It's not overly hard to learn it.. There's 8 blood types, o- Is a universal donor, AB+ is a universal receiver. 6 left for you to learn. And seeing as DayZ is all about realism, It'd be pointless to put bloodtypes in if the only punishment was less blood gained or something trivial like that.

I've had this twice, Both times caused by firestations. If you sprint down the stairs too quickly you just get a random " You are dead ". We're you in the firestation? :p

I had an issue with ARMA 2 running on a specific modem I had. Luckily, there was a known fix, And I just had to update the firmware. Is the problem your entire connection crashing, Or just laggy/desyncy gameplay?

You're right about it being Desync, You can tell when a server is heavily desyncing because you shoot, noting happens, then random hit sounds. It tends to happen at random intervals, but seems to be ALOT more common when trying to shoot someone who's just logged in. Making it easier for server hoppers to escape death because of it. Luckily yours registered and you did get to kill him.

If you're still looking for a group, Send me a PM and I'll give you our TS details. There's around 8-10 of us on daily, Plus a few more ring ins, And we're mostly aussie.

Most likely the admin of the server.. I heard something about " Random " People being able to kick players off the server, However I've never seen or experienced it, and I've only seen 1 person get kicked from a server.

Multiple characters : You'll end up with WarZ style combat. 1 person has all their character logged out at the same place, you kill one, then have to fight however many more they're allowed. " Hardcore " and " Casual " Characters/servers : You more or less just described public hive VS Private hive...

Get the mod if you want to try a slightly more polished version. Get DayZ SA if you want to have some form of input on the development, Test for bugs, And be along for the ride. There's not much to do in SA at the moment seeing as it's the third build. The mod is in a better condition at the moment as it's had more time, But SA will quickly pass it, I'd say in 2-3 months, Tops. Both are great, So it's entirely up to you, My vote would be for SA though. Plus, If you get SA now, You get it cheaper than in say, 3 - 4 months.

It's Rare-ish, It only spawns in enter-able train stations.

Saline IV is a Saline bag with an IV start Kit added to it, Stevie.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, But I thought I'd'd throw it up here and see if anyone else has tried it. I had a friend with me, and we'd been running for around an hour or so wayyyyyyy up north, and we started trying things out, Like seeing how many rounds a press vest can soak, White building make round frag and such. Then we decided to shoot a fireaxe, while a one of us were holding it. He went prone, hit space so he was holding it about 2 feet above his head, I shot it, It sparked, He was instakilled. However, NONE of his gear too damage, His helmet was still pristine, as was his vest and backpack. So, I'm not sure if it's a glitch, Or " Lucky Fragments ".. Anyone else tried this?

I actually found this fix on the nvidia forums, And it works perfectly, Beans for you. P.S I came here to post it for everyone else to try. :p

Maybe try port forwarding? I've never really heard of anything like this, But it seems like some kind of Client to server communication error. I'm not sure what the ports are for SA, I'm sure some other users would, But the main ArmA 2 one is 2302 UDP.

Or trying to loot whore during an... Alpher..

That's why I included his gear condition, The only viable reason for a " Insta-kill " Would have been if it bounced and hit his head, However he had a ballistic helmet on which was still pristine afterwards.

Try shooting an M4 without a stock, then with a stock. It's a mechanic, And, The mosin isn't the most accurate rifle in the world.

As far as I know, The only vest that gives protection, Is a Press vest, Which after taking 5-7 rounds in to chest while wearing one, I survived, after some saline and an epipen..

As Salamander said, It means you're healthy, And if you take damage, You get a healing factor, If I'm O- This is the time when I donate blood, as I'll gain it back in 20 minutes or so.

I have the same issue with SA as I did with Arma 2, They both share similar issues for me, If I alt tab, It takes around a minute to get to my desktop, then another minute to get back in game, and Shadow play works on neither of them.

There's quiet a few things as you explained, That won't work when you try use them if they're badly damaged or ruined, Sometimes you can't dress in ruined clothes, You can't craft a splint with ruined bandages, You can't use a ruined can opener, Weapon optics have shattered lens's, It just give you a status message saying the item is ruined if you absolutely cannot use it.

Beat me to it, Julius. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or if it's supposed to happen, But sometimes when you fire the last round, It leaves what I like to think as the empty casing still chambered, And you have to manually eject it through your inventory.

I just generally shout " Hands! Hands! Put Them on your head! " Or something similar, However I normally have 3-4 people beside me.. This has worked with armed people, However, If they start to turn to face us, Shots are fired.

1. You can save someone's life if they're in immediate danger. 2. Find a blood test kit. 3. Over time, Slowly, When in a healthy state. ie Fullish hunger and well hydrated. Here's a compatibility chart, For Question 2. The general rule of thumb, Is O- is a universal donor AB+ Is a universal Receiver + blood will almost always send a - person in to shock ( Irl not sure about in game, It should though. ) O- can only take O-

You really don't need to alt tab though, Once you establish which direction is east, Left is north, Right is south, 180 degree turn is west.
