He he. Pretty much the same thing happened to me yesterday. I was on my 12'th day of survival and pretty well geared up. AKM w/ 4 mags, M9 SD, 4 canteens, cooked meat, blood, two sets of med supplies, grenades, Dew, 24 slot backpack. Stuff. Then, I decided to check if the water was safe. I'd swim out to that there island and look for tents, I said. Though it was cold, I jumped straight in the drink without a fuss and swam across. On the opposite shore I found my dripping wet self with: no rifle, no pistol ammo, no food and no bloody water. Shit! I tried to equip my hatchet to use as a weapon, but something weird happened and I lost it. This place was starting to get on my nerves, I didn't like this vacation. I started looking around for supplies, but as it turned out, zombie island only has zombies on it. Nothing to eat, nothing to drink. I swam back, fairly parched now, and searched though a village and two deer stands finding both a sidearm and a rifle. Nothing to drink though, and it was getting critical. After some more tribulations I located some soda in Rog castle, best damn can of Coke I ever had. Point of the story? The next person I meet is going to feel the big sloppy kiss of uncle Enfield, then we can discuss the ethics of it at a later date. I want my canteens back, damnit.

I remember when pudding cups were just a twinkle in their father's eye and nobody else had ever heard of anything, ever.

But... why... How? How does this exist? I have watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. I know the intimate life of birds. Once, I saw a man eat his own head. But this? I'm speechless.

Clearly, you never tried 'fuck'. Sorry, just had to. Too obvious.

In Eve Online you can't just log out whenever you please. Well you can, but you will most likely lose your stuff. That game is doing pretty well regardless. So can DayZ. 5-10 sec log in + log out timer, that'll solve the problems.

Some people like the colour 'red', other people prefer 'blue'. Refried prefers 'blue'. Refried thinks 'blue' is the only fun colour, and anyone who disagrees are pretentious bullshitters in his opinion. Refried is a fucking wanker who should be strapped to a rocket and shot into the sun. There, I said it.

I can highly recommend getting a vehicle or a bicycle, there is a lot of fun to be had there.

Where do you find satchel charges? I can't seem to find any documentation on them anywhere. I would really love to blow stuff up though, I wish it was possible to blow up the dam up north.

How about a log on timer instead? 10 sec of not moving when you log into a server. That would so fix the getting-shot-in-the-back-in-barracks issue. Better log out in them woods mate!

Hi Lanevo Sometimes DayZ does frustrating annoying things, partly because it's in alpha and partly on purpose, the trick is to have a laugh about it. Do get attached to your guy, but see each playthrough as a story with an inevitable end: a gruesome gory death. See how far you can get when chased by a million zeds, try to pull of crazy stunts like raiding an airfield with a crowbar and a bus, the game is all about stories - it's all in your head. Ignore the powerplayers, enjoy the walk and the view.

Shameless bump. Also, can anybody with esoteric coding smarts tell if a percentage chance of player activated sound is possible without a large fps drop?

Do anybody actually do this? That's running the map, edge to edge, 15 times. I know it is possible to do, but is it really a problem? The map is only 15km across, I can run that irl. My face would be red as a baboons', but I could do it.
