After reading a post found here: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=825 (Worth checking out - very scary indeed) I got a wave of nostalgia from "scary" horror games/films such as Resident Evil 1 and Silent hill. Previous to this post I treated DayZ as a survival challenge rather than a horror game. Fear was generally created from bandits in the form of: shit, I am really scared i'm gunna die now and lose all my things. But after reading that, and listening to the audio file, I had trouble playing DayZ in in-game and RL nights! I would like to see more of these elements included. I think having a scary game will encourage teamwork but it would also include mystery and fear which will enhance the sandbox experience. I am 100% against "side missions" and other things people are suggesting as its totally against what I believe this mod is about; if you read that radio thread you will see people discussing transmission towers to find etc - I feel that is the thing that DOES need to be added. I think in todays culture the zombie "idea" has shifted from the original horror genre it was in the 50's to arcade/action/adventure. Even the 'Walking Dead' TV series has slowly started becoming a drama about humanity - with the "scaryness" fading away. Anyway, Tl;dr, make DayZ scary! Thanks for reading.

Sounds legit to me i'm afraid. We lost vehicles even after saving due to restarts. We play on a server that restarts every 4 hours (which I think you need in dayz else zombies/loot/clock starts messing up) - the restart message is automated, I dont know if that was the same for you. Its an issue with the vehicle system i'd say, perhaps it could be looked into next-next patch. I love the realistic "minecraft" style of play where you build a camp etc but i get a hot flush every time the server restarts / we go away for a week without playing because this game is not very "persistant" at this time. I really hope Rocket and the devs look into further ways of preventing item/camp loss over periods of time.

Is the ticket system for reporting corrupt servers too? I.E. locked/clanonly/private servers?

Alas :C

I logged in 20min ago and I was at the beach, I had all sorts of cool stuffs but it defauled me to nothing, (this was before i read the thread about maitainance), when everythings back will i be in the right spot or do i need to ask for my stuffs? Thanks

Please come back :C Home server for six of us but now it has gone as fees were not paid :C Loved the timezone, love no-crosshair, no-3rd person and no kill messages + the ping was always great. Currently finding another server with those settings is hard, not to mention we have had tents setup since the start on '13! Perhaps have a paypal donate button somewhere to help with fees? EU13. Come Back!

There's also a video of some guy rolling about in a tractor somewhere on the forums

Does the UAZ really have 7 seats? We had one ingame and it had 3 seat slots in the back and 2 in the front. When reffering to inventory space what does 50/20/2 mean? Does it have 50 slots but only 2 for a certain item, say bags? Also the landrover is classed as "millitary offroad" ingame but is a Defender 110 in real life. Dont want to be finnicky but the other ones have real names. Good guide

Date/Time: 27/05/2012, 2:20pm GMT, post 1.6.0 Release What happened: After picking up and putting on camo clothing from the floor, water was poured on me as if i were submerged. I then began swimming on the shop floor. The game then dropped my items and deleted my pack. I had to disconnect and reconnect to fix it. Where you were: Zelenogorsk shop, behind the isle nearest the wall. What you were doing: Put on "Camo Clothing". *Current installed version: 1.6.0 *Server(s) you were on: EU5 *Your system specs: Geforce 480GTX, Intel Q6600 2.4ghx quad, 8gb DDR2 Ram @ 877mhz, Windows 7 64 bit. *Timeline of events before/after error: Logged straight in, went into shop, then the events occured.

My group stumbled across two vehicles in the space of five minutes, both fully repaired minus fuel. I ended up with the UAZ which had five empty jerry cans in the boot (Most likely someone ran it dry- unless they spawn there?) Anyway, I know when vehicle parts are red they need replacing HOWEVER I accidently ran over a fence and the fuel tank and wheels turned orange. My question, Will the fuel tank and wheels slowly turn green again? I have seen this happen with the wheels on a bus, or do I need to replace them? And whilst they are orange will they give me less performance? The poorly written wiki says the UAZ should go 112kmph on land and 44 off-road yet this one goes 75 max on road and 22 off. Is this a mistake of the wiki or is something wrong? - keep in mind the vehicle was 100% green when testing this speed. Can only time repair orange parts or can i fix it with my toolbox? Im pretty annoyed how beat up this UAZ got from driving over a small piece of wood. Thanks for any information you can provide. -before our run-in with the fence of demise

Grand news, myself and others found it unplayable today due to laggy eff p ess

Thanks rocket, just happened again - this time in Vibor. I lost my inventory (but put my alice pack of stuff down before trying the clothes... learnt from last time) I instantly DC'd from the server, returned and I am in some sort of debug ocean, and it wont remove me from it. Picture of us all having a grand time in debug ocean: Unfortunately I am now stuck here, leaving server, restarting etc keeps me in the ocean. Slowly losing temperature.

- Complains of COD noobs - Wants chopper What

You DONT want skins, they make you stuck in swim mode on dry land, wait for a fix. Edit: Rocket, posted a bug report - it needs appoval.

I just put on some "camo clothes" i found in a shop. The game poured water on me and I began swimming in the shop, then all my shit got chucked around :<

Stop crying about female characters, its so if you are female: pick it, if not, stay male. Its not a "oo i cant decide, oo i want to change it every month". You totally misunderstand the concept. In addition, dont post skins here, a good part of this game is discovering the mystery, project Day Z is unlike other games by big companies - those types of games publish every single detail about the game in manuals and online. Here you have to find out for yourself. Which is one of the best aspects.

As I said, Haters gun hate

Yeah, Rocket stop saying you will release it "today" or "tomorrow" then fail to, its like getting a handjob without being finished off to put it bluntly. We all get so excited and F5 F5 F5 F5 the forums and stay up all night then find we have to wait :< Im not being unnapreciative, although haters will no doubt hate, I just think there should be a window for patches, or a patch day, or more accurate timings to feed our hunger for this grand mod.

:0 I suggested this! This is great! Although I reckon it was just done off Rockets intuition, I think heatpacks should spawn in the wooden houses. Hospitals hold too much loot considering there are like only 3 in game and bandits hold monopoly on them: Epi pens, Antibiotics, Morphine, Blood bags (I know morphine etc spawns elsewhere but its very low chance) Heatpacks need to be out there, shops and huts deffo - or even a new loot spawn location?

I'm glad female is a one time thing, will make bandits think about doing it before they use the feature to lull people into a false sense of sexy-security

I assume hospital loot spawn changes are for the ultra-rare 0.22% antibiotics

Yes. Go in the drivers seat and look top left, if its anything other than green it can be repaired. Deep red means its "broken"

nice crosshairs and infographics on players would have read more but i dont enjoy COD
