First of all I just want to say that I DO enjoy the game even though it's an early access alpha. It was perfectly fine until a few patches ago. Why are the developers seemingly going out of their way to make it harder and harder for fresh spawns to do anything? First of all they removed the spawns along the south coast. Fair enough this was pretty much needed as it stopped people from constantly suiciding in order to spawn at Balota / Cherno / Elektro in order to grab weapons and then turn on their fellow fresh spawns, but this basically resulted in everyone spawning in Solnichniy over and over and over again. Bandits regularly set up camp looking over the town and the factory just so they can kill people with no chance of them fighting back. Second of all they reduced the spawn rate of weapons, Both the M4 and Mosin had their spawn rate reduced as well as both the handguns. Then they added in the shotgun which I have only ever seen one of in over thirty hours of gameplay since that patch. And now they've added the SKS which will probably be just another AS50 scenario of snipers sitting in every nook and cranny at Solnichniy in order to gun down fresh spawns. These changes have made it seemingly impossible to find weapons along the coast. So now the only option for me to have a chance of surviving is to run inland straight away and head to one of the military camps or airfields? And what will happen once I get there? I'll either be gunned down before I get anywhere near some loot by a baby bush camping bush wookie bandit, or I'll get geared up and then be forced to come back to the coast in order to find someone to shoot at. That's just not enjoyable in the slightest. You need to either bring back the spawns along the south coast or increase the weapon spawn rate. In the past thirty hours of playing I have not had a sniff of a weapon. The only weapons I've seen as of late have been the ones in the hands of fresh spawn killing bandits when they've been pointed at my face. And please, to all you loyal fanatics who devote every waking moment of your lives to playing DayZ, don't bother screaming "BUT IT'S ALPHA!" at me like it's the ultimate shield of denial. You'll just be wasting your time. I'm finding myself spending far more time on Rust than I am on DayZ. Both games are early access alphas but at the moment Rust is far more enjoyable as at least on there I have a chance of fighting back against the multitude of fresh spawn killing bandits.

Came across this guy with a knife. He swung at me first so I went in with fists swinging. Five knock outs later and he was still running round! :huh: The Fresh Spawn Mugger Vs The Terminator.

So I had a go at DayZ again for the first time in about a week last night. Had fun with some of the new changes and then I found the new Chernarus defence force hat which gave me ideas. Evil ideas... Sorry for the terrible Russian accent, but over voip things sound different so I'm sure the guy thought I was Russian.

Bunged up with a cold.

So I'm going to start putting my crappy videos into a single thread instead of creating a new thread every time. The fresh spawn mugger part 3. This guy wanted me to stop. He had a gun. I wanted that gun.

Wrong section sorry.

To be fair I have more fun on the coast as a fresh spawn than up north. Just last night me and a friend took out a geared squad of 4 with our Mosins up at the NE airfield. After the fight was over, the echo of gunfire had faded into the distant and the smoke had cleared we both asked that important question, "Now what?" So we both decided on a double murder pact. Aimed our rifles at each other and pulled the trigger at the same time. One quick respawn and 10 minute sprint later and we were both at Kamychava (Kamychovo for chavs) squawking abuse at all the other fresh spawns and fist fighting zombies like pros. Don't become attached to your gear. It will only lead to a broken heart or rage when you die...

Because I knew what the topic was about just by reading the topic title and first line. Just another whiner from the priviliged console generation crying that an early alpha access game isn't fully optimised.

Gave up after the first sentence. Dean Hall has stated MANY times that you should not buy this game due to it being an early alpha still. You can't play the game unless you hit the "I understand" button on the screen where it explains that this is an incomplete alpha. Yet here you are, complaining about the state of the game (I assume, remember I never read this). One word for you. Idiot.

Did another video like this tonight in the same gas station. Had some idiot pull a gun on me and kill me because he hates all *insert racist term for Indian people here*. This community...

I want to be able to dance in DayZ. That way when I hold up a group of people I can force them all to dance!

My accent was somewhat poor. But through VOIP it would probably have sounded somewhat decent....

So there's a little story to this that you should read before you watch this video. I was in my little gas station, role playing as an Indian gas station attendant when two guys burst in through the door. I greeted them kindly and started waving at them, when the guy with the baseball bat ran up to the counter and hit me across it for no reason. So I ducked down behind the counter, drew my revolver and started firing off shots while shouting at them to get out of my store. They both ran out and conveniantly closed the door behind them. Then I started recording... http://www.youtube.com/user/PauseForGames

That man is a legend.
