so i have completed an epic journey from cherno to svetlo. it took me 3 days and like 20h. i looted nearly every city that was inland between them and made a couple of detours. i was lucky cause i found a trumpet early on and tons of ammo for it. 0.55 is by far the patch that i had the most fun on. memorable stuff: - only found about 10 cans, all of tactical bacon and all in those outside toilets - only found 2 guns, the trumpet and a repeater when i was already an hour or two away from svetlo. - didn't see a single soul even when the server was full. - the game felt like an apple picking simluator sometimes. - only saw 1 chicken, 4 cows and 1 deer during my journey. i killed all of them and ate them raw, was lucky not to get sick. they really need to improve the whole cooking aspect of the game - managed to catch a fish but it only gave me guts :( - the ashwood bow is broken in 0.55 - had my legs broken 4 times by zombies. the ai is great and they could be even more badass B) - best way to kill z's (apart from shooting them) is hitting them in the head with the brass knuckles (1 hit kill) - the loot system isn't broken. i assume all the guns were taken and as it was a private sever they didn't respawn, beacuse i found plenty of other goodies and tons of ammo/clips. only thing that needs tweaking is the food distribution. i really got tired of picking berries and apples all the time in order not to stave to death. but great jobs devs, really like where this is heading!

almost died of cholera. consumed like 12 charocal tabs and 4 antibiotics. i was red sick and now i logged out on yellow sick. at least the 'i feel a rumble in my bowels' message is gone that popped up every 5 min or so. let's see if i get healthy again as i have already consumed all the meds i had and for the life of me i can't find more. i was very lucky because there weren't almost any players in my private shard server so i could nurse myself back to health in peace. i don't know if i'm gonna be alright, but staying hydrated and energized was key. everytime the hydrated indicator vanished i started losing blood. like i said i was lucky to have all those meds with me. if you drink pond water in 0.55 you're gonna have a bad time. will update once i either die or the long awaited healthy status appears.

So today i tried out 0.55 and i had a blast. I played alone, cause none of my friends were available and it was the most fun i had playing alone ever. The update is great! The Z's are not that hard to kill, early on in the game I got a Trumpet and ton of ammo and one-shot-killed most of the walkers with a headshot. Shooting zombies doesn't seem like a waste anymore. I found an mp5 with 4 fully loaded magazines but i haven't even used it yet. From what I'm reading i got lucky, the coast was picked clean when i searched for loot, thank god that i didn't spawn there. I headed inland and almost got killed by 3 Z's. Dayz seems to be heading in the right direction. They really need to fix the loot spawn points (finding tkso jackets in random houses) and the coast problem though.
