Agreed. Bandit skins would need to be a "whole body" thing. It would need to be something along these lines: When you spawn how your clothing is random. Once you become a bandit, you always have the black clothes and baseball cap and if you are a survivor you would be outfitted differently etc. You should be able to tell friendly/bandit from a distance. --- That being said, I am all for the unknown fear factor that comes when meeting and seeing a player in the game. I think it adds a good amount of suspense and entertainment that would be lost if we had bandit skins.

Agreed. Any PvP game that has elements that change according to the play style are at fault. A well organized clan and beat any set up.

I would hope it is a standalone and not just a DLC.

Server US 842 just got hacked (about 15 minutes ago). Me and all the other players were teleported to a roof and then shot by a few guys. We all died. :(

I never said that my idea was perfect. I did say that the concept was a good idea. If you are going to have skins (bandit/hero) mandatory you have to have a way to reward players both for their actions, whether they be good or whether they be evil. Some good points were mentioned about a good guy who defends himself and get killed. If he lives long enough should he get the bandit skin, for self defense? No, hence my idea tried to reconcile the two. Instead of just crapping on my idea, please, do share, how you would envision the skins (both hero and bandit) working if they were a part of the game. What kind of system would you have that would be impossible for anyone to fool? As I see it, no matter the system, there will be a way to beat it. As long as you have both sides of the spectrum, a good clan of bandits will be able to "help themselves" with enough good to counter any bad.

Unless the skin evolves as the player does. Here is a concept: 1-2 Kills - Neutral 3+ Kills - Bandit Bandaging another player removes 1 Kill Blood Transfusions remove 2 kills If you are at neutral, banding and transfusions give positive points.

I agree. A kickstarter would be huge and would be funded very well.

If you even seriously have to ask that question, you should just stop playing the game. There is never any justification for hacking on any game for any reason. No exceptions.

:facepalm:

The current way is just fine. No matter how any game or mod is set up, there will always be a few to "expolit" some aspect of the game that others think is cheap. I will switch servers under a few conditions: 1- There server I am on is full and my friend is trying to join 2- The server has too much lag and is making the game unplayable 3- I have switched servers as well to find a day time server when I am starting out. When it gets so dark that nothing I can do allows me to see, I'll switch. Although some people play all day, there are many of us who have jobs/kids/family so we play when we have time. If it happens to be night, switch to play a day server. I think the overall having 1 charcter that can switch servers is fine. Tents can stay on one server how it is. I am not seeing a need to regulate this.

What is QQ?

The Queue is only a good idea for newly spawning people, not for just joining a server. If i am playing with a friend or solo, I want to log in where I logged out. That is how it currently is and that is how it should stay. Would it be nice to see a lobby where you could see who was waiting and spawn in with them. Sure. But that opens the door for bandits to sneak into groups, help them loot, and kill them all. The "problem" would still exist. Granted, I do not complain about anyone's play style whether they be a friendly survivor or bandit. The game is made to be an open play model so you can play in whatever way suits you.

Anyone in this area?

I'm in Berezino, and I need a blood transfusion. Can anyone help me? My guy is shaking really bad and the painkillers are not helping :(

Lucky time to get a bug. His tent had some food and had additional tents inside. Tents are hard to come by. I was taking some food and was going to get a tent too. Where his tent was , there was not adequate cover for him to hid and attack. I am now injured as I ran before he could kill me. I bandaged myself up. Soon after that I left the server. I am in need of a blood transfusion though. If someone is willing to help, I'd appreciate it.

I found a tent and decided to raid it. I took a few things, and then I logged off, and ate some lunch. I did save the tent after I left. When I came back on I saw that one of my two normal servers was back and it now updated. When I joined that one, nothing I took from the guys tent was in my inventory. What am I doing wrong?

Well I'll log back into that server, and go raid the tent again and wait a few minutes this time. Thanks

I have found a map, but it does not show my location. I have tried to play on different servers and it is the same thing. All the servers I am playing on Regular. Did something change so that you will not see your location on the map?

Sounds good. I try not to "server hop" but the few servers that I normally play on, have not updated to the latest game patch yet.

Up until recently, it always showed a blue dot of my current location. That was across a variety of servers. I have never seen "all players" I normally only see my blue dot and occasionally I'll see a my friends dot, when we are right next to each other.

Maybe I just do not know the whole back story, but all the characters seem military inclined. We are not playing as average civilians, so using high tech equipment would be something that we could all do. Who is to say that there are no satellites? All we know is that this Island is over run with Zombies and we are stuck here. There is no indication that the entire world has been over taken. Can someone point to me where it says the entire is over run with zombies? I say keep the tech gear. Those who invest more time will have more high tech gear. Also, we are raiding military installations. I bet they will have high tech gear as well. Zombies do not automatically mean all things created after 1950 go away. Heck, there are a lot more high tech things then nvgs, gps. A blood transfusion is pretty advanced medical technology. Keep the weapons and equipment as it is. *Correction: I see that the world has been hit by a new virus that has wiped out most of the world. That being said, it would not knock all the satellites our of orbit. Granted, we would not be able to change their course.

Are those then only places they spawn?

Trained bandits use steam to chat ;)

What do you need to remove the fencing? Just a toolbox?
