Better than the bugged no smoke russian i just found with a dallas mask and two chemlights at it...

Who wants to smash some fruit??? I got warrants!

Takes awhile but just heal per usual it goes away. Man I can't wait until they fix the video settings bug.

No need for npc... Just give me 100 man servers and ruthless zombies and I'm happy.

Raining is only part of the temperature issue. Some servers are much colder than others rain or not. Your best bet is pristine jacket pants boots, and always have an axe bandages and matches in case you get too cold you can light a fire. No idea why the mosin clip didn't worK but the idea is yes quickloading by pressing R As far as I know the only way to favorite is outside of the gameplay and in the server lists which yes is a pain in the ass especially with no info about last played on the server history.

I don't know any Canadian that doesn't lock their door lol Where'd this info come from?

I like the idea of seeing a visual crash... The ai that flies it doesn't have to do anything but fly overhead high up enough it won't get shot down.

Well you're making some big assumptions on the lore of how your survivor came to be on the shores of chernarus. The way the cars look I'd say no, people haven't driven most vehicles in months, based on the timing of things. I'd assume most vehicles have been sitting idol for months at least. So yeah once you've collected all those parts and have a charged vehicle like I said you're good to go, but not at all beforehand. Every vehicle your going to find is going to be in pieces and not drivable, so I'd say it's safe to assume dead batteries come with that package.

I think this is the third time I've read this response copy/paste... +1 LOL

Unless that car has been running with the alternator charging the battery on a reasonably regular basis the battery will die. I left my car off the road and within a month of not driving it the battery was dead. So no, a car is not a viable answer at this point in the apocalypse. If we don't have to find a way to charge the car battery when vehicles get introduced I'd be disappointed.

Had to stop reading half way through the thread, gets pretty redundant. Considering one of the first topics this alpha ever had on the bug tracker was all about this. First, eat every piece of fruit you see instantly. Yes it isn't an efficient use of inventory but to leave it on the ground doesn't make sense. Just eat it. I've respawned 4 times this week. My spawn points were novo, berezino,cherno and electro. Each spawn was on a full server (stable). All four times I hiked it to the southwest part of the map (Pavlovo military base was my goal). I spent little time near where I spawned and just checked random houses along the way. By the time I hit Pavlovo, I had everything I could want minus my rifle of choice and a tent. On top of it, 2/4 times when I got to Pavlovo there was an akm and mag there waiting for me. Why did I mention this? Cause I want to point out it didn't take any special skills or anything just the common sense to keep moving especially when loot looks scarce at the first spot you check. There's no way anyone can say it's hard that's not the issue. I do agree with the op that it's still not properly balanced. U shouldn't be able to eat a few cans of food, a few pieces of fruit and still be hungry or hungry shortly after. However to say there is no food within your spawn radius is poppycock. I have yet to find a server where I don't at least find some form of food within the first 10-15 mins of playing. Water is everywhere. My only question for the op would be, what server are you playing on? I'd like to try it and see if our experiences match up. Cause like I said I'd find it more difficult to play for 30-45 minutes WITHOUT seeing food.

Confirmed a few minutes ago one of my tent locations is still secure. Fragnet hosted server.

My boots got ruined and I got cold immediately. My server is also sub-zero set in Antarctica apparently...

What I find weird is this only works with mountain backpacks? A hunting backpack takes up another entire pack, and putting an improvised backpack in a hunting pack leaves you with less slots than the improvised pack adds, so still confused why it's still possible with mountain packs...

Also I'd like to point out, there's maybe 5-6 announcements tops you'd have to read through. And that's to get every update. .43 was about April wasn't it? Might be tough to read those point form patch notes though so I'll leave that up to you. Juat go to announcements and do a quick read of the handful of changes in the last 4-5 patches and you'll have full understanding of where the game is at. They are all labeled for you.

So you're saying if zombies were real they would dodge attacks? I'm pretty sure they'd basically act as they would now, run a straight line to you and take a swipe.... And any sensible person would dodge said swipe strafe around a bit and attack. Just seems like common sense. And to say, even in real life combat after you make an attack you also need to "reset" your animation, that's what counter attacks are. Cause once you commit to an attack you leave yourself open if said attack is dodged. I still can't wrap my head around how you think this is a bug. zombies will always be stupid, and have a predictable attack you can work around. I don't think anyone speaking of easy melee means running around in circles as you speak of. If they do their idiots cause all it requires is a quick sidestep and counter attack.

Searched every military location from balota to Nwaf, multiple times, have 3 akms handful of mags and zero attachments basically. I assumed the majority are at crash sites.

Don't carry the logs and shit... Just carry your axe and matches and rags you can make a fireplace on the spot when needed... I keep matches in both my tents and on my person at all times

Dayzdb.com for quick references, otherwise a compass and memory

Yeah i get that, the op does too, he never said the outcome of him trying to meet people from the forum in game was gonna end with hugs and kisses.

I don't get the parallel between this and the op... I think it's a cool idea personally...

The tall apartment buildings above balota, the ones you have to climb up the elevator shaft, can confirm spawns there.

In 400+ hours have never even came close to starving to death... You're doing something wrong

And how we survive... is what makes us who we are!

Gonna test this tinfoil hat tonight... will post results
