good idea with the experience level thing, but still can be exploited very easily. unless it depends on your game stats..

i Joined this game last saturday when the game was at 1.7.0 i believe, imo for a new player (im a experienced gamer btw) is was easy BUT the zombies were at the right level of awareness imo, maybe a little tweaking was needed for the more experienced players. on sunday 1.7.1 i was getting a little bit frustrated, not to much to rage like a little carebare, but it got me using my brain abit more, so i changed how i started ( especially without a gun ) i was still sneaking at this time, but now, all i need to do is run? someone tell me why that is because really, i dont think this game should be played like that, people should be sneaking around to avoid zeds, not just agroing them, go through a small building with 2 doors and there lost. For people that say the game isnt hard, im assuming they are the ones screwing up how this game (imo) should be played, a survival game, even though people start without a gun, there so easy to find, you can get ak's shotguns, snipers on the shore.. this isnt good, it condones griefing and camping new people, for what now? a bandage? lol you can get 30 of them at the hospital or medical camp in cherno. Now imo there needs to be something done about the griefing, because they are NOT bandits, they are pricks ruining the essence of a survival game, dont get me wrong, you have to kill to survive, but someone without a weapon is not a threat to you. I also have a VERY big problem with the winchester, its in two letters, OP. the range is ridiculus for a shogun ( if its not why is it using slugs? ) and it can 1 hit someone from a few hundred meters away, now thats very stupid. the only thing i can think of to stop the continual grieifing of new people is to seperate the spawns of people who have played X amount of hours overall to the new people, the experienced people WILL know where to get weapons in the south, and there not very hard to find as a stated above. I just want this game to be to the best it can be even in alpha, people cant TEST the game if they cant play it properly, considering people are going out and spending either £15/£25 just for a mod is good, it means people want to play it, but they cant play it as a 'zombie survival' game, they have to gun down everyone they see, which imo isnt good, makes everyone untrustworthy, and the only way to counter this is by playing with rl friends, well maybe they dont have a good spec PC or maybe they dont have the time or money. Sorry about the wall of text, but i just wanted to give feedback on my issues :)

Yes we can' date=' we are here to test the new features that are added and tweaked. We have tested the new AI and most of us have come to the same conclusion. The dev can now take these data points and use it to tweak the AI further until its about right. See how this works? [/quote'] yes i see how it works, but how is someone suppose to test the game to its full potential ( ever aspect ) if there getting seemlessly killed on the coast?

its not hard if you play it like CoD , run around and gun everyone, it is hard if you play it as a survival game.

try the melee weapons out on 1.7.1.2 ;)

Well tbh, i was playing the new build all day yesterday, yes i was having trouble but i didnt find the need to roll back, because it was still fun, i wasnt having serious issues not letting me play ( getting dced alot was annoying but playable ) I dont think many people rolling back have ever done an alpha test before.

I know the time in game depends on the server and also the day/night cycle depends on the time, but when does it get light in game? cause its kinda light for me irl at 6:30AM but i just went onto a GMT+2 server and its pitch black? if anyone could awnser it would be great:D

loot dont spawn within a radius around you when you log in

i jsut ask in side chat if the person is friendly, if not, his head top is gawwwn.

if you run it with arma 2 free then maybe, but i doubt it will run with the full arma 2

old thread, games just piss easy now, all i do is run through cherno, go through a small building and there gone xD

If you join a server with a bunch of guys from a clan called E3, leave, they run a gun everyone they see, i know people will troll this thread, but if you want to have fun, avoid them, there mainly in cherno and electro.

Why is side chat diabled? id like to know if anyone wants to group up or somthing tbh....

cant use hunting knife a weapon mate, only melee weapons are a crowbar and a hatchet atm and there really bugged

EVERY server i go on is making me dc from varied times, sometimes 5 mins, sometimes 30 mins.. why?... making everyone else dc too..

Ok im fairly new as i joined this game on saturday but i have got the hang of it quickly. this is to help you if your new and to provide some tips. 1- WATCH THE ZOMBIES: watching where they walk is very usefull, it will allow you to get in and out of where you are going efficiently. 2- SCOUT THE AREA: doing this will allow you to see how many zombies there are, where they are, where they are heading to, see what building are accessable, and see if there are any players there. 3- DONT RUN UNLESS YOUR IN THE WOODS/KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING: never run, it attracts zombies way to easily, players too, stay crouched and use crouch + shift, its more effective than going prone because you can get away easier if you have agrod zombies without a weapon. 4- DONT IMEDIENTLY HEAD FOR CITIES: you will die, from a bandit/camper or just someone being a prick killing people without asking if they are friendly, although you will find good loot in cities, best to avoid them if you dont have a weapon. 5- DONT WASTE AMMO: this is if you find a weapon, dont just shoot every zombie you see, you will find yourself fucked later if you go around with no ammo when you really need it in a situation eg. zombies wont stop follwing you / player confrontations. 6- AVOID PLAYERS: from my experience its best to avoid players, especially if they have guns, they will shot you, unless they are nice and actually realise you have nothing worth taking. 7- USE ONLINE MAPS (best to find one with a key): you will get lost without one, dont know where you are? look at your surroundings. eg. oh theres a lighthouse that i can only swim to, oh im near electro. 8- GET WHAT ITEMS YOU FIND: you may need them without realising, find a empty tin can? throw it to get rid of zombies. find tons of food/drink? take it you can drop it later if you have no room for ammo/blood pacts ect. 9- USE THE FOREST TO GET TO PLACES: people drive around on vehicles, they may kill you, they may not. Also zombies spawn near little huts you may find. the forest is also VERY good for scoping out the place your intending on heading to. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask, im fairly new, im not a pro, but i know my way around and how to get in and out of places efficiently. Current items because of following these tips: Ak-74 - 3 mags makarov - 4 mags 1 bloodpac 2 cans of drink 2 cans of beans bottle compass knife watch alice pack oh and iv only been alive 2 hrs max.. ;) happy survivng!

unless your confident and you have an idea what your doing' date=' i always go to cherno first to get gear. [/quote'] I'm the other way round, I always go to Electra and avoid Cherno like death. Mostly I just got to the few good loot spots on the out skirts then out and up north. The most rewarding thing for new players is the first day you spend alive. i always go cherno now xD

my ping is fine, i relog onto the same server and it says its fine but there servers keeps saying im loosing connection every 15-25 mins, is that server side or client side? anyone else having a similar issue?

had this too, but also gained new gear? lost a m14, beans pepsi, gained a map, compass and a makarov?

i think both a modern compound bow and a craftable one with less range xD & and arrows should be craftable with wood:)

unless your confident and you have an idea what your doing, i always go to cherno first to get gear.

yes this feature should be server based, no game dev should tell you that you cant speak to the other players on the server.
