BadAsh (DayZ)

Because DayZ should hopefully do the opposite of whatever crap H1Z1 does.

Report it as a bug then. I haven't experienced that, nor have I noticed a rise in "topics like these across the forums" following that patch (most of these topics, the amount of which has been fairly stable since they introduced the log out countdown, can without a doubt be attributed to them being killed after logging out).

How do you know? You could log out in the safest place imaginable and still not be safe from that.

So a new bolt action rifle in the works has been confirmed. Anyone care to make an educated guess at which rifle it will be? I assume that it is going to use existing ammo, based on Torchias frequent outspoken dislike of adding new ammo types to the game.

Yes, that interpretation conforms nicely with Aggathors findings in his interesting video series about social experiments.

This. Trying to make generalisations from the nationality of players are completely retarded, and shows more about the prejudices of the persons trying to do that, than about the nationalites they try to generalise about.

The Session lost-message on Exp is the server restarting. For some reason it behaves a bit differently than the how it does on stable, no yellow chain and countdown "No message recieved", just the sudden "Session lost". I've got crashes as well when leaving the game from exp, though. And yeah, I would assume they would throw the rubberband fix version on exp for a bit before making it go stable, and thus tomorrow seems like an unlikely date for the stable update.

As far as I understand it if you are light green "Hydrated" and "Energized", it means you are regenerating blood (if you are low). As soon as you have regenerated full blood the "Healing" bar will appear, which means you are regenerating health, something that only can occur if you are on full blood level. When that is full it will say "Healthy" and this will mean a character that is fully energised, hydrated, full blood levels and full health. This again means you are able to take some damage with less risk of going critical, and it means that you will start regenerating again instantaneously when suffering damage. So it is very worthwhile to strive for the "Healthy" status at all times, and especially if you are expecting combat. But yes I agree that looking into the exact figures of the mechanics is indeed very immersion breaking, at best one can have some general notions about some weapons dealing more (or less) damage, and thus being more or less dangerous (the Sporter for example is not much of a threat).

Very interesting. I had a similar experience to that last melee fight shown. Only I was only sporting fists and my enemy had a machete. I managed to knock him out, and he kept begging for his life, but since he had just randomly attacked me (an unarmed newspawn) on the street, I wasn't going to let him live. But just as I was in the process of stealing his bandages so I could bandage before disposing of him, I went unconscious, quickly followed by the death message as I bled out. He must have had a laugh when he woke up. Anyway it is clear that while the machete is not that good for KOing or those onehit kills, and it doesn't seem to do much damage, it seems to inflict a helluva lot of bleeding with only a few slashes. The pitchfork on the other hand seems to be completely worthless, fists would have served you better.

Very entertaining. Your videos always give me the urge to suicide my characters and just start messing around as a newspawn with other newspawns. Seems like that is where most of the fun is to be had in this game atm. Time for you to you get a new gfx card, though.

I don't see how the issues you have about them causing bleeding and ruination of your items should be fixed by pathing and optimisation of game to enable more zombies. They can be fixed by not letting yourself getting hit by zombies though.

They taught you they very valuable lesson that you don't bandage unless you are absolutely sure you are in a safe spot (which currently means up some stairs, or just take out every zombie around before bandaging). Or then again, judging by your post, perhaps they didn't...

You don't spawn with full health, and you spawn with a character that is already thirsty and hungry. You need to drink and eat a lot just to remove that thirst and hunger and even more to gain energized and hydrated status. They have tweaked a lot with the eating and drinking stats in just about every patch, but to me its seems that the amount you need to drink and eat now to get full energised and hydrated is slightly lower than it was back in December.

It is very easy to dispatch them with fists. One hit to the head and they are KOed, which means you can continue punching them in the head until they die. Also good melee weapons still dispatches them with only one hit to the head. I find nothing difficult about zombies in their current state and do very much look forward to both proper pathfinding as well as proper amount of them (lots more).

Up to 50 minutes iirc.

Must admit I like all the "before" examples much better than the "after" ones in the OP. Too much instagram about the latter.

It isn't ragdoll since it is exactly the same movement repeated and it shows no interaction with the environment (the body being completely horizontal and not conforming to the slope). Still an interesting new KO animation, definitely better than the current one.

I'm sure if they invented a container capable of storing unlimited amounts of something, they would find a business strategy to make money off of that somehow (probably not going to be the soft drink business though).

You are currently free to use hackmags if you want, but there is no getting around the fact that you will not only be considered a douchebag if you do, you will actually be acting like a douchebag. Anyway hackmags should be fixed this coming update, so douchebags can have their fun until then.

They are leftovers carried by players from before the were taken out of the game. I had a character who carried some, and I did try to load them into a shotgun, but you can't, there is no "Load ammo" option for them, just inspect and dragging them to the gun doesn't work either. So they are just a rare exotic item of no practical use.

It is obvious why that player felt the need to hack, since he is completely worthless at the game. The reason he didn't shoot you in the end there was probably that he was afraid to miss.

Polo shirts:

Wrong forum.

I haven't tried cooking myself, but I gather from comments of others who have that the amounts of stones are important. From your experiences it seems they are not only important, but absolutely necessary in order to cook anything. I think you should try adding stones to your fireplace and repeat the experiment. It would be interesting to see what difference it makes. Otherwise try to find a pan or cooking pot.

Not yet.
