I'm just wondering, hows everyone going with the limited water at the moment? I always play on the same server and things are tough at the moment, all beverages have been taken and it hasn't rained for days and I've been keeping hydrated off my supply of caned peaches haha..

I really like this idea I seen on reddit about cannibalism in dayz. Basically his idea is that your toon must be starving before skinning and consuming human meat becomes available, but once you do you can be cannibalistic any time. Here't the link worth a look. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2ikqr3/lets_talk_cannibalism/ Cannibalism... Not even once...

Yes there are hacks but if you look at the images I think these guys were clearly duping, I stumbled across this glitch myself by chance and it's an easy to exploit at the moment. I wouldn't worry about this sort of stuff to much right now though, it's still a really early build and people will be finding exploits constantly until the game is more complete. I take the opinion that the people exploiting the game right now actually indirectly help the development process as the exploits are brought to light early. The best thing to do if you come across exploits like this is to just use the bug tracker and be done with it, trust that it will be fixed in time and be patient.

I'm not certain but am fairly sure they have already been able to fix it, I dont believe you can dupe on the .51 experimental. This is just going from what someone else posted haven't tested it myself.

I can't wait for the final version of the game and there will be zeds everywher like the mod, I remember the zeds at nwaf were crazy the only way I could loot the area by myself was using my truck to run over the horde over and over, not the most stealthy approach but much fun was had. Done this once while a group were looting all stealthy and I scared the shit out of em driving my truck around like a madman

My suggestion is as follows; If you can manage to keep yourself in the "healthy" state for a long period of time without becoming sick or injured in any way you eventually get a new status "Fit", with the notification "I'm feeling fitter" or "I'm feeling strong". Becoming a "Fit" and "healthy" survivor leads to some small but valuable buffs to your character which would include: greater stamina while running and possibly a small increase in sprint speed, an increase in total health, and also greater resistance to disease. Soon after you loose your healthy status you loose your "Fit" status and your buffs, and will need to start the process over again. The general idea being rewarding players who strive to actually role play and stay alive in game, and its also justifiably realistic. Thoughts?

Yes I agree it's not totally realistic, but hey neither is starving or becoming dehydrated in a matter of hours.. Could be tweaked so that it is relative to other hunger/thirst time mechanics in the game.

Oh ok cool, I was under the impression that drinking/filling up from ponds was disabled too

Hunting pack looks bigger to me...

I think the hunting backpack does look bigger... Maybe put a side by side comparison screenshot up

yes, I believe so

What about loot respawning? I usually play on the same server and apart from the rare buildings with loot everywhere, loot doesn't seem to be replenishing even after server restarts. Is this the case for others or maybe it's thr server?

Pretty sure ballistic vests arn't far away, heres a link showing the vest..

May have been windows 95's stash? But yeah persistance is still really rough so you see this sort of stuff ocasionally.Although I notice an sks with a bayonet attached.. I dont think they spawn attached so may well have been placed there...

Ah good times..

How does persistance function at the moment? If you drop loot in a random place how long will it stay there for? Does this mean more and more loot will be available on a server?

Wolves, Bears and Wild Boars... I know the zombies in the game are going to be continually improved to pose a greater threat but they're just.. kind of boring. I would really love to see some of these predators included into game, they would be a good fit for the world of Chernarus. Walking through the woods on a full moon night and hearing some howls close by would be truly chilling. The animals would make the forests a much more dangerous and interesting place to adventure in... What do you guys think?

The dramatic success of DayZ, 1 million copies and rising sold, has got a lot of console gamers frothing in excitement just from the thought of being able play this game on their chosen console. I would like to hear what the community thinks of this prospect, would the game work on a console? How successful do you think it would be on that playform? Could cross platform servers be possible? Edit: also were you a console gamer that invested in a pc because of this game? It really seems like the sky is the limit for this game right now, I would really like to hear what you guys have to say on this topic : )

Nope, no way, no thanks.

Depends on what gear the target has that I need, if I have an advantage or not. Basically I have a Risk vs Reward mentality. I also consider the threat they pose if I leave them to loot the surrounding area unchecked. My current character is almost fully geared up and ALL of it has come from other players. Bandit life

This has been covered in other threads, let's not start it all over again

Sorry repost on phone

Oh wow! I can't wait to inject my next captive with many morphine to get him addicted before I realise him!

You must use alcohol to get your wounds clean otherwise your health will not regenerate.

The thing that frustrates me is that I really like night time without messing with the gamma and brightness, but I am not willing to let others have a massive advantage on me by turning theirs up and having much better visibility. If the devs want people to play the game as they intended they should lock brightness and gamma.
