I joined "Cool Server - Vilayer" spawned checked the server list and there were 4 members of some clan. I ran about 10 feet through some trees and was kicked. I waited about 90 seconds and tried to join another server I play on quite a bit with about 10 players online, turns out my character was dead. So either they saw me zone in kicked me and killed me. Or you can lose your character when kicked... Either way f those guys.

Found about 9 Aug's no M4's or UMP.

Getting out of a V3S the first thing I do is lay down in the grass/trees where I stop and try to pull my gun out. 20 seconds pass and the gun still won't come out so I get up and can't get into the v3s so I run to a nearby shed and I'm able to loot but still can't pull out my gun. Then I hear a hail a bullets miss effects and "you are dead". Who knows to the other guy maybe I was dead before I left the truck... That would have been better.

The worst is when it drops it on the ground and it vanishes. What's stupid is if you went to put something in a bag in real life, if it doesn't fit you're still holding it. If they don't want to reserve space when you draw your weapon they should at least prevent the item from being dropped. I also don't like the new bag system. You can't organize them into a proper order without dropping them on the ground and risking them vanishing. If they don't want to keep the old order for items they should let you move them around in the inventory screen.

I always put my most valuable items in the jacket. If I'm going to die, you're getting cans of beans from my backpack not an ACOG. It's very rare with full auto weapons that you live through getting shot in the chest.

.55 is the worst patch so far. I've played about 16 hours on it so far and I'm done until the next patch. - Loot is crazy buggered on persistent and non persistent servers. - I got one shot killed by a zombie when I had full health and a biker helmet on. My character was pretty fresh as well having maybe taken 5-6 hits in total over a couple hours. - Zombies stand outside buildings while you're inside dealing damage to you. - Zombies hit crazy fast, you can't hit them fast enough to not take damage and dealing them damage doesn't slow them down. They should react to being hit, sure there's a stumble animation they do which looks like they slow down for about 0.25 seconds. A grown man cleaving a zombie in the head with a pickaxe should drop it. The pickaxe would go through the skull no problem. No one is surviving that in real life. There's no skill involved with it all it's just tank them and hit them 5-6 times until they fall and replace all your destroyed gear. - If you drive a V3S do it very carefully. If you crash them even slightly by say running over a zombie you'll ruin your boots and pants. I recommend putting your boots and pants in your backpack. I didn't have my legs broken but it might be worth bringing a splint/morphine. - crash sites on persistent servers remain broken. non persistent seem to be good and the best source of gear at the moment. The 6-7 I found seemed to spawn appropriate items.

As always lead them inside then close the door as you leave.

Getting around isn't that hard. It's a small map. In a V3S you can get from one side to the other in like 10 minutes. I'm assuming they'll be adding more vehicles like cars, suv's. I'd like to see a couple usable boats spawn at the docks so you can get to the islands. They don't even have to be powered, like a canoes or sea kayaks so long as you could also stop rowing to shoot. I'd much rather see them add some large cargo/troop transport planes which have crashed. Imagine running through the woods and stumbling into hoard of 50 zombies wondering around a crash site littered with AK's, armour, ammunition. etc. Also why are there no broken down aircraft on the airfields? There should be dozens of aircraft parked/crashed on the runways. If it was the apocalypse, those sites would have been in chaos as people tried to leave.

I'd like to see them change the way players can get kicked from a public server. They should take the ability to kick users away and simply let admin's report hackers. If it's that bad, the admin can turn the server off instead of kicking 40 people because they don't know who they are. Not to mention the admin abuse out there. I had a fully kitted our character with an M4 and I was searching for an acog or rds. I was on a server with 6-7 other people in a V3S and I'm screaming through a field near green mountain when I see a player running towards me down the hill. Then everyone except one player (the admin) on the server gets kicked and when I logged back in my character had been killed. So when you kick people they still exist on the server for the logout timer... If players are kicked they need to at least make it instant. You vanish and are not left in game to be shot by dirty admins.

I don't like being KOS'd at NWAF either. So I stopped going there instead of bitching about it.

I hope some day they let us burn down buildings. Fire stations are #1 on my list.

Persistence is broken and they haven't implemented loot distribution yet. When you get tired of fighting players who are fully geared with M4's/Aug's and you've been running with a repeater or sks (if you can find bullets) you'll hop as well. Edit: I've pretty much given up on public persistence servers. I found a nice private shard with no persistence and a medium player base. So no hopping but loot actually spawns and the heli's aren't invisible.

Search for persistent off servers and hop onto them when the servers reset.

It goes the same speed on flat surfaces but up hill even a slight like 3% incline and the thing slows down. If you're trying to start on any kind of a hill, you're going to just crawl. It's kind of lame I get that semi's start off slow but we're talking just the truck with no cargo. With it's current in game power IRL the v3h wouldn't be able to tow anything up a hill.

That shotgun would be awesome if it fit in your bag.... It's not worth taking up the primary weapon slot unless you don't have another option.

At the same time they should let you eat and move. I can eat an apple or drink a can of coke while walking around.

I know this is just a beta but is anyone else slightly annoyed and bored with persistent servers? Helicopters don't spawn on most of them or if they do they're invisible. Almost all the buildings are empty. I've been running around for the last couple weeks and the best weapon I've found is an sks with a worn scope. I think my last straw was after a server reset on a low pop server, no one rejoined. I spent about 2 hours hitting every military base in the west and didn't find a single mag or akm. Not even gear like vests and helmets which weren't damaged. Today I hop on a persistent disabled server with about 10-15 players on it and it's like the candy land of weapons and gear. An hour hitting just three military bases in the SW and I'm kitted out with a pristine AKM worn PSO-1 scope, drum mag and a couple hundred rounds of ammo. I saw at least 4 AKM's, a AK 101 and a AK 74. Finally found a pristine vest and a Gorka helmet. I even found two crash sites, the american one was already looted except a grenade, the Russian one had a 30 round mag for the akm. So what's the deal? Do you think people on persistent servers are just sucking up the guns and ammo in tents hidden in the woods so the server thinks it has plenty of stuff already available? Is it just a terrible loot table, problems with a couple servers or are more people having this same experience?

That's a really good explanation of the current system. However I believe on some servers loot item respawn is not working as intended. So when that item is picked up there isn't a replacement item spawning somewhere on the server. Since the AKM for instance only spawns in long barracks and I was able to check 9 out of the 10 long barracks on a server with no other players after a server restart. The only one I didn't make it to was the one north of Sevrgino and while it's possible, it's also unlikely there were several in that one barracks. When I play I try to stick to the same server as much as possible so it's disappointing to have to switch severs for loot. It's still possible maybe it's reading weapons stored in tents or dropped in the woods/water or maybe they're spawning in the ground or something.

Ops beta comes after Alpha. My point was I realize it's still in development and testing. Interaction is important. But when you're on servers and everyone's basically starving to death that interaction is going to be limited and boring. Conversely when you're on servers which are flush with loot it provides little cause for interaction besides fully geared players shooting each other. There's also little to no consequences for death if you can get back to the same gear level in an hour. I agree the game isn't about loot. Loot shouldn't be easy to get but it should be available to get on the server.

I wasn't arguing about anything, I was complaining and wondering if it's just a statistical anomaly that I have terrible luck on these servers or if everyone's experiencing similar events. Everything is WIP. That's no excuse for lousy work. You can build and test things without even pushing them to the experimental. If something sneaks by the developers testing and then fails in the experimental build why continue to push them to the stable branch before repairing them? I know helicopters were brought up in experimental but they still pushed it to the stable branch because hey who gives an f it's "WIP". It's lazy. The forums are meant to be a place to test the temperature of the community. It's where people come to complain.

A couple months ago I was climbing the ladder to the top of the schoolhouse and my character flew out about 20 feet sideways from the building and died.

"This video is private" wtf

Last guys who killed me while I was unarmed btw shot me 4 times with the shotgun and broke my leg then his buddy shot me once from his blaze. Shotgun is shit mate.

Join random private shards and you'll be a fresh spawn every time.

Campfire maybe
