Eugen please give us bear traps and bears soon ! BearZ!!

Thanks weyland I've been playing for 900 some odd hours and I honestly only knew about the svetlojarsk one !! I have to go travel to that mountain cave today after work hopefully .50 stable is out by then !!!

Lol it definitely exists , don't listen to the butthurt forum members that only come on the game once a month to bitch about random things ... Like Peter said it's incredibly hard to find and to be honest mate it's NOT worth it unless you like collecting rare guns as I'm pretty sure one of my friends found one and said it has the same damage as an mp5, which are far easier to find ... But to each his own nic, if you wanna be the legit only guy killing bandits with that gun I say go for it but it is hard to find and I would hate to be killed by some punk just so he could take my weeks of hard searching away D: !

Can't wait for new status report :) gimme moar ploX .

I'm pretty sure islands were talked about a while ago :) ... If islands were implemented people wouldn't all have to crowd into the northern forests they could head for the eastern or southern islands :) in my Opinion that would solve a lot of this "deforestation angst" ... At the same time they added those towns sinistok , toploniki, ratnoe, zaprudoe, AND vavilovo and I hardly noticed until just this week lol ... Also that same dev tracker said that they will be adding 4 more "unique locations" and more so hopefully this will include awesome locations like the shipwreck and such ... So hopefully the vast forest that's about 10km squared in between grishino and dubrovka doesn't disappear because then I will have to agree but for now it still seems pretty foresty , although like I said if these new towns are in certain spots I'll have to concur in saying that there will be no true "great forests" anymore just short stretches of woods in between all towns.

Lol yes it is ... C'mon guys don't get so butthurt over sniper rifles , he never said they weren't ever going to add them , he said their focus was to get away from that and that the weapon list leading up to the 1.0 full release is pretty tame but that's no indication of what they will add after (and I'm sure it will come in the form of free patches , not purchasable dlc so all of us will eventually have "awesome leet sniperz" even though all you really need is a moisin any ways =P ). And for people who only care about snipes please stick with arma 3 because a survival simulator is not for you if you're ready to throw away the whole game simply because a high powered sniper won't be added (although Svd is being added , not so "high power" but it IS more variety). Give hope a chance ploxorz ?

Good job mate !! I love hearing stories of the braver bandits robbing people , because I hate KOS and all that shit so whenever I play bandit I do it like you and just rob people .. It really does work more than half the time and is a great way to keep others from hating this game because of the KOS lol .

Hmmm don't you think changing major physics aspects like that would be counter intuitive while trying to swap for a new renderer and engine ? :0 although it's not the best time for stuff like that in alpha , I hardly think that they would leave vehicles and glass windows invincible for the 1.0 release , that's a huge thing that they can make strides on from the mod and if I remember correctly theyre switching the engine/renderer to break free of the engine limitations of the rv engine or whatever it was called so im assuming (very boldly) that well have stuff like this at least for the 1.0 release :) !

Yes I would like epoch to stay FAR AWAY from standalone please :) ... Standalone is a completely different idea than epoch ... It's like this , dayz standalone is what would really happen if only a few thousand people could survive a Zombie virus , the natural dangers of the world would become even more dangerous , people wouldn't trust each other although there are still groups working together, there is NO AI besides zombies and animals, this is the realistic view of the end of days and more so enjoyable for a video game (in my opinion) ... but Epoch , epoch is more like the retarded cousin of the realistic apocalypse : everything went to shit yet everyone is still acting as though nothing happened with invincible safe zones accommodating large groups of clans playing the trader merchant role who's true intention is to find every damn vehicle on the map and sell it at a high price to the Ai merchants so no one new to the game can find one lol ... Epoch , having played the original and the new arma 3 epoch , is no where near the experience dayz sa is at ... Even the KOS is worse seeing as you can't tell people to raise their hands and you can't even restrain people as far as I know , and Believe it or not those two things really help eliminate KOS for the people who are merciful and end up getting the jump on another .. Overall I can't wait for standalone to have vehicles and work out the kinks of the loot respawning and zombies , because that's all this game needs to be the best seeing as like many have said already , the mods like epoch and breaking point are incredibly Buggy (with less intention to be fixed seeing as they are based off of an engine they can't screw with and fix , unlike dayz standalone) and very clunky in terms of controls (inventory controls too military based you can't even choose your outfit head to toe you have to find premade ones) and on top of that your character feels too swift in epoch , it's like you aren't carrying any weight and your guy is Rambo lol , just lots of little things add up to an unrealistic and non - immersive anti- survival setting that at the end of the day , is ONLY fun if you have Friends playing with you and have the off chance of finding one of the 65 vehicles on the map that's roughly 4 times bigger than chernarus !

I will check for you when I go on experimental today in a couple of hours ... I've been wondering this too , and you are right some people don't bother to try it and just assume we're crazy and we don't know about the "short time frame" before it's burnt .. I can't wait for these gas stoves to work properly .. But any ways I'll check today when I get a frying pan / cooking pot .

Lol next time don't try and pitch it inside ! I noticed you said the tent didn't like going downstairs ... If you kept it in your hands you could have brought it downstairs and pitched it outside silly mo-trucking goose ! But if you pitched outside and it disappeared it's probably just afraid of your generally awesome knowledge of sarcasm ? =P Also I think storing tents in backpacks is just a myth , or so that's what my experience tells me , everytime I find a tent I can't store it in my backpack just in my hands ...

Green bell pepper. :) if you kill me you'll always find green bell peppers all over my inventory :) happy hunting ladZ ! ;)

Don't lose your hope Dave , I roll with a group of four occassiaonally if I'm not lone wolfing it , and i always find friendlies ... You just have to "force them into friendlieness" so to speak by getting the jump on them while having your weapon out and then turn the conversation freindly when you know he's not a blood craving maniac lol .. But I love your idea , i honestly have to say though my group would rather do this at Zelenogorsk like someone suggested earlier as it is farther from the spawn points and for me and my groups experience, is more friendly because of that ... As long as we survivors don't mess with the northwest airfield too much I'm sure we can make this work .. I live in the us east coast so generally I can do any server but the aus/signapore/de servers... So if you establish a good server for the first experiment to take place , and also re edit your first post redefining the "safe areas" where we all should meet , and when (it should be at certain time frames of the day so we can organize a bit , but like 3 different times a day for a week or so so we can nail all time zones , the most dedicated ones could try and attend all three during one day to fill in all new comers as to what these "safe" zones are all about). But I again like to speak my opinion and say I think these zones should be based out of Zelenogorsk or towns similar , ones that are far away from spawns so at least we don't get a bunch of bored fresh spawns attacking us , just the geared bandits that are to be expected anyways .

Dayz SA: been pwning since decemeber '13.. But it seems to affect a very small minority in this way , I've never died of hypothermia except for when .49 was on experimental I believe , no one could keep warm cuz axes , matches , and food were so scarce and i believe it was set to winter months ... But now the only ones dying of hypotermia seem to be the ones that are glitched and can't warm up by the fire . It's gotta be a location / server glitch but also like others have said make sure your clothing is pristine and that you wring out your wet clothes when they get wet , also hoodies even when pristine don't seem to warm people up for shit lol

Yes I can't wait until horticulture/farming is expanded , all of chernarus should be plantable , the cows should be "milkable", chickens popping out those eggs .... But in my opinion like everyone else has said the timer for growing plants and chickens laying eggs should be increased , but I don't believe it should be any more than let's say 12 real hours to grow a full plant , and I'm not even sure if 12 sounds like too much or too little but well see soon . Also I would love to eventually see somehow , solar (gas? If it's safe for plants) heaters and grow lights so we can grow indoors just in case our base is smack dab in the middle of the city and it's too dangerous to be farming outside all the time ... It sounds far fetched so I wonder if it would fit in the world of dayz lol... Also I hope we eventually can get animals we've domesticated to mate and have more animals ... Imagine nursing a pregnant cow for 2 weeks straight lol , logging on 2-3 times a day and spending a few hours with old Bessie to see if she needs anything haha so awesome .

Please do this again for tonight ? I didn't see this post til now ... :( everyone has Halloween parties on November first why not right :) ?

I'll Christmas ceasefire :) I'm strong enough to enjoy the holidays and not fight back for one day :) !

If you have an akm and ammo on first person experimental I'll definitely play ;) just haven't played stable in weeks lol ...

You can stay alive while helping people you just have to be extra cautious and like nettles said , never turn your back on them never help someone alone (unless you're lone wolfing) and never give the "trusted stranger" a weapon ! It's not as impossible as many like to believe !!

Ooh if that's what modular inventory is then I'm all for it :) ...

I do too , I liked the old inventory and didn't mind scrolling through it ... well just have to see if their final build of the new inventory is better than that one they were presenting :0 !

I'm extremely happy with the progress and honestly to see, finally after years of participating in crappy open alphas , a great open alpha with great attention to detail , a good amount of "fun" content added like weapons and items and clothing , and a very well balanced addition of mechanics so the game isn't dry all the while boasting the best player to player interactions any game has ever seen (if you know how to handle others , otherwise you will be shot on sight lol). In my opinion they could have made this alpha public even earlier , more people would complain but we'd be EVEN FURTHER along then we are now ... People love to complain about the fact that a mod being made for over two years that was based off of another game made and perfected for over 10 , is better than a game that has just recreated itself and is only less than a year old ... But in my opinion that's just natural to see something wayyy older have more to it , when standalone reaches it's second birthday (December 2015) people will have Long forgotten about the mod because why would they want to stay In a clunky , heavy military oriented, mod with hardly any potential because of script and engine limitations when you could just play a standalone game with a newish engine written specifically for the game , with sleek new inventory and better controls , LOTS more attention to detail including the ability to enter any house , the ability to store items in any piece of clothing with storage .. standalone will be the first to have a unique injury system as well AND I'm going to go out on a very short limb here and say that their vehicle collision system is going to be just short of Amazing : seeing the front end crunch up against a tree as the airbag deploys knocking the driver unconscious ... This is the potential we see for standalone , not arma 3 breaking point mod , not dayz mod 2015 , and certainly not any other zombie game we see out there.. I agree with what someone else said : standalone with it's great legacy of dayz mod and with it's great potential of standalone , brought in a TON of people who can't handle an early access game that has a clear directive that may not match their own (to create a well balanced play over more than a year of alpha testing while also providing plenty of fun things so people don't get bored all the while injecting certain new mechanics at exactly the right times so these new mechanics can get tested and placed properly) . People love to bitch about how long it takes an artist to paint a mural , but at the end of the day , after the work is complete , everyone always agrees that it couldn't have been done better any other way . Edit : 39 likes and 19 disappointed , guess we know who the bitching minority is :D ! <3

I've seen status messages come fifteen minutes after logging in so yes , it could be on a timer lol ...

Yes and beware I could be superstitious but I'm pretty sure experimental branch wipes characters without telling you that red message more often than stable does ... But yes never try to join the same server after it tells you it's been reset as it usually doesn't give you your character back , but through my experience if it doesn't say that red message you can join the same server and it WILL bring your character back ... So like someone said above there could be two issues : 1) red message telling you the server is having issues connecting to the hive, to fix it it seems you have to join another server to hopefully regain character. 2) the server DOESNT tell you the red message in the bottom left. When this happens my theory is to LOG ONTO THE SAME SERVER as it doesn't have connection issues with the hive , it just for some weird bug reason decided to flag you as a new character.. IMO these are two different character loss scenarios ... Be sure if you get the red message or not because if you DO get the red message and log back ino that same server you're almost guaranteed to delete your character for good , and like others have said DONT move or do anything when you log in and see your character has been wiped otherwise you will keep the new character because the database/server will have enough time to save this new character. We need a guide made if we figure out for real that there is 2 different reasons wiping characters lol .

And this is why I'm glad both Bruce lee and chuck Norris made their mark on Europe Asia and America alike ; our police forces now flying kick through criminals windshields ... Lol best thing seen at work all day .Edit : just so there's some relevance in this post, I first found my tent near devils castle when tents first came out like 2 months ago .. I pitched it right in that half circle corner wall it was the most exciting moment I've had in dayz for loot (well up until I grew my first tomato crop and locked/unlocked my first "base" to store loot in it) I can't remember what server it was on but the next day it was gone from my hands after I packed it up and placed it in hands :( !
