99% of players congregate at Balota, the two military camps, NWAF and NEAF. That's it. Not that I'm complaining, as that leaves the rest of the map for the real DayZ players.

I never said or implied that you were bitching about this. But this opening statement shows a clear intent to post something just for the reaction that you already think will result from that post. That is the definition of trolling. The forums have now chiiirped on this, so: Very good. Well done. You're a really hard man. Now crawl back in your hole and die, please.

The only valid piece of info there is the 3PP:ON. The admin knows he can't enforce those rules, we know he can't enforce those rules, so your only point of posting is to troll. Very good. Well done. You're a really hard man. Now crawl back in your hole and die, please.

There's your problem, right there! We don't believe in God any more! Plus we're too busy chasing the server hopping whores up at NWAF.

No. I'm a supporter of PvE, but there still has to be something that stops people doing bone-head stuff. This is not comparable to the 1PP/3PP debate. This changes the fundamental premise of DayZ: SURVIVE!

Hmm.... I want to see the video where he even thinks about touching the brakes!

Sorry, that was deemed unPC and discriminatory against all the people who won't or couldn't buy the game. You are also not allowed to feel smug or even support a faint air of superiority over your ownership of the game.

Yes! Yes! And you need magic beans and more guns and zero-point energy devices and more guns and chemelion suits and more bigger guns and hairstyles and more guns and nukes and.... And you need them all at start in you inventory when you spawn in the control tower of NWAF.

And their fielders keep crowding the plates. But with bases loaded and bottom of the 9th, I'd rather have the bat than the ball.

Then go play The Walking Dead! Simple! This is DayZ not some US pop culture TV program, and loot of the type you describe is not meant to be found everywhere you look. DayZ at the time you spawn is a world depleted of everything: food, drink, medicines, firearms, ammo and people. It should have nothing to do with efficiency how ever you're meaning that in the OP. Survival in DayZ is not meant to be GUARANTEED. You are meant to be spending ALL your time just trying to stay alive.

If you're coming from the Mod, bone up on ther thirst/hunger/sickness stuff here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159251-merinos-in-depth-video-guides-updated-jan-15th-understanding-sicknesses-and-surviving-poisoning/. Everything else is close enough to the Mod to make no difference. If not coming from the Mod, see the above threads and go look at the http://dayzdb.com/map and get your bearings. Or if you like the 'fog of war' type approach, get a copy of this one: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3745/12024194454_3d7beca0b1_o.jpg. (It's a big image 180+ MB, not created by me. I couldn't find the original posters link, but have it mirrored). No labels or loot spawn info. Just the map and building locations. Either way, just get in game and play!

Currently they will be visible a long way out from where they are placed, but they don't illuminate the surrounding area.

TBH, if you are able to get anywhere close to 25~30 FPS in town, then you're doing it right. The RV engine isn't known for delivering massive frame rates. Also, if you're thinking DayZ is going to be a FPS shooter, you WILL be disappointed. That style of game/engine is done far better elsewhere.

You're doing it wrong! You need to get a 60-round mag and start stacking ammo in 60-round stacks.

Yet another PvP Bandit Guide. 3/10.

I'm not going to say those things, since you've already said them. But that doesn't change the fact that they are all true. TBH, a few minutes with the search function and you could have found multiple threads already discussing these topics. If you were intent on adding something innovative to those discussions, that would have been the appropriate places to put them.

And then they come to the forums or watch a few YT vids and then say 'Fuck no!'.

They weren't removed, ffs.They were in the MOD! They were never in the SA! They are still in the MOD!

I reject your utilitarianism. In fact I doubt its even that, and not merely moral relativism. I also reject your classification of all people as hypocrites as a gross generalisation. To the OP: Welcome to the dark side. It isn't an easy path to take as you have to go out of your way and place yourself in a position to lose everything. But we get to save the world one fresh spawn at a time.

As a lefty, I'm declaring that as tantamount to Hate Speech! It's the only thing they've got right!

I have no problem with your suggestion, as long as they are entirely in the DayZ world and is not priviledged like the Global Inventory of that other zombie game that shall not be mentioned. I want to be able to sneak in and steal your stuff, or at least have the opportunity to do so. This would add a lot to the DayZ game other than what is readily apparent.

The world is supposed to be messy and untidy. Random loot represents the random chaos caused by multiple uncoordinated and individual attempts to combat the zombie apocolypse. We're coming in after most of the frenetic activity has ended and are left with only the leftovers from the initial struggle.

They reduced the storage requirements for the gas mask, so it's feasible that they'll look at some of the other items as well.

DayZ: Weight Watchers Edition.

People are already bitching about FPS with everything the way it is, and you want to cut that in half again for... grass. There is no optimisation possible that is going to allow for a 4x volume increase to grass display. Sorry, the devs are all out of unicorn fairy dust. There are just some things that we are going to have to accept because the is a 'game' played in an computed enviroment and we don't have infinite resources to throw at it.
