Sticks and Stones and don't break my bones

[Jex 1104]

So I'm guessing I'm not the first one to point out that you usually don't find two of the most abundant materials on the entire planet just inside buildings right? 

 

So I need a stone to build a fire - ummm no I don't. I've built hundreds of fires and never needed to use a stone and what's with sticks! I can't pick up a stick in a forest and make a splint? Also, I can use shitty old rags from a t-shirt to make a splint but not rope? I hope you're not sticking your head up your own ass Dayz.

 

So having bought the game pretty much when it came out I could only recently play it as optimization only just about gives me enough FPS to make it playable. When I first got the game I spawned on the coast, trying to work out my controls when some dick comes up and just starts punching me. Now I'm playing it more seriously with some friends, (other than an encounter with a 12 year who accidentally knocked me out whilst trying to kill zombies in a store but then tried to save me), every single encounter we've had has been KOS. 

 

It's hard to think that on a server with less than 10 people on it you'd just keep running into them all over the place. Because of low server populations, we let out guard down. We don't want to join a busy server right now as we're trying to learn the game and all the items and how they interact. 

 

To give you an idea of how much of a dick people can be, imagine making your way around a building looking for loot. All you have is a backpack and a hard hat. You walk into a corridor and the guy at the other end shits himself and starts blasting away. OK that's fine you're in a corner and you don't know what I'm going to do. But then when I run behind a cupboard for cover, bleeding, and then turn to face away and lay down on the floor, you don't stare at me for 10 seconds then shoot me dead, do you?

 

Maybe you do - personally the best verbal interaction I've had on meeting another player has been from a kid, which you would expect because generally, kids aren't dicks. I would have preferred something a little more than a cowardly shot to the back as I was laying down facing the other way - make me drink disinfectant or something more creative than "hurr duurrr I gonna shoot you hurrrr"

I'm confused on the point of this thread.. I started thinking it was a suggestion, then it turned into a rant thread..

Being at such an early stage of development, there's no reason to assume you won't be able to use your axe on a tree to get wood or forage for rocks in the future.

So why do you need a stone to make a fireplace? What a complete waste of time coding in such a ridiculous concept. What other stupid shit are they going to waste time coding in over things that matter,

is the first point of the thread.

 

The second point is try showing some imagination, pointless i know.

You put stones around a fire to reflect heat and to stop the fire spreading to the grass.
