Thanks for the insight. I was some what right.

In my simple mind i believe there is an maximum amount of each item on the server. If 10 people go around looting and putting 20 AKM and m4 in tents / barrels.. At some point no more can spawn in. Maximum limit reached. Maybe despawn items if they are not used / moved within x amount of hours/days. Weapons run out... But i can assure you that peacoats will never run out.

It's a cold... Nothing works other than wait it out. Roughly 8 hours.

I find them perfectly balanced now. Glad that we finally can crouch jog past them again. A few patches ago they were relentless with eyes in the back of their head.

I used to be a server hopper due to three things: 1. Finding the same loot over and over and over... It got me frustrated and annoyed. 20 peacoats in a row.... Great. 2. Not being able to defend myself because of broken weapons (mosin, shotty) or veeeery scarce placement of gun / ammo / magazine. (try to find an mp5, ammo and 4 magazine AND a gun cleaning kit faster than one person can run to zelenogorsk MB and get fully geared) 3. Specific clothes and gear The sad part is that the game force you to go to a military base. For instance.. where do you find PU scope and ammo for the mosin? 9 out of 10 times at an MB. Where are the most modable weapons? You guessed it... MB. Where are the clothes that have the most inventory slots? Ding Ding.. Right again. Three things to fix server hoppers: 1. Rework the RNG/loot 2. Log out timer 30 second, 180 sec wait time to enter another server. Logging out from second server within 20 minutes will add 60 sec log out timer and wait time to enter a 3rd server should be 360 sec. That will Also stop combat loggers. 3. Fill up police stations and guard houses with mp5, scorpion, ammo and magazines. Remove spawnable police cars and make them static. How on earth can you compare spawnable police cars and mp5's with spawnable heli crash and svd? Also, mosin and shotgun should be a common thing around residential areas. Just like you know what you will find when going to a military base or camp, just the same should it be when seeing a police station in the distance.

I did not get a character wipe. Just spawned in after patch and was bleeding like crazy. But still with my old character.

Can confirm that hardcore servers are not fixed. Still spawn in 3rd person. Also, opening compass are now buggy, tried pressing a few times and at the same time accidently press inventory button.... and it opened the compass.

Way to go Rolf!

How can you choose? PC i guess?

Is hardcore first person fixed? Also... Who is Rolf? And what was wrong with his hair?

Agree

I'm bored of dayz... Only took 400+ hours. Played it 20 minutes this past wednesday. Just walked around trying to think of something to do. Shut it off. Fired it up yesterday and tried to enjoy it... 30 minutes later i shut it off. Tried tonight... Lasted 5 minutes and boredom hit me right in the face. Nope... Not touching this game until next major patch, if it adds and fix a lot, or until 1.0.

Very well put Tropic. Just do as I did. Hit the cog up top and add ignore on the mister know it all pc elitist. I won't play the game until its patched big time or until 1.0 but i will keep you in mind and send a pm with GT once i start playing again.

What developers seem to not understand with console players is that we are very picky and demanding. A pc player can play a broken and ugly mess for 2 years while the console community will rage like no one else. We are used to optimized (well, not Always) and triple a games from very renowned studios but now we get lazy, sloppy and ignorant developers releasing half finished games with +2 years left of development. We also get a very non-transparant attitude from developers.. Like they found a cure for cancer but are so hush hush about it. Its a video game. Once developers appreciate and let their fans and customers in... everything will go smoother. It's not a us vs them mentality that should be practiced here.

One thing is for sure, Dayz is not a hardcore survival game... Atleast not on xbox. No, on xbox it's a get full army gear and either an M4 or AKM and go pvp. Just have servers with pvp or pve split up.

Would it be possible to get a "lie down" position more like flatout on the ground in order to play dead or trick players.

Haha! That would scare me if i was looting someone.

It's just my thoughts so don't go bat shit crazy. Two things i was thinking of after nearly 500 hours of playing this game. 1. Someone on here said something great..about a cease fire zone on the map. Would be awesome to have a place to meet, exchange gear, stories and what not. Just hang around. A lot of rpg games have this (unfortunally it's fantasy/sci-fi games, not my cup of tea). 2. Why not take what we have and make a tactical PvP part with everything from the core game. Fully customizeable character and clothes. It would cater to the masses, help selling more units. Lets face it...the majority of Xbox players are all about PvP. I'm thinking last man standing and last team standing. 25 minute matches with spectate. You need to loot and scavange food, drinks, weapons, ammo, vest and helmet. Zombies are in the game world. Exactly as the vanilla game. You could have different sections of Chernarus as "maps" per match. NWAF, Elektro, Berezino, Tisy, Zelenogorsk, Hunters lodge and so on. Each map is a big section of the exesting Chernarus. I believe it would attract more players and also remove some of the itchy trigger finger that we see now. Imagine you playing DayZ and working on your camp and garden, looting other people's bases, sneaking around military camps, scouting for vantage points, helping bambis, killing bandits etc. But once in awhile you get the itch of just killing, instead of running for 45 minutes to get to Elektro and hopefully find 3-4 other players to shot, you could just enter last man standing, vote for a section and do exactly as in DayZ but this time you KNOW that there will be firefights, you know you will meet others to kill within a couple of minutes and you might even make it the last man standing. After a couple of matches you can go back to DayZ and continue with your precicious character...but this time with less of an itchy trigger finger. And no, i don't want to go play GRW, The division, Battlefield, cod, Vigor or any other shooter..i want to play THIS game and i would really like to see a LMS seperate game mode. Edit* it's exactly the same as DayZ only it has an added timer of 25 minutes. No kill feed or anything. Just cut of sections to play during 25 minutes and it's off to another section for the next match/25 minutes.

Sounds like fun.

I guess you don't play on xbox... A lot of bambi killers and pvp going on around the coast. Especially in elektro.

No matter what colour... It's KOS on xbox. Atleast that's the mentality i feel.

Yes.

Or... BI could fix the broken loot system. Also... finding 50 peacoats in a row is not exactly fun or encourage exploration /looting.

That are so true. Same with features and functions in games. It feels like developers never look at the competition and what others did a good job with (control scheme as an example).

I dropped my bag next to me. So while they loot... BAM!
