I've done some poking around in the last few days, and amazingly there was loot spawning in an official persistent server.

Actually, I find the bayonet useful. Once attached I drag it to the hotbar and use it as a melee weapon. One shot to a zombie head and they are dead, and it opens cans. I do this when I am running around without an axe/backpack, which I also find has its uses. Plus it looks pretty awesome.

You guys only hide out in hardcore servers? Why is that?

I am all for rare, god-mode items. Just make them extremely rare. I have no problem with badasses running around here and there, with clear tactical advantages vs other players. Then again I want a camo suit like the predator, and motion sensors like in Aliens. With the way the loot economy will be, I don't see a problem with this. There is/was an issue with duping, but that is it's own separate thing.

It was fun while it lasted...

In a game where camping is encouraged, combat logging is unconscionable.

Because it happens over time, not immediately, it suggests a thermal issue. Check for blockages. Blow the air intake out with compressed air. If skilled, replace thermal paste.

Lies.

Lmao that's not a hacker, that was severe lag combined with an animation glitch.

Maybe he was a POS and didn't need you helping him out.

Anyone else notice they slow you down while running? Or am I that high?

What would you guys think about adding a second melee attack, like a kick? As it stands, all we can do is punch, which is all well and good, but I think adding a kick, one that flies straight up the middle, could be a sweet addition. Use it to kick back an opponent, kick at his legs to possibly trip him, etc. Use it to kick back a zombie that is blocking a doorway, so you can close it on him and gtfo. Edit- basically have it act like the right-click in Left4Dead, creating some separation between you and your target. Edit2- you could even have it work when you have a melee weapon out. I think this idea is golden. Edit3- when you have something like an axe in-hand, you could use right-click as something similar to a hockey check. Right now we have no option to create distance in combat aside from running away.

It would also, and I am not gonna lie here, but it would also be fun to push people off ledges. Don't judge.

I heard Italians have this issue.

Ok, sure. Give me stat tracking and I'd oblige your desires as well.

Since we have technology, I recommend using it, and adding said kill tracker pad to the game, in the form of stat tracking. Miles walked, beans eaten, strangers bandaged, elk hunted, bullets fired, accuracy, kills, everything. I am going to play how I play no matter what. Stats aren't going to make me a killer. I already was. You guys against stat tracking act like KOS and bandits aren't much of a thing in the game right now. Be real. You just don't want stat tracking due to your unproven belief that it will lead to more KOS. I am here to tell you I do that with or without. Edit- Since I think over half the population of the game will KOS anyway, why not indulge us, the masses?

I rangefind by using a map that allows me to set waypoints. Binos should have built in rangefinders.

Then maybe I like your face. Come, let me have a look... Seriously though, I will be happy with the game just telling people who it was that killed them. That is all I require. Edit- I tell them anyway, as I dance around their corpse and tell them exactly how they messed up, leading to their noob deaths.

I am in favor of stat tracking in all shapes and sizes. I enjoy these things. Maybe others don't. Let me tell you right now though, I will kill you regardless of stats. I just don't like your face.

There is a difference, and there are spreadsheets out there that show the difference. I would link you but I can't find it atm. I can tell you that the folding stock is the worst in terms of dispersion.

Why would a few guys have to go running? In my unit, and other infantry units I knew of, there was one guy who was in charge of the arms room. That guy was responsible for it all.

Only issue I have with the new patch is the server reboots. It wouldn't even be so bad, except for the fact it seems to put me so far back from where I was. Also, it is a literal game-changer, as many of my buddies have sworn off the game until it is fixed, leaving me lonely in Chernarus.

My experience with the axe is more: 1) wait for zombie to close range 2) step behind zombie, before he swings at me, continuing to strafe to his backside until zombie is fully in swing animation 3) whack them 4) repeat as necessary. Usually 1 axe swing kills them, 2 tops.

That is incorrect based on my field research. 3 stun batons did not down a fresh spawn. Battery was in, fully charged.

My 3 are an axe, a backpack, and a decent jacket. I have come to terms with food falling on the ground.
