I agree that the current system can sometimes be unrealistic, but the whole keeping track of item volumes and splitting squares up etc. could be a little complicated to implement. Im not saying impossible, as I really don't know, but it sounds like it could take some work, for what I honestly believe isn't much of a problem. The inventory system is just so much better than the mod, I have a hard time looking at it and going "it still needs some work". After 150 hours of playing, I still look at it and go " This is AMAZING!". But that's me.

Vehicles should fix that. I never had that problem in the mod, cause of them.

This sounds like it might just make the game Quest to find Lockpick, which isn't really want dayz is about. Now I get that right now its kinda quest to the airfield, but im not sure the way to fix it is by simply making it Quest for something else.

I see one problem with this, and that's camping the locked containers. Lets say you find a lockpick and get one gun, but you want more, so you just sit around waiting for the first guy without a gun to come along, and hes screwed and you can just kill him and take his lockpick.

it seems they weren't spawning until the experimental update yesterday

Depends on your playstyle, My hardcore character has been running with the combat knife for several days to use on zeds and it works fine once you get the hang of it. Ill probably switch to the machete once I find one. Its good if you don't mind not having a 1 hit zed kill and want a something that isn't so obvious on your back or that will fit into your backpack easily.

The M4 can be made semi, just double tap T, but then I would test it first, but its always worked for me.

With the SKS, the 7.62x39 ammo is in game now, so it would make sense to add the AK-47/AKM to the game since it wouldn't require adding new ammo.

I can confirm. Its nice that you can sprint with it in your hands, and it only takes up 3 vertical slots in a backpack if you would prefer. But it seems a little weak. Several hits in the head to kill a zombie. But overall not bad. And yeah they are all over industrial buildings.

http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1x2vzq/cant_respawn_you_are_dead_on_joining_any_server/ Rocket is aware of the issue and is looking into it

Yeah I got the problem until I rejoined the server I died on. That seemed to fix it.

I don't believe you can attach a LRS to the SKS, just the PU scope. Originally you could, but it clipped with the model of the SKS so they removed it

Rocket made a comment on the anonymous mask, said it was owned by Fox or something and so probably wont come

Yeah this is important, don't know how many times I totally forgot this and was left wondering for a second why my shots were landing way short

Another tip is if you can find an in game map item to use, you can pull that up and zoom in and there is a box grid, and each box is 100m x 100m. I use this all the time and its pretty helpful.

So one thing I have noticed is that a lot of new players seem to make posts asking the same kind of questions, which is fine, and then you had the hive crash earlier today, so it might be a good idea if down the road when the devs have sort of figured out their update format to have say newest change log and maybe some other news posted in game on the main menu screen. Another possibility would be some kind of MMO-esque or Minecraft-esque launcher that displays news on game launch. This would be most helpful for announcing server downtimes for maintenance as well as crashes like the one today. What do you guys think? I realize that this wouldn't be something they could do quick, as they have other things to do and bugs to fix ect. but maybe way down the road or when beta launches or something. Trying to keep up with the forums, reddit, several twitter accounts is a pain even with the new dev tracker.

On stable you don't drop what's in your hands on logout. Are you saying on experimental you do? Cause that blows, and in my opinion is major problem that needs to be fixed. I liked that you could take 2 weapons but had to use your hands. It kept it balanced.

Now I'm jealous! And the M24 is in the mod and in Arms so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes

Yes to the marlin! Although if they add the M24 the rem 700 would be pointless unless its in some different cartridge

I'm all for gun porn :) By the way, that rem 700 is beautiful

My earlier comment about the difference between 5.56 and .22 was specifically about the 5.56x45 nato and the .22lr. The .22lr was being discussed earlier. Perhaps I should have been clearer. But you could have read the other posts and it would have made sense.

What do you mean? You referring to hollow points? Cause the only regulations regarding ammo for militaries is against expanding rounds. Their no regulation saying they have to reduce velocity or something. But your right, calling weapons "civilian" or "military" is a little pointless, all it does is describe who uses it. The difference between a civilian colt ar-15 and m4 is just the selective fire.

5.56x45 Nato round used in weapons such as the M4 vs the .22lr rim fire cartridge... They are most definitely not the same bullet

What might be interesting to see is a better representation of weapon durability. The M4 despite being fairly reliable, can be finicky if not cleaned regularly, while robust and less complex weapons, like the ak47 and mosin are famous for working despite just about any amount of dirt and grime. This could help offset the better performance seen in military grade weapons like the m4. Make them not only rare, but a pain in the ass to keep in working order. But if you can get a Mosin, you know no matter what, it will work.

This very much true, although a few instances it might be good, mainly with the M16 vs M4 if they include the M16. It actually has a significantly higher muzzle velocity due to the longer barrel. But yeah in most cases its probably pointless
