Seeing as there is absolutely no point to this thread, I have no qualms with closing it. Why don't you discuss New Player-y things that will benefit the game, like you suggested in your post?

Turtle beach headsets do the trick for me.

There are newb help guides you can read in the New Player Discussion forum that help with basic questions like this. To answer your question in order of effectiveness; canned food

Yeah, yeah, we get it. You have complaints against the complainers. You can discuss game mechanics, the implementations of said mechanics, philosophy of the mod's design, psychological impact of the game, suggested features (although there is a separate forum for those things) and all the little minutia. But please, don't complain about other people just to complain. We get enough of that around here. Thanks for understanding. -Ubi

You and I have different ideas on what natural selection is then.

The hero we deserve but not the one we need.

Instead of seeing this as a way of punishing bandits, think of ways to offer alternatives to becoming a bandit. Rocket has stated quite clearly he doesn't want to add game mechanics that punish certain play styles. At the same time, I would think he doesn't want one particular play style to be dominant because of its perceived value. Closed because the topic has been discussed before.

Gameplay wise I don't see them changing this. You're supposed to value your life and that value forces you to access risks and rewards that wouldn't have the same impact if you had another profile waiting for you. Plus the abuse with hoarding supplies on a "slave alt" would just ruin the experience. Too many exploits; don't see it happening.

Troll topic. Game is in alpha: skin color not relevant nor priority for inclusion.

You can submit bug reports and suggestion threads for consideration. Rocket takes it all into account but at the end of the day, it's his design. Closed as there is nothing really to discuss on the matter.

No evidence. Wrong forum. Closed topic.

Already taken care of.

Yeah unfortunately it merges them based on timestamp instead of having all the replies merged in one chunk.

I think you're looking at the issue from your highly geared perspective. Flatly increasing zombie damage/health only serves to make new player runs harder than they should be. (By that I mean a person should survive mainly based on their will, cunning, and patience, not that there were extremely lucky to spawn near a barn with AKM and mags.) A more thoughtful approach needs implementation so that it still challenges the high geared players without snuffing out any chance for someone new. Don't restrict without giving options. For example, making matches limited would force even the most outfitted groups to raid bases and towns to recover matches/food to ward off starvation, risking them to Zed or human intervention. But this doesn't necessarily impact the new player as heavily since they are likely living from bean can to bean can. Zombies are just window-dressing, they shouldn't always be the go-to modifier when determining difficulty. Higher level players tend to survive longer because they don't need to take risks that the lower/fresh players need to.
