  1. Hi, I basically got one problem: what use are towns for, after you've found some matches? I don't talk about cities with hospitals, as these are really unique. And I don't talk about going for PvP, but I look at it from a survivor's point of view. The (remaining) gear needed to survive (knife, water bottle, hatchet) can also be found in barns, which almost every time also contain some weapons (which I still have difficulties finding in normal towns). Now you are not only set to never experience thirst and hunger again, but you can also really easy fill up your blood meter. You don't even need to use the springs in towns, as you can just go to a lake, which is way safer. All in all, living in the woods is far too easy. There is basically no need to get any pain killers or morphine, as you're not even in danger there. This is why I really would like to see matches having only a fixed number of usages. At least this would force you to leave your comfort zone and take some risks every once in a while. Or maybe reduce the number of steaks you get from an animal, as they really last for a long time, no need to scrounge for beans anymore. So the forest to me is like a safe house, which doesn't require any upkeep at all, which I just don't like. Was I just "lucky" never meeting anyone while roaming the woods? Lucky to find all the gear I mentioned (never had a problem doing so, maybe I died once or twice in a town before gathering it all, but that's it). Did you experience the same?
