Eruvadhor, You make some good points in support of trading. Especially the ammo sharing suggestion, but I'm not convinced about materials trading. I'm unsure of how sharing ammo could be achieved within the current restrictions of an encounter, but I wouldn't be against it. I do think there should be some form of materials trading, maybe trading food for materials at an appropriate exchange rate that doesn't make it too easy to build up supplies. But I do feel that improving your shelter and upgrading your workbench etc should be a single player activity, achieved by your own looting tactics and skills and by collecting air drops and challenge crates.

Hi Lyrika, At the moment I would generally agree. I have had some challenges for finding food which rewarded me with crowns, so that is one reason for food currently. However, I would like to think that in future updates, food donation and gathering will offer more in the way of crown, crate and other rewards. Some guidance from Bohemia would help us all understand what future purpose food will serve in the game.

Hi Devs, There appears to be more and more outlanders highlighting problems with the game. I appreciate that there are lots more players since the FTP release, and many of the problems are duplicates, so the overall numbers of problems that need fixing may not be too high. I've just had a scan around the other Bohemia forums and noticed that on DayZ you have something called a feedback Tracker, where problems are reported and formally tracked to resolution. I also appreciate that DayZ has a hell of a lot more players than Vigor, but are we at the stage in the development lifecycle of Vigor whereby identified problems could now be officially logged and tracked to resolution? Just a thought to help outlanders feel that you are recognising the problems and are visibly doing something about it.

If we are to have statistics in the future, then a certain problem needs to be fixed. I've mentioned in an earlier post about being 'killed' by another outlander', when in fact he only winged me, and I actually killed myself through fall damage later into the encounter. Today I was shot at by another outlander' who missed with several rounds. I successfully evaded him and continued the encounter. However, Iater into the encounter I got myself stuck in a rock ledge! Unable to extract myself I was eventually killed by the radiation cloud. On my death, I was immediately informed that some outlander', whose name I forget, had killed me!! I was then offered the opportunity to spectate him as he left the map at the opposite end to me. I can only imagine the guy I was watching was the same outlander' who shot at me. As he missed, how on earth can he be credited with a kill? As I mentioned earlier in the post, if we are to eventually have statistics that includes kills, then they will be inaccurate if this issue is not corrected.

Sound advise Caesar. I've only played 2 team encounters and experienced similar frustration with communication and the subsequent sharing of loot. I'm not technically qualified enough to know if headset communication between teammates could be established, and until I find out if it can, and more importantly, if I can accomplish it, I'll focus on solo encounters.

Having read your description of the 'exploit'. I'm unsure as to whether this is something that needs fixing, or should be permitted. Outl4nd3r, from my perspective, what you have discovered sounds like a bug, but so what. Well spotted and Devs, leave it alone.

Hi zigzag, Unfortunately there does appear to be regional issues with server stability. I have been lucky so far and only suffered very limited disconnects. If you read other posts on the subject you will see that a number of outlanders have suffered more frequent disconnects, including actual cash losses by being disconnected after committing crowns to boost an encounter. I have faith that outlanders in this position will ultimately be compensated in some way. The message is, play on and enjoy.

I'm afraid I disagree, and below is my reason. The object of the game is to loot, including opening the vault and collecting air drops. Air drop crates (and challenge crates) being the only way to procure plans for weapons. You join a 'commune' where one guy has already picked up the plan say for an ADR. What incentive have other 'commune' members got to go out and get crates if they can get the weapon from another member? This game for me is essentially about solo survival. Get your own plans, upgrade your shelter by getting loot yourself and don't rely on others. It is possible to exchange weapons with a team mate in game, by trading through weapon boxes or dead outlanders. And for me that's more than enough. . I'll quote a simple example. My grandkids got me to play Clash of Clans. Different game scenario I know, but the principle being the point. They are all around Town Hall 10/11/12. As soon as I could join their Clan (@Town Hall 4 I think) they sent me top level troops that helped me destroy anyone else at my level. Deleted it. Too easy with advanced partners. . My point being, I want to progress through my own initiative. So if you want 'communes', fine but not for trading anything that gives you an advantage.

Hi goombz, If there is a shortage of players for a single player encounter, then any duo's waiting for an encounter will be included. It's happened since duo's were added to the game. It happens most during off peak times, but can happen spuriously depending on how many outlanders are waiting to play. When it happens it does give them a distinct advantage, but solo players have taken duo's out before now.

Very helpful. I will give it a try.

Any outlanders available to introduce me to teaming, drop me your gamer tag on the forum or via mail and I'll drop an invite next time I'm on.

I can't be sure, but can think of no other explanation. I entered the game within 5 metres of the vault. Quickly stripped the barriers at a window and entered to start the vault opening process. Hid in a corner adjacent to the main door so I could cover any entry via the window and the door. Noticed the end of a gun barrel for a split second at the window. The would have allowed the player to locate me. Within a minute, and with no noticeable activity at the door or window, a round of bullets, seemingly from outside and Behind me, finished me off whilst I was out of any direct line of sight. Any one else been finished in that way. And more to the point is it actually possible to shoot through certain walls?

Hi Subject, Some interesting ideas, but for me the basic premise of the game is fine as it is. I don't want it to become too complicated, but I would agree with better gameplay components for duo's would be a benefit. I've played a couple of team games and find it frustrating to say the least, that communication is so difficult. Whilst it is possible to swap weapons through a corpse or certain weapon boxes, it's not ideal. Traps makes me think of my grand kids on Fortnite, so for me I can't see what purpose they would serve. Binoculars and silenced weapons, yes I can see a benefit. But as I've mentioned in other posts, combat is rarely fair, as one outlander' usually gets the drop on another and has an immediate advantage. I'm personally not in favour of pay to win, so having outfits that limit damage is something I couldn't support. I would agree that other modes could be added, but not at the expense of the original solo survival principle.

Hi Michael, Shame your not happy with the game. However, I've not experienced either of the gliches you mention, and would love to see the video's.

Agree that some may like the idea Alex. Wasn't trying to shut the idea down, just keen that the main focus of the game remains on the solo survival theme.

Can't help with the other problems you highlight, but if you look at the top of the signal detector, if it's rotating it's available, if it's stationary then you can't use it. Hope that helps a little.

Hi Tyson, I would expect that all players affected by server crashes are known to Bohemia, as well as what they have lost through the server logs. There are two methods they could use as a form of reimbursement :- 1. Simple challenges providing crowns, weapons, crates, ammo etc 2. Gift crates of various levels . I would hope the Devs are already considering this as a lot of outlanders are reporting their losses and some feedback from the Devs would definitely be appreciated.

Hi iwant, I'm afraid no outlanders are going to get out of your way and make encounters easy for you. It's about getting off the map with as much as you can, be that after 1 minute, 10 minutes or anytime in between. If you can kill another outlander' in the process, wherever that may be on the map, then of course your going to do it and take their stuff. After all it is a survival scenario.

My mistake. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Will do.

As far as I am aware new guns are coming in 1.1. For instance, ppsh, Mosin etc Happy for new modes as long as the current solo play is not affected, as not all want a Fortnite clone. Hence why I vote NO. Would like to see more new cheaper outfits. For instance winter soldier white outfit for snow environment.

Would love to see the video if you can find a way to upload it or share a link.

Shame you feel that way. All outlanders use different tactics dependent on the map, the airdrop site and other factors. Camping is a perfectly legit tactic. Read the other posts in this thread, there are ways to combat campers. Use them, adapt and get on with it. Apologies for appearing abrupt, but would you pass up the chance of an easy kill for a full inventory?

All the above comments make sense. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, $1 a loot boost &$1.50 a crate boost is a considered decision, which a lot of outlanders will baulk at. If it was $0.40 & $0.60, I for one wouldn't think twice about applying boosts for either. Would like some more outlanders to have their say. Would you buy more and boost more if 155 crowns cost $1.99 instead of $4.99?

I've found it works best kneeling or in prone. Test some weapons on the range to find which one has the least movement when aiming.
