It should be realistic rather than just 'Oh, red and Green Plants, I can have full blood!', more of 'Oh look, Plantago major, I can make a tea to cure my diarrhea, or coat my bite wounds with it to retard infection.'
-
Not quite sure if its a bug or not but I bypass it by hitting respawn, waiting for it to say 'ready' but not load, then log out and log back in.

Improvised Firearms, and some thoughts on night vision.
IkaikaKekai replied to yessaul robinovich's topic in General Discussion
The SKS does not (or shouldn't rather) use .22 LR. I'm somewhat against Improvised firearms, especially just 'crafting on' some metal bits out in the woods and making it work. Most nailguns have safeguards (admittedly by passable) to hinder them from being used as a ranged weapon. Now placing one against a zombie/bandit's head and putting a, or several large roofing nail(s) in the brain however... I really like the idea of flareguns not just as signaling devices but as weapons. There are some 12 gauge flareguns out there (just saying, could also have the chance to shoot flares out of conventional shotguns as well). -
Not really other than double check your sound system, make sure it's plugged in and turned on if it needs to be and all that stuff. Maybe check settings as well to see if you've got something muted.

Find a book you've heard about but never read and sit down in a cabin somewhere and read?

2. Are they invisible or are there just not any around? If they aren't around then someone's killed them already (they don't currently respawn until a restart). 3. Are you right/left clicking or using the middle mouse wheel (need to 'click' with the mouse wheel), if it still doesn't work use F to do the action. 4. Has your character reset since you changed your default, or is it still alive. You need to 'die' before the default takes place, IE you can't change from a black woman to a white man on the same life. 5. Not unless you have a radio.

Ramen is actually a Japanese take on a Chinese noodle...it gets complicated. Basically yes it's Japanese. And there's hundreds of different types of noodles, mostly the difference is what they're made out of or how they're prepared.

You'd have to ask the new guy that, he's in charge of putting in all that stuff, think his name's Gabe or something.
-
Think warm/hot food and drinks should be applied, while I'd like them to give a little mental boost so to speak I can't think of a system to implement that, possibly also raise body temp slightly.

Hey now, don't go putting words in my mouth. My beard still punishes me for shaving it every day...
-
And it will be glorious! I shall bathe in the tears of the CODlers.

1. Sock Monkeys 2. MOTHERFUCKING SOCK MONKEYS! But to get back on track, there's many other things that should be at the top of the to do list, I don't belive these are two of them. They'll get to them in time.

Way to identify how many people a person has killed.
IkaikaKekai replied to Piglettron's topic in Suggestions
Not very realistic, first of all, unless they're walking around in short shorts and a tshirt you won't be able to see any tally marks. Second, I don't like automatic ANYTHING being applied based on kills. For all you know the guy could have just been attacked 20 times and always came out on top. There's going to be no easy way to identify weather people are bandits or heroes, get used to it, do what I do and avoid EVERYONE. -
Your talking about taking a piece of Iron and making a working car engine with very limited tools...I really don't know if you're trolling or just that naive. Realism is the key in DayZ, we're not gonna be able to just craft stuff from (literal) raw materials. Watch this, this is a guy who knows what he's doing, has all the equipment he needs (which we won't have in the zombie apoc) and has a peice of prepared metal already and it took him quite a few hours to just make a tomahawk. (I plan on buying one of these from him btw) http://youtu.be/PIhJVPu7PG4

Never found one to experiment with myself, would imagine its a 'magazine'/clip for the shotgun. Might be a bug, might be intended, we probably won't know till the next patch.
-
I prefer the Axes myself mostly because I'm a zombie killer. If knives did the same or similar damage to an Ax I would probably pack one and a 'less than lethal' weapon to deal with players (bat/shovel, ect), if they ad in that the melee weapons have other purposes (shovel for digging, crowbar for prying, ect) that would probably affect my decision to pick a weapon.

One day, they'll find dead bandits and spawn killers bodies on the coast, highlighted with their own flashlights, and their pants missing, with a book placed in their inventory such as 'Crime and Punishment.' Or 'A Vindication of the Rights of Women' if they were one of thous jackasses that pretend to rape female chars.
-
From my understanding, when they get zombies working properly, zombies won't respawn if there's players nearby. So as in the mod where if you had a backpack full of Lee ammo in the middle of cherno and didn't miss one shot, the zombies would keep respawning faster than you could kill all of them with the diner bell. SA will be so that if you clear a town it will stay cleared (not counting wandering zombies) at least until you left the area.
-
Another good one. Wonder if they'll ever add Journy to the West, I got a copy IRL but it's (very) poorly translated. Good, more for us...One of these Lives after I get fully hydrated and fed I'll just get a melee weapon and a pack and go around picking up books I want to read. I can hear the bandit that finds me reading in a cabin and kills me and finds one can of food, a bottle of water, and baseball bat, and a mountain pack full of books already.
-
"God damn, why wont they die?" Because you're hitting them in the legs...Stand and fight, go for the head or upper torso.
-
He's covering his bases (and rightly so, everything he says is taken out of context by someone somewhere at all times). I remember a while ago (this was before Everest I think, hell this might have been back when they wanted to release 'by the end of December' in 2012) he talked about pushing out at least a minor update every week. He was a bit ambitious back then and I think now he knows he can't just push stuff out so he's being careful with what he says. If they push out a 'major' update every month and minor bugfixes whenever they're ready and stable I'd be alright with it.
-
No joke, found two copies of it (separate lives of course) but never had a chance to read either. I even went to a used bookstore IRL to try and pick up a copy, couldn't find it.

Pretty sure bows, crossbows, and fishing will be added in to Standalone. Mining? Mining is rather counterproductive to surviving, as you use a lot of energy and resources for very little gain in comparison. (Assuming you have a yard) go out into your yard with a shovel. Start digging. You'll probably need a pickax eventually, but let me know when you find iron ore or anything useful (buried pipes and cables do not count). Okay skip all that, now you've got a chunk of iron ore...or at least you think it's iron ore...now what? This isn't Minecraft where you can make a forge out of rocks and just toss charcoal inside and you'll have a nice shiny iron ingot free of impurities and ready to work into something usable, which is a whole other set of tools and resources. What are you going to make now that you have some iron? A gun? A sword?
