I'll be honest, if this went through, most people would /maybe/ put only marks down with no labels and remember what's what. But most people will continue to just right things down on pen and paper or maybe a notepad .txt file. The map marking would only be really good if you could share it with other players in-game perhaps.

Put some time into finding one single good server. Some admins actually advertise their server on the forums. But because all the servers are run by private people instead of the DayZ staff or anything, you will run into this kind of thing. If somebody is kicking you repeatedly, report them. If a server is locked, report them. If you've got bad FPS, tell the admin so they can force a restart (which can fix some things like that). At the end of the day, forum admins are players too that want to care for their particular server, scare off hackers, and ensure that the server is well-run.

Take it away, it serves no purpose other than using it for server hopping and preventing newer players from accessing valuable loot areas.

Don't worry, Rocket has said that you'll be able to make underground lairs to store things, farm things, etc. Not that they'd be safe from zombies or other players. To paraphrase Rocket from a recent interview: "How do you keep people from attacking underground locations? I don't, the players do."

For your last question, I know he was talking about a release of the ALPHA sometime in like October or November? Don't quote me on that. But I do know he definitely wants it out before December.

Continue playing, surviving. Look for better gear, assist friendlies, play medic, play trader... Heck, my friends and I have been living out of our packs and been hunting for snipers and bandits.

Can't tell if trolling or just stupid.

You've got terrible FPS because on low settings, most everything is run on the CPU. Turn your settings up. I've got 5k series as well and I get lower FPS on low than I do at high and very high.

The post by Griff is in the middle of the 1.7.2.5 rolling update thread, can't exactly sticky that. And are you spawning on the beach every time you log in or is it because you're changing servers frequently because that was added as a feature to stop server hopping AFAIK.

I would rather they fix the artifacting bug to determine what causes it rather than just dodging around it. As for updates and replies from the Dev Team, Griff posted this in the 1.7.2.5 Rolling Update Thread:

Derp.

Not that I've noticed, they're moving slower than they were before, so it's all good to me.

19 days since an update. As for 'game breaking' bug, what have you encountered? Have you reported it? Yes, there's artifacting, but you can still play the game. Tents and vehicles don't save contents after server restart and some vehicles disappear as well, but you can still play. Annoying bugs? Absolutely. 'Game breaking'? Definitely not. Again, if you have run into a real game-breaking bug, please tell us about it so we can join in testing it and make a detailed bug report.

M24 and DMR do the same damage. With the DMR you get semi-auto, with the M24 you get accuracy but bolt action. DMR has the NVG usability so it tends to win out.

Oh, wasn't an arguement or anything, just joining in and agreeing. :P
