I have two medkits too with different stuff in it and don't have this issue, I can open both of them

I think the "hit zone" follow the movement of the axe. To one shot a zeds with a axe, I generally wait for him to run on me, then straff and hit when he is on my side. If he didn't see me, I sneak behind and hit with the crosshair in the middle of his back. With this method I succeed to oneshot kill 90% of time

yeah I heard something about that too ! :lol:

it doesn't need to be empty

It's possible only for rifle but not for handguns. Bugs... Bugs everywhere :D

sorry mate, can't see/remember all topics of the board (especially since the SA release ^_^ ), and this didn't sort out the 1st page of my research (I admit that I didn't look farther ^^)

For the M4 you have a ACOG scope with x4 zoom

I admit it could be fun, but from a role play point of view it would not be logical. Most of population is supposed to be dead (well... undead actually :D) so there are no reasons that such difficult to run public transportation would be working. However, on the far north east of the map, there is a nice (but static) train station to visit (don't think it was in the mod)

Didn't equip a Mosin and PU scope yet. But for the bipod, according to description, it greatly increase the accuracy when prone.

Are you talking about the mod or the SA ? I don't think that Zeds disappear on logout on SA. I aggroed a couple of zombie and was running to lost them. Dayz crashed and I was back on my desktop, I launched dayz again, log on the same server, and my zeds buddies was still there hitting on me as soon as I was connected (and not even seeing the map, screen was black, player still loading), hopefully the hit were not doing any damages. Other experience, I was in balota and spotted a Zed (but not aggroed it), I loged out for a lunch break IRL, when I logged in 10 minutes after, my undead buddy was still there.

on the mod the clouds were always moving from west to east, not sure if it's still the same in the SA. I'm not really sure there are major difference in graphics/lights between sunset/sunrise, anyway I'm not seeing any difference... but generally, on the sunrise you start seeing the moon, but in the morning the moon disappear before the sun rise

Was it on a GB server during IG day time ? And the guy you shooted was in the room on ground floor emptying mags to fill a ammo box ?

Lone wolf gameplay is very suitable to DayZ, I'm playing alone 90% of time. You just need to be more careful as nobody will watch your 5 and save you smart ass or take a bullet for you :D . So play it the safe way, avoid all contact and spend some time in bushs/trees lines to observe a place before going into it.

Welcome on the coast fellow scavenger :) On the mod, most of the current servers are running on a "private hive", that means a dedicated database that is not shared between servers. May be you can search to find a "public hive" server, but I don't think there is many of it still running... On a public hive server, all the stuff on your character will be shared on all other public hive servers (but not the vehicules or tents) On the SA, IMHO,all the servers are currently running on public hive.

I found some several times in big residential building like this one:

Hatchet is pretty easy, you just need two hits in chest to kill a Z (or only one if headshoot). The trick is to turn around the Z to avoid beeing hit. Shovel needs something like a least 15 hits to kill, but it's possible to kill with hit. Didn't try other melee weapons yet (dreaming of a chainsaw B) )

I was not sick and used charcoal, I wen orange sick immediatly. According to charchoal tabs description, I believe this should be used only if you are poisonned, or may be it was just because my tabs was in "badly damaged" state, not really sure... Concerning saline kit, I think you can't use it by your own and need another player to help you place the IV. Not sure if you can use a siringue on yourself, I have one but no antibiotics to try...

Same for me, I have to turn it on/off from inventory with right-click, pretty dangerous when you want to turn it off quickly when somebody spot you

May be I'm wrong, but it sounds like loots are spawning on server restart. So if you play on a high population server and the server was was rebooted since several hours, all the city on the coast are already looted by others players and empty. In the meantime, I played on a low population server just after a restart and loot was really easy, in less than 4 hours I got just by looting Balota area and Cherno hospital: - A 35 slots backup pack, with hunting pants, tactical vest etc... allowing me to carry lots of stuff - A M4 with ACOG scope, RedDot Scope, bayonetta, double STANAG mags, enhanced buttstock, attached flashlight - Plenty of STANAG mags and rounds (with a nice ammo ox to store it in) - a handgun with 1 mag - medic stuff - food/drinks - axe and several others tools => ready to go north and have some action :) If loot really spawn on server restart only, I think this might be a problem: - if you play right after server restart, you can get your gear very very (too much ?) quickly - if you spawn on the coast some time after server restart, it's almost impossible to find anything... so difficulty is not really balanced according to me, in some case you get your gear too quick, in others case you almost can't find anything

Same for me then I can't see any servers now, list is empty :( (I'm on the internet tab with a very high max ping) edit: got the servers list back, but still stuck at "wait for host"

Hi, I noticed a possible exploit when switching from primary to third weapon (or from third to primary) with the keybord shortcuts 1/2/3 : - make sure you have a rifle and a melee weapon in your inventory - equip the melee weapon with keybord "3" - press very quickly "2" then "1" => you will instantly equip the primary weapon without the usual animation of the player dropping the melee and equiping the primary. And it allow to switch weapon while still running/walking (the usual animation stop player movement) In a gun fight, it can be used to save some precious time and take an advantage over another player not aware of the trick... Note: this only happens when switching between melee/primary or primary/melee, but it's not working when switching from a secondary weapon (gun) to primary/melee

+1 additional details: - button to live ajust DPI sensibility (and you can set the sensibility level you want with a utility software) - catproof cord :D - adjustable weight - does REALLY not break (almost 7 years now, with intensive usage :rolleyes: )

Nice! thanks ;)

I got that, but on the release note you only mention take (remove) blood from yourself (to fil an empty 4k bloodbag). Will it be also possible to give blood (use a bloodbag to increase your blood level) to yourself without help of another player ? (with a standard 12k bloodbag, or with a 4k bloodbag with same blood type/rh than yours) .? thanks

Hi, I'm really impatient to test all the changes about blood in 1.8.1, sounds nice. :) * [NEW] - Blood types/blood system - You may now fill bloodbags (filled blood bags only take 4k blood and give back 4k) - incompatible blood transfusions will result in extended unconsciousness of the recipient. - Ability to take blood from yourself and other players - Blood types + Rh types are based off real world statistics - ability to take a bit of blood off a recently dead corpes (may yield infection) * [NEW] - Blood testing kit (to determine blood type) and disposable transfusion kit. One question however, if we will now be able to take blood from ourself, did you considered the ability to add blood to yourself too ? Sounds pretty logic, if your are able to put a needle on your own arm to fill a bloodbag, you should be able to do it to add blood too. Of course it could have some restrictions: - no zeds around - being seated - may be longer than if another player transfuse you
