Yeah the lack of can openers is a bit weird, considering every house I have ever been to in my entire life has at least one can opener. Do zombies eat them or something?

I wondered about this too. My i3 has 2 cores, 4 threads, but I dunno what to put in the "-cpuCount=#" for the launch parameters... 2 or 4?

Probably dying because of climbing down a ladder Or falling into the floor in a building. That has never happened to me in real life...

I wouldn't bother trying. You might break it, then have to pay £30 for someone to tell you on the phone whether or not it is fixable...

I think a far more sensible approach would be to make the relevant people aware of the sites in some for of private communication

Its possible that your friend was trolling you

If you don't like the policy don't buy one? Also making threats of violence on the internet makes you look unfathomably ridiculous.

Just to give the benefit of the doubt, the server may have been having issues with people joining and having their char deleted, and decided to include a warning in the name...

Yeah this is the worst kind of combat logger in my opinion. I had a similar thing a while back. I saw someone, said "hi" whilst putting my axe away to show I had no hostile intentions. They proceeded to walk up to me and started to beat me with a baseball bat. I casually pulled my axe out and took a swing at them. *Poof* they logged out.

I agree. I have zero problems with how the mouse works, and I'd much rather wait until more pressing issues are fixed.

I wouldn't say that I'm friendly as that is a ridiculous term that seems to imply that you'd sit there with no other reaction than crying "why Lord, WHY!!??" whenever someone shoots you. I'm resolutely not friendly if you engage me in combat or interact with me in a hostile way. However if you show me that you have intentions that are something other than hostile I will be quite amicable towards you and might even throw you a gift or tell you were I saw something good...

When I saw that ship up the coast from Berezino, I thought maybe that explains the wealth of people of different nationalities that start off somewhere along the coast. Being in a ship wreck, and being washed up on the shore somewhere is a bit of a cool idea behind the spawn mechanic. Of course this is just my interpretation but I like the idea as it explains why you're there in the first place.

Deciding upon a certain dress code for people who are friendly is all very well until the trolls find out what the dress code is...

No one is ever going to stop using 3rd party software unless the in-game system is better/more advantageous. What are people's suggestions for giving in game VOIP an advantage over 3rd party software? I understand why people don't like 3rd party chat programs, but you need to be realistic about things. There are huge advantages to using them, whilst there are huge disadvantages to using the direct chat in the game. If the disadvantage is not addressed there is zero chance that this perceived problem will go away. Ergo the people moaning about it need to have something more constructive to offer because saying "it's cheating" and generally being inflammatory is not going to get anything changed.

I've never ever had a problem finding loot... Scarcity doesn't justify server hopping, it justifies looking harder in places that people might not think to look.

If I die because someone kills me whilst I'm unarmed I usually sigh and say "ugh what's the point?" But other than that I just accept it and carry on.

You don't even need to move Balota, just make it so that fuck all gear spawns there

You know this? How?

There is no way we can get people to use in-game chat functions unless we give them some kind of advantage over using 3rd party software. I dunno how they can make in-game chat more advantage, but there is no other way to encourage others not to use 3rd party software.

I agree... All this autosave shit has made us far too comfortable. I remember those games that if you wanted a break you'd have to be willing to go back to square one...

The thing is that we all experience those situations in which we say "hello, I'm friendly" and get killed anyway. Speaking to someone who might just instantly kill you is putting you as a disadvantage because your guard is down. Its safer to just shoot. I've tried as best I can to avoid that tactic, but it becomes increasingly apparent that it is unavoidable. If I see you, and you're armed and a threat (i.e: got the gun in your hands) I'm going to shoot you. There's no reason to kill unarmed players on sight unless they come too close to you, but there is every reason to kill armed players on sight.

Sorry but the experience of one of your friends does not qualify you to make the broad statement that DayZ is not fun for new players. Try increasing your sample size a little bit....

The fact that you say he "keeps" telling you to go meet him and then you end up getting shot implies that you have fallen for it more than once?

On a side note, I don't think they set out to make the "game that you'd hoped for".
