Several Misc. Suggestions

[Pomegranate 83]

1. I'd like to see a flare gun added to the game. The flare gun would be a rare find, and would have somewhat rare ammunition. The flaregun and ammunition would be found in lighthouses, the large abandoned ship, and inside the small rowboats that can sometimes be found scattered around. The advantage of the flare gun over the road flares is that the flare gun can be shot high up into the air to signal messages. Once the flare is shot up into the air, it slowly falls back down to the ground and then extinguished after five minutes. The flares' colors could be alternated to give a different signal. A red flare means that help is needed below the flare. A yellow flare means caution: danger nearby. A green flare means friendly. A blue flare means cautious / unfriendly - stay away!

2. I think that there should be a "veteran" server where only players that have 20+ hours of game time on the servers can play. People may want to join this server where the gameplay is more professional therefore more refined, and they want nothing to do with the silly bean wars that exist with new players on other servers. The more skilled players here may also want to play with higher difficulty, so the zombie count should be increased.

3. I also think that the sounds of guns should be increased so that guns feel more powerful when being fired. It would also make the dense cities feel more of warzones and let survivors know of fighting going on a kilometer away. It would make weapons like pistols, crossbows, and empty bottles more useful because they are alternatives to getting rid of the zombies in the surrounding areas instead of alerting the whole square mile of your presence with an unsilenced primary.

4. Remove crosshairs.

1. Agree 100%. However, being Alpha, I'd rather see the core stuff fixed and refined first, there's plenty of time in beta stages to release new equipment.

2. There are hardcore servers that run 'veteran' mode. No crosshairs, no 3rd person etc. US3 used to be one of these (not sure if still is), and some EU ones are iirc

3. Eh, probably, but it's not vitally important atm really.
