Can't explain it. Last two melee kills I got on zombies were white dot on the head and 2 hits they went down.

Just picked up a 30 round mag ontop of/under the seat of a wrecked UAZ. No more chambering for me, and I can stay very far away from the death traps and PVP fields. Just need to find a second mag now. And yes .22 ammo itself is pretty common in civilian buildings.

Yes, its broken, the hotfix made it so that you hit what you aim at, rather than what your weapon's swing runs into. So crosshair on the head will hit the head. Not the best solution in my mind but it's a quick and temporary fix, which is fine with me.

Whacking a propane tank with an ax after using all my ammo on it and 2 zombies were beating on me. I wanted to restart.

Would be nice if they added the 'hunter's scopes' they've been talking about for a while, as well as some more civilian attachments. Like an ammo pouch for the buttstock that can store say 1-2 stacks of bullets or magazines. I'd also like to see a 'rail addon' for civilian weapons that would allow to mount most of the 'military' stuff (bipod, flashlight, the Milspec sights)

That'd actually be pretty useful, especially with all the similarly named public servers.

Just...no. That'd be horrible, you'd be going around seeing tons of zombies with = s for faces, or anti Israel/Gaza/Ukraine/Russia slogan/picture #Craze. EDIT And think of the media bullshit that'd come out of that. "This just in, the hot new game where you kill your friends in order to survive. Should it be outlawed? Will this lead to another Sandyhook?"

Wait till the WEEKLY maintenance is over.

They're called International Building Codes for a reason (though you always go with the more strict rule) and there's all sorts of stipulations (IE a Hotel room opens inward to keep the hallway from being blocked, but public rooms would have to open outward). This has been brought up before, I can't remember what the consensus was but I would guess the doors open outward in game because in the mod players would get their legs broken or even killed when they got caught between a wall and door when it swung open and they never got around to fixing/changing it.

For the Standalone: No. For the Mod: Yes, there's resources on this forums and elsewhere (I would recommend Google or the search feature)

I'd be a little suspicious about buying a 'license', but I'm not involved in servers of any kind. For right now the Devs will not release server files as a security measure, and probably won't till Release or maybe even later.

I would think it's an eventuality, weather it's at the end of the year as he would like, or later when he feels confidant DayZ can float without him.

*Plants grenade under body, pulls pin, body despawns, spoon springs up* "Awww...Fuc-"*BOOM*

Would be interesting if they are still going to add in Utes, though that might lead to clans hording vehicles on islands. Not sure if the engine could currently handle this either, since right now people can't 'roam' around vehicles, but again they are making changes to the engine so it might be possible.

More maps will come, whether they are made by BI or player made. Rocket has mentioned wanting to do a more 'Western' map, though that was before he announced he was going to step down, but it'll probably still happen.

We won't see cars in the next update. It's been confirmed that the first vehicles they'll add to SA are bikes. So even if they released vehicles in the next patch (which is highly doubtful) that's a no.

Pretty sure you can't put your tent in/on buildings or in trees like the 'good' ole days. I don't see much point at the moment since persistent storage isn't working yet. Besides, I'm not telling a bandit like you where I put my super awesome Tent Fort.

Dynamic server events are temporarily disabled I'd take that as a no.

Oh god that thing is sweet. It only saddens me that a 1928 was sacrificed to make a 1911 even more awesome.

I would think they wouldn't fear fire (unless of course they got too close), I would think they would even be attracted to fire. If basic instincts are still a factor in the infected, they would associate fire with warmth and safety. *EDIT* @Jester: Weren't the Zombies in the first Night of the Living Dead afraid of fire to a point? Though now I'm having difficulty remembering if they set the chair on fire to scare them away or draw them away from something else.

Nice idea, would be good when we can barricade buildings.

Sad to say, but when it comes to clans, they're going to use teamspeak/skype/vent some other VIOP rather than an unsecure comms system that anyone with a radio can listen in on. And you're right, most walkie talkies can only use programmed channels rather than frequencies, but the ones we have in the game have a frequency rather than a channel, so they're already more like actual radios. Communications and Music are normally on very different ranges of frequencies. IE I can't take my clock radio and listen in on HPD's dispatch channel like a police scanner (though sometimes it did get overpowered by CB radios when they got within 50 feet of my house going up/down the road), of course the FCC or your local equivilant isn't around anymore so we get survivors setting up radio stations ALA Fallout 3. I would imagine that since the current radios we have are labeled 'Walkie Talkies' this leaves room for actual radios (As in a transmitter/receiver) and 'music' radios (receiver only) as you wish. It'll probably happen, but it's a lower priority at the moment since there's no persistent storage or bases and someone would have to schelp around a radio for the clan to use.

It does too, the walkies we use at my workplace has the National Weather Service programmed onto one of the very last channel. While you might not be able to get a walkie as loud as say a boombox, they aren't exactly soft.

Yep, pretty much all being worked on or on the way. And they want to do exactly that with walkietalkies, you can turn it on, turn the volume up and place it on the ground. It will not only broadcast everything on that channel in the area, but if you set it to constantly transmit, you'll be able to hear everything going on in that area on your walkie as well. So you can use it to set up traps for players or to say monitor your campsite. *EDIT* There will also be internet radio stations that we can pick up on the ingame radios, but that's not for a bit. Maybe not till late beta or even release. But we never know when there'll be delays or breakthroughs.

When it's ready, the Wednesday following that will be the update. Could be as soon as next week, could be a month or more from now. They're tackling a lot right of the heavy stuff right now (Navmesh, persistent storage, ect), I would think when one of those are ready they'll push it to stable, then fix any MAJOR bugs that resulted in that.
