Kill the player (so the items get lost in case he took it from a hacker), log his IP, Steam ID, CDkey hash (if available?): Beg to the dev to add a global banning system (optional selection for server hosters) and ban him there forever if you actually caught him hacking (like this guy with insane amount of items). If he is only carrying hacked items but not actually spawning ban him for a week-a month thoughts?

So the following happened: I was playing late night. I went into the baracks and looted them. I heard zombies outside and I was too tired to figth them. I log out. the next day I log in and there is a guy in a ghillie suit in front of me. I understand he will shoot me so I try to shoot him first and it didn't work My AK didn't fire, I had it up and loaded, it did not fire. He ofcourse simply killed me without a problem. So my suggestion is, to be fair to both people: Add a Spawn "Shield" around a spawning player, make him invicible, make his texture blink or add some other visual effect for people to understand that the shield is on and add a timer above their heads. Not a timer that you can see through walls though so that the position wont be given away. ALWAYS give the shield, not only if a player is neaby and ofcourse, make him be unable to shoot. If we have this people wont get insta shot when logging in, or get killed by people that log in near them. It gives both parties a fair chance. Ideas?

Ofcourse, I do not deny that it is partially my fault, it is still unfair and to be honest it is unrealistic aswell.

Many people are getting this me and 2 buddies player, our server crashed. Every server we tried to join gave us this error message. ID: 25393606 Name: Ivan Viselev

How do you explain the infected around the helicopter? If we had a flying helicopter this would mean the military still exists and that they were immune to the virus. How do they turn to zombies when landed?

check if you set a max ping or min player amount. Many servers spoof a ping of 31, when you refresh them again their true ping shows up and they get filtered away. Check if that was the problem

How about there would be generators in cities that you can fill with gas, then turn on/off and they supply lamps (not every lamp, rather in their district) with energy so they make light? Also, how about generator and lamp items to put up in your own base to light it up using jerry cans? What also would be cool is to be able to find an oil transporter, put it in your base and be able to fill the storage up with oil, so you don't have to carry 251251251 jerry cans, but rather fill the vehicles tank up with idk 1.000 liters or something. Thoughts on this?

I think the jerrycan tooltip says something about powering generators... so why not make a generator powering the lighthouse, so whatever group holds it can control the ligth beam and maybe help get supplies from a nearby city at nigth...something like that.

barricading would be dangerous unless the AI is dramatically changed and fixed. Also, there is no door objects, if you barricade yourself how do you get out?

My name is TRUCKER... ...and I approve this message. What would be nice is to be able to place items in the housings to save them. also, zombies shouldn't be attacking it 24/7 but rather come in big hordes from one or two, maybe if its a big attack from all 4 sides (north/south/east/west).

I am having massive problems placing tents. No matter where I try to place them it always tells me I can't because the area is either not free or not even. Can someone be so kind to explain the system to me or even give me a screenshot/video of placing/placed tents so I know what areas to look for? Thanks, - TRUCKER

I am having trouble too can you try adding truckermassaker@gmail.com ?

How about a radio device tool drop that gives you the option to radio on a special frequency with someone to cooperate better without third party programs. Also, how about having a frequency for information. I had the following in mind: Bandits camp the hospital and kill everyone. Why not give players the option to select the radio --> Warn people about bandits at My location and then everyone on the frequency of the player that wants to warn people gets a message saying Word is, there are bandits at xxx (just the city name, not exact positions). You'd think that survivors would try to help other people from getting killed by zombies. So to sum it up: [ADD] Radio [ADD] Warn People about bandits using radio [ADD] Frequency selection [ADD] Radio voice chat Any ideas on this?

I'd really want to play in a group too. Add me on steam: opel467

I was wondering if any european players here would like to team up and rock a server together. I do not mean slaying everyone we see but rather collecting supplies together, getting tents and building up a camp...collecting vehicles and weapons. Stuff like that. Would anyone want to team up with me to achieve all that? I'd appreaciate if someone would like to play RIGHT NOW, I am bored :P VoIP using Skype, or a TS/Vent server that YOU guys own, I do not own a server. Hope someone is interested. Add me on steam: opel467 or PM me for my skype name.

I love what you guys make of a simple idea like implementing a radio, this is why this forum works! People contribute their ideas. I think we are getting somewhere here.

I added you, lets talk on steam and see if our interests are the same

Thanks guys, I'll try.

I have to disagree. If you prone you are almost invisible to zombies. To find a weapon you just have to be patient and move north either to military bases, deer stands or to the big city to the north-east of the map. Few players means more loot to find. I cant remember how many lee enfields, winchesters and double barrelled shotguns I found in barns already. I hope I could help - TRUCKER

I like this very much.

Maybe the devs will catch this up and improve it, and finally implement it. Thanks for the ideas guys!

What about an automated version then. If bandits kill 5 players in the same city, or if 5 players get killed by other players in the same city in a period of..lets say 30 minutes, a circle around the city should appear saying "Bandits here" What about that?

Well, I guess. Limiting the range is a good idea, maybe you could have 200m ones, 500m ones and 3km ones. The greater the range, the rarer it is.
