What? You could try logging in and playing, loot is spawning all over the place where it hasn't spawned for a while. In some cases it's spawning in places it's never spawned before. This is no hoax.

Don't the servers get all laggy and stuff if they're up too long? This seems to be my experience. Hopefully they'll fix that too.

I just had a quick go, it's much better now. I only found one log cabin that spawned anything but it's an improvement, it's also worth noting those blue trailer van things spawn loot around/under them now, and the green houses with the porch spawn loot upstairs again (including in the rooms).

It's about time they started fixing this, I'm not surprised they kept it quiet considering.

Oh dear, lol.

Yeah, they can be pretty bad when the prototype respawn system is behaving badly. The other night a friend and I couldn't even log out because every time we killed a zombie that followed us in to the woods it would respawn on top of us before we could. There is a very great deal Dean does not know about this game, honestly.

In fairness the zombies are complete shit, I hope they're fixed soon because they're clearly not working right. I am aware that they are essentially placeholder but they have gotten worse and worse, so I don't think it's nice to just brush off negative feedback as the poster being retarded. After all, we are here to provide feedback.

It's surprisingly easy to kill well geared players with nothing but your fists. A friend and I once got killed at the office/school in Berezino and I respawned right near it, I decided to run in and Mike Tyson them because I had nothing to lose and I ended up taking out 3/4 of them before I got my legs broken with a Mosin shot and then executed.

I doubt it will be as simple as the mod, according to Rocket's livestreams and such they have brought in an entire hunting simulator dev team to work on animal AI and other stuff.

Not even close.

I'd love both of these systems. I have assumed for a long time that some form of stamina will be implemented, but item weight would also be lovely.

This is basically what I wanted to say after reading this thread. If your friend doesn't want to play it, he doesn't want to play it. Try some other friend, or make new ones online who are also looking for people to play it with.

I strongly disagree. Plenty of people, myself included, enjoyed playing at night in the mod because there was a lot of stuff to play with, not just NVGs (which people did often use purely as a crutch) but also flares and functional flashlights. Currently we get one useful flashlight that can't be used with a weapon. As it stands right now the game almost encourages players to just say "fuck it" and increase their gamma, because there is nothing special about playing at night other than it being dark. I don't even care to consider it until, at the very least, weapon flashlights get a hotkey. "If you build it they will come", I argue that if we actually had features that made playing at night remotely interesting people would do it. I played on plenty of night servers in the mod, I haven't even seen a single one in my reasonable ping-zone yet because they all restart every two hours when it's light.

While I like the idea of accelerated time, and while I hate server hopping, until night time is actually fixed I'm just going to pretend my character slept and hop to daytime servers when it goes dark. In the current stage of development there are no flares and glow sticks, weapon flashlights have no hotkey, and a lot of people just increase their gamma so you're basically being a masochist and gimping yourself if you don't jump on the bandwagon. I used to love night time play in the mod, I loved going from room to room flicking on my Remington 870 flashlight only when absolutely necessary and hoping people didn't get a solid fix on my location. To do this in standalone I either have to use the standard flashlight or keep manually turning my weapon flashlight on and off in the inventory, only to be ganked by some pleb with maximum gamma on. I don't even believe as many people did the gamma trick in the mod, purely because there was more 'stuff' to play with at night as standard.

Some people already said what immediately came to mind for me, so I'll throw this on the pile: Hunger Games total conversion.

Yeah bit odd that isn't it, like how a freshspawn-clothed character has a Mosin with pristine/worn LRS, PU scope, compensator, a ton of ammo, a 1911 with a mythical mag, and a makeshift backpack. Funny also that your mate, with almost the same clothes, also had a 1911 with mythical mag and a makeshift backpack. Bit fishy that.

I'm zipping up my flameproof suit as I type this because I'm about to take fire from all angles, but it's like I always say: A lot of people who use weed can't seem to shut up about it, I am not at all surprised to see a DayZ weed suggestion.

We lobby the devs to hurry up fixing the loot. :D

Dear god no.

Rocket said in one of his live streams that he would love to implement pushing open doors when physics is in. I would just about kill for this.

My thoughts exactly.

I understand the complaint that it might make it more difficult to pick up more hard-to-reach items, but wouldn't a better solution for that be fixing the loot?

I guarantee you will aim better with the sights than the dot, my friend. The dot doesn't even line up with where your bullets hit. :)

It pleases me to see most of the community openly mocking the OP and people like him. Let's all point and laugh when he gets shot by a medic.

I can't wait. Inb4 some hip-shooting pleb decides to act like they're smarter than we are because they will draw a dot on their screen instead, half of the reason I want this gone is because a lot of people in this game don't seem to be able to hit their target.
