Shhhh... Dude, you just gave away the secrets of all veteran players who don't server hop or KOS for gear... EDIT: Now that it's out of the bag, I have to say, this is the best way to get healthy and get gear.

Rocket talked about heart attacks in detail in Sacriel's stream. So you don't really need a 'theory'. I even put it to the time he starts talking about it: http://youtu.be/0PExkBTofho?t=8m53s

I'm guessing you speak for everyone then?

Pooping and Peeing worked incredibly well in 'The Ship'. Basically everything you did had a meter. When you got thirsty, your thirsty meter would go up. When you drank something, your thirsty meter would go down, but the pee meter would go up. Same thing with food. Hell, you even had to read, take showers, and talk to NPC's for 'entertainment'. I can see it working great in DayZ. Dysentery anyone?

It makes you human, mate. Now just kill 1000 more people and those feelings should clear right up.

Ah, but poop has been confirmed. I guess you should just stop playing now then...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Andes_flight_disaster They had no choice.

This is what we would call 'willful ignorance'. It reminds me of the guy who tried out the 'Scholar' playstyle: Read more, you might learn something. Good grammar is also a bi-product of said reading. Especially the books in DayZ. They are classics. Any one of them should do. I'd put a facepalm pic, but I'm too busy facepalming.

We were up by the NWAF. My girlfriend was waiting outside the building when she was killed on sight by a group of bandits. She was hiding in a bush, unseen. So they must have been following us to know where she was. At the time, I was clueless to the fact my mic wasn't working. I found out later that my Screaming Bee Audio driver was enabled, but I had forgotten to turn Morphvox on. Seeing they had emptied a whole magazine into my girlfriend without a word, I was mostly talking shit, fully resolved to my impending doom. I said things like how much ammo I had, and that I wasn't going down without a fight. At one point I actually yelled "YOU WANNA PLAY ROUGH,?!", in my best Tony Montana voice. Add that to the fact I had a painted Mosin, which was bugged, only allowing me to chamber one bullet at a time. Things couldn't have been any worse. I gave them a run for their money though. Enjoy!

At least two hit the bottom of the stairs. Still, you would think someone would read all the replies I made in this thread about this exact issue since you seem so upset about it. Really, loading the chamber each time was heart attack inducing. I wanted to keep a clear eye on the stairs. I couldn't properly do that with just one bullet in first person. I felt I would have exposed myself and died. It's really not that hard to picture, if you have had combat experience. Put yourself in my shoes, adrenaline pumped and not thinking right. And thanks again to those who see the situation for what it is, and that I didn't combat log. Rather than just complaining about the use of iron sights.

*You force feed maxotaur some beans.

It's painful watching it back as well. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! Never once did I feel offended. Still an amazing video, nonetheless.

It will happen. Seeing that filling up syringes with feces and injecting it into unconscious players has been talked about...

Nice try, Sergey.

It was a bad decision to not use my iron sights. But a conscious one. I think you really had to be there in that moment to rationalize using the iron sights. In the heat of the moment, I felt it was right. I like how everyone just thinks that was something easy to do. My heart was racing and I was filled with adrenaline. My Mosin was bugged. I thought I would surely die. I was only trying to stay alive. I have 600+ hours in the mod, and 200+ hours in the Standalone. I am a jaded combat veteran. Trust me, not using the iron sights is something I deeply regret. Still, I felt the video had some intensity to it, so I decided to upload it. I nearly trashed this footage.

I know it's right click. I made a conscious decision to not do it in the heat of the battle. I know it wasn't the best decision, but it seemed like it was at the time. In that moment I wasn't sure if one them was just going to come up shooting after their friend laid down some covering fire. So I would have been constantly switching back and forth as I reloaded another bullet. A precious second wasted switching when I could be pressing tab and reloading. Which is exactly what I did in the video. It just felt safer to stay in 3PP. I guarantee you that if my Mosin wasn't bugged, I would have been aiming down the sights the whole time. I wouldn't have cared to be exposed because the gun would reload on it's own and I had a major upper hand. I guess you just had to be there with a bugged Mosin, and decide for yourself. I have played exclusively on First Person servers since their inception in the Standalone. All my other videos are in Hardcore servers. My girlfriend likes to play 3pp cause it's easier on her PC, and her eyes. I have been slowing converting her. :)

It changes everything. I brings an extra sense of anxiety into the fray. A deep rooted protective instinct kicks in. It's weird. Yes, I know. But with my bugged Mosin, I felt switching to and fro would have gotten me killed sooner. Furthermore, let me tell you something about my gf; she makes her own decisions. I find myself asking her to stay back most times, and she won't. I ask her not to do something, and she does. More often than not, her instinct has saved our asses. I've seen her execute bandits, ruthlessly, with vile commentary only reserved for sailors. In the above video, she wanted to be a sentry while I quickly looted. I don't ask her to do things anymore. I feel more like Leonidas when he gets the nod from his wife to kick the courier into the pit. She makes the decisions. Except in combat situations. It has taken time for this playstyle to evolve, and it wasn't easy. But we manage, and we're a force to be reckoned with.

Seeing that I play in mostly Hardcore servers, I prefer the Hunting backpack over the Mountain because I can see behind me.

Thanks man. I feel it would have been a much better fight on my end if not for the bugged Mosin. I think this also ties into the next question, as I feel I would have used Iron Sights if I didn't have to constantly go back and reload one bullet. Good question, and I agree. It was a conscious decision in a very stressful situation. I feel my head may have been too exposed, as I would have had to move up. At the same time, watching back the video, I can see how my bullets weren't going where I wanted them to. I thought I had enough clearance. It's just one of those things in a DayZ combat situation. You make decisions for means of survival. Sometimes they are not always good. For the record, I do play Hardcore servers only. My girlfriend likes the increased FPS in 3PP, and her eyes don't hurt as much. But I've converted her recently. :)

Need I say more?

It's really a minor inconvenience for me. Losing a toon or gear. Losing connection. A timer. Assume all these thing will happen at any moment. Make it part of your resolve when playing DayZ. 'It comes with the territory.' - or so they say... I see people so flustered about these small things, and I think back when I used to have to wait for a letter in the mail, or wait for a phone call on a land line! Or no matter how hard you blew on the cartridge, THE GAME STILL WOULDN'T WORK! And all I had was a 1-800 or mail in flyer for support. Kids these days. No patience or resolve.

Charcoal tablets will cure you right up if you're still seeing the notifications. I don't remember anyone vomiting from them. It would only give the sick notification for a while, then cure up the poisoning.

Funny thing is, they plan on 150 player servers... More people will be washing ashore your little 40 player kingdoms, and the butthurt will begin!

I'm not sure if this is intended, but you can take blood from someone who is passed out from blood loss, and then give it back to them for a revival. Kind of like taking blood from a stone. Here is my proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLStK_KF3w According to Merino's medical education videos, you cannot actually die from blood loss. You only die from health loss. This creates a major oversight. A real test would be to keep taking blood bags from someone, unconscious or not, to see if they will eventually die. My guess, based on my findings in my video, is that you will be able to take endless amounts of blood from an unconscious victim without them dying, or blood running out. This can't be good...
