Dragunov svd for it. With all the ammo you could ask for.

You assume much.

ITT: Everyone must play Dayz the way OP wants.

Legit? I killed a sniper on Dobry and they had this shit. I put the soldier clothes on and it reset my ammo and all of my kill counts. Pretty lame. Legit Gear?

Waiting for the server to drop.

Whatever server this is. I hope honest players flood the bitch quickly. I want to be around when this goes down but I am terrified of hacker attacks.

The medics are a great example! Along with these guys: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46418-citizens-of-post-apocalyptic-chernarus-if-you-are-seeking-peace-in-these-dark-times-come-to-the-last-church-of-electro-this-sunday/page__hl__sunday ^ That's awesome. Barring hacker attacks early on, I plan to nearby when this happens. With my own agenda, of course.

So, it seems the Dayz community has, for the most part, found an answer to the age old question "Why am I here?" for their in-game avatars. Be it to find loot, make friends, or most popularly, buff your kill countz. However, the community is currently struggling with the question "What is my purpose?" This is probably due to modern gaming being dominated by games that set overt and explicit challenges in front of the player. Even in the most open ended of today's AAA titles such as The Elder Scrolls series, Grand Theft Auto and all of it's clones, and Mass Effect the objectives within the sandbox world to either get better stuff or advance one's story is set plainly before the player. Today's gamer's are accustomed to having their character strengthened, loots improved, story advanced, and ego stroked by accomplishing tasks that may not necessarily be easy, but are easily discerned. In Dayz, you answer "What is my purpose?". It can be as simple as looting or hunting players or as complex as building a faction to control and enforce peaceful trade within a safe zone on a specific server. Personally, I like to get together with my buddies and make a mission out of marking clans or players for death. This is an effort in and out of the game. Search the forums for a reason to kill them and then search for information on how to find them and best execute. Find server numbers, play times, locations, make contacts, and follow leads. It's exciting and provides me with purpose beyond inflating my kill count. Don't just stop at my suggestions. Ask yourself "What is my purpose?". Consider your resources such as skill, gear, and allies. A lone wolf may want to play batman for Berezino or play a lone hunter who patrols a large section of forest to avoid humanity and hunt anything that moves within his borders. Your purpose can change. It can change often. It can be a secret which you hide from other players through deceit or it can be a badge of honor which you marshal with pride. I will admit, I want to play a killer and I have very near to zero trust for anyone who I don't know personally. I love the game in it's current state and if no one ever rises up to make a large faction of righteous citizens the it will be no skin off my back. Though, if you find yourself saying "there's no end game to Dayz" or "what is left to do but camp nubz?" then I attest that you simply lack imagination and do not realize the potential of the tools already at our disposal. Finally. If you are having problems surviving the bandits and the coast campers and the zombies and the (insert threat here) then maybe the problem isn't the game or the community. Maybe the problem is you. Maybe your purpose is to die? Sheep. Discuss! List your purpose or maybe a bright idea for someone else!

Is there a way to take beans from a post?

No one goes to green mountain. There's a lot in this game. You don't need to go there.

It's a trap. They have people in place at the AF. Bet. At least that's what I would do.

Would totally help if I trusted people in this game.

It is a bug that is caused by server load and going a while without a reset. It's becoming more known/common as the community grows. It can be reduced if you approach loot spots slowly from a distance or sit and watch them from afar for a little. This is, of course, a pretty lame way to fix it. I don't do it, but you can.

I find that, far more often than the probability tables advertise, entire towns will be completely without loot drops. No empty cans, no soda, no beans, nothing. I hit Stary and the surrounding deer stands probably 2-6 times a day. At least 1/3 times the supermarket, house, tents, and deer stands will just be bone dry. This has to be a glitch. It didn't used to happen when I moved a lot more slowly. Now that I am more familiar with the game and have silenced weapons I can afford to move a lot faster. I feel like maybe the loots don't spawn when you are right on top of them, so if you move too quickly into the area they won't spawn at all sometimes. I have tested this and find that moving in slowly does yield loot more often. That totally puts me at a disadvantage though. QQ. Shit's lame.
