You know I do agree with the OP in many respects- I don't mind the many guns / less ammo / fewer mags... recently we had a transaction within our helpy helpers group that went something like: "Just found a tricked out M4..." "Are you going to use it?" "Yeah-" "Sigh- yet another M4 to feed." Mags are more available than ammo- at least on our server. We don't have a bunch of hoppers scouring the interwebs for 5.56mm- so we ration or just change to different weapons which I think is okay. We changed our style to accommodate the change in the game instead of complaining about the game not appeasing our own expectations. Similarly, while it is inevitable that much of the game will pander to the lowest common denominator (pvp streamers), there are plenty of designated areas (designated by the layout of loot) for them to go and fuck each other's egos. Meanwhile the guys wanting to dig a bit deeper into the meta will also have more than enough room to play the game the way they want... Want to live off the land? Want to exist on nothing but what the earth provides? Wear nothing but leather garments? That lifestyle can exist in harmony with the screechers. Many I think, will end up dipping a little into both worlds- swaying at anchor at the pangs of boredom... Going out and making a mission out of hunting a deer to make garments out of and then once that wears off, heading over to a hot spot and cutting off a couple ears to make a necklace out of. Fortunately, I think DayZ will allow equal opportunity for both even if the development seems heavily skewed towards one more than the other.

We're running into that too. Make the most out of them while they last but frankly this bug is going to severely impact gameplay while it exists- regardless of their utterly embarrassing presence in the game. You lag when you look at them, you lag when you're around them in other vehicles... you lag when you drive them... you lag as a passenger... But- when you have one and you're not worried about getting killed it sure beats Shift-W for 40 minutes.

That is honestly a very unique problem- not sure I've ever heard of it. Best course of action may be to submit a bug report... perhaps someone sifting through those has encountered it before.

Found a wad in hunting related clothing- those hunter cabins (log cabin with the blue windows on the one end (maybe both ends))... hunter stands obviously- Not seeing a bunch of it out there thank god since the winchester last patch could net kills at 800m. Nevermind the FAL- I shudder at the thought.

Then do what I said. Report back.

Sound specs might help but to be honest I'm leaning towards a corrupt install. I'd be inclined to "verify integrity of game cache" in Steam (in properties / local files) on the off chance that it would save me from a reinstall... if that didn't work I'd reinstall. This is of course assuming you don't have similar problems in other games- which may point a smoking gun at your sound device.

I love how the TS3 and in game mics cause that echo... that's pure master craftsmanship there. Go ahead and learn how to turn that off.

It's no small wonder why nobody takes this game seriously... fucking idiots.

I've been finding them being spammed in the two story green houses... up the stairs, turn left... first door. They're in that closet.

Funny enough, I checked practically every shed I could from sol to our own MC and only found 1 burlap sac.... I left it with another one in your tent with all the torches. Did you want them in strips or sacs?

I have seen a canteen- and I've stumbled into quite a few water bottles now (that I already had the 2 I like to carry) however I went for days without seeing any. Thanks to Cold for providing me with a couple and then after that I found quite a few.

I have seen cows at the NWAF as well... So cows are in too.

And whatever you guys do... do NOT mention the M4 he lost yesterday using the hotkeys. His saltiness will know no boundaries! Luc- I'm finding a lot of burlap around but I didn't know any of our guys were looking for some. I migrated out to solnichny somehow last night (I started heading west and somehow ended up at Dolina from our MC) and on my way back I'll have some room. That should resolve your saltiness! I'll stash them at the MC.

I can be "overheatED"- I can't be actively overheating while promptly cooling off. I suppose it's semantics.

So boars are actually out? That's my favourite pack too

I agree with all that- Only reason I'm not a fan of nights right now is because all people do is crank up gamma or leave. Playing at night would be a much richer experience if everyone was on a level playing field and that field wasn't bathed in artificial light.

Yeah... anyone who says they've been in the game since .54 and claims to not be a beginner who still dies from thirst not once but twice- Wow. Offense intended: You're doing it so fucking wrong. Too much pew pew and not enough do do makes for a pretty lame experience.

Thing is, by and large the gamma "hax" is the only reason 90% of people even play at night on any server. Most just jump off the server when it "gets dark" and go to a daytime rig. So... you can put in whatever simple or elaborate solution in place that you want, a majority of people playing are just going to leave the servers and go elsewhere.

I just saw my first one today at a heli crash... It's of limited use without the matching butt pack / vest. It may be worth mentioning we do the heli track regularly- and within our group this is the first one we've found.

This is how I spend basically all day in game... and granted I'm wearing gloves AND a balaclava but what offends common sense is the fact that I can be overheating and promptly cooling off at the same time. Most of the game is spent bouncing from pond to pond, getting drenched and then carrying on. Not a particularly exciting meta.

Shooting a guy in the face with an FNX45 isn't the best way to "feel a guy out," if you know what I'm sayin. On a serious note- I agree.

None.

Wow... your creativity knows no boundaries. zzzzzz.

"trolling"

The last couple days I spent most of the time working around the helicopter track, heading down to Zelenegorsk and then back up around Vybor / Valvoline / Lopatino area then across to the NWAF... skulk around there to see what's going on but surprisingly I haven't seen anyone on those treks. I've since meandered down to the coast since I haven't been there since I was a fresh spawn at the beginning of .60- A fog built as I got closer to the beach in Svet... I like the ambiance. As always my objective is more to help than hinder... however as a proud Helpy Helper I will meet anyone I encounter in the middle of their disposition. If they're friendly I'll fill them full of delicious grub and if they're assholes I'll chop them up and force feed their body to their fresh spawn.
