When I care a lot.. I treat it like stages, and I clear the area 1 stage at a time. You see a town or lootable site at a distance.. scan the area, any signs of players? Doors open, Zeds around? Circle the area, clearing from a far distance first.. move in closer, repeat. Once inside, clear the building first.. top to bottom. Then loot. When I dont care I sprint everywhere and loot like Im in a riot that is ending in an hour and I have to get as much as I can before the timer runs out. ;) Sprinting and moving quick tends to not give others the time to properly react and surprisingly is effective in keeping you alive. Outside of Berezino that is.. dont try that there. You die quick, I would assume.

It simply has not. Its been out since December. Games take longer than 4-5 months to develop out of an early alpha stage. You want to see what money does to rush a game? Look at the COD and BF games. Consumers suffer when developers lose control of the ability to take the time to do it right. Billions can be made, and serious mistakes will still be present. I could go on and on for at least an hour on why people need to relax and do some more research on what it means to be part of an early release alpha. But that would be crazy.. and Im fresh out today.

No thanks. That would be a waste of my time. Speaking of...

Money does not equate to progress.

It helps.. but from what Ive seen its only a bandaid on an issue that is insurmountable. Admins have to be available 24/7 via an IRC or similar method, then they must check the logs to ensure someone is hacking.. by then so much damage is done that if you want to keep people happy you have to do character rollbacks after you kick and ban the hacker.. all of this takes time and effort. Then you have the server and website hacking by those you banned seeking revenge. DDOS attacks shutting down your servers randomly.. website getting hacked, etc.. Its a vicious circle. Im just giving context to your statement.. thats all.

Even then you still have hacker issues, and then the inevitable character rollback to keep your community happy.. Trust me, Ive been there. BMRF.me.

The only solution is become a hacker yourself, much better than the common video game hacker... and track each one down, and disable their PC for good. Maybe even start a club that does it as a nameless, faceless collective? Name yourselves something like.. Ambiguous. ;)

This was what.. 2 weeks ago now? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/187826-stable-branch-044123800-discussion/

Banditry is foreign to me.. and feels for some reason wrong. I dunno, I dont judge though. For me the closest I ever have got to it is making contact with players prior to engaging them, and giving them the option to leave alive or to fight to the death.. most choose the former which makes it boring and a waste of my time. Ive moved on to shooting and burying survivors I come across, in the hopes of saving the rest of humanity and civilization from the spreading infection. ;)

Its gonna be spray and pray city over there in Berezino come AKM time.. I have a feeling the dispersion will be horrendous to balance the overall stats of the weapon vs. others. And unlike the M4 you more than likely wont be able to better that dispersion through attachments. Or it will be completely OP and the weapon of choice for EVERYONE.. lol

Even if we could use the hotkeys for looking around.. like my number keypad, when I hit 9 it looks behind me to my right. If we could do that while reading, it would be PERFECT.

I often resort to reading the bible while waiting for people to come visit me at the NWAF.. One time I sat down in front of the firestation and read the entire book of Genesis before getting up and eventually logging out. Of course I had no idea that while I was reading the player count had dropped to 2 (nighttime). lol

I was already laughing.. and then you dropped this bombshell.

1. Alive 2. Dead ..that is all I've seen.

Burying bodies must stay. Its been since day one, and should NEVER be taken out. Ever.

Being stuck in a wall.

Why thank you good sir!

I am an old timer.. and I know about all of that. ;) ..and I agree it was one of the few maps that was worth playing, with the change of scenery and great map design. Now as far as this being a possible easter egg; Consider that they remade the map, and left this in. With the other things in the map.. Ive got an inkling that they have some ideas for DLC, and this just may be a hint of that. BIS is known for its paid DLC maps, and how well they tend to sell. Once final release hits, they would be foolish to not release a new map 6 months-1 year down the road. Outside of mods, and one of the few things that will keep this community alive.

Someone out there is serious about his revenge.. or a complete idiot about where to post his astral love spam.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the hell did this post go unnoticed for so long? Great post Elle.. love the dayz story time. Keep it up :)

That can be arranged.. in fact, you were promoted to Queen!

Im sure it does for many, many people.. do it. Meow.

I almost always see them unless its through a building.. maybe your settings are off? Ensure your OBJECT setting is at or above NORMAL. This helps with objects rendering at distance on your monitor. Besides that.. maybe its just situational awareness?

You're right.

..so no duck hunt? awww... ;)
