Watched the fullmoon rise at NWAF

The roof of the south west appartement building sounds the best for a sentinel, but it will be pretty hard to shoot at this distance. You need to use the ladder from the 1st floor, then use the stair to the last floor, and you will have another ladder to go to the top

Can't kill them with guns either. Watch out, we got damn' badass mutant rabbit over here ^_^

I think it's because you are lauching DayZ Mod in beta-version in Steam. I remember there are some files to copy manually on this folder when you want to use the beta version, but doesnt remember exactly wich one. EDIT: oh, and dumb question by the meantime but, did you properly installed Arma II and Arma II Operation Arrowhead in Steam too ? It's a requirement

Not lot's of smokestack + power lines in Chernarus. Sounds like Elektro (or may be Zelenogorsk, I don't think there is a smokestack but there is a big power supply and power line)

Ok so there are different topics here. Blood: - You can test on yourself your blood type with a bloodtype test - You can test somebody else bloodtype by taking some of his blood with a syringue and then use a bloodtype test - You can take somebody else blood with only a bloodbag kit (no need of IV kit), but you can't take your own blood - You can transfuse a blood bag to somebody else if you combine it with an IV kit first, but you can't transfuse yourself Saline bag: sort of "boost" for your blood, supposed to be not so efficiant than a bloodbag, but seems quite usefull (give back instantly full color and saturation) - You can transfuse to somebody else a Saline Bag IV (IV kit is already include on it) - You can craft a Saline Bag IV with a basic Saline bag and an IV kit Like with the blood, you can only transfuse someone else, but not yourself

To reload bullets in a magazine, you need to take off the magazine of the rifle, add bullets in the magazine, and load the magazine in the rifle. Pretty easy to do if you are quietly hidding in a bush, but during a firefight it could kill you. Instead of, you can have one or two spare mags already loaded with bullets, and just press "R" to load a new mag on the rifle once you finish to spray your 60 first bullets ;)

If you have a holster you should be able to store your gun in it (drag/drop the gun on the holster from your inventory). If you don't have any holster, you nned to have 4 free slots in any clothe/backpack to store the gun

I quoted you ! :D no seriously, I didn't read anything official about this, or have accurate tests to prove it, but it's sounds pretty logic to me too. As the bipod is having a certain weight, it sounds normal that it should make aiming less stable when crouch or stand, and so reduce accuracy

Sure, I'd most probably shooted first as you did if I was in the same situation. Will i shoot on sight a fresh spawn without weapon (or a melee weapon if he is at safe distance)? most probably not. I would even give him a can of food and a drink if I could. But it's not, IMHO, justify to call "COD dickhead" a player that will shoot on sight another (armed by the way) player. If I'm fully geared, alone, without cover on a high pop area, and I meet a armed guy, whatever he is sorting his inventory or not, I'll shoot. If the guy was following you as you expect, then I think it was a good move. I decided to play as a hunter, and he got your friend. It's just a little bit shocking/boring for me to hear player name others players "COD kids" or whatever as soon has they don't play the same way than you play. Because it's the main purpose of DayZ for me: to play the game your way, your style. The game is just a toolbox. Except when there is exploit/abuse (server hopping, combat logging) involved, I think all playstyle should deserve a minimum of respect...

At the end you blame shoot on sight, but the first thing you do when you encounter the player at Pavlovo military base is to shoot before trying establish any contact, dispite this guy obviously seen you first and didn't shoot...

sometimes the graphic engine get buggy as f**k, I have to restart the game in order to solve the problem. But it may leed to quite funny glitch, this is what I see when I move prone to crouch ^^ http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/451783339549932647/E2D6EC0C4967938BA464BBCDBE44F2CE8EA19D99/

You can use FRAPS, but the free version only allow time limited recording, and show a watermark

you can find the mosin in the long farm building too

Probaly a rabbit conspiracy then... I met two of these invicible furry bastard too. No meat on the menu today >:( In addition, I have to mention that they much surely work at the ministery of silly walk :D

you should put your ammo in the shirt, quicker to reload ;)

:lol:

Bolt cutters would be useless, but bladder is a very good idea. Very nice picture by the way ;)

Already suggested, but still want to see this in game ^^

Welcome in Chernarus fellow survivor ^_^ Trust no one, especially when the guy clame to be friendly. After some time as a lone wolf, you will see that some mates are good journey companion, but it's rare ;)

Now seriously, I agree with you on one point: I'm quite doubtfull on the capacity of arma engine to handle my "dream" zombie. As you, I would like to have damn clever zeds, able to socialize, to react to llight during night, to jump on your neck when they are 5m away, to ambush you... I just fear that Rocket goal is only to increase the simultaneous number of zeds, but keeping their current behavior. On the other side, I understand that performance optimization is a mandatory step: if the engine current can't handle more than 10 zeds in a town, it's useless to try to get them smarter or scarier. But (just to flame you a little bit as you seems to look for it :lol: ), it's just an alpha mate ;) They gave us a chistmas gift to show us the work was in progress, now let's get the team some time to show what they really are able to do ^^

you can try to run and jump (keybord "V"), sometimes it helps

same here, and respawn at Novy Sobor o0

hopefully you got a bible, you could try some exorcism on this demonic creatur :D

pr0n :P
