    Signal Pistol

    Sometimes I think the search fucntion must be hidden for 90% of the forum members... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/166625-flare-guns/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169505-a-few-features-items-and-changes-id-like-to-see also, these 3d models are since weeks in the game files, so some of these items are already in the game (no signal pistol/flare gun but flare sticks are coming ;))

    DayZ loot spawn?

    ...i don't go and say use the search function (because this topic was mentioned in every single subforum in this forum around 50 times)...or tell you something about the mod (that had exactly this feature which would lead to the "loot cycle" (run in, pick up loot you dont want, run out, run in again, new spawn, maybe this time the desired item...) and that this for sure will not come again, or that this is totally again the intention of the Standalone (no "bubble spawning" of zombies and loot anymore), instead I just tell you: Read at least this: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/
  3. Yeah the forum is pretty strange. Sometimes there is a thread where all posters are like fluffy unicorns that got a new glass of nutella and some threads bring out the beasts that only got anchovys for weeks. Sorry that yours is one of the second type. Edit: You can change it yourself, when you edit your first post ;) (click edit, click "use full editor" and change it )

    Write on every item...

    Woah I can do what I haven't done before: Redirect somebody to his own, older, thread about the same topic: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165691-pens-write-on-anything-this-can-make-things-more-interesting/ While I still like the idea, I dont know why a second thread is necessary...
  5. No. And when the now-experimental gets to the stable thats over anyways (I hope^^). So thats not a good advice ;)

    Tips needed from those who are good at the game

    Military buildings + barracks > barns (with the stairs > Towers > Hangars > Houses And you might want to have a look at this: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169705-buildingsobjects-with-no-loot-stable-version-032114557/?hl=%2Bplaces+%2Bwithout+%2Bloot Or if you want it the easy way...: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#3.062.072 open the map and head for the big red circles (and the big yellow ones if you need clothes as well ;)) Edit: meh. Can't type -.- Also I don't know if I'm "good" at the game ;)

    Carrying survivors with broken bones

    Nice idea. Brought up many times...i just typed carry in the search function and within 30 seconds i had two matching results for this topic (and I did stop searching there ;)) http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/166782-shoulder-your-dude/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165308-more-interactions-with-players/

    True. But I like that one: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169754-experimental-patch-new-stuff-thread/?p=1726083 ANd someday you may be able to do something else with that bajonet than opening cans...

    Rabbits

    We hunted one and wasted...i dont know, like 20 mosin shots and a lot of shotgun shells as well...but it was fun - even if we couldn't kill it. And you should eat rabbit in a (red) wine and garlic sauce. So Dean, how can I find garlic? And wheres the wine? (And no smart jokes about whine inserting here ;)) Or since its cherno, where's the vodka?

    Suggestion Bagpack

    But srsly: It may be possible in the future to carry heavy objects (a stuffed backpack e.g.) in both hands (similar to carry to guns now - one one your back one in you hands, if you want to use anything, you let the gun fall)
  12. LaughingJack (DayZ)

    Suggestion Cardiac Massage

    Hm. Since a defib is in I think that it is possible (but useful?). And a cardiac massage on a beating heart is not good... Maybe you want to look at this thread here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/139952-russian-community-consolidated-suggestions-a-huge-presentation-for-rocket/ There is a 50 page document linked in there, and a part of it is realistic medicine in the game....let them inspire you (and bump that awesome thread if you like it ;)) to more ideas...there can never be enough ;)

    Multiple Profiles/Characters

    Has been mentioned...I don't know, dozens of times. Will not happen...at least not within one hive. BUT: In every Hive you have another character. At the moment (without privat hives) there are 2: Regular and hardcore. (Only difference at the moment: 3rd person is locked in hardcore) So if you play with your friends on a regular server, play alone on a hardcore, where you will have another char (or vice versa). :) Edit: Ninja'd :(

    Starving to death very quickly on experimental branch

    Edit: Misread, misunderstood and posted bs. Sry^^ *points to the post below* smart guy, give him beans.
  15. Thats true, and thats what I told him, and, in fact, thats what he is responding to in the post I linked. So I have to assume you didn't read my comment (because the second part started with "this one is not to muddy or weedmasta, or anybody else that read most of these discussion") but you answered to it, so I have to assume you didn't read the thread or even my comment or the linked post, so I'm gonna say it again, this time in a larger font size: read -> think -> write I did not think, that I would have say that to somebody with 1609 posts in a forum... Edit: this post is totally OT of the thread, sry for that.
  16. Patience. Most deaths happen because you rush. Take your time, watch you surroundings, listen and be patient, stealthy and careful. Dont run or sprint (unless you want to cross a field without cover), and if you have to do, don't run in a straight line...but normally: take a longer route, where you can't be seen. And for sure: the patience to start over again, because you will die sooner or later. Edit: And patience when waiting for bugfixes ;)
  17. And muddy you evil bandit, your last post made me laugh out loud while I'm at work *throws beans at you* (this one is not to muddy or weedmasta, or anybody else that read most of these discussion) I know, 9 sites, discussion already going in circles again, are hard to read, but at least you should look out for posts from the OP before you run around..so I just leave one quote of myself here (which I wrote at the end of a mean parody of the OP) He answers to that here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169233-what-alpha-is-supposed-to-be-a-discussion-on-dev-direction-and-if-the-game-will-ever-be-completed/?p=1722364 Always remember: read -> think -> write If you skip one of these steps, your post will most likely be useless. And you don't want to be useless, right?

    Logging Out - Expermimental Branch 114782

    So, after reading these 6 sites we can draw these conclusions: 1) Yay combatlog fix! 2) but I will DIE and I can't do nothing against it! Because Zombies, Players, freakin flyin cows and infected apes will get my helpless body! 3) Log out somewhere safe and nothing will happen to you 4) But...but...I...want to shoot at somebody, if I miss I want to hide and click logout, and if he comes for me I still want to react and have the possibility to kill him (really thats the ONLY thing I can see where this system is worse) Well, easy one: Its not part of the game. Essentially ghosting works (worked) like a teleport hack, while camping & sniping (which is far too boring for me ;)) is nothing that is against, let's call it the laws of nature (of DayZ). But I see your point, since now it will take a ghoster a minimum of 7 minutes to go around...and if you haven't moved for 7 minutes (!) you are either camping or afk. But still just think about it that way: changing magically your position vs lying in the grass for 7 minutes. Which sounds normal for a DayZ-World and which not?

    Logging Out - Expermimental Branch 114782

    Wut? Connecting to a new server when you left the first one, so that you exist as a duplicate? o.o As I understood it, you cant join another server because you are in one. And you are in that server, until the 30 seconds are over, no matter if you close DayZ, burn your PC or try to connect to another server (which won't work because you ARE in a server). If I'm wrong, correct me, but that was what I read out of these lines.

    Logging Out - Expermimental Branch 114782

    It's a Deantatorship. ;) Srsly: I'm with Dean on this one. So lets say you have a firefight and hide in a house and pussy...ahm...combatlog out. If you sit down and the timer starts you still can react if someone comes through the door. If you log out the way it is now, you never can be sure if you will be killed, so you have to man up. Or you want to ghost someone, same scenario: You can't log out, because you might get shot (and you eat the queing) Or Advanced (light) Serverhopping: You decide after a long run that you have everything in NWAF and log out and try ONE other server so you wont get a delay...but you will have to life with the thought tha if you log out your char will be vulnerable for that 30 seconds, and if you log in the next day to check NWAF a third time in a row, because you logged out in a military building - you are dead... I dont see that it is SUCH a bad thing about that honestly. Find a place safe, log out where nobody can see you and you'll have no probs... Edit: goddamn ninjas. They are everywhere!

    Help?

    Yep thats THE classical Mod problem....sure you have the Standalone version of DayZ and not Arma2+Mod?^^

    Upcoming Combat Log Fix!

    If he logged out yesterday there? Well thats really bad luck and you hear the reload-sounds... But Ghosting = See another player (or be already in a firefight with him) log out, switch servers, run behind his position,, log in again in original server and kill him And now: Login: Players receive a login timeout when disconnect, increased if disconnect within 30 minutes of joining (max 5 minutes). With the 30 seconds timer for logging out, logging in to another, again 30 seconds timer to log out, and additional the queing for leaving a server fast (the one, where he changed positions) - 5 minutes! So at absolute minimum it needs 6 minutes (i'd think more, like up to 7) to go to a position that was behind you and spawn again. And if you don't move for 7 minutes in a barrack, good sir, you're clearly waiting for someone to kill and karma got ya.

    Well at least Dean has something new... And if you are all about stats: [–]rocket2guns 28 Minuten zuvor Correct. It provides protection against shock (although not quite as much as the motorbike helmet. It provides some protection against bleeding from the head also. It's effect against bullets is minimal.
