I doubt those will be able to work later on, as cool as it'd be, but walkie talkies are going to work.

That's a beautiful picture and a lovely purple backpack that man is sporting. Thank you.

No where on the Steam page is "simulator" mentioned. So no, it's not a simulator from what I can tell, and where are all these geared men coming from that are on their last breath? D: Must be a sickness at the military bases or a cold caught from server hopping. The mod has shown that they're not dying, in need, or struggling to survive, they're having fun doing as the OP said.

Walkie-talkies will have a function later on as far as I know. I imagine it will be like sidechat we're used to, however I hope you can change frequencies and broadcast like that. Even better if they have a set range with varying types of radios. What radio type did you find near a statue? I'd wager if it's not able to be picked up it's not going to be useful for us later down the road, but using the radios at bases and that place would be interesting.

Fires are enough. Then you can sit around them and sing. That's how I've spent a few nights in DayZRP and it's actually nice to just chill with people, but this isn't DayZRP so I don't expect it to go over so well. EDIT: Minus the singing in DayZRP. One guy tried that and he was shunned immediately.

Server hopping

Summary: I KoS because I hope it makes people mad. No secret there. I hate the "It's a damn vidya game, y u mad?!" logic though. Let me just delete all of your save files for your games and you tell me then, "They're just video games, it's fine." It's a game, yeah, but games take time, that is why people get mad. They spent 3 hours maybe just getting finally set up and meeting their pal, only for it to be taken away by someone who had every intention of making them waste all of that time. A personal experience I had was just from DayZ being rude, but myself and friends had spent literally 5 hours getting all the parts for a huey and fixing it up, only for it to literally disappear just as we went to fuel it. 5 hours of time, most of it dull and repetitive, only to have no gain. Same concept except replace a glitch with some asshole on the other end doing it on purpose.

If they're unconscious, sure. You can drag them in ArmA 2, but with it being such a hindrance most people just left you there. Funny situations in the mod though, as well as practical applications to hide your pal while he recovers. ________ I expect either dragging or carrying to come to. Preferably dragging.

That guy is how I imagine all Balota bandits are. Awful, stupid, and lazy.

Hoteevi lay off the sodas and drink some of that well water pumped straight from the ground. I have nothing to back it up except personal experience, but I'm pretty sure sodas are awful for replenishing your thirst meter.

This isn't a bug, as said above, you should be able to just double tap "+" and keep it zoomed in, same as holding RMB. I don't see how that's OP or an exploit.

Did you buy it through Steam or Bohemia? If I were in this situation of getting a refund, I'd contact whoever was responsible for the source of my purchase, but I wouldn't expect a refund. You should always be aware of what your hardware is capable of before a purchase. For the future, meeting the minimum requirements often means nothing. You may run it, but it could just as well be choppy and as a result unplayable. ______ Realistically, I wouldn't expect a refund. If you don't get one, later on when you can run it it will be further developed and you may be pleasantly surprised.

They're looking for ammo to go with their M4, not a Mosin to go with their 7.62 ammo they've been finding. I'd just assume that people have snatched the 5.56 up already. No one needs 3 M4s, but no harm in having extra ammo. As common as M4s are I'm not surprised.

I don't know about you, but if I opened a can with an axe in the real world, I might just spill some. Same with a kitchen knife if I went at the speed of my character. Not to mention how silently they do it! As Frosti said, it's for gameplay.

I expected someone would say they like at least one of those, and while you may genuinely like it, as soon as it becomes a hindrance and ruins your gameplay, becoming more annoyance than anything, you will think twice. It becomes micro-management at one point and overbearing if you try to force this to be truly realistic.

As said before, you're better off getting a job and building your own PC instead of waiting. It's unlikely it will be released while still in development and by the time this game is complete you could have had a computer ready to go to run even the most modern games. Add on to the time it would take to get it ported and you're in for a long wait, and it's all still a big "IF". I'll tell you right now, unless you're avoiding new games on that PS4, you're spending a lot more on that than you would a PC in the long run, make the investment, there are people on this forum and others who can help you get a budget build going. Don't let youtube fool you either, a big part of DayZ is walking. Scavenging. Walking. Hiding. Dying. Getting a bad spawn. Fixing a car only for it to glitch away. Dying. It just goes on and on. I find that all of the popular DayZ vids I've seen (admittedly not much) are scripted, highlights, or a mixture of both, and I don't blame them. Don't rely entirely on those "awesome" videos when forming an opinion on here. They also have high-end rigs, it won't look near as nice or run as wonderfully on console unless they fix a lot.

First is far from pointless, but it's a minority of people who play on servers restricted to it. I use first person in combat, while looting, and when exploring buildings. I don't think Rocket ever said DayZ is aiming for realism. I think he described it as "authentic". I'm tired of the realism card being used when it's convenient. No one wants to die from diarrhea because they forgot to purify pond water. No one wants to get winded and forced to walk after 5km (or less) in all that gear we carry. No one wants to get blisters or chafing from all this rigorous movement and be forced to take care of it. It seems a lot of new people are under the impression that we're aiming for the most realistic game ever or something and as far as I know Rocket never said that. Welcome to DayZ by the way.

So if someone did disconnect or close the game, then what? I misread. Killing them for potentially legitimate reasons, especially in Alpha is not the way to go. Don't punish the innocent in an attempt to punish the guilty.

If you look at the 1st person only servers on the mod, they are far and few compared to 3rd person servers and often with no one on. That says more than anyone on these forums can say when arguing that the game should be 1st person only. Rocket has said 1st person servers will come for those who want it. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ I look forward to them myself, assuming they'll be active.

Seems like something that would just be abused. Need a scout? Have one of your guys die and sprint ahead of your team to the next destination. Want to troll? Go run on the coast and harass fresh spawns who are powerless against you. I'm sure there are more creative things that could be done but I've never been a fan of these suggestions for DayZ where people become the "zombies".

Off the coast i find plenty of food. It's rarer that I stumble into a town where I don't find a morsel to eat. Water is never an issue with the wells in just about every town. Other than that I just keep moving and find a town practically untouched sooner or later.

Most of the time, unless I'm in a city, I just keep on chuggin'. Where I prowl there's very few others anyway, but even then, most people who play this are awful shots on a stationary target at a distance. If I keep moving I'll be alright. Why should you be able to EFFECTIVELY kill anything with starter gear?

Well dying is supposed to be a pretty shit experience. Personally I'd prefer they hold off on that for a bit and fix loot, bodies despawning, more zombies, more loot/weapons, and of course bug fixing. If they made fridges/chests something you could loot and store crap in though that would be interesting enough. Might come upon someone's stash.

I find this is counter-productive. Yelling "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY" as soon as you see someone is asking to get shot. I don't even KoS or try to ruin people's day and I'd shoot at them and tell them to go away. More often than not it's a guy waiting to get the jump on you who found he's at the receiving end of your barrel anyway.

This isn't happening.
