Fuuuuccckkkk most frustrating death ever... I was so set I looted all of the downtown of Cherno I had over 100 rounds for my winchester 60ish for my makarov and 6 blood packs an alice pack a map hunting knife watch matchs compass... Pretty much everything you need short of military grade weapons and NVG and a vehicle. So I moved really far north intending to get to an airfield slowly and hunt for food and use my several canteens for water. But I got ambushed by a bandit who I managed to kill some how but this left me at like 3k blood. So I ran back south (I thought) but because I couldn't see my compass due to the screen being fuzzy as shit and about 10 minutes of straight running later I reached the out skirts of Cherno. But on the far east of town instead of the far west as I intended. I had no firewood to cook all of my raw meat on so I was also nearly starving to death. My friend was going to meet me at the hospital and I told him there was no way I would make it because my screen was literally as dark as night even though it was noon on server time. I attempted to sneak to the hospital by hugging the docks but I could see nothing and when I aggroed a few zombies I panicked and ran. I forgot docks fuck over the ai for zombies and ran away from them and then I saw a flare and survivors to my right in the town square but I didn't want to chance bandits so I ran from them too like a retard... Of course they ended up being freindly but I found that out later... So I ran around looking frantically for my friend but never found him and died. Of course I didn't know where I died because I couldn't see fuck all so when I finished my 20 minute walk from respawning in Electro I never did find my body

There needs to be a way better way to self heal then there is atm I think. Looking for help to get a transfuse is asking to get attacked by bandits. You need to trust some random and tottally give away your location for any help. Eating food for 200 or 800 is just impractical. I understand it's super realistic but maybe put another item in or something that can give you a higher bonus like 1k hp but it takes 2 slots or something

I like healing the way it is. I would despise if they made it any easier. It adds to the realistic feel of the game, it makes people more cautious and think about strategy. It also makes stealth and intelligence very vital components of the game as opposed to firepower.

Frustration aside I think the healing is well implemented.

I think if it took a long time and some extra equipment, giving yourself a blood transfusion should be possible.

Trade being less convenient for not having to rely on others.

Man I wouldn't have purchased the game if I knew it was really "waiting for server response the game".

I feel like I'm the only one who has never had this problem.

Me and my friends have to wait longer the further the server is on that screen and it can go up to like 15 min or something ridiculous, but on a UK or west EU server it is really fast

It has gotten much better with the recent patch but I experienced it quite often, occasionally making it unplayable (1h wait time on almost any server). In my experience it is worse on american servers.

Yea I haven't had much issue getting in a game either. I've found it's the low pop servers that get stuck on the "waiting for response" message (atleast in my case). I usually just spam enter on a full server until I get in and I load almost instantly. Put it this way: there's a reason why some servers stay full for so long.

I had a couple servers pull that on me last night...tried numerous other servers (was looking for a daylight server at 9pm PST) and found other servers have far better response times.

Just wait. That's the master server that holds all the data for every character, sometimes it's bound to be slow. It's not game-server specific

When it comes to deer stands, I generally just sneak (or even run) up to the ladder and aggro the zeds on purpose, once at the top of the stand you can just aim your sights at the top of the ladder and headshot them as they climb up.

It's only three shots (I've never seen more than 3 spawn around a deer stand), if you do it correctly, and you'll get access to military zombie loot, which, while not amazing, is often unique to that type. I find things like smoke grenades, chemlights and some rarer ammo types (not that I've needed any yet) on them quite often. Plus, you get the loot from the deerstand, which can be decent.

Its far easier to sneak past them I find, I only generally aggro zombies when I'm in a city/town so its harder to spot them or when I'm inside a building and feel safe enough. Had a lot of fights in the cities today, killed a guy after he requested a blood transfusion since our dude needed blood and we had none.

Had the most bullshit death. AK 74 with 4 clips, alice pack with every item I could want except NV goggles. I had over 100 zombie kills, 10k blood

Get knocked unconscious first swing by a zombie who warps through a wall, gang banged until dead by 5 more zombies

Get a credit card that isn't from a Mexico-only bank, that's the only thing I can think of for you.

I started playing this on wednesday, and I'm really really enjoying the survival style of it.

I do think there are a lot of things that need to be polished and added to the game, but since it's alpha I have high hopes for the upcoming development.

I haven't died yet (like 2-3 hours in), but I started playing with a few people, some of who had spent a few hours in it already. Killed a bandit, ran out of ammo, got a blood transfusion, caught a cold twice, sat by a fireplace in the middle of the city for 10 minutes, went into shock, killed 60 zombies, only explored half of a town and nearby forest. Probably a standard set of experiences, but I like the fact that each of the things listed above feels like an entire chapter of a story.
