You've obviously never played goat simulator. DayZ is a mod from a military simulator. What did you really expect from DayZ SA? It just took a step closer to what the devs have been saying it's supposed to be for a while now. You have to be exaggerating on how long it took you to find one can of sardines. I'm not one of the people on these forums that's just going to yell "Get gud n00b" but loot and food isn't too hard to attain. I haven't picked a single apple tree since this patch and I've played every day since it has come out. You just have to re-think your loot runs and sneak around/run away from zombies. Hint: Check outhouses, deer stands, and guard towers

I've KoS'd in this patch. I was at the NEAF with a SKS and 3 rounds. Didn't really have anything else but a canteen. A guy ran up to the same area of the cars that I was looting and must not have seen me. Stood there with his back to me while checking out a jeep. He had a nice large mountain backpack that I was hoping had food in it since my character was hungry. So I shot him in the back of the head and took his stuff. He DID have quite a bit of food and more rounds for my SKS. Now if I would have had a full 10 rounds I most likely would have held him up. Was it KoS? Sure. Was it surviving in a survival game? Definite yes. Sometimes KoS is about survival and not for the lulz.

Agreed. Cleared out the entire military base outside of Pavlovo with only eight 5.45 rounds. The silenced AK74u is a godsend.

Yes it exists, but good luck finding any lying around even before the zombie apocalypse.

I used GFE once with DayZ and it actually made it worse. I had to go back in and reset it to what it originally had been before I was getting decent graphics and frame rate again.

They are supposed to stay persistent without weekly wipes now. Even so this is alpha and we have had some tent persistence issues lately. I already logged out for the night holding every piece of value from camp I could hold. Just in case.

I have personally tested this. A pristine ballistic helmet will NOT stand up to a point blank .357 Magnum round to the head. Also tested this with the 1911. Same result.

A few restarts. Backpacks survived them as well.

Persistence is working I hope server admins wouldn't be able to wipe camps with a restart. Abusive admins would be able to do too much damage with that.

The police car by Black Lake. It has been overflowing with loot lately :)

I'm not saying the loot is perfect at the moment, but you're throwing a tantrum here. This is what I've managed to gather in the past two days: Thanks to persistence being mandatory I don't have to worry about my second backpack getting wiped!

It's like a sociological experiment of the DayZ player base. The inability to adapt seems higher than I would have originally thought.

There's a certain type of non-enterable building that spawns military and heli loot. One of the buildings I'm talking about is by the cranes in Svet.

I haven't seen a banana since playing the newest update. I am declaring them gone until someone posts a pic. Sounds a little ridiculous, no?

Following your link gave me a good laugh. Check out the first game that showed up! You'll be finding a lot more players inland than before OP.

I wish there was an option to cook meat on hot coals. Right after the fire stops the coals are still red hot. Steaks can be cooked directly on top of coals in real life. It's actually a really cool way to make flank steak if you've never tried it. Cooking mechanics are still in their early stages I'm sure. It'll be interesting to see what the devs come up with in the future.

But they do! 185.16.86.51:2502 It's an EU server so your ping won't be great, but it's a good place to gather supplies for the party. It's part of the same hive too so everything from there carries over to the event server. While the event will most likely be 3PP you don't have to worry about people abusing 3PP so using your preferred 1PP shouldn't hinder you on that night.

Stab top of can with dull knife, rotate can 90 degrees, stab top of can with dull knife again, pry up the four corners, receive beans. Couldn't help myself ;)

I haven't heard anything about the stamina being implemented so I couldn't say, but drowning has been around for at least a few patches now. Even if stamina is thrown in I doubt the devs would set it so high that you can't swim to the neat new island they just added. Especially without boats yet. Doesn't matter, I voted for Black Lake anyway ;)

This would be worse for players than better for immersion. I have emergency vehicles making noise going down my street that can be heard through my mic, I talk to my fiance while I play sometimes, I take work phone calls, I yell at my cats for climbing up the god damn curtains, etc... Real life happens while I play and it makes noise.

With only a couple servers to hop between it'd be pretty hard to find enough landmines. Even in the unlikely event that it does happen just have a laugh about it and run on back!

If I could have true persistence I'd be so happy. Other than the 500+ on a server and the stats I agree with the original points made. The map just isn't big enough to make 500+ enjoyable, and to me DayZ should never have stats.

That was me. I heard a gunshot and started to say "Mosin shots" but I only managed to read "You're Dead" on a black screen. I died trying to get more screen shots. Not the worst way to end that night though!

Meant no offense and thank you for being lookout. All I meant was if you had comms with us in the party we may have had a better defense from the partygoers. Just an idea to strengthen us next time. You did a fantastic job and were a huge part in why the party went on for as long as it did. Again, I meant nothing negative by it :)

I would have joined that TS in a heartbeat. Lesson learned for next time :) Maybe we could do something like a "gun permit" to the party. People from the forums could send a PM to you or others in charge of the party. Known forum members will be allowed to carry weapons, and others will be strip searched by GK!
