toasted duckie

After reinstalling the game, the update of .49 etc, the game crashes when I try to change any video settings -_- Looks like the game is broken for me, hopefully until they replace the renderer of the engine

Enjoyed, you got VERY lucky a couple of times as well :D But MAN you have so much to learn, standing in the middle of the road in a hot zone talking to people, giving complete strangers ammo, only to be shot at by them later, using a scope when you don't need one and using no scope when you do, turning your back on people, letting people that appear to be friendly take out a gun all of a sudden and think nothing of it, making the same mistake, giving the guy at the end ammo as well... I don't think you realize how lucky you've been a few times here, but nicely done, sir :) Good shot at the guy on the factory as well, I'm not such a good shot, would have probably missed. Also, the guy in the end seemed to had a great experience by running into you. +1

Tunnel vision is a dangerous thing, my friend ;)

Shoot at anything that moves.... Not really impressive and gallery-worthy material in my opinion.

No success..... I'm completely out of ideas :(

I haven't :( I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to see if that works...

Can not believe that noone has mentioned this yet, but that's likely because over 95% of the players make this mistake continuously. Leaving doors open after looting through them. I cannot tell how many players I've spotted because they leave a trail of open doors and how many times I stayed undetected because I taught myself to close every single door I open. But please, keep making this mistake, will only put me in an advantaged position ;)

Sandy vag? OT: I like the idea, something should happen with the notes, making them have more value... I only once found a note written by someone. Some gear stashed with a note to "a fellow survivor" , giving the loot to whoever found it and a "safe travels" from this guy. I took what I needed and put some stuff I had but did not need back :) Edit: something like this, on a tripod that you could craft would be pretty cool

Turn around and head back inland. You've reached the end of the map ;)

Edit: Things got worse. Started up CS:S, resolution was stuck at 720*something at 16:10 ratio. Closed the game, could not change my deskytop resolution to native 1920x1080. Rebooted, reset my dekstops resolution. Started DayZ, which now CTDs when I change any settings.Can't seem to fix... Could be caused by my GPU? Got a AMD Radeon HD 5800

Tried it numerous times, also did not work :( I'm afraid I just have to wait for 0.49 and see if that magically fixes it...

Did not help :(

Do whatever you like, because that's what you should be doing, but some advice: Don't try to mimic what he does, try to be more unique bro :)

I feel for you brother, I really do. Try harder and learn to read the other players.. You'll learn who you can trust and who you cant trust. Also, never let yourself get in a position where the other guy has the upper hand.

Someone has been very influenced in that thumbnail by FRANKIEonPC lol

Beans for doing the right thing. You could have just dropped all the ammo boxes in the Ocean, no? ;)

cloud?

Would be funny to see screenshots of your life fading by :D But not a necessity in my opinion. I rather just try to prevent getting to the black screen ;)

1. No way to view player names online & possibly no way to view how many players are online in game. I like to see how many players are in game, because I like populated servers. Would not mind not seeing names though. b. At least make it so there is no “Oh player x is online so therefore I think he will camp here” Or “Oh that clan is in game I better avoid Berezino” by hiding the names of players online from all but the admin DEFINITELY NOT, gives admins more abusive powers :( 2. No White dot in the center of the screen Agreed 3. Make it so that all items aside from those which promise “Ballistic Protection” do not reduce damage done to you Partially agreed. A stuffed backpack could/should give somewhat of a protection against bullets/ricochets over an empty one. In return it should stress your strength/stamina more according to weight. 4. If/when a stamina system is added make it so that you tire out quicker than regular Yes 5. Less food and safe water sources Yes, although it's been said that the loot tables are not properly configured yet :) 6. Bring back the ultra-dark nights! Yes and no. I can see during the night, especially if there's no clouds. Ones the eyes adjust (40 min or so) you should be able to see to some extend. 7. Server must run a full 24 hour cycle Yes, BUT not 24 hours real time, that would not allow players to play on their favorite server in all conditions (dust, dawn, day, night) if they can play only in the evenings for example. 8. Make adjusting the range on the weapon/scope require the player to actually adjust the sites And preferably make it so that it can be adjusted on sights that have this ability, not on any rifle. 9. Allow for both Third person and First person Hard modes Since I've gone HC I don't wanna go back :D SO IDK as long as there's a first person only mode 10. Lock the FOV and Gamma/Brightness settings to server settings Gamma/Brightness yes, FOV maybe not, because depending on your screen size / distance to the screen it can feel more natural or make people motion sick. Maybe lock it once you're connected to a server? So you can't change it in game? This is positive criticism bro, I like your way of thinking, make it difficult! Beans! My addition: Make the health system have more impact. If you get shot maybe be able to stumble to safety for a while, but ones the adrenaline wears of you're combat ineffective. Have to take care of your wounds and start a healing process, which should be taking a lot of time and care before you're very mobile again. Right now if you get shot you bandage, use splint/morphine and you're good to go. After winning a firefight you just eat/drink tons and you're healthy within the next 30 min. Having the process of being shot taking more time would give a greater sense of accomplishment/survival if it's like this. Even if you don't manage to kill the opponent it would still be a great achievement if you can just get out without getting killed and eventually heal!

Looked familiar, but I saw it in a video of 12H8Bates :)

I think this is where you're wrong: people should NOT have to group up to survive, people do NOT need to make a camp, the Z's should NOT be the end game... The whole core of DayZ is that noone tells you what to do, that is both DayZs biggest strength and weakness. You want to play like this? Fine. You want to sit at a lake, fishing all day and living of that? Fine. You want to be the hero of the South? Fine. You want to kill on sight? Fine :( You want to slay Zs? Run marathons around the map? Sell items? Hold people up? Cut down forests with your axes? Fine :)

I agree that the game should be much harder, but what you may not know is that the zombies and the whole zombie apocalypse in DayZ is largely to have an 'excuse/reason' to have a game in a post-apocalyptic setting. I don't mind having hordes and a lot of zombies that scare the shit out of you and will end you if you don't act quickly and have a tiny bit of luck, BUT: it should be implemented properly and not just an endless spawn of zombies chasing you, with a partially working melee-system and clipping zombies. *this is not a rant, just putting things in perspective ;)

close close? MP5, hands down.

I believe it does, in previous version of the alpha there used to be a txt message indicating whether you get wet or not. It would fluctuate in forest ares ("you're getting wet" .. "you're no longer getting wet")...

We need more forest for this. The new cities are cool and all, but the massive deforestation is starting to show its marks :( I really hope that with the graduate expansion of the map, regions like Green Mountain or Stary Sobor become the south-east of the map :)
