    1.7.6 Cans and Drinks

    i thought it was a nice idea, maybe a little on the daft side, but thats exactly what the survivors of a zombie apocalypse need to keep their hopes and spirits up! and as long as it fills the hunger and thirst bars, its fine by me!

    Disorder's Military Guide

    #4 should be void if you have no cover, going prone in the middle of a field whilst a sniper takes shots at you is asking for death... i know, i have been both the sniper and the idiot of this relationship (not at the same time of course)

    Windows 8

    yes, there is a way to make it look like windows 7 all the time, but i dont know how to do it (nor have i wanted to) let me know how to if it can somehow save me a few GB on my windows instalation, coz my SSD is packed and it only got windoes and dayz on it :P

    Windows 8

    i use win8, not a single problem with DayZ, and its far more optimised than win7, i would strongly recomend that you install it on an SSD as well for some crazy 10 second boot times

    Standalone or arma?

    if you dont buy Arma, you can't practice flying helicopters untill you find one in DayZ... and thats a little too late to start learning unless you want to crash into a mountain or get shot by a bandit get Arma, play it BEFORE DayZ to get the hang of the controls and play style, then jump into the horror!
  11. personally, i dont see what the "hackers" are whining about, if you want to hack your way to perfect gear, make your own damn server, but don't go ruining our games because you can't be arsed to look through a few buildings for your map and compass unless you're a non-hacking bandit, in which case you add to our fun! nothing like dodging legitimate bandits through a city

    Am i Lucky or unlucky?

    spawned into my first ever server, ready to survive in chenarus, and this is how my first life went for a few minutes: stumbled upon electro, and went straight for a church, found a ghilie suit first thing, an alice pack, and some essential tools (a bit of food/drink) made my way around the city and found most of the tools i needed (just missing compass, matches and hatchet) got cornered by zed in a building and eaten alive :D god i love DayZ! the only game where you can go from going well to dead inside of a minute with no warning :D

    realistic shock

    if anyone has ever read about first aid, you'll realise that shock in DayZ is almost the opposite of its rea life affliction in real life, shock is caused by excess hormones (usually adrenaline) shutting down the circulatory system, and is lethal in many cases. taking an epi-pen to cure shock would actually kill you. in real life, you need to rest and increase blood flow to the body and head (by raising the legs) (dont take my word for it, i wont be held responsible for failed first-aid killing someone!) how about this: shock acts as it does now, but with the added "benefit" of making teh afflicted fall unconcious (and die shortly thereafter) if it is allowed to manifest into SEVERE SHOCK to cure it, do what you need to! take a suitable drug (not sure myself), but definatley NOT Adrenaline (epinephrin/epi-pen) since this will shut down the respiratory system of the target... i mean casualty, or rest, allowing the body to regulate its adrenaline levels by literally calming down, and stopping any more adrenaline production through fear of death as a gameplay mechanic: recieving shock is as normal, after 5 minutes without resting (or taking suitable medication) Severe shock develops, with a 1/100 chance per second of falling unconcious, and not waking up again. if a survivor administers an epi-pen to the casualty, they die almost instantly (in fact, the anti-adrenaline medication must be injected instead) by resting, you "pause" the severe shock countdown, and after 60 seconds, the shock is removed if the shock was not from injury (IE gunfire aimed near them, severely stressing situations like being chased by a horde of zed), it will remain as normal shock, not be lethal, but still have its current effects once more, an epi-pen will almost certainly make the shock WORSE, like trying to save a drowning person by giving them a drink of refreshing mountain dew, or trying to save a burn victim by setting them alight
