Window Licker

iirc raincoats currently don't work, for the rest of it don't worry about the rain right now it does nothing other then get you wet, it's constantly raining because it's a new feature and like most new features they use it a lot to ensure that it's working properly. Think of it as the first step of a new system and not the entire system. In the future you will very much want a raincoat to wear if it starts raining as getting soaked will begin to make you sick, however you also have the option of lighting a fire to dry off after, so cook your boar steak, dry off and chillax for a while.

fixed, we are all well aware of the limitations currently on spawning zombies into the world, from my experience they will spawn in a radius around the spot you last fired, so if you shoot and move then you have a decent chance of getting clear. However this does make it more likely that other players will spot you, while it is a stop gap measure to make it feel like the infected are attracted to the sound of your gun and being that I'm yet to see one spawn in directly in front of me, always where I'm not looking. It imo will suffice until they can actually sit down and get the infected situation sorted out properly.

Yeah I stopped reading here not because I'm lazy... but I can't think of a way to finish that sentence. But mostly because this is something I really agree with you on, my big question would be "can they make that item balance properly?" for this to happen they need to consider server hopper's and people who use their servers as their own personal loot farms.

Lost my character's to... many ladders, semi-substantial walls, poor depth perception, poor memory, running where I shouldn't be, being where I shouldn't be, shooting where it attracts attention, axed in the back, punched in the face. trusting people, falling off a roof, eaten by zombies. Things that haven't claimed any of my characters, starvation, dehydration and force fed toxic materials blood transfusion gone wrong. Dev team are on it I'll let them do their thing, sure I was a touch upset that it didn't work out but I have more things in my life then DayZ.

yeah those bugs are killer, I'm guessing your on stable there jack?

Yeah Gannon has a point there, if a player who is cuffed get's poisoned they can logout knowing it will kill them instead of dealing with the aftermath, in a way I think this robs the bandit's of their joy. Personally I'd rather deal with it as it happens, hell I saw one post here about a guy who was cuffed and interrogated for an HOUR, didn't log or puss out. I kinda wish I remember the resolution of that. On the topic of sticks, yes they should be accessible if you have a knife/axe and a tree in your area, I once had "Beros" (banditish heroes) take my sticks and turn it into a splint, gave it back saying it was one of the best items in the game. I was a little pissed but refrained from speaking up those sticks where being saved for a backpack.

*sigh* I know the rabbit's are credited with making the Z noise but they don't, field test it swim out into the ocean and the noise will still be made, so unless they have secretly had zombie sharks in the ocean the whole time it's a global sound bug. The sound/noise systems are on hold right now because they will be having a full sound team come in and they will go through clean up the sound and add all they one's they want in the finished game. and as pointed out before maybe take your own advice Edit: and a link to the issue in the bug tracker http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=161

I'm calling the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Avatars, Yeah that's right the SPCA is coming for your ass, you are clearly mistreating your avatar, abandoning it in dangerous area where known predators including other avatars may hurt it, you are keeping it cooped up in a tiny box and not giving it any exercise, I bet you just let it shit where ever there is space. Your failure to even identify if for what it is an AVATAR and referring it instead as a DayZ-gotchi show your lack of compassion for it. I bet you piss on the water spigots, you make me sick!!

Title says it all, currently we can't quote the devtracker section of the forums we only have the option of giving beans or reporting the post. If we copy the post then it doesn't have the cool little link back thing that can be clicked to see the original or the original time and date of the post.

They have decided that it's broken, so the question is what will they replace it with?

Thats the second time today I've had tears of laughter!!

Leaping from the nearest tower so they can spawn in Electro

Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns 8m We're working very hard on a hotfix for the lag and desync issues being experienced by many. Lots of testing on experimental #dayzdaily

Not soon, it's in the game now it's just that people never seem to think about food while running past half a dozen berry bushes.

forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/180987-so-how-is-experimental-currently/ patches are part of an extensive data capture to find out exactly what is happening in the client/server communication. There is no changelog done for backend changes as per Hicks.

AFAIK they are just running tracking software

Yeah I was looting Bolota tents, specifically going for the sandbag lookout thing and axed a Z climbed the ladder got spotted by another. Now this fucker is lurking as the bottom of the ladder, okay shoot him climb down. by time i get to the bottom there is 5 swarming toward me and I hit full retard panic mode and start shooting like a spastic. I left the area with a full compliment of Z's in tow, blood pissing out of me and a dark brown stain running down my leg.

I set my ping limit to 1000 and found 2 servers (yesterday afternoon), so I'm just waiting and seeing really.

It's here forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/181049-chernaya-polana/

Don't suppose the OP has a link to the issue in the BUG TRACKER so we can upvote it and make the dev team aware of how widespread the problem is?

LOL, I just read this thread from start to finish and it's on the 7th page and is still readable, must be something wrong. Edit: LOL at people finding the new zombie system "too unrealistic" "too hard" or any of that other crap, shooting a gun is now something people need to consider before doing, when this first hit experimental I had a few hard lessons and initially burned through a lot of bandages. This also adds to the aspects of looting where it's not a simple matter of kill infected and loot the place, now it's kill the infected and loot carefully and remain aware of your surroundings. If you want a dull game that barely registers as fun or challenging and feels like a second job more then anything there is plenty of MMO's out there.

Or you can go to the NWAF and run directly north you'll hit it there.

Thank the 9 that not what I thought, some things I don't agree with but the overall layout seems good, better then the current.

Back to OP, yes but I didn't find this out until someone posted it on reddit I think, it's not exactly what you'd call common knowledge and personally I'd have never thought to do that I can open a can of beans with a butter knife and say a nail or other piercing object, without spilling them all over the floor too, sure I can't do it in the record time that I can in game hell I can't even beat that with a real can opener!! Doesn't that take a rather long time to do as well like 20-30 min's I can run from the coast to NWAF, die and be back on the coast in that time.

Indeed, excellent story!!
