Close proximity, line of sight, friendly recognition. No icons halfway across the map. I say within 50 meters and shows only with clear line of sight. And it be a small indicator. Nothing outlining them but maybe like a little red arm band appears or something just an example really could be anything... but something small. That will make it so if your group is in combat you could very well miss the arm band and shoot your mate.

So how will Modding work? Only experience I have had was skyrim so It didn't have the mmo aspect. Do u just mod your server and when I play on that server the mods are present for all? Different game types and such?

ah ok got yah.. was a little mislead by the title. yeah bikes would be the shit... actually anything other than running all over this massive map would be awesome lol

im not really saying that its pvp deathmatch, take no prisoners, kos, and everything else. im saying it is pvp but you have many ways to go about it. i just got done playing hardcore today for a few hours... loved it. was on a full 40 person server and most of the interactions werent kos. did i get killed? yes. did i meet some people who just wanted to team up? yes. did i get betrayed? yes. but no matter the situation it all comes down to pvp. i have met some cool people in this game so far a lot more bandits, kos people i think will get bored and stop playing eventually or get bored enough to RP and try to actually rob someone or something... whatever floats your boat. if you are playing to get geared up and are so scared to lose your gear that you take to the hills and hide from others than what is the point of the game? if this was a survival simulator with no intent of pvp then why make it an MMO. i used to be the same trust me. get geared up, hide in the woods and all that. now i run up to people because i dont care if i die and see what happens. today i ran into a new spawn, he tried to lie and say his friends were outside and tried to take my stuff. hit him in the head like 6 times with a machete. he knocked me unconcious a few times lol but i ultimately won and got my stuff back. ran into him again and he tried again same result. then got capped by some random dude that kos... totally ruind what had just went down for the last 10 min between me and this other guy. after i respawn was running down the street and a bambi was following me. ran into town and seen a dead body, looked to my right and there was an armed guy in the street who was at another dead body going through his stuff. ran up and knocked him out with my fists and ran him for all his gear. the bambi seen this then tried to knock me out and take the stuff off of me so i knocked him out. after they both lay there unconcious i ran to elecktro. ran into the city seen more dead people so i ran into the hospital and seen a guy sniping people so i ran up behind him and knocked him out with my fists and now am fully kitted with a mosin maxed out with attachments a fire ax, the works. the absolute most fun i have had playing this game so far. im not going to knock people who want to just "survive" but i have found that interacting with others is essential to the survival of this game. without it everyone will just stop playing and it will always just be an alpha.

your post talks about helis and i was talking to the people who were discussing it... anyway i think they have already talked about putting bikes and other vehicles into the game soon. me personally i would love to use a bike, trucks and things will bring too much attention to yourself.

yeah thats what i was trying to get at. im still pretty new never having played the mod and having about 80 hrs in the SA. i too kinda thought there was more than just pvp at first. now i see that no matter what they do or add in this game that will always be the most important dynamic ultimately. now can they add things that make it more likely for people to trust eachother and try to work together more sure. will interactions with other players always the be most fun thing in this game to do ... sure. but without bandits there can be no heros and vice versa. you need both to make this game work. the KOS people are what they need to work on fixing

maybe they can enter in a dynamic that if the add helis you will die trying to fly them unless you find all the rare books to increase your knowlege on flying them. right now they have books that have pretty much no reason for being there. you must find all the books on how to fly to teach your in game character or you wont be able to fly them.

So i was sitting there thinking what next? i am geared pretty much have everything that i need and almost all that i want. i can easily survive now, gotten really good with the fire axe to the head of zeds, dont even really keep food on me because i can always just go get some really quick and eat it then. The reason i see this as a pvp game that is just a little more involved comes from the core of every movie or show with zombies... the intrigue of the human dynamic in it. look at the walking dead for ex. we spend all season watching them run around talking to eachother searching for others and a means to survive. ultimately though we want to see what happens with the other bad guys most recently terminus. the zombies are cool but i ultimately think that the whole facination with the zombie appocolypse is not really the zombies but the fact that it is a pure lawless state and who you are decides your actions. there is no law there is no jury... there are just survivors who make choices every day that decided if another human is safe or is dead. if the walking dead only featured a group of survivors that only killed zombies and never had danger from other humans it would have lasted MAYBE 2 seasons. so the only thing you have to decided when playing this game is do you die a hero? or live long enough to see yourself become the villain?

When I first got the game I hot the same message. Didn't know what I was doing and joined a night server. Couldn't see much so I jumped from that server to another one which was hard core so I jumped again to a regular day time server. I was banned by all servers in Chicago apparently for it. Which doesn't really matter but is shitty because I've never been banned by a game for anything before and two I got banned because I was a Noob who didn't know any better and was jumping servers trying to find the one I wanted. The only thing I can say brother is fuckm plenty of other servers

Intense !!!##

Not doing it right then... even with the zombies now the only time I have issues is when they glitch. I am a Noob and I guess technically been killed by a zombie once ( bleeding out zed ruined my bandages and ran around forever trying to find some before falling unconscious) I beat them all day with my fists. I was unaware of how they played the story out about a virus instead of the whole undead thing. But I would think that if they were able to figure out a risk vs reward dynamic like that it would be right there along with the rest of the game. Everything really is risk vs reward. It would also make people think twice about killing for no reason and people committing suicide because they don't like the spawn point. There are so many positives. Not to mention the larger cities where people kill others a lot would be causing themselves a zed problem. It is the best way to balance ... well everything

Lol that would be awesome. If u wanted to snipe someone for loot you better haul Ass lol

So I think I have come up with a solution to how zombies spawn with and a punishment for killing other players as it were. Every time a player is killed a zombie takes his place. There will still be a decent amount of zombies and random spawns but the more killing of players in an area means more zombies in that area.

Lmao killing your own kind my friend lol

I didn't even know about the military barracks in the woods to the south west until I seen a video of it. I always just stopped at the airfield and tent city across the street and no farther west. I'll have to check that out
