Opeth ftw. \m/

As someone who road a bicycle 10 miles home from work every night at times varying from 11pm-4am for 16 months straight down back roads through the country and only turning on a light to signal passing/oncoming cars, I can assure you that even when there's a new moon it is plenty visible in real life outside. It's amazing what stars do.

Your 5m is greatly exaggerated. I've racked up about 200 zombie kills total with the hatchet in the last 2 days during my couple spawns, and it IS a bit of a distance they are most reliable at, but NOWHERE NEAR 5m. 1m is ARGUABLY the furthest it'd work, and they do work close up, but because they are technically working as guns, your crosshair has to be over them, not off at all. It also is perfectly possible to kill zombies without getting hit most of the time with practice. I got 30 zombies last time and only ended up down to 10500 blood.

I like this idea perhaps mp5sd mags and 9mmSD mags could be converted to Bizon (though something would need to be done on requiring differing numbers of mags as the Bizon has an enormous clip size). They technically do share caliber sizes, actually. It could be done like the shotgun shells, require 2 MP5 mags for a bizon mag. Seeing as MP5 ammo is rather hard to come by, at least in my experience, it wouldn't be overly plentiful either.

I'm glad I no longer have to hear FRIENDLIES IN AIRFIELD? while no one has any idea what airfield the guy stalking about. or even better FRIENDLY IN BARN?

I dunno how big your group is, but I play with 4 people usually and spawn rates are the same as the times I'm alone. There is never more than 3 zombies at a deer stand. As for 2, that's just DayZ being DayZ as is. 3. Again, that's just how it is in vehicles as of now. Zombies do not spawn until you get out, then they instantly spawn everywhere.

I think the main issue for me in this regard is the fact that zombies are so frequent in buildings recently and their sound is currently broken in such state (supposed to be fixed in the next patch). They basically instahear you before you even get to the building ,which fucks you over if you haven't found a weapon (and since most weapons are in buildings, ???). And yeah, bone breaking is kinda awful now in my opinion still.

It's helicopter only moreorless. I HAVE found a mag (and a Bizon) in the back of a UAZ I found, but that's even rarer than a helicopter crash probably, haha.

I insist, hold W and move your mouse around, sometimes you have to go left and right in situations, too. I have yet to find something I couldn't fit through. And like I said, if need you can vault and such to make it even easier. I've gotten in brown, red, and orange houses, upstairs in apartments, offices, and barns, and even navigated an entire barracks (over the bench in the doorway) prone. ITS POSSIBLE.

People playing like this are playing the game wrong. I've constantly played with a group of at least 4 people, and for a fair amount of time, 6, and a lot of the most entertaining and rewarding experiences I had were the risky trips to the coast to pick people up, or the attempts at meeting up with each other, or saving each other from terrible situations that happened while we were trying to meet up. One of my friends started bleeding with no bandages once and me and another friend literally got to him (after being going that way to get him for almost a half hour) and bandaged him and he ended up with 330 blood left and it was a combination of the most intense, funniest, and amazing game situations ever.

I dunno, I play on a server of 40+ people for around 6 hours a day and have not been shot at in any trip north for over 2 weeks now, so any in between traveling I multitask now anyways. Of course I stop places, but there's still plenty of time in between deer stands and towns. Plus, I guess it helps to mention my TV is huge and sitting up against my monitor, so I literally don't have to look away to view it, haha, it's not like I'm turned away holding W not even looking.

eh, I do these things often when traveling in general though. Running for a half hour north can get tedious. Of course I risk not hearing gunshots sometimes (though I try to keep volumes balanced enough I would), it'd be like if I were running in real life and wanted to listen to music to make the task more bearable. *shrug*

Civilian clothes should be the base starting clothing. I've never had issues switching back if I was wearing camo or something.
