That way people are still going to be drawn to airdrops that you pay for in the hope that it was a found airdrop you called in. You are then paying for a honeypot and a chance to ambush some players to get their items.

I died from starvation,i cant judge from 1 hours play but as has been said on reddit there is nowhere near enough food and drink,post on reddit complaining that all people do is log in run around and fail to find food and drink and die rinse and repeat. Yeah its a survival game but that hour i played not a single item of use for food or drink makes me see why reddit is in uproar over this more so than the airdrops, which incidentally dont guarantee any loot and also can drop miles from you and be found by another player.

If you have an empty bottle and it's raining out (presume if you go to a lake or something as well) you can use the bottle to collect dirty water. Then you need to build a fire (some discovery needed) and use the water in the fire to purify it. Not exactly sure how it works as I've not played yet. Might know more later No idea the story with food.

At least when the Day Z mod launched it was messy but it was enjoyable. This is far worse than a mod made by an amatuer, how a studio of real developers can stand over this is a joke. Early access or not. First play through went like this. Spend 20 mins battling with the servers trying to join. Spawn right next to a Zombie, oh **** better be quite and back away. Wait a minute he doesn't see me. Wonder what happens if I sneak up on him? Get within 5 feet he runs away! follow him, he keeps running five feet in front of me all that was missing was the Benny Hill music. Finally catch him and a few punches to the head kills him, oh dear not a good start:(. Look around everything starts jumping and glitching, wow it looks really bad. Really ugly. See a little town, the next 20 mins are spent opening cabinets and refrigerators and finding nothing. Decide to run on a bit maybe it had been picked dry. Run for ten minutes get to the next town, all these buildings look familiar? yip they used the same assets again About twenty mins spent searching and I found 1 t shirt. Picked it up and it instantly vanished. Lets leave here and head to the next area, a small truck stop. About twenty zombies here this could be dangerous but there might be good stuff. Run in all the zombies ignore me, I search again for ten mins but find nothing. I am about to die so I sit down. Random dude punches me in the head. I am so utterly bored with the game I let him punch me to death as it is more interesting that continuing playing.

Dont put me in a queue for 2 hours, just tell me the servers full so i can try another. I keep having to restart the game after backing out of a queue because the Join server button stops working... Afew minutes ago i managed to get into 9th place on an EU server, i was excited!, about 10 minutes later i was in 3rd spot and the game crashes back to desktop.
