There are no refunds in play, there are no contracts on most (in any case my so I imagine the competition isn't far behind/ahead). BTW is there need for full disclosure here? (your profile seems to hint at involvement with a competing game server provider?). In any case, it's moot. No company will stop taking my money and will not block any server-side options you have as an admin, because they are part of the package. If that bothers some in the community, then the devs should take out time of day settings, ability to restart a server. See how long that lasts.

hi, my first post here, I checked the forum for any similar discussion on this, but couldn't find it in light of recent update from the devs. They write their focus will have a.o. the following: Animals & huntingCooking & gathering resourcesPlayable user customizable vehiclesPlayer created constructions in the environment So, assuming your not in the game to KOS everybody else, but instead want to mind your own business and live off the land like I do, which gun would you prefer (include loadout too pls and possibly in combination with announced side arms) if hunting does become an option soon. I carry the M4 but do so mostly to fend off other players (which is what's driven me into the woods more or less). thanks!

I noticed that my server now seems to no longer be able to freeze time but rather starts time from a certain hour, and then lets time pass for four hours until the next reboot. So whereas before 3AM would get you 24hrs of darkness, it now goes from 3AM until 7AM, before resetting back to 3AM. I noticed this today for the first time (which doesn't mean it was changed today or at all).

iZurvive has got a great (loot) map for DayZ standalone, and also has the same as an app for iPad and Android. Using it to plan routes, and to keep track of where I am (for lack of gps still). http://www.izurvive.com/chernarusplussatmap.html

pff i pay 60 euros a month to gameservers for my own server. I aim to make it private as soon as allowed to build something away from the KOS mentality. until then, I play on my server and sometimes prior to logging on change the hour of day to fit my mood. 20+ other gamers notice a restart and a change of day/night. Oh and a reset of loot and zombies. Big whoop. They log on, noone forces them, nobody gets kicked. guess what gameservers will do about it, not take my 60 euros but instead take your beans? Yeah, me neither.

Like it, but probably best to leave the rain coats as they are. What I would like to see, is less pocket space for a rain coat, but also taking up just one slot in your backpack. Just in real life, these coats can be rolled up into very small packages. It would allow you to keep one packed, and change gear when rain hits (which should have an effect on hypothermia, degradation of some products in your outer pockets (bag of rice!) etc. just like real life, really.

I saw another oldie Russian rifle, the SKS, is announced/confirmed(?). How would that hold up, could that be seen as an 'in between' weapon that bridges the M4 and the Mosin?

I hope they leave it unbuilt to be honest, or at least leave some wide open space. The north now feels like a real rugged, hostile but at the same time safe place. I get paranoid down south. Can't wait to build a small camp site and store (I heard in the mod they had tents where you could store 50 items on the same server as long as you checked in once every 7 days, that would be perfect. In fact I've seen the tents (not enterable) in some of the tent camps outside NW airfield and south of Balota airfield. If I can chop wood, make my own fire, cook my water and purify in some other crafted way without the need for tablets, hunt a rabbit and dress it and cook it, I'd only pop down for ammo and books or shirts (to start your fire, good luck with a log and a match).

I think I would agree. I just have spent a full 10 days (that's how long I haven't been killed more or less) on building my M4 platform with all pristine parts, even the RIS hand guard. Have the silencer and bajonet too but don't use them (the bajonet when attached sticks out like a sore thumb in the woods).

True, in fact I have the magpul buttstock and bipod and ACOG scope. I read somewhere though that the ACOG doesn't zoom as it's supposed to? For hunting I would say the long range scope would be a plus.
