I think (hope) we'll eventually have this as there's already wet status for clothes. Survival game without such a major aspect of surviving is only half of a survival game. It shouldn't be a big danger on a sunny day but during windy or rainy day and ofcourse during night you should make sure to wear some warm and/or water proof clothing. Wet clothes suck body temperature very fast and if i remember right about 80-90% of body temperature exits from head,so don't forget to use some warm hat! :) Fire should be necessity every once in a while,interesting addition could be possibility to make fire in houses as most of them seem to have a fireplace. Also it should be opposite that too much of clothing while running in middle of day should dehydarate you faster. p.s. I don't care for this to "punish" snipers,i just want more survival aspects.

Try changing "mouseSmoothing=1;" to 0 in: ../Documents/Dayz/yourname.DayZProfile E: Nevermind apparently it is in game options. :)

Oh,got to try that. Thanks! Edit: Lamp and gas canister are both pristine - still the same.

Currently if you've been eating and drinking enough you start to regenerate blood quite fast. What i'd like to see is sleeping speeding up this process. It would be optional to either wait longer to get your blood back or you can just go to your tent or whatever and go to sleep,leaving yourself vulnerable but getting blood back considerably faster.

Found it. "Design: players who disconnect when restrained will die " http://steamcommunity.com/games/221100/announcements/detail/1495491571550201802

I thought i read from changelog or elsewhere that disconnecting while cuffed (& bleeding) resets character. You sure that it doesn't?

In my opinion we should be able to talk to other survivors without everyone in the town hearing you. Therefore i suggest to have current direct channel (50m range?) as "shout" and create another called "talk" with range of about 10 meters. Realism,right?

If i don't have primary weapon i take .357 magnum over the fnx .45 to have better chances against players. Otherwise .45 to shoot zombies with and to have flashlight in same. Btw. i've found only about 4 x .45's in this patch and 3 of them bugged so i couldn't pick them up. Revolvers everywhere!

In mod possibly not first but first that i remember. I had been killed multiple times without harming anyone and at this point i still believed people would actually work together through apocalypse. :) Anyway, i found sniper rifle from someone's tent,propably dmr so i thought it's my turn to revenge all those deaths of innocent people. Wondering what's good place to ambush someone...balota! So i positioned to "sniper hill" as you'd expect. Waited for eternity and just as i was leaving i saw someone sneaking up in the air control tower. He was just a survivor like me but i thought since i had been waiting for so long and you never know if he's friendly or not..i need to kill him! I aim and "pull the trigger". Survivor drops to the floor. I was so full of adrealin from this cowardish murder that i don't know if he died or was just unconcious. Actually i didn't want to find out as someone must have heard this shot so i started running to forest,i ran and ran for kilometers. Not much of a story and actually my most humiliating death is much better. First "kill" that i remember but definetely not the best. Not any worth mentioning in standalone,only murders i've committed have been just after spawn basicly just fucking around and not playing the game.

Trying to build more neutral look so i ditched most mil gear so just maybe i won't get shot for having good gear or just looking blood thirsty murderer. :) Finally found all items to craft backpack (classical dayz phenomenom when you need something it's nowhere) so i ditched hunter backpack. This one looks better and keeps me actively scavenging cause of its small size.

There's nothing like having a beer whilst enjoying views. Night falling over Berezino.

Hi. I recently came back from a small break to play the new patch. I used to occasionally play on falcon rp/realism server but now that i try to play i get "confirmation of changes: session lost" after a minute or couple i've got in game. When i rejoin i get same all over again and after multiple reconnects i get it before it starts to even load. So i don't know when this problem started but currently this is only server that i have such problems with. I contacted admin and there doesn't seem to be any ban that would prevent me playing there. I tried to search for this problem and only people that seemed to get this message have also been vac banned and can't play at all. My steam status is "in good standing". Anyone have any idea what would be the problem and is there any fix? Regards,K120.

Did small testing and comparison video of standard & sawed-off Izh43 shotgun if someone haven't found one yet but is interested to see. If you ask me sawing off your shotgun isn't going to be worth it atleast for now. (Cool feature nonetheless.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o26UvcYBKrY

Exactly. Why would clothing that improves your chances to survive be exclusive to murderers.

I found shotgun from a barn. Same as the thumbnail of this video. Also neither of these shotguns fit inside a backpack. I think storage size is same as other primary weapons.

If you have speed loaders you can reload directly with R without going to inventory as long as you have speed loaders in inventory that have rounds loaded.(Same way as reloading in mod.) It's just that i had only one speedloader. Yes,effectiveness seems a bit random with sawed-off as it has huge spread. I didn't remember to specificly test it but if i remember right it might be even 1-2m at distance of <10 meters.

A while ago i was playing at my friends place with 2 friends. We started playing same time from same place where we logged out earlier,played about half hour and suddendly server puts us back in where we logged in and all input was lost. Happened couple other times aswell.

Please no anti-material rifles,especially western.

Yes,original C96 as extremely rare loot and ammo even more rare. I remember big stash of StG 44's were found from Syria some time ago,why not C96's from Chernarus? B)

It is really hard to meet up newb friends in game if they have no clue where they are. I recently got two of my friends into playing dayz but currently only way for us to meet up is if they post a screenshot of the place they're at. Obviously it's even harder if nobody in the group remembers whole map by how it looks. Therefore i suggest to add same feature as mod has,telling location when you log in or spawn. I don't know if this will be eventually in game or if it's left out for realism but in my opinion atleast regular difficulty should have it.

We do this ofcourse but it can take several hours to identify their location since someone with basicly 0 experience in dayz has no clue how to explain what they see or understand where they should go. "Road...Hill...No sea...House..Forest." Not very discriptive,even harder now that you can spawn in middle of the map. Propably not very impressive experience for someone who has few hours to play couple evenings in a week and none of that time goes to actually playing together. Luckily my friends now identify komarovo where they can spawn with highest chance.

Pretty much every lootable car has map at front seat.

I made my first friend in mod as we suspected that admins of our regular server were abusing their tools and we were both raiding their camp so we teamed up. :) Second was when i was giving lifts for people from coast to north. I was shot by 2 bandits so this guy picked me up with heli to hunt these guys down rest of the night. If you find someone who doesn't kos you'll have to earn his trust and the other way around. Share your gear and put greed aside but never give more information than need be. (your camp,hidden vehicles,stashes etc.) I'd say it saves you a lot of frustration and lives to not look for friend but let them come to you. If they don't shoot you they have already proved something especially when you have good gear.

Yes atmosphere is very different. I feel much more vulnerable in all ways and there is need to keep observing surroundings all the time. I haven't come across to anyone yet so don't know if people KoS as much but i imagine not. My reason to play 1st person servers is because the game is twice as immersive than with 3rd person or should i say 3rd person might even remove all atmosphere. Ideas to improve? Blind firing like in skm animation mod.

You can do same with magnum,atleast i just did. It gives option eject or empty just like with mosin.
