There's still gonna be way to farm without hopping. Imo after issues like indestructible weapon-manufacturing tents, duping via backpack and so on, are dealth with, the loot spawn system needs to be redone completely and server hopping, not just for loot, is whole problem on its own. I wouldnt mind if all servers had private hives or at least your position would be saved locally on every server.

The fact that they are so random makes them somewhat hard. Making their aggro completely predictable would make zombies boring like enemies in some stupid mmorpg. Zombies should also be able to attack while running without the need to stop and hit way f'king harder. Right now its so easy just to ignore them. It would make pvp in towns way more fun. Now you can usually just ignore them or tank some hits until the other guy is dealt with. When you aggro a zombie it should be primary threat. Increase their hitpoints, make them hit for 1k blood and go a bit slower - fun zombies. Oh and make altf4-ing when being attacked by zombies outright kill you. Zombies sometimes kill fast, sometimes slow and the c*nt still could survive even though his body would be there for a while.

If you would have disabled alt+f4, but having instant process kill macroed to a key = would give beans for trolling :D

Here in Czech. rep both policemen and civilians are restricted to carry ball ammo, JHP is for some retarded legal reason forbidden. Everybody is mad about it, but you know.. gubbermint. What policemen are issued with is S&B 115gr 9mm FMJ, not exactly the best round for the job. Yep the bigger bullet the better. Mak is .03 or maybe .3 mm (forgot which exactly) thicker but that doesnt make a difference I guess. From what I researched it seems that there are some sweet mak loads as well but when comparing standard fmj ammo the luger is stronger, you're right. And yep, .357 is a sweet cartridge, superb performance and still very manageable. Some pistols are chambered for it too but I finally discovered the beauty of revolvers after hating them for a long time so I'm probably gonna get me one of those babies in .357 :) And for the mak ingame: it definitely should do less damage than other handguns, but I wouldnt implement it by making it even weaker as it is now, but by making other guns stronger. Its not the most powerful caliber around but its still a gun and not a BB gun :D

I have similar experience. Me and my friend grabbed some parts from our server and went to random server to skalisty to recover a chopper and do stupid random stuff with it around cherno but my friend got killed when AFKing next to the chopper while I was going there so we assumed that he wasnt killed by zombies but players trying to recover the chopper too and we reequipped properly. Long story short, we unleashed hell and the chopper survived about 30 handgrenade explosions :D Everything was red, but the hull was green. But it was totally worth it, the chopper was fullly repaired before that :D

Not like its easy to hit something with mounted guns when on the move but theres also a version without the gun. It could be a toptier vehicle with rare spawn because it has good stats I think, pretty durable. Probably has some light armor.

Yep thats pretty important too. FMJ versus other types, especially JHP and such. But its safe to assume that most of the ammo in game is FMJ. Maybe the 1911 could be using nonjacketed lead rounds to have some extra damage (more deformation i think). And yes with rifle rounds, the velocity impacts how they fragment or tumble, but I was pondering about handguns. Tumbling/fragmentation with standart FMJ .45 9x19 9x18 does not occur very often I think. But the effect on living targets could be debatable. When shooting steel plates - sure, the more energy the better it will go down, because it will never penetrate and transfer all of the energy. But with a pissed off guy it could be a different story. I never tried shooting anything living or dead with a handgun :D but the standart police ammo issued here is 9x19 FMJ and from what they say it sounds like it does full penetrations sometimes without immediate effect on target and it still has enough energy to ricochet like crazy and some of them are using bought subsonics or handloads, but I'm not sure if its to increase the wounding or reduce the chance to ricochet. So the 9x18 maybe isnt that bad vs unarmored tissue, but it has to suck when shooting through car windshield etc I imagine.

I have no 100% reliable source, nor did I shoot the 5.45 (did 5.56), but I think the difference is not that big, can you elaborate? Agreed on the barrel length. And the makarov vs 9x19... I'm not exactly an expert but IMO just simple physics can't cover the whole problem of damage done to tissue. AFAIK high velocity can sometimes mean clean in and out penetration without much damage unless vital areas are hit but low velocity can mean that bullet is not leaving the body, thus transferring all of the energy on target. Simply put i'm not sure if similar bullet + more gunpowder = more damage.

Huey can hold 7 passengers and I already have two guys that would do it + myself so that is 4 people to find. Luckily ~12 other guys play with us, so I just need to get somebody reliable to pilot the thing instead of me, convince others to stop being tryhards and do something more entertaining than camping the same goddamn hill with a sniperrifle for hours + get a spotter on the ground, but that won't be a problem. Elektro is probably the best place to do this. Plenty of snipers camping the two hills, constantly giving away their positions by spamming shots into the city. I just hope that the sniper wont be in the middle of a forest because I'd like to have at least one axeman survive the landing :D

Yep, arma physic at its finest aka complete randomness and buglolz :D I'm planning on equipping entire parachute squad with just hatchets and drop them on a sniper when there's gonna be one reported (the server we play on still has global chat) and record the whole thing :D. But I need to get some of the srs-bsns people from our group to stash away their duped AS50s and sh*t.

:) ejecting with parachute sometimes work, sometimes dont. First guy to try it in our group was a typical joker that doesnt take the game very seriously (best attitude). I was piloting and somebody was joking about trying out the parachute and said him to jump, so just to be sure I looked over my shoulder and his seat was empty :D He died a quick death. But then I was picking up ppl at Cherno for lols and these two guys wanted to drop at the Black mountain so I began to carefully land between the trees and suddenly one of them jumped out. We were pretty close to the ground already so his chute barely opened and it crashed into trees as he was plumeting down, flailing around wildly. I thought he's dead for sure but nope. Perfectly fine and happy :D

IMO 5.45 should be on par with 5.56, 1911 doing slightly more dmg than a 9mm (is fine atm). But what I really hate are .50cal sniper rifles. Guy who can do a headshot at ~600m with an M24 with first shot has my respect, bodyshotting somebody with a duped lazorgun is lame as hell tho. Thermal L85 shoudnt be in the game too. After more than a month of using it I can say its OP as ****.

Cheers man, found it!

Can you guys be more precise? I know that the island isnt big and I spent a lot of time looking in there but I really want to be sure I didnt missed it. Thx

Well you still could just do suicide-by-zombie or make them shoot you :D

So far all my PvP deaths (not counting bugs/lag) were caused by mistakes. Being careless, underestimating your enemy, not enough recon/observing, bad positioning, bad RoE, being impatient and so on... You know, military stuff. The core game of the mod is a milsim so that makes sense. Go to a high traffic area, find a good vantage point with cover and sit there waiting for your target for HOURS = valid tactic both IRL and ingame. However I don't know where the fun is in that as its effortless and not always rewarding. Having to use actual tactics and think on the move is much more fun, but you'll die to campers and there's not much you can do about them. But I don't care much. I was having fun for an hour meanwhile this guy was sitting here scratching his butt the entire time. I win. Also I found myself having this bad habit: The more better equip I have the more cocky and careless I feel. Forgetting that a bullet to the head is still a bullet to the head and not even the best rifle is going to make you invincible if you're careless and if you get into bad situation, your leet equip is just as good as the starting gear. Unlike in RPGs where good gear vs starting gear usually results in stupid dmg calculation where you can basically fall asleep during combat and the guy with low lvl won't be able to kill you during that day :D That said, I'd like to add that I ragequitted after I died to a winchester after controlling the lives and movement of every player in a kilometers radius around airfield with my L85 with thermal and night vision :/ Got impatient with looting and forgot to scan enough.

Simple. Display a warning and "continue yes/no" dialog when you're going to spawn really close to somebody. I had to kill two people today just because they warped in my face. Some other guys raged in chat they got killed before they could even take control of their chars. Yes you should log off in safe locations but nowhere is really safe and logoff still doesnt reliably save your pos. f.e. I got killed before I could even see and I was in some random forest near Dubrovka. Now I got killed after some good killstreaks and days of surviving because my position didnt save and I got for some reason warped back into town where I was ~5mins before that and again.. got shot before the loading text faded out.

Yep. A lot of these incidents occur with serverhopping people. The guy I shot spawned in one of the tents in S. Sobor and other one in a mall. However how would you implement that? Deny the spawn totally or use a script to find 2x2 clear flat piece of terrain, preferably near bush or in a forest with m distance from the guy interfering with your logoff spot in the direction opposite of guy-logoff spot.

I bear with the OP. Lots of people crazily obsessed with guns in games/movies calling out bullshit about how weapons work based on their virtual experience. My most favorite #1 retarded "fact" is that a whole damn round travels to your target instead of just a bullet. Saw it so many times in movies :D

IMO if the sex change will be permanent, it's gonna encourage reflecting your real sex only on paper and for that reason people will switch to female more often than ever because it's gonna be supposedly believable and I'm pretty sure female chars won't be shot on sight also for that reason. Don't introduce female chars at all, its gonna get abused.

There's always gonna be a way around this. Especially for players in groups, they'll just pick up your stuff and give it back to you after you return.

I tried "V"ing over barded wire once. Instant bloodloss, broken leg and knocked out for a while. Not trying again anytime soon.

EDIT: deleted. didnt read your post properly :)

Getting slightly bored with longterm survival now, our group would like to find some vehicles but it seems 99% of the servers don't have them. After days of walking across the whole map back and forth we found nothing. We were desperate enough to lower to serverhopping multiple confirmed vehicle spawn locations including those lesser known (not posted anywhere on forums), kept asking people as we hopped but nope. No signs of vehicles on majority of european servers we visited. So if you know about a server where vehicle spawns are working and admins can keep them working, please post it here. To start off I remeber that someone on EU3 supposedly found a repairable vehicle yesterday but I had no luck finding any. The server is pretty old I guess so it could be some #*@$% clan with heli radar stealing everything and putting it deep behind the edge of the map..

I used to play on these servers, they had an admin competent enough to keep the servers working most of the time, including vehicles and tents, I never ever had to wait longer than few second on any stage of logging in/loading, compared to most of the servers which are just plain rubbish barely working. But now I'm unable to connect :(
