Blaaaaaaag

The only way to play this now is to PK in remote areas to keep yourself in food and drink. I'm surprised there are so few bandits at the moment, must just be because most folks have stopped playing for the time being.

Are zombies warm or cold blooded, and is the idea behind the temperature gauge to indicate how fast they're likely to move? That could be neat.

What's with the panicking feature people are talking about? That seems unnecessary, and like it'd just kill the immersion. I can panic on my own if the conditions are right, and that's how I'd rather do it. Being told I'm panicking doesn't suddenly make it actually happen.

This exactly. Everyone in this thread whining about the spawn rates and locations is playing the wrong game, go pick up Dead Rising, it'll lovingly stroke you and kiss you goodnight.

I don't really see this working either, not in a city or town as everyone else has said. 3 Bandits can pretty much lockdown a town from the outside without much risk to themselves, periodically running in for supplies. With a group of a dozen or so you could perhaps hold a farmhouse, but you'd need to send people out on supply runs constantly, and you would definitely want a vehicle. For those not going on the supply runs, but just holding back and defending an otherwise unwanted farmhouse, the game would probably get quite boring. And if there are bored bandits who catch wind of your location, and think you have stockpiles of goods, then good luck holding them off for very long. The competition for resources in this game makes bandits out of otherwise kind and generous people... when it becomes a choice between killing or dying, morality tends to go out the window. I think you'd be better served to try and get a travelling platoon together, maybe a dozen people skyping and constantly on the move, stealthing their way from town to town and clearing it of supplies while watching each other's backs.
