Yeah, then bring up the Honolulu servers too. Oh, that's right, my choices are LA or AUS/NZ. Good stuff though, rubberbanded out a window to death a few times but, meh, what can you do.

I got an option to look for apples at one tree, the option to look for berries at a bush and also an option to chop firewood at a tree, it actually fells the tree when you do it. Just need to figure out how to start a camp fire now.. I am left wondering if the zed ever catches the pig?? Shortly after I saw this I found an axe and went back looking but could find neither. I have yet to find a P38 mag myself. I bet that pile of hats came out of someone's backpack. I am sure they filled it up like that just to piss off some bandits.

Well, well looky here an AK magazine. I found it at a building site, the one SE of Polana called Factory. It was in a spot on the ground level that usually spawns ammo or mags.

I saw a Zed chasing a pig up in Dubrovka. Wow.

I just saw a zombie chasing a pig. I didn't screen shot it because I thought, till I got closer it was a player because of how it was moving. Plus I was picking my jaw up that a zed would agro on a pig and completely ignore me.

Didn't find an AKM but I did find some new ammo and a new town. Arrows for composite bow, didn't find the bow. The new town up north, kosed by some turd while exploring it. I had no weapon in hand, the bastard just didn't like how I "sounded". Dumbasses. A new industrial building.

That says more about you than you might think. You must have missed the whole "don't want to see rape and removal of limbs" things.

I have seen it suggested that what we can do now as far as torture just isn't enough for some people. They want to be able to cut off fingers and actually commit rape, which I would NOT EVER like to see in game. What we do now is pretty tame compared to that. Someone using a hacksaw on a live dog or chasing and beating a dog to death with a bat is what you will see, with fire coming you may even see people setting dogs on fire just for fun. Count me out of that but...... You want to see a rise in KoS? Count me in as KoSing anyone I see chasing a dog with a bat or doing any of the above.

So I am at my local supermarket today and figure I should really get a can of peaches for my "Go Bag". Look what I found.. That's right, a POP TOP. No need for a can opener. I also noticed that most canned meats come with pop tops, except for tuna. I may be playing this game way to much..

Amazing. I post a picture of canned fruit and the eurotrash all come out and make this about how "superior" they are because their cans all have pop tops. What the fuck? Sorry, I eat fucking FRESH FOOD, not shit from a CAN. Tell me about superior you fucking noobs. Thanks for letting me know who you shits are, straight to ignore with flamers and trollers like that.

Oh, really? Sorry I don't eat stuff from a can as mush as your so called superior Eurotrash must do. When you guys can quit having a war amongst yourselves every 20 years or so that needs us to come bail you out come talk to me about superior. Dumbass.

Oh, going straight for the troll, welcome to ignore

-Ran right through a window at factory. Died -fell from the cat walk in a small warehouse as I was spray painting my newly acquired M4. Died -Toon breaks legs, have no sticks, dump gear and suicide hoping I can get back to that location before server restart. Spawn a long ass way off but get back in time Sync issue, seems I cannot equip any of the gear, attacked by invisible zombie, die again. New toon gets there and sees toon that could not equip indeed has equipped most of the good stuff like the ruck and the M4. Can't loot body. DAMMIT.

Yeah, don't get greedy, just gtfo as quickly as feet will get it done. Take a knee and have a listen and a look round too.

The only reason I disagree with this is as I have stated before. Some sick bastards will use that as an opportunity to do heinous things to virtual animals and post it on YouTube. That could bring some serious negative blow back. So far the game is under the radar, better to keep it that way rather get the rep that some other games already have.I like the idea of your animal being it's own being. Gives them a personality. Some of my best dogs were disobedient as all hell. still loved me and still, did pretty much what I told them to do, but sometimes, revenge poop and revenge pee are best served cold. Miss that feisty little harbor dog. Sigh...

TBH I don't even like killing the wolves in Rust. The sound effect gets me...

Ok here's my thing, a little over six months ago I lost my best dog in RL. I was at work and she busted out of the house, was hit by a car and died 7 hours later from bruised lungs. Tough little dog, she clung to life as long as she could in the vet hospital. She was on pain killers and in an O2 cabinet to help her breathing. It was not enough. Broke my heart, I wasn't this miserable when my father passed and I am still having grief issues with it. My wife and I cannot have children so she was like a daughter, she was also the first dog we had together. 15000+ years of human/dog coevolution is not lost on me, dogs were the first of the domesticated animals. It has even been said by some anthropologists that without dogs it is unlikely that humans could have had civilization. Dogs were equal partners in hunter/gatherer bands and are why some of these bands survived and did not go extinct. That all said, I would go absolutely berserk if I saw anyone being cruel or torturing virtual animals in game. I like the idea that dogs cannot attack players and I would like that to see that as reciprocal, meaning players cannot attack dogs either. Definitely dogs would also HAVE TO BE OFF LIMITS as a food item too. I would also like dogs to be unable to attack other dogs to prevent players from participating in dog fights. I don't care really what players do to each other, not one little bit, but I can see how some of these douchebags will do anything they think is amusing. Abusing dogs, even virtual ones, is not remotely amusing, it is sick. Imagine that on YouTube, I can see some sick turd posting vids of abusing dogs in DayZ on YouTube. I cannot emphasis enough how stupid and daft and ignorant that would be. Flame and troll me all you want, I won't respond to it and will just put you on my ignore list.

You should just leave the gear someplace and keep an overwatch on it. I hate to say it but you are gonna get punked by some douchebag server hoppers looking to "ruin your day" because that makes their little wee wees hard.

I hope you shot the bastard.

Some things I can't control, if I had my druthers the server would restart once a day and run on a 24 hour Hawaii Standard Time cycle. But it is on a four hour cycle that I can't change, all I can do is make adjustments to the time, which I am planning to do.

breaking my legs for no particular reason in a barn and ruining 2 coupled 30 rnd mags that I had in my pants. That was BS. Just walking around and broke my legs. Crap, had to use my last morphine autoinjector too since I could not get those stupid sticks and bandage to craft a friggin splint. That is just the most recent of MANY though.

Can't really go by a map since SA is a bit of it's own animal. That said, yes about the spawns, but it is hard to find, some days it's everywhere. Sticks are a bit easier, but so, as has been mentioned, they can be hard, especially for the solo player to find.

You would then also have to add the toon saying "shit", "goddamit" and "WHERETHEFUCKISIT".

LOL, some nice, basic anthropology there! However, we cannot read faces in this game anyway since they are toon faces. It is one thing to read an actual human face, even your dog can do it, but in game that just is not possble. We cannot read faces in game since there are no "tells", no twitches or sweat, no nothing which we normally go by. Seeing a mask generally will make me very wary, a mask and no pants will definitely get you shot by me if I see it. At best we have voice and inflection, if someone will even bother to speak to you before shooting you in the back of the head. Personally, I never wear a mask, except for the surgical one occasionally and if I am not in an area with a zed threat I will not wear a helmet and go with a ball cap or boonie hat instead.

Heads up for Aloha is For Tourists users!!! On the 13th of May 2014 we will begin starting the server for night operations. For the first few days I will be conducting observation of the lunar cycle to try and determine when the optimal time is for night time play. Expect frequent and unplanned restarts during this period. I expect the tests to be complete on or about the 1st of June. Possibly earlier, it all depends on the lunar cycle. "Mahalo" to all you for playing on "Aloha is for Tourists" Hardcore server on a regular basis.
