Guys, its ok now! Two youtube links and 10 flameposts should be enough! lol

Dude, dont play on servers where admins "cloak"! wtf?!

I started playing as a Lonewolf (again) a while ago when my friends stopped playing and i find it incredibly hard to keep my blood/health at a decent level as a Lonewolf. Once you lost blood (due to gunfights and/or zombie encounters) there is nearly no way at all to get HP back.... The new food/hp-regeneration system introduced in 1.7.7.1 was a blessing and a curse imo. The idea to regenerate HP over time when eating food is very good and it prevents insta-heal a lot of HP in the middle of a gunfight with 10x cow meat f.e.. However, i think the system is not perfectly thought trough because it was the only way a lonewolf could regenerate HP in a decent way. Every now and then you would have stumbled across a cow and you carried ~3500HP with you in case shit hit the fan. Basically it was like a self-bloodbag with ~25% HP which took 6 slots...nothing overpowered imo! Now with the new mechanic, it seems like you have to wait forever to eat the next piece of meet so that you get the full HP from it (i dont know the exact timer etc. sry). Also i think the pieces dont give the same HP that they used to. Not to mention there are other new threads which make life harder like the improved and way more evil Zombies compared to the 1.7.6.1. Zeds. I remember when i used to play with my squad, we just hit the town with a UAZ or whatever, raided the hospital and we had 10 bloobags again. Everybody was at full HP all the time and when you lost some, there was 20 BBs in the trunk of the car! ;) It was SO easy. Keeping your HP up as a Lonewolf is like a 100 times harder then when playing with a friend or a squad. I KNOW playing as a LW is supposed to be harder (of course!) but not THAT much harder! Once you hit 50% blood its basically gg because you have to hang around in the forest for days, eating beans and meat every 10 minutes to get ~2% HP back a piece. :( I KNOW it is a survival game but there is a thin line between authenticity and boredom/annoying gameplay! Here are some ideas i can think of. Please dont get crazy about it. Its just some Brainstorming-quick-ideas: 1. Tweak the food/HP-regen system. F.e. stick with the timer but give more HP back. I dont know exactly, would need some testing i guess. 2. Make it possible to transfuse blood from dead players. I dont care if it is logical in a medical way. Hell, morphium doesnt heal broken bones either! Altough this would probably encourage banditry. 3. Introduce medkits (4000blood f.e.)! Why not? Lets be honest, the 12000 "blood" is just the same thing then 100HP in other games. I think Rockets idea was not to make it "gamey" so he didnt took "HP" and introduced "blood" but in the end it turned out to be just the same thing! 4. Give HP for resting/sleeping. Make it possible for the the character to rest/sleep and slowly regen blood. Maybe 15% for one hour or smth. When you log out your char stays in the game and will get replaced by an AI (killable of course!). But i guess this would be a problem with server restarts and probably also be a trip to coding hell! :P Well guys, i hope you get what i basically wanna say. IMO there is currently no descent way to get blood back as a LW. Once you get in a shitty situation, you are stuck with it. I know squadplay should be easier then Lonewolfing but not a 100 times, 10 times is enough! What do you think? Do you share my opinion in gerneral? A Heart for the Lonewolfs! :)

Yeah i remember he talked about this several times. Also his brother did some kind of a manuscript for the Zeds in DayZ but i guess its super secret or smth. (:

Oh my god, no twitter update since more then two days?!? They must have abandoned the game!!! PANIC EVERYBODY!!! Jean-Luc, can you handle this one please? ... :facepalm:

would you care to describe the other errors? Because this one is everyone getting at the moment... :facepalm:

You can use STEAM and Dayz Commander without problems (just actvate "launch using steam" in dayz commander). Works perfect! FYI i updated DayZ to the latest version with steam and use DayZ Commander without problems!

You guys sure the melee weapons have different ranges?

EU, US, ASIA/AUS?!

oh c'mon, a 2012 Thread? Just lock this stuff...you are just confusing people with this old stuff. I suggest, create a new thread for loot spawn explainations or just a thread to discuss in general...

Hell no! Cyndi Lauper is awesome but "girls just wanna have fun" in a zombie apocalypse?! :D

Ok, now the thread becomes interesting again!

u sure?

Wow....this thread....is so.....pointless?

I agree there is too much food spawning. On the other side its finally posible to get some blood when playing as lone wolf with the mass food (ye i know you have to wait a bit between the meals). So hard to get blood as a lonewolf ):

i say: sticky!

I heard there is a mod which lets you grow a mustache and when its full grown you can put a bicycle in it!

Just played for about 4 hours now, so here is my buglist: 1. Couldnt access gear menu of a cow (tried it on two different cows) after killing it with a hatched and gutting it. Instead, the "study-body" menu appears and says kinda like "unknown was killed my unknown". Killed a Goat right after that with a G17 and everything worked perfect. 2. Killed Zombies still have collision for about 3 seconds after they have been killed (blocking doors etc.). 3. Zombies dont have an attack animation often. They just run into you and it hits you. 4. Loot still disapears sometimes in the floor. 5. Besides the "two primary gun"-problem there also seems to be a problem when you already have a primary gun and want to pick up a hatchet. I couldnt figure out how to pick up the hatched without dropping my primary on the ground (but maybe i was just to dumb?). Not sure if a few of those things were desync or just some arma stuff that you cant fix. However, THIS PATCH IS AWESOME! :)

EDIT: nvm. Agree with what Applejaxc said a few posts before!

Here you go...

Unfortunately i think OP got a good point there. :( The thing i really love about the spawn-selection is that i can get team up with my friend WAY quicker. LOVE IT.

I LOVE the tractor. It would be so cool if other players would be able to sit or hang on on the sides of the cabine! honestly? O_o

nope, 100% truth! I'll make a screenshot of my settings for you next time i play! Im running 1080p (the same for 3D!) and the rest on semi-high. As i said, i even capture gameplay while playing! I got the 550ti amp(?), the one with 1Gb ram (normal one got 500mb afaik). I have my OS and all the programs (except of steam) on a SSD and all the rest, including games, on a normal HDD. Also i tend to keep my system very clean and organized.

spyder, i got exactly the Same specs and the game runs perfectly(!) fine for me on semi-high settings. i even capture gameplay in good Resolution while playing so dont worry! its still ruuning kinda "ok" even when i put everything on max...

So when i have antibiotics and dont got wipes i have to wait untill i am infected to be able to cure it with my ABs? Shouldnt antibiotics also be able to prevent infection just like the wipes? Someone knows the medical point of view for that?
