Hypocrisy. Love it. You know the thoughts and feelings of everyone who has ever played DayZ? 1.2 million people? Wow, didn't know your brain was a super computer. You will never even meet 1.2 million people, so to process the thoughts and feelings of 1.2 million people must sure take a hell of a lot of work. Lets all bow down to our new overlord, Goldeen 9000.

Considering how many times he has said this is an issue with ARMA 2s engine and therefore will never be fixed, you'd think people would start conning onto it by now.

Yes, even if some people have a legit use for it, 9/10 times people just put it up in the loot spots at cherno so as to grief new spawns with no toolbox.

It's peripheral vision, it's been in the game for ages. Whilst i agree the range and angle at which they appear is stupid, i wouldn't call it unrealistic; as if you were moving through the woods in real life and saw movement in the 'corner of your eye' so to speak, you would notice it. Also, i like how you're using this as a platform to bash 'new retarded features' as we get closer to standalone, even though it's been part of the game for atleast 2 months.

FAL for NVGs or rangefinder? You can't be serious? I have found only 5 pairs of NVGs in all my time playing and no rangefinders. Compared to well over 20 FALs, 3 with the nightvision scope. Currently the revolver is harder to find than a FAL, if you find an unlooted crashite 9/10 times it will have at least one FAL, usually more. Literally all the stuff you listed is harder to find than those two weapons, anyone willing to trade any of it for a FAL, NV or not is out their mind or a duper.

So i just spent 40 minutes running back to the north from the coast due to 1.7.2.5, headed to our camp at the mountian directly north of devils castle. I get to the dip inbetween the moutian with devils castle on and ours when i hear a huge explosion. Naturally i about shit my pants because i'm way north and there are only 7 people on the server so what are the odds of that? I immediately know someone has found our tents and taken our satchel charges, i run up the hill and soon found out i am correct; the tents are all gone and so is 3 weeks worth of heli crash site hunting. 2 NVGs, 3 m107s, a spare L85AWS, 2 silenced M4A1, multiple bizons m14s and LMGs all gone. Fair enough i think, fair play; you found our tents and out played us so i can't be mad. But then i hear gunshots the next mountian over, so i decide to sneak round the back of the mountian and check if you're at a neighbouring campsite with my L85. I crawl into position, right click and what do you know? A thermal of a guy lying down. At first i think this is the guy you just killed since the second the gunshot went off a guy died. Only when i consult the trusty binos do i see that infact no; this guy is holding his gun out he's alive. So i zero for 200, aim and shoot, the guy gets up and runs behind some trees, it's only then i see his friends running out of other trees and up into the forest. I stay calm, the trees aren't very thick in that forest so finding you again should be easy. Nope, you all combat logged. A group of people who have just gotten their hands on some of the most powerful loot in the game combat log from a single shot. 1v i don't even know how many, 3? 4? Now i'm not bothered that you took our shit, but for 4 guys who are kitted to the teeth to combat log against one guy who doesn't even have an insta gib weapon is pathetic. I only hope some script kiddie puts it right.

Probably something to do with the fact that aslong as you had 1 bullet left in a mag before 1.7.2.5, relogging would fill the mag to max ammo again? 'Think logic'.

300 meters max range for detonation.

Because it's already been confirmed it's being made on the VS4 engine for ARMA 3? You claim your argument is sound and well thought out but you have to resort to calling people stupid because you're too lazy to get the most up to date information, bravo. You've never heard of an alpha game being release for retail sale? But minecraft is mentioned in the OP... not sure if trolling, or just retarded.

So the new engine and Rockets ability to edit it fixing many of the biggest issues with DayZ almost immediatley means you're paying for the exact same alpha you're currently playing right? Face it, aside from the tent issues which have been fixed and the artfacts most of the things people consider 'bugs' in this mod are just the ARMA 2 engine being used in a way it wasn't meant to, ie duping, zig zag zombies, death ladders, death doors etc etc.

The wiki isnt entirely accurate tbh, for example 1 hour ago i found a crash site with just a m107, 3 mags for it, a akm mag, chemlights heat packs etc. Now i doubt it had been looted as who in their right mind would leave a 1HKO sniper with 3 mags just lying there plus it was in a very remote location you wouldn't bother with unless you were hunting sites. But the other day i found a site with 3 m14s, a Bizon and a FN FAL so... it seems to be random, i guess 6 is the max number of spawn points but the number itself is random.

Loot can spawn inside the chopper, crawling under the tail and using 3rd person allows you to see loot trapped inside or under. Alternatively crawling into the open door and aiming at the floor can sometimes prompt the command for loot.

Depends on how lucky you get, i've found 3 at chopper sites in one session and had periods of 2 weeks where i didn't even see one. Due to the limited number of spawns at heli sites they're not massively rare, it's just a case of finding an unlooted one or one that hasn't gone crazy for FALs which i seem to find at 9/10 sites -.-
