Line dancing zeds, what more reason could there be for a .50 cal machine gun that this??

You should understand that getting shot in the back has nothing to do with me holding a weapon or not.

Damn right, raised weapon does not mean I am looking to shoot your particular ass. It just means I am ready to protect myself. It might even mean I have ammo for this one but no ammo for the one on my back. So sick of being shot in the back by cowards.

Fire axe works one hit on experimental now. If it isn't working on stable it will be. Meantime I just went with fists till the recent patch on exp.

No I haven't seen it anywhere else. I am sure that as towns get added this and other buildings will. There Is a "model" home in some towns that has nothing in it, not even doors. I am sure it will be updated too.

Op seems to have forgotten this is AN ALPHA.

Did you try low crawl? I've had this issue and just avoid logging out in buildings. Sometimes it is unavoidable with no warning server restarts. Keep trying you'll get out, try relogging too, I've found myself outside after that.

It's still there and there are two of those same style houses in that town. Outside there is a connected workshop with open doors that has loot also.

I feel you, usually only happens to me when I have great gear too. Lag dove to death down a stair case in a fire station and after a night of gearing up by sneaking around NWAF with a friggin flashlight too.

I managed to survive 2 encounters and two trips to NWAF. In one on regular I came across a fellow crawling and being attacked by a zed, I killed the zed, he needed some sticks for his broken legs, which I happened to have. I let him know that axes were fixed. I saw him a little later and he was sneaking around with his axe in the ready, I bailed and didn't shoot him. Next was an encounter at NWAF on a hardcore server, I was checking the tents when someone came up on me, we both had pistols at the ready, I kept moving around so he could not get a bead on me, I put my pistol up and asked him to do the same. He didn't fire, but he didn't put up his pistol ether so I bailed. Both toons are now hunkered down for maint.

I was wondering about police stations and clinics, was everyone just closing doors behind themselves? I guess not. Piano house is still decent though. I see that axes got de-nerfed, which is good, but, I think the pitchfork did not, it was a two hit in before .44 and is not a two hit in .45 either. Have not tried the Farmers Hoe yet.

I want that guys sound files..

Actually I am from New England and that sound you are describing as the ocean reminds me more of wind in the pines at night rather than the ocean. I believe that is what it is supposed to be since the terrain and forests remind me of New England it makes sense that the sounds would too. I have never been to Eastern Europe so I am going with what I know. As for the phone idea you have that would be a great way to kick off an adventure quest at some point when there is some content added.

Found a pair in a red brick pub today, on the counter by the sink. They are a little glitchy right now but when the work they work great.

I think that all the telephones on the map should randomly ring 5-6 times twice a day. Give us that "Omega Man" thing.

No such thing as "too much loot" but there is such a thing as "too much greed". When I get greedy at a mil site is usually when I get killed.

If you have a Halloween mask on that is a mark for death in my book, gas mask or respirator I'll give you a chance but the clown/payday thing, no way. Now this one is about what you DON'T wear. If you are running around with no pants and I see you, I will shoot your ass on sight. No questions, no second chances, no more "hey, you have no pants", done with that shit since you are obviously bat shit crazy. The weapon thing not so much, everyone needs to have a weapon, but if I am talking to you and you don't respond either with voice or chat then I will shoot you. Whenever I am in a building I carry a weapon at the ready, anyone who doesn't is just an idiot.

After having made an initial reply to this thread I met someone in Msta, loaned them a can opener and they gave it back. He went his way and I went mine.

Sometimes I wait for server refresh, dump all the gear way up north in a little to no populated area, suicide, respawn and then race back my bambi to see if I can get it all back before the next server refresh. That can be a challenge. Another thing I'll do is see if I can circumnavigate the map w/o being spotted or killed by bandits. Also like to snoop and poop around the mil sites late at night, that can be pretty intense. That's about it for now. Had to add this, I am on a constant "quest for can openers". Those little suckers fascinate the hell out of me.

I've had a few, but more often it's I'll say hey and bang I am dead. I have started asking people if they are psycho. Also, if I say hello and fail to get an answer the assumption is that the person encountered is not friendly, so I will usually bail out of a situation like that unless I can take them down for sure. Another sure sign that I need to fight or flight is if you have no pants on, are babbling about watching UFO's or doing some other crazy shit. If I turn around and someone is fists up, sneaking up behind me, bang, and lately, anyone with a weapon in hand. Anyone wearing a mask gets shot too, not the respirator or gas mask though, just the Halloween masks. I have been shot at and missed quite often, it is nice how most people can't shoot straight, thanks adrenaline.

Yeah, well those damn lag spikes can kill, I lag dove to death a fully kitted toon right down a staircase in a Fire Station and another "fell" to his death off the cat walk in a ware house while reassembling my freshly painted M4.

Rather than spawn with a mag, mags should be just a little a bit more wide spread. By that I mean, not just spawned at military and police sites. Same for loose and boxed 5.56mm, it's really hard to find. But no mags should spawn with an M4 or M1911 or any other pistol UNLESS IT IS EMPTY OR HAS NO MORE THAN ONE ROUND IN IT, never a full mag. I say this because finding loose and boxed .45 or .22 is pretty easy. On a side note after 314 hours of play I have yet to find a magazine for a 9mm pistol.

Here's the thing with that, there is a good chance you will ruin bunch of stuff, and, usually, that means the most useful stuff. I believe also that it is a violation of TOS to put limits like that on your server. Besides, there is no way anyone paying for an SA server can really control any of that anyway atm. Can't kick or ban anyone at this point.

Yes BUT, make them the old style really freaking LOUD kind you can hear for a long way off.. I had one in RL once and the scout platoon I was with freaked out and made me turn it off it was so loud. That was back in 1991. If zeds are infected and not the living dead then they should also be seen, if the zeds are the living dead, then they should blend in with the ambient temperature. I think what would be hard here is the heat loss rates of differing environmentals, on one hand at EENT it would be harder to use thermals since most everything is still losing heat from the sun there is some variation of course but it's gonna look pretty white out there. On the other hand by about BMNT most everything that is not living is about the same temperature ( grass, trees, dirt, rocks, buildings and such like) unless there is some other heat source (someone cooking or a fire in a fireplace). The colder it gets, the easier it is to see and distinguish bodies, engines, fires, etc. Imagine thermals on a helicopter, that would be bad for people without helicopters. I think I'd rather have a laser rangefinder, like this.
