So, I will just start of by saying I have only had the game for about two weeks and I love it as it is but i think a few things can be tweaked a little bit, now I know that it is only in alpha and the things I am going to say are not Bugs, My ideas draw towards more reality. this would be for REGULAR servers IMO. 1 - Vehicles that are found are not in need of repair to begin with, they may be locked thus needing you to break a window or obtain a lockpick to enter and (Hotwire) the car OR they may be unlocked and Empty or near empty on fuel, my reason for this is that how many cars in your city if a zombie outbreak were to take place would be just "Broken" - Now i can see people crying about this one but IMO this makes for a more reality driven gameplay experience . 2 - The ability for a player to play true "Lone Wolf" style gameplay, this game is fun both alone and with friends but there are limitations on how far a player can progress alone as in the blood effect, i know you can get blood back from food but i would like the option to use a blood bag on yourself rather than wait for a friend to log on or risk asking a survivor for help, now once again the very idea of a person giving another person a bag of blood to survive is not reality anyway so allowing someone to do this on their own is no big stretch. Now these are just my suggestions for a Regular server, Now these are not demands in order for me to keep playing, i love the game and will continue to play regardless, they are just my two cents, Please discuss and please dont just say "No way" if you want to shoot down my suggestions please give a valid reason. Cheers for reading my babble and i look forward to a good discussion.

Yeah i can see your point and as for the Blood situation I have now started doing that to get it back but imo , the vehicle situation needs to be altered, just the sheer size of the 225km2 map and the number of damaged cars on the side of the road that are (Part of the scenery) says to me that there would be more cars in action than just the ones that are available to the player and having the vehicles horded by large groups who rarely drive them really pisses me off i think maybe increasing the number that spawn and making them harder to repair or adding some other function would be ideal but that is just me :P, cheers

In this thread, I am looking for the locations that you have found a stash of hidden (Clan) vehicles, you dont have to say the server just where you found them, the hopes of this is for Clans who stash all the vehicles on a map will have their location revealed and maybe make them think and move said vehicles around, giving other players the chance to see them driving and try to steal them :P , I will get it started, i found a bike, ute and an atv on the hills near Petrovka and a found multiple boats stored on the outer side of the chain of islands at otmel.

Hi, just want to let people know that I found camo clothing this morning and when attempting to wear it gives the swimming action and all inventory was lost, this has happened to others too, not sure if this is a small glitch or a problem with the new patch, just want to warn people to be careful.

As the topic says, what is the actual reason that the zombies break my leg from a hit? i assume that the zombie damage code is just a scaled down pistol shot to the leg with highly reduced damage, i guess it still has the chance to break your bone but i have no idea as to why i walk into some barbed wire and snap a bone? if anyone has answers to this that would be good <3

Hahahaha, I like the idea of calcium tablets lol, I am just wondering if it is because of the way zombies do damage in the game, I assume they use a damage file from a pistol with scaled down damage that would still have the random chance to break a bone, i guess the fix would be to write a damage/attack code for the zombies standalone rather that a mod damage file, but meh its alpha i can live with it * [FIXED] Too easy to break legs due to infected (reduced probability of leg damage, reduced amount of leg damage) Well then, i guess this is good timing

so i was just on Dallas 46 and running towards Cherno when all of a sudden i got teleported to god knows where and fell from the sky with what i assume was everyone else on the server, Died and lost all my gear, was this a hack or a glitch??? please help

Yea, there were no warnings like that, it happened all of a sudden lost as50 alice pack gps shitloads of food water and ammo :( people need to stop being dicks and let others play the damn game

I know a lot of you will just say a straight up NO, but with the size of this map I believe that more vehicles are needed, in my opinion it would make the game better (It is awesome as it is) but think about it with more vehicles spawning in the same condition they do now would make places on the map more populated and give people more to do, at the moment once you have good weapons and food/water to survive all there is to do is to scour the map to try to find a vehicle with more out there to repair I think that there would be more player combat with people fighting over spare parts and then with more vehicles driving around, more attempted thefts, now im not talking GTA amounts of cars just a few more here and there, that is just my two cents, please if you have an opinion on this matter reply but please not just a flat NO, just NO :P cheers.

I would love to see people driving around more, make it fun to try to steal/defend a car

Oo, I have been out there, I have been to pretty much every known spawn point and spent countless hours scouring the forests for hidden repaired vehicles, and have only once found a bike... for 50 ish people running around on a 200km map i think a few more would be fine, maybe keep the parts spawns the same tho

as a new player i can see his point, however i like the frustrating feeling of needing a weapon and having to be cautious in order to get a leg up
