    Dayz gone because of scammer

    ...where were you trading for the key?

    Farming your own blood.

    Not sure about the whole saline argument...I always thought it was just a 5000 blood replacement.... BUT if you find a blood tester and someone that's O- you should grab as much blood as you can from yourself since it can be used on anyone and bloodbags are more common than saline...you just need to find some testers and get the luck of the draw on your bloodtype :)
  3. something less contentious :) There was a young girl from Gorka Who was known as a bit of a porker She stole all the beans kiwis and sardines And now she's the size of an Orca
  4. There was a young man from Vybor Who used third person as a survivor He ran round with no worry Then got hit by a lorry And now he's as flat as a fiver (I know I know...always the same from me)
  5. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=4774#bugnotes Just deleted like 30 spam messages from that one alone...too easy for people to setup bots to spam links all the time

    losing blood.

    Full stomach does not mean full of enough energy to heal properly :( You have to constantly eat, wait for some to be digested (run around a lot), eat some more etc etc... it's a bit of a ballache, but basically unless your status was 'healthy' before you got hit, you might have to eat a lot before you're able to heal.

  7. Although insta-knockouts *are* possible and realistic. Having them in the game as they are increases unrealistic player behaviour - charging towards an armed man to try and get the sucker punch :s Not sure if the engine takes into account shots from behind/in front, but maybe a stealth punch should be a knockout but not a full frontal assault :)
  8. It only really improves peripheral vision for the 1-2 metres adjacent to your character though...the actual fov is the same. BUT if you really want proper peripheral vision, you'll need a 3 monitor setup and all the hassle that entails (GPUs, deskspace, losing any significant others) ^^

    Pronunciation of DAYZ

    Day zee..although having seen the comments of my compatriots I'll be trying to rectify this to the correct Briticism... on a side note I also call pvp perve pee

    The best atmosphere in this game

    A dark fog effect to restrict view range during the night?

    Getting kicked?

    Take a note of the server details and report them... should lose their right to host

    A few (valid) questions...

    3+ http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/ 4. Learn the various building landmarks around the map (radio towers, lighthouses, apartment blocs, industrial buildings and cranes are all prominent on the skylines). Powerlines, railway lines, contours, shapes of treelines can all help if you've got a map...and once you've done a few days of looking about you should be able to recognise the individual towns from a distance EDIT 5+ Not carrying a gun makes you less of a threat...means you *might* not get gunned down like a dog...or it means you have nothing to defend yourself with

    A night in the "PVE" server.

    boring third person view gameplay zzzzzzzzzz

    Where is the best place to pk people

    *want to be* hardcore bandits surely... The hardcore bandits know what they're doing and where the fresh meat is already .oO

    Death is final?

    @OP kinda... but if you have friends that can camp your corpse... and can navigate to where you died quick enough... you can instantly gear up again (which sucks)
  16. I think a lot of the reluctance of players to move to 1PP from 3PP is because they think the movement and framerate is too clunky in 1PP (I personally have no issues but then I'm not exactly on minimum specs :D ) btw...on that note, people do turn off v-sync right? Cuz that ruins movement and mouse movement if your PC IS struggling... first thing I do in almost every game is turn that crappy function off
  17. Desync...mostly caused by low bandwidth afaik... only solution I found was to only run around in small groups and hope you don't come up against a big bandit group in the vicinity. It's also affected by the number of containers in your group (medkit/ammo case/protective case)

    Why not three hour dayz?

    To be fair, flashlights are broken in that they light up buildings "like a chinese lantern" (couldn't find who posted that originally, but it was spot on)... but at the moment night servers are empty, so it's safe enough unless you're in Balota/NWAF/NEAF/Chern/Elektro
  19. floj

    Wow (Q. on "safe" servers)

    I think he just got over... hex-cited /me gets coat
  20. L4D2 was free a few weeks back...lots of people got it, legitimately DDOS'd Steam on xmas day :)

    Why not three hour dayz?

    Yeah, I think anyone requesting 24/7 cycles is basically the same. Most players play at the same time of day due to RL obligations, so playing at the same time everyday is pretty much the same as playing on a permaday or permanight server. Unless they make it so your player has to setup a camp/barricade a room which remains within the server until you log in again, a night shelter possible for bandits and/or zombies to come across and kill your character whilst you're away. Or you have to setup a watch system with some friends so that you take it in turns to stay logged in to watch your camp overnight. Some occasional night time play would mimic this and if it's employed on the public servers as the summertime 20hr cycle as above, it can easily be avoided by playing on a private server for an hour whilst the sun comes up. Said topic has been reopened by my rebuffing of your argument :P :D Thanks for the accurate long/lat for Chernarus though. It means that potentially night-time could be a continuous twilight from sunset to sunrise without the complete loss of sunlight...all they have to do is change the time of year to nearer the summer solstice instead of the autumn equinox. "At latitudes greater than about 48.5 degrees North or South, on dates near the summer solstice, twilight can last from sunset to sunrise, since the Sun does not go more than 18 degrees below the horizon, so complete darkness does not occur even at midnight." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight
  22. There are planned watches in game, there are compasses in game. Changing the flow of time in the game does not affect any of these things - except you need to find an in-game watch (or work out the time by looking at the sun's position with your compass in hand) rather than checking the time IRL...
  23. As silversx says, apparently there's a hidden condition for each gun itself in addition to the condition of attachments on them. Might be that the gun was in a ruined condition and so wouldn't fire because of that.

    Stuck in first-person

    Sounds like you're in a 3PP disabled server (use filters and 3PP:on or 3PP:off to differentiate in future)
