I haven't played this game for a long time, I lost interest after the last character wipe.
Though I would be totally down for a shroomery meetup, it might even be cool if we got our own little server for awhile, but then again maybe not, playing with other people is part of the challenge. My favorite part of the game was getting geared up, so until they have more loot I won't even think of playing.
Unless of course there happens to be a shroomery party in chernarus.

they've added a lot more gear and items in the last patch.
the game is still an outrageously buggy bag of dog dicks though

I've found the most fun way to play it for me is by joining private shard servers that are highly populated and just goofing around freestyle. If you get invested at all in gear and all that shit you're going to get extremely pissed off at some point because of how clunky it is.

I think that's what I'll do next time I log in, otherwise I just waste too much time looking for stuff only to cry when I die.

Yeah that's the best way to play really. You can't get attached to your gear because you WILL die to some bullshit.

I've been just goofing around a lot lately and still finding some gear or looting it off other dead people who fucked with me. If you stick a full spray can into a fireplace kit and burn it, it will explode like a frag grenade. Put one next to a gas station and you can achieve the desired effect:

Start the game, click on Change Server. When the server list populates, you can toggle it to show the Private hive servers first. I usually sort them by population and pick the fullest Private servers. There aren't a lot of low ping USA servers so I have most of the good ones in my Favorites and have existing player files on them.
The nice thing is that you will have a fresh new character on each of them that is not influenced by the others.

Yeah they shit the bed with persistence but private servers are still pretty fun sometimes. I'm starting to finally tire of it though.

Just logged on and seemed to have some luck. The graphics look a lot better in the buildings and it seemed to have a lot of loot sitting around. I either got sniped through a window or some sort of aimbot took me out. I was in the middle of a skirmish when I logged on. multiple people on the floors above me and guys shooting at them. I just hid behind a door waiting to slug one in the back of the head if they came in. All I had was an axe and a 22 with no ammo and these guys had magnums and riffles. then lights out and I was dead.

Yeah it was intense! I liked eavesdropping on the people above me hearing their game plan. I was going to rush them as they started trading items but then shit went down.

I had a random exchange with another new spawn a couple of weeks ago, we had spawned outside of Elektro and happened to have both been killed by the same bandits in that town. So I found a couple of fire extinguishers really quickly and we rushed the bandits. I took out like 3 guys with the extinguishers before they killed me with a chainsaw. The ease of abusing desync in up-close melee fights is pretty obnoxious when you're on the receiving end. Those fire extinguishers are brutal too if you can get the hang of making headshots with them.
