Strange that I developed an infection/got sick from being hurt by zombies a couple of weeks back. The reason I couldn't have poisoned myself? Because of my self imposed difficulty of only eating and drinking from pristine containers, only using pristine med supplies, if pushed I'll use worn bandages but ONLY if I've disinfected them with pristine disinfectant first. I had to take a full course of pristine Anti-Biotics over a period of an hour to get rid of it. The only way I'll drink water from a well is with a pristine water canteen using pristine purification tabs. See a pattern forming.... :P

Like the saying goes... Choo-Choo Motherfucker!

That's cool. Teamspeak 3 is free and a small sized download. It's one of the least unstable chat programs for gaming too, it's what our clan uses so get in there man, we're a friendly bunch.... also like somethingbloody said, keep him on your friends list and add one of us so we can follow YOU in, that way the target wont get too suspicious if I add him myself... anyway everything else has been said in PM so, yeah...... :)

So then by that logic you're saying that for a person to loot or bury another players body, in a survival simulator, then the player who died shouldn't be able to start a new game on that server? Yeah, and have it give you positive effect points for sanity or humanity and then for a smaller humanity/sanity boost, have an animation that can only be activated at said cross so you can pay your respects. Seeing as the idea of the game is to see how people would react in this situation it would be neat to have little things like that in the "sanity" mechanic Rocket mentioned.

If you have access to Teamspeak go to www.foxcompanygaming.com. We have 2 clans worth of players that I'm sure will be up for a laugh in hunting this Hoof Wanking Bumblecunt down for you. Especially if you tell Flexor the guy you're after is a Russian :)

Eat and drink until you are at bursting point, make sure you aren't suffering from any illnesses and your health and blood levels will start to replenish by themselves. There's no single fix for any "ailments" you may come across in game... And some of the status effects need regular treatment over a period of time in order to get rid of them.

I agree, Player corpses should be persistent until either "buried" by another player, which should leave a wooden cross with an epitaph to read, and/or when the server restarts.

I don't get responses like these... The game will be twice the price once it's finished. What you should be basing your decision on is whether or not you liked the mod as the mod is as close a representation as you'll get to what Rocket is aiming for with the Stand Alone. Buy now, pay half, get the finished product at no extra charge when it's released. Even if you buy it now and don't play it until it reaches Beta in a year or so then you're still saving money. It's a no brainer.

First it's in Alpha so ALOT of features are not working and wont be for sometime yet. Secondly, helmets in general don't remove all possibility of losing conciousness... Rather they limit the overall long term damage obtained from a concussive head injury, eg brain damage, detached retinas, broken teeth to name a few. Thirdly, ballistics helmets are not bullet proof, they aren't designed to be, they are bullet resistant. The chances of a ballistics helmet taking a direct hit from anything bigger than a pistol round and it NOT penetrating are actually quite slim. As I was taught during basic training. Just because the guidelines state that "in the event of a nuclear attack, reduce your profile as much as possible by going prone, with your helmeted head pointed towards the explosion..." doesn't mean that it will guarantee that you'll live through the event. All you are doing by wearing a helmet is increasing your chances of survival, not guaranteeing it.

You can have it on 2 separate STEAM running computers (with the same account) but you wont be able to play them both at the same time as they will have the same GUID. And I wouldn't recommend connecting with one and then trying the other to see if it works because you could find yourself global banned by Battleeye. In fact can you even load 2 lots of the same Steam Account at once?

I agree with you on that point and think that color saturation is a good indicator of health levels, however the soft focus bullshit has to go. No game should have a feature that causes it's users to get headaches after 5 minutes in the manner that I do because my eyes can't focus properly and I end up straining them. Last time I played I lasted 10 minutes before having a migraine that lasted most of the day. All the effect succeeds in doing is demonstrating what being short sighted is like, which I am, and already have correcting lenses for. Guess what made them worse over the years... Straining to focus on things that my eyesight couldn't resolve. Which this effect forces on you. Lets face it, if I wanted to make everything hard to see and give myself a headache in the process, I'd just take off my glasses or take my contact lenses out before launching the game.

You have read the disclaimer everytime you load the game haven't you? C'mon guys, we're a month into the Alpha and people are still surprised that Alpha type bugs are happening. Really?

Yeah melee is clunky at the moment but hey, it's alpha. Besides, the fire-axe is all you need as it's a 1 hit kill even when it's badly damaged. Run at a Zed with it raised, make your swing with it about 3 steps before contact, *crunch* (at least, 9.5 times out of 10 anyway) Zeds dead baby, Zeds dead....

I've had this happen before, moved some gear around in my back pack, lost connection, relogged and found the items I'd moved around had gone. Just a bug, will get sorted. :)

Nope, never have, it's supposed to be against the rules and is for people who are too obsessed with their gear. Would be good if we could have our corpses stay in the game though so if we die we can have a chance to get to our bodies and retrieve any gear that's not been looted.

I think melee combat is clunky enough the way the engine is right now so I don't really think the ability to kick would be worth it. Maybe if they sort the hit detection out...

Lol believe me, I can think of better places to keep a pistol if all I had was my t-shirt, jeans and trainers... wouldn't be in my pocket that's for sure ;) And in that case he wouldn't have gotten near me to bop me with his axe in the first place. If he'd wanted my footwear he only had to ask.

I don't get why people do that shit. As a fresh spawn I had a guy yesterday in Elektro power station beat me to death with an axe, even though I blatantly only had my clothes and nothing else. Just what do people think they are going to gain by murdering people for nothing this early in the alpha?

+1 on that. I've been a long time player of the mod and thought that, for a few months, I'd just stick SA on whenever announcements and improvements were made and keep playing the mod. But I haven't, SA even this early is surprising me with all the little things you can find but not quite use yet... can't wait for more updates, BRING 'EM ON! Dean and the boys keep going the way they are and they're winning :) Keep it up.

Lol fanny.

Hey, I like flipping random people and Zeds off as much as the next person. But that's taking shit too far :P

Hahaha, pretty much sums up what went through my mind as I finished reading the OP :P

My only recommendation to you would be to find a non-PvP server to play on. They are out there, the matter will just be finding one with good admins that properly enforce the server rules. And have a word with the family about getting proper broadband. Sharing a single pay as you go dongle for a family, particularly one with a gamer is a needlessly expensive way of doing things. Nevermind the fact it's hopelessly unreliable, particularly during storm weather.

Not to mention a complete lack of commercial advertising... I've seen what? One official trailer so far?

You still don't seem to be grasping the concept of what the term "DayZ Standalone Early Access" means. How many more people are going to have to reply with "Early access is meant for helping the devs find bugs and glitches as content and features are added and is not meant as a finished game in need of some bug fixes and polish" before you get it? Even with the plethora of responses suggesting this you're still talking like what is in the game now is ALL that is going to be in the game, even when it's finished. If that's the case then take it on the chin, uninstall the game and accept that you've wasted your money, again. Do that, and give us a rest from your ranting. If you've played better games then go play them. Meanwhile over the next 12 months the rest of us will be trying to find bugs for Rockets team to fix. Therefore contributing to a game that has elements that make US want to play it.
