I miss SackHead. Some of the best times I ever had!

They need to hurry up. I always fancied myself as a Cannabis Farmer!

Great... won't someone think of my frames!

I play on a public shard, I like it, I also play on a private shard, I like it. The public shard is the 'fuck around, be a dick' character, whereas the private shard is for more 'serious' play. Both are fun and I'm glad that we have a choice and the two characters are not bound to both.

Water is plentiful, you really don't need to carry that much, takes less then 5 minutes to find a watering hole! 4-6 cans of food? Are you just sitting around doing nothing for hours at a time? Without Zombies, one set of rags or a bandage will suffice. If you already have a pistol, do you need a sawn off shotgun? Sticks can be found pretty much everywhere. No need to carry a built one with you. Sewing and leather kits are found every bloody where, no real need to have one with you at all times. A stone knife is all the knife you need. tbh, you don't even need a can opener if you have the one slot goodness of a stone knife! Cooking equipment? Use a stick like a real man! Real men can use nature to provide us with fire. No need for matches anymore. I'm a terrible shot, but I've never needed a gazillion rounds of ammo. I've found one full stack to be enough to get the job done. Drop all the tat you don't really need, bro and you too can feel the freedom that only a nice, soft, 2-stripe lesiure suit can provide.

So whats the issue? Public servers are the hoppers domain, it does not surprise me that they have moved on to hopping bases (which to be honest, takes some decent coordination and a fair amount of time if you have a good amount of barrels). If I'm ever near my 'base' when I log out I'll often take the things of value and dump my shit in the barrels. I figure, if you wanna find bases and not have them 'disappear' you might wanna try a private shard.

I can carry everything I'll ever need with a full tracksuit and a crafted bag. What the hell are you guys carrying around?

6 months at the most for me. Although some of the cars look like they haven't moved for many moons!

I refuse to wear anything other then a full leisure suit. Not fussy on the colour, but it has to be pristine!

Civilisation is the reason for kiling each other. If I can grow more food then my neighbour, I can feed more people. If I can feed more people, chances are I can draw upon more manpower in which to fight my neighbour and defeat him. Giving me more wealth, land and manpower in which to repeat the cycle. DayZ is more like the first guy planting a seed rather than trying to recreate civilisation. Unless you are a family member (known friend) or part of my tribe (clan) then you are a threat, until proven otherwise and you'll be killed if needs be.

In it's current state? Even when we just had the mod, all it was, was just a DM with the need to eat and drink every now and again. I'm all for making the enviroment more of a threat, but no matter how harsh you make it, people will still try and kill you.

Is cooking still bugged? Did a rare spot of fishing the other day, caught myself a pristine pair of wellies and a carp. Tried to cook the carp using the 'fillet on a stick' method. The model in game changed from raw to cooked to burnt but the description still said raw! Din't bother eating it, seeing as I was already sick from drinking out my canteen. Can drink from ponds and pumps with no problem, soon as I drink from a canteen, my wounds get itchy. Every time. Either the canteen is bugged, my character is bugged, or I'm just unlucky...

Fuck me... over two years and people are still crying about PvP and Kill on Sight! Give people access to guns and ammo in a game with other people and bitches are gonna get rekt'd. Nothing the Devs add or take away from the game will ever stop this!

Banned from a particular server or by BE?

Me and a mate took all the wheels off a truck (except the middle ones, they wouldn't come off) and upon server restart the wheels were back on, only we couldn't remove them anymore. A tyre lug is not needed is it? We didn't need one when we took em off the day before.
