  1. Quick question for the old hands out there. Is food turning bad once a can has been opened? Never crossed my mind, I usually open a can of beans or whatever and gulp the whole thing down. Is it actually possible to, let's say, only eat half of it and keep the other half for a raining day in your backpack. Will the food turn bad and make you sick if you eat it a few days on? Or am I only running the risk of having a sardine-smelling compass ? Red
  2. I'm all good with whatever behaviour other players may have. Unless pre-arranged meeting-point with mates, I'll kill anyone with a firearm. I hardly ever actually do long-shot sniping, I found the habit too addictive ^_^ . Recent exception was a spawn-killer, dispatched him from a distance with my Mosin. But in general, I've been sweet and friendly far too many times in the past, rarely ever enjoyed a happy ending. Red
  3. Emerging markets, please... Red
  4. Latest death this Saturday. Started well. Killed a decently-geared fellow in the grand piano house with my magnum, take his M4 + a couple of clips and rush out the same door, only to face his mate on one knee 20 yards away across the street, aiming his Mosin straight at my chest. I'm done. "Top of the world" feeling lasted a good 30 secs. My 1st M4 since the update, felt good in my hands. I could have changed the world given a chance. Red

    Items you'd like to see on DayZ

    A few more top of mind : - Camo net - Animal & human skulls, bones and such for crafting survival "jewelry" - Swiss knife - Small mirrors or pieces of, primarily for signaling mates I would assume - Winding light - Coolie pole or whatever it is called it. Hook a pack at both ends and carry on your shoulder Red

    Kiev Riots - DayZ SA Gear Inspiration

    All of the above would be fantastic addition. Particularly fond of the padded anti-riot gear, balaclavas and military / hunting raincoats (if it rains more often that is). Red
  7. Guys move on, it's not the season yet. Bitter, sour taste this time of year. Red
  8. More Zeds, and they seem stealthier, no? Got caught by surprise a few times. A first growl, and it's right there about to jump me. Red

    THE END IS NIGHT?

    checked servers list last night, all of them were indicating the actual ingame time such as 07:46 or 23:17 Am I the only one to see this? Red

    Are you happy with the current loot drop

    I'm all for less loot, and would love some sort of rational in the loot system, especially for civvies firearms. Finding a Mosin on a shelf next to 2 rotten bananas and a fresh kiwi is a tad odd. A little 7.62mm amno in vicinity would make more sense, still difficult to find but at least we would know that logically some type of amno is around, somewhere. For example, find a Mosin on car's backseat, great. Now search around in the car and on the ground for some little amno. The fellow who left the Mosin in the car in a hurry may have also "forgotten" amno. Or once in a while upon picking up a pair of hunter pants you could get rewarded with a few rounds found in a pocket. I simply find the "connection" between loot not so realistic. Not a game-breaker tho. Still enjoying every minute of it :P Red

    Captain Sergei Mosin & Leon Nagant won't let you mess around with their baby, huh? Red

    Thoughts on the new patch

    My two-cents one rule upon respawn : Get the ocean on my back presto and head straight up the mountains. You still get all what you need before greed kicks in for military loot. At least worked ok before this latest update. Haven't really tested now. Red
  13. If anyone flies the Battle of Stalingrad early access sim, they've set up a neat reminder everytime you launch indicating development progress : 25% 30% 38% and so on. Still, some peeps scream about how come this, or how come that ? A watermark top-right corner of the screen throughout the game should do the trick for the anxious ones. Red
  14. I had wished for 99% Eastern Block firearms for the sake of geographical accuracy, but at the end of the day as long as it shoots straight and makes rather large holes I'll be happy. Red

    anyone else's player get wiped?

    Yes, upon loading the game my character was the girl on the splash screen. I hit play (not change server) and there she was all by herself in the dark, looking for some companionship and TLC. Nada, zero. Harsh world out there she thought. Red

    anyone else's player get wiped?

    Happened to me. I'm a young sexy Afro girl again, instead of that old Rambo redneck of a few days past. Red

    Vehicles: For or against them?

    Never played the mod, but not too keen on vehicles either unless they require enormous maintenance, and a great deal of spare parts. The world seems pretty rusty and miserable, I can't see internal combustion engines fitting in. Muscle power is ok. A mountain bike, hunt for spares, ride it, carry it wherever you wish. Even attach your backpack(s) to racks but if you ride too hard it may fail or you may even hurt yourself bad. I quite fancy the animal power direction. A horse for speed, or a mule for carrying more loot. Keep them in tip-top shape or they will bugger off or die on you :) Poor things Red

    Item Conditions: Which Actually Matter?

    I thought you can actually lose items while running if you've packed them in a damaged backpack or piece of clothing, no ? Fashion-victim here, I always go for pristine clothing anyway :rolleyes: Red
  19. Had quite a few, mostly humbling moments. Latest was on Green Mountain at the military facility. Only 3 players on server, including me. Felt pretty safe. So I looted the place nicely, and proceeded into a room to re-arrange my backpack gear. Messed around with inventory for a min or two, and stepped out of the room. Guy with an axe right there outside the room facing me, I fire my Mosin and miss, fire again, click. Axe drops right on my neck. Done. Red

    Mosin Nagant?!

    Found my previous 2 Mosin at factory's flat roof in Elektro by the seafront, up the staircase and ladder. A tad odd but why not. Red

    Players in Asia or Asia Pacific?

    Hola All, First post here, and a very innocent Hong Kong bambi. Usually dieing on weekend evenings. Can you guys share your ingame name for Steam Friends ? Red
