Thanks for this by the way philbur, loving this podcast.

Wow, that's dedication. I carry a radio around when I have the room for it, but it usually ends up being dropped sooner or later. I've genuinely used it once, with a friend of mine because we couldn't get Skype to work.

Wait are you telling me you actually managed to find someone on the radio? That's great in itself! xD

I'm all for limiting gamma change IG. If it's really an issue not being able to boost it to ungodly levels, theirs always changing it on your monitor, or buying a better/different monitor next time.

I was really confused by how you claimed it was aids, but I put two and two together. We all feel your pain, however I do feel it's getting slightly better as of late.

I wanna watch but I've gotta go in like 2 minutes Dx I WILL BE BACK FOR THIS I SWEAR TO YOU

I'd be cool with that, maybe keep it simple like RMB for the right hand and LMB for the left, sure you lose the ability to zoom, but maybe if you put your fists back down you could zoom again? After all, if you're in a fist fight, why do you need to zoom?

As Whyherro123 said, I'm okay with (Not too fond of, but okay) player built bases, but it can't take 5 seconds using 1/10 of the actual materials you'd need. You should have to be dedicated to your base if you're going to build one from scratch, no more coastal fortresses. No new spawn shacks littering the waterside every 5 feet like in Ark. You should need the tools, you should need the actual amount of materials, you should need what you actually would need to build that same shack in reality.

I'd be cool with that, as long as you can also use it to store at least one rifle (But you'd have to drop it to pull the gun out)

If the first thing* someone says to me is that they're friendly, I assume you're not. Majority of the time, I'm right, and they die. If you're friendly, act like it, don't just claim to be, goes back to the whole "Actions speak louder than words".

Can you even advertise that you have massive loot? I'm fairly certain you have no control over loot spawns, but correct me if I'm wrong. And again, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't that against the agreement or terms or whatever to advertise that?

I really do hope they add some more diversity, because that is one of the things I loved so much about H1Z1. I'm big on just wandering and exploring, and though the map in H1Z1 is fairly small, it still pulls me in with how attractive each building looks. Of course their are some copies, but their certainly is a lot more diversity to it than DayZ. Even if the buildings mapping is the same, I'd like to see variations of the interior design.

Im a big Experimental player, an Im really looking forward to .59 for Exp, I just really want those new vehicles, Im dying

Idk man, they've always kinda been zombies, the creators made them that way, just like every time we poof into existence as a replica of the standard white man we have the same stinky stuff, it's just how the creators want us. They control our entire world :l

I love the ambient noises/music, gives me the creeps, and it really did help with the atmosphere.

Well, while I do agree on this currently, I don't feel like this is going to be the case in the future. I'm pretty sure the devs are going to work on everything to make it feel, well, less "happy". Or so goes the hope.

First question, are you playing the Stable or Experimental build? If Stable, this might help, but this is my experience from Exp. (This is only from one experience I've had with my rifles, it could be something completely different, but this might help) Alright, so I've had a couple of my guns disappear too, make sure you haven't picked up any other rifle (Crossbow included), and before each logout make sure you can put the rifle in your hands. If you can, good, now put it away again. If you can't, then theirs an issue right there. Either the item isn't in your inventory anymore and you have a fake/ghost rifle, or your hands are full already but don't appear to be. Hoping its the latter, hold G to see if you can throw it. If you can, good for you, now go make sure that it wasn't the rifle you just threw, if it was, grab it, and log out, if it wasn't, still go grab it, it is your loot after all, then see if it will let you switch to the rifle. If you can, put it back, and log out, if you can't, it's most likely a fake/ghost rifle, and I just wish you the best of luck from there.

Well then you've got a way to identify people already then, you don't need the helmets

Can't help with the helmet issue, however to identify people you could make armbands. Grab one that contrasts greatly to what everyone wears (I usually go with the pink as it sticks out against practically everything when in worn/pristine condition), and pop em on everyone in the clan.

It's been discussed plenty, and shut down even more. The reason being the "zombies" you fight in DayZ aren't zombies, they're just people infected with a disease, that the living people (A.K.A the players) are immune to, otherwise we'd already be infected, and the game wouldn't exist. However, just like any wild creature, they will be able to carry diseases with them, and you could contract those if you don't treat yourself properly, it just won't be the disease that turned them into the infected.

Wait wait wait, are you telling me, I can blow up spray cans AND use them to blow up gas stations??

Now that you say that, I get what jayfkay was saying, thanks (Can't believe I didn't get that at first, overthinking at it's best). But yeah, the sway is a little outrageous when you're just walking around with the gun raised. I mean, it obviously shouldn't be perfect, but it's a little absurd.

I'm going to assume since you claim to have experience in the army (No disrespect intended, people just like to claim things like this sometimes without it being true), that you know that different conditions would effect how much a gun swings/sways. You suggest gun owners go out and test out how much their gun swings when they sidestep, however they haven't been lugging around tons of lbs of gear, nor have they been running constantly, they aren't under the same stress as a survivor of a zombie apocalypse, and they haven't been running/jogging constantly for awhile with minimum breaks. If you take the time to reduce your characters fatigue however you should notice that the sway is reduced significantly, you just can't be running or jogging for extended periods of time. Now, just to be safe, if you are talking about when your character is in fact rested, then I don't have any clue as to what to say.

You might just be delusional, but I seriously hope not. That'd be cool to kill.

I love going along the sides of the main road on the coast and cutting the trees down on either side of the road, making it impossible to see where you're going as you're driving or walking. I'd do it for as long as the chainsaw works, and lordy, lots of trees have fallen due to me.
