QFT. Lost two characters to random wipes. Will now proceed to just try and kill as many players as possible before it happens again.

Thought that was being done early in the morning GMT.

Sure will be nice when I decide to roleplay as Insane Nazi!

Found an ammo box in an outhouse <3

At the current hydration/energy rate, a stealthy playstyle is too slow for it to work, which doesn't add up well with the new zombies.

Ok, so I think the new zombies and the way we have to behave around them is nice. Really adds a new tension to the game. You say adapt? We adapt. The problem is, stealth is about being slow and careful. Slow and careful doesn't really add up when your body uses energy like you're an american automobile. Me and a friend played yesterday. Knowing we can't just rush in and run around looting like crazy with these zombies, we decide to use stealth tactics. My buddy hid in a tree line with a good view of the town we wanted to search, keeping an eye on me and the surrounding so he could warn me about incoming players and/or zombies while I looted the place, crouching and stealthing. However, a players body uses up energy and water way too fast as it is now. When using a stealthy play style, you pretty much use more energy and/or water (perhaps mostly water) than you gain, which makes it feel like being stealthy isn't really premiered. I think the energy system needs to be revoked. Perhaps reducing energy/water use in a non-linear way the slower you move, making you last a long time if you don't sprint everywhere.

Is there no one else who thinks this is the case? :S

Well, the main point is that water/energy is consumed too fast for stealth to be a good style of playing, at the moment.

I can't really tell, myself. ^^

You really showed that damn bambi who's the boss!

What if you get kicked or disconnected? You don't always leave a server by your own choice, you know.

Why the hell didn't they make antibiotics work before putting diseases in?

This. I survived, but I had a shitload of water bottles and had to drink almost constantly. Went on for perhaps 30 minutes or so.

Really annoying having to wait forever to join another server because some asshole server admin decided that 125 ms latency was too much. Please remove the timer when not logging out by your own will.

So both my friend and I are having problems joining servers, and both started at the same time it seems. I can join a server, but when I get in I can see a nice view from far up in the sky, and nothing else happens. Anyone else experiencing problems at the moment? Seems to happen on every server. Also, does anyone get a BattlEye prompt saying "failed to load guard32.dll" (i think this was the name of the file) when starting. I could play yesterday so it didn't seem to be a problem then.

*praying for character not wiped*

Seriously, if my name only contains standard characters (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) and the server kicks me for "cannot contain []()!/(/¤/¤" or whatever, something is fishy. I even found a server that said "cannot cointain letters 'abcdefgh'". What the hell?

Guessing it is auto-kick because they want loot to themselves.

Why does anyone even bother with tents, considering they wipe every wednesday? I've found military tents but I've never picked them up because I can't see why.

Anything else than the way it is now. I've seen zombies spawn out of thin air just meters in front of me. It really takes away the feeling.

Sure hope we won't lose weapon attachment again. Took forever to find a PSO-1 scope.

Am I the only one who doesn't really understand the concept of "seeing my own character"?

I beg to differ. I don't think it is a hassle at all. Especially not considering the advantages it gives.

Not really. Just use Skype over the cell phone, not biggie. Or, If you have a laptop, use the laptop for communicating. As Sausage said, I'm sure there are other ways to go around it.

Turn off/remove computer microphone and use cell phone instead. There is always a way around. :(
