Technically Zombies aren't really trying to punch you. They're trying to tear off your flesh and eat it. Makes sense. This stops when you get better clothing and a helmet of some sort.

Kill em all.... As far as one character per server, I say no. Just implement timers that increment based on how fast you change servers. More than one server change in 120 seconds should lock you to that server for 15 minutes minimum.

First off, great fucking shooting. Second off, love the music. Third off, lol@1:01. And hell, people do this now and it's not even an apocalyptic situation....(Charles Whitman anyone?)

M14 doesn't have enough recoil? In reality or in game? Because in reality....M14 has plenty of recoil. Just make it accurate in game. EDIT: Accurate...as in the realism of the recoil of an M14... (use your words Baker...)

I've only found one type of 7.62. Unless you're speaking of the loose rounds compared to the boxes. In which you have to open the boxes first and extract the rounds before you can load them.

I am not bored. But I also have a full time job, child, wife, and friends that take up a lot of my time. So my DayZ time is very limited unfortunately. But I don't think I would get bored even if I could play 6+ hours per day. This is the kind of game I've been waiting my entire life for, no joke.

I do it when I need batteries....

It's a matter of opinion as to whether what you did was clever or douchebaggy. People still say douchebag btw. I personally think it was a clever douchebag move :)

Dark Souls on Xbox and PS3 would do this. If you joined a party, the game put you in "offline" mode. Unfortunately on PC there is no way to really block a VOIP application that is external to DayZ. Well there is, but I doubt they do it. I would support it if they wanted to block it. Give more purpose to in game walkie talkies.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes that we don't see in addition to our bug report. Bug reporting helps make the devs aware of things they might not find on their own, as obviously they don't have 600,000 employees to play the everliving hell out of DayZ. What's most likely also going on, is data collection. Heat maps, statistics, many things are recorded and give the devs information they need to help adjust the game. When they do these things, they see where players go, what they loot and when, patterns. All kinds of things that help them fine tune the game.

Reread your first sentence :) Nights need to be brighter in general. As it stands, you can't see a damn thing at night. That is actually unrealistic.

Found mine under a bunk bed in a military barracks.

What he said. There just isn't anything server wide. But you can still type to those who are local.

It's not too difficult to accidentally drink some disinfectant. If you're in a hurry looting an area, and you go to loot one of these bottles but you don't have the inventory space, the option defaults to "drink" instead of "pick up and use to disinfect". *That* is not realistic. If i'm in a hurry in reality, say in a similar situation, I'm not going to accidentally pick up a bottle of bleach, remove the cap, and chug it down. It's just a game mechanic that happens on accident. Same as right clicking and mis-clicking the menu choice. As the mod said some people do it for suicide and for science. That's perfectly fine. But accidents that are unrealistic can happen. But yeah, get you some Charcoal tabs asap. I have some if you want to try and meet up, although I can't play until late this evening.

I want to say I saw a video with this exact type of animation and a "give" function where you get to present an item to a player (as opposed to dropping it on the ground) and they can take it straight from your hands. I don't know about the whole "agree to trade" thing. Breaks immersion, is to MMOish, and honestly if you present something to another player and they take it and run...well that's just part of the realistic nature of the game. They could always have just shot you in the face and took everything.

You'll have to excuse me. I'm having a friend for dinner.

I ran into two guys last night at a military base. Ran into the first one in one of the barracks. We both had weapons drawn and pointed. I called out first, he responded. We both said an uneasy greeting and lowered our weapons. I backed away. Ran into his buddy outside. He had a loaded M4 pointed right at me. So at this point with my weapon lowered and this guy had a bead on me, figured I'd try to initiate friendly exchange. So I took a risk and put my weapon away. They both did the same. We had a pleasant conversation after that, offering supplies and gear to one another. I ended up giving them a spare saline bag. We all wished each other good luck and parted ways. This was during the night by the way, which I think raises tension a bit. Was nice to run into a couple cool guys. So it gets seemingly better. Of course things are always better away from the coast.

I wondered that too. Maybe it's reverse in Russia?

Me too. At one point I was hoarding over 60 shotgun shells waiting for my beloved shotgun. But nope, not in the game yet. Your search is over. And you can stop wasting inventory space with useless ammo (for now). To the guy that mentioned the M14. This is one of my favorite weapons of all time (in reality). I really wish M14s were in the game. It would be the only thing I used :D Agree with the fact that automatic weapons need to be very rare. I think a strong reduction in the spawn rate of the M4 is planned. And it will probably continue to be reduced as more weapons are added and the game progresses. Hopefully anyway. EDIT: Here is the link to the other weapons discussion. Feel free to bump it as it already had a great deal of discussion. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159507-guns-i-dont-want-to-see-in-the-game/?hl=weapons#entry1601217

Would give you more than one can of beans if I could. :beans: :beans: :beans: Thank you for your service to the community.

.357 and 2 different shotguns are right around the corner (double barreled and 870 pump). Also the crossbow is slated after that. .357 item file exists, but hasn't been added to loot tables yet. And obviously shotgun ammo is already in the game, so we'll see a shotgun really soon. There was actually a really good weapon thread not too long ago. Let me see if I can find it. Great discussion on it.

Can I give you two cans of beans? :D

Just wait until they fix the Zombie AI, add more, and implement hordes. Things will be waaaaaay different :)

And with the lag that can randomly sneak up on you, it's possible they get in a few blows before the network catches up. And when it does, you're toast. The very first guy I killed, was trying to knock me out with his fists. I was what you'd consider "endgame" equipped. So I lit him up. He actually got mad at me...saying he had no weapon.....I said "seriously?" *gat*
