I've found them in there for the past couple of patches.

This is not true, they spawn in train stations as well. Just found one on .53 in pristine condition in Svetlo.

My suggestion would be to take a brea- Oh, okay. Well alright then. There's nothing wrong with being unhappy with the performance or feature set of an in development product as an end user. Its the side of video games most gamers don't get to see, and there's a reason. Besides, there are plenty of cool games out there right now to play. DayZ will be here when you get back, and in better shape as well. :) Edit: Also I'd like to clarify what Brian is talking about. When he says nothing of lasting measure could be done until closer to release, he means optimization. Basically optimizing is where you go through and streamline all the rendering and coding to be as low impact as possible while still achieving the desired effect. This means that the content needs to be generally solidified and unlikely to change, as changing will generally require re-optimizing that portion. They could in theory optimize the game with each patch, but that would add HUGE amounts of time onto the development of each patch and stretch development potentially by years. When they are constantly changing, adding, rewriting, and rebuilding parts of the game it would be an exercise in futility to spend countless hours to streamline those parts only to be redone or completely broken by a different system the next day. Software development is pretty ugly.

The point of an open world sandbox is to do what you like. While I find scraping at the ground in the woods planting gardens interesting someone else might not, that's the beauty of games like DayZ.

Because you can do whatever you want in DayZ. Maybe try joining an RP community if you don't like the open gameplay.

I only recently visited the coast for the first time in ages to find some netting. Would not recommend.

If the world goes to shit and people are running around trying to kill eachother you can bet your ass I'll be trying to conceal myself as best as possible.

Found my first one this morning. Got crazy lucky with a crapload of burlap and wound up with this beautiful setup.

I tend to play with green civilian gear, but recently ran across a bunch of burlap sacks and couldn't help trying it out. The best camo IMO has always been TTSKO, it just fits so well into the foliage and colours of Chernarus. Now paired with green painted ghillie it seems to blend in even better.

Soviet snipers did just fine with the PU scope on their specialized Mosins.

Oh no, server hopping on a fun and temporary experimental build. What ever will we do. The horror.

I found one on a shelf in the Police Station at Komarovo. My AKS74u fits in my high cap vest but the shorty shotgun doesn't, so I'd be more inclined to use the regular pump action as it holds more shells for zombie killing fun.

Excellent stuff, loving the progress!

That's actually not what I said, and if you'd read my comments and the exchange I was having with the person you'd get the context and realize I wasn't defending one hit damage. I was talking about their ability to wreck stuff in general. They aren't under constant adrenaline rushes. They wander around and are quite docile until you piss them off. The AI right now is very basic as well, so its hard to judge what their behavior will be like, but the general consensus for living "zeds" is rage virus. Heightened aggression and loss of higher cognitive function. When they see you they want to kill you, animalistic, baser instincts type deal. Fight or flight. Body kicking into overdrive.

Yeah, and the general consensus of infected zeds is that is a rage virus of sorts. Adrenaline and rage do a lot to the human body, its not the same as you standing there and punching something.
