they dont

You server hop wayyyyy too much to have that many speedloaders...or you duped um.

HUSH YOU FOOL DO NOT LET THE OTHERS KNOW OF THE MAGICAL GUN SPAWN BUILDING

It only repairs to worn NO MATTER WHAT for now. DOES NOT WORK ON -backpack -no vests at all -shoes -helmets

No on back packs and protection vests (stab press) I think assault vests maybe

I want underwater caves to exist eventually and surrounding islands.

So most people are still trying to figure out what berry bushes look like or where to find them. Well don't bother, I can safely say after attempting 4-5 times that it just is NOT worth the trouble at ALL. You can easily run halfway across the map to an unlooted town before finding 3 berries from bushes then also be poison by said berries. Berry picking run down Pros - Possible food item Cons - More than half the time they make you sick - And 9/10 times you won't even find a single berry (I searched literally 10-15 bushes next to one another and nothing but 1 berry...and big surprise it made me sick) They may only make you a little sick, but the fact that you can try picking berries for over 5-10 minutes and get nothing or just a single one then get sick...its really not worth it. I can understand getting sick, but the fact that a big ole bush doesn't have a single berry out of 10+ bushes...kinda bullshit so ya. Just a warning to those who are curious about berries.

Already used sewing kit...it only renewed it back to worn status, though the kit was badly damaged. P.S YOU CAN NOT SEW STAB OR PRESS VESTS...or back packs...which is BS. P.S.S When will duct tape be a viable fixer honestly.... aint nobody got time to sew in the apocalypse duct tape that sucka

That and the fact most encounters are forced face to face....ya 3rd person lets people peek around a corner and talk to the person unaware, im pretty sure that is the main reason which is sort of like what you said.

You should be able to choose what other two items you can carry on your back it shouldn't be forced melee and gun, after all this game is trying to be all about authentic customization and crap sooo ya. P.S Straps would also be a realistic way to let us carry multiple guns....it would fit like the chest holster except you could actually wear your vest with it.

I don't know why they simply don't implement the system from the mod, you have to wait 30 seconds to log out simple as that, if you have an active ailment (bleeding/getting hit) it resets until it is stopped, also if a player/zombie/bullet was within a certain proximity BAM reset or unavailable... It was perfect, granted if something important IRL happened you would be screwed if in a hairy situation but that would be pretty rare.

Man- "Capitol idea my boy do tell me this idea" *Wink* Me- "It would be my pleasure" So, im sure all of you have found tons of books around the game but say...wow these are sooooo spectacularly...boring, and some have even went so far as to RP as book hermits....well. How bout this instead, wouldn't it be pretty awesome if books were actually useful? For example if you have ever played the sims, you could read books for 2 things, entertainment and knowledge. I think it would be AMAZING, if books could be implemented in a similar way in DayZ. You see, people have these things, called physical health, but also mental health. AAAAAaaand YEP you guessed it, being alone in a desolate zombie infested wasteland with murderous psychopaths....does not help your mental health. One of my other threads depicts a sort of intuition system which is essentially an alternative to morality but would still depend on something akin to mental health. (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162224-long-post-the-intuition-system-and-how-it-can-work-within-dayzsa-read-before-flaming/) HOW BOOKS WOULD BE USEFUL Simple, just like lack of food and water make your physical health go away, lack of mental interaction makes your mental health go away, now as we all know reading isn't something you can just do in 5 seconds, (same with pooping YOU LISTENING? PAY ATTENTION DEVS POOPING BETTER NOT BE A 5 SECOND ANIMATION). So naturally you would need to find a safe place and to read. Ideally I would like to see the books be like Bethesda game books; as in have excerpts from them to read to entertain the player. "Well shit I'll just have my character look at the book then AFK BOOM I BEAT YOUR SYSTEM". N-word Joe PLEASE. As if it would be that easy. HOW BOOKS WOULD OPERATE (If they actually had stuff to read and not just a timed animation) Scenario: You are in the woods you have a book and you are low on psyche, so you sit down open the book and begin reading, this particular book has 5 pages to "read" (different books have different amounts of pages and therefore more useful/useless). So you sit down and just have your character stare at the page, well guess what after about 2 minutes you soaked up all the useful mental juice from that 1 or 2 pages that your character has been staring at. Now you have to flip the page, to get the next bit of mental juice from the next page or set of pages. Now you could just sit there for the 2 minutes but why not partake in the immersion. Alright so you read all of "Around the World in 80 dayz" good good, now you can keep that book for later for when you are low on mental health BUT it WILL have diminishing returns, the more times you look at the same page the less psyche you get from it, also you can get "stuffed" with mental entertainment too so people don't just grind book reading. NOW REMEMBER THIS IS DAYZ EACH LIFE IS JUST THAT ITS OWN LIFE, so when you die your accumulated book knowledge dies as well so you can then go read the same books without worrying about diminishing returns. BUT there in lays the double edged sword. Say you have been alive FOREVER, and you read all the books you can find...as many times as you can...uh oh...I guess that means you will just have to...DUN DUN DUUUUN...talk to people, or atleast hang around them or something dealing with interaction. Of course there are like 30 different books in the game and you wouldn't need to read a book as often as food I would say mental health can be filled at twice the rate and diminish at half the rate of mental health. Allowing it to add a layer but not be over cumbersome, so breath that sigh of relief hermits, not to mention if they add music or other forms of mental health items besides books. WHY A MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM WOULD IMPROVE GAME INTERACTION As stated above, its simple and requires really only 2 things to satisfy, books/entertainment item, and human interaction. This will do two awesome things that will make the game a better experience. 1. People will actually be more likely to interact and try to make friends with people creating a more tribe like society (keyword being society) in the game (the way clans and groups of friends are already doing, but this system gives the new players and such an outlet to find others instead of browsing forums for teams). 2. The system has an alternative for the anti social built in, as the topic title states you can just use books or any other type of entertainment item they decide upon to keep mentally healthy instead of talking to people (introverted preferences be praised). SURPRISE 3. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY it gives players another "stat" or "system" to maintain and another layer of survival. Side note: I think I saw record in the game too...so imagine being able to listen to music to also satisfy your sanity, then when radios are added...imagine being able to be your servers very own DJ who plays classical music 24/7 as people murder eachother and kill zombies. Not to mention being a DJ broadcasting music will help keep people sane (for those who have radios of course) so all you hero players out there would have something to strive for if you are seeking to help as many as possible. Also you all know it would be fun to go book collecting too see what each one has to say. It fits so perfectly with the loot addiction this game already has. P.S ya the title as you may have noticed just scratched the surface of possibilities but the main point is to say how cool it would be to add a mental health system that reflects the physical health system where you need to manage it just like your food and hunger needs. P.S.S I want actions such as boiling water, and especially pooping to TAKE TIME, like a minute or 30 seconds AT LEAST, because garsh darn it I wanna catch people with their pants down (literally) and or punch them in the stomach while they poop to see if it knocks them out or put fresh spawns under the person pooping and make them lie there for more than 5 seconds and FEEL THE SHAME THE DIRTY BROWN SHAME!!!!

You die from starvation pretty fast...when in reality it can take days,not too mention how you can die of starvation so fast while hydrated...ya that is brilliant. Then I was looking at the food intake, eating like 5 cans a beans and a whole box a cereal in one go...makes me "healthy,ya it shouldn't be like that at all. Food should be needed on occasion and eating a ton in one sitting should mess them up. I could understand if the game day/night cycle wasn't real time...and it wasn't trying to be hardcore realistic....but it is, and the fact that hunger is just bonkers kinda irks the crap out of me. Oh and the fact that SODA hydrates you....yaaaaaa um...what? It should act more like the dry foods it should give you good energy but decrease your water level.

Shit just goes full circle, also you used a gif to respond...im honored. Also most of my posts were from back in 2012 when mod came out.

hope the game improves so pvp is just one of the many things to do....most post apocalypti stories have a group of people working towards something whether its rebuilding or making a new society there is alwyas more than just sensless killing. I hope optional objectives are given all around the map eventually so there is actually stuff to do.

You know will a guy with a talon backpack ever be able to out run a mountain backpack hermit? Just curious cause I don't know if they said that weight and such was going to be a thing.

thats why this game needs work 90% of people would not realistically say YOLO they would comply....

it was prob beating due 2 adrenaline due to the possibility u would fail and have to start all over again

any links for proof?

I think right now it only has a base time of 30 seconds right? I really hope they give that proximity effect like in the mod where if a bullet or person came within a certain proximity the timer would reset. That would be nice or if you were actively bleeding.

here some end of the world training tips as a woman http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/27/10-reasons-lift-weights-vagina_n_4647073.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

You should be able to disable a gun though you no pop the chambering system or whatever they do in the movies out to prevent the gun from firing properly. Would be nice if we could "disable" guns and lay them as traps or when handing them over. Or something IDK.

Sooo am I the only one not able to un-dead myself? I saw the new pending update and when i went on dayz I saw my version was only available to test servers so I assume I downloaded the beta patch, anyway whenever i try one, im constantly dead. Is the beta patch not up yet? Or it is and its just broken or something?

Ya IDK why they are focusing on server hoppers FFS they need to fix combat logging first.

All you need is rope...and a car, and to make it extra terrifying lets add in the burlap sack. They would have to keep pace or be dragged MUHAAHAHA This video is of course a silly example, but imagine upping the speed....mmm yes. And remember kids they plan on implementing rag doll physics mmmmm yeeeeeees. Like the post to "fund it" lol
