It's laziness. Pure and simple - and it's yours.

vaulting not so great watch your cooking pot unless you cook with water don't eat seriously ill people if you're fishing, don't let the Septopod pull you in and eat you Are "helicopters" used for travel? They are something like cars? p.s. - still no flies on corpses {sigh} = is the major downer

So who are you? You claim to be a "modern gamer" ? (whatever the EF that is?) - LOL - And DayZ players aren't ?

we're already playing

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. - We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival .. and I say, “come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”

yes - but you can already wear a raincoat INSTEAD of a shirt or jacket so the way around this is to define the jacket as <under> when you put the raincoat/poncho on the jacket gives the same protection, has the same pockets etc, but it is not skinned (drawn) on your body. in your inventory it can also be given the tag <under> IMO

ah, that's why you keep knocking on my door with your " perfect illusion of the Final DayZ " Someone told you Buddhists are "pacifists" .... one can make an assertion that Buddhist doctrine is impossible to reconcile logically with an ideology of violence and intolerance one can also attain understanding by being hit with a stick Rinzai blah blah woof woof explain to me how many players I have actually murdered on my computer screen : Following the rules and protecting the regulations is binding oneself without rope. Moving freely vertically and horizontally without obstruction is the way of outsiders and the nightmare army. Being on a high plateau practicing samadhi is the stratagem of living in the house of ghosts. etc etc this is all standard stuff.. now WHAT are you still babbling about ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gateless_Barrier xxP

no problem dude ... if you ask a straight question on this forum - the tradition is someone will give you a good answer..there has been a lot of help passed around for a long time.. the word "nubes" got banned about a century ago (dont know if it got banned or if just nobody ever used it..) .. If you ask how to put a tent up someone will explain it or give you a link. if you want to know anything about guns, ask Gews, ask odin_lowe about photography, (ask Emuthreat about anything at all and see what happens?). there are people around with different skills .. surely some new players with a range of high talents too. I don't have any negative feeling about console players. < I'm an old PC player.. like them because they are RE -programmable, you can do anything with them.. Man I can play the original Pokemon Red right here on a 4 core, from the GameBoy program. neat? - (8 bit sound by Junichi Masuda!!) - I just came out like that, not my fault > Console players have been exposed to 100% "best sellers" pretty much, because big companies like to sell megabucks of games... But consoles are everywhere now.. in a while perhaps TVs and consoles (and PCs I hope), hell, the whole house will be more or less one unit. The only thing that can stop that is if the Megacorps manage to keep their 'franchise' in a stranglehold, separate from the communication multiverse. Consoles started off "for kids", but they've been around long enough now to deal with serious adult, specialist, and minority interests.. They grew up, & plenty of the "kids" grew up .. if Omni Consumer Products can stop pretending it's Walt Disney and realize the way to earn more money is put out special & interesting "not-best-sellers" - things that appeal to plenty of players but not to millions.. then maybe console will come of age in a big way. I guess the more the console players grow up, the more the content they want will grow up with them, they more they think about stuff, the more they can make their own minds up, the better will be the quality they look for... the better the things they'll get. Like writing novels.. someone will say, "Hey, this is not a best seller, but 600,000 people think it's GREAT".. so let's DO that.. "scuse me.. got started off on something there.. I've liked DayZ for a long time. It can change people and change the way they play (even the way they think in the game); that's not bad. enjoy.

BI brought in a studio design team to rebuild the Environment 4 years ago .. They mainly concentrated on TAKING OUT wilderness. If you used the thread I linked you as a STARTING place, would have found the WHOLE LONG argument about wilderness, rivers, tree-density, blocks of housing, temperature extremes, mountains, roads, military bases, lakes, dams, city/village proliferation, solitude, isolated areas, hideouts, special areas. All THAT argument and discussion was decided and nailed down 4 years ago. Many players had many comments to make. What you get NOW is the RESULT of that policy design decision. If you are interested in restarting that discussion, or startting your own without going over the same stuff again - check out what already happened, what was proposed by players. Notice the decisions BI made, how the map changed - and start the discussion again. I'm simply giving you a tiny helpful pointer to a few dozen SOLID blocks of information that you might find useful. You maybe missed them the first time round. This whole environment issue has been discussed to death. Search "snow"' Found 1804 results xxP

Unfortunately the interstellar debris Ming157 will strike Earth 74 seconds before Midnight EST, (location 175MC45 USNG). The M175 is about 32km in diameter and traveling at only 88 km/sec relative to the projected point of impact. As this is an inland event, it is expected that players in Europe and Asia will be able to log in to DayZ 1.0 for over an hour before serious disruptive effects propagate. NASA had originally aimed to have catalogued 90% of near-Earth objects larger than 1 km in diameter (large enough to cause a mass extinction) by 2008. Unfortunately this project is behind schedule and is now [/was] expected to be completed within the next few years. Both BI and NASA apologize for inconvenience to USA DayZ players. Note that mass panic or complaining on this blog is pointless: thank you.

Sorry Emuthreat, but this is like being hassled at the door by a Jehova's Witness - I told you I'm a Buddhist. Do you seek enlightenment ?

Sorry mate.. I thought it was Andrew Huk who said: << the easiest way to loot up and get geared up with good shit is to go to the military base, loot up, log out and back in and loot up aagain, its genius in my opinion. The game devs make this game very hard to play , especially when you're limited with 2-3 hours a day for gaming. So i really don't care lol...>> << i'm gonna log out if im being shot at cause it sucks when you're fully looted >> <<i always get killed by people killing on site, and thats whats ruining the game too, so that's why i server hop. I could care less about "sexy gear" honestly... I just want a mosin with plenty of bullets and a pistol is enough... >> << yeah so what if you get killed, you can go server hop by a military base and get looted up in less than half an hour lol.... >> <<The beauty of it is anyone is allowed to play anything they want in whatever play style they want, if that bothers anyone then they can go play Farming Simulator>> I could have sworn that was Andrew Huk saying that stuff. my mistake - whoever you are, bye. enjoy

it would be a lot quieter if they took all the weapons out of the game, that's for sure. Say, .. what do YOU want "all the SHIT" For ?? What is "all the shit" ? Do you mean ... ah .. ammo.. ?? and.. weapons ?? and sexy combat gear ? so.. you're going to ALL the same places as ALL the other players who want to shoot each other .. you play this game of Hopping In, collecting SHIT, and Hopping Out before you can shoot each other ? fine by me bro, do as you feel.. if it works for you, go for it. Or maybe try SOME OTHER WAY of playing ?

Am I missing the point here ?? You hop to get geared up the easiest way and you log out if you're shot at cause it sucks when you're fully looted.. ?.. ... right ... ..er .. so why do you play? ... Really just so you can walk around wearing military gear ? Do you need to do that on line ? Maybe you could buy yourself an Action Man and have fun at home ? - but I guess it would be more expensive - Be safe. Keep away from games that are "very hard to play" .

In the old days just sometimes, before the USA woke up, when the ping got real low, I played on the Tokyo server (from france) - and that was real interesting. Mainly I played on an Oman server - my main place (they got a world class internet node there), or Prague, & Romania (university of Bucharest I think?).. & France (where everybody speaks french) & hung out in Moscow, & the UK obviously (tough buggers) & early morning USA .. Community is a good thing. I live out of one barrel. I don't collect gear. I never ghosted out of a combat in my life. Last time I put up a tent was probably in the mod. I've met people all over the world. Talked to them, (found out that Romanian is a beautiful language), discussed with them, shared, agreed, argued and fought (had a long conversation with a Japanese lady who thought I was rich because I live in the country; she was playing from a 5th floor office in Osaka). Squads, I don't like. When I die I start again. My freedom, my planet, my game. Why do you want me to live in a compound isolated from the rest of DayZ ?

I'm not interested in private shard servers I like Mantasisg's idea

when they steal the barrel from your AK you know they're too close
