Is this a loot crash site or an actual helicopter that someone was flying and then crashed? Cause if it was an actual helicopter, they explode four or five times after a crash.

That is Skalisty Island on the left. Sorry cant post my own screenie, I'm at work.

Which feels more and more like it won't be out this year. At the end of September, they were like "expect this tumblr to get really busy over the next few weeks." Then it was like, 10 screenshots and commentary about the engine (I will admit I liked what he said about the engine.)

When you expect the world to reset during sunset and it will be sunrise again. When you tell women that only one pair of clothes will fit them for the rest of eternity, so why not go naked? P.S. Blindingsun, I like your Sig, that was a great book series. The movies were absolute trash.

Day 1: I died. Spawned, Found Enfield. Killed 2 people in Cherno. Died. Waiting for Standalone.

I've hit someone 5 times with the kobra and had them still be mobile. Two AKM hits will guarantee at minimum a broken limb or unconsciousness.

US Trademark law does not dictate that companies can decide if their brand and/or products are used in other settings, such as TV, film, books and yes, even games. Fair Use clauses allow for such brands to be displayed, even if the owner of the trademark objects. The main legal recourse trademark holders have is if they can prove their brand was in some way, harmed, by its inclusion in the usage under dispute. Companies have tried to sue movie studios in the past for using their products and have been shot down by the courts. Trademark laws don't exist to give companies the right to control and censor movies and TV shows that might happen to include real-world items. Studies on Fair Use laws have backed up this interpretation (see Stanford Law School's Fair Use Project for more information). It would be extremely difficult to argue in court that eating Heinz Baked Beans and drinking Coke to survive a zombie apocalypse would cause harm to their brands. Should Rocket/Bohemia include Heinz, Coke and Pepsi even if their respective trademark holders object? Discuss. *DISCLAIMER* I am not a lawyer. I do not claim to know the fine print of US Trademark Law. If I say something in here that is wrong, feel free to correct me as long as you provide exact references from the law itself. Please do not consider me when choosing legal representation in the event that Heinz, Coke or Pepsi decides to sue because their products were included in DayZ.

Anytime I read "found a chopper then got banned" I just assume they hacked it in and got banned. I have been playing DayZ for three months, nearly every day and I have NEVER found a legit chopper. I am instantly suspicious of ANYONE that claims to have done so.

Or he spawned one and got a battle-eye kick.

The last time I got shot by a DMR, my blood icon went from green to greenish yellow and all I had to do was bandage. DMR has a higher distance damage drop off than any other sniper rifle. It is also the least accurate.

What is "kol"? Kill on lizard? Kill on Lupis? I assume you meant KoS which stands for Kill on Sight. If the disease spread quickly enough, there might be canned food years later.

The mass-grave sites with the body bags would likely stink longer because they are much more protected from the elements. They would literally decompose inside the bag and turn into soup. Everything would liquefy, including bones.

No, it is because everything the server keeps track of is also repeated on your client. Every new dead body, item pile and destroyed building is loaded client-side when you try to log in. All this is fixed for standalone. Hopefully they will stagger chopper spawns like they should be.

Het, can I buy a multipass? My name is Corbin Dallas. I also need one for my wife, Leeloo.

What the... Who spray-painted Derpy Hooves light blue? This is biblical... Like Old Testament biblical... Dogs and Cats living together... Mass-Hysteria...

The only real problem with any of this is that chopper crash sites are usually more common and easier to get to than the NWAF Barracks. The problem of L85 and AS50 being too common would be solved if chopper crash sites were staggered spawns. The reason chopper crashes are so common currently is because the really popular servers have to reset once every three hours. When they do, BAM, five new chopper crash sites.

With the massive population reduction, poop and urine would break down faster than it was left behind. The massive sanitation problems you usually read about spreading mass-disease are more often found in areas where a huge group of people are occupying a very small amount of land. Good examples of this are refugee camps.

There are numerous threads on this board that explain this phenomenon. Quite often when the log-in or log-out process is interrupted or bypassed (such as with an internet drop) your player will die and end up in debug plains with no items or backpack. My recommendations are as follows: 1. Next time your internet drops, wait longer before logging back in. 2. If you do die, quite often you can run back to where your last position was and find your body. 3. If you are playing on public servers, try logging into a different server after your internet dies. It is my theory that the game kills you because you are logging into the same space your linkdead character is already occupying, thus, killing both characters.

Barbed Wire is use exactly for what it is intended, to make a location more difficult to get past. The *ONLY* current problems with barbed wire are as follows: 1. Barbed Wire will re-appear upon server reset even if it has been removed. This is what causes most of the frustration when certain buildings are almost permanently troll-closed. 2. It is annoyingly difficult to find the proper spot to get the menu option to remove it. The center post sometimes will only barely register and clicking the remove wire option is way more labor intensive than it should be. Fix these two problems and barbed wire will be just fine.

Bandit and Hero skins would be 100% successful in their intent if Humanity wasn't so easy to spoof. Because retuning fire and killing someone that shot at you but missed gives you a Bandit skin, its purpose is lost. I've had more positive interactions with Bandit skins than normal skins. Hero skin is the same problem. Anyone that puts the effort with a friend to get Hero skinned can easily shoot anyone they want and keep the skin by camping a hospital with a friend and repeatedly healing them. I was a normal skin for my entire play duration until recently i got in a 3v7 gun battle and ended up with 5 kills and -11k humanity. I never would have killed anyone if they hadn't shot first. The only reason to take out bandit and hero skins is because the humanity system doesn't work. Rocket said a while back that Humanity is the mechanic the game deserves, but doesn't need yet. This is spot on because it will only help the game if it works exactly the way it is supposed to.

Were not talking like Minecraft where the dirt is its own square and to dig you just hit it with a shovel. It feels like the only "simple" (I use simple as an extremely relative term) underground structures would be prefab layouts with modular rooms. To construct the next room you walk up to the closed door with the requisite parts and hit the menu option. Entrance would have to be dissociated from the actual building in-game. Finding the entrance (think the LOST hatch) would let you be ported inside and then you work from there. Perhaps if someone is inside, they could lock it from the inside. Then it would only be accessible if someone put a satchel charge on it. Then it would "unlock". It would be an interesting logout mechanic if you had to go to sleep on the bed to save your character, then someone raiding could kill you in your sleep. The other option would to have the underground bunkers be static locations with groups of people taking up residence and bringing scrap metal and the like in order to "repair" the weapons lockers or something. This has pros and cons as well though. Pros would be the PvP they would generate. Ability for larger bases than would otherwise be possible. Cons would be things like Clans not being able to hide their base etc. They would have to have a guard online 24/7 to defend it since everyone knows where it is.

I will try this in standalone when zombies don't serpentine.

Someone set up a voting bot and didn't realize this wasn't a page for the apocalypse brought about if Mitt Romney was elected.

I only use sidechat to communicate with admins and to talk to a person right after they've killed me. After that, it's back in the immersion.
