Many of us feel that you are trying too hard to make this a shooter game instead of what attracted us to the game as a zombie survival game. As the mod became more military, SA pulled back to the basics. Now, it seems that there is a major push to have too much military style gear and too much emphasis of vehicle development. I think if you placed horses and bicycles in game instead of cars, you'd nail it! I do not have an issue with minimal military gear, but the excess has resulted in less want to craft, stock food, and set up camp because a small group kitted to the teeth (and everyone gets to that point quickly) can take out an entire community of survivors in seconds. In my opinion, an emphasis on survival from zombies would put you back on track, not the tools to hunt and kill players so much.

That's awesome!

I'm in. Awesome idea. Devs should actually take this seriously. Tents and barrels are nice, but these can be made anywhere.

Well, I'm so glad you were in my game. How about you keep your opinions to yourself since you obviously already know everything about what I went through. To whom this matters: I spawned in Elecktro and died in Novy Sobor, via Mogilevka. I searched everything after I left Elecktro. 34.8 minutes later I went unconscious due to starvation. I did sprint everywhere, because who the heck walks everywhere in this game?

.56EXP. No loot. Food is non-existent. Dying in 30 min even after eating 5 apples and 3 red berries. Central loot is broke as it was last patch. You should not starve to death after 30 minutes in any circumstance... Starving Simulator is active!

I am generally friendly. I will callout friendly and standby to drop you if you do not comply. I have only killed one bambi and another player who wasn't doing anything wrong towards me (felt bad about it afterwards) but I have also dropped many suspicious players and bandits for attempting to ambush me, sneak up or thinking they could drop me before I got them! I have been double crossed by friendlies but still manage to keep my willingness to help others while being on guard. I even give out weapons with a warning that I will drop them at the first sign of retardedness!

These three things are creating problems. 1. When running with a weapon in hand while looking around. I've lost an AKM and three Mosins now, just by looking around while running. My character decides it time to just huck the weapon..which then disappears into the ground. I also tried throwing a beer outside just to see and it also vanished, only I did that one on purpose. 2. Using a scope. If you stopped running for a min or two - even ten minutes, the sway should not be like it is! Unusable Mosin w/scope at this point. 3. Zombies with super hearing. I do like the increase in zombies, but do they really need to start running from Cherno to Novo when a gun goes off? No. Also, if new zombies spawn in the area after you have shot a few, then they should not be alerted to the situation.
