Let's face it, sometimes all of your pockets are full. However, you can still hold it in your hands... the only problem is if you're not paying too much attention, you will inevitably drop it. Unfortunately, while we're scouting out for other players or sorting through loot/supplies quickly, it happens that an item is suddenly lost from your fingers you swore was there a second ago! A notification such as "You have dropped (item name) from your hands" in your sidebar would be a really neat addition since a lot of time, I find my pockets to be full and a slight bit of inattention leaves to the loss of a brass knuckle or a sewing kit; a piece of invaluable equipment that would be overlooked otherwise. Let me know what you think. Here is my absolutely amazing totally not photoshopped picture of what I'm talking about.

Whoops, xD haha. I remember one of those being .380.

It's Moscow. This sign was in ArmA 2 as well, if I recall.

Has anyone found a machete yet? If so, can they show some pictures?

I wonder if anyone had taken this literally and posted themselves in Combat Gear?

i dew it al dai errydai stp with hate pls cus of jely i x-sas wit teen-seevnti-fore yrs of xp 40killz and I KILL if i finde u toking trash bech yolo swg beechs (Please don't take this seriously)

I read the poll wrong, and accidentally chose 'Yes'... oops. I think that punching is good. I mean, what stops someone in real life from punching you out and taking your gun if you get close enough. Maybe an option to block, like with the current melee weapons, but with the M4/rifles?

I would have been offended too if I holstered my weapon and the guy thought he would try to turn the tables by pulling out his own weapon.

I found the best way to approach someone is by catching them off-guard. Do not EVER approach a group unless you are in a group yourself and outnumber them, along with easy shots if necessary. Humans are known to be much more stupid in packs; maybe it's an evolutionary adaptation, I don't know. If you are ever caught in a situation where you are told to freeze and put your hands up, do not talk over the voice and comply with what they say. I found it easiest to not speak so they don't try to manipulate and empower you. If they make an attempt to feed you something, do not accept it. Try to see if they want blood, and use that to your advantage. At the moment, you can't take blood from a dead body.

Those are some pretty big numbers... I don't necessarily believe you... That is, unless you are in your late 50's, then I could believe you.

- Do not go into houses with open doors. It generally means the place is already looted (this doesn't count for large buildings i.e. school buildings) - Drink at the well until you're no longer thirsty, then 6 times more. That's usually what I do. - Try to avoid GI Joes (men in camouflage and gas masks) as odds are they've reached "end-alpher" and are just looking to kill people. - Always survey a large town before heading in. Smaller towns, you can generally get away with, but I've met people there too. - DO NOT RUN INTO MILITARY BUILDINGS. Take your time checking the corners. I don't remember how many times I've ran into Green MTN and got a face full of lead from some clan on TS. - Do not sprint the entire time. Jogging may get you there slower, but your hunger, thirst, and tired bar will thank you later. - Be sure to take the time to sit (yes, sit. F3.) and eat/drink to make sure you don't die of dehydration or starvation. - If you have no bandages, you can always tear your shirt apart and use that. It has saved me countless times before. - Don't let anyone force drink/feed you anything. It could be something toxic such as Alcohol or disinfectant spray I have more, but too many will make for a bad read. Good luck, my friend. Hope to see you in Cherno.

You seem to have a really good framerate; what's your specs? I found it to be the generic DayZ shootout haha

To get rid of the blurry screen, disable postprocessing effects. At least that's how it worked in the mod. Blood generally regenerates when you see the "healthy" indicator in your inventory. If you don't see it, then odds are it is not regenerating or at a very slow rate. To do a blood transfusion you need: 1. Another player 2. A full blood bag (with your type of blood) 3. an IV Start Kit You will need to take the IV kit and the blood bag and craft them together to make the Bloodbag IV. Your friend then sticks a tube in you and puts the blood in there. The wrong type of transfused blood would cause it to clump in your blood stream, blocking capillaries and leading to death. Hope I helped. E - you can find out your blood type by taking a Blood Testing Kit and using it on yourself and your donator. Be very wary.

Onto the topic of weapons/their proceeding ammunition, and how rare it should be. This has been a pretty heated topic ever since DayZ loot has existed, and it's good that we feel very passionate about this, but making a nice, mature, discussion topic is something nice to have. In my opinion, I am all for a push on making weapons rare, and their counterpart ammunition even rarer. I am sure the argument can be used that the people in the Czech Republic are prominent owners of firearms, however, how well do you believe this would affect gameplay? I mean, I like to think about this like vehicles. No, vehicles are not that rare in real life as they are in the mod, but in all honesty, you cherish it. It is your baby. You treat it with the utmost respect and would lay your virtual life down on the line to protect it. (Slightly irrelevent, but I thought I would post this along with the topic) I am interested to hear the arguments from the other side on the matter and truly hear the voice of the community. I will be adding a poll along with the topic.

MY HOMEH!! Why don't you ever show voice? :( Do you use musty? We better play some time.

I think the loot shouldn't be removed, but rather limited. It's very hard to say right now though, because loot tables at the moment are pretty bad.

The issue I have with the night at the moment is the Gamma and Brightness "cheat", and the fact that light goes through buildings, easily giving away your position. It's a hard choice, really.

I'm an M4 guy for the sake of taking down large number of zombies. I've yet to use this weapon to kill people. Mosin is very good for taking down players, which is one of the reasons I stray away from it. I'm not much of a player killer. When the loot tables become better though, I'll be hitting the Ruger 10-22 ALL DAY ***Y

It would be the ultimate troll if Dean added you can only play on one character per day. If that character dies, you cannot log in for another 24 hours. I mean, think about it, it would give players value to their life, right? haha

No. Not for KOS. just kid lol i want it too actually

In the mod, I was walking and a Little bird showed up outta nowhere and was like "QUICK! THE ZOMBIES ARE COMIN!". I came inside, this guy took me back to this base with all these guns. I grabbed a Lee Enfield, he dropped me off in a field. I died two minutes later.

I wish had more beans to give to people. I am really loving all the feedback on this topic. Viewing it from the other perspective, I can see how it is very hard to judge at the moment how rare a weapon should be since there is really only three currently in-game. However, the aim (haha, get it?) I was hoping to see was a feeling such as vehicles have in the vanilla dayz mod. It's something you truly can cherish and makes you value your life more than normal.

I notice it eventually shows up, as long as you don't have any whacks from zombies earlier. Take some antibiotics or painkillers and it should reveal whether or not you were sick.

Sun always rises in the East, and sets in the West(ish). The wind also always blows East. Those are generally the things I use to guide myself around the map with.
