Interesting thread. I thought the OP was a little harsh in his post but i really do sympathize with his frustration, he is clearly passionate about this game, even owning a server. To me though, this game is dead, for a mod atleast. I havn't played in weeks because there is absolutely nothing to do when you reach a comfotable point other than to grief or be griefed by some means. You only have to look at the server lists as of late; they used to be full and even hard to get in! (those were the days eh?). Look on the horizon guys, there is so much competition on this genre already with games such as The Dead Linger, State of Decay, and The WarZ, all this heartache isn't worth it, and who is to blame Rocket for concentrating on the standalone. I personally would be shitting it and getting as many producers or whatever on my bandwagon. Its only a testimate to guys like this who provide servers for the rest of the community that help the mod stay alive.

Main issues for me is the zombie spawning issue. A zombie completely scared me last night as it spawned right in my path, I wasted about half my clip in the panic :D Also the clothing bug and missing items when you spawn again.

I agree with you. I do find it more enjoyable when you have no cross-hair and no 3rd person camera; it's unfortunate that there only a few servers that offer this. I didn't know about the shadows but the 3rd person gripe i definitely share. I think it would be nice if the player could still access a 3rd person camera of sorts so they can see that nice Ghillie suit they just found but the camera would disable movement or something.

Well I'm new to the game and I'm frankly disgusted that this is happening. Your fix sounds like educated and constructive solution. You got my vote!
