(Drum) mags are just big ammo boxes for me these days. In one single 3-hour session yesterday I went from wielding a Mosin with 26 rounds to a geared AKM with 7 30 round mags and 4 drum mags, and that is when space ran out because I found more still. Then I thought to myself, no sane person would ever need this many magazines and just emptied out all the ammo. It's even more space-efficient to carry your ammo like this. 40 rounds for the same space as a 30 round mag, and 80 rounds for every 75 round drum mag.

I like the idea of using bullets as currency. Different types of ammo, would be like different denominations of coins, and scarcity of the ammo would determine its value as currency. I remember in one of my first days I traded a guy three cans of peaches for a pile of .357 rounds, and then later on traded some 5.56 ammo for a fire axe.

They really are nasty buggers now. I got killed in Novy Sobor today by zombies clipping through the police station door and/or hitting me through walls over impossible distances. My trusty fire axe was mostly useless. I managed to kill a few, but I took hits as I went, and the respawn system meant they all respawned close enough to keep an endless cycle of zombie going. In the end the blood loss and shock were too much to fix, I got KO'd and killed like a sucker. If some guy passes through Novy on that server, he's gonna find a treasure trove... geared AKM, 3 drum mags, MP5 (no clips though), sawn-off, and enough ammo to overthrow a small country. And I lost my redpunk boots :'(

The three heli sites I've found have all been in the fields directly south of the NWAF, between the airfield and the small military base to the south.

But Imagine the sight of a bunch of fatties chasing each other with shovels and pitchforks!

You can steal people's blood and kill them by forcefeeding them rotten bananas. That's all I ever needed to know.

We'll get right on it, chief!

I found mine in a barn :P

Sometimes I stay there or thereabouts for days, sometimes I don't visit for days.

Well I've been playing for about a month now, and as far as I can tell I've encountered no hackers so far. I usually play with at least 10 other players on the server, usually around 25-35 ish. Am I a statistical anomaly now?

They should add the world's tiniest violin to the loot spawns. Then I would find you and play it for you.

Who the hell cares, it's the fucking apocalypse. Most people wouldn't survive long enough to get shot by a bandit. I like that I don't know if people can be trusted. I've had guys open fire on me that later helped me along, and I've had guys helping me then and shoot me in the head the second I found something they needed. Welcome to Chernarus, leave your naivety at the gates.

Well creeks, ponds, wells and trees/bushes are always in the same place so have nothing to do with the loot system. And if all else fails, collect rain.

All I want is the ability to pistol whip some bitches. And blocking would be nice too.

Spawnkilling, man... it's a pretty shitty thing to do under any circumstances, but yesterday I was killed before I even got past the 'Please wait...' screen. Just 'You are dead." after that. Then on my new character, while looting a piano house a player spawned right in front of me. I said hello but he didn't move for a good 45 seconds. I could have done so much nasty shit in that time you wouldn't believe. When I told him how long he'd stood there he was very thankful that I didn't kill him. So, this brings me to a frustrating issue: Being spawnkilled during the load phase, when there is literally nothing you can do except stand there and take it. Would it be possible to create some kind of protection? I don't mind getting killed 10 seconds into the game if I have at least a chance to fight or run away. But getting killed before you're even able to play just plain sucks, especially if you've invested a lot of time and effort in building up your character.

And deer stands.

In my defense, I wasn't server hopping, just really retarded :P

I'm sure. I heard him breathing and sorting out the ammo he took off me. Mind you I did pick a terrible spot to log (ACT control room) so he probably thought I was about to ghost him, but still. And after the initial rage (I mean I was GEARED) I'm having fun with my new character, but I think I'd feel just as frustrated if this happened to my freshspawn. Not so much about what I lost, but how I lost it.

Bang Bang Wait I'm Friendly!

Not balance between players, balance between realism and fun. Making every action hyper-realistic might sound fun on paper, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. Otherwise you might as well include weapon manuals that you need to find and read before you can use a weapon properly, because no way in hell is it realistic that every character knows how to operate any gun like they've been doing it for years. At most I would say that location of magazines should affect reload time. A magazine kept in your tac vest should be quicker to load than one at the bottom of your bag, but to force people to sit down and rummage through their backpacks every time they need something? No thank you.

Anyone talking about realism better be playing hardcore only... But seriously, what's the big problem here? It's a video game, not a zombie apocalypse simulator. I find balance more important than realism.

You can eat babies in D&D?

They seem fairly abundant in miltary tents/barracks. Every time I do a run there I find at least one or two.
