it seems when someone uses a blood bag on me, i get full health back so why would anyone go through the hassle of finding out blood types, harvesting blood etc to get a blood bag to use?
-
you can heal with food, but it takes a long time, at least an hour, of keeping yourself well fed and watered. you cant just eat 5 steaks and be full blood
-
thats what i mean, why would anyone bother with that risk when they can just use a saline bag, which seem more common
-
i found 2, couldnt get them to work with a friend
-
me and my friend found walkie talkies, how do you use them? as im posting this i dont think i tried putting batteries in....but im not sure
-
cant remember where i found the first one, but the second one was in elektro fire station i ditched mine so wont be able to try it with batteries :(

How can we make a players life more important than his gear?
monolith1985 replied to knawx's topic in General Discussion
i also find that the time spent walking and going places is more important than my gear would rather spend half my night to get robbed, then spend half my night to be back where i started i think passive skills like being able to walk longer without getting tired, cooked food filling you more if you cook alot, repairing cars slightly faster, would be ok, as long as you cant get combat skills that make you more accurate and so on -
no auto snipers please I'm definitely voting more towards civilian side for weapons, with an occasional military low grade weapon the winchester should make a return more pistols and shotguns, maybe a smg/machine pistol, to provide more close quarter battles. also traps and throwables like a molotov

Homeless Simulator 2014 (because too few zombies)
monolith1985 replied to alleycat's topic in General Discussion
I spent my first couple of days on the south coast, killed a few zombies here and there, not many in electro or cherno, but went to berezino tonight and always had a few after me, even after killing some. maybe more spawn the more north you travel? -
Feature to really help combat logging.
monolith1985 replied to Indickua's topic in General Discussion
i thought SA already features an AI bot anti combat log system My game crashed earlier, and my friend watched my character walk away from the shore, across the main road and halfway up a hill before disappearing as i was logging back in. And when i came back, i spawned in on the hill, not where my game crashed. -
Sick, and now? I've many choiche, but nothing seems work
monolith1985 replied to Susp's topic in General Discussion
i used the alcohol, and got sick, twice. the second time i used charcoal tabs, and my sickness went from yellow to orangey red. think im gonna die lol -
How much does it take to become well fed?
monolith1985 replied to nerfed's topic in New Player Discussion
you should be well fed, but binge eating wont restore blood like in the mod, you just have to eat and drink regularly and you will recover blood slowly over time -
you need a magazine, and then you can combine the bullets with that, then the mag with the gun. i was lucky to find 2 pistols and 3 mags tonight :D on a different note, if you get sick, is it just antibiotics that can cure you? or is there any other item(s), or is it possible for it to go away?
-
how do you use the saline? i have the saline iv starter kit, which im guessing is 2 parts, but do i need anything else in it? couldnt right click on it, or scroll while in hands
-
Standalone not seeing door open/close option
monolith1985 replied to puppetmaster11's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
yeah rocket said you have to filter to that number, as the rest are running the old version and you cant open doors in it -
i believe the right click zoom is actully named "hold breath" and should be under gun controls
-
so i seen this in the options and decided to set my controls to arma style controls, as i felt this helped with knowing how to do stuff i used to do in the mod but couldnt do with dayz controls. plus i use a controller (feeling the hate lol) and it just helped with the mapping. but i found my hotbar wasnt set anymore, even though the number keys were still free/empty to use so i was wondering what other people have chosen? new controls, ,or arma controls, and any tweaking used. hoping i havnt missed anything important in my mapping, but il prob study the new controls tomorrow
-
kept finding nothing but junk, rotten fruit, books etc. then i found a payday wolf mask never played payday thought the idea of putting crazy clothing in dayz was stupid but when i found that mask i felt like i had found something good, so i kept it, and wear it :D
-
i thought i was having this problem, but didnt realise set as default meant to save the character, thought it would just revert back to default. so make sure to set as default before exiting the creator, and your new character will update when you die

Randomly Kicked After 5-8 Minutes of Playing
monolith1985 replied to darkglass34's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
dont know about the pbo file error message. but i used to get kicked all the time for failing signature check. which means too many mods installed, not giving enough time to read them. so maybe sit in the lobby for a couple minutes before loading into a game? -
Is dayz dying a slow death due to epoch? just seen nalalsk and panthera servers come up...why is dayz lagging behind?
monolith1985 replied to piffaroni's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I used to like epoch a few months ago, base building was simple, and you could buy a nice selection of things now people are placing around 50 items each, making it really laggy (for me at least) aswell as everyone having 10 safes in their base, and locked cars everywhere, aswell as having 50.cal humvees and armed helis, which could be ok in small doses, but everyone has a few of them at least i think aftermath is kinda similar to what SA will be, also the vanilla mod with some of the updates -
Dean - Sort it out man. Losing your way
monolith1985 replied to Thegoon84's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
i dont really like the masks in game, kinda reminds me how most people in gta online have monkey and goblin masks on. looks alot more like gta dean once mentioned about controlling loot globally, such as a total amount of an item across every server, so if there was only 25 masks globally, that wouldnt be so bad -
sounds to me like first you went out of your way to get this guy, when you found him you decided to kill him, unprovoked. and you fired the first shot. and anybody with a double barrell is probably not long spawned sounds to me like you were the bandit the true bandits dont even realise they are bandits
-
plus the different models for players and zombies, you would pretty much have to dress up too, and then more than likely you will get attacked by a zombie anyway
-
just wanted to say enjoying the mod so far, especially having a smooth fps, i dunno exactly how much, but i was used to 10 on epoch, so yay :Di like that there isnt everyone running around with big weapons, and love the changes to the map while still keeping (improving?) performance one critique i have is some sounds, not that they are bad, just some are unusually loud in comparison with others, mainly the owl hooting, the creaky cupboard/lockers to search, and the hunger sound, i thought it was a lion lol lastly, any tips for interface resolution? i cant see my drink indicator when its there, or anything else that might appear at that side of the green man
