    V3S passenger footage

    I hope so. Someone asked him if the mirrors will have the reflections like in A3. He said, "not yet." :D

    Time Alive

    Hell yeah. I would love to see player stats similar to the mod, i.e., heroes/bandits/zeds killed. But that Time Alive stat would be awesome, and knowing that people hunt me down solely because of my survival time...I would enjoy that challenge. Granted, it isn't much to go on just knowing your quarry's current server. And there's no guarantee the hunted won't leave the game once the hunters close in for the kill. :/ If a Time Alive stat is added, however, the hunted could join a TS chat with the hunters to taunt them, give clues about their location, etc. I'd leave notes in obvious places after killing one hunter with an arrow: The Gingerbread Man was here...while you three two were cooking by that fire for 10 minutes across the road. Good luck catchin' me.

    Game would be fun if they had a smaller boundry

    Then join a private server with an active community that hosts events...

    Try heavily populated servers and stick to large cities on the coast south and east. Player interaction is unavoidable there. Happy hunting!

    Will the Beta version cost anything?

    My buddy just make that argument. I guess the difference lies in expectations, at least for me it does. I don't just want the finished product, I want to experience its evolution over the development cycle, so even though I don't like the bugs and what I consider Call of DayZ gameplay that goes on, I accept it as part of the process. If that makes sense.

    Will the Beta version cost anything?

    Yeah, I was talking to my kids about this earlier. A friend of theirs chimed in, saying it's better to be skeptical about corporate promises, etc., citing Makerbot's 180 on openness, and how Early Access probably means a ton of DLC. Simple conflation I guess. She's never played DayZ so I schooled her a bit, may have even talked her into buying while it's still Alpha.

    improvised leather backpack

    I like the fact that the leather pack has 5 more slots than its counterpart. Takes more effort to kill an animal than to find a burlap sack. Now if they will let us increase the capacities of the improvised backpacks, I'd give 'em all of my beans. Because who needs beans when you have, say, 30 slots for venison and bacon? :)

    Will the Beta version cost anything?

    Probably because selling DLCs has become a common method of revenue generation, so people are skeptical. And with good reason. Hell, it's not much of a stretch to assume that big companies will do and say anything to make more money.
  9. From 0 to 5 of an item for each search attempt?

    Do we really need more towns?

    Maybe the new towns will be necessary given the rarity of guns and ammo in the future? And who knows how well their new development tools work (engine, etc.) -- maybe they can expand the map, put more km^2 between towns. I think that would make more sense than overcrowding a map that's arguably too dense as it is.

    DayZ Developer AMA: Chris Torchia

    It's probably a decision based on numbers instead of an excuse. That said, I'd like to see a wide variety of incredibly rare long range rifles, submachine guns, and LMGs.

    So, are vehicles coming in 0.50 or not?

    The V3S truck. They're making exciting progress on it. Brand new physics engine and a lot more. The info about it is on the DevTracker board titled Twitter / Peter: Vroom Vroom (Vehicle Preview)

    Your fetish item

    Too late! Always too late. I die like every other day. :) Just logged off for today and found my new hunting outfit: tan boonie or brown beanie tan tactical shirt or brown hoodie autumn or winter pants leather backpack low tan hiking boots

    gun shaking

    More like RO than CoD. Weapon sway exists, but is lessened.

    Your fetish item

    Same here. I bow hunt big game, carrying either a Magnum or Derringer for engaging inaccurate KoSers. My corpse never has much of value to someone who's well geared. They don't know that I have jack shit, and when I'm murdered, that fact pleases me.

    New backpack?

    A black 28-slot waterproof bag exists in exp. I'd like the ability to spraypaint backpacks.
  17. Zombies clipping through floors, hitting you through walls, or hitting you when you're inside and they're outside...not a new issue.
  18. Yes. And cool idea about using TS rooms as radio channels!

    Your fetish item

    Piece of paper, but it has to be from the book Call of the Wild because my characters are always PvE hunters, fishermen. Here lies WhiskeyTango, avid outdoorsman and creator of the world famous Chernarussian Whiskeyfish Tacorrito. The recipe dies with me.

    1911 Anyone having this problem?

    Happened to me with a couple of different guns. In my case, it was probably due to the server not responding to my actions while it was under heavy load. Try again in a few minutes, or right after the server restarts and few people are on it. Failing that it's probably like hammy55 said, a ruined mag or gun.
  21. Great news! Do you have a forum?

    Killing zombies

    As for zeds...I do what Sacha does. The axe needs to be Badly Damaged for the stone to sharpen it up 1 level to Damaged.

    Some Questions and Some Suggestion needed

    1. Wool fights the cold, raincoats and gorka pants are waterproof. Keep matches and remember it only takes two sticks and a rag/paper to start a fire. 2. idk, sorry :/ 3. Servers can't be favorited while in-game. (Yet?)

    Does anyone dislike the "no military stuff" agrument?

    Great points here. Personally, I look forward to the day when weapons are low on the list of priorities. - When medical items like antibiotics and alcohol tincture are worth more than a pair of pristine high caliber firearms. - Having to search 8-12 hours just to find 5 precious rounds of damaged ammo for a coveted but crappy .22. - Using tools to fine-tune an inaccurate scope, maybe even finding a pristine piece of glass to replace the cracked piece I used for a month. - When I can setup Whiskey's World Famous Fish Taco stands along the coast. Not to poison everyone, but just because I'm a Good GuyTM.
