Stuff disappears from tents all the time due to looting and server restarts. And it has been pointed out every time you get a mil grade weapon out of the tent you have to find a new one or you will run out of guns. Finding good weapons is high risk and takes time, so this is your impact of dying.

Zombie got me down to 4k blood today. I swear there is a type of zed that runs up to you *silently* and starts chewing on you. I only learnt of the attack when my screen started flashing.

1) The average survival time currently stands at 49 minutes (this does not include quick respawns). Some special forces elites. 2) It's not possible in this game to hit a target at 600m with a sniper rifle w/o doing some research on zeroing/mildots. Lot's of people have these tables printed out. And this must be customized for each FOV and resolution. If you get killed from 1km away please appreciate the skill it took to get the kill. 3) if you watch youtube videos or play a lot you will see that most ppl are terrible shots and have nonexisting situational awareness, stand in the open too long, etc. The 49 min surival time can only be explained by that most ppl they encounter suck as badly. 4) No to artificial nerfing of you aiming/skills, then artificial leveling up. rocket says NO to any kind of xp system. 5) You do get better as you play mjore but not through some artificial leveling system, but through actual interaction with the world. As far a survival/horror theme, I agree that horror element is lacking but survival is fine in a Battle Royale kind of way. Hell, actually today my 10 day veteran nearly got stuck in the wildrness w/o antibiotics and heat pack (guess they are not useless inv trash afterall!) as my temp dropped to 29c in the morning rain and I had to make a quick fire next to a road hoping I won't get capped while my temp slowly rose.

+1 for Journals

He's been referencing xcom by name in several interviews, love how he sticks to emergent gameplay theme, no compromises here! The only thing is - 200 ppl per server is too much for the current map, even the northern woods will be crowded.

I use LE railgun until I find M14EP1 (AIM) which IMHO with 8K in damage, better sights, semi-auto fire and less loud is better balanced. (and it shares the same ammo with DMR)

Use different engine if it has: 1) Milsim grade weapon/ballistics modeling - (both physics and 3d models) and variety. 2) >225 sq.km map with no sector loading. 3) Separate control over weapon movement (with aiming deadzone), head movement and body movement. 4) Perfect TrackIR support. 5) Arma level editor and scripting. Well, I thought so, we do not need another L4D/COD with z0mbies111 The beautiy of the game is in the underlying arma engine.

It's hard to find one with 3dp:off with good ping, at least from where I'm in Russia. And if you have it off while playing on a noob 3dp cheat mode server, you just put yourself at a disadvantage against 3dp cheaters.

3rd-person is basically cheat mode. There is no point in hiding when someone can just peak through the window above while lying prone unmoving. I play on 3dp:OFF servers (dayz commander is great!) but when sorted by ping < 150 they are very few of them.

I've been using it for two days (and yes I knew of l-alt ;) ). It made me love first person, the immersion, smootheness and presision of control given by trackir is incredible.

I've been enjoying the mos greatly for the last two weeks. But it should be renamed to "Battle Royale" and that would be the most accurate description. All we need now is random events to flush out campers :)

I think both the world and the number of players is just al right. The sandbox/mod allows survivors to create the kind of rpg experience they want. Wanna roleplay Mogadishu /Sarajevo? Welcome to the two big cities. Or roleplay a lone wolf survivor then head north, but still have to watch you back as encounters in the wilderness still happen.

I can gut animals, but it takes some dancing around them and interacting with various menu options before the "loot" icon appears. Also agree with z re-spawn being too fast and immersion breaking. Z aggro seems reasonable.

Wilderness, in shock, inventory *completely* empty :(
