Really? then ive missed on two heli's :(

Perhaps a system like League of Legends has (not played in ages) but i believe upon leaving a match a player couldnt join another for 15 minutes with this effect doubling upon each further disconnect (30, hour, 2 hour etc). This system does seem brutal of course, everyone has a life and may have to disconnect from time to time but if you think about it, people will think wisely before leaving knowing that they will have to wait to play again (not like waiting for server response doesnt do that job for us anyway ;) joking) It will also fix the full server problem i mean, why should someone be allowed to disconnect and reconnect when other people are desperately trying to get into it too, if you disconnect you should lose the right to join for a few minutes letting new players into the server. I know what your thinking now "well i'll just not disconnect then, ill stay at the player screen or just afk in a safe spot ingame until i come back" add a force kick to players who have not moved in the last 15 minutes

He's right, after you play a while you'll learn the towns and the best approach into town, im not going to march into stary sobor from the opposite side of town to get to the military camp at the north of it. im going to sweep around the north west side using the treeline as cover then head south into the camp, i could also swoop round the SE of the town but then my butt would be exposed because of the open fields. Before entering a place with more than 3 houses, whip out you binoculars and scope it out, find out where your going to enter and leave, locate the safest enterable building to lead zombies into to get rid of safely and efficiently. If your being shot at, your not north enough, get out of cherno/elektro ya damn noob, there aint no bandits at my devils castle

Worst thing i probably did was unintentional really, i decided that for a laugh i would climb the smoke stack nexto the elktro power station and stand at the top, i stood there saluting the world and throwing flares to get my position, eventually people began to crawl out of their holes and start saying Global chat conversation between 2-3 guys; "powerplant friendly?" "powerplant flare friendly?" "you on the tower" "he's saluting" "whats he doing up there" "he's saluting ive got sniper scope" "probably enjoying the view" "bandit or not?" "no survivor" Surely enough this global chatter attracted every bandit within 3000 metres, i eventaully got sniped by someone with a silenced weapon, some people vowed to avenge their silent saluter and so ensued a 30min sniper war over the hills around elektro with approx 15 people in the area, i respawned a few times and kept bringing zombie trains into the mix for more chaos. Was pretty fun.

Im having the same problem right now, came here to post my own topic when i saw this. Dunno whats going on really i was playing last night.

Hospital in cherno i think, hospital in elektro, field hospital south of balota airfield and one field hospital near the largest factory in cherno and another near the big building in stary sobor. Thats all i know.

i always imagined i would use a radio to create distractions, like somehow remotely turning it on after strategically placing it on the other side of town, it'd be preety damn loud so all zed's would run for the sound leaving you free to quickly loot the town before the batteries died etc. I saw a topic about some player supposedly finding a "radio" already ingame giving off sounds like radio numbering then another guy claiming these numbers were coordinates to hunting towers, however believable that may be it led me to the idea that you should be able to broadcast a position or message (which would mark itself on your map providing you have one) so that survivors can group up easily. It could also be used by bandits as a sort of ambush aswell you gotta be carefull. It sure would be nice to have direct communication with someone in game at a distance "privately" though as not everyone uses vent or skype or teamspeak when playing.

Get crippled by zombie think its ok im in a town im sure to find morphine sometime. NOTHING SPAWNS crawl 2k to airfield looting every building on the way, find nothing. Get to airfield nothing here either Threw myself off the roof of the air control tower is disgust

This new skin ideas really interests me, i would really love certain skins such as military, officer or even priest.

You know i found it a pretty good review, it showed gameplay, but not buggy gameplay sure i could tell the character got stuck in the doorways in elektro bank but it had good footage and a good commentator, one gripe is that the main guy kept butting in when the other guy was speaking and the other guy was actually saying some interesting stuff and the guy would say something daft and then there would be a pause. So just fix the scripting maybe of the reviews so that noone talking over each other and it'd be pretty good i would watch another.

I heard that the game follow the real lunar cycle and so explaining why it has been dark on servers the past couple of days, not sure if this is true or not.

I am infact a mere bandit on the mend, trying to gain my humanity back, if it proves unsuccessful and i must kill again you will make a fine trophy sir, i just hope your smarter than the other prey.

Respawning as a bandit is a stupid idea, especially when people want to try the truly good and the truly evil paths with all the people on these forums going on about teamwork im yet to discover it, being new and a bandit straight away ive played solo exclusively for a week now. One way to truly solve this would be to add 2500 back to a players score upon a new life meaning those who became bandits out of self defence are given a clean slate whilst the truly evil mass murderers will still remain a bandit as their score is usually in the tens of thousands

reading this is quite fun, if you were to pm me details of your common visited servers id be more than happy to become your deputy i say pm because certain bandits on this server would love to place your carcass on their mantle as a trophy

I don't see how you got bad reception last time Harry that response is very reasonable and i also would like to see the ironsightsl
