I've walked all around that top part of the map and I followed all the roads. Cool seeing things that never existed in Chernarus before. Like scoping out my old camp site and finding a giant construction yard built a few hundred yards away. Or realizing that the devs know how brutal they made dehydration so they put water pumps alongside roads in the middle of nowhere up there. Tons of potential for fun if they ever tone down the ten fold number of barracks on the map.

Most military camps are poor options for food and drink. I usually only find rotten fruit at them and those are not worth eating. Which base are you near? Most of them are pretty close to a town and the towns have water pumps. Having someone point that out to me was a huge help. Drink ten or twelve times and you should be good. As far as ammo goes, no idea on that one. I found one pack of .45 in a military building but that was it.

Didn't bother to pick them up but have seen two on the back seats of burned up cars.

This should never happen. Its the lesser of two evils at work. You should never be able to loot from a player if they died to another player. Maybe zombies should damage 50% of the person's items. I actually just got done playing after being killed by two guys at NEAF. One of them took a few shots at me so I ducked into a building and waited. I could have easily chickened out and logged but I don't care about the gear I found. I've even got bored and suicided in the mod just to hunt for more gear. I figured at most, I would die damaging some his gear. Ended up killing one of them and died to the other. My one consolation in getting randomly killed by some douche is that maybe some of my gear or the guy I killed's gear ends up being unusable by them. The other side of that coin is when someone attacks you and you survive but have damaged gear. Bummer but your reward is that you are alive and the other player is not.

I didn't catch your reference but that's a pretty cool persona.

In Steam you have to select the picture on your harddrive and upload them to the Steam cloud. THEN add them to your post.

Wow, a guy goes out of his way to try to help some people out and crybaby children freak out on him. Way to prove him wrong by taking the mature route of realizing that if you are under twenty and are not a loud mouthed know it all you are the exception, not the rule.

Its not really a bug. You were hit, lost blood and will remain unconscious until you get blood or a saline bag.

I got to call bullshit on this. I've never died in the mod from not finding food or drink. Not once. I've already starved to death or died from dehydration six times in twelve hours of playing and even broke down and did things I never would do in the mod like server hopping. This new setup practically demands kill on sight behavior if you're not lucky enough to log in after server restarts when there's loot to be had. I've never found anything but pants, hats, masks and weapons in Kamenka, Komorovo or Balota and have died multiple times of starvation just trying to find my first piece of food. I've also spawned, got my drink filled and moved north only to find completely looted houses where I starved to death. Jumped multiple servers only to find rotten food that made me sick and eventually died from that. I wouldn't mind the rarity of loot spawns if my character could live long enough to make it past Pavlovo without starving to death. Its a few kilometers from the coast. At this point my only options are killing everyone I see in the hopes that one of them has a can opener or non-rotten food or suicide to get a spawn on East coast where I've actually been able to find food. Most of the problems people like me have been facing are probably due to the time we log in. My friends that don't work are on in the mornings and seem to find whatever they need. By evening time there isn't anything to be had. Yesterday I actually found more M4s than food. That tells anyone playing what Rocket intends for me to do with my time.

Well, it is depressing but its part of the game. I always have a few moments of mourning for my lost gear as I head out freshly spawned but I always move on and find more. Today I logged out on top of a building as I was out of ammo, needing to go to work and saw a couple players making their way to the building I was in. I had wanted to hit the nearby woods and log out there but that wasn't a choice. When I logged back in I was five feet in the air and off the roof, fell to the ground and broke some bones. Shit happens.

It depends on how close to death you were and what you were doing in between eating those items.

There are also water pumps north west of the main intersection in kamarovo and another north of the market in Cherno. So far I have noticed that the old dayzdb map for the mod is still right about the pumps.

I'm ok with wipes but they are still a bummer when you've found an item you've never seen before, then never had a chance to use it before the wipe. Although now I'm kind of happy that defibrulator isn't taking so much room in my pack. I just really wanted to know what was used for in game.

Had some guy rush me with a hammer, pulled out my own hammer and after five seconds of us both swinging and missing like idiots I switched to my fists. The animation showed the hammer going through him but no hits so I wasn't sure if it worked or not. Fists definitely seem to knock out zombies better when I'm not relying on thw crosshairs.

I've gotten sick several times from who knows what. I was so desperate to live more than an hour that I drank and ate anything I could find. Tried to add a cooking pot to a Coleman stove then tried to add in some brown shoes I found. Didn't work but I would have eaten it if it did.

At this point I'm waiting for a friend to be able to meet up. I actually collected some decent things including empty bottles and am ok with laying unconscious until they can force feed some water down my throat. I thought I read that was possible, but not sure. Also, I found a water pump but there wasn't any animation or feedback to tell me if I was actually drinking anything. Hit it four or five times before I assumed it wasn't doing anything and moved on. Can you now drink from one without a bottle or was my day one experience correct that I was already drinking from it but no animations or feedback are in game yet? I couldn't tell from the notes Rocket posted whether that and the force feed was live or in testing.

Usually I'm crouched or walking while moving through towns. I also was pretty specific in saying I couldn't care less that other players have found loot. When I hit a town and every door is open on every building and they contain nothing it ends up with a wasted hour or more ending with me dying of dehydration. I guess my character, while looking fit, is actually a 500 lb smoker who can't walk more than a few miles without keeling over dead.

I wish they would change it to a six hour cycle so I didn't come home from work every day, see that its still light outside and log into night time in game. I don't think loot is too scarce its just that the hunger and thirst are out of control at the rates they cause unconscious. I found tons of loot so far, but have died from dehydration before I could find a container to get water in. I read that they are making it so you can drink from wells so that should help a ton. I wanted to add that the last two guns I have found were on other players' bodies that had pristine gear. I'm assuming they must have also died of dehydration because both had empty water bottles and no drinks.

If this were even close to the truth of the several lives I've lived I wouldn't be so bothered by it. Spawned in Kamenka, found absolutely nothing in any house I searched, went unconscious and died halfway through Komarovo after the two drinks I found did nothing. Respawned near Elektro, found more Payday masks then drinks. Once my vision went blurry I never found enough food or drink to stop it. Went unconscious and died searching houses for more drinks. Respawned near Balota, found nothing to drink went unconscious near the apartments north of the airfield less than an hour after spawning. Gonna stay logged out and unconscious until they patch it and I can get a friend to come force feed me something. There's also a very valid point to a person finding that the Alpha they bought is not just an Alpha but completely unplayable and wanting to complain. Alpha should not have the chance for a person to spawn and have zero chance of surviving their first hour when they are not even playing the game but desperately searching for drinks the entire time. If you lucked out and found enough to drink, great. If you spent your entire life not finding enough to keep yourself alive more than an hour I think that's a valid complaint. I'm not even mad, just bummed that it wasn't released in a playable state. Looking forward to some kind of update on this one so I can play my favorite game.

Way to fail horribly in making an analogy. Since you want to use Star Wars it would be more like if Han and Luke decided to gang rape Leia after they grouped up with her. Semantics can't hide your weakness. Carry on bandit wannabe.

I must admit it made me laugh out loud when some guy came at me on the beach. He started yelling 'don't move asshole!'. I had a flashlight and a battery so I laughed in direct chat. Since he was trying to shine his flashlight in my face I rushed him and my chickie beat his ass. Didn't plan on killing anyone but when you bring it you better be prepared to take it.

Betraying a person's trust is cowardice. Did you really just say that sucker punching someone isn't weak? I'm not against banditry because bandits help hero's do what they do best. What you did was the Dayz equivalent of the Knock Out Game.

Sweet. Nothing like finally getting to play a game you just bought! :)

Betrayal is always the easiest choice and a sign of weakness. A real homicidal bandit would have hunted them in the dark and smashed their heads in from behind. Instead of an adrenaline fueled story of epic murder in the night they will tell of yet another Dayz loser going for the easy kill. Instead of delicious panic you settled for baloney and cheese. Congratulations.

Sidu, you may not OC your card but pushing it past what it can handle can have the same effect. This can also happen if the card is old. Start by lowering every video option possible including the resolution. If it still happens check that your video driver is up to date. If all that is good and it runs fine on other games its either something that needs to be added to the tracker or your video card is trying to render something it cannot render. Sometimes installing your video drivers again as a clean install will help. Make sure you only install the main driver if its a package deal like what nvidia puts out.
