That should be the case , but as said before , the gas stoves + frying pan / cooking pot always burns everything instead of cooking it right , it always comes out burnt even if you watch it ... So for now we all have to use regular fires , I can't wait until we can boil some water and cook some type of Stew in it or something :) !

Bugs from last year ?! I didn't realize the standalone was released last November (it wasn't)! .. And if you don't mind the wait why are you complaining about the wait for these bugs to be fixed lawl ... But anyways the 2-3 minute hang really isn't that bad and i'd imagine it's tied to something deep like server optimization so it might not be as quick of a fix as people think . Patience padawan. Harrison ford is Han Solo once again .

Just roamed experimental for 3 hours , took a while to find a gas canister but now that i have I'm basically set for life ... I first rolled through gorka after filling my tank up to full and also a filled a Jerry can for good measure , so I decided to finally check out northwest airfield again (haven't since vehicles were implemented) I found a good bit of military loot which was good, but I ran the most popular "heli-crash run" for a good hour down to sosnovka and didn't find one helicrash :( I made sure to go slow too so I could find some loot lying in the grass as if the helicopter disappeared but no luck :( anybody find any helicopter crashes in .51 yet?

Lol .50 cal , I remember sitting up on the Chernogorsk industrial towers (the gigantic Amazing ones with lots of space to walk around in) I would always have a DMR with me with a whole backpack full of clips .. One day I ended up taking out a "convoy" of two ospreys , one was carrying some type of truck with the magnetic cables . The first three shots I sniped out the driver of the osprey carrying the truck (his body fell hundreds of feet lol) and the second took about 3 clips of constant running and shooting as he was all over my ass but then another plane crashed into the remaining osprey as I shoot my last bullet of DMR lol , so fucking epic .. All this happened in over watch about a year and a Half ago maybe more , good times but I can't wait til standalone has aerial transport , it will be so much more epic .

All you ghillied - out playas make me nervous ... Will I see the ent man as he comes to sterilize me ? Will I be struck down before crafting my own ghillie suit ? These are all important questions but most importantly , I hope to find two v3s's today as my squad is finally coming online ... Has anyone devised any vehicle rodeo techniques yet ? I've only ever had one at a time ... :) tell me your stories as I can't play dayz for another hour or so .

Train box cars , AND those little row boats that are flipped over on the shore (you can find a bunch near the three valleys spawn , and some near kamyshovo) .

Exactly lol , why have multiples assigned when you could get used to pressing one button ? But regardless it's just a joke sfr don't look too far into it ;) !

^ hell yes man I want a side by side (basically an atv that fits two people shoulder to shoulder) such an awesome off-roading/ working beast it'll come in handy whether you're trying to escape from bandits or construct a log cabin :) ...

Well we know the person playing is unique because he has their repeater placed on the hot bar twice lol ,and I think I see his splitting axe twice as well ? Strange little trick maybe ?

Containers have been in talks for a long time , it's just a matter of getting servers optimized enough to have zombies. people, loot and vehicles along with "world containers" like fridges being accessible or stacks of wood being able to be taken ... It's gonna be a whole new game when were able to do that ..

Good Idea mate , this will really show some people that are losing faith in the friendly aspect of this game ... I meet friendlies all the time so the dream is alive for me , I can usually tell when someone's trying to hide something or is planning something conniving so unless I get that vibe I talk to anyone in hopes they are friendly . Moving around at all times if out in the open and telling the other person to back off or you'll shoot if they are getting too close .. It's all about communication but sometimes people just wanna kill so you gotta stay frosty and quick in case they don't wanna communicate :) ! Keep it going atre maybe I'll cross your path one day and we may help each other lol .

Yessir , friendlies are definitely still there ! Matter of fact I met a freindly cannibal today , I crashed my v3s gracefully over a guard rail and into a tree wedging it there indefinitely.. After getting out of the truck I look over to see a sneaky man coming near me hiding in the bushes so I shoot a warning shot at him (which doesn't deter him ) so he disappears for a second and reappears in front of the truck .. I jump out a second time (I was scared cuz I heard his demonic crying that cannibals do so I jumped in the truck ) and shoot another warning shot to his left as he replies to my warnings of getting too close with "don't shoot I'm friendly " .. So I told him if he could get Bertha out of the jam she was in she'd be his , and that's when I ran to my second v3s hidden in the trees and rode off into the sunset .. :) friendly cannibal , wherever you are and whomever you're eating , stay friendly :P

I got called out of work today by my boss , some serious freaking experimental dayz about to happen . Someone wish me luck , for daddy's seeking the elusive "military tent" today ... :) The End of my Adventure was in the woods when my trusty V3S Bertha, ran out of gas trying to surmount this beast of a hill... She will be missed until later today when my friends finally play dayz again after months of coward style rage quitting =)

Lol as caboose says this he's searching his 5th barn for the hidden v3s.. But seriously, I'm just gonna drop my fear of losing this beauty cuz twenty mins ago I was shot at after I found it near staroye (sorry if I stole it from someone but she was just sitting there in her spawn point I believe :0! ) and now I'm almost out of gas so there's not much more holding onto it I can do .. Maybe I'll leave some supplies and a note by it , in case I never come back home to feed her gas and someone else stumbles across it .. Well if somebody on the forums finds it know that she doesn't like vegetables and her favorite color is dark orangey-brown rust ... Treat her well .

Do you guys think shes hidden well enough for me to go shopping for gas without getting her car jacked ? =)

Happy thanksgiving to all you Canadians and us 'muricans out there ! And all the others too :) ... Hopefully you'll all give me a ride in your v3s's due to holiday cheer ? :)

lol I first encountered two invisible zombies a couple months ago (I think when a new gun was added, like the amphibian or something, so I was searching the firestation of elektro) . I was about to head in the industrial firestation and out of nowhere I hear a zombie yell so I turn and instantly recieve a double hit .... With nothing around me I run confused to the street and just empty my m4 into the opening .. I had hit one invisible zombie I think because after I only recieved one hit , long story still long, I died from the second invisi-zombie D:

Lol rocket , he's such a Myth to us "regulars" but to devs/mods he's just a guy ... Give us dean hall , hicks and maybe torchias in game as well so we may search every server for their names ? ;)

^ thanks hicks .... I honestly have no idea why people think persistence is a problem , I love dropping my stuff down and coming back hours later to see it's still there . The pure PVPers (ones who believe progress towards survival aspects shouldn't happen) will eventually quit when this game is at it's final product, actually having to SURVIVE instead of attacking a newly spawned person who was lucky enough to find a gun and a backpack (don't deny that pvp lovers cuz all of you openly admit to killing ANYONE with a gun and backpack, as if it quells your guilt for killing fresh spawns , yeah right ...) So these persistence haters/hardcore PVPers will soon either quit because it's too "hard for them" (except for harteman , he "powers through gaming" or whatever he said lawl) , or love persistence as much as I do when all the kinks are worked out and item degradation comes in! That's no insult that's just the truth seeing as the worries of these guys seem to be something that can only hinder the progress of the standalone, it's like they would rather just go back to the mod and have no progress towards a better game , which by all means if they are looking for a pvp fest disguised as a survival sim then go play one of arma 3's "zombie survival" mods .

Has anyone found any gas canisters today ? I can't for the life of me find them so there's just a bunch of empty v3s's around the lands of chernarus lol .

Well I know one v3s spawns at the krasnostov convienance store (at the city of krasnostov not the airfield) but they are like the helicopter spawns I think , with like 40 in total and only 20 spawn per server , so it may not be there every restart but it's worth a try for those of you that are close to that area !

Damn , well I'm gonna jump on soon to see if my v3s is still there (I think they despawn after restart ? Or did I make that up lol?) but I really hope for a fix for the server overload/ CTDs today , I can't wait to see people driving these things all over ... I wanna hitch a ride from strangers like I used to in the mod :) good ol' days(z) are coming back but even better this time :) !

Hopefully a hotfix is coming through ? :0 !

Well i had an awesome session despite the CTDs...I'm playing on a super secret server that doesn't ever disconnect me =) and like CAP'N said i believe the amount of people present on the server determines how often people got kicked , as my super secret server only has had about five six tops at once and I've been playing for about an hour straight now, when before i was getting disconnected every five mins on a full server... So i found my V3S at Krastnostav city right in the yard of the convenience store... very convenient i know =). So here are my tips : don't go any where near hills unless you already have speed, in one of my videos i'll show below i had a hell of a time getting up the grass hill near gorka ... I'm currently hidden in the woods somewhere near gorka , someone bring your v3s to me if you can find my super secret server =) . NOTE: There seems to be no storage at all , or any seats in the back that are "ridable" but I'm sure all that will come over the next few weeks , can't wait to see what's in store :) !

Well I'm unconscious on top of mt. Klen , I was starving for a while and my color dipped into the black and white , I luckily had a berry bush by me and decided to pick the crap out of it (this was in a valley below Klen before I ascended it) and I was able to get I think about 10 berries off of 30-40 tries .. Didn't take too long but I was freezing for half the attempts so my blood was diminishing , weird thing was I got to "hungry" status and found a coat and got rid of my "cold" status , and I still passed out minutes after when I got to the top of mt. Klen ... Does anyone else think there's some new type of thing that makes you pass out ? Elevation sickness ? Lol ... Edit : about ten crash to desktops , within twenty minutes of hardcore styled persistence , then I got to play smoothly for three 20 minute intervals with a crash in between each .. Going back on need to find a v3s unfortunately gotta start over cuz my guy randomly passed out at Klen :(
