious robber guy was only in my head! :beans: Why wouldn't someone else tell me you have to be under special conditions to be looted instead of telling me to deal!?

Because its nice to feel like you're progressing, transient as it is. And about not necroing other threads that have nothing in common with this one other than the fact that it said 'logout timer' in the tags? yeah. F that. I really was in a secure location, I just didn't have someone watching my back I guess. Other than the guy who got me. I can understand getting got while afk, but logging out in a pine tree in the middle of the wilderness is not a 'more secure location' in this game? Crapola.

Or server hopping. Or ghosting. Its within design parameters, why not?

I would've rather ended up dead rather than gear up a pos thief, just got a bit lucky as a fresh spawn and found quite a few guns but no ammo and various other gear at Rify. Nothing to get upset over other than the fact that this is a thing. By safe zone I pretty much mean a portable tent, something that is specifically for logging out quickly in (and with some kind of restrictions so you can't combat log with it), not necessarily a player hub or anything. Also how can I play the game when I'll just get robbed/killed when I log off, totally helpless to combat it? I guess server hopping low pop servers to gear up until they fix that? Its the same concept as robbing logged out players. As much as I hate it, I understand KoS and robbing. This just is bad design that caters to neandertals that get a kick out of KoS, and smart little guys like the person who robbed me. Are they more rare in experimental? Found it in the top floor of a piano house I believe, don't know if they dropped there in stable.

Gear attachment? lol. Did you not read where I said I'd rather come back to a restarted char? I just think the 30 seconds of a char being in game after logout is just awful, especially without anything like safe zones.

It all comes down to personal preference I guess. A few 60 round combined mags should do the trick if you go that route. Personally though, I like having all my bases covered. I carry a fully modded mosin, fnx, and sawed off, still have plenty of room for other supplies using protector cases and the like, though I imagine I'd give up the sawed off if I wasn't playing solo so I could carry a defib and whatnot.

I'm sure they do that because they were crappy KoSers that finally got theirs anyways and know that if they get lucky and deck you a good one they can start off fat and happy.

Is that against ToS or something? I'd love a private server after my third death to starvation on fully populated servers during primetime.

I haven't experienced this yet. Are you sure you haven't just clicked on a hardcore server when your geared char is on a regular server (or vice versa)? Edit: or log out in a high traffic area. Your char stays in game for 30 secs after you log out so you may be getting killed by other players/random zombie. If its none of those I'd say its alpha and this pretty much is to be expected. Worried about my char now, oh well... :x

Ha, just experienced this after getting my first mosin/scope/bipod, was trying to test it out on a zed on the NE airbase and wasted so many rounds, even when firing from an elevation while prone.

Act like a bitch, die like one. Here's hoping you live up to your word. But in the end, i guess its much more fun playing friendly like that... I wish more people would see it like that. Skulking around and KoS so I won't be KoS really kind of sucks. I want to be robbed! I want to be kidnapped and forced to fight to the death with a naked guy, something.

I was on the outskirts of Balota and was continually swarmed one after another just using a fireaxe. Would go to bandage myself and another one would spawn on me before it was done. Was it the bandage noise causing that or being out in the open?
