In the Mod the Side Chat was very useful for speaking to players before you came face to face It was misused because players could voice talk over it, some did all the time .. A Side chat in text-only would change the DayZ game in my view. Everyone I've met this year has shot at me first, and either missed (and died) or killed me.. or .. both.. whatever.. - one exception, a starving guy with no weapons who did NOT try to punch me out and stood a reasonable distance away to talk (I gave him some open cans of food and got out of there fast - he scared me) So a side chat without voice - side chat text only - would be interesting, and provide the vital opportunity to decide (estimate, plan) what happens next, before it happens.. ( you can always still lie and fake over side chat, dudes, no problem, it makes for interesting and informative and funny situations). Anyone remember that in the Mod? Maybe even side chat with limited range... but at least 1 kilometer or 2. ( don't mention radios, we all know about those.. anyone ever heard a voice? sent out calls ? got a reply? from a radio? ... nah ) xx pilgrim

hi again Sleeves - where did I use the word "adapt" ? ... or perhaps you are talking to someone else, about some other post... ? I'm not very good at killing zombies, And I'm really not the person to discuss AI with, as I've been involved in it since (probably) before you were born .. ( were you around pre-ARPANET? ) and you might find the discussion difficult to follow. So, be nice, LET'S hear YOUR advice to the beginners about how to deal with what is in the game at the moment. The words I capitalize in my posts are not "random". If you check up on it (I'll find you a wikipedia link on the subject) - you'll understand that "random" is a difficult thing to do when you are typing on a keyboard. And by "difficult" I mean .. hehe .. it's not possible. I was just being polite and inexact using the word "difficult" so you wouldn't overheat. Communication_theory Randomness DO PLEASE check some of the ZOMBIE links in the posts above above, make a useful contribution, or explain to the OP your own idea of the best way to deal with zombies in the game as it is at the moment. p.s. What kind of "difficulty" is there in a game apart from "artificial" difficulty .. is there some other kind ? Thanx.

Hi Sleeves - how did you know I call myself Zombie-Fighting God (I put in the hyphen in the name so people don't think I'm a Zombie trying to fight God.. ya know.. that would be soooo like the original Mary Shelly Frankenstein, wouldn't it? .. too existential for me, really) I wasn't speaking of instant ruined gear just now- but about how to fight zombies without getting ripped to shreds or eaten - but if you READ the USEFUL easy to click-on LINK I gave. You'd find plenty of ruined gear stories. A one-hit zombie RUINED my ROCK once.. how about that!. True. Check out all the zombie ADVICE and THOUGHTS and COMMENTS already on the forum (and there are MORE links on that forum I linked you to, to even more Zombie stuff and complaints already, so you can read all up about it) - then go play. I think there is also a thread where you can shout about everything that is 'broken' in the game... like - ya know - getting lost, and not being able to find your way around without a compass, and other players being bad, and crap like that.. and dying when you get shot.. AND the nasty Zombies, the hackers, the lack of loot.. ya know... take the time to check out what people are saying.. and this game changes, have you noticed ? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/182234-do-zombies-dream-of-a-good-nights-sleep-zombie-feedback/#entry1871615 Life on the coast is TOUGH that's for sure.. I just finished the post above when I read yours (you write fast! or you had less to say)... but check the links anyway.. put "broken" in the search bar. There are instructions on how to use the search, or just ask someone on the forum. Maybe if you ASK .. someone can arrange to meet you in-game and give you an AK and 1000 rounds, instead of you having to go search for one. Because wherever there are AKs there are Zombies AND bad mean players ! Enjoy xx

If you're playing in 3d Person, aim about 6-12 inches above the zombies head (white dot aiming), to actually hit the dude in the face. if you aim directly at the head (white dot) you only give body blows and zombs don't care a lot. When you knock a zombie down with a head hit, stand over him and punch him in the head until you're sure he's not going to get up again. Otherwise he'll just stand up again when he feels good and ready. The problem about fistfighting zombies, if there are 2 or 3 of them, you can keep knocking them down but you dont have time to finish them off with the other two on your back, so you knock another down and the first one stands up gain. You can do this for a LONG time.. good training, but difficult to win... probably either run around to split them up enpough to deal with 1 at a time (already suggested) or fight them in first person to see where you're hitting them (already suggested). BUT I find fighting zombs in 1st P is too stress when there are 2 or 3 of them, because you never know where the other one is, or if another just turned up behind ya.. For beginners, the Axe (either axe) the Hoe or the Pickaxe are the BEST easiest weapons to kill zombs, ( other weapons are crap) - just keep moving aside when they get ready to hit you and keep coming back on top of them to hit back. don't let up. Other weapons are pretty crap, if you have to fight - IMO throw any other weapon away out of your hands and use your fists... BUT I've killed zombies with a screwdriver - it gives a straight jab to the head, works pretty OK .. it's a deeply underestimated weapon I think. remember your Special Services training! ( ... but I never tried with a pen.. ) Another good technique, is put your ACTION key on the Mouse Wheel PRESS ... then you can open and shut doors real quick WHILE you are moving and turning, gives you the best chance to run through houses and trap zombies, leave them behind. And .. ya know .. if you go in a house, make sure the back door's shut before you start looting ???? - yes?

Are the Zombies Usain Bolt based ? The LADY zombie is. since the collapse of the Soviet Union no one gets steroids any more ... in the game they are called "antibiotics" they are hard to find you need to take about 60

. It is not difficult to die in DayZ ------------------------------------ The girl in the 'trailer' is standing up, wearing clothes, healthy, and she has a LOADED GUN so obviously she has no need to suicide... would you ? .. also I don't see the need for a CNN-style stock-footage 'breaking-news' video about this,your text is 100% ok alone ... 'scuse me.)

OK got you on that Whyherro123 - sorry I mistook the "metagame" thing because its a term of disrepute - my misunderstanding.

no but being able to deliver a good KICK would be a useful thing. Nothing fancy.. just a 'kick' .. like a 'punch', ya know. - it hurts them or it knocks them down. If you wanted to get fancy, you should be able to melee hit with the butt-end of your gun. It's a common melee thing (ed: butt and bayonet style) But.. just a plain simple 'kick' action would be nice.

Metagame ? IRL I'd do the same if I ate something bad or poisoned (and I have done that). Works in real life if you do it soon enough (ya know.. it's quicker than waiting for the stomach pump?). In the game, charcoal had no effect. Throwing up two times and building strength again, worked. First time I was ill it was from eating raw meat .. Second time I was ill - I don't know.. thought maybe it was from being wet and cold for too long ? I don't see how emptying your stomach could help that kind of sickness, but 7 antibiotics made no difference. the upchuck technique worked again. I'm still alive ain't I?. I was just worried for a while. Some clothes: if you take them off and put them back on again immediately they are dry. Other clothes you have to take them off, wring them out a couple of times, then put back on they are dry (That is - IF your clothes don't vanish as soon as they hit the floor - that's kind of worrying, with all your gear in the pockets too) And other clothes - the down jacket - just stay damp till you build a fire and gradually dry out. But if you take off your down jacket next to a fire and put it back on it is dry immediately. AND does anyone know if you can shelter under trees in .49 please ?. That seems to have gone? After 4 minutes under a GOOD tree I was soaked to the skin. Is this why all these strange little sheds with doors that don't shut are scattered around? For shelter? Does sheltering under trees work?? But .... "metagaming" ? - I think I have heard of this place, Where is it? Isn't that where you spawn in the same room in the barracks on 30 servers until you find the one with the gun in it? (or you hope you find it before before you spawn in on the three other metagamers all fighting zombies and each other, and you're dead before you arrive? ) Drinking until you throw up because you ate a bad banana is not my idea of 'metagame' Noticing there are no zombies left in the whole village when you arrive is 'metagame' but that's the kind of thing you can't help noticing. Anyway - one or two will turn up in a while. I mean dude, in real life, that throwing-up is what I DO and I've DONE it and it worked, and no one's accused me of "meta-living".. but it wasn't a banana. Emptying your stomach fast is a technique, useful to know, as long as you really CAN empty it, and do it when you need to. Anyone know about tree shelter? Doesn't seem to work for me at all. [ps - I thought in general the survival stuff is STARTING to get quite OK in DayZ .49, it's BEGINNING to get closer to my general IRL feeling/ideas about 'survival'] xx pilgrim

Well - I eat it... ..- 'ya don't need anything to open it with. It's pretty good

Yes - interesting comments. However I stand by what I say. I have tried these things and they work - Stuffed" at the mome,nt is NOT how full your stomach is, it tells you ONLY how much water you have drunk. Ive tried HEALTHY+3 full bags of rice+1 full box of cereal+2 cans of food+5 fruit+a few cans of soda lying around, all AT ONCE in the time it takes to do "Eat All" 6 times + Eat etc, for the rest. The only effect is "DEHYDRATED", so to say "STUFFED is an indication of your stomach being full is not the case. It is an indication of your stomach being full of WATER.. but NOT food... Curing SICKNESS: Hmmm... This WORKS.. (experiment) Drinking till you vomit, you will get WEAK.. eat (and drink) to restore your strength, then if later the SICKNESS comes back do the same again, then eat and drink again to get strength up again.The illness goes away.. as you say above, may be an "interface bug", but it works that at the moment on .49. I've done this twice. It is therefore not a myth. Hunting - how does hunting equipment require 2 places in your backpack?, This is not my experience!.. to hunt (butcher meat) you need a cutting implement and an axe for firewood. Both require sharpening. A stone takes 4 places.. you have to sharpen the knife AND the axe EVERY time you cut meat and cook it. They both only sharpen up to DAMAGED so if you don't carry a stone, your next hunting experience you have a RUINED knife and a RUINED axe. So, knife and stone is 5 places taken up, whereas.5 tins of beans last a long time. Plus you ALSO need space for the 5 cuts of meat - right? therefore 10 backpack places required for hunting - each meat cut is only 50%-70% (max) because your knife is AT BEST Damaged.. so 5 cuts of meat are almost equal to 3 or 4 cans of beans.. but to get that meat and cook it you need 10 slots (and carry the firewood in your arms, make fireplace etc - yeah, need rags too but I dont count that slot.). So instead of hunting, just collect 10 cans of beans to fill the same space, you last MUCH LONGER But in general I agree with you. However I insist that what I said above comes FULLY from experiment in .49, without error. It's ALL Ive been doing since the last patch in fact..So I stand by it. However, we agree and are close on many points. Another Interesting thing (a dumb thing) - you can butcher an animal, make a bag from it's skin with some rope, and put the cuts of meat in the bag (so IRL you wrap up the meat in the skin, right?), but you CANT pick up the bag in your arms and carry it...why not ? xx pilgrim

1 ) At the moment in Standard you can eat as much as you like without getting Stuffed. Try it. Eat everything you find. You can drink water until you're Stuffed and still Starve to death. Stuffed and Starving. Then Dead. But the overeating doesn't work. If you eat 4 whole bags of rice when you're already full green and healthy, the only effect is 'Dehydrated' 2 ) If you're ill for any food reason, drink until you vomit. Then eat again to get strength back. End of story. Forget antibiotics or charcoal tabs. That's all. 3 ) The meat from an animal kill is ridiculously low in food vale compared to cans. Each steak only gives you max 60-70% because your knife is always worn out even if you keep sharpening it, you can't sharpen it (or your axe) better than Damaged - which is silly. Instead of hunting, eat 2 cans of beanz. More food value, less effort and time, easier.. and takes up a LOT LESS backpack space than hunting gear. This hunting/meat nutrition needs much better balance. 4 ) AND knives, axes, machetes should sharpen back to WORN... not 'Damaged' Every time you cut a tree you have to sharpen, after 1 tree your axe goes from Badly Damaged to Ruined' so you must carry a stone all the time to sharpen back UP to Damaged before you start to cut wood. Silly. (1 tree ??). Note - The stone is as big as your head (a real sharpening stone is rather small) and a good zombie hit can RUIN your stone (true!) so you can't sharpen any more. IMO that's unusual for large rocks IRL. A bag of rice is enough food for a couple of days. 3 or 4 steaks should be at that level, or very close. 5 ) If you are a beginner alone on the coast it's hard to find food and harder to find something to open it with. This is probably one of the most interesting and difficult parts of the game. You die often. xx pilgrim

There aren't SO MANY places a sniper can camp where there is a lot of action in his scope. In the game you soon know them all. Go up round the back with your axe and see if some guy is peering down his scope at the firestation. He's an easy target. That's probably easier for you with your axe than it is for the sniper with all his gear. For a sniper, the alternative to sniping from a known location on a busy area, is to spend all day scoping a low pop area and MAYBE get one shot. That's GREAT fun for 3 or 4 hours of play. So be serious - being a Pro Sniper is NOT an easy option.. Everyone who's played the game knows where you are going to be, unless you're REALLY smart, so you must think a lot and you choose your locations carefully, and keep moving often, and you must KNOW how to get out of the area. AND if you have a LRS sniper rifle in your hands, it's really no fun trying to fight a guy with a garden hoe or a pickaxe who turns up suddenly at melee distance... try it! When people talk about sniping skill - in DayZ at the moment the BIG SKILL is knowing where to be, and knowing where NOT to be, and keeping your back covered, and knowing how to move, having a constant sense of danger, .. to be a good sniper just WORRY dude, all the time.. because a LOT of players know where you MUST hang out to scope an area, and a lot of players don't like snipers.. and everyone knows snipers tend to be well geared up.. At least 50/50 it's the sniper who is the target, not the "poor dude" down in the street. Any of the popular sniper locations, there's probably a guy already waiting in the woods, or behind a rock, or in a bathroom, just WAITING for the next sniper to turn up - you've got to know that whole area behind and around and above you is clear before you can even put the scope up to your eye. That includes the next hill, where a dude with the LRS is already covering that little open space down there where you (sucker) can scope the main street. I's not an easy life. That's probably why its safer to snipe bambies.. but then sometimes that's not so safe eithere. There are vigilantes on the coast. These things I've mentioned above ARE the SKILLS of a sniper.. the "sighting down the scope" is the EASY part of sniping. If you want to take something out of the game - take out People who Run Up Behind You With An Axe .. because those people are dangerous AND unpredictable. xx pilgrim

My advice is: go ahead, dude - you"re a free agent just WRITE the INFORMATION the OP is asking for! and then POST it.. instead of wasting your time trying to insult a no-brain like me.. I've really no brain = I've no way of telling the difference between an insult, a LOL, or anything else.. I can't even tell if "baaaaaaa" is a word, or is it just your head hitting the keyboard? WRITE the damn POST for the OP, the way you think it should be written .. instead of worrying about other posts that aren't good enough, Just take your own time to tell him what HE WANTS to know OK, that easy, right? My opinion is I don't think he actually read any of the posts in this forum.. but if he did, or does and he objects to my post; I'll apologize for being too hard on him ( I just did that on another forum here yesterday so I'm not talking through my sphincter). But this really depends if he puts the effort into reading the posts in the first place. I don't mind the guy asking questions and I'm ready to help (I like the game, I like the comments and the people, that's why I'm here) - it's the way he was sarcastic about the first reply he got - his comment about 'I don't want to wade through that stuff' and 'no beans for you for 15 seconds of effort'. I thought was a little .. ya know ... impolite ? =IMO= So I WILL read every word of your REALLY USEFUL ANSWER TO THE OP with interest when you write it. And give you beans if it's worthwhile. (hell, I'll give you beans whatever I think of it, as long as you answer his question). Your input could be useful to everyone sending "is it worth logging-in this month?", "shall I reinstall that game?" and "I cant' be bothered to look, so tell me what's happening?" posts. Hey Pillock - make the "15 seconds" of effort to help people. Then you'll feel good about yourself. And the OP will be very pleased, I'm sure. Imagine how worried he must be right now, having to watch YouTube to find out if there are 'vehicles' and 'camp construction' and 'barricades' in DayZ, because he can't find out here on the forum. I blame you for that. You should have told him. Truly, I don't mind about the "baaaaaa" - really - honestly.. I thought maybe you'd hurt yourself or fallen asleep with your face in the keys or something.

Another Brother has seen the light ! AND also we should have funny-shaped tents - all different shapes and colors, like IRL Maybe we could pain them ? If you have a stranged-shaped tent - or you have a tent with some neat swirly artwork painted on it - bring it right along! Join our brothers-and-sisters singing evenings and our "adopt a zombie" campaign. But remember, we are non-violent so we we have a kind-of- rule (not an obligation) that you shouldn't have more than ONE anti-material rifle and 50 rounds per PERSON. Sorry about that, but they take up so much space! If you have more than one - just give it away to one of the ladies, or anyone with a beard. Specially the girls love them - and that can't be bad, can it? Wear what you like (if clothes are your thing) .. and share your tent.. there's always room for 1 or 2 extra folk, we live in difficult times (some of us) and It's friendly to share tent-space on those rainy evenings when people need a hug. I like marshmallows - and also it's cool to make your own tent-decorations or body-jewelry out of fishing-rope, uniform buttons, old cans and spent cartridge cases, or what you like!. That's what the pliers are for! Let's hope dogs, cats pet snakes, candles and tattoo-kits are soon in the game too. We might need some self-defence equipment if we go out collecting berries, etc (and uniform buttons). - but when MaxRain sends us his secret IP address, that won't be a problem at all! Brothers and Sisters -. Kumbaya!

I don't ever "fire off " briefs..I try to have some meaning in everything I say, so I just "post " them This IS the brief, of course. You know what a brief is, you should have spotted it straight away - in fact it is Page 1 of the Portfolio - as you noted when you were dealing with the "incoming" I had "fired off" How do you deal with that ("incoming")? Do you hide under your desk or do you have an special bunker?.

About me, YES. About the Original Poster YES. Do you see now ? If you only just got the point, after my careful explanation.. More fool you , I say But go ahead, feel free - you're the expert on "firing off" briefs - fire at will. (and please fire them off the top of your head, that will be interesting) xx pilgrim

The gamma setting is on your computer, not on the server - you know that - whatever the in-game gamma slider is set to, you can turn your screen up to all white or down to total black, right on your PC. So this means that ANYONE can put their gamma to any value they like and no game on earth can ever stop them. The only way you could stop players from seeing at night is by not raytracing ANY objects more than 3 yards away from the player, so the whole game is NOT on screen (not dark, not difficult to see, just NOT THERE), so everything outside that player's 3 yards range is LITERALLY PITCH black with NO IMAGE. That would be impossible to play and totally crazy of course. of course.. and people would still change their gamma to have 3 yards of 'daylight' inside all that blacknes - justas black as if your screen was switche off.. which it kind of is, because it's getting NO signal except to depict stuff less than 3 yards away from you. but mainly a "fix" - as you call it - would take a damn lot longer than any 20 minutes, if you wanted to change the game starting from scratch to do this, as described above, (and its a very silly useless thing to do ANYWAY). It would be more like like 20 months for the TEAM.. not 20 minutes Where do you get this "20 minute fix "from?. Did you calculate it? Have you been doing this kind of work long? Do you maybe own a games studio? Do you program? or do you design motherboards or graphics cards? AND even if anyone was crazy enough to black out to zeo-image the whole screen, except a tiny area, so then your gamma setting "wouldn't make a difference" because there would be NOTHING there. - STILL inside that little bit of image that actually existed with something in it - the bit just around the tune's head then, anyone could STILL turn their gamma up and down as much as they liked.. so it would make NO difference to the gameplay and change nothing at all. There have already been threads talking about this.. quite a lot of threads. Check out a few of the "gamma' threads. If you had enough moonlight to see with your gamma mid-to-low, then folk who turned up their gamma will be walking around in full daylight (it would look shit, but they could see for miles). And some of what you see/don't see when you change your gamma depends on what kind of screen you have as well as what GPU. Nothing to do with the game. Hey - it's interesting to do this - Find out what gamma IS, find out what it is for, how it works on your GPU, find out what you can DO with it.. why it is there, then work out some way that a game can have ANY effect on your PC gamma from far off inside the server software. When you discover how to do that, you'll be a wealthy man. Really - you'll be a well-known person and invited to games conferences. In the meantime, play as honestly as you can, if you don't like playing where others have their gamma turned up high, don't play with them. Do you know any other REAL solution? [LATER: Hey XNPxASSASSIN - I didn't intend to be mean at you there, please don't take offence. I feel bad about that now. I already said somewhere else, I didn't drink my coffee this morning... whatever.. ya know.. but I shouldn't jump on players in the forum just because I'm in a bad mood. Your question/idea makes sense BUT unfortunately modifications to your PC gamma from in-game CANT be done... to try to have any effect would be like converting a car to a plane - you need hardware that does not exist, and other compromises or gaffer-tape solutions would be a really bad idea and end up crap - and they would take a mega-long time anyway even to arrive at a really bad result, plus you'd need a whole rebuild of how the engine draws stuff - and there's no point to it.. the only way to "not see" is if there is nothing on that part of the screen. The thing that IS right and TRUE, is that playing at night with NVGs is a whole lot better and more fun than trying to max your gamma..100% gamma just comes out looking shit.. you can "see".. but it's not worth it unless you really don't care what you do to 'win']

I didn't drink my coffee yet this morning and yours was the FIRST post I saw, hmm..And I understand <<exactly what you wanted to avoid doing>>: so here we go. Everything you want to know is right here on these forums - it's all everyone talks about here, in fact; so you'll find plenty of DETAIL if you look.You've been here more than 70 times so you KNOW how EASY it is. Let me make this easier; Here are some ways of getting what you want to know: 1 ) If you want a one paragraph synopsis of DayZ spend 5 minutes going through the ONLINE GAMING MAGAZINES...(there are plenty) look up "DayZ" in the little GAME box at the top of the page. They will tell you. AND look at ALL the different opinions on YouTube while you're on line, there are about 12,000 of them. Just choose one without wasting time on the others. 2 ) - Play the game and find out. 3 ) - Pay someone to do your thinking for you and to deliver a one page summary with exactly the level of detail you require - I guess your Personal Secretary will have the habit of doing that for you (most of the folk on these forums don't do that kind of work). You may find it difficult to persuade players here to put more time into telling you what you want to know, than you are prepared to put into being interested in their opinion. 4 ) If you think the game MAY be worth that extra investment, read the PORTFOLIO - you are on page one of the portfolio - Many serious adult investors as well as us dumb kids, actually put time into finding out if something is worth investing in. I swear this is true. It works. Sometimes people become famous and rich just by doing that. Incredible hu? 5 ) If you don't have the time, see your analyst, for only a moderate few hundred dollars he will point out that you say you "don't have the time" because you are in fact "not interested", you just don't know yourself very well (his opinion, not mine.; my opinion is more expensive) 6 ) No beans for you unless you want to go find them, there are ways of getting beans, but they don't fall out of the sky (and there's some useful detailed game info, right there) If you don't know already where beans come from, that's another thing you have to "find out" about. Start by asking someone on the forum to explain to you how to be a person.They did it for me, as you can tell, right! After that, everything is easy. 7 ) Expect people to help you when you have no intention of helping them, that always works. 8 ) Check out how many people turn up each week on this forum to say "I don't know if I want to play, I don't want to put the effort into to find out, so someone tell me about it, I cant be arsed to have to do it myself." There are quite a few. If you had time you could do a search. 9 ) Get someone else to play for you. (good idea! - save that EFFORT) My question for you - why do you want to know? Do you trust everyone on the forums to give you good info (like mine?) Do you expect all 2 million players to be better informed than you are, and all in agreement ?.. Do you think all these people are Intelligent, coherent, helpful AND they play all day. Well In fact you're right - I am all of those things I just mentioned and so is everyone else here. We never disagree about anything. You've come to the right place - for long answers, for short answers, for LOLs, for arguments, lies, amazing tales, and for many different opinions. So read them all (or just pick one at random it's bound to be the correct answer you're looking for) and then make up your mind ... but .. BUT ... but .. OK, sorry, you had your 5 minutes. (it was supposed to be 15 seconds, I know, you already said so) It's your turn now. Look out for the other zombies. My advice: Go for it. Keep the beans you'll need them in the game, I guess for a second opinion try: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/213012-do-you-love-it/#entry2137469 dude there seems to like it or hear another returning player discussion: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/213006-returning-after-a-break/#entry2137409 xx

Good and interesting post with quite a few points that are worth thinking about. DayZ is an unusual game, not really in any of the standard genres at all (IMO) and I like it that way and hope it continues in the same spirit (whatever changes take place inside it). Could claim that it's a new KIND of game. That's pretty RARE in these days of depression, mega-companies, and mass standard entertainment.. But saying this is NOT disagreeing with any of your points. Very interesting. Worth reading and thinking about. Beanz. xx

Is that the same server where 15 zombies spawn with the loot inside each barracks every 3 minutes ? (heh)

I think two or three serious responsible players could locate themselves at the main loot points to make sure the others didn't take advantage of this unfortunate situation. I could take half an hour from my normal playing time to help with this boring duty, if you can tell me exactly what time the server respawns please. But you are probably right - and it's best if you just mail me the IP address, so the irresponsible players don't swarm us while we're cleaning up (I mean.. carrying sackloads of ace top loot away to hide it safely). Of course, what else could I mean ? I hate loot. One can of beans and a pair of sneakers and a nice book is all I EVER carry. I am a typical honest DayZ player, and also a non-violent vegetarian. I don't know even which end of the gun the bullet comes out. Is there a problem?

Please tell where that is (IP) so we can all avoid it. Thank you.

Hobbits are the Tribulation of New Zealand A supervised reintroduction of Orcs in selected areas could control this pest.

Great but: 1 ) trouble with walking speed 2 ) Trouble with Hobbits
