Maybe he liked the view? :p

I don't have much trouble finding ammo but, I also only use the sks :p stripper lips on the other hand... they can be a bitch sometimes. But then I'll find 3 or 4 in an hour period.

In my case something like this challenge wouldn't be very hard. I almost always have a full canteen on me and sometimes 2. I drink from almost every well I see and will drink all on any bottle I find. Most game gives you more than enough food. Kill 2 boars and you'll be good for awhile. I also always keep myself at least dark green on energy and hydration.

Seriously. This game can read your mind. Oh you just found a sks? No PU scopes or stipper clips for you! Oh you ruined your shirt? Yeah well we'll give you every other kind of shirt in the game. Or maybe pants! Yes you want new pants now!

I use both. I have a complete map in game and will use that. But if I'm just dicking around or really looking for something I'll use the DayZDB map on my laptop.

I haven't had any issues with finding anything in the current build. I'm just as geared out as I was a month ago before the wipes minus a couple stripper clips. Besides being cold 24/7 I enjoy that zeds don't destroy all of my clothing in two hits now. They definitely need to do some tweaking. I'm in a radar cap, hoodie, jeans, gloves and hiking boots and freezing my ass off. At most it's November in game so I shouldn't be cold while running in a field at midday.

I've been "held up" a few times. One time by two teens. One in the pink mask was very nice and didn't want to kill me even though the only thing I would ask was if they had a fortune cookie. the other was hell bent on shooting me. His friend talked him out of it though. The other hold up I can remember I wasn't aware my mic was off. They were asking if I needed anything and I thought I was talking back but, I guess not. As soon as I started typing to them they shot me.

Yeah saw one in a shed by Elktro yesterday.

Hmm, Im using the low hiking boots.

I'm always cold with a sweatshirt, radar cap and jeans. I guess I need a different jacket.

That would probably be because most people who play DayZ don't play just for PvP.

Also there were foreign forces in the region to help fight the spread of the infection so there would be supplies and guns around.

I honestly don't remember. My first death on the Mod was to a hacker, he nuked the server. SA was most likely a zombie or falling off of something.

No not really, there's a good amount of people who will turn certain settings down to make characters more visible at distance but besides certain colors sticking out like red or orange no, no in game mechanical advantage to having camo on.

Just give us a 24 hour warning before wipes so my guy can go out in a blaze of glory! plzthx

some noises have been bugged and playing globally for a few patches now, don't know if they've fixed it yet. So I would often here zeds yelling and having nothing around me. Also rabbits used to make zed noises. I stay on the west side of the map and see zeds all the time.

I believe US East-58 I am able to use my chatacter

I've found some servers still have my character, others I respawn with a new guy every time I log in.

I carry 3 stripper clips +1 in sks, and an ammo box with 200 (10x20) 7.62x39. If use use an AKM mag can I get 30 stacks of 7.62?

I hope people don't think I'm a bandit because I have a bandana on my face and full TTSKO. But oh well, I'm a good shit with my sks :)

Probably be quicker than trying to get someone to you.

Press vest I guess? I dunno I've only ever found 2. Can't think of anything else I haven't seen a bunch of times besides the obvious m4's and combat knifes you can't find anywhere anymore. I find rope, fishing lures, binoculars and all that crap all the time. Was just looking for a CR527 since I had a mag and wanted to try it out. Found one withing 10 minutes and dropped that thing. Keeping my sks. I'm always on the lookout for a new high capacity vest since they always get beat up.

"We all know that one of the most unpleasant things in DayZ right now is the melee system. Problems with melee can be divided into two separate issues - collision shapes and hit detection. Until recently the melee system was prototyped in script and it introduced a nice hit detection mechanic during the swing where a trace is cast directly from the weapon, however this solution is suffering from desync and lags in the multiplayer environment. Now the melee system is being redone within the engine itself so we will expand upon it and hopefully find the most ideal solution on how to retain hit detection during swing in game but the task will take some time. Anyway don't worry as I have good news for all you lovers of short range weapons and the stealth approach. To bridge the gap until the new system is ready, we have turned off swing hit detection and put straightforward cursor detection in for the interim. Together with adjusted collision shapes it results in a usable melee system for our purposes. While you will not be able to block your firefighter axe swing on a wall, you will at least hit what you are aiming for and that is what counts." I guess if you're nitpicking what I said was incorrect. And if I hadn't read the Dev blog where would I have magically come up with what i had said? I just didn't use the best description of whats going on with melee I guess...

They've said they are reverting the melee back to hitting where the cursor is to make it a big easier than it is right now since the hit detection and path-finding aren't working right.

I don't care when cars are added. I rarely use them in the mod. Just a headache imo. I can get around just fine by foot. Wheels always breaking, running out of gas, terrible steering and everyone and their mother knows when you pull into town.
