I am concerned with crafting and farming in recent updates and how they do not really seem to be useful towards end game. Collect a bunch of books, dump skill points in only to have the best items you could craft typically already be replaced with purple versions. Why bother crafting armor, weapons, and tools when you probably loot better doing trader missions or just exploring? Then there is farming, where even with books/perks, it just is still not viable to really live off the land? Loot vs Crafting has been an issue for quite some time and it is a bit jarring that it has not been addressed (but skills can be overhauled 2x times). Also while nitpicking, the trade quest rewards still do not seem to reflect the effort put in to clearing t5/t6 infested quests. Overall the direction of the game has shifted from survival to grinding and there is only so much folks can do that treadmill before they just give up (mad props to the modders for basically keeping the overall community alive during these long, long development periods between Alphas).

I have a fresh wiped dedicated server running A21 B324, with No Kill setting verified. If you are fighting a zombie near a friendly (ally/party member) and have a stun charge on the weapon, the player(s) get thrown as well as the zombies. So far I have tested with a player made tier 4 with the Repulsor Mod installed (with Weighted Head Mod + Structural Brace Mod). The player thrown back has happened several times now, so it does not seem to be a de-sync oddity. Each player affected are in the same party and are allies, again server config has been triple checked to be No kill (aka no pvp). While fun initially, it does make tight quarters fighting and horde night rather difficult.

Playing on a hosted server (PingPerfect) , after updating to the experimental build [B217] for June 15th; player level and previously earned skill points are all missing? In addition to the already mentioned Journal entry issue that was posted else where in this section. I am curious if anyone else has seen the level/skill point issue or if something went wrong with the server update?
