Hi Haleks,

More feedback after quite a long session with the latest build, Bandit Edition:

1. No patrol car seen after playing for several hours. It is also true I travel 99% from forest to forest so that may be the reasons.

2. When the survivors see a bandits squad they yell sometimes "Crew!" - interesting.

3. In at least two occasions a bandit squad popped up within 100 meters - it is a little bit too close. Is their minimal spawn distance different compared to a single bandit?

4. Snipers are deadly (I play at the hardest difficulty setting) because they do not reveal their location until they open fire. A single sniper took out 2 survivors and myself in less than 20 seconds, we were unable to pinpoint his location and died one after the other (he was right behind us)

5. Bandits squads are more or less everywhere. I saw them also in Elektro!

6. Bandits squads seem to keep re-appearing over and over. Around NEAF I killed 3 squads and a few individual bandits before being sniped (I always die like that) because I decided to run in a open field to check the weapon of a dead bandit sniper

7. Helicopters on the other side are kind of rare after a few hours of game-play. I suspect they crash rather often. Do they re-spawn after crashing? If not, that could explain their absence

8. For some odd reasons, crash sites (the dayZ crash sites) are extremely rare. I have seen only one so far and I have played tens of hours

9. Survivors AI ... You never know whether to recruit them or just let them go around. In a squad you have more firepower and extra pair of eyes, but they get killed far too easily

Compared to the earlier daiZy, the game has evolved a lot and now you can feel it is really hard. Travel in a open field is suicidal and you need more and more time to scan around before moving if you do not want to be sniped. The flat, open area S of NWAF is a killing ground. DaiZy is really, really interesting now, you did a great job Haleks!
