badger05 41 Posted August 1, 2012 1) Server hopping for loot needs to be fixed. It should be more mmo style where it's a bigger deal to switch servers. I think if you switch servers you should have a forced death or that character only exists on that server. Maybe even change it eventually so the game uses company hosted servers instead of player hosted servers. This makes it easier to prevent admin abuse and servers wouldn't be randomly wiped.2) Knock out mechanic makes for terrible pvp. You can still have 80% of your health left but die because the other guy randomly knocked you out for 30 seconds. I think some realism should be sacrificed here for good gameplay. I know that realism has been sacrificed before like with gun damage nerfs so don't tell me it hasn't. Otherwise this just encourages geared players to shoot you from 1.2kms away instead of actually engaging you face to face. I'm all for randomly passing out when you are LOW on health.3) Obviously a more nazi like anti cheating system needs to be put in place. It needs to be WAY easier to ban hackers like with a community vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDesigner 1197 Posted August 1, 2012 1. Yes, I agree with you.2. No, the knockout is a good mechanic. Although buggy, it deals with the alt-f4'ing nicely, since if you are unconcious and log out, you will still be bleeding no matter where you log in at.3. Yes, let's go find a genocide-committing anti-cheat engine, although I think they are quite rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broguenz 333 Posted August 1, 2012 Seeing as there is no pause button (and you normally get kicked for sitting in a lobby on busy servers) If I need to take a break from the game for even 5-10 minutes I shouldn't be punished for joining another server when I wish to play again. If I log out or get kicked for being idle I take the first slot I can on any of at least half a dozen servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That shouldn't be the only reason why it's a good mechanic to have.1081 wasted keystrokes.This stuff has been brought up about a hundred times already.

Shakakahn 23 Posted August 1, 2012 So hostile calm your jimmies. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.If you took what I said as being hostile I'm sorry. I don't usually put kissy faces or smiles in my posts. But seriously, there isn't enough "grease" to quiet all the squeaks this forum generates.Your post get's posted by someone new every hour or so. It's just old and tiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

necroslord 73 Posted August 1, 2012 Only time I get very frustrated with knock outs is when Im at about 6.5k blood, I let my guard down just a sec and a zombie hits me once and I fall down for about a minute or I don't know how much time, and ruins my life in one hit. That only happened once to me, I'm not saying it happens very often, but that one time got very frustrating. It's like zombies are easy, easy, and suddenly, one hit kill. Bad luck.

Bad luck.+1Extremely annoying when you're all geared up and then get a stupid one-shot knock out from a zombie. Should take a little more effort from a zombie than one hit to knock you out tbh. I feel like I always have to have more than 9k blood, else I'm screwed :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amaROenuZ 144 Posted August 1, 2012 I'm fine with Zs knocking me out.I'm fine with server hopping. (Just don't do it when I'm trying to kill you.)I'm not fine crushing my head when I try to open doors while prone. That one has bugged me for a while.
