You need to loot their bodies before they log out or you won't be able to drag anything off them so time is off the essence !

Are you kidding me ? I only started the other day, finally managed to set myself up quite comfortably had a little stash going and I was starting to learn to topography of the area then I logged in after the patch and went about my usual routine only to find it was almost impossible to go meet my friends by sneaking past the zombies they spot you from a mile away it was kind of fun being able to sneak past them and loot buildings but now it's insanely hard needless to say I eventually died only to find the other changes... Now you don't even spawn with a weapon that with combined with eagle eyed zombies it's almost impossible to loot in the town now these changes suck ! I really loved the game but now it's really damn hard to survive I could understand if these changes were made to the harder difficulties other then just regular I started trying to teach my friends who just got the game and we are pretty much all just dying over and over ... Well at least I'm glad it's just not us since the whole server is getting raped now. I hope there is a way to roll back to 1.7.0 and there are servers that support it becasue right now the game went from seriously addictive to lame =/

Yeah sorry, We have been having some server issues with a lot of desyncs and other performance issues and we are currently trying to fix this. I don't think the server hardware can handle the current load of 50 slots. The server should be back up soon when we have a guaranteed way to keep the server stable ! Please bare with us !

Look I wasn't trying to piss on anyones campfire here I was just trying to raise the point that it makes it extremely hard for new players trying to get into the game diminishing our (as in me and my friends that I play with) fun levels and personally I would have though that the harder difficulties would scale like the sight range would increase with the diffrent modes since there is not much diffrence between them all now ... fair enough we are not all born with godlike reflexes and master tacticians but we don't exactly run in through the middle of town guns blazing trying to kill all players we come across I've actually never shot at a player so the guy complaining about people spawning in and killing each other then maybe there should be a player PvP spawn protection system enabled instead of just removing all weapons at the "n00b level" difficulty, and fair enough if this what was intended for the direction of the mod then so be it I loved it for what it was and I guess you guys love it for what it is now. Maybe just consider allowing us n00bs/casuals to have fun also with "dumbed down" modes and scale up the difficulties with higher sight radius, more damage and w/e other more "hardcore" settings. P.S. Point noted and title changed accordingly
