Nope definitely zombies. Its happened to often in our group and on empty servers.

yup it's happened to me and 4 friends i know. It's pretty annoying but i guess it keeps Zs dangerous. it could be due to not noticing ruined gear. I feel there should be some indicator on the paperdolls for that anyway regardless.

I agree this is the element that drew me in and I hope this game is punishing.

Dont play on servers abusive admins? and 1 restart every 4 to 8 hours isn't a huge deal. It could also (as has already been said in other posts) destinctly tell the difference much like the respawn time does. But other than that yep i think we should be punished a little more. Depending on how hunting/farming is, this could be become worse as there is more ways to find food. I understand that there will be a drop off in found goods. Thats good to hear. However once you are healthy - you just dont need to eat much at all. There needs to be a food sink to make players value food more. It's not so much a survival game as it stands.

Yes there is always downsides. The server restarts arent and issue as it's not often and can be taken in the same vein as your character slept. Disconnects are another issue and yes that would be a problem. However even in alpha i've not dc'd more than twice in all my play time.

Hello there, I'm new about the forum and i've owned the alpha for about a week with 40 hours logged, i've played alone and with a group of up to 5 people. while alpha is alpha - bugs and issues are still bothersome, there is a few out laying problems in game mechanics that i've seen which could be better address. I really like the hunger/thirst/blood/shock system, BUT. after the initial start of the game and figuring out the system. You can pretty much ignore this system. You will never be in danger from hunger or thirst killing you. ever... and that there is a fundamental problem. This is why people are getting to end play or say they are, cuz i got my m4 and a billion beans. Going about in a group is easily too rewarded too where there should be a point when you just can't sustain a groups needs on what you find. There is a simple and elegant solution and has a positive side effect too. when you log in your energy and water levels take a big hit as if you have been sleeping and need to refuel. So first order of the day would be to eat. This would also punish server hopping some too as if they log off and on they would need to eat more and more. bottom line - this is a survival game and it's too easy to do that. I want to be punished more!
