This is the second time I've seen wire cutters mentioned, are they really an item in the game?? Never seen em before.

Played some on your server last night and had a good time! The server name seems to indicate that it's persistent now, is this true? I've been having an awful time finding persistent servers and wasn't able to test whether or not it was last night.

Tried catching sardines with three separate water bottles to no avail, but I heard that it wasn't working back when I tried it. Could have just been bad luck though. Are carp cooking properly now? Thought about trying fishing for the first time the other day but wasn't sure if I could cook em. Seems like chickens are everywhere since 0.54. First time I heard one I thought it was another player - scared the crap outta me. :blush:

Deer, boar, and chicken seem to be just about everywhere except north of the main road to the north so I'm not sure what you mean. Cows are the only animals limited to select areas.

Bro you're all over the place; stick to a topic. If the game upsets you so much, don't play it. I for one enjoy the game and have faith that it will get exponentially better in the coming months and even more so at the end of the year. Player drop was easily predictable with an early access game. I haven't seen a single cheater since 0.53 and they have been dramatically reduced since the anti-cheat updates. You're lying if you claim otherwise.

In experimental it seemed pretty spread out and from what I've heard it's looking pretty good in stable. No major loot bombs or areas without any loot,

That's just for the latest 0.54 experimental. Here's another changelog for the previous build: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2wsc2g/unofficialexperimental_changelog_054_2202/

Or maybe people who drive manual are just more likely to park their own cars! :D Just kidding. They're definitely more rare than autos but a good portion of my friends drive manual by choice. These days, however, autos are becoming a more popular choice everywhere as they are not only more efficient, but better performers. I'll never give up manual though!

Or 3 logs. Also keep in mind that wood is depleted as it burns so you may need to add more to keep the fire going.

Survivor Gamez was earlier in the day but I'm glad you posted this anyway - had no idea this was a thing before. The steams from the OP were just a relaxed play session where they all went to Alcatraz island

Can't decide which channel to watch so I opened 3 simultaneously.

Awesome video man! 1PP battles are intense - it's awesome not knowing what's around the next corner. :)

Gabe's comment from the feedback tracker: -- Sorry for being unclear. Once you have the pot attached to the fireplace (via tripod or 8 stones) right click it and select "view contents" then add the meat or can to the pot inventory. If the fire has enough heat (you now need to add fuel to it) you will see the items in the pot get a red background and meat will become cooked in 1-2 minutes. I have successfully cooked meat in .53. NOT A BUG. (fish fillets are bugged however) Putting something in the fire inventory is like sticking it in the burning wood. Of course it will be ruined. -- Sounds like it may be a UI problem (having to view contents of pot to add things) after all..? Also curious - If you can eat raw meat, then what's the benefit of cooking it?

I'm trying to test to be sure that steaks still do this with a fireplace + tripod + pot (since no one from the bug report exclusively says they've tried it) but for the life of me I can't find a damn pot.

I've had issues with this as well - it seems to be a bit more finicky than before.

Voted disease but it's kind of a toss up for me. My top choices are: -Water boiling/disease -Stamina/weight system -Hunting (w/ new animal AI) -Cooking (this is getting better on exp.)

-New renderer -Diseases -Advanced animal/zombie AI -More crafting -Central economy & persistence improvments

I kind of figured that's how it would work prior to him ever commenting on it.

What does your armament have to do with it? I mean aside from the helmet, which should have protected you from the hit, being geared doesn't protect you from a good ol smack in the head. Should have been watching your back! :D

I don't like it, but it's here to stay. I have yet to use any 3rd person voice communication software so I'm usually at a disadvantage. At most I've typed to friends over Steam in order to meet up and whatnot. Everything else is in-game.

Chill out man - no need to attack his playstyle. There was obvious desync at the end. His initial actions may not have been the best, but the desync certainly didn't help the outcome for him. At 1:58 his buddy says that he's unconscious and that he hopes he wakes up soon. Also, the gunshot sounds are coming directly from the enemy and he doesn't appear to be holding any weapon (bug) but his arms are held out in such a way that he *would* be holding a rifle. Also, I'm a 1PP purist but to say he deserves to die for using 3PP is just childish.

I *think* that there are actually 5 now - just spread over many more spawn points. The 2-truck boost came with the Christmas update. Relax man, it's just a minor bug. There were much more serious issues that had to be dealt with before and during experimental. This isn't exactly game-breaking. And yes, trucks are not yet tied to persistence so they respawn upon server restart. This is the main reason I haven't bothered to look for them (though I've found two by accident).

Glad you got that off your chest; now you may sleep a nice nights sleep.

Good suggestions all around, especially those having to do with ropes/quick access bar/backpack. As far as your recent suggestion, I believe there will be a stamina/weight type system added in the future which will address the unlimited sprinting issue. Not sure if bikes are planned to be added or not, but I wouldn't be against the idea.

Specific feedback is for the feedback tracker and otherwise the alpha is for load/volume/stress testing and gathering data on a large scale. I personally love the direction of the game but I'm not sure the community is entitled to adjust the direction of the game simply because they paid $30. You simply purchased the rights to participate in an alpha - not become a member of the DEV team.
