maybe they could make it that pitching a tent and sleeping at it regains blood over time (the longer you stay in the sleep animation & only a tent that you own and can pack rather than old camping tents already pitched - same effect as a blood bag, as an alternative for lone wolves.

when tents respawned on server restart, and there were camps with thermal weapons / nvgs aplenty, the game was better.. now you find nothing, no camps, hardly any weapons and the craic factor is greatly reduced.. there I said it. Now its tears about Nvg's.. nothing but fucking tears its destroying the game tbh..

mine was working no problem last night on the public hive with the latest DayZ patch and running 101480 beta, however the M4A1 has never worked anytime i've used it..

Hi R4zor49, is there an acknowledgement of the M4A1 torch bug? any "it's on the to do list!" kinda thing? a, "we have our best people working noon and night to recitify the situation!" eh eh? no pressure like..

yeah everyone within a radius of 200m can hear you in DC, thats why I try to initiate contact via text in DC if I can first, don't wanna give away your position too handily

the north star is accurately mapped and clouds always move east, what more do you need? also I don't get the whole crank up brightness and gamma thing it looks awful, just with I HDR I think night time is amazing in game, it's far from not being able to see a thing..

no, I mean what I say, the M4A1 holo torch still isn't working..

M4A1 Holo torch still isn't working!

the server I play on is thankfully perpetually full moon, now that being said and done its also a private hive and white listed, the server was recently reset so I don't think any or maybe a few pairs of NVG's probably exist on the server. The only tweak to my settings I use, is I always turn HDR up High and also give it some time for the moon to rise, dusk is the much harder time i find to see. I've just actually stopped playing on the server for this very reason as it's gmt -5, i'll probably log in again around midnight once the moon has risen..

So how about when you are in combat the gun icon flashes red, when you aggro Z's it flashs the default green - when you are in combat and aggroed it flashes green and red intermittently? or, as another alternative maybe have 2 different icons? 1 combat / 1 aggro.

yeah I know what you mean, but someting when using sd ammo in regular weapons, you can't be sure if you have just gone into combat but not necessarily aggroed any other creatures when in a town and are safe to move or stay positioned..

at the minute i'm living in a black log cabin up north, close to my house - until today I had 2 well stocked tents but i've lost them.. currently I was on the hunt for a cz50 so I could go rabbit hunting - ever been? it's great fun, so difficult.. now i'm back looking for some new tents, lost all my medical supplies so gonna have to repleisih then, lost all my weapons and ammo gonna have to replace them - haven't bothered with a vehicle for weeks, find them all the time and just vandalise the wheels rather than stealing them, usually take and dump all the fuel cans too that are stashed in them, let the oners work!.. longest i've stayed alive has been like 40 days, usually have something to do when I get a chance play, I don't look for trouble but it usually finds me, current server i'm playing on was gonna invite people round to my house for beers on friday night for a chat about the new standalone but they have now disabled comms again on the server.. DayZ still absolutely rocks..

all this time you've been playing with deaf infected, thats now fixed, welcome to the pain, what you need is new strats not tears..for instance, when looting Stary? bring all the infected down to the big long barn south of the tents and draw them all into by firing a couple of shots, then leg it out the other door, now you have time to get up and recky the medic tents.. firing a gun in a town is asking for trouble.. as it should be..

my tip would be to conceal yourself and ingage first of all by typing in DC, if you can get a conversation going that way and you assess them to be sound enough, then and only then use your mic to talk some more as now they can locate you by the sound of your voice. only ever talk in direct chat when you know the odds are stacked in your favour. running up to people shouting "friendly" isn't really the way to do it..

i've been beta testing the patch for weeks, Z's now really are a consideration rather than an annoyance, you can get trapped really quickly and killed by the horde.. horror!! imagine that in the apocolypse? carefull opening tins of drink & eating would be my tip.. Also what hasn't really been stressed is is that Z's hearing now works properly too..

its pretty simple, red good, blue bad, pink flashing? you need to sort it out and get warm..

This! wanna have great fun? do 1 v 1 with a friend on an empty server in Electro, only wounding shots (unless on private hive where one of you has admin rights and can respawn you in elektro)- after a person is injured you must help get them back to full blood then give them a couple of minutes to relocate, 1 point for a hit, minus 5 if killed by the horde.. ps play at night! no camping..

no, my friend it's you who isn't getting it, there is no guarantee that you're going to have a "vanilla" experience on a private hive. It can run whatever it wants, play on public hive servers for the vanilla experience as it will be uniform. At the end of the day its Skiddes that are breaking up the community, by and large people don't want to play with them or on the shit stained servers they pollute..

exactly, its a private hive, if you don't like it find another server. simples.

The private hive is running a modded version of Chernarus, funnily enough i'd a similar experience yesterday, first of all I was like, wtf a firehouse in Berezino then on hitting N.E.A.F. all the barricks were there between Inustrial and the main hanger too. I think there is also a forrest south of the N.E.A.F that isn't in the public HIVE. I suppose it just comes down to the modability of the games engine..

play at night on dark servers with them before they are no longer an obstacle to you, trust me, eventually they become zero craic when you have them mastered..

the only thing limiting you is your imagination tbh.. you have the equipment of an end of level boss, so go off and be one? stop hiding? go back to the coast? what lies beneath the wookie suit? bandit? hero? - there is no score in this game, at the end of the day it's all about social interaction and having the balls to engage other players other than camping half a mile away and shooting them with your as50.. imho.. try building a camp fire and inviting a few randoms round it and sit for 5 mins for a chat, see what their up too & if you can help them.. course if you're a socially inept moron, looking for some validation through a "score" this might be a difficult concept to get your head around..

could always try reading the readme_FXAA file in the your beta folder?
