try a different community server?

it happens to everyone. no need to re-log, re install. its just naff.

i have too. the only changes that keep cropping up are shotguns, it is frustrating. they should be the fastest handling guns ever. rifles are way different. the other part thats annoying are slugs, they are totally nerfed. shotgun "00" buckshot is a powerful short range cartridge. shotgun slugs should be even more devestating but maybe under 100m. shotgun slugs weigh 600 odd grains of weight, .223 weigh about 60 grains? both at different speeds though. shotgun slugs can take out extremely large game targets. the shock factor of slugs should be alot higher against body armor compared. so 50m for buckshot maximum, lethal up close, less lethal at 50-75m, medium shock damage at 50m +range. 100m for slugs maximum, lethal up close, and touch less lethal at 100m. high shock damage. i liked the 1.10 updates, because shotguns were about right. rifles are for 100yards +. i hope they increase the range of radios, it will give a little more interaction for lone survivors. there are radio towers and most radios use repeaters so range shouldnt be short. i also like the idea of a scan channel, when anyone speaks on the radio, anyone listening on scan, will hear white noise (scan channel function) , then they can change the radio to the exact frequency ! its not private, but thats radios. player interaction will be beneficial to the game. we`d have to turn off the radio before entering towns, to stop radio chatter / noise attracting infected. it would bring in "lone wolf", "squads", "survivors", to interactions. thats what the game is about, interactions, whether it is an M4 at 200m or a radio at 50km. having the ability to craft leather clothes wouldnt go a miss in days. Shoes should last longer. i liked the idea of using a shirt or tee shirt as an insulation having the ability to make bows and arrows, even for simple hunting and taking down infected. most of the suggestions can be very simply implemented.

i kinda agree with most, but there needs to be serious balance. some of my thoughts Tearing up chickens could be implimented, maybe have to wash hands twice? Radios are cool. Need more range. most radios can use repeater towers. There are lots in game. Dont like the dead player blood use, sounds tacky. Forget zeroing sound effects. Sounds naff. More stuff happening at appartments.. helicopter crash sites with a radio beep. really cool idea. i wanted to burn down bases with petrol and matches. alot of light and smoke, 2 jerry cans needed. metal iron inhibits burning. improvised trip wire + grenade, stun grenade or flaregun.. snare for players. maybe have a few random infected running around like wolves. Bird scarer bangers on a fuse. ignite, put down and wait 1minute for 30 seconds of loud bangs. to distract z or players.

i loved being stuck in a building, unable to sort out the wolves, i love the wolf interactions, they snook up on me last time, attacked, i shot 2, then shot 2 infected, then glitched my shotgun, grabbed my magnum and shot the last 2. bandaged, lost alot of blood, almost zero, passed out many times (about 10) trying to survive. ran off, totally had to adapt to take them on.

i love the lone wolf play style, other friends / players can give you away. like making a fireplace in the dead of night in a medium pop server. with minimal chance to get out. i love wandering, but i`m silly restricted, i live in shakovkha and staroy, and gorka, dolina. there is more than enough there to survive. i did it for a year. (11m and 2 weeks, the wipe got me.) i find it funny when watching you youtube, where they complain about it being tough and cant survive. the videos are they get half geared up with an amphibia/ mkII and a box of bullets, then actively run on the road, out in the open, towards very rapid sustained gunfire, and make it 100 yards, and get shot. my playstyle isnt interesting, its boring as hell. its just avoid, and survive. thats all that matters to me. i have had very few kills, and i did go on community to just do pvp. but i like the rawness of official. i see people, but rarely shot or interact. i`ve killed people on official, they were being very silly, shooting infected, in broad daylight, even chasing me in a building, to be shot as soon as they enter. its that crazy pause when you randomly meet someone and there is that pause, where you know they are thinking. last guy i saw, there was that pause, he had empty hands, then he had a gun, and i just flattened him instantly. i got killed twice, by the same identical incidents, a large group of 2 guys (lol) got me, i was caught in the middle, first incident i tool one guy, got killed by the other, and the other i got slaughtered trying to escape, 2 guys again, i played another server and a group of guys are killing freshies, growing food, it was fun to be chased, to evade, go back to their base and then steal there tomatoes, fill up with everything really, be chased again, hide in a ditch, i even heard them in game chat, talking about how they will kill me, it was really fun. then i took a left and went. survive, hide, win.

everything has a price.

i have to agree, some stuff not working as soon as an update, then patch. i just take a break for a few weeks until the tweeks are done.

could you guys "move to a different" server? community? thats policed hard?

I glitched and froze, and zombies come running from miles away. To be fair i needed a break

I lost an 11month survivor. Spent time running away and hiding. I killed 1guy and about 100 goats.

Restart a few times. Youll get used to it.

dude, find some seeds or a tomato and a shovel. that there is some serious hard core survival.

yep, i`m a stealth survivor and i try to live either with cooking pots to survive, i create minimal waste, if ever. these cooking pots are the best thing since sliced bread. no waste and i can kill a goat and almost cook it in 2 sessions. its an absolute must, on high pop servers it helps alot. but on low pop servers you might get away with a campfire or house oven. i make sure i fill it with water, i do loose water and some nutrition but its worth it being stealth, i drop the cooking system from my inventry, then select the cooking pot on the floor to hands. boiling water saves on water prirification tabs too. i`ve not drunk from a well for months.

by rights, shotgun slugs should penetrate more. they are absolutely lethal. they should up the energy somewhat, 55grain .223 rem vs 525grain slug. big difference, even 2500fps vs 1400fps on a good day. shotguns have always been upper tier. they just arnt accurate at distance.
