just my personal opinion, no need to be sad.

yes, the springs are only on the main island, but all around. i tested the barrels - they dont catch snow/water. there is no rain on sakhal. i spent quite some hours on the military island ("italy") and didnt get the need for any springs there. i had a cooking pot with filled water - used to boil the fish and it gave plenty of hydration. big fan of the reduction of inventory slots. i can still carry a bunch of crap with me. even assault rifles still fit in the big backpacks and are easy to access with hotkeys. devs should go further 🙂

everything that slows the character progession a bit down is more than welcome. the vanilla loot table is still a piece of cake, but it got a bit better over the years. i think the loot economy is still a weak part in the vanilla game, specially now on sakhal and still on livonia. (specially shotguns and its ammo, scopes, high/best insulation clothes, the heavy amount of canned food - all in tier 1 players spawn zones. cherno has a tier 4 zone around the townhall... WHY?). i would like to see more restrictions, like not being able to pick stuff from inside your backpack, until u drop it or put it in your hands. the inventory should simply be hidden while u carry it on your back. food, water, cold was never a problem for me personally in the vanilla game. at some point u could roam for hours without consuming anything.

holding LMB for 5 minutes straight? thats insane! but i would like to see some balancing on the action wheels. wringing out clothes seems to be the MOST time consuming thing (in regards of holding LMB). skinning dead players/animals shouldnt be quicker than that wringing animation.

they said so in their last dev stream. reasons are the changes to inventory and they dont want u to be fully geared while just joining sakhal.

really? its right in that very first posting: click "reveal hidden contents" below "FaQ".

yea thats no intended mechanic^^

i think its lame af. theres already servers that have the dot enabled... just play those instead of fooling yourself and others.

one visit at tisy military and u should find all nbc parts easily there.

didnt u read the huge disclaimer that popped up everytime u started the game during alpha 😛 jokes aside, i couldnt agree more with you guys and this thread should be bumped every now and then to remind the devs.

check your cfgrandompresets.xml. you can edit the content of the xmas boxes to your liking there.

yes, but remember this is a game and stones are powerful tools, so its good they are limited.

plenty of stones. railroadtracks and the hiking paths are your best friend. u already spawn next to the railroad (chernarus)... just loot the buildings (thats what u do anyway as a freshie) next to the railroad and check afterwards. ambient loot (stones, fruits, shrooms) spawns with player activity, just give them a minute to spawn in. its really that easy. u can also farm stones at rock formations with a hammer or a similar tool. also u can craft a knife with just 2 bones. on top of it there spawn hundreds of knives and other bladed weapons in the world. but finding 2 small stones within 2 minutes after spawn should be no big task.

i really dunno why this isnt a thing. it was suggested already years ago on their feedback tracker, i cant remember anyone replied to it.... and its not just the tires - everything that is attached to the car should be locked. we got all the tools for it, so maybe lets finally get some use for it.

why is halloween useless if theres a wipe after that event? i dont get it, sorry.

i would love to see a return of the books too. they had this book cover contest, which gave me a bit of hope that theres something in the pipeline.

great update just alone for the skybox! @pyongo bongo i completly disagree and they should move even more firearms to higher loot tiers. why? because right now the meta is: spawn, find a shotgun within a few minutes and start blasting. repeater? skorpion? a sporter?? a derringer???? hahaha... noone needs this cos theres already the shotguns. its the same with mid tier guns like sks or baby ak.... just increase the amount of time we have to use the lower tier weapons before. same with high tier rifles like mosin, savannah, blaze or tundra... those shouldnt exist near the coast, nor should there be convoys. kamenka evac and zelenogorsk is tier 3: baby ak, ak74, m16 and platecarriers can spawn there already.

their github seems updated: https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Central-Economy personally i just download the server files from steam.

i dont want to dictate your playstyle, i only gave some suggestions. yes, if i find a bloodbag and iv start kit of course i craft an iv blood bag and carry it with me, sometimes an iv saline bag on top of it. blood loss is quite common in dayz + the iv saline bag provides some hydration - so thats 8 slots in your inventory. eight. there are enough warnings audible and visble. the infected die from the gas btw... takes maybe 30-40 seconds.

firstly its not the games fault that u were low health. secondly u said u were alive for a week - thats the time to get prepared (here: find bloodbag, find iv start kit, fill bloodbag with your own blood type, craft iv bloodbag.) u deal with that BEFORE u might get hit from a gasstrike, not after.... i thought this is obvious.

sorry, but no. your death could be easily avoided by just being prepared (this is dayz). u said u were alive for a week, so that should be enough time really. its easy to miss the flare at broad daylight, but even if you're in the center - you can just run out it. if your screen shakes you're in the zone. run. if you're low on stamina, pop an epipen and run. once out of the zone, fix yourself up with a blood bag of your own bloodtype. done.

its the months. and a day has 24 hours 😛

hmm i dunno about an app to verify files. just right click on dayz experimental server in your steam library -> properties -> local files -> verify if it still fails for whatever reason - get the files from their github (google BohemiaInteractive DayZ-Central-Economy - links are blocked in this forum, so i dont bother anymore copy/pasting them here.).

yea 10 uses sounds a bit too much. maybe half the usage would be reasonable.

verify your dayz experimental server files via steam. the missionfiles are there (again) since the 3rd of may. i played yesterday on exp and i had no issues to recover bolts from infected or even chamber the crossbow directly while looking at the corpse.
