As others have said they are humans and so therefore should be able to die from shots in other locations however...... one could argue an infected human does not have self preservation, will to live, the same pain threshold and does have more energy or in a state similar to people on PCP and amphetamines and so therefore can last a lot longer than a player while and after taking damage. For example if a player is shot in the stomach they will collapse due to pain response alone. A zombie shot in the same spot could continue coming at you unless you hit the heart, brain, or they eventually lose enough blood that their muscles and motor systems cannot function any longer and they too collapse, start crawling and clawing at you and eventually die.

Not true. Again this is subject to lore but one could argue an infected human does not have self preservation, will to live, the same pain threshold and does have more energy or in a state similar to people on PCP and amphetamines and so therefore can last a lot longer than a player while and after taking damage. For example if a player is shot in the stomach they will collapse due to pain response alone. A zombie shot in the same spot could continue coming at you unless you hit the heart, brain, or they eventually lose enough blood that their muscles and motor systems cannot function any longer and they too collapse, start crawling and clawing at you and eventually die. Now if only DayZ can figure out how to get some decent animations in the game to facilitate this.

::Facepalm:: Just go away....

Ugh gross, turn on Anti Aliasing please, it hurts my eyes.

Uhh... let me introduce you to "50 cent".

ADD EVERYTHING LAWLS. I HAVE NASA SUPERCOMPUTE

He said "Hella". A disgusting word used in the Northern Socialist Republic of California. Cespit of wana be meatheads and liberals. Its like the Jersey Shore of the west coast of the US.

Mine is people who whine about people who whine about TeamSpeak. EDIT: FUCK! Ninja'd.

How are tents important? WTF?

Close your mouth! Nobody wants to see that.

Yah, Frosti is a known troll. I had the same issue. Just verify your game cache integrity and you all should be good to go.

After watching his latest stream, I am convinced this project is doomed. Rocket is such a child. lol

SHIT sound engine,

I continue to be flabbergasted at how all these tiny little indie companies can make games and mechanics that look like this and Bohemia struggles everyday to have proper physics, dynamic lighting, and sound.

Oh god....a Californian wana be meathead.....

What are the chances we'll get graphical goodies like wet shaders on clothing and the enviroment like in GTA 5. Slim to none is my guess. Would anyone like to see this though? I dont think any game has done wet shaders as well as GTA 5 as far as I know. I know this is NOT GTA 5. Trust me.

Fair enough, but its not crap. Its the little details that separate a good game and a standard Bohemia game. Lets see if they can pull these things off.

At what point can we start getting legitimately upset/inpatient for this Zombie game to actually have interesting, scary, deadly zombies? Last day of Beta? I am most looking forward to zombies, ragdoll (better than ARMA 3, pleaaase) and 100% improved sound. I know sound will be sometime in beta and I am ok with that. Zombies we need sooner than later to keep this game interesting. And ragdoll, I understand this can be a challenge in a multiplayer environment.

How does everyone in the DayZ universe know how to sew clithing, breakdown and clean weapons, use debibrillators, fly helicopters. None of those things are known when born. I didnt learn how to properly clean an M4 untill I joined the military. I still couldnt properly sew clothing back together. This is an opportunity for a good mechanic to add to the worth of a character. Find books that teach this to each character you have. Make it so if you spend so much time next to someone who already read that skill book you can learn it too.

Please explain to me how storage can make a game....not boring? please... "Yay, I can now put my lewts in a tent..... ok my tents filled up, games boreing again!" Grow up.

I SUCK SUCK SUCK with a jeyboard and mouse. I had always been a console gamer and so when I moved to PC shortly after Arma 2 came out in 2009 I had a rough time of it. Games with aim assist like Battle Field werent so bad but Arma, my god. So recently I have noticed that anytime I get into a PvP sitchu I get my ass handed everytime. The problem is I dont practice enough I think. I may have to switch to KoS gameplay style, at least for a while to practice defending myself once I go back to my normal play style. :-/

On the grounds of DayZ which is suppose to be an antigame/realistic/authentic. It is cheating because you are essentially metagaming and doing things outside the realms of "reality" that give you a unrealistic advantage, especially when the game gives you everything you need to communicate IN game. Granted, voip needs work and again nothing can stop people using it, but yes, I do equate it to cheating. You can call me a "moron" all you like. It does'nt fit in with the DayZ experience, IMO.

Does everyone agree how much cooler the in game system can be compared to using "cheats" like TS3 and mumble. I see using those programs to be as much as cheating as gamma exploits, server hopping and combat logging to be honest. It just isnt in tune with the game and realism. You cant secretly and telepathically communicate with people so it kills immersion and now you are secretly talking tactics with someone to flank an enemy that cant hear you when in reality they could. There is something so awesome about using in game radios that have range, signal degredation from absortion and distance. Having to use head sets to not broadcast your buddies coms over the net. Batteries going dead etc. The more complex this game is the better. I always wanted to just be hiking along and all of a sudden hear a scary, survival disrtress signal come over the radio ever since I saw 28 days later and the whole "salvation is here" message comes on the radio. I always thought it would be so immesive. When radios came in I immediately grabbed one and tried to get some coms going with others. Nothing.....dead silence. I knew the devs werent going to be creative with the backstory, at least not untill the beta. So, I decided I'd take some time and broadcast so that others could hear it and get that awesome sence of wonder and immersion. I hoped it would spike some interest and use of ingame coms vs meta gaming tech like TS3. That being said, noone heard it for days. Noone even knew the radios worked. haha, I sat at the top of the power plant smoke stack broadcasting sometimes for hours at a time and kept an eye on the forums to see if the interest had been sparked. Nothing. So I had to feign finding it myself and reporting it here. Name dropping and such was something I really wanted to avoid as it was going to be kind of ovbious it was me. I server hopped.....A LOT and broadcast among many servers for hours, but still noone ever heard any broadcast on other servers. Luckily interest stayed strong and I hope you guys had fun with it as that was the true main purpose of this all. NOT TO TROLL OR PRANK, but to create atmosphere for the game. After all, its our story right? And the devs are being very slow about making it creepy, ominous or "Apocalypse feeling". So hopefully now more people are aware that the radios in game work. Will it stop the metagming that I hate so much? No. I am not naive but it was still fun to see everyone s reactions and having fun with it. It put a big smile on my face. I hope that all of you will take the reigns and create similar content across servers for the countless THOUSANDS of players out there that don't even know these forums exist or that this transmission ever happened. So the first time they hear it they will also get that feeling of excitement. How did I do it? Very simple actually and I was actually laughing when Id see posts about how "professional" it sounded. I simply played a youtube video of UVB-76, recorded with my iPhone and using this website http://text-to-speech.imtranslator.net/ played the coordinates to Green Mountain over and over again for a couple seconds. I spaced the numbers with ..... and pushed the speed down to -3. It sounded preatty legit so I then took the recording and had to continuously hit play over and over again into the VOIP mic since iPhones voice memo app does not have a loop feature. It was tedious to say the least and after a while got boring. So while I am glad everyone had fun with it, I could not sustain the tedious transmissions, ESPECIALLY since noone EVER heard it on any of the other servers I played it on. lol So frustrating lol. Anyway, I dont mean to disappoint anyone or kill the fun, just thought i'd spill the beans since I have not been transmitting for a while now and they have gone silent. I WILL however one day transmit again for the benefit of those not active on this forum who would get a kick out of hearing it crackle over the air waves. If anyone is interested in doing the same, let me know and I can post the audio file on drop box. TLDR:: It was me!!! Trolololol. No, it was fun, hope you all had fun to. P.S:: The morse code signal was a copy cat. I had nothing to do with that one. But glad to see people taking the reigns.

Sadly my friend, probably never. In one of Deans streams he and brian both mention that they dont know if music fits with the "realism" they are going for. I for one think its bull. People that don't want music can just lower the volume. I love the music personally.
