    Where have you found larger backpacks?

    I have found a hunters ruck, once, at wrecked trucks but that was in a tent city. I have found Hunters rucks in the large warehouse but that's, maybe, three times in over 800 hours of play. The mountain rucks I have found at building sites with the large cranes, but I haven't seen one in any of those, lately.

    What's your favorite weapon?

    I like the Makarov pistol, even if it does take 2-3 rnds to take down a zed. Just wish it didn't take up the same amount space as all the other pistols. This pistol should be able to fit in the military boots in lieu of the combat knife...

    What intimades you the most

    I've had too many bad encounters, I avoid everyone as much as possible.

    Do we want vehicles?

    I don't care either way at this point.

    A theory on random sounds

    So how about you take a valium and calm down. Just because someone does not agree with you or your way of thinking about something does not make you or those 700 votes right either. You and your side are not exactly sure that it is a bug either.
  6. Then chop the tree down for firewood. Get your pack back.

    AK 101 mags sure are uncommon...

    Try looking in the back of UAZ jeeps, I find them there more often than anywhere else.

    A theory on random sounds

    It does happen on low pop servers, but, it seems to happen with much more frequency on high pop servers. In fact on a 100 pop server the more people on the more often the sounds happen, not just zed sounds either. We get the eating sound, the pop opening sound, the bird crys (I thought originally they were zed noises but now I think they are meant to be seagulls, albatrosses and crows/ravens). It seems to be more related to the syncing of the desynced than anything else. I have no issue with this so called sound bug, as people we think we hear stuff all the time anyway so I figure it's something like that and helps me keep my head on a swival. Adds to the experience of being alone in a hostile world.
  9. Then sir, all I can do is refer you to this forum. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/6794-i-give-up-this-game-is-bull-i-want-my-money-back/
  10. To add on to my previous you can also make your own quests. -Today I shall conduct "Quest for Can Opener" -I have a Makarov but no magazine, I shall go hunt for one. -I have not made an improvised back pack from boar skin, I shall do that today, while I am at it I will cook my pork chops and bacon. -I shall do all this while circumnavigating the map with out getting too hungry, being dehydrated, checking all major cities along the way and not getting killed by some schmuck with an axe on the whole trip.
  11. That, pretty much, is life anyway, if you think about it.
  12. Right now there is a point. The point, at least right now, is to find errors and glitches and exploits and then to report those on the bug tracker. The game is in the process of being developed so that is what we are here to do, assist in that development not run around being murderers or bandits or sadistic cretins like maybe 99% of people do here. Like it or not this is what you signed on for, so be part of the 1%, go forth, be a good Starship Trooper and Do Your Part. If that isn't your thing, well ok, then you are right.

    Bleeding to death... Rags anyone?

    Try using a Farmers Hoe until axes and picks are fixed in .48. Worked for me in .47 on experimental. You're still gonna bleed though, almost everytime they attack you.

    Have to relog every 10 minutes because...

    Try using a farmers hoe instead of any kind of axe. When I was using any axe in exp I had the same issue. Started using the Farmers Hoe and it went away. With the new exp build it is still there with axes but you can beat it by taking a few steps.
  15. Meh, I figure if I have made the full map and it's in my ingame inventory then using a map on my ipad is the same thing. My attention is away from the "environment" but I can still use my peripheral vision to moniter events around me. The map on the whole screen makes me crazy. As far as suicide goes I've done that twice, only then I had broken legss and no hope of fixing them (back before we could make/scavenge for sticks) dumped all my gear and dragged my self off a high place.
  16. I start by looking for something sharp to open cans with and for cargo pants. Then a hoodie since the riders jacket, that I love the look of, is such a weak sister. After that a hat or MC helmet. My fav hat lately is the Pilotka. I will usually hydrate first in case all I are the dried foods, rice, powdered milk or cereal. This house http://dayz.gamepedia.com/File:Residential_big_yellow.png is usually good for food, there are a few that are in out of the way places and are unlooted quite often. Then I try to find a small ruck or make a courior bag then improvised back pack. I have, on occasion, found a hunters ruck in the large warehouses, but not very often. I then find some chow and head for a junk yard. I have found all kinds of useful stuff in junkyards, especially the one at Chenaya Polana. Once I feel that I am armed enough I head west, usually at night and along a northerly route to get end game geared.

    This is just unplayable now

    When you fresh spawn like that DO NOT hit anything except escape and exit. If you move then that is the character that gets save to the database, stay away from fragnet servers, they are notorious for this. Every single time I hit a fragnet server I get the character could not be loaded message, I log out and go back to one of my standbys and I am good to go.

    Experimental Expectations?

    Every once in awhile there is a message in red at the bottom left of the screen that advises you are on experimental and that you should report bugs when you encounter them.

    Magazines are too hard to find

    try looking in the UAZ Jeeps, I have been finding 30 rnd mags for the Sporter, the AKM and AK101 there quite often.

    frustrated with death

    Happens to me too, I was changing pants yesterday, I guess the game god was displeased since I got the black DayZ screen of death. C'est la viv en DayZ...

    [Question] Downed Helo's are UH-?

    Will the wrecked HMMWV's ever spawn loot?

    Name for the virus in DayZ SA

    I would like to suggest the virus be known as "The Green Mountain Virus" .
  23. I have noticed that in experimental lately your body is hidden by zeds. I made it back to the body before me and when the zed left it it went poof. If old me dies from a fall or some other mis-adventure the body will usually persist a bit longer. I voted no, because to me that is too much like when zeds insta-spawn where you killed them. What's the point of killing them if they just come right frigging back?

    does anyone really fish?

    I've tried it, but I am just too freaking paranoid to fish. Makes me feel vulnerable.
