Window Licker

This is an intentional feature by the devs to ensure your parents check in to make sure the game isn't messing your life up.... Anti-biotic's fixed this for my char, when you take them you will suddenly see a sick indication on your inventory screen, don't worry about that every few mins you'll receive a notification about "feeling better" or "seem's to be working" after about 20 mins or so it will say your done/better the sick indicator will disappear and your char will stop groaning. Edit: I got mine after fighting a zombie, also when the sick indicator appeared I made myself vomit to no effect other then having to sip water on a regular basis, rookie mistakes *never tried these you are taking your life in your own hands* You can re-log from what I hear, also pain killers might help and I suspect those brown bottles in hospitals if you inject the contents.

Awesome Guide, I would have thought it would have been stickied already, had to search it up :( My 2 cents, Do fight zombies, get a hang of the melee weapons, although going bare knuckled is pretty rough. Learning to fight the zombies can grant access to loot other new spawns will skip over. Being a fresh spawn, there isn't much to lose from doing so.

ohh that's why, I believe both have the option if you r-click them to "turn on" but doesn't do anything? I have been out looking for a battery to test this.

Where's the down "Steal his beans" button -1

And this is why the patches we are getting are small and don't add much in terms of weapons/vehicles and other added functionality. If they added more of that stuff the servers wouldn't be able to handle it and then we'd have people bitching about how unstable the servers are. So thank you for working on the underlying server issues instead of giving the cry babies more to cry about.

You know exactly whats gonna happen if they implement a stress mechanic, Players will continue to kill they same that they have been. Their character starts getting the shakes or whatever they implement as the deterrent to KoS, bandit get's his buddies together on the coast, gives them all his gear jumps off a tower (face it the east coast is suicide central these days) ptsd gone, meets up and collects gear. This process would take a little bit of time but not enough to be the end of KoS. In the name of comedy this would also place a bunch of well armed bandits in the new spawn zone. Now your proposed solution has just made the issue worse. They only way to cut down the KoS (against new spawns) is to place a challenge in the game that makes it worth while for players to leave the new spawns alone. I imagine this would be in the form of 1. Once the servers manage to get 100+ players on at the same time. 2. Once base building is implemented, giving players a incentive to defend against either other players or roaming hordes of zombies, or raid other bases. 3. (personal thought) Having "super infected" either super zombies or infected bears, wolves and other large animals that won't go down easy. Finally the best way to prevent being KoS'd is already in game, don't get seen.

Navy Sober (little cathedral) NWAF is directly North west of that location.

Hey look the search function works! If OP would like to read it's getting addressed soon so please stop spamming the boards with issues that have a resolution in the works. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/163418-combat-logging-and-server-hopping/

TL:DR for most of this, back to the lovely argument about killing causing mental instability I see. Things that where over looked; 1: This is an alpha and as such is the bare bones of the game and even those bones are incomplete. 2: Killing other players is done for- fun, fear, elimination of competition for limited resources or to prevent further threats (an unarmed person might scream friendly now, put a gun in his hand and their tune might change) 3: There is a severe lack of endgame but the devs aren't gonna start working on that until they iron all the bugs and glitches out (If you build a house on a cracked foundation it will fall over) so OP thank you for contributing your thoughts, feeling and... ha ha ha ha no I couldn't do it with a straight face, this topic has been beaten like a Russel Crows assistant, just go post in any number of other thread's on the same subject.

Only time I've encountered this is because I've died and logged out instead of respawning.

This is usually when I decide between killing or running, also if you need to ditch out fast you run fastest with empty hands and by double tapping "w" Edit: this will make you breathe heavily so if your using it to get around, make sure to stop and rest for a moment before entering hot zones

Anyone who doesn't talk makes my trigger finger itchy, I don't kos but god damn thats slowly changing, people who talk back are usually fine, till they stop responding, a clear indicator that treachery is afoot.

Combat logging is apparently getting fixed mid Jan, Please use the search function

In the interest of ending complaints, Dean has already said that a server queing system to prevent combat logging and server hoppers is close to ready, it can be expected when he gets back to CZ in mid Jan. sauce:http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ugd06/change_log_030113953/ceih3gp Loot up while you can you dirty sod's hope this comes with a char wipe. :D

Good call, Let them take their time and get it done right. I'll be so happy when vehicles make it into the game, untill then I'm not going to bitch about walking everywhere. When they do make it, I'll probably get shot several times trying to get one and go back to walking. Enjoy what you have!! it's awesome!!

And to your left you will see a combat logger very common in these parts yet strangly elusive. Think like in WoW you have to sit and wait for 20 seconds if you move it cancels the countdown, so it's only an issue if you made a mistake and are getting shot at. I don't know who cooks at your place but the only thing I won't wait 30 seconds to eat is pussy.

If I had to guess, which I do, it would be an incremental timer for switching servers something along the lines of 1st server switch, instant 2nd server switch, 1 min 3rd server switch, 5 mins etc the queuing part would simply be reserving your place on the server while waiting for the countdown to finish. And I'd assume that after playing for an hour or something on one server the timers would reset.

Fix the gamma/clouds off and other things to lighten the night, throw in the ocassional pair of night vision goggles, should make life better on night servers. My first 9 hrs of game was on a night server

I found one in the hangers at NEAF, get the feeling it was dropped by a player tho, otherwise like you I've searched high and low for one....

The current system is fine, I can see maybe something for a mid sized gun like a smg or sawn off. After doing the whole two guns thing I got sick of it and ditched my M4 sticking with the Mosin, FXN and a Magnum, reasoning I'm alone so don't want to be seen, if I encounter someone it will probably be while looting so a pistol should be okay. I never got to experiment with the loadout, I fell off a hospital roof.

Didn't vote, don't care, only came to say spell check is built into your computer please have the courtesy to use it and read what you have written before submitting.

The only people who are interested in arguing about it have nothing better to do with their time, if you choose to play with a person that can't use 1st person thats your choice. I'm at work so cant post a screen shot, but in the server lists I've noticed a large portion of the servers have in the description/name "3PP:ON" or "3PP:OFF" if the servers that have it off you cannot go into 3rd person. maybe somewhere down the line they will put a check box in to filter ther servers easier, otherwise why are megathreads created to "address" a non existant issue? My TV get's the god channel, the new's in chinese and a bunch of other stuff, but I don't care because I don't watch those channels, why would you care if a person on a different server is using 3rd person?

Would think that the Dev's, when they are ready to get hard on hackers would go buy all the pay hacks, download all the public ones and from there harden their systems. The people who are making money selling the hacks would then have to spend the time to re-code and test the new ones; buy them and ban them. If they are quick enough two things will happen, first making the hack will cease to be profitiable as they are blocked so quickly, second their reputation would begin to drop off as people who are buying hacks are getting banned and having to re-buy the game (making the script kiddies QQ) If this was kept up then the effort and cost to make the hack/script for DayZ just wouldn't be worth it... right?

I have stopped to type cos I thought my Mic wasn't working and the guy had already said he was friendly, and his mosin vs my fire axe at 100 yards seemed like reason enough to trust him. Turned out he didn't have any ammo but we cruised for a bit, we where looting a town I lost him, thought I saw him go into a building (spoiler:it wasn't)... copped a few M4 rounds leaving me unconcious.. I begged him to finish me with my fire axe in text chat but nothing... I didn't find the text chat for sometime, so maybe tell them its the "/" key?

depends on location, from my experience its about 95%-100% kos chance in Electro, Cherno and any military building. Out in the countryside I've found it drops to 50% or lower if you talk to them, make yourself visiable, but for the love of god stand near cover and have a rough idea what your gonna do if they start shooting aka I'm gonna run like hell this way
