The rifles and MG do not spawn with Mags so why should pistols ? Who the hell stores or leaves laying around a pistol or anything else with a Mag in it I seem to find enough pistol Mags,you need to really look and loot and loot again and again... but there there enough I seem to be able to eventually have two Mags for each pistol I carry,including the Amphibia mag I dont think thy need to make the game even easier than it already is to get armed to the teeth as it does not take much to get armed if anything...they should make it even harder to get armed Most stuff at Military bases and airfields have been looted by server hoppers I seem to find at least and kind of irates me as I spend countless hours running from one to another just to usually always find the places looted.Quite often I will be trying to loot,and someone will log in right in the next room lol The Mags are out there,for all the guns in game... you just need to look harder!

Spawn,starveing,thirsty,Gearup,die

I spend most my time in the North or Westeren part of the map,leaving the coast line for others lol I don't run into a lot of people but I do see others ever time I am travelling so people are out there in the countryside and not all are on the coast in the big cities. The map seems large enough to me and I have run around the entire map quite a few times along with visiting ever known village,city and landmarks such as castles and towers,damns etc. There is a lot of room up North for more villages/towns etc. and some areas look like there being readied for development so there is a lot more that can be done and will be done to this map at the size it is Even now with the new patch,the North looks much better and there is more to see ...and loot :)

prolly wanted your T-shirt for bandages lol ;)

I've seen shotguns in the long animal barns mostly known for producing clothes and the large mansion houses usually have Mosin's or shotguns and SKS's and that's in any village that has the large mansion house I rarely go to large cities,and only do loot runs onto airfields or military bases to find a LRS for my Mosin I like to carry as my weapon of chopice.

yes,seems strange considering I went through a few fire towers lately and seen all kinds of pistols lol I guess firefighters get pistols issued but not the police ;)

could be,it takes 30 seconds to log out do what they have done to deter combat logging once logged out your character emains where you logged out for 30 seconds and in that time a lot could happen if not in a very safe place for logging out

you just need to loot the military bases and airfields over and over again and again until you find what your looking for there usually snapped up by server hoppers cleaning these places out! There the only places I have seen these scopes,and they are there... you just need to be lucky to find one

Yes I am finding the view distance consistant with 10x50 vision for the Z :) 80 to 90 percent of there hits make one bleed for sure,I would like to see mabye 60 percent of hits from Zeds producing a bleeding condition myself. Not everyone,or anyone I know starts off in a game as an expert,with that the new guy needs a fighting chance at least.Maybe just be but they do still seem a bit harsh in that sense. They seem to catch up to me easily,and almost impossible to "run away" from without getting tagged with the bleeding/badage ritual occuring again and again. I do believe it is most likely my Lag that makes me not able to run from them as the cities bring me down into a slide show sometimes below 10 fps mighty hard to run in what seems like one second bursts lol but again must be my low specs,the desync /lag issues so should get back what I use to get for FPS after hotfix so no big deal there really as some don't have the lag desync issue and everything is to some even running smoother.I am all for tough,mean and more Zeds but still within reason otherwise eventually it would be good to have sperate servers wityh harder Zeds in a Veteran server aposed to a Regular with mabye not so harsh of Zeds The eagle eye vision definately needs to be cut down fer sure,damn things can see better than I can :0) I am pretty sneaky,usually get 15 to 25 hours per character since my third character from starting the game and I'm happy with that I get some fullfillmet having a character alive that lenght of time and hope for longer in the future as I get better.I'm usually killed at airfields or miltary bases and even then mostly by base camper/server hoppers logging in while I am looting and bang I'm dead while looting a building and not do to me running in there and just going loot crazy as I creep in and check the area out circling the area and doing a lot of watching .I spam the "P" key keeping track of players and amounts to access risk at certain times on servers I play on to keep my risk low So being stealthy is ok with me,I usually loot at night or early dawn or late dusk when the Zeds can't seem to see as good.I creep around crouched down,and look...look and look some more as I sneak around.Usually having no trouble at all in avoiding them but now it is impossible to avoid them it seems and with 80 to 90 success rate to make you bleed it is a major chore. I spend all my time in the woods,and rarely do loot runs only when needing to.Now I have run into quite a few Zeds standing around out in the woods and that's cool as the woods are not safe now :) We must not just think of what we or I want as seasoned players ,but must remember the new guy and how he must try and survive.Sure it is a similator to some realist but it is still a game and games are meant to be fun even difficult games.At 300 hours playing now I am getting the hang of the game and usually don't have much trouble but I am now and truly can not imagine what a new player would be able to do to deal with them. I totally agree with everything you say though,the more I got to check out the new patch playing Again all I say is only IMHO ;) Edit> I mentioned above that third character and since have lasted usualy 10 to 25 hours or so but that was wrong my first two dayz playing DayZ I must have died a thousand deaths lol Third day however I made it to the NWAF and since then each character I seem to manage alright from 10 to 25 hours per character ;)

Harder ? You have to be kidding... On a LRS,barely even able to see the Zombie from way up in the woods he suddenly turns and runs right at me They can see for miles now,this "re-spawning" is bullshit once you shoot them or axe them to death they should be gone forever! Doesn't make sense having them respawn afterkilling one,that is not very realistic at all They can run faster than a human now,especially if your suffering from all the Lag in and around cities I myself can not even think of going anywhere near anywhere that has food or water do to this as it is absolutely impossible for me to enter a village or city without getting killed by being swarmed by Zombies.They hit once,your bleeeding and then can not even run away to badage the wound. They state of the new Zombies makes the game not only unplayable,but so difficult the game is no longer fun at all! Of coarse,this is all just IMHO

Ah Ha! So this is why I can not find no little yellow boxes :)

They should then be making the raincoats able to be put on over top of whatever you are wearing! In fact any coat should be able to go over a shirt? who takes there shirt off ...to wear a coat lol A raincoat,is meant to be wore over top of your normal cloths nobody in the real world takes off there shirts and or whatever to put a raincoat on!

I have a short story I would like to share While cruising around the map just the other day,looking for a LRS and after spending 10 to 12 hours running back and forth from airfield to military base back and forth over and over for quite a few days.... (mostly do to everywhere being cleaned out by server hoppers but thats besides the point) I am just the other day looting a Barracks,and I hear this voice....."I'm friendly" "Hello,I;m friendly....please don't shoot me" By that time ,I had a M4 with a scope drawn and up aimed right at him as he stood just outside the front door of the Barracks I was in. Feeling nervous,as I usually get shot and killed in these instances and have yet to be able to trust anyone at all.... Nick,as I found out his name later keeps talking to me saying he is friendly and to please don't shoot him... I told him I am also frinedly,and that I am only looking for a LRS and that he can have everything else that is around! I creep up to the doorway leading out of the barracks,eventually leaving the somewhat saftey of the building looking around for any friends he may have as I am a suspicious person now in DayZ. Nick,he just keeps talking,"I'm friendly ,please don't shoot me","I have a LRS,if you want it you can have it" He has a Mosin shouldered,with the PU scope on it.He picks a LRS out of his inventory and places it on the ground and backs away.all the time saying "please don't shoot me" Maybe he didn't have any ammo forthat Mosin he had shouldered,I don't know,most I have met shoot on sight with no conversation! So I pick up the scope and eventually I calm down and start to talk to him and after a bit of conversation I shoulder my weapon.We chat a bit about where we been,how long we have had our characters happening etc. I ask him if he needs anything,a canteen for water,food,drinks,compass...and no he says he doesn't need anything. Has all he needs,doesn't use the LRS and likes his PU Scope better Traded a M4 rigged out to his buddy for the Mosin and found the LRS awhile back After almost 300 hours in DayZ,and not meeting a single friendly person.... I meet Nick,and... he gives me exactly....what I was looking for,what I always look for! My eyes are not that great in RL,I use the LRS in place of not having binoculors Thats all I use it for other than trying my luck shooting the odd Zombie from as far away as I can I have yet to kill anyone,and still feel I have no reason to Thank you Nick,that was a special day for me and a great experience meeting someone like you in DayZ I really love the concept of the game,and I wish there was more like you around as it gets lonely from time to time running around looting and carrying on and it was very nice having a conversation with someone...let alone getting one of my most prized possesions/loot given to me This act of kindness,makes up for all the bad I have expeienced and gone through at the hands of maniacs etc even makesup for dealing with glitches,bad patches,and any other misfortunate experiences For me,this was a great experience Again,thank you Nick and it was nice meeting you in DayZ! S~

Must be just bad luck,not meeting any friendly's Although once,way up North looting a town at night...as I was in a building someone walked in to the same building with a flashlight turned on scared the crap out of me,he said he was friendly but I just got up and ran like hell out the door turned a few corners and layed down prone in the grass. He left the building looking all around as he jogged out of town. There were only two people online in that server after I checked the P key Go figure,huge map only two people and who do you bump into in the middle of the night lol Could also be,as I re-visit military bases and airfields a lot All known to be hot zones and may just be why I do not meet many friendlys lol I guess I have run into some friendly's here and there though,but Nick was the first I actually met ;) I am still playing that same character on Regular,and I still have the LRS he gave me :)

Ya ,that was funny lol thanks for sharing!

Exactly.... Why call it "stable" when it is unstable ever patch lol As Killvana posts,is not experimental for experimenting ? why experiment with people running the so called stable game ? when pushing to stable,the patch should be stable! Alpha winers/fan boys need not reply

Hope they test it a hell of a lot better than the patch!

@ Sleezy what should I say ? Hooray,I can not use my game again,thank you Devy Gods ? Your just a typical Dev/DayZ Fan boy!

Great.... another "game breaking patch"! logged in,could not open doors or use inventory.Game keeps session kicking me,have lost both characters do to Zombies killing me in between these session kicks as logging back in over and over...or at least trying to log back in I notice I am bleeding and next log in I am back on the beach. Now I can not even get the game to start..."please wait" is all that happens with a dialog box coming up about no 9mm damage texture A dialog box that is "unclickable" and then the game crashes and back to the lobby to try another server.... The whole time having to wait....and wait....and wait 120 seconds....284 seconds and on and on do to the new server jumping/combat logging garbage implemented. After an hour,of just "trying to start the game and trying to play it" I have given up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks,for breaking the game again! I know,I know...."it's only Alpha" the Fan Boys will all scream lmao except this Alpha excuse is just that,it has become an excuse!

I've found numerous mags for the FNX,have even had up to four at one time. There more common to find on airfields more than military bases IMHO

Seperate individual Hives for each server would end server hopping completely, there would be no advantage to hop servers if each server you had a different character playing a different role. It is the one Hive concept for all servers that allows server hopping to be done! I would not like random respawns,I put considerable time and effort into keeping my character alive and healthy Nor would I care to see lott being randomized as it makes sense looting airfields and military bases for miliary gear etc. Country estates for shotguns and rifles etc. Maybe once the dust settles and Alpha has turned to beta or better... individual servers can possibly create there own hives so only on that server... You get to log on next...with what you logged off with! that is,at least IMHO

Twinkies last a long time ;) http://bangordailynews.com/2012/11/21/news/hancock/38-year-old-twinkie-worlds-oldest-still-a-sweet-treat-at-blue-hill-school/

Airfields and Milatary bases should be made into Red zones you can not log into or out of, same as inside any buildings IMHO There has to be some way to force people to only log out and in while in the forest, and it's about the only way I see to prevent this server hopping abuse that goes on in DayZ. I see a lot of people camp out at the airfields logging in and out,hopping server to server to Gear up Fast food mentality,I want it and I want it now....Fast!

Not only are Shotguns all over the place as Flygamer1 mentions but with the hacksaw you can saw them down and carry them in your Back-pack ;) Edit>Nice sight BTW ,haven't come across one of those yet although I have found the silencers

Lately I have died several times with no explanation or clue as to what happened to me, it is becomeing a pain as it is always after several hours of game play and oafter I have accumulated what I like to carry. This last time just now I was running along over an open field and my character seemed to fall down into the prone position, and he grunted.I then could not stand or crouch without him grunting and laying back down.I proceeded to crawl then,but did not get very far as I just up and died ? Another time ,my last character was on a military base and I walked around a corner and that was it the screen went blank and I was dead.I have died several times like this,no gunshot sound,no warning of any kind just all of a sudden "you are dead|" Makes it almost not even worth while trying to accumulate anything,as I seem to have to always start over from scratch after several hours of time with a character.Becomeing such a frustration it makes me pretty much not wanting to try any more with the game. Each character that dies on me is always long after I have secured weapons,scopes,clips and plenty of food. Then..... you are dead happens ? it is driving me nuts now,to the point the game does not seem worth investing any time into it anyone else with this happening ?
