Loot has become rare, good loot even more. Even if you only find a hammer, take it in your hand, if you encounter Zs at least you have something to defend yourself. Circle around the Zs to avoid being hit at try to loot buildings in the streets where you killed the Zs. Try to be inventive. Don't stop moving trying to find what you need in order to survive really fast. They reduced the loot and you will soon find out when you'll be looking for a gun. There's not much else to say, as t1337Dude said you really need to move your ass.

Fantastic :D :D :D I can't give you 3x beans, so have 1.

Alright, I'm sorry I don't know what tools you do have as a DayZ server admin. Wait for some DayZ support team member to read this post, maybe they'll be kind enough to give you more accurate information about these matters.

I give my turn to somebody else, right now I'm in the forest, it's going to be really hard to find where I am.

First it's not your private server, it's a PUBLIC server you rented, you are not allowed no lock it using password nor kick out players. Two, try not to write as you would speak or think, I had hard times understanding most of your sentences, please be calm before posting. If you're French, just post in French and we will translate if you're not accustomed with English.

1. You're in Nadezhdino 2. Mosin with LRS

Let the Z run on you and when it's about 10m away (right before it attacks) run quickly on the right side (character is right handed) to find yourself behind him and hit with your melee weapon. If you miss or if the Z is still alive repeat this. Don't be impatient or it will hit you and maybe ruin something. Take your time.

Jump servers :P

I still haven't found one since 0.49.

I've spent 1 week since the 0.49 update looking for an AK rifle in all the military bases of Chernarus. I hope it won't take you so long to find one but expect a lot of frustration during your searches.

Watch your ass when circling round Green Mountain, now that some items that could only be looted on helis have seen their spawn chance drasticaly reduced, an old kind of playstyle seems to have come back; the camper. These players know exactly that the loop round Green Mountain is where you have the best chances to find a heli crash and they take position on the edge of the Green Mountain forest waiting for an unsuspecting victim to come. BTW you don't have a 360° vision from the top of the tower (the forest bellow blocks vision)and if the weather is bad you won't be able to see far enough to spot heli crashes.

Just found my 3rd crah site in 10 days, 2 MI-8 one only with military boots and some clothing, the otherone empty (probably looted) and 1 UH-60 that had only crap like 2x worn M4 buttstock MP, 1x pristine M68 CompM2 Optics, 3x Rocket Aviators and 2x Glasses with thin frames. No ammo box, no M4, no balaclava. And I'm pretty sure I was the first on site.

Right now servers are mostly managed by private people, in order to make the game a success this solution seems better than having 100 official servers that would be saturated in no time. It's not a perfect model but at least you can connect to any server anytime and play.

Fence noises in the middle of the forest where the closest fence is 2 miles away sounds stupid. But I do agree it may not be top priority to fix these.

He drew first blood, I think no one would blame you if you do what needs to be done in order to stay alive. Next time make sure the offender won't come back, some people do not understand when you speak correctly, they think you're weak and good to kill.

3 days ago I was on a not too populated server (20/30), making my way back from Nadezhdino and heading to Zelenogorsk. On the edge of the forest east of Pulkovo and Pogorevka I check the number of players online a see 9/30, it was 02:00 AM and I told myself I'll go find shelter in the Green Mountain forest for the night. As the server population was relatively low I decide to take a shortcut south of Pogorevka through the fields following the hedges but quite in the open fields. As I reach the hedge east of the Green Mountain forest I hear a "fffffweeeeh", I realize someone is shooting at me, I start running trying to take cover in the hedge and another shot comes, at that moment I know there's a sniper on my right on the edge of the Green Mountain near the deer stand. The guy takes another 4 shots as I reach the edge of the forest myself. I pull out my SKS in case the sniper is not alone and one of his friends awaits me on my left side which is also my escape route. I start to run heading for the Green Mountain dirt road, 3 more shots, 1 touches me lightly and turns my pristine High Capacity Vest into worn, however no flesh wound nor bleeding, and I shake the poorly skilled sniper in the woods heading for the Sosnovy Pass in order to reach the forest south of Myshkino. Before that I had a great day, but I almost ruined everything because I got lazy and too confident. Not too much damage to report but my High Capacity Vest and PSO-1 Scope both pristine before this happened and now worn.

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment :D , have my beans mate

None of these options, I don't care if you're in trouble, you're not my brother, we don't know each other, if you're in trouble you probably deserved it. I won't actively seek to kill you but if you're on my way I'll shot you without a word, I don't care about the bullshit you're trying to sell me, I don't have time for this. I keep moving, streets, forests, hills, it doesn't matter, I have my own goals and you're not part of them.

What do you think if we had an online clothing tester, a virtual dressing-room where you can see all the available clothing and weapons in game? Thus allowing us to test what outfit would be best match our tastes.

This would be worthwhile giving it a try on an experimental server to see what happens. It could solve many problems inherent to players behavior, yet would the community accept it or start to complain about the fact that on guy found a M4 in the supermarket and that it is unfair because he wasn't so lucky and so on. Have my beans

:D

Style doesn't necessarily mean "not effective", a blaze can be as deadly as a M4 in the right hands. Last week after the Great Wipe I headed to NWAF to find the gear I needed, I approached the site from the NE where there's a nest at the entrance. There was a guy in the nest fully geared, I had no ammo for my CR527 and a stun baton with no battery, I run round the nest, he pulls out his M4 and stands about 20 meters away from the nest waiting for me to run away in order for him to easily shoot me. Instead I just ran right on him then in circles around him, he emptied 2 mags hitting nothing but thin air, then he pulled out his pickaxe and I thought it was time for me to flee. Good gear doesn't make you a better player, definitely not.

:D Thanks for not having misspelled the lastname :D , back on topic; I think the devs just made the server with the idea to have private hives in the future so they added the password option right from the beginning.

Well if that matches your tastes, in the online virtual dressing-room you can do whatever you want without the risk to be shot because you stay still wondering if you're going to pick that hat up or not.

Why a bug? Maybe this camp was a camp for the refugees fleeing the big cities and the infection. Its position on the map makes me think that is was just built for that purpose. This would explain why you don't find weapons but only food and some clothing. Yet only a Bohemia guy could answer this question.
