Ugh double post, 1 click.

Perhaps KoS'ing new players is great fun. Perhaps its also a great way to turn some away from this game. Discouraging new players from playing is a poor way to promote this game as a player. IMO the bigger the player base, the longer this game will remain relevant. Essentially you are RP'ing a murderous maniac who kills only for the sheer pleasure of it. That's all good and sounds damn fun to me, but KoS breeds KoS. There's a lot to gain from helping players out, and actually a lot of murdrerous action can result from trying to do good for bad people! I encourage everyone to walk every path the game offers at some point!

The argument that cold canned food isn't as filling is pretty bunk. The cooking process softens foods and weakens their molecules making it easier to digest. Think raw pasta vs. overcooked pasta; raw digests slower. Satisfaction is a different story of course. I love the idea of unique rewards in the northern POI. And eliminating static military loot spawns. Maybe randomizing their spawn location between 2x as many spots as their are currently so hoppers don't camp the same buildings all day

I find the first 30 minutes as a fresh spawn are quite exciting. But for the impatient players all you can do is wait for the patch that cures this problem. Of all the times I've connected to a new server only once was I reset, and it happened to be in a barracks at Balota airfield. I managed to join the new server and saw the inside of the barracks, then was instantly shown the message that my progress was lost. This is also the only time I've hopped right on top of military loot.....
