As I am finishing the night sniping in elektro, some dufus walks right in front of me and goes prone with his scope facing elektro. I realized he had no idea i was 5m behind him so I ended his life.

I am going back to that tree without a doubt from now on because obviously I am invisible under it. LoL.

i think its tofus server. when we started xferring our gear to tofus server in preparation for the exodus of server 1, everything kept getting eaten in our tents. there were only 5-6 people on the server when we were xferring to it, and everytime we logged out and joined back in, half of our items would be gone again. we lost like 5 as50s 4 nvg's 2 rangefinders in tents on that server in a matter of 15 minutes.

(its unlikely any1 found our tents with 4-6 people on the server, and they are all in cherno/starry

Was it the one on the big hill near the power plant? Pretty sure that's the one you're talking about, every time someone snipes there from my group, the exact same happens to them...noone sees them and just walks right up. But do beware some people know this and specifically try to find you there.

Why the hell did they remove starting weapons?
Now every time I want to do anything I have to search for half an hour to find anything to defend myself, if I don't die due to zombies that track you for kilometers it's some rediculous 1 meter drop that breaks your legs.
And the weapon locations are just horrible, you can find a weapon in maybe 1 in 10 houses, you'll have more luck finding a axe or a knife, but ofcourse, those are not the official intentional weapons and can just be ignored.
Every godamn game I find these piles of ammo, bandages and food, but nothing becomes of any godamn use because I can't kill anything, and ofcourse shaking zombies is as good as impossible because hurp a durp same run speed.

At this point I'm considering quiting this bullshit, I wanted to have a realistic zombie shooter, not a running away simulator with incredibly shitty controls.

Managed to get a Lee Enfield, which was a lot of fun for the 5 minutes before some asshole told me he was friendly and shot me.
It seems a lot of effort for incredibly little gain, the battling zombies, even with an axe, which needs it's own seperate manual.
The map helps to figure out where you should go for every item but I find it somewhat rediculous I needed to know about no less then 2 online maps to make sense of an ingame situation, and having to alt tab in a game like this, especially when you see the name of a town you just entered can often turn into suicide.

And as far as the makarov being removed, as you said yourself, agro'ing zombies is a massive problem with them, combine that with their low power and the rather low 8 bullets only really makes it viable for getting into one or two drop locations.
Do you honestly believe starting you off with very low ammo isn't survival enough? The low ammo crappy makarov IS what you would put into a survival focussed game, removing it seems just completely pointless and just another barrier to get into the game without reading a godamn manual.

Also sneaking systems are all fun and such but the extremely shitty controls and the bad programming just make it either a extremely slow ride of boredom or playing it more loose which makes it impossible to shake the aggro before you can grab your items.

This just feels like one of those bad patches that makes a game stupidly difficult after fans have been complaining it was too easy, I think I'll wait till future updates fix this shit and focus on the many better games I have.

Edit: And yeah, I am kind of pissed off, from what I've seen from the numerous Destiny material this seemed like an incredibly enjoyable game, to only find out now that to reach that point you have to spend 15 min to an hour depending on luck and spawn position to even get a basic weapon, from where you can actually start playing this game, if this was a one or couple of times thing I would'nt mind but at this point I spent so much time on that bullshit, it's just frustrating.

I get the idea of having no weapons to fight and being chased, in Amnesia or Penumbra for instance it works incredibly well, however there it works because it's actually scary due to the game's atmosphere, story and enemy design, in this case it's like you're being chased by a bunch of annoying parasites that sound like dogs and wear idiotic french berets, it takes me out of the game and wastes a lot of my time on tedious busywork.
