Confirmed? By whom? You can't "confirm" your own kills, this is not how it works. I call BS.

Ever wonder what percentage of the 2 million are psychopathic KoSers?

Damn right, there is a really good chance, in this game anyway, that he would have done the same to you AND had no guilt about it at all.

Would be quite handy for zapping campers on top of Air Control Towers. Make then craftable rather than findable

Just for atmosphere. Radios in houses should be functional and when turned on should be broadcasting automated messages from EMERCOM randomly. EMERCOM is the Russian version of Civil Defense. Messages could be broadcast in multiple languages, such as English, Russian, French and German. Also, EMERCOM Troop gear should be easy to find, I imagine they would have been deployed in droves to Cherno in the early days of crisis. Rigid Airships.

So with the axe and other melee weapons currently nerfed here are some no brainer things folks can do to avoid zeds. It is pretty simple, they don't run all that fast and they run in straight lines. Take advantage of this. You need to run in a serpentine fashion, do not run up hill, you can run in circles occasionally too but have a good reason for doing that. 1. If you are on the coast and near docks just run around the docks and place water between you and the zed, it will fall off the dock chasing you. Sometimes they die if they fall far enough and sometimes they just walk around underwater, making them true zombies because even infected humans still have to breathe. Same goes for zeds that spawn on a roof or on a high place (haven't seen them do that much but I have seen it). Just agro them and they will fall to their death chasing you. 2. Get them to chase you down hill, they will try to do the zed leap, when they miss they die. 3. If they clip through the walls of a building or a stair case you can still use the axe and do serious damage to them, sometimes even one hit them in the head. Stay above them on the stairs and swing away till you connect with zed flesh. Exploit? Maybe, but till they get fixed from doing those things no harm in taking advantage of it I say. There you have it some very easy things that an unequipped or even fully equipped toon can do.

The axe nerf in the current build is actually a bug, when .45 gets published it will go away, however, this appears to only affect the axe, the pitchfork and hoe were still nerfed in .45, at least as far as I can tell, experimental is down right now so I can't tell for sure. When it comes back up I suspect it'll be .46 by then.

I've run upstairs in tech buildings and had them attack me through the ceiling and break my legs. Yeah, get OUTSIDE. That was at NEAF and it sucked hard.

Yes I pay for it and I do too.

Look in the police cars at police buildings too, open the doors and trunks, look inside all vehicles for that matter. I have found food, magazines and weapons in trunks, bed of pickups and right in the open on the hood of a car even.

I have found magnums before finding rifles, not often but it does happen. If I do find a rifle and I have no ammo for it I tend to not carry it.

I could have sworn there were some street lights still working.

We do get moon rise in game now., usually around 2am or so, but it sets pretty fast. The transition to dawn is a bit fast though.

Once we get moonrise, if it isn't storming, night is ok. Ambient light is pretty good then. Pitch black is when I hunker down, no use stumbling around in the dark agroing zeds. Judicious use of your flashlight is something to get used to. I would like a red filter though, that would be handy.

This ain't China, we ain't all in the same time zone. If you have not noticed the night cycle is longer than the day cycle. I like night too but to be honest most would hunker down at night anyway.

Get some sticks (not the ash stick) add a bandage and you get a splint. Sticks are way easier to find than morphine.

I would love to but it appears experimental is down right now, so I am switching back to the current build.

With the introductions of Binos I have become even more paranoid than ever. Reminds me of night diving, I have never seen a tiger shark at night, but that does not mean they haven't seen me.

Yeah, not too far from there. Don't want to be more exact than that if you know what I mean.

You can still get them to chase you down hill where they will jump at you and die when they miss. Or, if you are on the coast lead them towards a dock at an angle, they run straight at you and will run right off a dock into the water (I've done this with whole groups of zeds on my tail, it's hilarious).. Lots of ways around zeds without actually having to fight them. Know your enemy guys.

Again, I think you are NOT getting me. Armed or NOT I have been getting shot in the back by cowards. If you shoot someone in the back, you are a coward, plain and simple, like it or not.

The hell it ain't, screw you

Now hear this, Aloha is For Tourists, which I own, does NOT do this, I will randomly restart the server only when I have not been playing, just to discourage hopping and to change the time of day from time to time., usually I play on experimental anyway.

Just so you know, axe got fixed on experimental, don't know how they will take to roll that out, in the meantime I used fists or just shot them outright. As of now they won't randomly insta-re-spawn near you on death thus giving you time to make like a French soldier in May 1940.

It'll be fixed, not sure why they let that go, in .45 on experimental they fixed it. But, yes, you are better off punching or even shooting them since they don't immediately respawn anymore.
