I love this game. I will never ever be a bandit, but I actually support banditry. In the current state of the game... zombies don't scare me. I can get in and out of Elektro or Chern without any problems, and even if I do mess up and get spotted? Turn a corner, and the stupid shuffler forgot I was ever there. No, it's the potential for snipers, for bandits that make this game the nail-biting exercise in paranoia that has me adoring it so deeply. The only thing I would change is making the undead more of a threat. Make players easier to detect, make zombies more able to hit targets who are on the move/prone, so on and so forth. There's a number of ways to do this, but my only critique is how easily the undead are circumvented and fooled. They need to be harder, they need to be more dangerous. This in and of itself will solve a lot of the banditry issues while preserving the tension that makes this game so delightful. After all, why would a sniper want to risk his life for little to no gains plinking off newbies in Cherno if zombies had a real chance of catching and killing him? I'm sure some people would still risk it, and that's fine, I wouldn't want them to be punished for making that decision, but it would become less prevalent. Meanwhile, organized bands of players would still be fine, they'd be able to handle more threatening zombies. Which is cool. Players who can organize like that don't deserve to be punished for it. They make the game scary, they make it fun. - A survivor who supports bandits' rights to bandit

If you're not looking for weapons/gear, why would you go crawling through the city in the first place? The tent stays on the server even after you log off, and other players can get into it, so be sure to hide it well.

It's what I've got, and I'd rather hand it off to someone who'll use it than abandon it in the woods. I never said I'd be a one-man hospital.

Hey guys, it's me again. This time I'm looking for the exact opposite of medical aid. In my solo journeys, I've accumulated far more than I'll ever need to use, especially since I play alone. What I'm getting at, is I'd like to help supply the medics. I have 9 bandages, food and soda to spare and an epi-pen. I'd really like to pass all of this on to a whitelisted medic. I'm currently in the north east, between Dolina and Msta. I'm willing to travel to meed a medic, but I'm going to be heading towards Berezino eventually.

Hey brother, thanks for the assistance, but I'm currently in contact with another medic, so feel free to cross me off your patients list. You already seem to be busy as it is. Thanks again, I'm genuinely grateful towards all of you.

Hey guys, s'me again. Just posting to make sure I'm not forgotten about. I understand you're busy and doing this out of the good of your hearts and I'm simply doing this to make sure my request isn't buried. I'm more than willing to wait until one of you is free up to help me. That being said, I'm currently north of the western part of Cherno. I was going to make a grand loop north towards Elektro for a smash and grab, but I'm a bit leery of doing that with half my health missing. I'm also hoping one of you would have some advice for a safe area I could migrate towards to better my chances of receiving medical aid. In backreading I saw that the majority of you are towards the center of the map. I may start heading that way. I'd appreciate any and all information you could give me. Thanks in advance.

I managed to get out of Balota without killing myself. In trying to find a safer position further north I wound up running in circles though, ended up on the edge of Cherno. Managed to get my canteen refilled at the very least. Still in need of a transfusion, but I'm in a much safer position in the woods north of Cherno instead of the middle of Balota.

That'd be about four in the morning my time, I wouldn't be able to make that I'm afraid.

Hey. I managed to fudge up a raid on Balota's military complex and lost half of my blood. I'm in desperate need of blood, but I know you guys don't do trips into Balota (and I don't blame you) so my question is to you, knowing I am where I am, where would be a good place to meet a medic? I've been looking at a map, planning my escape route from this damned town and I don't see a whole lot of nearby landmarks to flee to where I can receive aid. Where would you guys want me?

Even with 1.7.2.3 downloaded, I'm still getting this problem. Have been trying both white and grey servers and even going around Sixupdater to get into games, every attempt to join has ended with the neverending 'Wait for Host' screen.

Been trying to get into a game across multiple servers for the better part of half an hour now. Get stuck on the 'Wait for Host' screen every time with no progress. Any fix in sight?
