well it seems since side chat went everyone just shoots on sight. Honestly not bumped into one 'friendly', no one talks any more. For me it's turned into "see someone, shoot them" situation

I'm all for sandbox stuff, I was just thinking it'd be great if you could get a deer stand kit (of course it'd never spawn loot!)... but if you've got these elements (big tents, guard towers, floodlights etc) and you want to make a "tent city" then crack on, I'm all for it. But tbh I don't like the idea of NPC guards, I think that goes against one of the cooperation fundamental of the game. Who would 'own' these guards? If its one person then it's got the potential to get messy. If it was a clan thing then the whole clan mechanics need to be put in the game...nah tbh it's best kept simply as is. But yes I'd like to see more placeable items :)

in response to the OP: Sorry imo a far too overcomplicated solution and far too punishing. People have to disconnect for a number of reasons. For example I've had to disconnect numerous because my 2 year old daughter has woken up. The simplest solution I've seen mentioned is that people need to sit down to properly and immediately disconnect, if the person drops in any other way then their character remains in the game for 30,60,120,300 seconds or whatever. (And btw Alt+f4 is disabled)

Well I died the other day, spawned on the beach. On my journey back to where my buddies were I found no less than 10 Lee Enfields. There were 3 in one barn alone.

can you 'make' more bizon mags with makarov mags? If the bizon in the game is 9x18mm then you should be able to do this just like with the shotty and such ammo ;)

Well I don't really mind if someone steals stuff if they destroy my tent that's a bit moronic but when you log back in and find your tent stuffed up due to a server reboot or you try to put looted stuff in a tent (no where near it's capacity) and the stuff glitches and gets destroyed. Or you put stuff in no realising the tent is full and it randomly chucks the stuff somewhere on the floor (fun to find in damn grass!!!). You sit and think to yourself "why am I bothering?" And now there's no global chat it would appear everyone is now a bandit, so why bother trying to collect good stuff when you can just find a Lee Enfield with relative ease and pop some player that's done the hard work for you? hmm this post may need some salt

I've had this a few times now. Disconnected because I was going to the bog, reconnected and *flop* I didn't have aggro that I knew of. First time it happened I was up the stairs in a castle, thought I was going to fall down to my death! Was at full blood too. Most weird...and annoying.

you forgot the dies :P And rifle dies aren't carbide steel like the pistol ones so you have to lube the cases. Then you need a powder measurer and a reloading book (you don't want to get those measurements wrong!). Oh and different types of powder, you can't go shoving pistol powder into rifle cases... ;) I think if the game were to have this it'd have to be a simplified "bullet reloading kit" that would produce X amount of bullets for your selected calibre

Well the idea is; I've seen and know people that go around with the axe almost constantly because it's silent and not a PITA like the crossbow can be. Currently there is a big risk of zombies breaking your leg when they hit you but I understand that's being addressed - my thinking is to make it so melee weapons are less desirable and only really useful as a last resort. I'm sure some people would like chainsaws and katana blades in the game but in a real zombie apocalypse where get scratched/bitten and/or any zombie blood/saliva in your system turns you into an infected would you run around trying to chainsaw them all? :P

The superdupahypermarket

Yeah my feeling is that zombies should suspect you're there, either through noise or spotted movement, they shuffle their way towards the location where they spotted/heard you if they properly clock you. Cue the running around Benny Hill style

His name was Bob, he died because you riddled him with bullets. You b*st*rd Police Version: His name was John, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the back 16 times. :P BTW is there going to be any sort of fix to the glitching zombie animations? or whatever is causing the infected to do minor teleportation tricks? So annoying when you're lined up to pop one coming at you and they matrix your bullets.

can we get a fix to the inventory bugs soon? I'm talking about putting things into people's full backpack = item destroyed. Same deal with tents. It's quite frustrating when you put some stuff into a tent that's full but you can't see it's full and it doesn't tell you :'( You have to sit there playing accountant working out how much stuff is in the tent.

yeah I just got back on for a few mins then got kicked and it's locked again. Easy and Matschi are now the only ones on it. Avoid this server!

Was just playing on this one, 24/24 then 20 of us get booted and the server gets locked! 4 guys left playing: Duke Eazy, Keko & Matschi. Seriously wtf??

I have a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 (which is the one in the game), they are rather loud but then most rifles are as the bullets are going super-sonic. The .303 is typically loaded with a 174gr bullet that travels in the region of 2500fps. Now the Lee Enfield No5 (the Jungle carbine) is even louder due to the shorter barrel. Such a shame the game lacks the animation for cycling the bolt. Though being as we running around some russian country side surely it should be mosin nagant's we stumble across? :) Oh well I'd rather have the Lee Enfield anyway :P

logged into the game, loading screen went. Computer started loading in the graphics of the building I was in (it's not usually that slow!), it hadn't finished loading the walls in before I heard a 1911 round. Egg timer came up back to the beach for me. The guy must have been right behind me and waited as I loaded in to shoot me in the back of the head. Now not really a stupid death per say but an extremely annoying cheap shot by some little chav *coconut*.

Yeah the zombie spawn rate it a little insane, they spawn way too quick

I like the night but some servers/nights the game is pitch black to the point where you only know where to sky is because of the stars. Anything in front of you is impossible to see - now while this is really nice from a realism point of view the situation is that you connect; can't see jack-all, disconnect and go to another server. It'd be ok if you could see a little - with the gamma and brightness up it's not too bad. Though why my character can't duct tape a torch onto his gun... maybe all guns should have a torch? P.S. I hate that flashlight, why have that when it takes up the pistol slot?

Bumped into a guy in a forest yesterday, things got heated and I started shooting my AKM at him, I clipped him in the leg as he ran away and at least once more in the back, he dropped prone and I put more rounds into his body, I didn't see a "killed" message so I kept firing rounds into him then his body disappeared! So if you disconnect your body is still there for 5 seconds but if you disconnected body dies it still disappears?? Oh Alt+F4 doesn't work anymore - at least not for me.

No they're spawning, found plenty of Makys, a 1911 and a Lee Enfield yesterday
