Your "rant" was hard to read, try using the <ENTER> key in the future.

1. already being added

2, 3, and 4. not really necessary

5. no we don't. we don't need every gun in existence

6 and 7. not entirely sure what you are wanting here, there is already game stage and loot stage levels

8. why?

9. auto-mining equipment aren't very readily available in the real world why would they be more plentiful in a resource strapped world?

10. agreed

11. Maybe, but I would rather get rid of automatic "trigger" points in POIs so stealth would actually be useful

12. what exact sights are you looking for? There is already 3 types of scope and a laser sight

14.  You already have auto-shared quests from traders for people in a group

15. we have a machete, one sword is pretty much like any other

18. no, this isn't Doom or Halo

19, 20, and 21. would love to see these.

22. we don't really need another sniper rifle

23. dont think we need another machine gun

24. this would be awesome

No Kalexism on new types of vehicles? You made me scroll up and down multiple times and for what?!

Squirrely is the word alright. The way the motorbike floops and flops around at any real speed (vanilla, not modded!), especially with the turbo on, drives me @%$#ing nuts.

Yeah, the 4x4 does this too. even driving on straightaways, it occasionally slides wildly with tiny adjustments to drive around derelict cars and shopping carts.

That's what I was referring to, the vehicles in the game handle like crap. So the only time I am in a vehicle in game is when my husband is driving his motorcycle or the jeep.

They were purposely misreading your words to make a joke... You don't like how "they" drive, so why don't "you" drive instead.  I'm sure they agree with your take on the way vehicles handle on this game.  😀

The motorcycle is especially annoying when it just slides back and forth for a long ways before straightening out unless you stop and tilt side to side repeatedly whenever you make the slightest adjustment.  Anyone driving a motorcycle like that in real life is going to be on the ground really quickly.

 
Are you sure it is crap handling and not just a shred of realism in the driving part? I.e. that doing a sudden sharp curve while driving fast destabilizes your vehicle. The vehicles can't topple so all they do when you oversteer is getting into an oscillation where in reality they would topple or crash.

I am just asking, I don't have an opinion yet. I sometimes get into this oscillation too but assumed this is because I was making a driving mistake since it always seems to happen when I try to avoid an obstacle in the last millisecond.

 
I think it's good enough.  Not every game needs hyper realistic driving or has to be perfect 

The only thing really right now the game needs is bandits, new special zombies, optimization and whatever little improvements 

Like eatting animations, more craft able decor/parts and more game settings 

The game is so close! I can taste it! *giggity*

Well, having driven bicycles, minibikes, motorcycles, and cars in real life, no, they aren't the least bit realistic as to handling. Plus there are some seriously wonky camera controls when you are driving.
