Some suggestions about upcoming mushroom foraging.
Otis.Driftwood replied to Sister Ray's topic in Suggestions
I do not agree with you that it's almost impossible to make a mistake. That is why i pick only green Russula instead of other colors because colors can be washed out and there is one very poisonous. While we're at Agaricus - Agaricus xanthodermus are poisonous and only way you can see that is by smelling or cutting a part and if it turns yellow it means that it's poisonous. The thing that confused me once is that i found an edible Agaricus which had a yellowish stain on cap so people can make a mistake. -

Some suggestions about upcoming mushroom foraging.
Otis.Driftwood replied to Sister Ray's topic in Suggestions
I would like to add some things. Mushrooms can be : -unedible (useless, no nutrition value) example below -conditionaly edible (you have to boil it) Amanita rubescens (poisonous if consumed raw) - edible -poisonous Omphalotus olearius (they glow in the dark) -lethal Amanita virosa Destroying Angels contain a complex group of poisonous substances called amatoxins. Contained not only in certain amanitas but also in some fungi from the genera Galerina, Lepiota and Conocybe, amatoxins initially cause gastrointestinal disorders with symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and stomach pains occurring within five to twelve hours. Cruelly, the symptoms usually fade away for several hours or even a day or two, tricking the victim into thinking that they are recovering. When in due course the symptoms return with a vengeance, it may well be too late: kidney and liver damage is already underway. Without treatment, coma and eventual death are almost inevitable. - halucinogenic Psilocybe serbica And the end, about the Amanita muscaria (Fly Agaric) If you eat it raw you get stomach problems but if you dry it and eat enough amount you can experience some halucinogenic experience, more delirious, panicked state of mind etc -

Nice post. Mushrooms are a big science and i hope they will make something more complex. -
Returning Player, configuration question

New renderer in 2 months, at least -
And after W10 goes retail they will support DX12 offcouse, but let's wait DX11 and W10 1st ;)

Ok, you've made this game a lot harder now, and i welcome that but you need to balance hungry,thirsty and dying of starvation status. It's not that realistic to die of starvation after 1 hour of playing.

they killed DayZ for me and many others
Otis.Driftwood replied to Axezeroone's topic in General Discussion
You cant even find anything? What you want to find? Canned food on every corner? Sorry bro but they are balancing loot economy and it will become harder to survive, it's survival game after all. I know you did get used to hear zombies sounds like some kind of sick screaming bird and to kill it with 1 hit and to have full backpack of canned food but the game is going through changes and you need to accept it or just stop playing the game. -

I have found an invisible crossbow. I could see the slots but no weapon, i could put it on my back, hold it on my hands but it's invisible. I've reported that as a bug but i need a confirmation from you guys was it just me, was it just the crossbow, was it just that server or a random occasion.

Well man, since the start of the SA there was that mic icon, and probably there was someone like you who didn't like the position. I think they will change it, eventually. ;)
-
Mic icon positioning is the least of the problem. I mean, alpha.

this game just isn't the same anymore
Otis.Driftwood replied to GhostSlayer (DayZ)'s topic in Suggestions
You are hilarious. Go play BF3 -
Is M-65 waterproof?

I don't know what you are talking about

That is the way games are made. Alpha - adding stuff, Beta - fixing stuff

Great patch, it keeps getting better and better but i have 1 question - suggestion for improvised arrow. Have you thought of adding a top of x acto knife as a arrow part? it has more weight then bone therefor it should apply more damage.

Been making some dayz videos this week for my first time
Otis.Driftwood replied to d3athrow89's topic in Gallery
Why did you put this annoying music? -
Hello everyone, i hope that you will read what i have to suggest. There are couple of things that i would add to DayZ. That way this game would be even more realistic as survival game. So here we go: 1) Eating and drinking : When someone has a gas mask (or Dallas or Wolf mask) on and he wants to eat or drink, it would be more realistic that he must remove the mask to make open room for mouth. That should be applied automaticly which means if would take more time for him to do that job. 2) Weather: if you could add harsh snow and the town well is frozen you will need just to manage from house drops, or, drill a hole with new item (let's say a manual driller) into a frozen lake. Then, when you collect water you have to heat it a bit because it's too cold to drink 3) Besides zombies maybe you could add another danger? Hungry Dogs? Wolves? 4) How about forest fruit? Mushrooms? Different kinds of mushrooms for which you have to be careful is it edible, poisonous, or you have to boil it 1st. 5) Running: I guess in real life you cant actually run 24/7. It would be great to add stamina bar, so when he reach it maximum the character needs to rest, to catch a breath.... These are some of my suggestions. Thank you for your time.

Make the game a real zombie survival game.
Otis.Driftwood replied to QUAZIMOFO's topic in Suggestions
Buddy, you forgot that they have to redo the zombie AI? Let's wait that 1st, ok? -
DayZ Vehicles (first implementation)
Otis.Driftwood replied to eugenharton's topic in News & Announcements
It does protects you from frontal attacks, it's confirmed :) Well, you can blow tires but you can drive quite normal after that. It's still basic implementation of vehicles, later they will add all sorts of stuff. -
Bambi is fresh spawn with no items on him

Tired running around for trucks >=[
Otis.Driftwood replied to MatchboxChick's topic in General Discussion
So don't run for trucks :P I always go from Zelenogorsk to Vybor before server restarts. And most luck i had in Pustoshka, south of Vybor.
