How many sniper rounds fired, how many hits? Accuracy % with the sniper rifles. See how bad we are at sniping collectively.

How about halving the axe drops, upping the crowbar drops and making the axe a utility item only and the crowbar a melee weapon only? Really the only difference between the two from what I can tell is the model and animation?

Logout of DayZ earlier (1.7.1.2) with http://i.imgur.com/vb7m1.jpg log in and my inventory looks like http://i.imgur.com/0OeX8.jpg wut. I lost good stuff and gained compass and maps and stuff, and the only thing i did was log out, watch WWE RAW on tivo, eat some dinner and log in.

I love feeling like a Skyrim Giant with a melee weapon, it's hilarious. Servers I was on weren't crashing.

Right, so I've previously posted (on page 21). I pretty much agree with myself shockingly. Zombies new attacks and being able to hide from them is cool though they're at the stage of where you'd consider them enough of a threat to not even bother sneaking past them, instead just aggro them in to a barn, gun them all down or as many as you can and just run out. There are no food or water spawns. I'd be okay with this but there's also no canteen or box of matches spawns either. Both times I've played this patch tonight I've found military grade weapons in the strangest of places (visited two deer stands and found binoculars in both. Visited a barn and found an AKS74u and an AK74 Kobra I believe. So many weapons and yet no food. I think starter gear should consist of Water Canteen, Morphine, Flashlight, Flares, Box of Matches. If you don't have a gun, why the hell would you need painkillers on spawn? Seems redundant. However being left to crawl from kamenka to morphine because of broken bones is pretty ridiculous.

Having died, respawned in to test out the patch fully I spent a few hours playing. During my time I never once found a can of soda or tin of food inside a building. I found two cans of coke on zombies corpses and one tin of sardines. I also never found an empty water bottle and never once found a box of matches. I died with 7 raw meat, 61 zombies killed and 1 murder (player was AFK and unresponsive in direct seemingly and I really needed food, he didn't have any) In the same session I found an AK Kobra, M1911, Winchester, Lee Enfield, Binoculars, Double Barrelled Shotgun and plenty of other weaponry so that's fine. I'm okay with starting with no weapon. However starting with no food when empty cans are spawning far too often makes this a glorified hide and seek for food. Bandages weren't spawning either, I found 3 from zombie corpses. I think the ideal change would be no food, no drink, no weapon. However a box of matches as starter equipment and an empty water bottle (would force people off the coast essentially, even partially). Searching for a weapon is very fun, having to trick zombies by losing them in towns. Searching for beans unsuccessfully really isn't fun. I shouldn't have to kill 61 zombies every time I have to eat. This happened over two different servers by the way because I was unsure about the loot spawning. First time I've ever actually used tin cans and whiskey bottles as an item. edit: Worth noting too, zombies spawning inside lootable buildings and not moving. Even with smoke grenades and distractions. Zombies just do not move in towns unless they spawn on a field. They're totally broken and it's horrible to attempt to find food without a weapon.
