RPG to take down a helicopter? Maybe if it was landed and not moving, otherwise, you've been watching too many movies and playing too many games. :P The American's had a presence, so I don't see why their weapons shouldn't. I'd rather the RPG be added in addition to the m134, then they could each have unique characteristics/attributes. (RPG is reloadable, m134 is disposable, etc)

The new inventory system that the UI artist has allows for hotkeying, solving the problem of super slow weapon swapping.

I seriously doubt the OP meant literally holding the empty container up in the rain. If you had some kind of a capture device (waterproof blanket of some kind, large leaves, etc) you could set it up to capture a lot of rain and could fill a waterbottle type thing in 15-30 minutes in medium rain, and probably just a few minutes if heavy rain. I think you should have to find a different object. Find a waterbottle? Cool. Find a "Water capture device" of some sort, awesome, now when it rains you can capture water. Maybe you have to set it up and leave it somewhere. But I seriously think this should be added in some capacity.

My only worry with no more debug is blood. The 'color of the droplet' is a godaweful way of measuring that. I think in addition to changing color, it should lower/fill based on your health. At 50%? The droplet is half full with mid-red blood. Alive and good? The droplet is full of green. Etc.

I agree that a melee slot is needed. Too many times I've had to throw my rifle on the ground to pull out my hatchet, instead of just slinging it on my shoulder like I should be able to.

There are plenty of ways to prevent multi-character ghosting, and I think multiple character would be really good. It would benefit 90% of players, while (If safeguards are made) hurting nobody.

Duping/hackers aren't the only reason to do a clean up. This is in Alpha, it's good practice to wipe everything so you can get clean fresh results while developing a game. I'm really surprised that Rocket hasn't done a wipe yet... Honestly I think he should do them Monthly. (or something)

Is this for serious? Wanting to suggest something or report a bug: Fine. Mad at game for being buggy in early Alpha stages: Wat.

The only real argument I see against this is "The hackers will keep hacking and dupers will simply redupe." That may be so, but it's good practice to wipe during alpha's and beta's. Who knows what other issues that's causing. Every single alpha/beta I've been part of wipes on a regular basis, the fact it's been two months (For me personally) and no wipe, is incredibly surprising. I think a wipe is needed to clean things and reset stuff. If you don't want to loose all your progress then wait until the game goes standalone. (At which point a wipe during that would be unacceptable, unless extreme circumstances went into play)

For closing the backpack, also save it's open/closed state when the inventory is closed. If I hit G and close my inventory, with the backpack open, the next time I hit G the backpack should remain open. That would allow me too always have the backpack open and in view (Whenever the inventory is open) if I want too. :)

Rocket has stated that this will be added within the next few updates. (So possibly still months away?)

There you go, brilliant! That fixes the issue without forcing it into another place.May I simply request one additional feature? (Which may or may not already exist) When you move the backback, then close it, please have the game remember it's last position. If I move it to the top left part of my screen then close it, please have it reopen in the top left of my screen. Otherwise every time I open it I'll have to move it to wherever again. :)

Humanity carries over? Well fuck me. The first day that 2.5 was out I already spawned with -19000, despite having not killed someone for a very long time, and those people being a group of bandits that attacked us... I figured 'oh I'm already a bandit might as well act like one' so I hunted people until I died. Figuring it would restart. I guess I dug myself in deeper. Fuck.

Anyone know how to host a server that isn't on the hive at all? Me and my friend just wanna play without the constant barrade of hackers, and bandits fueled by hackers. :( [Off-topic by a large margin.]

I'd actually rather when the game goes standalone that they just make 100% of building enterable. I was incredibly annoyed at first that I'd sneak up to a house only to find that I couldn't go inside. Now I know which ones you can and can't, but if eventually they all had interiors that would be ideal.
