That's exactly what I was thinking about supermarkets.. Glad to see you guys are putting a lot of thought into your gaming experience too :) I don't know where I pulled that 100 figure from.. lol. A flashlight and bandages might be a bit too bare bones, but it seems like you should have to search for the map, compass, watch combination. Regarding the civilian guns: I would reduce the double barrel a little bit, and the Lee and Winchester more. As for sidearms, I agree with making the M9, M9SD, G17, and PDW pretty rare, and perhaps make the Revolver, M1911, and Makarov a bit less common then they currently are.

Wonderful people of 3TOG, I've searched far and wide for the most realistic DayZ server out there, and this one is very promising. That coupled with your rolepaying elements, is what makes this my favorite DayZ server. Just a few things I think to be done to make it a more realistic experience. I'm not trying to tell you guys how to run your server here, just throwin' in my two cents. 1. Make guns and ammo much less common. Civilian guns are much too easy to find. They pop up like candy with default DayZ loot tables. They should be something you really have to search for, as they would be in real life. That being said, military grade arms should be significantly reduced in the loot tables 2. When it comes to vehicles, 100 is a little much. In an apocalypse setting, working vehicles and parts to repair them would be hard to come by. 30-50 maybe? Enough for everyone, but not overly accessible. 3. Canned food and soda.. is everywhere.. Making that less prominent in the loot tables certainly wouldn't hurt. I read in a previous post on this thread "a hunting knife and a water bottle should be the most valuable items in the game" or something like that.. I definitely agree. 4. Edit starting gear. Spawn with only: Flashlight, bandages. Tough, tough, I know. But again, for the realism! 5. I would say keep 3rd person on as an option.. IRL humans have 160 degrees of vision, and with 1st person you only get 90. Also, you have a feel for what's directly around you in the real world, not so much in an FPS. Keep up the good work! -AnonSurvivor
