A game where the only food source left on the planet is canned sardines. Now that's an apocalypse simulation.

Yeah I used Six Launcher for longer than any of the other browsers actually, and first really started noticing the issue in that. The same thing happens with DayZ Commander and the in-game browser as well. Not really sure what's up at this point. It's more of an annoyance than game breaking though.

If I get tagged and have to start a new character I hit a couple farm houses and deer stands on my way north east and try to snatch a CZ/Makarov/AKM/AK74 and smash and grab real quick in Berezino. Hitting the hospital, both supermarkets, and military tents and making your way west from there is a very easy to do and solid approach. There are better, more concise, approaches... but this works 90% of the time. If you're playing alone chances are the bloodbags aren't worth it. But the morphine is the must have. You break your leg on EVERYTHING in this game. I can almost guarantee that by the end of a Berezino run you will have at least 1 morphine, assuming you don't get shot playing smash and grab. Cherno is the fun approach. It's ultimately the high risk high reward city. Takes considerable more skill and luck to get in and out though.

This is basically what I was going to say. Just because there is a direct comm. channel, and everyone has their VOIP enabled, doesn't mean the server does. But, if it's a server you regularly voip on, then I honestly have no idea. On a side note, does anyone know why my in-game voip doesn't come through? I use mumble, TS, vent, etc.. fine while I play it with friends but if I try to direct comm people around me just say static is coming through. Is it possibly a digital patch setting regarding the USB headset I'm using? I'm not aware if there are/is a routing matrix(s) or something one can go through to troubleshoot. P.S. If any of you are browsing for a new headset, avoid the Logitech G35. I've had it for like 3 years now and can honestly say it's junk and you can get better for less.

Let's limit what the bandit can pick up off the body that way he has to kill twice as many people for a chance at getting what he wants. Yeah, brilliant idea.

Balancing is out of place here. I don't want an AS50 to be comparable to a CZ550... because in real life it isn't. An AS50 would blow you in half if it hit you. My only "change" to an AS50 in this game would be that when it hits an extremity it should instantly turn it into red mist and meat chunks. That and it should be able to hit people through thin walls. Ghillie suits do need a downside I think, one relating to temperature is the only one that makes sense to me though. Low temp in this game causes problems, so should high temp. I've worn a ghillie before, it's like jumping into a haystack in 90 degree weather. It get's stuffy almost instantly. Prolonged exposure during the day in one should give a "heatstroke-esque" condition. But then again it could be argued that you stay out of the sun and don't wear your ghillie in a desert. So like I said, I could care less about "balance, OP/UP" in DayZ. I want more realistic drawbacks to real life tactics, but only minor tweaks of designs already in place. I do agree with your change to NVG's to some degree. Mostly because I find them incredibly annoying and if you play with a squad and don't have at least one set on a spotter, you're doing it wrong. Which makes me sad... The tree/bush bit is also a bit of a non-issue on veteran/expert servers that do not allow 3DP. You have to kind of work around a branch or something to get a usable FOV and it's limited at best.

Between those two, the M24. Mainly for minor reasons previously mentioned. But that's if I even pick one of those guns up, which is rare. I aim to grab an SVD almost every time.

This, for me. This is also the main reason I never pick up the DMR/M14.. Even if I REALLY want a sniper, nope. But that glitch/bug what have you only occurs when I have a G17 or 1911. The revolver, makarov, and M9 work as intended regardless of primary.

I can usually spot players before they spot me and keep my eye on them as I get out of dodge quickly. What get's me every damn time though is i get just a little to close to a man-eating bush or rock and get gibbed. I'll let it slide though, being in alpha. Sometimes I also get a bit carried away and think that maybe THIS TIME, JUST ONE TIME, I can crawl through a doorway without something fuckin' up. Then... I am proven wrong...
