Ladders and rooftops are bad juju, avoid them if you can. There have been countless deaths do to this, not only in standalone but also some earlier versions of the mod. Sad thing is, you can fall from a roof one minute and be fine when you have no gear but the second you find something good, fall 6 inches off of a curb and you will break your neck.

But what will we do when we've deforested chernarus and killed all the little critters?? Hehe actually I do hope they reduce these things as well as backpacks. As the op stated it would force people to actually scavage for supplies and it would give the hunting blinds a use too(I've tried, no critters ran out in front of my stand). Beans to the OP, don't worry it will happen soon enough and then the butthurt will begin because people will have to work to scratch out an existence in dayz

I think when tents/persistent storage become available it will feel a bit more dayzesque. I also think vehicles and increased zed counts will help with the Dayz feel. I'm not talking about the 1000 vehicle servers but a few cars/trucks, the main bulk of vehicles should be bicycles. Also reducing the amounts of canned food and drink will give Dayz a more apocalyptic feel as things like canned goods and petrol should start to become scarce and players will have to start learning to survive rather than shooting and looting everything that moves. Now I don't want to remove PvP, just give people more options to survive, alone or in a group and promote bartering amongst players. I realize it happens now but its easier to just kill a player for things needed to survive, that's the only real interaction between players have with each other right now, trading bullets instead of things to get by for another hour/day

Did you bind your hold breath key? It reduces the gun sway but can be a bit wonky at times. Hope it helps

Unpasteurized milk??? Then add it to cereal?? Yuk and yuk, eat your cereals raw. Sorry I don't put milk on my crunchin crisps, only Rasputin Kvass

Yes its a pain when it happens but its easy to find replacement gear. Yeah I know it was a press vest/ttsko/high capacity vest but this isn't WoW where your gear has stats, unless you're one of those peeps that has to have a certain look. I rarely carry high value items in my coat or vests due to the damage zeds do to your clothing. Last time I checked this was a zombie survival horror game not a run out and get geared then camp and wait to shoot people game. I enjoy the fact that zeds are becoming more of a threat than a mere nuisance that they used to be. If you're bitching about a zombie or 3 ruining your sweet lewts, what will you do when they up the zed count? Heaven forbid you actually have to move every so often instead of playing camping simulator .45. Its not going to get any easier, I would suggest you learn to adapt to the situation

Did anyone bother to file bug reports or just make a b-line to the forums to rouse the mob, to gather torches and pitchforks and shout about how broken this game is? I mean please let's not "test" the game, only play it and grumble because of missing or broken features. The patch dropped a little over 24 hours ago, I'm sure they are working on fixes but we are all going to need to be patient because after all it is alpha.

I'm not really sure if it can ever stop raining long enough in Dayz to ever actually get sun burn or heat stroke. Maybe it was just experimental .45 but it was rarely ever sunny for very long, whenever I was on

I would like to know where I can find those admin tools as I wasnt privy to anything other than thank you for running a server that you can have no control over. I'm not bitching or griping but my point is admins don't posses these superpowers to kill anyone joining the server unless you were foolish enough to log out in a hot zone and thought you'd be safe logging into a different server.

I had this issue in experimental build, I was told the servers may have just been having hive connectivity issues. Might not be a bad idea to check a few different servers and if all else fails file a bug report

Sunburns only effect gingers, hehe such wonderful people they are with their fair skin and lack of a soul.

Man I'm stuck at work, I want to play!!!! Damnit 6 hours to go until I can play. I am so sad face

I found my akm in an office/school building, can't remember the city but it was across from a police station. It was in the last room on the right on the top floor. Ran around for a week trying to find or trade for a magazine...no luck though

NEAF for sure, since the spawns were switched I've only ever met 3 people at balota. All were friendly, one was geared and looking for magazines for his M4 and ammo by the tents. Every time I get near NEAF its a constant dance between shots, even if the shots aren't intended for you it can still be nerve wracking. I can't complain though, if I am going to NEAF I am looking for some action. The overall quality of natural loot that spawns at the NEAF is underwhelming, but the potential loot from other players it brings could be a deciding factor for some people to go there

Cool thanks for the update, no need to worry then. I'm bummed about the loot spawns being all out of wack and not getting sticks from chopping down bushes means I can't make fishing poles or make a splint on they fly. Oh well, you win some and you lose some

Alas, this is how testing goes. I'm kinda scared to hop into experimental now, I have/had an akm but after scouring balota and all the military spots on the way to NWAF I still hadn't found any magazines for it. If its rare right now I may just drop it and run the other way, people already try to shoot me enough so having something like that won't make it any easier.

Yes thats the one that just slings over your shoulder.You can make them with the burlap sack and a piece of rope in the stable build, in experimental you can use animal hide or burlap and rope. However if you add sticks to it it will make an improvised backpack.

Yes it is, add some sticks to it and you have an improvised backpack. The improvised pack was a. It was buggy in experimental, you couldn't add the stick to it. All you need is rope and a burlap sack right now in stable build to make one

The idea of torture treads a very thin line with the way the world has devolved these days. All its gonna take is one wacked out kid to say well I didn't know it was wrong I did in this video game I play called Dayz and then the media circus will begin. On to the idea of rape....no, just plain no. In what context would this be even remotely fun or amusing? I mean damn, if most players meet a female, they act all weird and are interested in doing what they can to get them naked. As a father of a young child I am appauled that you have the audacity to even mention the rape or torture of little children. I'm not sure what ass backward part of the world you live in but how could you even think to mention this? Just suggesting it makes me want to punch you in the face, I realize it happens every day but there is a line between realism and what should be allowed and that one crosses it

This right here. I would love to see the amount of pre made backpacks reduced and the improvised backpacks being used more. Once hunting/skinning is implemented into stable I think you will see more people using them. I only picked up the small child book bags in experimental until I had the required materials to make a courier bag

I can't give beans due to the use of a clown mask.....I hate clowns but seriously why not try looking for people willing to PvP?? Poor guys was friendly, yeah right.....everyone is friendly on the other end of your gun. Cool story though

Hunting is currently in the experimental build, hopefully it will be pushed to stable soon

I'm OK with no HUD like they use now but if they added another ingame text like I am feeling light headed from blood loss and an indicator on your inventory/character page that shows low blood, I would be OK with that. However they could tone down the frequency in which my character bitches about his status....I know youre hungry and thirsty damnit, I'm looking for food. Constantly reminding me about it doesn't make loot appear any faster. Melee at this point is kinda hit or miss(pun intended), I feel its a bit better in experimental but it needs a bit more tweeking. One zed should be easy to dispatch but if you have to take on a group of zeds, circle strafing works very well

I've only seen them climb stairs in experimental, also I've noticed they are in houses. I assumed they followed a player in and then they logged off and the zed stayed where it was. Also I was at the NWAF last night and found a zed upstairs in a jail building swinging wildly at the wall. Someone was glicthing and the zed was able to break their legs and then kill them(he fell head first through the wall).

Assume everyone is hostile, especially when you are near the airfields or high value weapon spawns. Sometimes trading bullets is the only language people understand
