Bad idea. I can see something similar to this working later on in the game for extremely high grade loot perhaps but we are in alpha and the faster people get to testing new features and items the faster the bugs can be fixed. Delaying that is kinda counter productive.

I think the barracks actually have reduced loot now as I seem to come across empty rooms (in barracks that have not been looted yet) more often than before the patch. Which is all fine by me tbh. It shouldn't be easy to find military grade weapons and attachments.

It isn't but it doesn't make it any less true. This is just not the right game for some people.

I want Milla Jovovich, please make her my bride.

They can name it whatever they want (within a certain frame) and I am pretty sure that is just to lure more players into their server.

Yes because that is the only thing missing from the game right now.

I can confirm this, there used to be a bug where anyone could restart the server at will (has been fixed) and if you restarted the server just after you died, the hive wouldn't have time to record your death.

I think that'll be the new "Are there any friendlies in Cherno" :)

Now that there are 2 seperate hives for 1pp and 3pp, I could really care less about what goes on in 3pp servers as I have always preferred 1pp myself. On another note, and I am not sure if this has been posted as I didn't bother to read 37 pages of posts, the mod 2017 for Arma 3 seems to have come up with a decent idea (well it is borrowed from another addon I think). The premise being that there is a "4th walll" in 3rd person view where you can only see the items and characters you would be able to see in 1st person mode. So in order to see what is over that wall, you actually have to peak around the corner even though your are in 3pp. I haven't pondered much about the immersion factor of it all however it seems like one solution to the problem of 3pp exploiting.

Challenge accepted. Also shouldn't your nickname be cockyitch? ;)

Dying is part of the game and hence so is frustration, it is called the anti-game for a reason. I personally have played the SA since 1 week after Alpha release and so far have only been KOS'ed 2 maybe 3 times. All other deaths were either from firefights that I started or hold ups where I refused to co-operate.

I hope they don't, people will just end up spamming the channels.

So much awesomeness 8o

1. Avoid big cities mainly refers to the cities at the coast (i.e. Electro, Cherno, Berezino, although Berezino is not that much of a hotspot at the moment) 3. That is not the point. You have to ask yourself, what you want to do next time you meet a player? Will you simply kill them for their gear if it is any good, do you try to take a risk and try to communicate with them etc? There are many choices, you make your own story. Not everyone logs out in fact I have seen so few people log out (even in the middle of a firefight) that I am surprised. 4. Just because you scouted some place in advance and it was clear it doesn't mean it is safe. Someone else could already be on their way over there. So you have to keep your eyes and ears open at all times. Also if a server hopper spawns close to you, you will hear him spawn in and have the upper hand. 6. This is purely out of choice and to help you get going until you are "better at the game" or confident and equipped enough to commit yourself into a firefight if needed. Or you could just charge in unequipped and hope you will survive, but that is the risk YOU take. It is nobody's choice but yours and you can't blame someone else if you get shot in the back while doing this. At the moment the only weapon you cannot get anywhere but at high grade military spawns is the M4. Every other weapon is obtainable at various buildings in regular cities/industrial areas.

Well not good enough to kill a guy while you are in cover it appears. lol Love it when people play the "but I have been playing mil sims for so long" card. Good for you buddy, that doesn't mean you are any good at it ;)

Nothing has to be done. Dayz like the rest of the Arma series was never easy to learn because it doesn't hold you by the hand unlike most other games, has a steep learning curve and requires great amounts of patience which is some of the reasons why the people who play it, enjoy it so much. That is also one of the reasons why the Arma/OFP series wasn't that popular until the DayZ mod, because it didn't appeal to the masses of mindless gamers who like to have everything handed to them on a silver platter. This game requires more patience and requires you to use your brain capacity more than most games out there. This can of course be frustrating to the casual gamer. If you spend 1.5 hours finding each other, that is not the games fault, only your own. There are plenty of resources out there to get you going in terms of navigation and survival on the web (e.g. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dayz+standalone+map), blaming the game is not an excuse in this case. I leave you with this message of the infamous Australian tough guy:

People have a big misconception of what 700 meters is :p

Tired of running in Dayz? Raging so hard that you have to come on the forums and whine about how you are sick of running through Chernarus+? Would like to do other menial tasks with your left hand such as touching yourself? Look no further, Leathermans tool, a tool for everything! Thanks to gunnersquad for the inspiration. p.s. yes my keyboard is nasty and none of the macro keys work due to some form of liquid spilled on them :D

Just open the game, click on the right bottom corner on where your name is, hit backspace to delete it and write the desired nickname. You don't need to change your steam name...

I'd recommend Starbound. Although it is a sidescroller and takes place in space, it is quiet fun and in-depth. There are others but they are kinda crap tbh. WarZ, 7 Days to Die, State of Decay, all terrible. Wasteland 2 is top down turn based, people say it is good but I am not so sure after watching the videos.

Because if you get injured somehow, you immediately start healing if you are in healthy status. However I think it is still bugged. My pre-patch character is still healing since the patch.

Boy you don't have a clue do you. The people fixing bugs and the ones adding new content are 2 separate entities. Adding stuff does not mean they are doing it at the cost of fixing bugs.

Server hopping will be a thing of the past. If you had done any reading about the game you would know that.
