So to update painkillers do not work at all period right now use morphine instead if your guy is in pain. Alcohol tincture and antibiotics do not do anything only because infections are not in the game yet. So right now they only go the last stage of the "sickness" and complete its cycle. Meaning that while you get wounds you do not get a chance of infection and do not need to clean wounds. Just take morphine if you have been damage severe enough to be moaning. Now for me I'm still going to use the alcohol just because zombies are dirty and I want to be uber clean so its just good hygiene guys come on. Just check out merinos new guide for more info on medical items that work and don't "work" in the current state of the game.

Use the Dayz DB map Chernarus+ don't give a crap if its considered cheating thats just silly. If the RPers and hardcore players want to play with out it thats fine but its not a cheat to use them. Shotguns are not in game yet and gun decreased spawn is not in game yet they will be in next build which they are hoping will be 23 of January. Also check these guides my friend and all will be answered.

Merinos guide(s) are always de best guide(s) done by the best guy(s). Anyone up to start a cult of Merino our TRUE and ONLY Lord and Savior Merino Christos?

You would be surprised that the shit people make up on the internet. You do know thats like the main purpose of the interwebs other than porn. I mean you do know what homeopathy & Scientology (please don't sue me all hail Xenu and praise be upon him) are right? Not saying you are doing it we love you man we believe in YOU. I am just pointing out what the internet is you seemed to have forgotten. Also don't stab vest not work proper atm?

You don't understand I am not basing it "not being that good of a movie its just got great effects" on his science discrepancies or its bases in reality but of my own opinion & taste. I may have done a terrible job at saying that or making it come off that way. That is because I was being half hearted & joking about the whole thing so I didn't really nerd care about being serious. I want to see the movie for the effects but I am not gonna call it art, high art or even a great movie. It is just a fun movie which is why I am having fun with it and also the whole Neil getting blasted for his initial comments was way weird. Its sad to see people make rash generalizations about other individuals they don't even know for a second. Its even more sad when the self righteous to think that someone having another opinion than ones self. Is just them going with the herd and not thinking for themselves because I'm so fetch & they are not. Even most sadester is that this is clearly a joke thread where you would expect jokers and yucksters.

Take pain pills your guy is not cursing from the alcohol he is wounded a little more seriously than normal. I haven been beaten by zombies so bad my guys does the whole moaning and cursing that you get from breaking a limb. If that doesn't work take a morphine those cry's of pains are seriously audible and will give you away.

It is and is mentioned as one and known by the dev team and is being fixed. The medical system is currently highly broken in certain respects. Your are simply wrong in your understanding of the system my friend.

I am sorry but what?!?! I think you have severely misunderstood me. This happens to me all the time you will have the healthy status even when your guy is moaning in pain from a wound. If you keep your food energy and water levels high enough to have the healthy status stay even after being attacked and bleeding you are just well feed. If you get attacked loose blood and the healthy status you where just barley healthy and not fully healthy and should eat and drink more. Healthy just means your blood and health levels are good and high also that your food water and energy are high enough to make/keep you healthy/healing. This is my point though & I think its the same that you are trying to make. That you may still be healthy from eating and drinking but still have wounds to address and not be truly healthy. This is due to the fact of the game being Alpha and the medical and status system is super buggy. I never said you did not need to apply alcohol or antibiotics to clean wounds just shut up and eat and drink you'll be fine. I told them to take it because even though you are "healthy" you may still truly not be. This information is not my own but what I learned from watching and understanding Merinos guides found here. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159251-merinos-in-depth-video-guides-updated-jan-15th-understanding-sicknesses-and-surviving-poisoning/ Watch these they will save your life more times than a gun or axe will. The rest is just silly crap that is not at all a part of the discussion at hand.

That is not true just because it says your healthy does not mean you are not sick or infected or hurting from wounds. Healthy just means your full of enough energy food and water to be able to regen health or blood. That is why if you are healthy and you get beat up for a bit & loose some blood your status changes to healing. Going back to healthy after the previous attack does not mean you do not need to clean your wounds or take painkillers to stop your guy from moaning. Alcohol is only broken right now because it always give you the status of sick and "my wounds are getting clean" even if you are not wounded. Now this does not mean that when you are wounded it doenst work it does. Antibiotics right now is another beast entirely I am pretty sure antibiotics don't work period or are similar to Alcohol. Antibiotics are getting a fix soon along with most other drugs that are always applying the status and not doing whats intended. So do use both as one does whats it intended to do ALL the time. While the other doesnt do crap and wont hurt you so grow a pair :P . Though don't just take antibiotics only take them if you think you are infected with something nasty. DO NOT drink the alcohol and if ever accidentally do take charcoal tabs IMMEDIATELY and you will be fine. Also charcoal tabs for when a dick feeds you rotten fruit or disinfectant the tabs will save your life. Epinephrine is used to wake someone up who is unconscious or used to take away the effects of shock. Pain pills will help you stop moaning if you have been beaten up to much and are hurting from it. I believe they also can help you move someone who has a broken limb but will not solve the problem. Morphine WILL stop your guy from crying out like a little girl from a broken limb and will let you walk on it with out bitching about it. This will not heal the broken leg fully but will keep your guy quite while you heal. Now I heard that you can make splints out of duct tap and sticks but I tried and couldn't do it. It might be rags and sticks I am not sure but a splint will seriously help with broken limbs.

Don't worry some medical supplies are a bit buggy atm and always give you "sick" atm. This is I think because for alcohol at least you have wounds you don't know about and its saying your sick now because well you know about the wounds so cant hide it from you anymore. Probably not that for sure but more the fact that its bugged and always gives that effect. Don't worry though you are still healthy behind that sick status. Right now the status are buggy and not working proper so new status override older status but the older ones they are still in effect. Check out Merinos guides for more info on this and other great advice. The guide is a sticky at the top of new player discussion forum section.

The same reason you need stones in RL brah. They help retain heat of the fire and stop it from spreading thats just science bitch. (Breaking Bad reference not being a dick)

They get it because of the cool effects. Now I might see it just for the effects also the hopes that Sandy B might actually bite it.

Nope I am sorry you cant compare high art to a crap movie with Sandy B. Just listen to Neil deGrasse Tysons Star Talk Radio podcast on the moive Gravity. He will tell you why the movie is <_< with his sweet dulcet tones of love baby.

Worst movie EVER!

I am fine with aggressive animals as long as its not Deathclaws and the bear things from Fallout I forgot those damn bears names. I'll ask Goldie Locks when she gets back from their house.

Whats funny is right now the animals that will be implemented down the road for hunting purposes. As of right now they are using the same AI as the zombies so they are aggressive but not intentionally. So the whole hunting animals will be soon guys thing taking its sweet time. This is due to the we just first we need to make sure the critters do not want to eat your face off. Now having some animals that live in the "RL" "Russian" area of Chearnus that are aggressive intentionally would make running threw the woods at night a bit scarier.

This post needs to be a sticky is there a way to vote for that or something?

There is just so much wrong with this statement it is frustrating. No, just no the Dayz MOD & SA are two completely different things one did not lead to the other in true progression standards. Yes they used the mod as a base template & polished up some things. However most of the SA has been completely re built from scratch (I'm pretty sure maybe like 90-99% has been I could be wrong I am no math wiz). The SA has been in works for over a year before it was released on steam in a VERY early Alpha state. That is why I assume they stopped working on the MOD & left it to the community to make the MOD better. Plus the community was doing a decent job of making the MOD more playable & enjoyable. Bohemia then hired the main dayz guy (that @rocket2guns right?) to make a separate & new game from the MOD. To say that the MOD was the alpha or beginning of the SA is false & inaccurate of the process. The MOD was a stepping stone to show his chops & to get Bohemias attention well it worked. To say that this is suppose to be a beta or better version of the MOD is to spit in the face of the dev team & on the work they hav done to make it to this Alpha build of the SA.

I personally love the SA over the MOD any day & any way. One major factor for me is the inventory loads better on SA. The other thing that really sells the SA over the MOD for me is simply fists. I don't know how many times in the MOD I have tried punching instinctively only to throw a damn flare. Now I'm not saying that one is definitively better than the other. This is after all just my humble opinion & to each his own. Now I probably have this view because I only recently tried the MOD after I got The ARMA 2 Complete Collection when it was first on sale at 80% off fracking 8-12$ for it! think it was 8$ :D. I was not able to find a good server, get into the grove of the game, and was still learning game mechanics while playing COOP missions in ARMA2. I'm sure if I played more of the MOD proper and played it a bit more enthusiastically like I am currently doing with the SA. I might be singing a different tune similar the rest of you.

You sir are the Einstein of Dayz the Da Vinci of Dayz anatomy & medicine keep up the great work. Also please can you make the in-depth guides more in-depth and complex. I just love science-y guides with data and information out the wazoo. Edit: I forgot to say that you're team is also very amazing. The people who help you figure this stuff out are the great support system of any true scientist good job all.
