You will need to carry around vitamins and extra set of clothes most likely very soon, also you need sticks. Carry enough of everything that will set you up to kill for a couple days without needing to take risks . Also, the mosin sux ass imho, get a sks and some body armor.

Also, this server is for DayZ (Arma 2) .. not compatable with the Standalone version. thank you again for your replies, I wil continue to fish =)

Thank you for the info, as an American player I am wondering if there might be one more local than Europe.

Tired of hackers and looking to find a regular server relatively hacker free that has a general population of at least 30 players. Please shoot me a message or simply reply to this post. Would love to join you!

I logged in earlier as a fresh spawn and went afk in nearby house for a quick minute to grab a PB&J sandwich, toasted mmm. And my wife says, someone just knocked you unconscious. So I come back, and there I am lying on the floor unconscious. While waiting to see if I'm going to be pummeled to death or not I say, "Hi there." The response back is hi =) So in a moment of communication, he failed to knock me unconscious again. So I return the favor and knock his ass out. And I do this for about 10 minutes, until I start to get bored. Eventually he crying about how he doesn't care (he is obviously a preteen) etc. So I eventually nudge his unconscious body out the door, where I strip him of his spawn shirt, pants and running shoes and continue beating him until he bleeds. We are of course out in the middle of almost nowhere. He asks for his shirt back so he can make rags and stop the bleeding. I tell him that would be helping, and take off for inland. Have nice day kid!

I think this is mostly a pedantic argument. However, you are incorrect survivibility is not probable on servers that have been online / restarted for more than a couple hours for a fresh spawn without outside help. I have tested this several times in the 20 hours that I have played on the experimental servers. There is a difference between fair enough and a snowballs chance in hell. But possibly I am being unfair to you, because I recognized through my time playing, most of the loot spawn (95% -ish), anywhere near a reasonable distance from a coastal spawn area, have been stripped. Which includes going as far inland as say Starry / Novi Sober (about a 35-45 minute jog). Likewise spawning in SW Electro is a death sentence more often than not.

I think complaints are how you look at them, I could have stated plainly and redundantly that respawning loot is needed. My point is simply to remind the developers that another player finds the current gameplay awkwardly difficult, and would rather have glitches and unfinished material than to simply not have the opportunity to compete at all. I think loot respawning isn't the necessarily answer, animal spawns so you could hunt for food, or foraging perhaps. They make sense more than magic loot spawns. But magic spawns are appealing as well, there is a level of suspension of disbelief .. and if so I would think a minimum of every 20 minutes to spawn 1 accessible food item (or inaccessible and opening device) per kilometer (or township) appropiate. Those are the easy routes. You coud also create no kill zones .. like churches in hihglander where thre are barter znes and have a "barter town" economy. Then there are wacky things you could do like zombie drops, or other monsters. Or have a zombie hoard of a couple hundred sweep the landscape with a zombie boss that players have to work togther to defeat. At leats you would have an antagonist to give the players a reason to band together for. Or some dungeon / mountain cave locale where "it all started" Drop a comet from the sky, open a dark hole or magic gateway .. all the same to me. But starving for no reason other than I wasn't first online is pretty stinky.

After playing about 125 hours between normal and hard servers I found loot to be fairly easy to obtain, at least all the essentials like food and clothing. Wanting to see the patches and so forth prior to their release I decided to play on the experimental servers. Now 20 hours later I see the difference in playing the game without using (unintentional?) work arounds (server hopping in particular) to the mechanics Now I understand the dog eat dog mentality, limited resources = gameplay. But the gameplay is severely imbalanced in favor of those fortunate to be on right after a server reset. This does 2 things First, it forces players to consider the loop hole of server hopping as the only viable competitive choice. Second, it is 4th wall breaking, instead of playing vs the game within the design it becomes a "log in to see if lot is up yet game". Intentional or not this is very discouraging, because I only have certain hours of the day to play and I would like to enjoy the mechanics when I have the time to play during peak hours not simply when "mana falls from the sky". Which in reality may not actually happen when I have time to play. I know you guys are working on loot respawning, as it has been mentioned before. But let me re affirm the fact that it makes your game pretty self defeating, in particular, on your experimental servers.

I have seen 1 hacker. Met him on the Titanic, he tried communicating with me with VC, sounded like a young boy maybe 12-14. I was roleplaying a psychopath, and immediately started wailing on him with my crowbar I found on the ship, and he said like wait, stop, there's something we need to talk about. Then I watch his run thorough the deck walls and then over the side of the ship and I continue pursuit as best as I can. He loses me and then returns this time my crowbar has no effect at all after half a dozen close range swings and he is knocking me around with a fire extinguisher. So try hide on some ledge and fall to my death. It was a really odd encounter. I have also been spawn killed in under 5-7 seconds by fully geared players at an airfield. I log in and my character makes some weird pain noise while hiding in a shed behind closed doors and withing 5-7 seconds someone shows up at the shed, opens the doors, and I am dead.
