The Burned Man

I usually try to talk first, shoot later, especially if the other player doesn't have a gun equipped. Exceptions are server hoppers, if I see someone logging in at a military spawn I shoot them.

Actually the frontal lobe isn't fully developed until the mid 20s. He might not have done it on purpose, but he drew the line at the stage the human brain develops cognitive maturity. Can't argue with science.

It's not even broken. I have found lots of loot on a full server without a restart and I don't do server hopping. Don't blame the game, blame yourself.

Because it's not broken.

I hope they will never go up, they ruined the mod, they went completely against all elements of the game. They had quick loot spawns, too many vehicles and removed night time. They attracted and kept a crowd that never wanted what the game was in the first place.

Interesting, when I go full brightness and gamma the game still looks like this

I prefer night time actually, the lack of colors and the lack of visibility add to the post apocalyptic feel.

On a full moon it is pretty much that bright anyway. Problem isn't the brightness you can turn up the brightness all the way and still see nothing as long as shadows are enabled. When you disable shadows you get what you see in OPs pic. So force enable shadows.

Happens on blood loss and illness.

Antibiotics stop bacteria from multiplying, some also kill them off. Your digestive system has symbiotic bacteria that do lots of things. Antibiotics will kill them off to, which usually leads to diarrhea. It doesn't matter if you really are sick or not.

Well that was what the game was originally about, before you came along with your hacks and your 24/7 daylight 5000+ vehicles spawn with a nuke servers. To answer your question, we got shot in the face over beans a lot, but not all the time.

This is PC gaming, if people can't deal with with huge amounts of content, there are always consoles. Who cares what the masses want? That was pretty much the design philosophy of DayZ. It's why I liked it, because as we can see now, the masses don't want a zombie apocalypse sim, they want 24/7 daylight 3rd person GTA with zombies and cheats enabled.

Excellent, when all the cheating scum finally get bored the game might become fun again.

The problem with this software is that it's a simulation, not a game. As a simulation it's very open to customization, which makes it easy for people to write scripts for it. Most "hackers" you run into are actually people that got mad at the game for some reason and bought scripts, so they could finally get that great gun they never find in cherno. Popularity is what killed the mod.

Well I'm taking a break until the next patch is out,because artifacts. Still it's an alpha, it has to be expected, I would even expect that kind of thing to happen in beta every now and then, probably because that's what betas were about before companies like EA turned it into early demos, by naming RCs betas. Just play something else until it gets fixed and then get right back into TESTING.

Nah that's exactly what the game is supposed to be, the only problem the game has now are hackers and server hoppers.

There are raiders in my apocalypse. Who would have thought?

And that is why sandbox gaming is superior to all the other crap nobody wants to play anymore. People make the stories, not some mediocre writer. Same as in DayZ. The more options rocket adds the more we will get to a similar point.

It's a sandbox game. Players shape the game, not some moral system. If you want to establish laws, get others that agree and start to enforce them.

I takes about 10 minutes to find a gun and while looking for it, new players learn essential skills for the game.

I have adopted the new policy of not shooting unarmed players at the coast. And that is something that could be useful, the ability to holster your weapons. That and a tweak on direct comm range and radios. Radios would be great.

It's an alpha and not a minecraft "you paid for something I might finish someday" one. You don't deserve anything at all. They can stop development if they feel like it at any time. They do not owe you anything. It's just like in the old days with quake mods or later sourcemods. You don't even get to play most mods in alpha stage.

Yeah I don't like it either, so I play on vet servers only. However I think it's wrong that it is available at all and goes against what the mod is trying to be. It should be removed. It instantly makes killing other players harder and also makes it harder to move around zombies, which is demanded in every second thread anyway.

I just was shot by a bandit an hour ago and lost everything. Now I have a 24 slot backpack, DMR, G17, blood, rangefinder, gps... I did shoot someone for it, but it took me about 10 minutes to find 2 rifles, 1 shotgun and a pistol. He also deserved it, damn respawn hunting bandit.

Yeah, no. If you want to play a coop zombie game play one of the many that are already out there. This is a sandbox simulation. No hand holding, no mercy, not made for pve players. This game is shaped by the players and not by design rules.
