This is fucking weird, this happened to me today, I turned around and I don't know what made me notice it, but it was a bird just hovering there as if it was watching me...I tried shooting it, but it just kept hovering there and then hid in a tree. I got pretty paranoid, thinking it was a player on spectator with friends around.

You are extremely boring and uncreative...

I'm going to say this guy sounds legit, something extremely fucking weird like this happened to a group of 3 of us today...We were in pretty thick forest, didn't see anyone around, not on scan or anything, highly doubt we were "followed". Suddenly one guy just makes a noise, broken bone, bleeding. He goes under a tree heals and suddenly drops dead...Not one of the three of us once heard a gunshot of any type, or even the sound of a bullet, you can even hear silenced M4 shots most of the time so it didn't sound like a silenced weapon. He said there was no snap or anything like when you're shot to indicate he actually took fire. Also even if he died and there's a delay in sound over distance, wouldn't the remaining two of us still hear the sound since we were alive? Also the other two of us just never took any fire or any damage. If this is a glitch it needs to atleast be noted, cause it confused the hell out of us.

So is there going to be any explanation on DC'ing cause of server responses etc? Cause I usually have to do it anywhere from once to 10+ times depending on my luck...If this causes me to log in to a dead character then wtf?

Military rifles are rare? Wtf? AKM is common as hell, easy to find ammo, 1 hits zombies etc etc. The rest of the AK's, M4's and M16's are considered moderate. I found an AK74 Kobra, M16A2 and M16A2 M203 before I even came across a winchester...It's all about knowing where to go. Also lol, get into a firefight with a winchester vs someone with a Military automatic, I doubt you'll win.

First off I spawned inland but all my weapons etc were gone, goodbye DMR...Second time I spawned and it wasn't saving my Gear/location, third time I spawned I was magically bleeding etc. Fourth time I spawned it wasn't saving any gear I found, now it's not saving any of my gear, any location and on occassion randomly spawns me along the coast. Game is really fucked up now lol.

Yeah i'm now having ANOTHER error, where I log in on 200 blood, shaking, bleeding and like i'm in water, even though i'm in a building, can't move etc, and even when I die it just respawns me in that situation. Game is broken.

This patch can absolutely suck my fucking balls. 1, join a server to find that my Inventory/Weapons are completely gone, DMR, 5 DMR mags, Frags, bloodpack, PDW, PDW mags...Utter fuck up on the servers/patches side. 2. Decide to just get on with the game as it's refreshing, suddenly the games not saving any gear I find, so i've now just lost the M16A2 i've found, it saves my log out position but not my gear. Yes, I know this is an alpha but it's pretty irritating losing everything you worked to find in two seperate ways in one day.

It started as these. Opps Bandit: Basic bandit: It evolved into this now. Fucked up bandit: And i've done this recently for lulz, lure the guy out by lying then kneecapping him etc. Troll bandit:

When I first played I basically just made my way along the coast raiding town after town, this was past Elektro, I basically ended up in a horrible situation, low blood, blurry vision, made my way to a factory roof, popped a flare to signal for help only to turn around and see 7 zombies had climbed onto the roof...I just jumped. Second time around I explored with a group, Balota airffield etc, then ended up living in Elektro for 4-6 days, Can't even remember how many people I had to kill there, easily over 30 but it's where I got my first M4 and M1014 so I thought it was worth staying. After dying one day randomly in a bush by a freshly spawned noob, who didn't even bother to take my Automatic weapons and a PDW, only a pepsi, frag nade etc. I ran back to my corpse, grabbed everything and decided it was time to head inland, I already know where to easily get military grade gear, only place I could get better gear was NW airfield/Stary and also start to avoid the massive amounts of players. Now i'm just out there surviving.

Run through major cities popping flares left and right bro. But in all serious, it's nothing more than being patient/cautious when you're alone, in the end it could just be bad luck that someone spots and shoots/follows you, it's alot more relaxed running with a group cause you feel safer in numbers. Also making sure you have enough supplies. Basically I always make sure I have 1 food/water on me at all times, 5 mags for my DMR, Frag grenades and meds. Finding your way around is easy if you pick a route and follow it. It basically just comes down to being paranoid that another player has seen/is watching you.

Bad idea, if I need to go out/have other priorties in RL and need to DC in a hot zone, then that's utter crap if I come back to a dead character. I agree with what someone else said, it's my choice when and where I quit.

When I first started the game, I always went out of my way to help survivors, I was killed or left to die. Over the next few days I played I became a bandit from self defence, so you basically get shot at by everyone and anyone over a "skin" regardless if you're friendly. It's not a matter of not wanting to help, it's the matter of not wanting to lose everything you've worked for. So I shoot anyone on sight now, unless I feel they can be totally avoided, if there's even a chance of remeeting in a town and being shot, I just shoot them.

Agreed the temp system is beyond retarded at the moment, it's a good idea but it just doesn't work well atm...Running around in full gear in sunlight drops my temp to 70, what the fuck? I could understand if i was out in a rain storm for hours or swimming through freezing water, but this is just ridiculous.

I was using the M4A1 for awhile, that actually seemed pretty decent at close/medium ranges...I've found a DMR now so i've switched to that, although i'm trying to avoid survivors atm.
