1) Yep, played for a good 5 hours in a row, 4 small to medium towns visited, no food or drinks but i found a bug. Every time you disconnect and connect back you thirst and hunger meter reset itself to full green so if you are about to die of thirst or hunger just dc and connect back. Problem solved for the moment. 2) Of the 4 towns visited only 1, the last one, had a gun with only 1 clip. Maybe i was just unlucky. 3) No bandages nor morphine but plenty of painkillers. Had to go to a hospital for the first 2. 4) 90% of the loot is junk like bent tin cans whiskey bottles etc. Useful for when you don't have a weapon cause you can lure the Z away from the spot you wanna check but useless after that. 5) Some Z spawn inside inaccessible buildings. Sometimes they pass through the wall, some other they stay there. Zed spawn inside loot able buildings too, and more often than not. Kind of a big deal if you are still unarmed. 6) Plenty of the new double barrel shotty, but the Winchester seems to have become really rare now (at least during my gameplay). 7) Found 3 backpacks in the same building, as well as 3 watches(another building), 2 knives in the same room and 4 hatchets( for the 3 barns in berezino) a bit strange. Overall i'm happy. The behaviour of the Zed is much better than yesterday (1.7.1) which for me was unmanageable and still better than 1.7 .Somewhere in between i guess. Which makes it balanced.
