I know hence I said SA version, basically SA with 2017 esque loot spawing

2017 SA version.

2 had payday masks though. that is my defense ;)

Kind of also hoping that they seriously clamp down on join = kick servers on the public hive.

I killed 6 bandits alone with a CR527 not long ago. I picked one off the roof [inside turret thingy] of Gorka police station from the western side of the town then got a 2nd as he came up to take what he could from the body [should've crouched] then ran away west out of the town after realising there was at least 2 other guys running at street level towards where I fired from, I set a trap on the dirt road west of Gorka that winds down into black forest and about 5 minutes later 4 of them came running in a cluster along the dirt track, from the treeline about 100 meters away I killed 3 and got the 4th as he ran downhill away from the road. Shame none of them had any good weapons just Mosins, SKS, Sporters etc.

If anything the PM should be spawning in police stations and the MP5 should be the rare one.

Gonna throw a few suggestions into the mix, apologies if they've been suggested before. [1] SKS-M I don't know much about it, it's a Chinese jobbie done on some of their SKS', modified to use AKM mags. Given that we already have an SKS it's not a huge priority. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/374/419877769eiaxvlph.jpg [2] CZ542 A bolt action .22 rifle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ_452 [3] PSM Pistol The ammunition is a problem, similar size to .22 [in game] but a very different round. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSM_pistol

Same boat, though mine stopped playing because poor optimisation and their absolute turbo potato powered PCs

Most weapons in Dayz one shot to the chest regardless of health, bear in mind the assault vest isn't ballistic its just webbing for carrying ammo etc.

Austria use blackhawks, the AUG is Austrian, go figure. I'm not opposed to 'unrealistic' weapons being in game as long as they're unicorn rare.

A headshot with an axe on an unarmoured head is fatal, Gunshots can be very meh, I got shot at by 3 guys, 1 with an AKM and 2 with Mosins or CR527s or something at pretty close range, I ran away from them and my hunting backpack 'absorbed' at least 3 rounds, I lost a little health but no blood/bleeding and no KO. Ended up killing two and wounding the third with just a double barrel, Putting myself in their shoes I can see how annoying that would have been. They were terrible shots though.

Not a snow zone but rather seasonal weather, as for the radiation, not radiation but a small area [maybe a border post with military spawns in the corner of the map] with some area denial gas like VX present there

Alpha = Add Beta = Polish

Zombie numbers and improvements will come with server performance.

I can't help myself in taking those rare lucky finds [mp5 mags etc] with me regardless of what I'm doing, but I've yet to be killed playing like this so it's not a problem yet.

You have found a black dry bag? confirmed?

I gave up the usual M4/AK101 hunting recently in favour of playing the survival part of the game, no Canned food bar a max of 2 when I spawn then I scurry off to survive in the wilderness [of which more and more is being claimed by new villages etc.]

My blue one? I'm wearing a blue balaclava with an almost matching Zimiovka [not how you spell it] hat atm ;) Looking at the Dry bag on Experimental I'm hoping there is a black variant, also really don't see why one couldn't spray paint a taloon pack or even a leather sack [deer pelt one] black/green

Needless Kos is just getting old and annoying [it always was actually], fair enough guys with hours worth of loot KoSing for safety after spotting someone near them out West or in a military base etc, but the constant stream of Persians freshspawns trying to kill me with hammers, axes, wrenches, fists etc when I'm getting starting gear together is just annoying. I must say though, I'm getting much better at meleeing players, I've 1 shotted the last 4 guys who tried to kill me with their scrub gear.

Blue or pink balaclava, either worn or carried [when camo is needed]

Not sure if it was the case with vanilla but with ACE II mod you could penetrate the sides of M113s and other light armoured vehicles with 50 cals and kill those inside, if modders could do it to Arma 2 2 I don't see how it couldn't be done with DayZ

I gave up on that long ago, such a tedious reporting process..

People use money to buy food, water etc. tell me, what use is money to people who survive off the land, and from looting.

New gaskmasks, yes preferably added with a functional use for them, halloween masks, no.

Kind of on topic with NPCs, I think Rust style airdrops [and the tense search for the DZ] would be pretty cool though why airdrops are/would be being made I just don't know.
