I was going to suggest this but found yours. They need to be stackable like the rags. Also, it would be nice to have a box that you could store them in. I'm guessing they haven't done this yet because each battery has its own power level, and when you start stacking, I'm not sure it could keep track.

Give me a break. People aren't personally insulting you, they're criticizing your behavior in-game. It's sad that you guys can be such douchebags in-game, but then expect us to treat you with respect on these forums. If you dont want people calling you a douchebag, don't act like one in-game.

You can actually carry 3, one on your back, one in your hands, and then a sawed-off shotgun in your backpack.

You can paint the cmags.

The sawed off is arguably the best zombie protection gun in the game. You don't even have to aim.

He means they should restrict the restarts to a minimum of (for example) 6 hours. Currently the hardcore server I'm forced(due to it being populated) play on advertises "fast loot" meaning they restart it frequently, to inject more loot into the world. This goes against the nature of a hardcore experience.

Logging in and seeing someone right in front of me, say hello and promptly receive bullets to the face. It has happened 3 times now.

Edit: This is a long term thing, I understand it can't happen until loot/zombies spawn and bugs are fixed. I know it's alpha, but I just don't enjoy them. They've become a standard practice in the mod and I hate it. Nothing kills the mood like that red text saying no message from server. Example, today met some nice guy who didn't talk much, but we looted towns together, raided the military bases, confronted some other survivors, and then got into an intense scene at the NWAF, I was shot and passed out in one of the hangers, after 5mins I regained concousness and found my friend guarding right behind me, we regrouped and gathered our thoughts, pushed out into the airfield and flank around where I suspected the shooter to be, spotted him and took fire as I stormed the firestation he was on, turned around expect to see my friend.... red text. I'm not saying it has to be done now or anytime even soon, but I want the goal of DayZ to have servers that run for weeks. I want to be able to drop shit in the bushes and come back the next day and it be there. I've done it on Takistan Life servers, it is possible. The only thing stopping it is people accepting any less.

Has anyone else imposed your own difficulties on yourself while playing this game? For example, I've started only drinking from wells, and never from ponds.

Which is why I said they were imposed difficulties. You have to force yourself to respect logic and not drink dirty water.

I think it should look at how many items are in a radius and clean up dropped items in that area. That way people could pile up some stuff in a remote area of the forest without worrying about them disappearing, but if you drop a ton of stuff in an area that already has a lot of loot, it gets cleaned up eventually.

I took your advice and searched, found another thread where you were so kind as to tell people to search. Then found the 64 post thread http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/166878-berry-picking/ that you clearly read. Long story short, nobody has found any berries in-game yet. Don't be such a dick and tell people to search when you could sum up the entire situation in one sentence.(or even one word.)

I've never really seen him talk about server up time. Having zombies and loot respawning, doesn't necessarily mean server restarts will be eliminated.

I don't like this line of thinking because you're basically accepting a broken product. If the server is slowly breaking itself over time, that's an issue that needs to be resolved, not worked around.

Sigh. So difficult to have a discussion about game development on these forums. Put it in big red letters and people still ignore it and reply to the thread title.

Pistol holster isn't useless because it's a lot easier to get one of those than a vest.

Hopefully they fix the ability to draw weapons out of your backpack. It's kind of silly that I have an m4, sawed-off, pistol and fireaxe at the push of a button, yet the only thing slightly visible is the m4. It's almost like a GTA game where you can carry around 20 large weapons and tens of thousands of rounds of ammo on your person. I'm all for letting people carry multiple weapons, but to pull them out of a backpack instantly is just too much.

But Joe Blow hopped 5 servers at balota and didn't find nutin. ITS BROKEN! actually no its working great

Complaints should be looked at on a case by case basis, grouping them all together in a dismissive matter(to not clog up the forums) is just ignorant.

I really like the new scarcity of loot. It's out there, you just gotta look for it.

Exactly, a good start would be items persisting after restarts. So, if you were looting a building during a restart, it's not going to have new loot, it'll save the stuff from before. This would also work with stuff left on the ground. I think they should work harder on cleaning up areas where there are too many items, rather than rely on a full wipe every restart. Of course loot and zombie respawning needs to be worked in. Maybe have areas that haven't seen players in a couple hours respawn loot AND zombies. The best thing they could do at this point would be changing the restarts to a soft restart, so players just get a loading screen for a minute or so as the server restarts. Kicking people completely offline is just too much. I have faith that in the end they will be able to build a game that requires no restarts. I just hope they push for it sooner rather than later.

Restarts are getting even worse with all these servers that think more restarts spawning more loot means amazingly fun times. Except I don't enjoy having the world I play in reset over and over and over and over and over again. Having my gameplay interrupted by red text isn't fun, having to navigate the broken server browser(seriously why do servers remove themselves from my lists? just show them as offline ffs!) trying to get back into the server you were just on, isn't fun. Fuck the restarts, i would take no new items for a month if it meant restarts would be phased out. They're hurting the feeling of the game for me. That and the "Player is losing connection" messages need to go. /rant

Sawed-off fits nicely in my backpack beside my fire axe.

For example the vitamins should stack into a single bottle. Same with two water bottles, canteens, and anything else that could be logically combined into one.
