Anti-material rifles have a crazy range to go along with their high power though. More than the M24. More weapons=/=better. People have already pointed out how silly it is to have certain weapons in Chernarus. EDIT: If you're looking for weapon variety and pulling off distance shots, I'd recommend Wasteland for that type of gameplay. Plus you even have the "material" to go with your anti-material rifles.

What? _________ I look forward to similar experiences. Personally I'm afraid of the cheapest type of player being who I'm up against, who will hop to another server, get behind me, then hop back in and shoot me. Until server hopping is fixed, assuming it will be, I'm too afraid to take on these KoS people.

The helmets I don't mind, I don't see many people wearing them myself, but I'm also always away from the coast. Not a fan of the masks, to be honest. I'd love masks, but Payday 2 masks just throws me off. I just look forward to more masks being added that are more practical and not game-related. I assume they will become more popular than the Payday masks and no one will wear those "lame" masks.

Couldn't I just find backpacks and start a crazy collection? And a note showing where I lost them all? ______ What was wrong with tents? This seems like easy-mode but I may just be interpreting it wrong, except that last bit about the coords. Backpacks have a purpose, trust me, I use them all the time and love them for all they do. They have drawbacks too. Some of them, especially these hiking packs, are brightly colored, which can give you away in PvP, that's the cost of lugging around all that garbage you've grown attached to. Starter kits - No. Just gear up. People do this with tents anyway, they run to them and re-gear. This just makes it far more convenient for them. Scavenging - You can already drop it off and hope it's there when you get back. However, as I said above, they come with risks. You're supposed to be risking all of your gear, not saving it before you get your hands dirty. Fighting - Same as above Lack of purpose - The purpose is there...their backpack helps me keep track of them and assures me they're a nut worth cracking. Coords - Hell no. You better keep track of your gear just like people have in the Mod. It's not hard. Nothing should just be given to you except a flashlight for those dark knights and some clothes for decency's sake.

Not sure if facial customization is coming as well, but if it does that will change it quite a bit as well. That's what I used in the mod with my friends, as well as their gear and whatever their clothes look like to me.

Alpher More clothes and weapons will be added. There's more to clothes than gasmasks and guns though. You have hats, shirts, packs, pants, gloves, vests and their melee weapons to go off of, as well as their last known position relative to you. If you have everyone dressed uniform of course it's going to get confusing. That's a choice you guys made. You can change it up easily to solve your woes.

Who said we don't want them due to the lack of realism? I'm not running with a massive crew or anything, but I've had no problem distinguishing friends and strangers from each other. If I see someone I can tell by their attire and equipment if I know them and if I do who they are. That's one thing I really enjoy about being able to play dress up in DayZ.

People were server hopping in the mod when you could just cycle loot. They will always server hop if they can. You like to think nothing spawns out there but there are literally entire towns completely untouched that I've come across and feasted at. I like how even when Rocket takes his time to release you still want to say, "THIS should have been fixed BEFORE release." Really? I've had fun. It's nice and cozy once you get off the coast. Finally, what's stopping you from exploring? _____________ The problem isn't where the loot spawns, it's that people can just server hop to get it or go camp it until restart. Semi-random restarts may help one part of that, there are other solutions to server hopping people have suggested.

You knew your little story would get some jimmies rustled, don't pretend otherwise. Server hopping is bad at the moment and I'm sure most people showing off their gear or boasting about something great they have in bulk just hopped around to get it. As someone who hasn't hopped around, sometimes hunger can actually become an issue itself, let alone going from town to town with barely any ammo until you finally get lucky.

Yeah but we've gotten by just fine without them in the mod. Why would we suddenly need them? You get used to actually seeing what people have better when you're not reading a name everytime you see someone. If you want their ingane name, have them type a message in direct.

We have different clothes we can wear now. I recognize my friends when I see them even with the small amount of attire we've got going on currently. I much prefer that over having to rely on nameplays.

There's a lot you can look into to find out this and more but here we og. Vehicles will be added. Some form of base building too. Animations I don't think will be changing much. Try ArmA 2's. Tents I really don't know but wouldn't be surprised considering they were in the mod. Define "camps" There's enough food but animals will be added which you can kill, gut, and eat. The world isn't big enough? Not enough terrain?? Maybe they'll make Altis work and you just won't know what to do with yourself.

Ah well for that we'd need belt slots, which I'm not against, but I feel like we've got plenty of space currently as it is. Utilize all of them pockets. If they did this then we'd need more than just a pistol holster to add as that's an entirely new clothing slot. Web belts for even more inventory space maybe. _________ Let's focus on fixing before we focus on adding. That's how I see it.

Yeah I don't understand why you'd even want some of these. I only prefer having the PU for my Mosin because then the rifle isn't blocking part of my target, but barely makes a difference. I don't understand it, and I do hope that they're fixed. I can't imagine it'd be difficult, but I don't know anything so I'll just say "please".

now go on empty server go onto roof in popular area log into populated server kill die repeat

There is a holster for your pistol, it's a chest slot. EDIT: To help you out a bit more, I've seen it in school, houses, and the...hospital-ish buildings that I'm not sure if they're hospitals or not... I think one of them was the "TEC" building from ArmA 2 in Cherno.

They seem really rare to me. Good luck getting them and stay safe.

Haven't been to Devil's but I was at Zub and found nothing. Different server hours later my friend was at Zub and found nothing. As in no loot at all. To me it seems some buildings just don't spawn much, if anything at all, currently.

I'd wager those sights are likely at the same place you get the M4A1 from, but I could truly be wrong. I've never seen any M4 attachments, but if I were after them I'd run to the places I've seen all the M4s I've crossed. If you're trying to server hop to get this loot quick 'n easy and asking where to server hop, just don't...

T changes it but I don't think there's any visible indicator on what it's currently set to which is annoying.

Haven't personally experienced but I find the coast and high value military spawn places to be dreadful and filled with the scummiest of scum, so maybe avoiding those has helped. You'll find that many players, especially on US servers, are American, and many of them are young men (or boys) so they're going to behave as such. Even I've jokingly told people in the DayZ Mod to "get the fuck on the ground" only to laugh it off and go separate ways right after.

Learn to the read the signs throughout Chernarus. http://www.friends-partners.org/oldfriends/language/russian-alphabet.html Print that off and keep it in front of you while you play. If you have ArmA 2, go for a drive reading the signs out loud to yourself. You'll memorize it better this way and you'll be all set.

If the server hopping is fixed people won't have much of a choice.

I think the idea is more about communicating with strangers. Personally I like not having sidechat but being able to cycle through frequencies listening or broadcasting while you chill out in some quiet town.

Alternatively you can use google and print out a sheet that has the alphabet and basic rules. It's cool that they added this so maybe more people will read the signs...but I doubt it since that means reading books too.
