Exactly above, people will just kill themselves till they get a military loadout.

The .44 Mag isn't the only cartridge that is shared by pistols/revolvers and rifles. Most of the examples I can think are western, but everything from the humble .22LR (which is confirmed with the 10/22) to even the 5.56 NATO is used in some 'pistols' (I use the word loosely in this case) and Rifles. There are 9mm (Luger) Carbines, not to mention SMGs, and even the .357 and .45LC is used interchangeably in some 'cowboy' guns (revolvers and lever actions)

Was going to say, didn't he say a while ago that his plan was to eventually step down from DayZ and start another game (not sure if it was a joke or serious about a mountain climbing simulator)?

I would suggest this kid's next kickstarter be to go to community college, take remedial English and business classes, as well as an economics class. I haven't even seen what his game is suppose to look like but that SHOULD help him right there.

I need to see this for myself, I need a good laugh. Mind PMing the link? I assume you didn't link it in the post for a reason. Never mind, I forgot Google existed for some reason. Will post my response momentarily. Oh god...my sides...okay so your first goal is to make the game available to all the consoles at 300k? BUT I only get a FREE copy of the game if I pay $100 or more? OMFG they're only going to have patches if they reach $1,000,000? Okay...are these guys really in college? This seams more like a highschool level project. I couldn't even finish watching the video, so much clipart and stock photo.

If they did add a meltdown nuke plant, there would probably be no zombies as they would/should die from radiation poisoning if it happened AFTER Z Day, or there would be no humans to infect if it happened BEFORE Z Day. I also don't see why it should have 'better' or more loot, as Chernobyl was pretty much just a civilian town, not a military base, they dropped what they were doing and GTFO. Plus, most of the loot there would be irradiated, so screw eating any food or wearing any clothes you found there. Now that said, lets say they do add a nuke plant, but that before everything went tits up they managed to do a proper shut down so it wouldn't melt down. I could still see there still being a few irradiated areas (namely waste storage, perhaps an easier way to get to the loot but with high risk of radiation) as well as a bit of zombies (guarding the non radioactive spots). The loot would probably be somewhere between Police and Military type loot for the plant itself, as well as industrial stuff for crafting/repairs when that gets implemented.

First, these are not undead zombies, they are living infected, meaning a shot to the heart will kill them same as a shot to the head. Zombies are currently being redone so we don't know how they'll behave till their patch gets pushed to at least experimental, and we don't have a solid timeframe for that (it'll be ready when it's ready). That being said there are different zombies that wear different clothes, things will be hashed out as things go on. The incurable infection would be a no go, but it will be likely when different sicknesses are implemented we can catch different diseases from them. Currently it seams zombies do attract other nearby zombies when they attack, or it could just be the noise you make from fighting the one zombie.

I believe it was said by rocket (I do NOT have a source but believe it was on this forums somewhere) that the street lights and such being on are 'bugged', meaning they shouldn't be on. In the Mod for a while all the street lights were on till they were 'fixed' in the next patch so it has happened before. AFAIK the only powerplant in Chenarus is in Electro, which would have shut down by now with no one working it. There's several possible ways that could explain the occasional streetlight being on aside from simply saying 'its bugged'. One of which is the possibility they have small solar cells and battery backups (unlikely but possible), or just battery backups and timers/sensors to turn on and off (more likely but still they would probably have run down by now). To get back on the original track, yes, there should be a lot of distraction sounds to use against zombies/players. That 'phantom chain fence' noise should not be phantom, when a player/zombie goes up against a chain fence or walks over a downed one it should make the noise. I don't know if car alarms are prevalent in post Soviet countries but they could still be viable. I think throwing items should definitely make noise, IE throwing a rock/brick at a fence or window, or a bottle or can to attract the zombies to it.

Aye, shoot him in the leg when he acts up.

Could be said about 99.999% of FPS games we enjoy (D-Day, Stalingrad, Pearl Harbor). It's probably considered more taboo because its actively going on and 'we' can see it in our livingrooms, or more accurately in this day, on our phones.

Only on private hives, and even then they won't be fully PVE, assholes will still join them despite white listing and kill as many people as they can before they get banned, probably even lie and say 'they shot me first I only defended myself'. Unless there's a feature where player damage can be turned off completely, as in you can headshot someone all day and you'll just be wasting ammo, there will never be full PVE.

These are otherwise known as speeders (at least in the US). They can run from very complex to as simple as a you have linked to. One we use at HRS is basically a Picnic table with flagged wheals and an old car engine hooked up to em. We also have a 1 cylinder engine speeder that can get pretty up there with speed. Most of these are fairly light, as they're meant for Maintenance of Way workers to use and get out of the way of regular rail traffic. I've seen one of these where two met on the tracks and stopped, one group took the bamboo platform off, picked up the motor, and picked the wheels off the track to allow the other to pass. Our speeders could be easily derailed by hand and pushed out of the way without disassembly. EDIT Usually not a good idea to bitch at mods when your post is questionable to say the least. As he said they can't screen every post for objectionable content, many rape posts have been buried/deleted, but for some reason a vocal minority would like this to be a rape simulator instead of a hiking simulator and derail several posts. I would give the advice the Amazing Horse has given in the past, if you have an issue with a Mod, take it up with another Mod or a Green Text mod such as Boneboys.

Rice doesn't simply absorb water, so mold would be a possible problem. If it did you could 'cook' rice by leaving a pot of it out on a humid day or by simply pouring water into a bag of rice, you can't. I believe items that get wet will have different conditions on them as the game progresses, IE jumping into a river or lake with your flashlight on it'll ruin the flashlight and battery. If you get your radio wet while it's turned off you'll have to wait for it to dry it to turn it on again without it shorting out and ruining itself. Sealed things shouldn't be too affected, IE putting items in protector case (I know of one brand called OtterBox in real life and is waterproof) will protect them from getting wet. Putting things in a pack should protect them slightly, IE a Damp backpack won't have any effect on the items inside, a wet backpack might have some items be damp, and a soaking backpack will have wet items, so on and so fourth.

They need to add Casio, Trumpets, and Accordions to DayZ, we have TKSO pants and jackets, not to mention the black beret already.

Nope. Also, the default char thing only applies to your next character/spawn. It won't change your current one. IE you can't gear up as a white woman, log out, then change to a Hispanic male and log in as a Hispanic male. The char changing/defaulting to a female is a known bug, but easily fixed.

Hmm, alright well even damaged and badly damaged lights should function.

What condition was the flashlight in? If it's ruined it wont work. Also try taking the flashlight off and using it as just a handheld (I do that often when I find one). If it works by itself then I would say definitely a bug report is in order.

I'd actually wait on that till you're bleeding, your tshirt provides a (very) small amount of protection.

Put your battery into your flashlight. Next you should make sure there isn't a heavily armed person lurking around waiting to kill you, then start looking for gear in nearby houses.

Yeah, it's not boarding Ukraine, though there's a few similarities between the two, as they both boarder Russia and are Post Soviets (I'm still a bit fuzzy about the Arma2 Story, but from what I remember it almost sounds like the same thing is happening, or heading in that direction with Ukraine) I'd agree that it's not politically correct, but a lot of things aren't, we should still learn from them (be nice if thous in power would learn how not to repeat the same mistakes that lead it this far but...).

Never used to be able to attache the w.light to the .45 before, must be new. Never had an M4 with the right hand guard and a w.light at the same time so don't know if they worked before or not.

If you can reproduce it definitely report it. If not it might have just been a far away sniper or another bug. I hear that if you're in a tall enough building and you desync there's a chance you 'fall' through the floor and take damage without actually falling.

Before they released, Rocket said something about zombies fighting each other, said he wasn't sure if it was a Bug or a Feature. Probably not the same thing, but it would make sense. I just hope they don't 'fix' it as it would be something interesting. Maybe they won't make it so zombies start turning on each other but maybe fight over a body, or simply kill each other as they try to break down a door, sort of like when people get trampled during a panic.
