Foogals, you need to bring the Shadow along!

I think this patch is much more realistic. You are highly visible during the day unless you take cover. Stick to walls and buildings. At nighttime they are nigh on blind.

The only Epic thing about this story is the fact you managed to type it.

We need to get a campfire going at night at Green Mountain and tell some more of these Ghost Stories.

Respawn and try play solo if you are so bored. Works for me.

Anymore strange goings on people?

My first life consisted of, WOW look at that huge crane i think i'll climb to the top, WOW what a view.....pfffffffffftttttttt! You Are Dead. I was hooked.

Makes me want to sing that Team America Song.

I think eventually you could have less loot per building but have more buildings to loot, if you get my meaning. That way you would have to widen your search for stuff instead of finding that one "sweet" building that had everything.

Ha! Remember when Zeds could hit you through walls and walk through objects.......wait a minute.......oh shit.

Does anyone remember the Bean Wars - made WW2 look like a Sunday picnic. Ah, these 'youngsters' dont know what it was like. But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya!

Ummm, you make a good point, let me think about this........No. It makes the experience that much more intense and finding your first weapon is a real accomplishment. If i had my way all Respawns would start with nothing apart from 1 bandage, a watch and your pants around your ankles!

Once found a heli crash right next to a deer stand during the 1.7.1 patch. There were Zeds everywhere and they kept respawning - it was like Atlanta from The Walking Dead.

Go at night. Unless someone has NVG's you have to be unlucky. I've been a few times and picked up some good loot but i've never done a run during the day. The tents are too open and there are sniper spots everywhere. Risk vs Reward, i'm afraid. For Military loot though i find Deerstands much better.

I dont understand the noob slaying mentality. What is the point? Killing someone fully equiped and geared up maybe but not the poor noobs. You know one day i am going to place a tent on a coast somewhere and load it with DMRs - a gift to newbies from Satan Claws.

Good on you. I try and use a different tactic every respawn and i have found that my most enjoyable moments have been when i didnt have much equipment. I found that carrying too much good gear makes you a prime target and ultra paranoid. i just hope Rocket gives us an option to go maked because i really want to do a nude run through Cherno with an axe.

You are right - some of the most enjoyable times are to be had at Respawn where you have nothing to lose. I found a hatchet once and tried to see how many Zeds i could take out before being killed. Ran into Elektro and had a ball. Got about 40 odd before i broke my leg. I even saw one gun toting player in a building run away from me. Either because of the Zombie train i had behind me or just because there is something unsettling about an axe wielding maniac running your way. Its good to mix up your playing style.

Next...

My protip for newbies. Play at night - Zeds can be easily bypassed (crouch walk/run) and you should be able to get some good loot before you try in the daytime. Raided Cherno and Elektro pretty easily with recent Respawns before heading up to some deerstands for a better weapon. Use flares as a Zed distraction but be watchful of attracting players. Also, go on a server (Veteran) where the floating names over players are off - nothing worse than hiding from a player and he shoots you just because he accidently rolled his cursor over you. Just have fun - some of my best times have been in the first 30mins of Respawning where you have nothing to lose. The paranoia only really sets in once you have some good gear!

Looks like we got a badass here. Shame about the fact that if they fire first you are most likely dead. I myself dont fire first (when playing as a survivor) and it is because of this i happen to die most of the time a player sees me. Them's the breaks - i am determined to see if someone wants to talk rather than fight. When i am playing as a Bandit though - different rules!

How about this one for a Hardcore game: Server starts - all loot spawns Loot taken by player - doesnt respawn ever The Loot Fairy Has Left the Building

I like this idea - the option to find eggs, honey, etc. Fishing has been suggested before but the possibilities are endless. Maybe you would require something like a lootable "Camp Utensils", so you can cook eggs and the like. Get a campfire going and cook a feast! Nice suggestion
