I still wish gathering wood from the woodpiles in towns was an option. I mean come on, its all piled up and just sitting there...

would be nice, though. I don't mind seeing a single XXXX connected, XXXX was killed, or XXXX disconnected, but the double connection messages and the XXXX uses modified data files X, X, X and X is annoying.

I have an asus g72 laptop, usually run on high with some stuff tweaked to my liking :-) unless the server is lagging, then it doesn't matter what you play on :-/ specs: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G72Gx/#specifications

So, I admittedly don't scavenge around for scrap metal in industrial sites, but it seems like acquiring the necessary amount of scrap metal would be difficult, as I've only seen about 2 pieces, where as I've seen countless jerry cans, tires and wind screens. My idea is that with a toolbox, you could take a certain number of empty tin cans, and turn them into one scrap metal. Of course, it would have to be something like 10 tin cans(or another number that doesn't cause too much imbalance), but then they could also be stackable in groups of 5 or so maybe. Thoughts?

yes, putting the scrap together and welding i feel would fall under the repair category or something. no one else has thoughts as to doing this, instead of just complaining about 'garbage loot'?

I think the makarov is just fine as a starter. It gives me a reason to do a quick run on one of the coastal towns for a better weapon, before heading north

promise im not a bandit, I was just gonna leave em somewhere and tell him on pm what server/location and peace out.. I found one of those 20/10 cans and took too much XD turns out I use my mp5sd more

This sounds great! I'd be in, but I am rarely on at the same time, though when I play, its for a while. The only other thing is I've really started liking vet servers, no 3rd, no ch, ect..

I have a couple mags I could spare if you wanted to meet up. (or trade for something)

I've found (not sure what difficulty its on) to help you start judging distances, if while scoped you mousewheel one 'click' it will give you the action hand and bring up options, but it will also tell you the range of the thing you are pointing at. So if you wanted to find generic ranges, go somewhere, and stand what you think is X meters away from a building, then check, repeat as necessary.

If I could trust people, I would love to trade :) I'm actually in need of some mp5sd rounds

One option, if your set on close range, find an assault rifle, and when you head into close quarters, hit 'f' to switch to burst or even full auto, then when further away, switch back to semi. That way, if you happen upon someone else in close quarters, one click, one mag. :D

I've had decent luck with a couple dallas servers, but I pretty much stay up north

If you want to survive killing others, you need distance. The Lee Enfield might be good so long as your not around any zombies, or the cz550. Even the winchester would be good, depending on your aim. Stand back at least 100m with these, and you should be golden :) happy hunting

I like to call em dinner bells :)

I have actually passed up an AKM at an airfield to keep my Winchester

speaking of the wood situation.. I see an axe in a stump and walls of wood next to buildings, as well as firewood shacks in lots of towns... why are the piles of wood taking up loot spawns elsewhere, when we should be able to literally fill a truck with it at one of these spots?

I've been using the winny ever since the patch, and its still my preferred main. Saying this, though, it spends most of its time on my back, and I use my 1911 for everything ive currently got 15 or so slots of winny ammo, though i also have a 24 slot bag

I chose number 2, but it would be awesome if, maybe once we go to beta, that something like option one was made available for us alpa testers! :)
