Finally found loaded magazines and an ACOG. The ACOG is badly damaged so the glass is cracked but is the gun's accuracy affected? Is it more inaccurate or just a cosmetic feature?
I think the average for servers is 4 hours.

lol, oh really? Okay, that's short.
Is there any sort of indication, either in game or out, of when a server is going to restart?
I've found that the scopes aren't sighted correctly to begin with. Either that or the horrific wind system in the game is being applied. Not sure.
I assumed that, but how often do servers restart?? I realize it probably depends on the server, but I have no idea. Days? Weeks?
Or maybe in the short-term, if you're about to go into a city, leave a bunch of stuff hidden in the woods before you go looting, in case you're jumped.
Same, I raided the northwest airfield after a server restart, only saw one zombie, and got a bunch of ammo.Oh man I found the motherload and now my gameplay changes for the worst confirmed because no one is getting my loot.
Managed to find 2 double clips 30/30 both full and an ammo case with 300 rounds of 5.56mm. Found like 4 magazines full of .45 ammo for pistol as well so I am armed to the teeth
So much ammo now.

I won this! You fuckers cheat!
Earlier today I was running through the tents in Balota when I hear over direct com to stop and put my hands up. I had an axe, and little else, so I wasn't too worried about dying. I began to prepare for my mad rush out the tent, when I realized that it was two survivors holding someone else up (they hadn't seen me yet).
They handcuffed the poor guy, took his gear, and then shot him in the head. From my vantage point, they couldn't see me. The two survivors headed west, and I got the crazy idea that I was going to start following them. I tried my best not to be seen, dodging in and between buildings. There was no communication between the two, so I assumed they were talking via team speak or mumble.
I made it through Komarovo without being spotted, and they pressed westward toward Kamenka. I held near the tree line this time, still following the two, waiting as they looted through buildings. As soon as they turned north towards Pavlovo, it decided I was going to make a guess and assume they were going to be heading towards the military base north of Kamenka. I put away my axe and made a mad dash for the installation, taking up residence in a rocky outcrop near a series of military barracks.
I then waited.
And waited.
And waited some more.
Finally, I spotted movement in the base. The two survivors were making their way into the base, sprinting like madmen. They both quickly moved through one set of barracks, and then when they got near the barracks I was positioned by, I slowly moved my way down the outcrop.
Both of them ran into the barracks, eager for whatever items may be inside.
With them essentially blind to me now, I positioned myself near the door with my axe at the ready. After what seemed like forever (I was slightly worried they may have server hopped at this point), I hear two foot steps dashing towards me. The two survivors make a mad dash out of the barracks heading for the last barracks at the base, and as soon as the first one exposed himself, I swung my axe into his back, knocking him unconscious. His friend begins panicking, trying to aim at me with his m4 at this point, but I quickly ran up to him and smacked him as well before he could fire (note to everyone, at point blank range, don't bother trying to aim, hip fire that shit), killing him instantly.
I quickly tried to loot my spoils (got the m4 off of one of them) before the two bodies disappeared. Unfortunately all I got for my troubles was the gun.
This is why I love Day Z.
Such a shame that the current loot and spawn system kind of prevents these sorts of encounters from happening.
I salute you.
You probably shouldn't salute me. I would've chased after them regardless of whether or not they killed that person in the hold up lol.
Is Podeba Dam still there? I know that the northern most part of the map was changed some for the standalone, but I can't seem to find Podeba Dam on the new map. I haven't gotten up to the North East yet, but it isn't visible on the DayZDB map. Just wondering.
No, its not. It's been replaced.
So an IRL friend of mine just got the game, but both the 'friends' column and 'friends' tab aren't showing anything for the server he's on.
We also aren't sure how to even get the server information for the server you're currently playing on. I checked all the controls and tried hitting all the normal keys on the keyboard but didn't see anything.
Well that sucks. What did they do with the lake, is that still there?
I just died because my guy made pain noises and the guy chasing me found me, then I tried to shoot him through a table and he just shot me with an M4 through the same table. His shots went through but mine didn't, bullshit...
That is what happens when there are only two primary guns.The loot curve definitely needs some smoothing out. I spent the first 5 hours of the game with an axe, then after going to one airfield I had multiple M4's to choose from and about 400 rounds of ammo. Okay.

I've trekked to the airfield twice, and twice found literally nothing (let alone an M4).
Bandages and rags completely stop bleeding.Well, finally found a well to stop my thirst. Found a shovel, and a zombie. Attacked the zombie and started to bleed. Found a pair of rags and bandaged myself. Continued to bleed a few minutes later (I guess that's realistic... kinda... though a little insane in time-to-heal?) and a group of zombies found me and... black-out.
Not too bad though. Games still REALLY janky but the improved graphics (that are hitching for me even with the defaults?) really help with the experience for me. Double so the "head-bob" being toned down slightly.
I just wish I could make a private server to not worry about bandits and scavenge on my own time. Yes, yes, ruining the experience and all that but eh...
You change distance settings with page up and page down.
Deadly respawning zombies + anti-hop patch. I need.
If you're throwing an anti-server hop patch, then we need respawning loot.
Joined different server and got shot within the second of showing the game screen - what? Now, i'm really dead.
There's hackers already in the SA?
