Odysseus (DayZ)

I would also like to see the desaturation toned down until significant illness/injury. DayZ is so pretty, the first five minutes of life.

This is why I never, never go up ladders in this game. Ever.

I had two of those cases... 'til someone killed me.

In my opinion, it'd be grossly stupid to issue "demos" for an Alpha that everyone else has paid for, sight unseen.

Found these jogging shoes up north and thought they looked awesome... are these rare, or did I swap out my Pristine rubber shoes for common shoes you could spawn with? Sadly, I do not have socks. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/505826534835044871/EDA9E5B233C170BA968825DA42F80DED869F3B7F/

A lot of people aren't even friendly in these forums, why expect them to be anything but pricks in-game?

I wouldn't consider that a "major bug" as it doesn't prevent me from playing. If I could prioritize their work load, I'd say "make the zombies work" before "make sure bandits can loot my corpse"...

Coolest book I've find was Ovid's Metamorphoses... Had to dump it for food, though, :(

Sadly, not actually in the Bible.

Re: M4 Sound I've got an M4-type (14.5"), carbine length (16"), and standard (20") AR-15. Words cannot describe how absurdly loud the M4 is, compared to even the carbine with just an inch and a half more barrel. Instead of simulating the actual hearing damage one inflicts on himself by firing the real rifle, perhaps we could have a few seconds of "ear ringing"...

To more efficiently carry all of these Pristine can openers I'm hording. Obviously.

Stand your ground. If someone comes at you after a warning, drop 'em.

I've been playing with a fellow forum member, here, and we've had fun just looting a town and saying, "What's next?" We're gradually moving North West, we've not encountered any people, at all. I haven't a clue what we'll do if we actually run into someone... I don't look anything like a bandit (yellow rain coat, gray pants, red hat), so maybe I don't get gunned down senselessly.

Maybe when things get out of Alpha, we could submit our own stories to be books in the game. :)

Charge at the wall, at full speed, and chances are, if you time it right, you can log out and into a new server and be standing in the street.

The bandits can wear their mustaches. The roaming, wandering mountain men their beards.

First, before anything else is done with them, the zombies need to be fixed so that they don't teleport through walls, doors, and fences. They need to stop following me like they're heat seeking missiles. Being lootable will be nice, as it gives incentive to actually kill them. Then, the melee system needs some work. It is awful, one of the ugliest melee experiences I have ever seen for a game that expects heavy melee use. One stroke with an axe is all it should take, but the contact should be much more rewarding than it is. Perhaps this will feel better once the zombies are ragdolled. Once they work right, THEN boost their spawns and see what happens. At least, that is how I would do it.

Combat log doesn't count when unarmed and being chased by a wall hacking zombie. Imho

As badassed as an fal would be... I want a bow more. And a saber. And a harpoon. And a spear.

I was thrilled to find Ovid on a shelf. I want Iliad and Odyssey and Aenid, too.

I'm not hungry or thirsty, but my character is grunting from a zombie bite. Any tips? I've been surviving on my own for a loonnng time. I will be so sad if I die.

Thanks guys. I'll update.

I haven't really done anything to distinguish myself as a hero, but I've avoided the hell out of people when I see 'em.

I have neither robbed nor killed, only used the empty rifle as an instrument of my escape - so maybe I am an incredible exception to your law. But I still propose there must be a better alternative than throwing up your hands and shouting "I surrender" and hoping your volunteered master isn't sadistic like a majority of players I'm DayZ. Run away, might be the best advice. :)
