Hey thanks! I appreciate the info.

I have a few more questions. What's this I hear about "hive servers". Are those private servers? What's the benefit of those? How do I go about getting onto one of those? I'm going to take advantage of Steam's Day Z mod integration to get back into the game this weekend, so I'm trying to educate myself after a long absence.

I've been gone for 6+ months and I had some questions. - From what I've read online it sounds like the bandit skin got reintroduced. Is this true? - Is there any way to store your stuff OTHER than a tent yet? Last time I was checking on the forums, there was talk of underground storage spots, etc. - How are the glitches/teleporting zombies/hackers now vs 6 months ago? Better/worse/about the same? - Do people still just shoot each other on-site? I was hoping that reintroducing the bandit skin might reduce the rampant murder and shoot-on-sight that existed when I played. <---Main reason I quit playing Day Z. - Any other major changes I should know about?

100k joining every week? lol, you're an idiot.

I click on Rocket's name and click "Show Posts" and it will show me the last ~8 posts he's made. How can I get it to show me ALL posts, including ones from days/weeks ago?

The problem is, 400+ threads = thousands of players who think this sh*t needs to change. You can tell me to go back to BF3/CoD or whatever the hell you want, but the fact remains that MOST people are not happy with the complete and total lack of interaction with strangers in-game. And for f*cks sake, don't even tell me to go to a forum or some crap to band together with a group. At that point those people are no longer strangers and it took something OUTSIDE of the game itself to make cooperation work. Currently there is no cooperation between players in Day Z unless it was pre-planned or they're two unarmed newbspawns.I've been sitting back for two weeks now waiting to see what happens with this game and so far it just seems to be getting glitchier and more broken. Instead of doing something to foster player cooperation and improve something people have been harping about for weeks/months now, we got bear traps....awesome?

Every time I approach a barn now, there's at least 1 or 2 zombies in it. Because of their new super sonic hearing, it's impossible to navigate inside the barn without alerting the zombies. How do you deal with them/loot the barn? I usually just shoot one, run upstairs and waste another 10 shots killing the others that inevitably hear the first shot and come running. It's really annoying, but I don't know any other way to do it aside from killing them with a hatch or crowbar (which is really annoying to switch out if you already have a rifle equipped).

The fact that morphine "fixes" a broken bone is ludicrous. Yes, mophine can help you block out the pain of the broken limb, but it sure as hell doesn't magically weld your bones back together. In fact, running on an unsupported broken leg (with or without morphine) would ruin any chance of that limb healing correctly. A splint needs to be added to the game. Using bandages + splint would let you repair a broken bone, but for 24 hours, you can only walk, no running at all. If you had morphine, you could then use it to allow your character to run again. Splints could be more common than morphine, but require a much longer time to administer. Edit: Crap, someone beat me to it by a few minutes.

This seems to be the problem; Person A meets 9/10 people who shoot them in the face on sight. Person B only meets 3/10 who shoot on site. This creates two totally different views of the player community. Personally, in my first week I was shot each and every time I tried to make contact with people who I spotted first. Each time they shoot me instead of trying to make peace. Personally, I do feel this game needs more insentive for STRANGERS to play together. IRL friends and people over teamspeak/vent are not going to suffer this problem.

lol, awesome. I tried pretty diligently, but couldn't get it to deploy in trees. I will give it another shot.

All for morphine. I had 12000 health and had a zombie crawling up some stairs next to me. Then, like stretch armstrong he reaches out 10 ft and breaks my legs. I now have 1890 health but broken legs and NO FREAKIN MORPHINE. I've been raiding towns for 2 hours now and haven't found ANY! So damn frustrating.

SystemiK, where did he say that? I've been following nearly ALL of Rocket's posts for the last week + and I don't remember him saying that. And honestly, if it's for real, that does sound awesome!
