Yes, untill they're working properly, they shouldn't be in-game. P.S. Vehicle beats Barbed Wire at the potential cost of tires. not sure why Chernaurus has different rules.

Just got DayZ about... oh, four days ago? a week maybe? I started off without a clue. Do you know how far I got? I snagged a Lee Enfield, a Revolver, a few clips for each, knife, hatchet, watch, three cans of food and a bunch of pepsi. I died to sniper fire in Cherno with actual weaponry and supplies. on my first life. After I died, I jumped servers and tried again (people don't come back from the dead, right? err- forget I said that.) I spawned to find, lo and behold, there's a warehouse on the coast here. looted it and eventually wound up discovering that hatchets are weapons too. (saw someone running around with an axe I recognized.) I learned how to play the hard way, and I felt like the world was a cold, hard place. (I used some tutorial videos to figure out the backpack/inventory after my fifth death though, shame on me.) don't need anyone to baby me and spoon feed this game to me. It's supposed to be hard, it's supposed to be scary. If you want to start off holding a gun, go play an FPS, ignore this simulator. My only regret is I didn't start with some kind of randomized loot so bandits won't be wasting bullets on my sorry ass as I run into Elektro. something, anything, more than just a flashlight, bandaid and painkillers.

It didn't have a map, so you got lost? That's kinda funny. So that's how maps worked. I always thought those marks were just admins being wonky or some kind of odd glitch with Hive giving me someone else's map. Now that I know what they are, I can make heads or tails of 'em. thanks for the info. I might just mark landmarks on the map every now and then, just to be helpful. "lighthouse" "Radio Tower" maybe even those flimsy stand things I stumble upon in the woods.
