Don't get attached to your gear, this game isn't really about surviving, it's about dying.

Edit: Misunderstood the title, my apologies.

That will happen when you post up in the middle of a field.

I know nothing about programming, but I feel like the system they have in place is a lot more complex than if they had raw input. I don't really get it either.. then again I don't get bloom, rotation blur, god rays, the eating sounds, walking up hills et cetera....

Yeah, there are heroes, myself and clan included that do not patronize or make assumptions about players, we often encounter fresh spawns, ask them if they want/need anything and usually we are heading our separate ways within 10-20 seconds it seems. We spend most of the time in the tree line simply watching people, waiting for bandits to show up. Never really understood the "Let me force feed you all my food and water, and shove 'help' down your throat" approach.

A bit better than that. However don't get down on yourself. I think that because DayZ can be very stressful and emotion-provoking, in a way it encourages us to act in extremes, and I for one also end up doing stupid things too. It can be hard to stay patient when you're heart is racing and your hands are shaking, but I'm learning after many many hours that slow and steady usually comes out on top. Also, having the high ground can be pretty beneficial. Cheers

You're on the right track, don't let the KoSers get you down. Orlok is absolutely right that killing everyone is pretty unimaginative and pretty lame, I'll take it a step further and say it's pretty cowardly as well. Remember, the path to righteousness is not an easy one.

This has happened to me before, I'm not sure why or how to fix it necessarily, but when I have exited the game and relaunched it from steam it seems to be OK. Or have you already tried?

Isn't the most updated change-log always on the first page? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/177017-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-042116002/ at the bottom of the first post it said it was edited on March 7th. ...I could've missed something though, I have before...or perhaps I don't understand your question. Cheers.

I imagine the game will become more of a survival simulator when more content gets added. Also, more guns and ammo types will mean more searching before you find a weapon and bullets that are compatible (hopefully). Furthermore, there probably WILL BE dedicated PVP servers at somepoint, but hopefully those will be private hives that are not linked to the public (survival) servers.

If only it would be possible to carry enough food and water to not die on that trek... Here's to crawling uphill...

Great show. LIAM NEESONS AND BRUCE WILLIES!!!! THATS MY JJJJAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!

Cheers. It's pretty easy, and pretty lame to shoot everything that moves, it takes a lot of bravery to let someone live.

So, I haven't gotten to the end of the video, I am just really really hoping that at 3:10 or so, when some guy says "everyone off the boat", that about a dozen people just hop the rail and fall 30 feet to their death. Also, hilarious so far.

At this time, I don't think so. In the future, I think yes.

First time I died in SA was via shovel. 'Twas a scary night in the apartments north of cherno.

I feel like any domesticated horses would be long since eaten, shot, starved to death, de-hydrated to death, or something. Maybe finding one or two wild-ish ones up north would be cool. Either kill em for food or spend several hours trying to make it your bitch. I think bikes make more sense.

Does for me.

People who make polls and try to lump everyone into broad groups... But seriously, the first 6 groups.

Also, who is able to read a book AND scan an area for potential threats. Sounds like someone gets bored waiting for fresh spawns to kill...

This...I've known people who switch between left and righty for a few things, but as far as I know it's very uncommon and seems sorta weird. Having random "handedness" would be cool though.

I think the number of ways to die, natural and otherwise should be as extensive as the Dev's can/want to make it. IMO more causes of death the merrier!

It's not a bad idea, but personally I don't find switching between the two very time consuming or much of a pain.
