  1. Added to the list of medical equipment and cure for broken legs.
  2. Some people might use it, some might not. It's up to the players how they want to look. DayZ SA opens an incredibly high amount of customization regarding characters. We barely used to have three unchangable skins. We now have a whole set of stuff to combine that might look good, might not, might give your position, might not and so on. Every single kind of clothing is welcomed as every single part added means even more customization, differentetation and it also opens, as you said, the type of character you can be and different situations that might happen. So what if someone just wants to have a mask and start killing everyone and be known as the crazy clown? I wear a mask myself, one of those payday's clown masks. I wear it only because I just found. If I find something better such as a gas mask i will immediatelly swap it. It's up to the people how they want to play, make their history and see the others. I am in a group of three or four people. It feels awesome to have the same clothes, or at least the same colors, the same helmets, the same masks, etcetera. So what if another game has it? NOEZ, YOU CAN WALK, THIS IS SO WARZ. Because someone did it first doesn't mean you can't improve it.
  3. I don't even know if the splint is added or it was a planned feature that Mr. R twitted. I can't confirm as broken legs are really rare right now considering you only obtain them from falling heights.

    Zombies as a cure for KOS

    KoS... KoS Will never change. On a serious note, I believe the PvP will be balanced once bullets are made sacred and zombies work as intended. If you have very few bullets you will think about them. Especially if the gear gets ruined after killing someone. And double especially if any shot can get you an horde of 30 zombies on your way.
  5. You need a syringe. First aid kits come with one. With the syringe you can take a sample of blood (I believe it is non functional, will have to test or at least it serves no porpuse) or load it with anything that is inside the injection vials.
  6. We believe this is like this because you get sort of an "imaginary" state of dirty wounds and the game believes it's a disease. You will not lose blood and we believe this is just an state added to indicate that your wounds are dirty and being cleaned. Might be a bug or changed in the future.
  7. I got my whole equipment wet multiple times and I never got sick, any step to reproduce?
  8. I think that's not live yet. And we haven't died many times if any, we always found a cure before!
  9. That's why i said most of the times :P Every one I found had ABs inside

    Who have you killed?

    Many kills so far. I've only killed one person that didn't deserved it and it was too late for me to stop the bullet. Every other single kills was either self defense or too dangerous to be alive near me. Most of them are idiots who run towards the guy with the big gun with a screwdriver or people who are careless and non sneaky. They killed MAH FRIEND :(

    I just got sick!

    There are multiple diseases as of right now and none of them have a "DO THIS GUIDE". We can assume the cure if we know what caused the disease, for instance, if you drink water from ponds, you got infected by bad water. That kind of disease goes away by waiting, drinking clean water and eating good food. While you're on that disease (we could call it, water intoxication!) you tend to get more hungry and less thirsty, so make sure to get enough supplies. You will lose blood while this disease is in effect which you can regain by being well fed (Actual game status) or getting saline/blood. (Being the first much easier). Other diseases, such as the bacterial infection can be cured in the act by antibiotics, and they are caused by being hit and not cleaning your wounds. Any kind of poisoning (such as drinking alcohol, desinfectant) can be cured by instantly taking charcoal pills after you've drank the poison (when it says your mouth feels funny). If you don't have those pills the poisoning will advance and will become an infection which can be cured by antibiotics. Painkillers often help only to get rid of the pain gained while fighting with something, generally speaking. Vitamins will help you to get rid of the disease faster, as once you've took the cure it will not be an instant GO AWAY SICKNESS cure. Vitamins also get not to get sick in the first case (To be verified). I have yet to verify the action of both antibiotics. I've tested the pills a lot after consuming alcohol and getting poisoned and that cured me, however I don't know how or what effect haves the inyected one. (should be stronger, I assume as it would be IV) Desinfecting anything you will drink with water purification tablets is the right thing to do if you don't know the origin of the water. Apparently water from wells are completely clean and cause no disease. (So far no disease from that water on my side). I don't know if desifecting food will cause a negative effect (You don't spray your food with desifectant!!). Cleaning your wounds via either using sterilized bandages (those in first aid kits or the old green ones) will help with pain too, it will also keep infections away. You can also clean your wounds directly with alcohol or desinfecting rags with teh alcohol too. Morphine is an instant fix for pain if your character is complaining (helps also cleaning wounds). I don't know if morphine helps with blurry vision. I had blurry vision due to shock yersteday and I tested every single thing except antibiotics and morphine. So we can assume it does. Epi pen helps with shock status and might (didn't test) bring someone from the unconciouness state. Defib also helps (as it will not revive the dead). Saline IV (intravenous) works for bringing people from unconciousness. It also gives you a boost on your blood if you don't have a blood donor of your same type. Blood types are based off real information. You can check what type of blood you are with a blood kit. If you receive incompatible blood you will most likely pass out to death. Check google for the donors variables. As of now getting a blood transfusion is extremly risky and not worth it, use saline instead. Do not take anything of the mentioned unless you actually are sure of what you have. Taking antibiotics when not needed will only make you even more sick. Pay attention to the charcoal tabs, they can only be used Instantly after taking the poison and will otherwise make you sick in any other situation. Based off the following we can get to a conclusion: - Clean your wounds if you get hit and penetrated (BLEEDING STATUS) - Purify the water of unknown origins. (Water purification tablets) - Do not ingest anything that isn't food or water. (Intoxication) - Do not drink directly from ponds unless it's a matter of life or death. (Water intoxication) - Always carry either alcohol or desinfectant with you. - Always carry anything to kill the pain. (Painkillers or Morphine) - Always carry extra food or water with you. (If you get sick you will need that extra) - Eating and drinking will improve your condition considerably. (You can also cook I believe) - If you can, wear a first aid kit always. If you play in pairs, either should always have a saline bag. - If you can always have antibiotics. - Avoid zombie confrontation whenever possible. - Unless sure of what caused the disease, do not use ALL OF THE CURES as that will kill you almost instantly. - Clothes DO increase your protection both from ballistics AND impact: - Having all of the clothes decrease the chance on which zombies make you bled in one hit. - Ballistic protection might stop the bullets completely if they have good condition, or else reduce the blood loss. - Bullets will cause you pain no matter if they don't penetrate you. Bullets and any impact will also ruin your clothes. Make sure to change it regularly. - If you doubt, do not eat or drink. - Do not expect too much from ballistic protection, you're not a tank if you're fully geared either. You might get saved from one or two bullets but that's it.

    Can I use a burlap sack on someones head?

    Is it live or for the upcoming patch?

    Blurry, where to get blood?

    If you look carefully at your video you'll notice it fixes AFTER you enter the "video" tab, there's no need to change any option. Already reported on tracker.

    What Have YOU Found

    Walkie takie. They say if you use it at green mountain you get strange bearings from the nordic after life up from skyrim led by the bioshock multiverse theory.

    IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TEST DAYZ!

    I also agree that, if wells are not clean, there should be a bigger water container, as for getting a 100% of non thiristy state you have to drink a lot of times. Downloading the water into a canteen with a few uses, applying water purification tabs, drinking all of the canteen then repeating about five times would be like a "DRINKING SIMULATOR 2014" thing. Maybe with buckets in the future you could easily fill it in a well, drink straight from it and get fully hydratated from it, while also consuming more tabs and way more space than the regular canteens.

    Would be awesome TBH.

    Loads of storage...no food?

    Check towns that haven't been looted. Most of the times coastal towns are empty as my wallet (Very) if the servers are populated. Try going up north, and the first thing you do when you spawn shouldn't be gearing up to the teeth, otherwise this might happen. I usually priorize the supplies then I go up north or somewhere with military loot to gear up.

    Useless Items

    I've came across cooking pots, gas dispensers, etctetera but have yet not found a way to combine everything into cooking. Could I get a tip or two? :)

    Must say this one really annoyed me..

    I am usually into the "EITHER YOU OR ME" thing right now. I don't like to KOS but it's the only way fair right now as the combat logging and all things are not implemented yet. Yersteday I was at balota after a fresh spawn and I got some ammo and an M4. A guy came unarmed and ran straight into me, in reflex I shot him, yet he wanted to raise up his hands. I felt sad but well, my mistake :P In the same place a few minutes later I was at the barracks and a guy with a M4 on his back approaches to me. I don't know why I didn't shoot but he raised his hands, left him go and we both followed our ways. However you can't trust anybody up in the north!

    Item damage taken is far too extreme.

    I was axe'd by my brother accidentally. My backpack, vest and shirt were completely ruined with one single hit, along with everything inside it. I don't understand how an axe swing could fully penetrate my backpack, ruin everything inside of it (35 items), penetrate the vest and the shirt, ruin everything inside of it (considering the axe hits in one place, not all of the pockets), and yet it didn't damage me THAT much. The system is on the right way as it's incredibly awesome, and will be completely awesome once it's finished. Also the damage location IS realistic and taken in consideration. My brother was also axed in the feet and didn't get anything damaged apart from his boots. I've shot several times someone in the legs and all their gear in the other regions of the body was in perfect condition.

    Hackers all over place

    I was shot and received four bullets. I didn't receive any damage AT ALL because they hit me on the kevlar and the ballistic helmet (I assume that from also a great distance). Funny thing is that my kevlar wasn't even damaged. How do I know this for certain? After this my character was complaining about pain, yet no bullet penetrated me as I was not bleeding.
  23. Weapons not only go up when shooting, unlike CS the weapon actually moves everywhere here in Arma. Either ways so far I've had no problems when aiming, yet I haven't tried to shoot anything 300m away from me, wouldn't try it unless i have a decent scope either. @OP: Stop being so aggressive, if you're mad the door is right there -insert door image here-.

    Are you certain that the wells are completely clean? I seriously can't realize when to drink and when not to. The people i've played with always got sick from drinking water while I never got so. I've drank from both sources, but mainly the wells. Yersteday my cousin got sick by drinking from a pond.
