    Reduce running speed by increments as vehicles are introduced

    Dude, you do realize that they will reduce the speed back to an average human and are working on a stamina system?

    Healing

    Like they stated above, try to get to the light green for both energized and hydrated. The status for healing won't always pop up immediately though.

    About Jan 15 week 05 patch

    Plus, every Wednesday is a tent/persistence wipe but I don't know what time they do that.
  4. From someone who has played the Mod one month after it was released I would have to say that I enjoy the Standalone now more. The reason is because the standalone player interaction is like what it was when the mod first came out. In the mod now it is pretty much a death match. Now I obviously agree with all the great features that have made the mod great but I feel like the reason why I played DayZ Mod in the beginning is now lost. When I play the mod I feel like there is no punishment for dying because you can find things so easy and you can run straight back to where you were because you don't have to worry about anything. Then a major plus for me is the graphics, I absolutely love the look and feel of the standalone when I'm not in a major city. I just hope when they go for more FPS they don't change the style at all. Now for me, I always look forward so for me with the standalone having so much potential I feel like the standalone will be way better in the future and I want to be with the game the whole way. This is why I like the standalone better than the mod now because when the standalone is finished it will retain all the things that I stated above while the mod stays the same about those issues. Don't get me wrong when the standalone was released I liked the mod way better but since the standalone is playable and has things to work towards there is no reason to go back besides Namalsk.

    Persistent character loss

    DO NOT JOIN A SERVER THAT HAS JUST RESTARTED!!! Wait about 3-5 minutes after it comes up on the server list.

    So you Can Play if You Want ?

    Well fortunately this seems like a UK issue since it is through a UK host. I haven't gotten kicked yet US/Canadian servers.

    My character is being reset.

    Besides the possibilities that they have said, DO NOT JOIN A SERVER THAT HAS JUST RESTARTED!!! Wait about 3-5 minutes after it comes up on the server list.

    Oil Filter Suppressor

    They have already stated that they want you to be able to make your own suppressor. Now I doubt that these will be as good as the ones that you will have to find just because of balance.

    Performance Issues on Solid Rig

    As of now, until optimization at least, the best way to get great frames is to turn off hyper-threading and get the best overlock you can get. I run an i7-3930k at 4.4GHz with hyper-threading just because I'm lazy to turn it on and off and I get about 40 FPS in cities and 90+ outside cities. I know that is not ground breaking but defiantly playable.

    Where i can find AUG

    Your Moms House. JK, I believe it is heli crashes.

    DayZ Standalone Hacker Caught Redhanded!

    Good job, hopefully they will do something but I believe you should PM an admin before posting.
  12. If you kill a zombie or player it will crash you and the people around you. So you will crash if someone else kills around you and I do not know the radius of it.

    Keep losing my character

    Listen, when you join a server that just restarted you need to wait a couple of minutes. And the wait time is not always the same. You just need to look at the server time and wait until the server says 8:01, 9:01, 12:01; doesnt matter what the time is just make sure it one minute after.

    Perks/skills/professions/stats

    Since the beginning the characters were meant to be regular civilians, nothing more. But with the addition of Lock Picking, I believe that they take it a bit to far. Because I do not believe everyone knows how to pick a lock. There should be a dynamic skill tree that as you try picking more and your character succeeds at picking locks he will slowly get better. Such as the amount of time it would take, if it would fail/succeed, and other things that would influence it. There would be no player interaction with the skill tree and you couldn't see how far along you were, if there is an end. You would just play and see your character get better until he dies. Now, I see this as an opportunity to expand, such as holding breath longer, sprinting longer, being more accurate with a specific gun over time, being able to skin and gut animals better/faster and many many more possibilities. Now I don't see this as the direction that they would go but it just makes so much sense, it would make an another end game and just like items you would lose all that hard work. Items wouldn't be the only thing that determined how good your character was anymore. Plus as stated above it would give purpose to those that like to just survive as their character would get better In a distinct way. I just have so many ideas that could expand on this that it would only make this topic extremely long and pointless because it will probably not go any further than this. Hope that you guys like my suggestion and I would like to see some input.
  15. I just need to know if this is an actual mechanic because I have been one hit by zombies before after being healthy. Devs just please be honest and just tell us the truth about this game and hiding everything.

    WTF? Experimental server map voting screen? wut?

    This was exactly how some servers were in Arma 2. You would join it and then you had control of what map, mission, and difficulty.

    Topolka Dam Underwater Glitch

    Yes, this is exactly like in the mod. I guess they left it in just as a memorial just like the ladder in the firehouse.
  18. DayZCommander is F'ed and is obsolete. What you need to use is DayZ Launcher (http://dayzlauncher.com/) and it way better with mods.

    Do I look like a bandit?

    The real question is, do I look like a bandit? Or someone you wanna shoot because you want my gear? This is the only reason why I haven't played friendly since I have found my M4. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/26217555237372194/797310542286BC463AA47F07568D7EC27665DC6D/

    Do Blackskull Balaclavas still drop since the hotfix?

    Yes, they do spawn. I found a damaged one yesterday and a worn one today.

    Heli crash sites

    I don't believe that either map has the exact locations of all heli crashes because I have found two heli crashes that are not located on the old or new map. One is located south of Zelenogorsk on the hill in between the gas station and the white and red barn. The other is to the left and in the field of the southern barrack at NWAF. Both were UH-60 so maybe they have their own other areas of spawning.

    Gun Straps

    Yes, I believe that this would be an amazing idea to add. I have thought of this myself aswell because it would work perfectly with how you have to carry your second gun when you already have a gun on your back.

    Staircase of DEATH

    Well, first off, your position is controlled by the server and not the client anymore. So what happened was that the server kept moving you, which can be lag at a bad moment or other reasons, and it counted you dead before it changed your position back to where you really were. It is a small scale of what happened back in experimental when it would "rubberband" you back. You would clip something and the server thought you were still there so it would rubberband you back. I believe this method is to stop teleporting and other heinous things. But that is what happens when you climb stuff, the server thinks you fell off and you die. That is why if you were to get back to your body or friends at your body they would see the body at the bottom. There is really nothing you can do about this besides not climbing tall things but even short things can kill you like the white barn with red roof.

    Tent Wipe #2...why? "Devs please read"

    So did they wipe the tents again? Because I know that they wiped them a couple of days ago and they said that they fixed the problem (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/208251-reddit-eugenharton-on-offical-servers-not-working-after-restart/). I am finally able to log onto my server, since it had been down for a day, and come to find out that my backpacks and tents were wiped once again. I understand that this is alpha and this is to be expected but i would atleast like a post or something stating that they are going to do it. I mean they want us to test tents but it takes hours upon hours to find one, then the next day it gets wiped. Enough on the soap box, just wanna know if anyone elses tent got wiped yesterday or today? I dont know when it happened since I was unable to log in.
  25. My friend is hasing the exact same problem. It can only be because Steam took over.
