FINE! YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE!!! A waterproof canvas

I meant a mesh. Thing. I hate you!! :(

So. 30 minutes ago I ran into Gorka from the Black Forest way. As I got to the border of the town I saw a guy just... Walking down the street. Not bothering about houses or the loot. But just walking the street as if he was the neighborhood watch. I put my Fireaxe away, ran to about 30 meters behind him, said "Hey!" on the mic and threw up a wave. He turned and waved back. Dude was in green clothing with a vest, He had a fire axe on his back, a shotty on his back and a Mosin in his hands, just strolling down the road taking in the scenery. I ran around frantically searching every house for a Mosin of my own to no avail. I ran into the guy about 5 times all throughout Gorka, just walking minding his own business. He even stopped at the well near the church thing and sipped on water whilst a zombie was running down the road to him. I take the zombie out and put my axe back on my back. Give him a wave and a lean-dance and sipped on the well with him before sprinting off to Dubrovka whist looking back. He just slowly vanished into the horizon, walking. Patrolling. Keeping the waste land safe.

I've gorged myself on food and drink before, Getting to the point where I was stuffed and close to vomiting. No healing text nor no healthy text. Or anything of the kind. Just constant reminders that I ate a 12 course meal and drank an entire lake.

DayZ the mod runs off of ARMA 2 which is terribly optimized, the Standalone currently has not had ANY optimization done to it.

When you hear a fly zoom past your ear and instantly think 'dead body'.

Writing notes on with a pen.

So. My friend and I were killed in an honour-less killing. We were both logging in at the NE airfield and someone shot us whilst we loaded. FUN! Oh well. This is DayZ after all. I spawned in Elektro and began to loot up so we could meet once more. It was going well and I had reasonable gear within 3 minutes of spawning. And then I saw a She-Hulk. I was in the hotel opposite the South West fire-station and she punched me into the wall. INTO it. I killed her and struggled to get out for 2 minutes. I couldn't. I tried to relog and see if it helped. No. Thankfully I was bleeding with no bandages. I've made a bug claim, but so far none of my 4 other bugs seem to have been looked at, it is Christmas after all.

I too am moaning and groaning, without any indication of illness. Not hungry or thirsty or bleeding, I bandaged myself with sterile bandages and such.

Last night in the pitch black I was running around with my Axe out, trying to loot house as best I can without need of a torch. As I ran to a barn someone started transmitting white noise, and 30 seconds later began breathing heavily. I sat around for 15 minutes looking for him only to come to the conclusion that it's the bug whereby if someone dies they can transmit to the whole map. So that technically wasn't interaction. The next day at 10AM I was trolling through the little village 45 minutes east of the shipwreck when I heard "Hello?" Feeling tense I ran to the staircase with my axe trained on the door. "Yeah, hey" I replied. "Oh I thought I heard someone drinking, you friendly?". Not sure if this was a trap or not I hesitantly replied. "Yeah man, you?" He told me he was and that all he had was a fire axe (I was jealous of his superior weaponry) and it turns out he was. We ran around for 30 minutes looting building after building. Chopping down zombies in our way, with varying success. His first encounter wasn't as lucky as mine. He was picking up a water bottle and someone came from behind and cracked him in the head with an axe. Not a good way to go. We parted ways in a warehouse 15 minutes east of the shipwreck due to him having to leave. Dispensed the niceties or "Nice playing with you man, see you 'round." and I was on my way, wandering lonely once more.

Got my first confirmed kill today. I was in Balota, in the flight control tower, and someone shot at me. Terrible aim. Not one of about 12 shots hit me. Even sillier, he was sat in the same spot 5 minutes later whilst I had flanked round the back, out the fence and then through some trees. Took his ammo and bits and then hid his body. That'll learn ya.

Is it just me, or can you not find a ripe Kiwi? What if they're the standalone version of Mountain Dew? Or Antibiotics? NOES!

My second interaction was shorted, but somewhat similar. After Dean killed me and 200,000+ other people. (Dick move guy!!) I was killed at the North East airfield. Anyway. I spawned at Balota, got myself a fire axe, M4 and pistol in the same building. No mags though. Kitted up to the teeth. I'm talking camo coat, camo cargo pants, UK assault vest, Gas mask and combat helmet, green mountain backpack. and I had found a 30 round mag. Walking on my merry way to one of the hangars when I hear "You friendly?" from a guy with an magazine-less M4. "Yeah mate." We ran past each other and that was that. There was however 2 dead bodies in Balota, presumably from earlier in the day.

So I read on Reddit that Rocket would like some suggestions from the community regarding unconsciousness and giving the player a hint at how long they'll be out. And I have one. It's not the best in the world, but it's not using a massive egg timer. My suggestion is this: Upon being knocked out, your screen goes heavily blurry as if your eyes are still open. Over time you regain your vision to the point where all is normal again and you wake up with an "Ughhh" groan.

I had a Mosin on my back, I told him I had no ammo for it, but I think it was still unsettling for him.

So. I've only played for 30 minutes like some others. Damn near pitch black and somewhat tense, but not as tense as my first time on the mod. I've noticed that there is input lag from pressing a hotkey (to pull torch out) of about 2-3 seconds. Alphas gonna Alph. Low FPS is to be expected with the alpha and there being no client optimization. However, something I didn't expect was I have jelly mouse. Whereby I turn my mouse, and it takes a while to do the action and complete it. Not a second or two, but it's enough to be noticeable and annoying. I've turned my mouse DPI to max, lowest and everything inbetween, changed the ingame sensitivity and added mouse smoothing. No change. Mouse acceleration is on by default and I can't change it. It made my first zombie encounter all the more difficult. I was fist fighting 2 zombies with 12 FPS and a Jelly mouse. I put up a good fight and eventually bested them. But not before they socked me in the mouth a good few times. This isn't me moaning. Quite the opposite. I know full well what I spent £20 to get into, and I LOVE IT. This is more me getting it out there and seeing if anyone else has the jelly mouse, and if they have fixed it or at least dampened it?

Yeah. This helped immensely. So much so I stayed on for another 30 minutes before bed. Looted myself some cuffs a Mosin (No ammo) and an axe. Sidenote, Screwdrivers don't seem to work as melee weapons. I swing, and it misses. Every time.

It's been out for 5 hours and already the negative FOLK are crawling out of the woodwork.

Cool. I'll give it a go tomorrow when I get more time. Thanks for the potential fix!!

Go away Zoidberg...

My penis is hard.

Dean said that 128 is the max amount of numbers a steam game server can show. He's going to get in touch and see if they can up it.
