And you apparently didn't read any of the responses that explained clearly what you are asking about. The timer on login prevents the OP from logging out, sneaking around behind you, logging in fast and shooting you in the back. The timer is great and I haven't had any trouble from it, and as someone else noted above, there's a lot more loot in the military areas since the implementation of the timers as well. Keep it.

Just make it so you can't build more than two stories high, and that floors and stairs must be supported by walls, then you solve the giant tower problem.

Not true, I used to saw through them with chainsaw. You could also use a hatchet, but that took forever.

I don't think I want underground base building, or maybe i just dont understand what it is. I liked the system in DayZ Epoch, what's wrong with just doing that so we can take over existing buildings or make new ones?

Gas mask + Green Motorbike helm = Great looking helmet Shoot me on sight, I'm a teenage KOS bandit.

I don't mind music in the game if others will enjoy it, as the first thing I do when I configure a game is turn music off. I want to hear only the environment and voices. I would like to be able to turn on the radios in houses and hear pirate radio stations though.

Cleaning your wounds DOES NOT make you ill, it only exposes the fact that you are sick. To get well: Clean your wounds once with alcohol if you have it. It isn't strictly necessary; I was sick this morning from zombie attack but didn't have alcohol, still i got well by eating and drinking tons of food. Drink til you are stuffed, wait a while and then eat until you are stuffed. Repeat. When you press Tab and the icons next to your avatar show "Hydrated, "Energized" and you are full of food, then you should see "Healing" then "Healthy." It takes a long time, so keep gathering food and stay away from zeds.

Simple solution: all you guys who don't like being killed on sight, TAKE YOUR ATTACKER PRISONER! If it is your desire to not have so much killing, then disarm the murderers. If you are incapable of that, then avoid them. If you cannot do either of those things, then you and your fellow players must suffer until you ARE able to.

You know dude, if the guy to your left is an asshole, and the guy to your right is an asshole, its actually not them, its you. If you come across in game like you do in this post I'd shoot you too. Think about how you sound and change whatever it is you're doing, because you communicate like a jerk. Of every 10 players I've met in game, 2 have shot at me on sight, 2 ran in terror, and 6 turned out to be friendly or at least neutral. Something about the way you come across isn't right. Figure out what that is (try different things and see what works) and you'll have much happier interactions in-game and in life.

The only thing that needs to be done is for the OP to get off the coastal towns and head inland. The game is fine.

No thanks.

It is the very definition of a skill. What is incomprehensible is that there are men whose lives are so divorced from Nature that they cannot find their way in the woods without help.

...

I think one of the neat things about DayZ is that skills you can learn in-game, like navigating by the stars or sun, can actually be useful in the real world.

Well here you go then. This will help you learn how and gives several different methods. http://www.armystudyguide.com/content/SMCT_CTT_Tasks/Skill_Level_1/land-nav-task-14-determin.shtml Easy method if you only have a wristwatch: "Point the hour hand at the sun when you are north of the equator. South will be halfway between the hour hand and 12 o'clock "

Tulga and Msta are hardly inland towns, you need to go much further. Also check the isolated farms along your way. If it looks like an obvious place to loot, then pass it up. Every other new spawn will have thought the same thing. Just spawn, load up on water at the coast, then head west and northward. You'll find much more when you really get away from the first places everyone looks.

Did you really just indicate that you know where the sun rises and where it sets, then ask that it be changed so that you can navigate? Sheesh. Astronomical Applications Dept. U.S. Naval Observatory Washington, DC 20392-5420 LIPOVA (STARY SOBOR) o , o , E 18 47, N42 44 Altitude and Azimuth of the Sun Feb 6, 2014 Zone: 2h East of Greenwich Altitude Azimuth (E of N) h m o o ... 07:30 -5.0 106.7 08:00 0.7 111.7 08:30 5.4 116.9 ... 17:30 5.1 243.5 18:00 0.4 248.7 18:30 -5.3 253.8 ... If they base the sun and moon off of real data as they did the terrain, the sun appearance at that location would be as follows: If the sun rises today at 8 a.m, it will appear in the ESE, 111.7 degrees east of north. at 1800 hrs it will set in the WSW at 248.7 degrees. This being a game I don't think they model every day's data, so in game this is probably set according to one arbitrarily set date, otherwise the sun would rise and set in a different direction every day as it does in the real world, which would really confuse the OP.

You really are playing the wrong game if you don't want to be "just trying to keep yourself alive."

No it doesn't.

GPS had better never be in game. There's no way to maintain the satellites, without which GPS doesn't work. We shouldn't spawn with a map. It would be nice if we could use a pen to mark our map, but no pen should mean no marking. One thing I've started to really like about DayZ is that it brings out just how little so many of the people who play have the barest understanding of how fragile modern civilization is, and how unprepared they would be in the event of a real catastrophe.

Nope. Go mow some lawns, clean neighbors' gutters, rake leaves, pull weeds, recycle bottles, shovel snow, and save the money yourself to buy a computer. It will be good for you, and every thing you do with that machine will be more meaningful to you since you worked hard to earn it.

I'd be happy with a bicycle. Motor vehicles are difficult to repair and maintain post-apocalypse, but bicycles are relatively easy and should be more plentiful.

Nice vid, I'd rather hear the ingame sounds instead of someone's music.
