Okay I see. Thanks for clarifying.

I believe that those servers have minimal restarts, & loot respawning is implemented at the moment. Say for example a server resets only once every 24 hours. After the server resets, by the 23rd hour, there will appear to be more loot than usually because loot just keeps respawning without frequent server resets.

Only insight I can offer is that, if you really want to rent a server, & thinking long term, I would just wait until private shards are available & persistence is working. The only pros to having a server at the moment really is that you can choose server location for ideal ping, & you have the ability to restart the server & kick players. Though you can't abuse that power. The cons: You need to pay for the server, persistence is broken, you can't lock your server or keep it password protected, you can't ban people, & you can't enforce certain rules. With the implementation of private shards, all of that will change. This is why I say it's likely in your best interest to just wait. & really, private shards are right around the corner, I don't think you'll be waiting too long. I believe that you pay monthly for a server (not entirely sure as I don't personally run our clan server). Considering that you mentioned you have a few weeks off, I would suggest just finding a reliable server for the time being. Renting a server is more long term, & will be much more practical with private shards.

It may be a good idea to categorize things. Such as FoodFirearmsExplosivesBladesToolsBackpacksClothingMisc.Etc. Just my input. Very good job nonetheless. :)

My in-game settings or the video itself? Both are at 16:9.

Given that you're playing on stables servers.. Search houses for canned food. Trees & bushes for apples & berries.Find a sharp object to open cans. Preferably a can opener, but most blades will work.Find warmer/heavy clothing in the best condition that you can. Raincoats work wonders.Avoid rain if you do not have weather-resistant clothing. & avoid treading through water.If necessary, build a fire to stay warm & dry. Combine sticks & a rag to make a fireplace. Cut down a tree to get a log to go on top of it. Ignite with matches.You can drink from any water source that gives you the option. All water is clean at the moment.

LRS? I'm sure you mean bipod, no?

Most heli crash sites are in the Western part of the map. Namely the Northwest. Make sure your character isn't suffering from an injured limb. You can even if there's no indicator. Splint will fix this & make sure your character holds his weapon as steady as possible. There's a hold breathe button as Axezeroone said, which by default is on your right-mouse click. There may be a secondary key? I'm not sure. Either way, you can remap it. The bipod was removed from the Mosin, & I'm fairly certain that it's permanent, not temporary.

What type of in-game drugs have you found? :huh: JK, could be desync.

I thought you were saying they should give up? lol

Can't you just like, you know.. ignore them? & weapon cleaning kits do have their place. Guns can become badly damaged if you have one in your inventory when you get shot. Weapon cleaning kit will restore it to "worn". Why you waste time disposing of them in-game is beyond me. More are just going to respawn. No sense in removing everything else that you mentioned from the loot table. We need variety regardless of how useless said items are at the moment. They'll serve a purpose all within good time. We also don't need an abundance of firearms in every nook & cranny. Patience.

I find plenty of high-pop 1PP servers in the US. Never had an issue of not being able to find one.

So you think Twilight is better? ;)

I use to be very cautious to not kill unless absolutely necessary, like yourselves. But having 600+ hours to date, DayZ has changed me. The things I've seen man...

Still a better love story than Twilight.

Ironically enough, =UN= are friendly peacekeepers lol.

This made me giggle.

Oh, okay. Didn't know it was showing experimental. Thanks Ash. ;)

I'm surprised that there's so few deaths at NWAF as well.

Well the idea would be that eating human flesh leaves you prone to contracting the disease Kuru, which is very similar to mad cow disease. It would come with a risk. & you can't assume that all survivors living in a post apocalyptic world are all in their right mind. The apocalypse could turn people mad, & people could view cannibalism religiously or from a spiritual perspective. Any way you look at it, it fits the lore nicely. DayZ is seldom sane anyway.

Timeline? Do you mean the devs roadmap? I'm not sure what you mean. & IIRC, there is no fixed season at the moment. It gets cold enough to the point where we can freeze to death as if it were winter, but the colors of the trees would suggest that it's fall. But then on occasions, it gets warm enough to the point where you can die from overheating. The points that you've made seem to be in regard to the game's current state, where as once it's finished, the gameplay is going to be very focused on survival. It is a zombie survival sandbox after all. It's not that forageable food will exactly "run out", but there certainly won't always be an abundance of it. You can't always guarantee that you'll have a successful harvest neither should you happen to grow crops. You won't be able to find worms & insects during the winter. In regard to worms making you sick in-game -- While you can survive on earthworms & they're a good source of protein, in a real survival situation, it's still ideal that you cook them to avoid illness, which I believe you can do in-game. As I said before, I believe that cannibalism can be warranted as a last resort measure. An act of desperation. I'm not saying that you should be able to survive strictly by cannibalism (although you very much could for some time until you contracted a disease), but it certainly has it's place in DayZ IMO.

We should definitely have the option to eat other survivors. It should be a last resort thing to prevent yourself from starving to death. But it should also pose the risk of contracting Kuru as freethink said. To those who are saying there's already enough food availble: This is only temporary. Once the game is closer to beta, food is going to be much harder to obtain. Therefore, cannibalism is very practical.

Yeah, I always like to go back to it from time to time. & threads such as this one always remind me of it. lol :)
