Have tried multiple things but this seems to work for me and friends... Tincture and fresh bandages make it go away once your "wound are fully healed"

So far the progress has blown me away. I was pretty dissapointed after the very first day but since then have had a complete 180 on how I feel things are going. Let me start off with mentioning things I think are great. Load times are phenomenal. The graphics look fantastic compared to the mod. I love the inventory system and think its going to evolve into something even better. The clothing options are really cool, I like having everyone looking fairly different. The attachment options for weapons are cool, also makes it so your weapon seems customizable. The loot spawning locations in buildings is done well I like having to spend a bit of time searching around a house to ensure you dont miss anything. The upgrade to the hunger\thirst\sickness stuff seems to be coming along with just some tweaks needed to be more clear on some issues. New buildings and military camps are great additions. I really like how along the coast now you see towering high rise apartments overlooking the cities. Im sure there are more but these stick out in my mind atm. Here are some things I hope they are working on, and some i know they are via the feedback tracker. Night time - If we are being coaxed to play at night time more we need better stuff to do so. AKA Chemlights. I refuse to play at night with a crappy flashlight that doesnt behave as a real flashlight would. Turning your gamma up only goes so far and does nothing when your in a pitch black building looking around trying to find the proper angle for your flashlight to actually illuminate something. Flares would be a great addition as well, I know a lot of players miss them. Moar stuff! - I know its all going to come in good time. But I really think the majority of the community is in need of more stuff to go look for. Once your stocked on medical supplies with an M4 ammo, food, and water with the clothing choices you want, that seems to be it, and leaves people with a "well lets go kill people" attitude. Balance the map! - Balota, north to the military camp, north to zelengorsk, north to the vybor military camp, north to NWAF. There is little to no reason for anyone to visit the east coast. Other than a giant boat that has mediocre loot at best. Stary Military tents, Berezino Military tents taken out, along with the lack of sprucing up the NEAF got compared to the west + the addition of all the stuff along the west side of the map makes the east coast a sad panda. Berezino in my opinion should be next to Cherno the next major city. Add back the military tents, add another hospital, make it better. As it is I imagine almost every single new spawn immedietly looks west no matter where they are. This alone will disperse the map better as people wont immedietely migrate to the west and therefore promote map exploration and cut down the KOS slightly. Get rid of this stupid "autozoom" function. Our eyes are not binoculors. The + key needs to be disabled. Same with the right click zoom. Add in a simple logout timer. This game was supposed to be converting to a type of MMO away from a FPS. So take a look at the most succesful MMO's and how they do it. 20 second logout timer. Not hard to implement. There have been many good suggestions so far that could easily be molded into the dayz version of a logout timer. Fix up the server select menu. We need to know what the time of day is on a server so we can pick appropriately. *added -Make eating and drinking more realistic. I understand the system completely however the amount needed to eat to get yourself to 100% is excessive. And having to spam the drink key at a well is silly. -ZOMBIES ZOMBIES ZOMBIES (Cant believe I forgot this one) Obviously Zeds are not even close to where they want to be with it. I know they are a work in progress but right now the agro radius is retarted, and night time doesnt seem to change that. Again reverting back to the night time feature. Nor do suppresors which sucks. I cannot wait for this feature of the game to start gaining some ground. And I will say that even as shitty as the zeds are right now, they are LEAPS AND BOUNDS ahead of the mod. -I think the smoothness of the transition of items in and out of your hands, using the hotkeys and so on, should really get some attention too. Sometimes I can switch while running sometimes i cannot, its all over the place and is a big factor that hurts realism and gameplay. Feel free to add to this list again just my opinions of what I like so far and what I hope to see in the near future. Cheers to all!

Tough argument. Would like to see an improved first person before that happened. Although I think if everyone was forced to play first person you would eventually get used to it. Im really on the fence about this issue as I see problems with both views.

just double tap the + key they are built into your eyes...

Heres one.. Drinking alcohol tincture definitely makes you sick... Nothing but time and rest seems to cure it. Lol dam misclick...

I was more thinking even if the guy was able to ghost you, then youre still bad for being in a spot where someone is able to not only spot your exact position, move there before you move again, and relog in right behind you. Considering the nature of what you were doing while it happened, if thats what happened, maybe you need to reconsider your time spent in dayz.

I dont see how you can automatically say it was ghosting.... Sitting at Balota airfield sniping is gonna get you killed... Why could someone have not just flanked you? Or even just spawn in near you or happened to be running from that direction? Its Balota.. the way the map is setup people are going to be migrating there from everywhere....

I think people worry too much about ghosting.... No excuses play like a champion.

Although I agree there definitely needs to be a logout timer like there was in the mod also not being able to log out when you are close to another player, I still dont see how you automatically assume anyone you killed in that video was a server hopper. I would think it would be very common for people to end their nights at the balota jail and logout there so when they come back they can loot it again quick and be on their way. I made a post earlier about how ridiculously lopsided the western side of the map is starting at balota and going north west, so obviously everyone migrates that way immedietely after spawning. And the FP vs 3P is an endless argument. Until first person is actually first person and not a 2D version of it you cant expect people to play that way, considering how restricted it actually is. That still doesnt change the fact tho that 3P is definitely exploitable. My 2 cents , was a neat video to watch.

Anyone else feel the western side of the map is way too lopsided? Not doing much to the NEAF and taking away the Berezino military tents and hell even the stary tents makes it extremely lopsided. Castles dont seem to spawn loot anytime ive been to one either, pretty much leaving people the only choice of going west and reaping the short runs from military camp to military camp. My buddies and I ran around on a 40 person server and didnt see one person from NEAF all the way down the coast through berezino to elektro where we finally saw one person. When we hit Balota and the western cities we found the other 35 people lol. I really hope now the holidays are over we start seeing more loot types. I think were ready for it thats for sure,

Lulz burned.

Great info!

There is definitely plenty that advertise they are....

Its a known issue.

Unsure of what your point is. The fact remains, any human having to eat 8-10 cans of beans to be full is ludicrous. Amount it takes to restore Hunger to 100% needs to be decreased and less eatable foods need to be spawned, but you should have more time to search for said foods. This will promote map exploration, cooperation, and still make you have a constant worry on ensuring your properly stocked. But most of all, would be much more realistic.

Still dont think you should have to eat 8 cans of food to go from 0%-100%+

This is what you came up with? Looks fantastic.

lol @ zombieguy that one went right over your head

Thats a great question lol id love to find out. Dont think its marked on the map.

find blood bags and intervenus startup kits, find noobs on the coast and hold them up, steal their blood

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4get4_rise-against-survive_music Life for you has been less than kind, Take a number and get in line, weve all been sorry weve all been hurt, but how we survive, is what makes us who we are.... Suck it up peanut this is dayz.

Again, youre right. I should have checked on the state of the Alpha after the release instead of jumping on board right away. I went purely on the information I was given in the months leading up to the release which definitely in my opinion do not coincide. My bad. Still doesnt change the dissapointing first impression of what they have been working on over the past 6-12 months.

Clearly when you use a word to describe my post like "flawless" you area being the ignorant one. I never once used that word. In fact me and all the other whiners use words such as "we expected an unfinished game, we expected bugs and glitches" however some of the issues at hand that clearly dont need a paid public alpha to resolve are the problem. I was told indirectly through interviews with Dean that they are waiting to release until they are happy with the games state. I guess our views of a happy game state where people can focus on bugs and glitches vs just being able to play the game for an hour without being put on a black screen for a half hour+ and making no progress on actually debugging the game are very different.

I guess I should have no faith in what Dean stated multiple times over the last year, youre right. I should never assume anything, yet when I see it priced at $30 and finally after waiting a year I got excited and wanted to buy and try it. Is being slightly dissapointed with the first impression of what you were told over the last year to what actually got released not somewhat justifyed? What an ignorant comment....

People can still vent their frustrations. Again if we werent told to wait wait wait for the release cause they want it to be happy with its state, then release it for 30$ a pop, and withn minutes of playing you find things that are blatent issues, its frustrating to a lot of people that were looking forward to helping with specific game detailed bug issues. Not issues like "I have to drink water 10 times from an unlimited water source only to be thirsty again after 60 seconds of doing nothing, only to be knocked unconcious for 30+ minutes" Come on guys we needed a public paid alpha to report that stuff? Either way Im happy it is actually out. I was extremely skeptical going in and glad I was, considering how dissapointed I am in the issues that I am sure the dev team knew about before release, and only the urgency shown in patching the bugs and blatent issues will cure that dissapointing first impression. I will continue to use the feedback page in hopes that a speedy recovery of the games state will take place.
