Hey guys, I just wanted to confirm if anyone else is having problems when attempting to pickup objects your legs will break on random buildings. I was in an industrial building, and I clicked on a pipsi and my legs broke and now I have a fracture. I have no way to respawn and I am stuck in the middle of no where. Any way to resolve it? No zombies around for me to kill myself either.

Thanks for the responses. I've had this happen several times, very frustrating. I did not know splints were operational, exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks!

Hello, i have been badly wounded due to a lag spike in the server, and me un able to bandage a bad bleed until late. However, i have been keeping my Thrist and Hunger at bay, and have been doing minimum activity for the past hour now. How long does it take for blood to recover? I only eat when i need to and eat, so as not to get sick, and i am sitting still for long periods of time to help facilitate recovery. Is this feature broken, or is it already implemented to naturally recover? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. I am a solo player generally.

By the way, i have used about 5 antibiotics to cure my sickness, and i mean probably around 250% of this stuff. I am still sitting on yellow (Sick) ... how else do i get to go away? Ive taken so many antibiotics it's crazy. Ive used up two of my stash and the two sitting at the hospital. I have also taken vitamins. ----- Ah, now i have the " Healing " tab. I dont understand how i got that. So i MUST get sick if i use Alcohol on my wounds, ect?

Hmm, i have no status levels for thirst and hunger, and i drank about 20 sips from a Well, and ate about 7 full things of food. My stomach is full as i can get, but i do not have any Healthy status where the food status or water status shows up.

Where is the Icon? Is this in SA?

Hello, i was server hopping looking for gear in the barracks as gear never respawns on any server any how, might as well hop around until you can find a backpack and a gun, at least i do. Then, my character reset suddenly while i logged out in a corner of the barracks without anything attacking me. Is this a new feature to prevent server hopping or is it a bug? I hope server hopping has not been prevented until rocket can at least get gear spawning in as most low pop servers are picked dry any how as people server hop looking for gear. -- If it is a feature, i cannot really complain as most of us will be without gear since gear does not spawn until a server reset. So we'll all be fairly equal. I am just trying to find out if it's a bug before i report it.

Exactly what i was looking for, thank you, sir!

Never said i didnt like the game. I like the game, awesome idea, but do i like its current state? Nope, sure don't. However, i like the game, so i am going to stick to what i like best, PvP. Ill play the game how i want, when i want, any time i want. I am not a bandit, and i do not kill people for no reason, i mainly stalk the airfield and cherno looking for other people attacking other people for no reason. It has the most PvP. Server hop, get your gear, go to an airfield, kill people shooting other people for no reason, if you can. That's what i do, if i am able. If Rocket wanted server hopping fixed, it would be fixed, and i doubt leaving and joining another server is a glitch. --------------------- Again, as the game progresses, ill eventually play it how it's meant to be played, but right now, this is an alpha, and i am just running around doing what i want. Since this is an Alpha, and honestly, the PvP is pretty damn awesome, imo, and that's what i want to do right now. When the game is released, i would hope Rocket would have managed to do something about server hopping.

I have found a whole lot of mags and ammo but no pistols. lol

MilSpec, i think you underestimate 40 people, however, you're right it cannot be bone dry, but it's not very fun running an hour to one edge of the map just to find some gear. It's just not my cup of tea, now if gear spawned back, i would travel around a bit looking for something else, and the return. Now if i could setup a base camp with some walls, ect. Then i would DEF be into exploring the map, however, in the games current state, exploring the map just isn't fun to me. --- Since server hopping isnt fixed yet, it's not a huge priority it seems, it's what i am going to do until Rocket gets it done. Once the game is out of Alpha, i probably wont be server hopping. However, i am more into PvP right now as i have randomly died twice now going north due to picking up items such as a battery or T-Shirt. It kills you. So now i just like to attempt to hunt Bandits. As the game progresses to a more finished state, then i'll take it more seriously, but right now, in the games current state, it's not serious business, and i am going to stick to the coast looting and fighting bandits.

Loot isnt spawning in those massive apartments spread all around the Cherno coast area. Is this normal?

Before you accuse me of not using the search function. I did. I searched " Loot not spawning in apartments ". My post is the only one to show up when searching that now. So, please, do not automatically assume i have not used the search function. Thank you.

Anyone else having problems with respawning? Or am i missing something? I keep having to leave the server to respawn. Wont let me simply just respawn.

I just randomly died. I havent been spawned in more than 20 minutes. Killed two zombies in Cherno, bled both times, bandaged it. I stopped all bleeding, no sickness, no thirst, no hunger. I tried to pick up a green T-Shirt, and when i did. I instantly was killed. Wasnt being attacked nothing. I know zombies attack through the 1st floor into the 2nd floor, but i heard no zombie attack noises. Just randomly died unless the T-Shirt was bugged maybe.

Bleeding is a bit over powered. I am dying many times by zombies attacking me through the floor of buildings. I was just in the Cherno grocery store, and two zombies saw me through the walls (or heard me rather), and were attacking me from underneath the building. Often, if you are ever hit by a zombie, you will start bleeding profusely, and it will not stop. Personally, i believe there is too much bleeding, too quickly, and it should have a chance to coagulate instead of bleeding forever. If this is a simulation, how the body operates should be taken into account. The body is a miraculous machine, it is hard, and easy to kill all at the same time. A deep scratch, claw marks, bite marks, even some tearing of the flesh will not cause you to bleed out unless an artery is hit. I doubt a zombie clawing, punching you, ect is going to cause a huge wound to open up for blood to pour out. Infection makes more sense than the mass amount of bleeding that occurs. As they will most likely cause deep cuts, broken bones, torn muscles ect. before you bleed out. These can be counter acted by keeping the wound open, do not close, and exposing the wound to the sun for at least an hour (2 hours is best), or even distilling salt water, and using salt water to flush the wound to kill the bacteria. I just think the decision to make the bleeding the main way to die by a zombie is unrealistic as cuts, clawing, ect. is very rarely going to cause you to bleed like a stuck pig. Infection makes much more sense, and infection also gives you time to attempt to raid hospitals ect. looking for blood test, anti-bacterial pills so on.

RamataKahn, please add more to the conversation than it's not at all. It is Over Powered in an realism accept. It doesn't make any sense for that kind of bleeding to occur as often as it does. So please add to the conversation if you have something to say. By the way, you state you haven't had any problems with bleeding out. I guess that solved the problem of zombies slapping you and instantly bleeding. All hail the almighty Ramata Kahn. He has an opinion contrary to mine. You're supreme. *facepalm* Please add more than " No, it's not " or there's no point in really saying anything. Your post on the first page was ignored by people posting because you didn't add anything. It was a statement, but there's no point in posting the same thing on all pages of the thread if you aren't going to discuss it. I am interested in people's opinion on the matter, not their yea or nay, but what they think about the damage model and or bleeding.

It's about the realism.

My point is this, it doesn't make sense to bleed as profusely as you currently do. It's not realistic. Rocket wanted to put crapping and pissing into the game, so i would figure he cared about the damage aspect as well. Death from a blood infection should be your main concern after contact with zombies than bleeding to death; assuming zombies do not have super strength, but are slowly deteriorating. It really depends on the lore of the zombies in this game when noting what their abilities are. Considering the zombies look like regular dead people walking around, without any crazy claw or teeth mutations, they attack like a normal human would. Considering this, you wont bleed to death by being bitched slapped by a zombie or a human. ---- Let's try this. When you get knocked down by a zombie, and they start doing the eating animation, THEN make the bleeding occur more frequently as he is attempting to take bites out of you. However, the average slapping, clawing, ect isn't going to cause you to bleed profusely. It may cause an infection, though. I think normal zombie attacks should have a 50% reduction in bleed chance, with the current bleed chance in the game occur only when knocked down, and they're attempting to bite you, ect. ---- How to help with the reduction of natural bacteria and surface infection? Sun tanning for at least an hour a day after taking a 5 to 10 minute dip in the ocean could seriously kill some bacteria, almost as well as soap removing the bacteria. Not to mention, you can easily make lye soap from animal fat that you kill by using ashes from a fire and mixing it up with the fat in a bucket and cooking it. Then pour the mixture into a preformed wooden block and now you have lye soap once it hardens inside the mold. You can wash infections and clothes with it like a regular bar of soap.

Hitting something accurate at 300 to 400M is hard in real life, even with an acog. Especially a human sized target. I wouldn't even attempt to make that kind of shot with an M4. I'd expect to hit a 200m target, but 400, nah, wouldnt even try, waste of ammunition.

Again, i have given three pints of blood within 12 hours before, frankly, blood loss sucks. It doesn't hurt, you get sleepy, it's very hard to focus, and your vision only clears for a split second after a blink, and it instantly blurs again. It's like driving sleepy. My grandmother, a nurse practitioner told me to get the small gatorades, and drink one every 30 minutes along with eating a couple of cookies on the hour. This really helped with the sleepiness and blurred vision and actually gave me some energy. Instead of feeling like youre going to pass out you just feel tired. Gatorade packets, or things with sugar should help with the blurred vision. Color saturation, i don't know as i haven't lost that much blood, but the blurred vision, confirmed, can be fixed with sugar and liquids. I also ate a baked potatoe, butter, and some baked beans before i went to bed to help level out the blood sugar, while giving starch to keep the heart rate from getting too low while you sleep.

I agree with Mosey, id be willing to take more damage from hits, and less bleeding as the bleeding just isnt realistic. The blunt damage possibly could. The melee is just so wobly and sketchy at the moment, and almost on every hit you receive you will start bleeding. Guns are rare, and ammo is even more rare. ---- Rocket talks about all this realism he wants to add, then he should. Since we cannot be turned into zombies, your next biggest threat is infection OF the blood, not blood loss.

Good, maybe the more people that speak about it, the more they might take a look into the idea. :)

An axe will penetrate Kevlar. I have recently bought a bullet proof vest " Ghost " is what it is called and fits under clothing. To protect from Knifes, and Ice pick type items, i had to choose that kind of protection. What came with the Kevlar was chain mail, very light and strong, sitting on top of the kevlar, tightly woven together. You have to have special protection for edged and penetration type weapons that sits on top of the Kevlar. ---- This is the armor type on my vest. NIJ II Edged: 1 (up to level 2) Spike: 1 (up to level 2) NIJ IIIa stops all handgun type rounds without plates, however, you can still be killed by the blunt force trauma (organ damage) Edged 2 will stop pretty much all edged blades, such as a knife blade, from tearing through the Kevlar. Spike 2 will stop pretty much anything with spike damage such as an Ice Pick or the tip of a knife.

I was thinking, for those of us who are lazy, and run around like day one noobs, or when accidents occur and you lose a few pints of blood, there should be a way to numb the effects, for a bit any way, of blood loss, or at least remove the blurring. Gatorade or gatorade packets, sugar water, sweets, should be able to help nerf the visual effects of bleeding for 30 minutes or so, to help buy time for you to naturally regenerate blood or find food to eat. I have given three pints of blood before, in a single day like a retard, never do that again, and what kept me from feeling like utter shit is i chugged a whole bottle of gatorade every 30 minutes, and ate the hell out of cookies. It helped keep the blurring, and sleepiness at bay, and your eyes really do blur, you cant focus, but the sugar really helps for a bit. So maybe that could be implemented?
