So I take the temper tantrum post as we still didn't fix the actual dupe and instead will attempt to ban you with our secret logs(tm).

Why would people play an early access that bans you? Like, if I find a duping bug and I do it to confirm it and report it, I'll still get banned by whatever system is in place. Hell 7daystodie has a duping bug that can happen on accident, so why would I want to play and help test?

I think that's the misunderstanding on your part. Alpha has already gone by. This is actually Beta 3-4 where in this case the money grab has already happened so now they give no fucks. This way if they ban you, you'll have to give them another $20. This poo poo should basically be illegal, but really who's going to regulate the lovely rear end software industry.

You aren't going to get banned for accidentally doing it every once in a while, they outright said you'd be banned in you abused it. Meaning if they see in the logs that you're repeatedly performing the bug in order to gain an advantage. There's no situation that should happen where you 'accidentally' CTD over and over after dropping your poo poo after all.

I dunno, I played for 4 hours yesterday and I found one (lovely) AR15 (no bullets) and a bunch of M1911's of varying quality with tons of .45 ammo. I think the ammo should be reduced a bit (I had somewhere around 220 rounds for the pistol), but guns I think are ok (at least based on that singular experience). I was killing people and taking their ammo, but really the majority of bullets I found in random houses, and sometimes I'd find 20-30 rounds in a single batch. Everything was great until I ran out from behind cover and tried to shoot someone like an idiot, only for them to cap me and then scream over chat that they're a Counter-Strike pro and call me a fag.

I've found joy in playing a pacifist in Battle Royale mode. I run around with my hands up blasting "Why can't we be friends" over virtual audio cable. I die every single time, but it's usually good for a laugh and a free hat skin. Regarding loot: I feel like it's alright for right now. Once Alpha is over and done with maybe tone down the gun/ammo spawns a bit, but I'm actually finding enough food/cloth/metal to not be playing Blackberry Eating Simulator 2K15 anymore.

SOE just needs to decide what kind of game do they want this to be and let everyone know. Right now they're trying to walk in two worlds and it just seems like a mess. Do they want it to be a Zombie survival MMO? If so then they need to tone down the levels of everything as it is right now. Ammo should be rare and only come a few rounds at a time. Food and Water should mainly be handled via hunting and purifying. Most importantly Zombies have to actually mean something. In this scenario creating a character and having it survive and slowly build power up over time could be fun and challenging. Do they want it to be a Murder simulator? Is so then the current rate of spawning is probably fine. You and every person you meet will have a gun and essentially unlimited ammo. You then play a scaled down version of deathmatch to see who wins. If you lose and die you can respawn and gear back up quickly to deathmatch again. Zombie are a mini-game designed to kill time between killing the next person you find instead of being a real threat. This scenario can be fun for quick bursts of game play and not putting any real stake into your character. Log on kill some mans, die then logoff for the night content. Neither type of game is right or wrong in my opinion and both have merits. I do not however think that they can make a game that tries to straddle both of these scenarios. I personally would prefer a more survival based game, since if I want a murder simulator you have DayZ and Rust. I just don't see the need to have another one of those games in an already flooded market.

Yea this occured to me after building them, so I made a few alts and parked them outside of my holes loaded up with the rarer/more valuable stuff, and left the bulky things like backpacks/food/etc in the holes. I don't know if I'll ever actually use all this stuff, but it scratches some sort of spergy itch to stash it all away for later.

There is a map screen ingame, I think you press M to open it. But it's not done. I don't know if they intend for us to find maps in the world which are then placed on that screen or if it will be filled in as you explore though.

I think it'd be neat if you had to click the information signs scattered throughout the map to get that chunk of the map added, along with requiring a compass to pinpoint your position. Does anyone know if they have any more maps planned, or if the existing one will be extended at all?

There was an interview with Smedley I believe where he said that the cookie cutters are basically done and they can extend the map as much as they want. I'm pretty sure the map will be enlarged before the F2P launch for sure, I don't know if we'll see anything in alpha (probably beta). This is kind of enforced with the way the roads end in the current map.

So it seems that the whole PVPD gimmick has caught on. I got mugged by four guys by the fire station, who told me to get on the ground and empty out my pockets. I told them they were mugging a dude for a bow and arrow (truth) and while they were distracted in looting a zombie who was getting close, I decided to get up and take one of them out. Got filled with shotgun rounds immediately thereafter. Also, ESP and one-shot AR-15 kills seem to be a thing now.

You'll notice that's why its always near the top of the viewer list a lot, because bearded dude streamer #50694 will stream it with his 30,000 viewers http://www.twitch.tv/anthony_kongphan : this guy is pretty good for entertainment, he used to stream DayZ alot and has since switched to H1Z1.

Summit bounces between csgo and h1z1 and is pretty decent too. Summit usually plays with a large group while lirik is either alone or with one buddy. You can find their vods but again, they play more than one game so you have to search the spots where they are playing it.

After the update the loot feels much better. I went from spending 3 hours finding nothing at all to a game session today where I played for an hour and had found decent assortments of food and even a handgun with some bullets. Still don't know how I feel about the game overall though. I was hoping for a more survival horror game and less rear end in a top hat players killing you for no reason all the time. They really need to up the zombie count.
