oh dear......

Not wanting to pick on anyone; and this thread has been amusing..... but the word gentlemen is 'lose'...you 'lose' your gear. Loose, is something completely different. ;) Just saying!

Infected...not undead!

Why dont you just go and play the mod then? Leave this 'early access game' alone. No one is forcing you to play the SA.

On stable server, I keep hearing a random crying noise (from my character?). It is the same noise each time and I have heard it about 5 times every 4 or 5 minutes or so. I cant see anything in my status. I am not hungry, thirsty etc....... any ideas what this crying is or what it represents?

I thought I was getting trolled at first, so I moved to another location...same noises. It does sound like it is coming from my character rather than someone else, but I am not 100% sure if this is the case.... I was in the fields near to NW Airfields when I first heard the noises. It is quite a long cry, like an anguished noise rather than a pain noise... if that makes sense? I have not eaten any meat..just tinned stuff and water out of my canteen...nothing er...unsavory, if you know what I mean?

oh..... I was worried that may be it...but I have only been eating canned goods.....honest!

Great story. I read it and thought it was a good example of unexpected game play. Nice one. Good Grief.....get over yourself!

I have many hours of Dayz game time. I have recently returned to hardcore servers for better game play and hopefully less 'noob' behavior. With my new 'toon', I ventured North, looting and gearing up as I went. I had done quite well; had managed to scavenge enough food, supplies and weapons to survive, and so, I went to explore the new town in the North; Novodmitrovsk. I sat up on the escarpment for 20 minutes watching. I did not see another soul. In fact, I had not seen anyone for a couple of hours. So I ventured into town. I was probably a little careless, but I went to the first supermarket, next to the factory. There was a water bottle outside, which I decided would be a good addition to my survival gear. As I was arranging my gear, I heard footsteps, running towards me. I leveled my 'Blaze' as a deterrent, and watched as a new spawn (looking) player ran at me. He was wearing jeans and a white T Shirt. Without saying a word he launched into me with his fists. No interaction whatsoever, no 'game play', just an immediate attack. He got in two punches and down I went, unconscious. As I fell, I pulled the trigger, BANG BANG. I came around about 2 minutes later. I was still fully kitted and my aggressor had gone. Great game play my little friend, now f**K off back to new spawn land! I carried on exploring. I managed to pick up bits of loot and made my way towards the big government building. I knew it was dangerous, but I was careless. In a moment of stupidity, (what a noob!) I stood and looked at a pile of weapons. they were just lying there on the floor, in the square. Hmmm, I thought to myself, what are they? I stood and looked a little longer. Out in the open, staring at a pile of weapons......well, guess what happened next. I heard a ping and then my screen went black. YOU ARE UNCONSCIOUS. Followed shortly by YOU ARE DEAD. What an idiot. What a noob. I was so obviously set up, I only have myself to blame for being such an idiot! Oh well, off to 'new spawn land' for me too. Hardcore servers is the way to go. More immersion and heightened levels of anxiety. I will be back.

Yup, once you have accepted that it is part of the game, I love the challenge of 'new spawning' and starting again. I seem to start off quite reckless and then get a little more cautious as I go. Although I was obviously not cautious at all with my last 'toon'. Here we go, let's see what adventures await!

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I did wonder why you would need such extensive training. :)

Have you tried swimming with a rifle and back pack?

Isnt it strange that despite being told that the moniker 'Son' is perceived as derogatory, he continues to use it. I think it is fantastic that a medic has been trained to use 42 different weapons though. :)

My thoughts- Rather than a HUD which displays names over the character 'toon' you get a message. Like the current server messages. Something like- 'You see someone that you have seen before' (For those not on your friend list, but you have had some interaction with.) 'You see your friend "Magaz" - (For those on your friend list) 'You see soemeone that you do not recognise- (For new interactions) These messages do not show you where the character is -They only display when you are 'focused' on the other character, in close enough range to recognise them. Again, just some ideas. :)

Erm..no they don't :)

Cynicism is a terrible thing. Can anyone cure me?

I think you will find that it doesnt. It may have in the future though :)

Helpful. Thanks

Well at least there are more people aware of the 'variable' now, so there will be more testing done. More reports to follow I am sure. This is the internet, home of the unhelpful and rude. Playground of the keyboard warrior. Don't let it get you so upset! Enjoy dayz and stay safe (unless killed by a new 'variable')

More of a feature than an issue? I take it the last line is a rhetorical question?

Right in the 'irony' there. Oof that hurt.

Advance to contact. Wait out.

Ooh.. right in the irony.

Reminds me of West World! Yul Bryner.

ahem!
