I fondly remember Bieber being forced to release a single or something to stop this, LOL.

Any that is ever a nuisance to the casual player gets removed, didn't you know?

Aside from the occasional book, pretty much every bit of loot you'll find is useful in someway, and most of the time useful for everyone. Where are the rotten fruits, flat soda's, expired cans of food, general trash? Even the mod has "trash" which equated to tin cans. I'm assuming it's done like this to keep server performance in mind, but I find it hard to believe that everything you find would be useful, no matter what backstory you out behind it. Thoughts?

DayZ should only ever be hardcore mode.the game wasn't meant to cater to the casual gamer too. Keyword, "wasn't" A lot has changed in the last year.

Theres a loot vacuum where you can choose what loot across the map you want.

Good point!

Right now, we just have 1 thread. It would be nice to have our own section, that way we can have rep pages too so people know we're trust worthy. I know some people think the whole point of the game is to have that unsure feeling, but it would be nice to have since we already have a pinned thread.

I'm really glad vehicles will need to be repaired too. People would cover all of the spawn points with a v3s in about 10 minutes.

Any day now. Waiting on exp stress tests to finish.

It's not, it just seems like when most of the community cries, the loot magically spawns in massive amounts again.

I think the tears of the "this is stupid, loot is broken, guns are nowhere, I quit" players will far outweigh the ones you mention.

Counting the minutes! Hopefully today.

I've never been a fan of low time decay. I go on vacation for 2 weeks at a time, so my stash will be long gone. I understand it's to clean up the server, but it's just too low.

I really, really hope they fixed it for good this update. 95% of this game to me is looting and stashing that loot. I'm really looking forward to the barrel due to it's size, it looks like it will be a lot easier to hide than a tent would be. I'm counting the days until stable so I can start looting and storing! Question, I see backpack persistence is only a few days while a barrels is 45, does that mean if the backpack is IN the barrel, the few day rule still applies? Or is it meant for packs stashed under trees? Thanks!

I stopped playing .57 when I got fully geared in 15 minutes.

That's how I play too. Full on hoarder.

I feel like an idiot now. LOL. Completely missed that, it's late. Sorry!

I'm not even going to the loot bombs that are the guard shacks, but I'm getting fully kitted within 30 minutes. Has this been addressed for .58, or is this even considered an issue? Thanks.

Ah, thanks man. I'm with ya, man. I prefer the hardcore aspect. I want those few rounds of .22 to be precious, and food be scarce.

Please excuse me if this has been asked before, which I assume it has, but I cannot seem to find an estimated time table on the release of the server files. The only relevant posts I've found in search is THAT they'll be released, just not when. Not looking for an exact date, just something like Q4 2015, etc.

Most of us are plum tired of waiting at this point, and there are many Arma 3 mods out there that offer this feature that are thinning out the community. DayZ will always reign supreme, but most of us aren't getting any younger and don't have 2-5 years of development to wait for this type of thing. Base building, or barricading, is the corner stone of the survival genre. We want to take over area's, fortify and defend them against the living and the dead. I realize good things can't be rushed, but it needs to be moved up in the priority list. Vehicles are awesome, but I'm sure if you took a poll, basebuilding would probably take priority. We want to stash our items, not in a bugged/giant tent, and raid bases. We want to create checkpoints. Please, let's atleast make some sort of announcement on this. I've had 2 children since DayZ SA was released, TWO!....and Alpha is still in the far future.

You said that we have to wait for the "finished product" DayZ will NEVER be finished, it will be in continuous development. What can't you grasp about that?

Games rarely ever release as "finished". DayZ will never be finished, if they ever announced it as such, they'd be responsible for any issues. All game now hide behind the Alpha/Beta labels, unless you're Rockstar. What you see as complaining, they may see as feedback. Just because you don't agree with how someone states an opinion, doesn't mean it's invalid or should be kept to themselves.

They're important, but setting up a camp is probably the most important aspect of survival. We're not looking to build sniper towers, or the cinder monstrosities that you see in Epoch, just something simple. At this point, I'd honestly be happy with being able to dig a hole (think H1Z1's stash), and drop some items in it.
