Some interesting comments there Niceonegunit.
A bit of history: I've never played DayZ! I heard of the game years ago, and most of the comments included player killing, stealing blood, handcuffs, stealing loot, hackers, corrupt admins... well, the list goes on.
A couple of months ago I watched a few videos on Youtube by FrankieonPC1080 (you might have seen them) and I ended up watching all 41 (from memory) of them. I was a convert! I knew I wouldn't play MP (crappy ADSL) (and I'd die a lot)(and generally suck at it) but I definitely wanted to experience the survival gameplay.
The early videos (ie, versions of DayZ) seemed the purest to me, massive weapon selection, neat gear. I do think more, within reason, (especially for single player) is better but it has to work properly and reliably. It has to fit with the overall experience.
I haven't paid much attention the SA yet but it seems far removed from what started it all. I guess that's the problem with a concept which becomes public property and spawns so many variations.
This forum / site is pretty unique too - there's no place else that has so many talented modders (yourself included) working on SP DayZ.
Anyway, I'll look into the older versions of DayZ. The change logs for these versions on the DayZ Forums may indicate a specific beta version. Also, as you may have missed it, what do you suggest and the base/mission mix of your downloads? I've downloaded the DaiZy_v042e[LAN]Chernarus.pbo and so far so loot pickup problems.
Oh, I've seen videos of Rust. I really don't get it.
Cheers,
Eric
