I doubt it'll happen but would be cool. So long as ammo in the tank was very limited and maybe certain systems didn't work and or couldn't be operated by the likes of us, (e.g. broken turret, governed speed) or something. Otherwise it could be pretty OP.

Good point, but imagine playing at night and literally stumbling upon one, just to look down and see a bloody mess of arms and teeth grabbing at you from below, could be sorta scary and pretty atmospheric.

Gews, thank you so much for posting this info, hopefully it's addressed and changed soon.

If anyone would like to vote on this issue, someone started a bug tracker thread here: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=8262

Yup

Just had a similar problem, have never had frames at a constant 1-5 fps..but that's what happened.

But Dayz is not.

Dude, I wish I could give you double beans.

Have thought about it too, I don't think it's a bad idea, but could wait till the end of development IMO.

You are correct. I imagine this will be addressed sometime in the near future. Till then, turn down sensitivity and turn off smoothing, re wire your brain to get used to it, don't worry, just when you adjust to things like this it will be changed. Good luck!

AWESOME!

Yeah, but there's already been loads of topics, not to say its not an issue anymore though...private hives will make a big difference. at least in a person's ability to flank by hopping on another server, then back to the original one. Combat logging will ALWAYS be an issue..I think.

^ hogwash, very little in this game is truly realistic, maybe just ballistics, but given the m4's accuracy...eh... KoS- I'd love to see your sources. I think you might be onto something but it's heavily dependent on social context. as well as cognitive functioning of the individual. Many would experience shock after killing another human, even if it was "justified".

No way to keep it charged either, unless power plants are being run by zombies. Although seeing how almost every building has a PC in it, finding some other destroyed electronics wouldn't be so far fetched.

This I have a hybrid drive on my comp. 750gb w/ 8gb ssd cache. It's fine, but if you have the funds for a decent size SSD I would do that, they're pretty great .

Seriously? That is absolutely dreadful and probably one of the only things that I REALLY WANT FIXED. There is even a button in the options menu to turn it on and off, but no matter how you click the button it stays on. The button however seems to say "hey we're going to make this a feature, it's just not implemented yet." ...but it's never going to change?

Hate it, hated it in the mod, hate it in the standalone.

Also, Zee_Panda your story sounds scary as shit. Glad I wasn't in that scenario.

A few hours after release, I found myself scrambling through the apartments north of balota. The darkness swallowed me, so I used a flashlight to look around, Had a backpack, m4, food, drink, medkit etc. All of a sudden I hear the soft pitter patter of footsteps nearby, very nearby, turn around just in time to see a masked player crouch running towards me with a shovel in his hand, and a very evil look in his eye. Instinct told me to run, I already knew that trying to get out my gun would take far too long, so I booked it past him, but he got me on the way past and I began to bleed. I make it outside and start trying to get away, but bleeding and being brightly lit made me pretty easy to follow and finish off. I gained enough ground to switch to my primary, turned around and sprayed just as the last blow connected with my face and I fell unconscious. There I stayed for quite a while, I left my comp to go get a snack or somethin, came back maybe 20 minutes later, still knocked out, but I hear voices, only bits and pieces of conversation. Somebody asking if I was one of their guys, he sounded frantic. Then a new voice. "Hang....man...try.. bandage..." about 15 seconds later, I was dead. It was fantastic, and I don't think I'll ever forget it. Many games can induce anger, but it's very rare to find a game like DayZ which allows forces your emotions to run the gamut. It's great.

Is it one of the apartments north of balota/cherno? Cause I ended up there in my first ever SA life, took me a while but by running and jumping and just moving enough I was able to get out. Or just join one of the servers that resets you on the coast, last I check NY 4-94 was a server like that, but maybe it's fixed now.

Danny, I'm also not sure which effects are implemented yet and which are out, but check these out: http://dayzdb.com/guides/mechanics Might give you rough idea of how much and of what you need to eat/drink to get your energy up to the threshold necessary to start regeneration.

Not sure, perhaps PM one of the mods on this site, they'll know what to do I think. Cheers to you for not broadcasting how to use this hack, nice to see someone using discretion.

Yeah, sadly you pretty much either have to do what Farsight says and remain unseen, always. Or you have to kill them before they can kill you. Yes there are times when people are friendly, no, people don't always KoS. But I feel your frustration, you spend x number of hours killing zeds and finding the things you need to survive, finally find another living person and they immediately shoot you in the face. The kill on sight mentality sure seems to get more prevalent with every instance of it's occurrence, and it isn't hard to see why.

Been wondering the same thing, it would be like blood doping instead of getting a legit transfusion, which I'm totally down with, never have to worry about going into hemolytic shock.

Server description shows where it's from, many in the US have state abbreviations (NY, CA, TX, AZ, MO, IL etc.) some just say US though. Depending on where you live you may have to adjust your filters to allow servers with higher pings to show up in your list. With regards to night/day I'm not really sure how to find day servers, probably 95% of all playing I have done so far has been at night, it's great and all, but I think my character is getting low on vitamin D. So, sorry I can't help you out in that area.
