Anyone knows when this update is going to go live?

I think the problem is that most of the 5.56 ammo players find are from clips, which always spawn fully loaded - not sure about the reasoning behind that decision. Why not just make the clips spawn empty? Would make much more sense that somebody discarded an emptied clip rather than a full one, right?

I don't think alcohol works. I usually get a "Sick" indicator after I use it to clean wounds. If I don't use it, my char is perfectly fine. @ OP - I think it's just a bug. I get it sometimes too. Just relog or change servers and your char should stop.

Is there some other way to use all 10 slots of the ammo box other than putting it on the ground? Apparently when taking the box into hands it only gives access to 6 slots - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=209487075 When you place it on the ground it usually vanishes for around 0.5 minute and then becomes visible, which causes me to worry about it on every occasion. :)

I've had 5 situations already where server-hoppers spawned literally 2m away from me. One time 5 guys spawned at the same time in one room near me - plainly ridiculous. I don't think any of those situations was used for ghosting me, just loot hopping I guess. Anyway, this leads to a situation, where all the military bases are almost completely cleaned and the rest of the map has no players at all. I'm afraid that DayZ is going in the same direction as WarZ, where there are a couple of places which respawns military loot where players server-hop constantly, and then they go to "PVP towns" when fully geared (like Cherno now). This completely killed the survival aspect of the game. Call me radical, but I would prefer sending people back to the coast every time they change servers. I don't care if I had to walk through the whole map to get back to my friends, a survival game should not be convenient.

Same as in the topic. Which one is better?

Yeah, that's the reason why I ditched the TActical Vest. Wonder if they are the same stat-wise though.

Thank you for sharing the very route I use to others :P there goes my survivability time :)

Apparently a char should die if you log out when unconscious so it doesn't matter if you killed or incapacitated them - they end up dead either way. Due to a bug, dead bodies disappear after few seconds from death. This is fixed in the new patch, which will be rolled out soon. Just try to avoid wasting bullets on people until then ;)

I never help people. Interaction with strangers is a first step to the grave. I usually tell them only once to get lost. If they don't turn around and run, or worse, start derping around, they get a bullet to the face. It's nothing personal. Just the risk is greater than reward. My advice to the OP - throw the "friendly?" mentality out the window. Always think in terms of gains and losses. Ask yourself the question "What's in it for me?". You'll survive the longest.

Weapon flashlights actually attach to the m4 but you need a RIS handguard installed on the gun. Also, 300 ammo box have 8 or 10 slots.

That's not the version OP was asking about. Those notes are for an older patch. I can't find the notes for the new one either.

I think Rocket simply ment that the price won't change (be it up or down) for a while from now.

I sometimes manage to get to the loading screen, but then I get "Connecting failed' and back to the lobby.

I am just curious about how this works in practise, i.e. How condition affects particular items. I'm going to just go along with categorising items and asking questions below each category. I know that every item in the game can get damaged if it's "container" (backpack, clothes, etc.) registers a hit, so I won't be asking about this. Tools (e.g. kitchen knives, screwdrivers, can openers, etc.) I know that tools get damaged when you simply use them. Like the can opener registers damage when you open a can. But what happens when its condition hits bottom? Is it removed from you inventory or simply won't open cans any more? Clothes (armour included) How does condition affects clothes in general? What can happen to my character if I keep wearing badly damaged jeans? I assume a badly damaged helmet does not protect my brain as good as a pristine one, but I'm not sure if this assumption is correct. Is it? Are clothes removed from my inventory if they get destroyed? Melee Weapons (axes, shovels, baseball bats, etc.) Does condition affect the stats of said weapons? I.e. Will my axe do less damage if it's almost broken? And a standard question, are melee weapons removed from my inventory if they get destroyed? Guns Do guns get damaged only when they register hits, or does shooting also reduces a gun's condition? I assume that condition also negatively affects gun's statistics, but again, I'm not sure if that assumption is correct, and I have no idea if all stats are affected, or just some of them. Would like to know that. :) That's probably all. I'll try to update this post with further questions I might have, and hopefully with answers if they come.
