Eventually, the DayZ experience will need random elements to sustain interest. Chopper crashes are great. Would also LOVE to see another plane crash, ideally a military transport full of goodies...

Trust...who cares either way? Were you not entertained?

'Assery'. Have beans for a truly wonderful word :)

A peaceful slaughter?

No major rewards, just very subtle, scaleable benefits which increase automatically with each extra day of survival: You can hear slightly better, approaching footsteps etc - you've trained your senses over time You can get a little more meat off an animal, when hunting's back in You can maintain weapons slightly better, condition stays pristine a little longer You take slightly less damage off Zeds, as you know how to handle them You need slightly less equipment to repair vehicles, when vehicles are back in You can last slightly longer on a given amount of food/water

Are Zeds invited? I assume this new utopian Chernarus won't tolerate any discrimination?

Can you sew up wounds? That would be John Rambo epic.

Care to share??

@op: the timer system is meant to work in tandem with respawning loot - which will be implemented later during alpha. Both systems working together will hugely improve DayZ.

Would be cool if every owner of the paper added their player name in a list. That way we could see all the players who found it before us, a fragment of the History of Dayz if you will.

Whoever said truth is stranger than fiction...?

OT: OP, you should really credit your SIG to JS

Maybe try playing hardcore servers, bit less trigger happy... Oh, he ragequit.

Ha ha joke..... right? This reads like a prison essay by a reformed psychopath ;)

Protip: when taking sniper fire, DO NOT stand still with your hands in the air :facepalm:

Like your style :thumbsup: Enjoyed that a lot, thanks for sharing.

IIRC that sound predates DayZ entirely; it's from the vanilla Arma2 soundscape.

I had a pristine Magnum and a pristine .45 in my pack. Today I found they are both badly damaged. I have taken damage from a few Zeds along the way. I have never been shot. Did the Zeds somehow damage these items? If so, I think this mechanic needs changing. A zed tearing at your flesh is never going to damage a solid metal firearm stowed in your pack.

No, not been shot (yet). 100% zed inflicted damage. And only a hit here and there, easily recovered from.

Whatever turns you on...

1. Uninstall. 2. Relax. 3. Move on.

Are you really so naive? You think in a real apocalypse (zombie or not) everyone else will just hold your hand and help you through it? Nobody's going to just fucking kill you for your food and equipment? Such faith in humanity would be fatally misplaced.

Let's clarify: so it definitely doesn't work, except it definitely does work because objects now appear instantly in my vicinity when I drop them (pre-tweak it took 10-30 secs). So it works. Except it CAN'T WORK because the engine uses.......... yet it demonstrably does. So.....uh,...... Ah fuck it.

No effect for me - dropping items still takes 15-30 seconds for them to appear in the vicinity :( Please ignore my bovine stupidity. Thank you very much - :beans: deposited. :thumbsup:

By any standards that's low, selfish, reptilian behaviour. Good that you've confessed, but you and I could never be friends :)
