Go north young man, go north. Berenzino is the new Electro and Balota is for loot farmers. No one like the +1 hour travel to get there when 90% of the spawns are in the NE. It's easier to raid NWA and the few military spots in the NE.

A nice addition to the flies you hear buzzing around would be an occasional rotting corpse. And some random loot on said corpses would be good too. Especially on the crashed heli sites, I mean those choppers didn't fly themselves. Where's the bodies of the pilots? Did zombies drag them away? Ok, leave a trail of blood disappearing into the grass. Or maybe a swarm or couple of zombies feasting on a dead body that if you are quiet enough, can sneak by without interrupting their meal. That would finalize the immersion factor for me,

No, they were probably recently killed bandits. LOL!

When I see someone with a sporter I think, they are either new and don't realize they are carrying a garbage weapon or they just spawned and haven't found a real weapon yet. Hell, I recently discarded an AK101 I was using as a second primary because the damaged plastic stock and handrail made you do giant figure eights when aiming it. Not to mention that other than finding full AK101 clips, it's too much of a pain in the ass to find ammo for it. The FNX pistol is a better weapon than the sporter and you can hide it in a shirt as a fresh spawn. The sporter just screams, please kill me... It will be easy.

True, but you also could meet someone who could end being an ally or someone who can give you info about others in the area. Some of the best interactions I have had in this game were randoms and not firefights. I respect whatever reasons you have for being a KOS player but doesn't it get old killing everyone all the time? And if everyone had that mentality you wouldn't last long either so it's good that some don't shoot first. This game is a free for all, it's a survival game. Play it how you want, your $30 was your own but I don't think your getting the best experience out it. I started as a hero, went bandit and now I'm a weary warrior. I like the feeling of helping noobs and freshies but will still scout out a situation fully before engaging with anyone.

Why not a belt feed right to your ammo boxes? *sarcasm*

I think the glow of a town in the distance would be very cool. Only for the cities and maybe the gas stations. The deserted tiny little towns and hovels are fine.

I have been stacking my 9mm rounds and my .45 rounds in the larger 40 round pile stacks. Technically that's more than 300 rounds per box, I wonder if I will get pinched and lose all my ammo like I did my 60 round stacks of 5.56. Grumble, rabble, grumble....

I recently had an issue where I lost an item because I didn't have the required space available when I switched it. Basically I lost my 75rd drum mag when I reloaded because I didn't have a 2x2 space available. This also happened when I stored an MP5 in the bottom part of my backpack. I know I lost the MP because of reshuffling but the drum mag deleted itself instead of just dropping to the ground. In the case of the drum if there was a note the description like: "2x2 space required in inventory to reload," it would have saved my massive disappointment at losing such a rare item. I never loaded it into my inventory when I got it, I just put right on my rifle so I didn't know. I imagine it's easier to add some text than to fix that bug. On a go forward basis, descriptions would certainly be helpful in working around this. Thanks.

If I spawned with my multi tool... I could take the NWA alone.

I think the addition of sickness and effects from weather will change our need and consumption of food. I like it the way it is as far as food spawn amounts. If you play on empty servers, yeah there is food everywhere but if you play on a busy server and you are only near a small town, supplies can be scarce if you need to replenish blood. Food should be something you can maintain and constantly look for when your geared, not something you desperately need all the time. Is it just me or are can openers more rare? I don't mind that, it makes finding one that much more rewarding knowing you can duke you machete.

Cannibalism?!? Whoa! Slow your roll... you might be a zed.

The day this game forces me to play every day without risk of penalty will be the last day I play it. That will turn this game into an annoying iPad/phone game. I go on vacation and my character suffers? Nope. Who needs that kind of stress? Keep continuing to make the game better and better as you have and I will keep coming back.

Slow down in your run from airfield to airfield. There are these things along the way called TOWNS. If you can't spare an inventory slot over all the hoarded weapons and ammo, drink one of the 1000 cans of soda that are in almost every building or just drink from a well. It is impossible to die of thirst in this game currently unless you actively try.

I see where you're coming from. Everyone is right about the damage real bullets do and how extensive. It would be nice to some how get a sense of where the shot came from, especially if you get hit. I play with a set of Astro A40's with optical HD audio and the sound couldn't be clearer yet you can't always tell where shots come from. If you get hit, it would be nice to see an impact hole or blood spot on your character when you go to the inventory screen. At least you could see damage on your front or back side and determine from what direction you were standing where the shots came from. I do like the realism of shots whizzing overhead while trying to scramble for cover and not knowing where they came from, that's cool.

I sure am glad they took the time to remove that game breaker.

The population count of the server has nothing to do with the loot spawns. But high count servers will have less because their are more people looting. Stick to the low count servers if you want to find loot. I join a high count when I'm geared because I know there will be some action and I don't have to worry about finding anything.

Why does there need to incentive to be nice? How about "not being a douche?" Is that good enough incentive? *rolls eyes*Damned kids today.... Smh

Like a few others have said, I think the FNX is the best weapon to have for a side. It holds 15rounds and be tricked out with a silencer, rd sight and a flashlight. The others are too noisy and don't have enough rounds for their worth. I use the FNX when looting because it's quick on the draw and you can empty it quickly. I literally bumped into a guy at a doorway at the firehouse at NWA and wheeled around quickly enough to return fire and drop him after he fired first. That might not have happened with a magnum or the pea shooter 22 guns.

Simply brilliant.... So perfect... This is what life is about.

I know it's an alpha and there are only so many sounds but it would be nice if the sounds matched the area. I am just about sick of hearing that chain link fence sound in the middle of the woods. And I don't want to hear flies unless there's a rotting loot rich corpse next to me. All this and there are still ninja zeds that only use their stealth powers after you acquire some pristine gear they want to ruin with one lagged out attack after they've been shot. I guess there flying dead bodies are covered with knives?

It would be good to find a map with writing on it with a location circled or something. We all know what's out there from dayzdb but this would add a nice immersion factor and maybe a reason to take up a slot. I like the idea of leading someone to a heli crash, that would make the map go from useless to one of the more highly sought after items along with the HC vest, MP5 and AK rifles.

Yeah I would rather be KOSed than spidered like that. Don't stop doing what you are doing, douches like that get their's. Couple of pointers, if you approach someone and their weapon is out keep strafing until they put it away. Also if they don't put away their weapon (unless they are carrying two) and your weapon is away... that guy is most likely going to pull some crap. Also be careful if they want to talk in the middle of the street or if they seem to be stalling, you probably have have his friend's crosshairs on you. I also laugh when I see a fully geared player acting like they don't know the controls or pause a lot when talking to you (because they are TeamSpeaking or Skyping with a friend while talking to you). That's not a player that can be trusted.

You worry about clipping on that? Focus Daniel-san... Focus!

I think this would be a nice addition to the game. I doubt they have hunting shops or outdoor stores in eastern block post apocalyptic towns but I bet they would have hardware stores. Somewhere you could count on some tools and maybe some ammo. Fire axes and a few other items can be hard to come by in certain parts of the map. It would be a good location for craftable items to be found.
