60 shots with M4 without touching the magazine?
Killawife replied to roguetrooper's topic in General Discussion
Yay for Anime learning! At sometimes maybe cleaning your gun and gun jams will be a part of the game. Right now its just pray and spray. The game would probably be more fun if the larger magazines were removed. I have several times been in gunfight were the opponent shoots and shoots and shoots and I think, now he's gotta have used all his bullets in the mag but No. -
too many "do not join" servers to report
Killawife replied to Wookieenoob's topic in General Discussion
Because its cheating, duh. Cheating should never be allowed in any form in MP games. -
I didn't kill anyone today and didn't die so I guess it was a good day. I found a magazine for my AKM and some handgrenades. I also found an FNX pistol but having no mag I swapped it for a cr75. Took a ride in a V3S and its amazing how much people like to shoot at those things as you wizz along the coastline. I gave a guy a ride and another guy ran up to the truck when it was standing still and died from it :( I don't count that as killing though since It was the truck. I named it christine and gave it to my passenger.

Saying that a heli crash, military base or any other place is some kind of "free kill zone" is just rubbish. People could behave normally and if another player is not hostile theres no need to kill them outright. You can capture them, secure them and release them. or shot their legs and tie them up. Or just keep them under arms til you are done looting. Killing is the easy and boring way to do it. Its also completely meaningless for both parties. First you make a player respawn, which is annoying but also you make an enemy. I can't even count the many times I have been killed and get hellbent on finding the killer to get my revenge, only succeding twice. But I will remember those victories. People can play the game the way they want naturally, but the main goal we all have in common, heroes, bambis and dirty kos-ing bandit scum is that we all want to have fun. So make it fun. Don't just shoot someone dead like that for no reason.

LoL!

If the gun could be used normally without the magazine like an sks or mosin it could be worthwile til you find an sks. But as it is now its a one-shot wonder. I do however have two cr magazines on one of my characters for some reason. If it could mount the LRS scope it would be a very good gun though.

Carnage on the firestation roof in Elektro. I didn't have a mosin, just the scope so I just watched and laughed. 6 people in total duked it out with brooms, knives adn baseball bats. One had a gun and thus became the winner.
-
Found an AK101 and scope in the same barrack room. Took me some time to find the magazine though.
-
The roof almost always spawn guns too, or weapon parts and bullets.

As long as at least one stinger spawns in every town i see no harm to 15-100 helis spawning on every map. But in reality, what would be the use for it? Its not like its far to run between "good loot spawn points" as it is today and if you have a car you can hit all of them in an hour. With a heli it would be silly, clans emptying every server of good loot in minutes. It wouldn't help the gameplay. This game needs the playerbase to learn what game it is playing, way too many people treat it like cs or battlefield. I have no idea how this would be accomplished though.
-
No, it is useless to try to control this. Anyone can change the gamma and brightness directly on their graphic-card with preset buttons. FOV is different but in my opinion third person view is much more of a game ruiner than FOV.

Why kill everyone? The guy at krasnostav I can understand but the others?

The map is a good way to find your way around when you are new. In the beginning before i found it I ran around with no clue whatsoever of where i was or where to find water etc so thw map helped a lot. Now I have no greater need for it except for when I get lost, which happens sumtimes. I don't consider it cheating. I did use the in-game map for a bit and it was quite nice. The problem is finding all the pieces and that you can't put any markers on it. The izurvive app is a good thing too if you have a pad.

I only played for half an hour y-day and it wasn't the best of times. I went on a new private server and spawned near kamyshovo. Got some clothes and a flaregun with flares and went to kamy. Almost right away when I got there I met a guy and said hello. He ran around me for a bit and I said hello again. he drew out an ice axe, i started running asking what his problem was. After running around for a bit he hit me so i decided to jump in the water. I swam to the nearest isalnd and the guy was standing on the other beach. I gave him the finger and bandaged myself. After a bit he went away but i was pretty sure he was hiding so i went on the other side of the island and swam towards the other islands. Then something stupid happened, my legs started breaking and kept on doing it. I swam back and tried to make a splint but ofcourse it didnt work. So, I couldnt walk, swim or do anything. I made a rock knife and tried to kill myself but it didnt work. I had spent my flares so i couldnt shoot myself. Eventually I just logged out.

Police cars random spawn, like choppers?
Killawife replied to IgnobleBasterd's topic in General Discussion
Wtf, I have never found anything of worth in those police cars. Just shoes, shoes and more shoes. -
Discussion about weapon slots on your back
Killawife replied to Zyryanoff's topic in General Discussion
You shouldn't be able to carry any weapon on your back unless you craft or find a sling or holster of some kind for it. It needn't be very hard though, some rope or leather should do the trick and these could ofcourse already come with the rifles. Other than that You should be able to choose what you have on your back: Axe/fireerm, Axe/axe, Firearm/firearm as long as you can sling it. If there were special holsters for knives, machetes and small hatchets it would increase the use of these weapons. On a related note, knives are really underpowered and useless in this game. In a real-life survivalist scenario the first-choice weapon for any survivor wouldn't be an axe, it would be a knife. -
The solution: Flying zombies

"No message received for xx seconds"...?
Killawife replied to vfxtodd's topic in New Player Discussion
You can use it to snoop ahead. Players will not dissapear but stay motionless for a minute or more so you can actually see if there was soemone in that room ahead or if it was just your nerves playing a prank on you. This saved my life once as I found two guys waiting in a room just ahead of me. I didn't log back in. -
Those servers are lying. There is no way to increase or decrease the loot other than going persistance or Non-persistance.
-
I think there is a fairly easy solution for this. When a player dies and respawns, he should respawn at a spawn location as far away from his previous location as possible. Then the body could be lying there for an hour or so without issue since it takes at least that long to run from komarovka to novo. Ofcourse you could probably do the trip in 15 minutes if you have a car but if you can do that neat trick, you should be awarded for your tenacity...or luck....or having friends with a car. I also think that the "hide body" option should be removed. If someone wants to hide a body, make him chop it up or even better, drag it somewhere to hide it. I hate it when someone kills a person and I'm a newspawn watching unable to do anything, then he hides the body so I can't even loot the scraps when the killer is gone :(

What can be done about ghosting on public servers?
Killawife replied to gankaskon's topic in General Discussion
Play on private shards. You don't have to buy one. Playing is free. -
No we don't need more loot. The problem is that a lot of people spawn on the beach and only run around balota, cherno, elektro, amyshovo, solnichy and berezino. Quite quickly these places get looted, the people get killed and the loot they had dissapears. Just run inland a bit, you will find loot there. When I play I usually never play on persistance enabled servers. Mostly because theres no loot except at military bases but also because the loot so rarely replenishes. On regular server the server restarts and Hey presto, lots of stuff!. I usually get decent gear and a gun in an hour or less and I NEVER kill anyone for their gear. Its not hard if you know where to look.

Berezino, Vybor, Elektro, Komarova, NW airfield, Cherno. Thiose are the ones I can remember but its usually a surprise when you log in and fins yourself in a strange place. Like the other day I logeed in ontop of the fire station at NW airfiled on a 50 man server :S. I managed to lob it out of there and am sitting in a bush nearby somewhere.
