What if servers were forced to pick up where they left off so that time would continue instead of looping backward. Then day would change to night and seasons would change. Then they could make it so that players who were dropped from servers automatically rejoined the same servers where they were dropped. This way if items were persistant you would lose nothing and if you were about to make a kill you would not lose your chance. You would also not have to remember wich server you were on and would not have to worry that your foe would just not rejoin
-
That or the clasic massive battle where you finally corner your enemy and rush in to finish him off only to have the server restart and deny you of that oh so satisfying kill.
-
To be honest i wasnt sure what persistance on meant. But that still would not be what i am suggesting as only some items would stay on server restart and the server would still restart. I want to see a server that never restarts. That way it cycles through day night and seasons. With restart you end up with 24 hour day best season servers. We should be able to take a town and try to keep it for as long as we want not for 2 hours and hope we get into the server before the raiders and server jumpers do

So took a break for a few weeks. So much improvement. Not getting killed through walls and have only seen one zombie walk through into a sealed room. I also like the idea of adding cold. Although i feel yoy get cold to quickly even with good clothes. At the moment the only issue i have noticed in a few hours gameplay is the axe. Not sure if it is happening with other weapons aswell but i am often unable to strike zombies with my axe. Thought i might have just been missing but even if i just stand there and swing till i am dead i cant get a single hit. Axe is in pristine condition.
-
That definatly sets things straight for me. I am from winnipeg where we have minus 40 in the winter sometimes and u could definatly freeze in december. If that is the case then i enjoy it. Would like to see how all the seasons play out. Will you need more water in the summer?
-
Hate to agree but have to. Played last night a few hours. Killed by bandits a few times. To be expected that is fine. Finally get some gear and good clothing and firestarting gear. Get killed by single zombie because the fire axe cant hit it. Gonna try breaking again. Is amazing the improvements you notice after taking a short break
-
Oh i definatly agree with the keep moving strategy to avoid being hit too much i was just stating an example that the axe apparently is unable to hit them moving or not. My last death was due to this.
-
How many times do we have to die to invisible zombies or zombies that can walk through walls and doors. This is a huge glitch and they seem to be doing nothing about it. This is driving me insane!

Fried hot dogs and beans. So awesome. But gotta say sammich sounds pretty good
-
A lot of the fun and a very chalenging aspect of this game is figuring out where you are and then using either a compas or the sun or stars to navigate your way around the map. I think being able to look up where you are would take from this greatly. It would be like survivorman taking a gps with him. Even if you are just using it for your own location it should not be added to the game
-
That would be awesome. Every time i kill a soldier zombie i think "this guy should have loot"
-
Can you feel the sarcasm?(I laughed a little)

I dont like the idea of cars I feel untill you had one the game would be reduced to getacarandpartsz. Then after you would travel the map too easily and quickly and no one would venture off road anymore. Plus if you were careful all you would ever have to worry about would be gas. If transportation is that important they should just use horses. You would have to keep them fed and watered and if they broke a leg you would be shit outa luck. Plus if they got spooked they could throw you off resulting in possible injuries. Also you could ride them cross country. If a bandit (or target) had one you could just shoot the horse to stop him from escaping (though then you wouldnt get the horse) they might even break bones when the horse falls. -
You know... ill give u that. The bodies would probably add to the game. Probably drastically. However i maintain that the garbage from food and drink would be a waste
-
Nice that would just destroy the potential of that mosin. Such a good sniping gun
-
You could give them free gear like a gun and ammo and they will join u. But also give them some poisoned food. They will be with you till they die and then u just take ur stuff back
-
A lot of that is doable. You can turn some guns to sawed off so its harder to aim. You can cut up some things like if they are carrying burlap sack or tshirts. You can also spray disinfectant on the food they are carrying. It wont tell them but when they eat it they will get poisoned and very possibly die.
-
After all these are implemented maybe they should make an arena so instead of guns we could rap battle with the zombies. This shiznat will be so gangsta.... yo.....
-
You could even exchange all the f# keys for gang signs. Maybe add the ability to get a tear drop tattoo on your face...
-
This would be fantastic. I think the more ways to do it the better. Fire would be great and would not be overused any more than poison already is. What i would like to see though is dismemberment. The ability to take an arm off of your hostage. Though i could really see this being misused as a man with no arms or legs cant kill himself so he would not be able to restart untill you allowed him to die
-
this is a terrible idea. first off there is already a large number of f button animations. secondly you can press space to lower your weapon. no need to shoulder it. if i dont trust you i would be an idiot to shoulder my weapon. also the idle idea... if im hiding its probably for a reason. besides even if you are roleplaying... if it plays random animations then it might not coincide with the roll you are playing. again making you look stupid. back to shouldering. here is a scenario. im masked up and out to take your food and ammunition. i approach you and am by myself. so instead of yelling threats i raise my gun and ask if you are friendly. instead of using your mic you shoulder your gun.... well..... thanks for the food and ammo hope you didnt have too many hours in on this one.
-
though i agree that it would be cool. i think garbage and bodies may be a waste of resources. first off bodies may end up blocking paths. you could end up stuck in a room until reset. second reason would be even if they had the ability to do it would it not make more sense to just add more to the game? zombies. locations. loot. ect...
-
Motorcycle and equipment needs to be added first.

maybe the ability to add a back patch to any shirt or jacket. the patches you would have to find in or around cities. then would need sewing kit to attach it. -
tooth necklace is a good idea. maybe teeth for zombies and ears for bandits. killcam... i dont think its as good of an idea. would be cool to watch but would make revenge to easy. one in a group of 3 is shot in head. watches killcam. then tells other 2 where the shot came from. that takes too much away from the game
-
a timer on zombie respawn might be a good idea aswell. instead of respawning right after kill maybe 2 mins instead. that would give you enough time to move on so you are not killing the same zombie multiple times. if you are staying put then its your own fault
-
thought the speed was to fast before... it isnt just take your time and dont shoot too much and it is fine. thought they were too strong before... they are not. if they were not so glitchy they would not always hit you. not to mention if they added zombie infection one hit would kill you not just make you bleed. i think all they really need to do with the zombies is fix the glitches. stop them from walking through doors (crawlers). make it so they actually have to be close enough to hit you to hit you. and make it so after they die they dont get one last hit in. also it would be nice if they all fell down when u killed them. the ones that keep moving are really a hassle. i think any other issues i have had are from my computer lagging so thats my problem.
