Zombies should only die by Headshot, and not being shot into body. PERIOD!!! !!!!!WE-WANT-IT-HARDCORE!!!!!

I always tried to avoid big cities, as I got usually shot in there by other players, and when finally got to some supermarket or hospital, never found anything useful there anyway, as it was all looted by previous players... so I decided to go somewhere else, less populated areas and stuff

exactly, in town, you can find many 'friendly' players, who wont shoot you for as long as 1) they dont have weapon 2) they have better equipment than you 3) see that you dont have a weapon, therefore you are no threat to them...

whats the deal? in real life, you can clearly see if the guy got eaten by zeds... or shot by someone

happened to me once, I was sitting in hospital, waiting for a friend to rejoin, as he had to reboot his PC, clearing out my inventory, suddenly, BLAM, and I was on some sort of field, where there was few bushes around, and there was roughly another 20-30 players too, all somehow shocked, everyone just started running away, to closest bushes/forest to take cover... once I have heard gunshots, I was like 'Ok, now I am screwed and I am gonna die' to TS, then a friend told me to log off asap, so I did... after a while I decided to log back in, expecting the worse, that I'll have no gear, will be somewhere in middle of nowhere, and will need to find my way out.. Well guess what, after logging in, I was again in the hospital, BUT I had some items that I threw away from my inventory some time ago, and I had no medical equipment which I picked up in the hospital... not sure what happened and why...

have my beans, this is how it should be played...

For me, the important thing is, if players can hear it, I dont care about zombies - those are not a problem, and once you have enough ammo, you can just get rid of most of them... the problem is Player hearing your gunshots, going after you then... thats what scares me :huh: <_<

too much hassle, not worth it Well, I guess if anyone tries to make his own fortress, he'd close that ones too :)

Or trying to make the store unaccessible from outside - I just wonder how that fella gets out, if he blockes all entrances

You are right... but next time, lets park it somewhere in barn or farm, nobody ever visits those places...

Happened to us just yesterday, had to kill whole town, coz they were chasing us for really at least 500m, maybe even more

Well, if I remember correctly where we hid it, we didnt choose any good spot either... I am afraid that someone will be just saying your Quote at us:D

Exactly, never give up, this is your life and your story - and best story curves comes when you are near death and start risking coz you think you have nothing to loose - nevertheless there is an option of trying to call for help - on forums or ingame, there are many samaritans, who will just risk their lives in order to give you a transfusion, and they ask nothing in return... edit: Well, calling for help another player can be also pretty risky - but as you are thinking of suicide, I guess you have really nothing to loose...

lol, funny:D I though he would try to snipe them off with whisky bottles:D

You should try that once, its real fun!:D

They should leave ALT+F4 working just fine, but keep the player logged in for 30 secs, as its in other 'mainstream' MMO's most of players would think twice before doing this, also when you are hitting abort, it should open window with 30seconds countdown... this solution would prevent players not getting saved their progress sometimes. I went into supermarket, and it was to late, I had to go to work day after, so I said thats last thing I am gonna do, picked up binoculars, map, matches, some ammo, food and water, and logged out. Day after when logged in, I had no items and supermarket was empty too. I think it was because, I have picked up items, but client didnt sync with servers and then when I logged in, servers thought I have no items on me...

Now, I just wonder, those vehicles, are those generally broken to be found, and you need to fix em, or you can find already fully working vehicle?

<<<Same world, Same time, Different place....>>> Woke up at the beach, having no memory of anything, could not even remember my name, all I had was a backpack with some bandages, flash light, painkillers and dog tag with Zheiko written on it, guess that's my name... looked around, and saw a road, well, what else to do, I just decided to follow that road... it soon got me into town, called Prirogodky, or at least that's what the banner said.. after quick look around I have noticed some strange looking people walking around and making these weird noise, screeching and, it was just horrible, I tried to contact one, and came by, when this guy, just suddenly started chasing me, I got scared, so I turned around and ran as fast as I could. Cannot remember how far I ran, but it seemed that I got safely away from this psycho. I didn't know how far I ran, or where I was, so I decided to keep same direction and keep going, until I find something that might tell me where I was. After quiet long walk, when I decided to stay in forrests, that its gonna be easier, I arrived to some small village with few buildings, there were these psychos again, they actually looked like walking dead... I managed to crawl arround them, and in one of the buildings I found hatchet, some beans and empty bottle, and of course some empty cans, which were of no use for me. I was really thirsty already, so I had to fill the empty bottle. Before I entered this house, I noticed that there was water pump outside, so I was praying for the pump to be working, and that the water wont be contaminated. Got my bottle filled up, and decided to keep going. Sun was getting higher, so I assumed, that it was morning hours when I woke up, but had no idea what time it was. Decided to keep going same directions, and avoid roads, because I might be easy target there, and as far as I found out yet, nobody was friendly yet, so being careful rather than sorry. After few hours of walk, I have finally found another town, this one had a church, and I thought to myself, what a irony. There was a farm, so I decided to go inside, and see what I could find, and I was lucky, I found a Winchester rifle with plenty of ammo, some more food, some coke and bandages, that might get handy. when I was leaving the building, I have heard some gunshots, so was very carefully going through the town, and I thought to myself, that there is probably another survivor, and that if we meet up, we might get friendly. But that didn't just happen, I haven't seen anyone, and got into some kind of barn, where I got some more supplies that might get handy later on. Not much to do there, so I decided to keep going same way, when leaving the town I noticed it was called Staroye. Too bad I had no map and didn't know where I was. I found also some deerstands, had to change direction a little, but it was well worth it, I found M24 with very good scope, and few bullets in it, left Winchester there and smiling, leaving that place. I have passed some other village of unknown name, and found nothing in there, and reached some kind of factory - that was very usefull, because I found a hunting knife there and some more useful stuff. From the roof of the factory, I saw another deerstand, so decided to go there, found nothing useful, except... with my m24 binoculars, I have seen some village, and there was a supermarket there, I though to myself, BINGO, there should be a lot of things there, but something just had to go terribly wrong... when I was trying to get to the village, I have heard another gunshots, it seemed that we probably had same way with another guy, if it was the same, I have however not seen anyone again. Bad luck, when I was trying to get to the town, one of the Zombies noticed me, ran towards to me and bit me. I was bleeding, pretty bad, so took my chances with M24, killed him. But quickly I realised what mistake have I done. The gunshot must have been heard miles away.. and so it was. Suddenly I noticed about 10 Zombies sprinting towards to me, and I though I am going to die... I was still bleeding pretty badly, so started shooting one by one, as it had no reason now to just run, killed them luckily all, bandaged myself, and passed out... <<< At that point, that was first time I logged off, thinking I am pretty screwed, no ammo in my weapon, 3.5k of blood, blurry vision, and no chance getting into town. Went on forums, for some tips how to get help, when xWildChild wrote, that he's in Berezino, and that he has two blood bags, and that he too, needs a blood transfusion, we got on skype and managed to set meeting point>>> When I came back concious, I could not see anything, I rushed to the small forest on the hill that I have seen, because that could give me some protection, and went through the forrest keeping same direction, and I have came to another deer stand, and few zombies around. In my condition, I wasnt really able to reach it, and check what is in there, so I decided to go arround, and at that point I saw another guy, he had a gun, I though he might help me, so I rushed towards to him. I was dying anyway, and he was my last chance to survive, then at certain point, I saw him change direction, aiming his weapon, heard gunshot, he got hit, and he shot back... my heart was racing, I had no idea what happened, but he fell down, could not see anyone in there. I though, this is it, this guy is dead, and there is most probably another guy, who is just hunting for another players... well, I am dead, thats for certain... I crawled to this guy, and noticed that they actually shot each other, and both bled out. Checked what they had on themselves, took what I might have needed, my heart still racing, afraid, that there might me more of them, and ran back to the forest. <<<On skype, with this guy who died, he offered to me to just take his stuff, and play, that he will start all over again, but cmon, this fella just died trying to help me, I was still at 3.5k blood, and needed blood infusion. I have taken his backpack, his rifle(mine was of no use any more without ammunition) and told him, to try to get to my location after he re spawns, that I would bring him all his things that I could carry, including his guns.>>> So I decided to go back, to the barn, I got map, and compass from the dead bodies, so that helped me incredibly to know where I am finally. Rushed back through the forest, with all those things, I had no joy of, these were bloody things, I could not just keep them and leave. I had to find the guy who sacrificed himself for me to live, even tho he didn't know me. We met at a barn, I gave him back all his items, and since he was injured by some zombies, we made a fire and made some chicken steaks. He gave me Blood transfusion and healed me. We decided to travel together. This incident just made us both to trust each other, and that we can rely on each other. I never though this might happen, he was quiet handsome too... Ah silly me... After we finished our steak, we decided to go check the bodies, if we can manage to get more stuff. On the way there we found two tents, and got very careful, because we knew there might me someone. And it was two tents, that basically meant if the guy whom he killed lived there, he wasn't alone, runing through the forest, I though I have heard a gunshot, so shouting "get down!", we lied down immediately, breathing heavily and checking around if I can see anyone. Well, after a while, I just realised it might have been a bird, so we decided to continue walking. I haven't told him it might have been a bird that scared me, he might laugh at me... After while, we reached those dead bodies, picking up all we could, and hiding those bodies, in case anyone would be around, we didnt want them to know we are here. We headed to the nearest town, as far as my mate told me, there was hospital and supermarket so we managed to get more healing supplies, weapons and all sorts of important things. We decided to get some sleep there too, as we were hidden and it was warm in there, and outside was getting dark. At the morning, we decided to head to some military base, he said we will find some great supplies in there, probably better weapons and such. It seemed like a great idea, so we headed to beach and down south. Again, on south.. We got to one town, and there was plenty of zombies, we were crawling around trying not to get their attention, when one of them noticed us. We tried to shoot him off, but more just came, so we decided to run for life... there was maybe 10 of them behind us, so I told him to run to the closest bush and hide there, and I will drag the rest of them further away and do the same nearby. Then suddenly I heard him scream, and I though, that's it, he's dead, I have to make it on my own, ran through the bush, and laid down, got rid of the zombies and went back to the beach, and I saw him. One of the zombies just ran over him, and stepped on his leg, fracturing it. But the zombie didn't notice him(those creatures are really dumb, luckily). We met up again, and decided to keep going further, when we saw a huge factory like building, he said that its Cherno already. I believed him, because I have never been there and I just let him to watch the map, and lead the way. Well, we found out, after almost an hour that we have no clue where we are, and that it was not Cherno... could not be... when we finally realised where we are and where to go next, we decided we are too tired to continue on our journey, and we headed to sleep. Lets hope it wont be raining, as we have no tent. <<to be continued>>

So, I just got my a** kicked by roughly 15 zeds at same time, survived with 3.5k blood, now, I cant see, as everything is blurred, so I need a help and restore my blood as soon as possible, I might hunt some poor animal, coz I've heard steaks restore most blood, but I didnt find matches yet(have hunting knife and even hatchet for cutting trees) and in my current status being more or less dead, I cannot really go into grocery store to get anything... so how can I get myself healed the fastest? Having anyone giving me blood would be great idea, but I am paranoid, just dont trust that any stranger would give me his blood, and I don't have any myself:(

I am actually at Polana, thats very close

Hi medic crew! ashamed, but got ripped off by pretty large group of zombies, depleted all my ammo, and barelly survived with 3.5k blood, is there anyone near Polana that could offer some Blood bag? Would be great, thanks!

Great, so how do I contact them? directly on their forum?

What is the price of calling for medics? Hard to say if its worth saving - for me it defo is spent already some time with this char...

Have the same problem tho, AMD Phenom x4 940@3.0ghz GTX 560Ti 1gb@900mhz 4gb DDR2@800mhz And stil, resolution 1920x1080 in both, interface and 3D AA off, everything else on max - no matter what I set it on, the performace will not increase, and I am getting about 35fps in wilderness and small towns, and drops down to 15fps in bigger towns(measured with FRAPS). The fact that changing any graphic settings makes me believe that the problem is not with GPU, but the CPU is slowing me down, I might OC it to 3.4-3.6ghz, but currently I have only stock heatsink, so I dont think it'd be good idea... Well, any other ideas how to improve my performace would be essential EDIT: I have read somewhere that some of the AO beta patches should somehow increase performance about 100%, but cannot find the thread now, anyways, installed today latest beta patch, and performance did not get better.

How do I tell someone I am friendly - or would love to be, if they shoot me from behind - bush, without me knowing about them? Just ran yesterday around, thinking I am alone, biggest mistake, I can tell ya... just started shooting Zeds that were in way, which probably brought attention of this guy, who just oneshotted me...
