Not sure if this was suggested but how about when you sellect the ground item, a square in your inventory lights up, indicating where to put the item?

I never understood why would everyone spawn on shores either. Why can't there be like 100 preset spawn positions that spawn the player in lets say a 500m radius from the point, so people that know them couldn't spawn kill everytime? And were everyone fishing when the apocalypse hit? Why can't you spawn near a lone house somewhere in the forest? or a small village?

Agree with OP with more maps. There are quite some nice Eastern European maps made that are similiar in size and have big cities and vilages to boot. Taviana comes into mind. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15085 For the people that favor pvp or wanna survive in the big city there's Emita City for that. A massive city island, twice the size of Zargabad! http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15482 If you want something more exotic could try Isola di Capraia, it's rather big, lots of space, some towns, pretty much every building is enterable, but it might be too small for 50+ players. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12961 Island Panthera is great aswell, the terrain is hard, theres massive forrests, mountains, plains, rivers and what not. Easy to get lost in ;) http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7467 Hopefully some of the amazing community maps will be added to the mod, Cherno is known to all very well from campaign and mp and it's just so tuned for gameplay with no bigger distances and no larger forests, cover everywhere and so on.

It's opposite for me. Found more food and drinks than I could carry and absolutely not a single weapon anywhere, died like about 10 times now and all I find is ammo and endless supply of food.

Game takes too long now, communication is out, pvp still at large, night is retarded, add softcore and hardcore modes. Here's your 20 mister can't count more than 20.

It doesn't drive anyone besides new players away. PvP still is at large, players that had gear before patch just walk past through town killing zombies and kill everyone who even have a pistol. Just came back from dying in elektro, passed a group of players like 2 times with a flashlight, they didn't kill me because they knew I had nothing on me. When I found a winchester with no ammo, I got killed by the same bunch instantly, they didn't even ask me to give it up or anything, shot straight in the face. There goes your anti bandit thing.

That's it I'm done with the mod, aswell as many people and many of my ingame buddies. This thing turned from a very realistic and enjoyable experience to a full time job experience. If you want to sneak, you have to spend like 30 mins at the bare minimum in each town crawling and waiting for each zombie to walk past you 100 m away and yet you're not even sure if they will spot you. I don't have the time nor the patience to play splinter cell with the zombies and egzamine their patrol zones. Crouching is out of options completely as zombies 200m away will decide they want to eat you while zombies 20m away will just do their own thing. Pre patch was perfect, if you werent carefull you'll get eaten by zombies immidietly. There were no bandits, since the last patch I've been killed only 3 times, Compared to how I was being killed on my every life when bandit system was in. The rest times I died because I was careless or did some retarded things. The only way to loot towns now is just to run in like a retard, collect all the zombies on your ass and leave them in some enterable building or shed and then collect all the loot and get out like a nuke is going to explode behind you, sneaking is completely out the window now. Zombies also seem to have a 5m attack range, cant even hide in buildings from them when you get hit from the other end of the room by them... Also night is completely unplayable, seriously who thought having pitch black night would be good? I wonder if any of the people supporting a pitch black night have ever seen one or been to one besides looking at it through a computer screen or through the window? Human eyes adapt to any lightning conditions, even when theres no light at all, after a while you will get used and start to see rather well. Furthermore surviving with any gear is impossibly now, as soon as people spot you have a pistol in your hand, a gun on your back or a backpakc that's not the starters one, you're gonna get shot. Noone wants to risk anything now and noone hesitates to shoot. And to end it, communication is completely out the window, half the time direct chat doesn't even work, either other players or you can't see their messages. Global chat was the only interesting and fun thing that kept it all enjoyable, as many jokes and lols and many inteligent and not so inteligent discussions passed through it and everyone had a good laugh, now everything is dead and quiet and theres just nothing interesting happening besides the 50 zombies behind you. If it was removed due to bandits finding players based on their descriptions, then it's your own problem for telling everyone where you are going or will be and even when you tell where you are or going, 90% of time noone bothered to come and kill me. Now it's a ghost town. The best compromise would be to present hardcore and softcore server settings. Softcore being pre patch or spawning with pre patch gear and hardcore the way it is now. TL;DR Game takes too long now, communication is out, pvp still at large, night is retarded, add softcore and hardcore modes.
