3rd person cant be expoted like it used towatch the camera when you go behind walls for eg .
Was this one of the features you worked on? You can abuse it just as easily.

but everyone can 3rd person look 
if they don't want to try and use that then their loss xD
so far I've punched one guy till he fell over 3 times in the sea and then vanished and then a woman spawned, slapped her round the chops then chased her for 5 mins before she logged I had just spawned in myself and was only testing my settings
FISTYCUFFS AT DAWN!!!
I'm all for day/night cycle servers but probably being before that depending on what time you are available to play you might constantly be lumped with night servers.... which is a bit poop as I like to stare into the distance pondering my thoughts. hence why usually just went on day time servers as would only be there for a few hours so rather be able to see the game I'm playing xD
If it's going to be a full day e.g. saturday, then day/night is fun as you can try and prep for the evening and go night hunting....or hatcheting as I preferred

I just found out "`" key hides the quick bar
They dont have the resources to host the volume of servers needed for an open alpha with this many people involved, yes some GSP's will step in and host some but ultimately as with most MP PC games its left to the "community" to provide the bulk of the hosting resources. It should be remembered that hosts abusing a mechanic isn't an issue per se, (especially when in the current state loot only spawns on server restart) the problem is that the hive still doesn't have any control over what is spawning*. Besides its alpha, surely the best possible test would be to have as much gear out in the wild as possible anyway?.
* This might be unfair, it might do. For all I know the hive knows when a server is rebooted and would prevent loot from spawning within a certain time frame of its last connection to the hive. Or the hive may well in the end control loot spawn triggers.
I just don't want this to go down the same route as the mod and wasteland. Servers start competing against each other and to try and draw the crowds in they dumb it down to make it have no challenge at all.
Early days though, lets see what happens. First server to have mercenary difficulty gets my vote though.
Also noticed that peripheral dots appear on players sometimes. Rubbish!

why does my guy walk around with his fists up looking for a fight all the time ?
why is there no loot anywhere ? i've been on about 10 servers and not found one single bit of loot anywhere, I'm also yet to see a single zombie.
literally my entire experience so far is running around in a big empty world with no zombies or loot anywhere, at the moment its basically a jogging simulator to me.

looted up on about ten minutes full back pack everything. check all houses. many might not look enterable and i think a lot of noobs are missing gear because of this.

Anyone found a tent yet?
i played the mod tons, i know the drill... there just literally hasn't been any anywhere on the servers i've joined.
also i thought all the buildings were enterable now ? can't see to get inside any of the houses in the little towns by the coast, i can see inside the windows which didn't used to be possible but there is no way to get in ?
Open the doors mate. Icon pops up, press F.

Lower your weapon [currently fists] look at your configurations options, read what some buttons do.
That's what I thought too when I first played, but last night Marksy/Anthony101 kindly spent some time talking me through what to do and where to go. We even managed to find each other - incredible!
I'm not sure if it was related to the game or just be being a wuss, but I started to feel really sick. It could have been the head bobbing on the player or the fact I had the gamma turned all the way up, I'm not sure.

Yeah or just mouse scroll to open door.
Headbob has be known to cause this for some people, you can turn it off in the gameplay options. It's better without it anyway.
Also, same graphics options as Arma 2. Turn off that post-processing slop!
This is an inevitable outcome if they allow a private hive scenario but again it comes back to the initial problem of lack of vanilla security (a whole different topic). The reason private hives were even used was due to the rampant scripting and cheating and nothing was ever done about it (they at the time actually prevented admins from banning people cheating). People got fed up and went alone to make it more secure.
At the end of the day if private hive support is given coupled with a lack of vanilla hive security then the exact same scenario will play out.
im getting weird mouse lag, it says mouse acceleration is on but when i try and turn it off nothing happens, anyone else had this issue ?
I've not had that icon appear once when trying to get in, im either a colossal retard or something is bugging out, probably both.

Turned smoothing off?
