Priority, Starting With No Gun Thoughts... [IMO]

[chibigoat 59]

#1 Priority: I think should be to fix the agro radius. It has made me not care about zombies, it seems to have had a negative affect. Rather than making me more weary of zombies I'm sprinting through towns because I know regardless of what I do zombies will be agroed and I can just relog to get them off me. No, I'm not "bad". I'm good at the game, it's basically impossible to get through a town without agroing a zombie now... regardless of how good you are. I probably won't be playing much until it's fixed, not a big deal, I have other games to keep me entertained and I know it's in alpha. Rocket is quick, I believe in him!

Starting with no gun is good. I understand some say it's difficult... which is true. This is done to make it more realistic. Spawn rates on weapons are increased and with the melee added + the hatchet being super common you should be able to get around fine... other than the agro radius issue.

If you see somebody with a gun, avoid them... not all that difficult. Pretty unlikely somebody will be able to hit you from 100+ meters away with a pistol and if they run after you their aim will be messed up. You may run into somebody with something a little bigger than a pistol.. oh well, run away. Plus, people are less likely to kill you if they can see you have no weapon... not necessarily because you're unarmed but because there's not much in it for them... other than losing ammo.

Make industrial buildings + barns your best friend, you'll be fine.
