This exploit should be fixed soon. Nobody should be able to put full containers into other containers. Such containerception supposedly also caused some lag or desync and as a mechanics make no sense. What about making MP5K having foldable buttstock, as in real life and while folded, it would take less space in bag? Downside would be that firing it while folded, would result in more recoil. Btw I (and probably others too) have suggested, that items from backpack should not be allowed to the hotbar. Only items from jacket,vest and pants could be put on hotbar and accessed on the go. Stuff in backpack should be only accessible while you press TAB and that should make your character kneel and do animation of shuffling through backpack. I believe you will agree with me, that running while you move stuff around backpack, or easily acessing backpack items with hotbar on the go, should go. Mod was better in this regard and I hope they will do something similar in SA too.

Really?! Wonder if some joker dumped it there since I've never found any sporter mags outside of jail buildings,police stations, barracks or tents, which made the Sporter almost not worthy of picking up :-(. I would also like certain pistols, like CZ75, to have chance to spawn in civilian buildings as well as their mags. I mean pistols can be also considered as civilian weapons, since armies do not uses pistols much, except as backup / last resort weapon. Hell, russians hated pistols and considered them almost worthless, that was why they assigned AKSU's to tank crews or drivers etc.

Massive post but full of truth! If only this post would open eyes of many new players who know only Berezino madness. Somehow I doubt it, since reading this post takes patience which is something many of the new players obviously lack. And yes, regearing can be fun as hell. Even stupid Sporter can be treasured, if its only weapon you find (just wish mags spawned in civ buildings to make it more viable). You are happy to get any backpack possible, even ugly kids bag and once you are fully energized and hydrated, you feel acomplishment as well. If you just hop like a moron, you probably skip all these cycles of life of DayZ character, thus robing yourself of full DayZ experience.

Oh you weasel! Hm once they make backpack persistent I can imagine this to be used tons more. Btw I wonder, how many backpack could each player stash. I hope they will balance it somehow.

Sorry did you even read my post? I am NOT against the killing, I just dislike DayZ being turned into Berezino death match. I mean if some folks did it, no problem. If more and more of new players is clueless or impatient and resorts only to this, then it is kinda hurting the gameplay as we knew it from mod. Hope devs will suceed in getting those players out of spawn areas.

Not sure if troll or stupid? Nobody is against the killing, what some of us hate is, when people ignore 90% of what DayZ has and go do DM in Berezino for teh lulz!

This is where you are wrong... HE WAS BANNED ZOMG#$^#

Are you sure about this? I've googled it and found: Size: 23.7 inches extended, 14.5 inches compact Maybe 2x5 would suit it better, but ok, you have different opinion, no problem. Still if you could fold buttstock, it becomes pretty handy. Still can't wait for smaller Skorpion.

Since Devs stated that they no longer hunt for realism that much, maybe they could tweak nightime to be more interesting. Tons of folks are saying that when you are outside, you often don't see tip of your nose. While that might be realistic, most of folks hate it, which is why night servers are almost empty or folks turn up gamma. Wish the night was as Esscapee linked. It is probably not realistic, but looks so damn good and I would salivate to play in such night time. Oh well, once DX10/11 rendered is in, we could get nice looking light system similar to what Arma 3 has. It is really treat to look at all those explosions and muzzle flashes in Arma 3, it's miles ahead of what Arma 2 and DayZ SA atm has.

Oh darn, forgot it's just 2x2 :-). But I'm glad you agree that 2x4 would feel about right. Btw can't wait when they introduce Skorpion, that little bugger should also be 2x4.....what would be crazy good if you could collapse the stock and it would turn into 2x2 pistol with automatic fire, but with more recoil compared to unfolded stock.

Eh I did not want to hurt you, it's just that, in my humble opinion and experience, DayZ is everything except quick fix for deathmatch. You are right, that human interaction is the best part of this game. It is just that such interaction should come naturaly no matter where on the map you are. Back in the mod, the action was spread more evenly. You had crazy firefights in Chernogorsk and Elektro, but if you went more North-west, there was a lot of action as well. Areas around Stary Sobor, Vybor, Pustoshka and North West Airfield were pretty dangerous, but no matter where you went, there was some chance to meet people since many folks loved to hide their tents around north and west edges of the map. What I am trying to say is, that it would be such a pitty, if Dayz turned into endless deathmatch around Berezino and the rest of the map was dead. I have nothing against you being new player, it's just when you type a post like you did, it simply perpetuates this problem. For a change, try to skip Berezino and head west. Check Green Mountain, really nice place with jail building, check maybe Zelenogorsk, it also has military base and while you are in the west, why not to explore Vybor and Northwest airfield? I really wish that Standalone will get the level of player encounters it had in mod. Maybe with more loot at helicrashes, maybe they will create uniquie NATO outpost somewhere beyond Lopation or such... Whatever they do, I hope players will be naturaly forced to move around the map more than it is now.

Fair enough. I just feel it is a tad longer pistol and pistols take 2 x 3 rows right? So 2x4 would be perfect, but that is only my opinion and I respect that not everybody has to agree.

Yup takes 3 rows of 4 spaces. I wish it took only 2 rows of 4 spaces instead, since it is not that ultra good ayway.

I was under impression that is it enough to have 1 SSD say 256GB for OS and selected games plus classic HDD with higher capacity like 2TB. But I guess if you don't know what to do with your money, buy any number of SSD's you like.

Hmm that is weird. Did not he write:"if they want to make us go to the west, they should have added spawns at the west." and also "The problem I have with that is the time it takes to get there (Vybor)." . Both sentences indicates that this player does not have patience to explore the map fully and prefers some weird quick deathmatch. Such people best play Battlefield or something, as those games cater specificaly to this needs. To your last sentence, well MAYBE this is what Devs want. Maybe they want you to move your ass further west and leave your convienient little deathmatches around Berezino and NEA. Have you considered this?

Well that was something....btw what was it? Some desync?

Never has it occured to me, that red chain means players nearby. Anyway if they fixed it, then most good.

Oh so you would like to spawn directly at military bases? Now you made me work hard not to insult you.....gosh it takes strong will. *cough* DayZ is not your usual FPS game, where you spawn and are in full military gear and ready to death match everybody. If you really don't have time or will to make journey to the west, which does not take that long (30-40 mins?) then this game simply is not for you. Personally I rejoice every time that Devs do something that forces players to west. I wish they would remove also Balota barracks & tents as these feel a bit out of place also. So really, either you accept the fact that best gear is to be found more west, or you should stop playing. Believe me, any suggestions like yours "If they want to make us go to the west, they should have added spawns at the west." will and should be opposed by a lot of people. Adding some more spawn points could be good, but it should always be away from the military hotspots, atleast that is what I think. But maybe it's just my experience from the mod, where you had to make the journey to fast north-west to enjoy barracks loot.

I dont think there are heli crash spawns near Svetlo...all seem to be around Stary and west of it.

I also hope that when they fix loot respawning, that this could tone down server hopping maddness. Also it could mean that less stuff would spawn, but would respawn regularly...like I dont know...every 40 minutes or so? That way, if you joined server thats up for few hours, you would have better chance of finding anything and have some fun. Btw what Rocket said, about the need to hop servers to get parts for heli, that sounded like very bad way to handle it. I never thought this global economy will affect things like spare parts and force you to server hop for them. I always thought it would be more about .50 cal or some hardcore weapons not being too common.

What saddens me, that when I take the same route, I seldom find other players, thus there is so few interaction. I wish them people leaved damned Berezino and headed west to explore more. I wonder if our hopes are in private hives with unique character on each server. Time will tell.

Lol so you are one of those who are trying to "ninja" handcuff folks? Man, I got robbed even without them bandits having handcuffs. They just aimed at my head and demanded me to drop all my stuff. I complied, they stole my food and took my mosin ammo, but rest they left. Ok, they fed me few earth worms before leaving,but I managed to find water pump and drink till I puked and later I found charcoal. I'm trying to say, that the interaction is in the game, it is just tad harder then shooting. What irks me more is when so many folks are deathmatching in Berezino and thats all they do.

Now that is weird, I remember that moving with SKS was slower than with pistol. So with SKS the rifle lagged more, with pistol it was almost instant. If both rifle and pistol had the same speed of moving, it is surely bug.

You were obviously lucky, that server hoppers did not clean Balota or Pavlova base before you. Ofc I agree, that server hopping is plauge that harms the game, since it also disrupts natural flow of players through the map. Player arrives to Balota, he finds it empty, instead of heading to Pavlova or Zeleno, he server hops X times to get unlooted Balota. There is so much wrong with this philosophy. Sadly I can't envision good solution except having separate character per each server, which is something Rocket does not want. I was musing about having "no log out" zones around military spawns, but that would only make hopping slightly more annoying, but not prevent it. Btw I just played SA for 3 hours straight. I met only 1 person in Elektro firestation and that's it. Server had over 30 players and I met only friggin one on my journey from Gorka, Dolina, Staroye, Elektro, Cherno and Balota O_o.

I agree, unless you wear ballistic protection, your jacket, even if full of tin cans, should not protect you that much. I'd prefer that items in clothing do not protect from damage at all, neither should the clothing itself except if its ballistic vest. 2-3 7.62x39 body shots should drop anybody dead or atleast near dead and unconscious.
