Ultimoses

I wouldn't necessarily say that they increased the numbers of the zombies to be honest. I think they just changed the "infected distribution". As an example of what I mean: Where there were 10 zombies in Msta before the update, and 30 in Elektro, there are now 4 z's in Msta and 36 in Elektro. They lowered the number of infected in low interest areas (villages for the most part) and added those to high interest areas (big cities, military bases). At least that's my theory based on this quote from the latest status report: "Redistribution of existing infected spawns to high population areas."

The zombies are totally fine, the only thing that got teared apart by this update is the serverside performance. As soon as they improve it, the zombies will be the same as the ones in Stable right now. Nothing to worry about.

I think you just have to search for him at rural areas. I once found one at the gas station between Dolina and Krasnostav.

Players will think twice before attacking other players when they have a Blaze with 5 shots or a Sporter without magazine instead of their normal AUG, M4, AK with 200 cartridges in 4 ammo boxes.

Welcome to the game! DayZ gets a Stable Branch Update once every month. The Stable Branch is the one you played on. But there's also an experimental branch, on which you can assign by enabling it on Steam. On that branch, you can experience the latest developments, but prepare yourself for many bugs and glitches ;) Hunting and skinning animals is already in, but you will need a gun to kill those, because the new animal A.I. made them really attentive and they are very easy to startle. Statistics will be available later in the development, it's on the official roadmap for 2015 for the 2nd quarter of the year. Here's the roadmap: http://www.dayztv.com/standalone/dayz-2015-roadmap/ Good luck in Chernarus!

Welcome to the game! The issue you're describing is well known and has been around for some time, but the Devs are working on it. I recommend you to read through the forums, you will find much information about all the bugs that are currently in the game. Don't let the bugs kill your fun!

PM 73 RAK surprisingly takes so called PM 73 RAK mags :P As far as i know, they spawn at the same location as the gun itself. Incredibly rare though.

They should change the animation or polish it or something, when they have time for it, and increase its range.

That's where tactical encircling of the prey comes in :D Or try luring it into a corner of a wall or something.

I drove a truck now several time for dozens of cilometres and didn't get to see only one glitch. The only thing annoying is the steering.

More Z's is a must. Just search for "huge zombie horde dayz" on youtube and your mind gets blown by epicness.

When you eat human meat, you have a chance to get brain disease and cry and laugh uncontrollably. So far so good. But theres a bug momentarily, where the game does "attach" this crying/laughing debuff to some random person on the server, and not to the player actually eating the meat. So, I think it is your own character, and as far as I know, you can't get rid of it, so if it bothers you... suicide time!

Theres no reason not to do it. The experimental is likely to be empty over the christmas break, and the old version would be a bonus. I would totally download it!

Some players said that. The devs never gave a reason to raise the expectations as high as saying vehicles would end all the running once and for all.

They didn't say that explicit, I just figured. They said, that they wanted a mid-december stable update, and the only way to make that happen would be to update experimental on mon- or tuesday, hope that it goes well and update stable on wednesday. And Peter brought in the idea with the old early access release version on experimental, but as far as I know that's only loud thinking and no fixed plan :( (Sorry for irritating) But I totally agree with you, I would play both, too :D

I think the initial plan was to get .52 on stable next wednesday (no matter how small it is) and then load the old early access release version of SA in the empty experimental. I hope they do it :D

Netting is incredible hard to find, I don't think it's worth the effort. I searched Berezhki now for countless times, probably about 150-200 boats, no netting.

To keep it simple, you're asking what endgame content DayZ should have. There's this one thing that would keep me playing a long time, and it's called basebuilding. And I don't mean nailing some boards onto windows, but placing walls etc. entirely free and building a home with your clan, a headquarter. And this should, according to the 2015 roadmap, be implemented late '15.

On stable - yes, too easy. On experimental - though I haven't played it yet, I heard much about it - no, difficult enough to get food, maybe even too hard.

Would be so awesome if they brought sounds like this into the game :D

Link broken?

There's so much wrong in these questions... When you define "good loot" as guns and ammo ONLY... Second: Immersion. This game is not supposed to be easy. You should not be able to get guns and ammo in no time. The sentence "I cant even find ammo atm been searching for some hours lol" makes me happy as f**k, because that's the way it should be.

Not everywhere. OT: I think those guns would totally ruin the game. Imagine everyone running around with a gun, even if it's fake, that destroys immersion. Additionaly, what do you think how many people own a BB rifle in a post-soviet state like Chernarus? A high spawnrate wouldn't be legitimate. Also, if you want a rifle which looks dangerous but does nothing: Sporter .22, there you go ;)

I like those guys who think every sound of drinking or eating they hear means that there's a player nearby *soundbugs* :D
