Debatable, it's easy enough to hide yourself in a bush those extra slots could come in handy, for a hunter that's another 5 sets of rounds or another 5 deer steaks. It's only better if you need to be camoed. The backpacks shouldn't be a case of it looks like this and has this many slots anyway some should have better storage for different things. An assault vest is no place for a can of beans for example.

I think we should get one of these for sure it's annoying needing so many items that break extremely quickly for tasks that are far from heavy duty. A swiss army knife with scissors could be used to cut rags better which would be awesome, maybe the standard hand ripped rags shouldn't be as good as ones made with a knife. You get ones with magnifying glasses too so that would be another way we can start a fire without magical wind blowing it out. They could even be used as a fishing hook, very awesome item to have. Course some would moan that it's "overpowered" but so what, it's a real thing it's not like it's some made up wonder tool it just simplifies tasks that the game makes harder than real life. I've never seen a hardware store that doesn't have like 20 of them, it's fair that there'd be a good few in Chernaus.

Doesn't it do that already? Sometimes it doesn't sometimes it does, for me at least. Usually when I'm in the corner where two walls meet. Seems like it's there but not quite set up yet. So long as it's pretty smooth and isn't popping in and out of zoomed in or out mode giving me headaches I wouldn't mind it.

Minus the longhorn and them shooting I've had this too I had an M4 and like 4 zombies were chasing a dude who had a knife or something, probably a machete so I shot the zombies. Then he runs at me with the machete after I wave at him, like I can't just mow him down with little to no effort... I wonder if people in this game will ever appreciate the things you do for them.

Is it awkward to set up? I know there will be tutorials not asking how just is it simple or something you can do in a few minutes and always know how? I'm more of a console gamer DayZ is the only PC game I play right now. It would be cool if we could use a PS4 controller for it the touchpad could have many functions, perhaps inventory checking though it would take some getting used too. That or the emotes, swipe two fingers up for holding your hands up, tap then drag a finger up for middle finger. Hopefully they utilize that one day...most importantly the responsiveness. Too many times have I been hurt or killed by people/zombies because I pressed 1 to take an axe or gun out and it only started happening 10 seconds later...

No but the ones easiest to get to will be and not everyone is going to know where all 100 of them are some are going to be way more noticable a random one at the top of the map isn't going to be visited as much as one on the way to a town. Doesn't really matter how rare the items are you don't know they're not there until you go and check and you'll have been one of many, especially if you're going round them all to look for the rare stuff is someone knows where they all are is and is going to check them all one douche need only wait until they get to theirs. If any thing good or rare spawns there at all people will be desperate for it, especially since it's safe compared to barracks etc.

Well they're wrong, more people have the game than there are people on the forum. There are only like 1-2 thousand people active on this forum, compared to the amount of people that have the game that is barely statistically relevant. No it's just not the almost only play style. The game is supposed to be a survival game not murder unarmed people because you happened to see them, would you do that in real life? The game aims to be as authentic as possible but the people who play it? Not really they don't act like they would in a zombie apocalypse they just want to go pew pew pew at everything that moves in the most casual gamer mindset ever whilst claiming to be the hardcore players. Yeah we have the choice but what good does it do when practically nobody doesn't treat it like GTA? Though in hindsight at least in future games these people who think DayZ is the ultimate game will probably stay with it and pollute the genuine gamer community less.

Yeah because nothing good spawns in them, that would change if they spawned a hunters set many people would want it and thus many people would want to hog the gear. And soon there will probably be about that many players with 64 bit servers, the easy to find ones near spawns will be targeted. It's better they be useless in terms of loot then people are only going to go near them for hunting, you could set up shop there maybe you could board it up so nobody can climb in only weakness being grenades. Deer spawns is all we need. Food should be priority over gear getting geared up is too easy as it is the only good item that's somewhat hard to find is a high capacity vest.

The forum has nothing to do with the game community. And it's not a playstyle it's just being part of the CoD style kill everyone mentality which isn't what the game is supposed to be about, you're telling me the game is better being just so plain as killing everyone? We have all these things other games don't but what sets DayZ apart? Nothing. Because people still play it like it's an FPS. Why should we tolerate people ruining the experience for newcomers? The community is the only thing that could set this apart from an FPS experience being on an ARMA engine doesn't make it any different if everyone still plays it like a shitty CoD or Battlefield game. The only difference is people brag about it being "hardcore" which, lol.

For berries and especially worms it would be great if we could have some glass jars to put them in. Obviously not final but currently worms take up a ridiculous amount of space and just leaving them to roam around your backpack is equally ridiculous so we need a container for them. Would be good for berries too since they also take up a strange amount of space and would probably get squashed by your other items. Perhaps you could put matches in them too for a waterproof container although if you can put like 1000 matches in one it would be a bit overpowered as an item, maybe it could be really rare considering like every window is smashed maybe Chernaus hates glass. Perhaps we could make jams out of berries when/if we can make bread in future.

Why did they get off and leave their guns? Unless Chernaus was populated by brain damaged hunters that wouldn't happen, certainly not enough to warrant some sort of spawn in every deer stand much less good loot. For hunting gear they should just add some kind of hunters cabin building, the kind of store you'd go to for clothing, fishing rods etc and that gives us another spot for fish hooks which are madly rare. True but current loot spawns aren't the final loot spawns. If there's any good loot in them you can guarantee they'll all be occupied by people camping and waiting for people to come look, it would be better if they were just suitable for hunting rather than being a target zone for douchebags. Being a good place to find animals to eat is good enough, especially when canned food gets more scarce we're going to need it, not hunting gear.

I would prefer nothing spawned there because why should it be there? Who would leave hunting gear or even guns there? If it was outside a house perhaps but a random one on top of a hill...what kind of idiot would leave weapons there for anyone to find. They should just make it have a higher chance to spot some deer around them, it's rather inelegant to just run around the forest until you see one realistically they'd hear you coming and probably be gone or leaving before you noticed them. Or if you walked...well that would just take too long. So a higher deer and possibly other animal spawn rate would do, perhaps as a downside a higher wolf spawn rate too. Gear wise at best, hats maybe. No hunter would leave without their gun, maybe they saw a zombie and just didn't take their hat.

How hard is the game to play with a controller? When it lets you anyway... I find keyboard and mouse just...really boring. A controller makes me feel involved, I can sit forward on my bed when things get intense and focus. Is it awkward or does it work fine? Anyway to be on topic I hope they've only temporarily removed it because I'd love to try it, don't see why they should remove it forever maybe they're tweaking it?

I hope it's basically just another Mosin instead of a long range Sporter... Although it could be funny to use a 30 round mag and rain down all 30 pellets on someone 1000m away. It could be a good hunting weapon, I guess. Instead of using your heavy ammo just shoot deer right in the head(when they're not one shot kill anyway) I'd rather it just be another Mosin skin though just for some variety we have two automatic rifles now two bolt actions would be great.

Yeah I recently met a group of people and one even had a gun, he didn't shoot though. Even though something messed up and I took my gun out instead of waving. It was awesome. However his friend smashed me over the back of the head with an axe... I ran away a bit, took my Mosin out and shot her in the stomach at least but she didn't die on the spot >.> Anyway it's so refreshing when you meet someone that doesn't instantly try to kill you. I like to give them a bandage or something and go on my way. Also don't get why people are so unfriendly towards others without headsets...

Yeah and that's the problem with the people they're too used to games where they're supposed to kill people so they assume that's what DayZ is as someone else said a game to hunt players which is far from the truth. Hopefully they make it hard in the end, to the point where when you see some other survivor it's a case of HOLY SHIT SOMEONE ELSE TEAM UP, TEAM UP OR WE DIE. I doubt it though, can you imagine the uproar if they practically removed guns and ammo from the game in terms or rarity and made it harder? All the hard-to-the-core badazz killaz would never shut up and they'd have to change it since that's most of the players...

They wouldn't necessarily get along but if you thought you were the last man alive and you saw a group of clearly alive people, would you shoot them? Not unless you're an idiot. But that's what people do in this game, and it is a game yes but why can't people play it like it's real? That's the whole point of it, to be as real as possible. Nobody in the DayZ world in reality would sit on top of a hill and snipe people randomly there is no 30 second respawn and you'd piss your pants the second someone shot back.

How about not making the game community look like dicks so that people actually want to buy it? Right now people veer off getting it because it's buggy as hell. But when it's not? Who wants to play with a bunch of a-holes that don't know how to have any fun or at least act like survivors would, build a town and stuff.

Why kill them then? It's not like it benefits you, maybe you don't have much or any morphine and they do but you just shot them so now it's ruined and even if it isn't you probably can't take all their stuff. But if you paired up you have double the storage space, a wingman, a human shield and/or someone who will carry the medical/food supplies while you be a war god with all the ammo and guns ever.

I did since that's what tends to happen, it's not a victory if the other person didn't know you were there or had no hostile intentions, it's douchery. Justifying it by calling it winning is retarded, there is no scoreboard it's not winning it's being a dick. When someone tries to kill you it becomes a battle and when you win that battle, that is a victory. Which is why I warn people of my presence when they're heading to my location, they know they're in my territory and if they have a gun out the battle is on.

Yeah if we eventually can milk cows we could keep some banana in jars and have crunchin crisps with some nice slices of banana in it, mmm. Guilty pleasure of a post apocalyptic land.

Well, if they don't wave A) They're disreputable fools B) They're just about to pull a gun out when you walk past C) They're not a bro D) God help them they just don't know how

If shooting someone who was just calmly exploring the land and didn't notice you is a "victory" then I laugh at that notion. Victory is defeating an opponent, not an unaware sucker someone who knows you're out there and is hunting you as much as you are hunting him(preferably not watching you over a wall) With victory comes honour. With shooting people in the back for little to no reason comes cowardliness. Beating Muhammad Ali in a fist fight is a victory, pressing the button on an electric chair is a mere action same with a trigger you're not winning metal is doing all the hard work for you. I kill players who don't wave back at me, they are scum.

Yeah that's why I thought of jars :P They could be used for water too but not as much as water bottle, to be fair. Perhaps when the inventory system is a bit more complex you could put worms and berries in specific pockets where they'd be safe and thus carry more per pocket slot but I think jars would be better and make more sense, they should be the ultimate small object storage item. Maybe you could put seeds in them too when we can farm.

Or give people nice jams. Nice poisonous jams...ahaha ahahaha HA HA HA HAAAAA! Really though it would simplify a lot of item storage issues such as worms I don't know anyone who fishes who doesn't use a jar of some sort to hold them.
