First, crafting something like an axe doesnt require anything but a couple rocks and some elbow grease - we wouldnt probably be alive today if humans werent able to figure that sort of thing out. Also its not difficult to find an axe as it is. Every firestation nearly and a great deal of sheds you can find an axe and they dont last all that long if you use them for what they are intended to be used for (which is back assward imho) like chopping down trees vs chopping some random bambi in the face. I havent read the updated bit or seen the PAX presentation but I will make sure to do that in the relatively near future. Thanks for pointing that stuff out. I do want to believe. I challenge you to broaden your experiences, dear friend. I have come to learn that people refer to it as "loot cycling" and all you have to do is pick up a bunch of stuff in a building (like the police station for example) and cart it off a certain distance to a different location OR, as I had ended up doing in Kamyshovo, putting it in a barrel or bag or you can even just stick things into clothing items and you dont even have to leave the building. Crap will literally spawn in front of you. I am in disagreement completely with the current item spawning situation. I think we'd be better off if a set number of each of the items in the game were available and that was it until server restart and everything were persistant. Of course we would need alternative methods of survival to relying on the crap in the cities for that to even consider that and its a pretty vulnerable idea but thats why Im not in charge of any of this. It definitely needs some work though. That and being able to just hop from server to server with crap is about bogus af. The only thing that will ever result from that is griefing.

I hate to ask this question but... do the devs actually read this stuff? I feel, after reading the roadmap for 2015 that the devs may or may not be pulling the proverbial wool over our eyes. Would be nice to know we aren't just wasting our time here. I mean, if you do the math, more than a lot of money has been made from the game sales and the team of devs seems fairly small for such a budget. Do we have any reason to expect any of this stuff for real?

I never meant to suggest putting a clay roof on a hut just to clarify. I like the A frame idea. I think you could build a decent sized hut without clay in a number of forms though. Im not even trying to be picky- Id just like to see the crafting / hunting side of things pushed forward more. I want clay for sure but my only suggestion is for crafting containers of various sizes to cook with or just store items in that maybe you might keep in your hut or whatever you might find them useful for. That 'hobo knife' is definitely something to consider. Upgrading the cheap pointy stick arrows isnt a bad idea either. Maybe that could increase the damage or range or accuracy or all of that. We should keep piling this stuff on em here. These ideas are legit! On huts though I dont see how they could be persistant which is kinda gonna be a downfall but I still say they should have some inventory space for firewood and other materials for crafting- I dont see what it would hurt. If the huts were persistant and easy enough to conjur up tho people would just build crap tons of them and make a mess of one thing or another. Only being able to build them in certain areas is probably the best bet either way honestly. Good thinking with or without a clay roof.

The guy in that video is a beast! lol Glad youre with me on this stuff. It makes good sense. I wouldnt want to create an imbalance with tents and huts though. It should require just as much effort if not more to make a hut as it would be to find a tent and haul it off to wherever you want to go. Another advantage tents would have is varying storage capacity and mobility. Im pretty sure this would work out just fine. The avatar... I cut it out of this picture: LoL

Im with the socks idea. Not because my feet hurt a lot or I fatigue too easily but because I put some leather shoes on with TTsKO pants once... if that doesnt screem 'WE NEED SOCKS!' I just dont know what does...

1 week to 1 month after the infection and there are still perfectly yellow bananas laying around in storage units... totally realistic... xD Tactical Bacon is real... its only like 20 dollars a can... some rich guy must have been running from zombies all across chernarus with that stuff spilling out of his bottomless pockets... his wife and kids and their chinese butler were dropping rice and spaghetti o's and canned peaches lol realistic indeed

Thats why I gave you my beans. :beans:

im just scared of losing the ol stash... you know... all the other servers are up n running tho.

Anyone know why Northeast 0-1 (Experimental/Unstable) is down? It said 'server is shutting down you will be kicked' and its been offline since... does anyone know why or whats going on?
