Ok then what's the purpose? As written elsewhere if i'm in grp with friends and you take one of my m8 as hostage i can always give him a new equip if he die so i can't really uderstand the utility of handcuffing someone to something apart bullying, make ppl die slowly (u can easly do it whit a gunshot) or wasting time of other players As i can see actually lot of players hides and logout during the fight to avoid death, or swap servers to get advantage.. do you really think that something like that can work?

i really love machete, when my group is fully equipped usually i swap for it (also beacuse the fireaxe can't be painted yet) so i've used it lot of times, i think it's big enought but the damage it's really ridicoluos, you must hit a Zed lot of times to bring him down, i really think must be more lethal then a kitchen knife something like a small and rare version of the basic axe

i think the purpose of handcuff is just to check the equip of players whitout kill 'em. not to make some kind of bullying gameplay, i suppose you can always logout when you are tied right? So i can't see the utility to waste other people time more then necessary..

The game must be playble for all.. You are a newbye spawned on the coast, get spotted from brigands they catch and tie you to a fence in a city completly clean from zeds.. they go away leaving you there, you can't make another character cause you are still alive, so you can't do anything util the server reset and some zed may spot and kill you.. that maybe need hours.. Wow! that's really funny and very cool. If you can respawn when handcuffed to something will become usless, so the idea it's realistic but unplayble in a game specially for people that have few hours one or two evening a week to play So my vote is: NO

Just give them time, some new building will come like Medical center and police station Min 7:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19ehC8kwoWE#t=421

By the way players are human too and whitout any upgrade to theyr strength from infection can take more than one shoot, so i think Zed that are in some kind of rage may take at last 3 random shoots in the chest before going down. (maybe 2 from 7,62 or 1 from a shot distance .12 gauge or if they add greater calibers like .50) remember also that calibers like 5.56 are designed to penatrate and make serius wounds not to kill whit one shoot, (a wounded soldier can't fight and it's more expansive for a nation then a died one). So i think that the idea to get down a Zed only whit a good placed shoot in the head (or in the heart) it's really good. Actually you can kill a Zed also whit a shoot in an arm or leg -_- Hoping in future to see weapons and ammo more rare and not so many automated rifle will be good try to ration bullets.

I was thinking about the same idea Evry time a Zed will hit you there's a chance that you can become disased in the next minutes. Something like 20% when they hit you the first time and a +10% incrase evry hit you get after the first, so a zed taht will hit you 3 time has 20% + 30% + 40% canche to infect you wiht the virus. After that the disase must have some visual indicator like a green and blurry wiev + vomit and lose of temperature that will bring you very slowly to death, using painkillers, antibiotics and morphyne can slow the infection and/or symptoms but the only useful cure may be reach one hospital where you can do some kind of blood cleanse whit a specific machinery. That will automatically create a sort of time objective for players. Hospital may become strategic like military base and someone may try to defend them. If one of your group get the infection will be really fun run to the near hospital trying to save him and mybe be forced to fight to reach the only thing that can save his life ps. sorry for my bad english :P
