So i have noticed two things. One is that items in the inventory now have a purple shine/glow to them. Also, we cant cut trees or bushes any more. Any other things missing or wrong after the patch?

Im a survivalist nut actually, haha. Zombies was just a bonus in a survival game for me, :)

Im in! Tell me when it starts!

So I spawned inland a ways, to the east of Berezino. I found some civvy clothes, a payday mask, some food, and wanted to do some banditry. I hurried down to solnichy to stock up some more. As I was coming out of the medical building, I saw a fresh spawn running up on me. I contemplated splitting his head with my ax, but instead decided to drop him a can opener and some bacon. He ate it, thanked me, and ask if I wanted to tag along to berezino and the NEAF. I said sure, and we met his friend heading up on the railroad. I was just following at this point. with a ton of experience under my belt, I could tell the city was pretty well picked over I knew they were going to run off to check the police station, and I didnt have a gun, so hell, maybe there would be a sporter or something. As soon as I saw the front door closed, I was alert. Something was up. I then noticed my two comrades had taken off down the road yelling "F*CK YOU!" at the top of their lungs. Thats when I heard a voice in the police station say, "Hands up!". Of course, I didnt say anything, or put my hands up, because theyd just put a bullet in my head anyways, thats what common banditry in this game has become. So i quickly opened the door and leaned to see what the force trying to get me was. A guy with a bullet proof vest and AK with drum mags! What? So he took a quick spray at me as I looked, and I ran around the back of the fence, and leaned around the side. He didnt see this, because he took off after my friends, taking shots at them every few feet. I didnt know there was more than one, and I would have loved that AK, so I waited for him to run a bit farther, and then crept after him with my ax ready. His friend put three bullets in my feet from behind, and I charged in. He saw me and started to yell "HANDS UP" and spray bullets as I brought the ax down on him three times. He tryed to flee while reloading, and I decided to excuse myself. I yelled a bit and ran, drawing him and his friend off. As I put my hands up, and they shot me, I saw the two guys I was with disappear into the forest. *sniff* I am such a good person....

Well, could have stayed behind the fence. But helping was only half of it. I knew that if I helped, theyd get away, but also there was a chance for an AK. So, half good, half greed.

Thanks.

I thought I hit him on the head, but i was in the open, and he would have gotten the other guys anyways, so I drew them off.

Rick, if Im rushing you, youre a corpse. Only CoDlers and braggarts rush. I enjoy the thrill of the long hunt. I sit back and bleed them.... A shot in the foot, a broken arm..... I get off on making prey suffer, lol.

nice video dude.

But dogs cant just graze. Horses can. In fact, as long as its not dirt, or poison ivy, horses can eat most plants.

Boy, you just go out of your way to be an ass to everyone, dont you? how about you blow your bullshit right out your gaping asshole sir. People like you dont help.

There are a bunch of cows on a pasture inland.... forget which town. I remember the route, but not the name. There are 3 to 4 at a time, and a little shack. Also, near the buildings above berezino, the little village usually has a boar or deer skulking around in the trees.

I play for the enjoyment of being able to be a raw human. By raw human, I mean without the constraints of a society. there are no laws, no rules, just like it would be for real. And i enjoy the fact that any scenario I want can be played out, in a semi realistically manner. The fact that its fun comes second.

Ive gone all the way down the coast from berezino to electro, and havent seen a single person. The buildings are all unlooted too. Its crazy.

Does anyone know if we can craft arrows for bows? its seems like if we cant then they are a bit too rare.

Im not sure. i have recovered a crossbow bolt before. However, they dont actually stick in the thing you shoot (something to do with collision.) and so yo have to make sure they hit a tree or building if you want to pick them back up.

Im friendly. With the addition of fishing and hunting, Its become way easier again. Just like in Arma 2 mod, I like to get some gear off the coast, like canteens, and some good clothes. ( I currently run full black or brown farmers clothes) Then I get an axe, machete, and hoe/shovel in my backpack and get away from the coast. I get a bow and a fishing pole, then secure a lure and some arrows. Once there, you can make easy food out of the fish or wild game. I prefer fires because they cook quicker for now, and take less sace than a cooker and frying pan/ cooking pot, but fires make a lot of light, and this attracts people like all get out. but really, once yove got the canteens, a lake, and a fishing pole, you can make it indefinitely. I also try to not have to kill players. Really, I try to avoid them altogether unless I see some one getting attacked or robbed, then I usually just try to scare off the attackers with some arrows, otherwise I kill them. Sometimes, I go to the coast and hand out free meat just to interact with people, but once you find a good spot in the woods with the essentials, theres no need for anything else.

Dayz Souls. Thats all we want. Nuff said.

Anyone know how many types of fish there are? I made a character who is literally just outdoors (hunts with a blaze, fishes with fishing pole, and cooks in the woods using a gas stove.) I just caught a few carp, and i was wondering if different bodies of water had different fish? anyone know yet?

Yea they give a lot of meat if you gut them with a pristine machete. (93-97% of 1 KG. This is because each fish is 2 KG, after gutting you have the two cuts.) So its a good bit of food. I actually just lost my meat, hook, and cooking gear to a server reset because it took over 15 minutes to cook.

Im not! i was rather inspired by the troll who jumped me with a wrench immediately after respawning, only to get knocked out and beaten to death with his own wrench. I also met him later when he ambushed me, and I broke his legs with a hoe and let him get eaten! Also, when you are good at finding the hooks and ashwood trees, its not hard to get the things back! Ill have tales later, Im sure.

Or not. got killed immediately.

Oh, too bad. but hey, they got a ton of meat on them! I plan to go down the coast in character helping out noobs with free fish meals. Just because I enjoy making a character with a story! maybe if i find a walkie talkie, I can hail some body. Thanks for the answer!

So I just killed my first boar, and got a bunch of nice steaks off him for my frying pan! (now to get some fish with my new fishing pole! Surf and Turf!) but I was a bit confused with the pelt. is there any use for it? A guy in a group i met earlier said there was a way to make a backack with certain pelts, but im not sure. Anyone know for sure?
