    food need balance to save life

    Old forum-goers, OP reminds me of an old poster that used to publish threads similar in nature, maybe 1-2 years ago. His name, "Rezarekshun" leads me to believe that this is an alt account made by the same person. Does anyone know the name of the account that they remind me of?

    I disagree, but beans for Pantera.

    Exp Update 0.62.139748

    Spawned in Electro, found a sedan in Dubky. Drove almost all the way to myshkino before Dayz crashed. Upon relogging I couldnt interact with the doors of the sedan. Tires looked ruined but inventory said they were pristine. I threw all of the tires/battery into the woods and continued on to myshkino where I was assaulted by wolves. Wolves got distracted by zombies and I made my way to the tents. After that I made my way to the castle, explored there and made my way to the dam(easily my favourite part of the west). I went south(I think) from there and some guy tried to rob me with a pistol. My zig-zag fu was too strong, and when I turned around to re engage he had left. All in all, a decent session.
  4. Look on servers called "Join=Kick" or "test" or "unstable"

    Status Report, RE: soft skills

    This is a skill system, that as I understand it, is effectively pointless. It changes nothing and is of no use to you if you are alone. So if I do a ton of gardening, then do some fishing, I cant garden as effectively? Makes no sense. I think there was some fear of angering the player base if it changed the game too much, so they went with a system that essentially changes nothing-unless of course, you have a squad with designated roles. Maybe Im wrong, only time will tell.

    is it just me...?

    The mod was a niche experience. So hard for new people to start playing, and so unforgiving in its mechanics(and merciless doors) That the term "anti-game" was used to describe it. DayZ being hard is what made it popular. Then mods of the mod made it too easy, and made people forget what made vanilla great, and why everyone was excited to see a standalone version.

    Is DayZ still too easy ?

    The game is easy mode right now, impossible to starve or die of thirst. Only real threat is wolves and server hopping coastal campers with AKs. When pvpers say they are being ignored, what they mean is"why dont I have a gun right away/why do I have to eat/survival games shouldnt be hard to survive in/only real threat should be other players/I forgot CS exists." Surviving in the world, by itself, without other players to be worried about should be hard. If it isnt, then what is the point of calling it a survival game? Why bother farming/fishing/hunting if you dont need to? "It is no secret that DayZ set out to be a punishing survival title from the start of the project."- This, from the Dec.6 status report, gives me great hope for the future of survival in this game. I hope the pvp only crowd doesnt cry their way into making Dayz a casual game.

    I suppose thats possible, however I am not a regular on any server I just pick one and go. So it would have to be that by chance I always pick one with a higher %, which I find to be unlikely.

    Exp Update 0.61.136737

    I find so many guns, even on full servers, that I literally get a bad case of "too many guns" and have to leave them behind in order to pick up useful loot. More guns and ammo would just mean that no one leaves the coast, because in their minds there is no reason to. Personally, I find it more exciting to hear gun shots when I am unarmed, and have to way of defending myself at range. Try looting every building, especially the ones that look like no one bothers to loot, that is where the guns are.

    What Makes PVP Fun?

    Gotta agree with you on that. There is something immensely satisfying about being able to use the terrain to avoid certain death. Its better, I think, if you can get revenge but usually its me alone vs 4 or 5 guys and running is the only realistic option.

    Just got shot by a mute freshie with an invisible gun while trying to provide pumpkins for the great people of Cherno.

    Anyone else find a longhorn in literally every deer stand? Checked about 8 last night and all of them had one.

    Cool that you were able to do it at least, last time I tried I got all ready to be a hermit on the skalisty and I died a little when it wouldnt let me fish.

    Exp Update 0.61.136593

    I knew how to fix my arms, did not know I had to put the worms on the hook first, but I suspected it. Perhaps it was just due to ping that I couldnt get worms, I tried multiple tools, but actions were taking forever, and I wasnt getting prompt. idk, will confirm if it was lag or my incompetence later. edit: I should add that I tried using an improvised knife but it didnt work. Perhaps the grass I was trying to use to get worms wasnt actually grass. edit 2: Confirmed, grass wasnt grass. Probably too close to the woods.

    Exp Update 0.61.136593

    So, Ive been trying to fish but the hooks dont seem to attach to the fishing rod. I tried both the bone hook and the looted hook. Additionally, the pick axe wont let me dig for worms, and after dropping it I can pick it back up, but its invisible, and remains on the ground(I can dig garden plots when it is like this, but cant swing it, nor take it out of my hands except with using hotkeys to change weapons). When I change to a rifle, my arms become mutilated. Anyone else have these issues or just me?

    Running x64. Dropped to 7fps for a few seconds when entering an area of about 150-200m away from 3 other players. Could hear their voip loud and clear.

    From your perspective you are absolutely correct. From mine it was an insurance policy in case the men I shot came looking for revenge, since I planned on being in the general area for a couple of hours. Btw, your tent was still in the area, I just moved it about 150m away and set it up in the field.

    idk if it wouldve mattered too much, from a distance the door is invisible, and i could see you in the tent as long as I didnt zoom in

    Its funny, were you just some randos I wouldnt care so much, but Ive been watching you guys post forever now and kind of wish I hadnt taken the shot lol. I dont always KoS, but that night we decided we were a death squad. My apologies. Perhaps in another life we will meet again, with less lead involved. edit: I also lone wolf most of the time...spend a lot of time fishing/reading/hiding.

    We barely survived, I am typically the hero but years of being shot has changed me. It should make you happy that I ruined your sweet helm, and couldnt take it with me. For the record it was 2 clean headshots, with an extra to the body by my friend. I was kind of dumbfounded that the windows to the tent were open

    -bio haze- I am the bastard that shot you. That was my old hideout before the area was built up. My friend and I were dying of hypothermia, and we took the opportunity to live when it presented itself. Sorry for the bullets, but everyone else I ran into tried to murder me, and I thought you guys might be the same that I had to run from near Stary. edit...cant figure out quote cause Im a dunce

    Impossible To Have Fun Anymore

    This exp build is the first time that I have had trouble surviving since the mod days, when it seemed I was constantly searching for food. Guns are plentiful, ammo not so much. If it wasnt for the unfortunate souls I came upon chilling in their tent my friend and I would be dead of hypothermia. This build finally reinforces my original hopes that this game will be a difficult survival experience, and not the pvp-max loot-no infected-eat once a day arma clone that the mass audience seems to want. I was attracted to the mod, as many others were, because of the reputation Dayz built up as the "anti-game", a brutal experience that requires you to play by its rules, instead of running and gunning over and over again. I may have severely rose tinted glasses when it comes to the mod, but I remember starting out as a fresh spawn and dying more often than not before getting established.... and then getting shot from who knows where in the middle of the woods. When every trip to a high loot location meant dodging snipers and hoping you had enough food for the journey, so you didnt have to risk stopping in a town. I remember being forced to navigate purely through the woods, because roads were a death sentence. I remember having mercy on a guy in elektro because he had just...all the zombies chasing him. Then again, maybe I just sucked at the mod.
