Not even death can stop him from sating his thirst for blood.. AND VENGEANCE!

So, in our second attempt at harnessing the powers of a motorized vehicle, this happened. Althought you may bring my parking skills into question, I wish the car physics weren't this unreliable! But, it was still fun driving around, i just know to never be remotely close to.. well anything.

While the helicopters are not yet in the game, there is an alternative for those who wish to take to the skies as a means of transport in the 1.0 update.

I have been playing on both official AND community servers with this problem appearing. Both private and public ones. He could see for several hundreds of metres, I could barely see for a hundred metres right next to eachother. It's been like this most of the time. My computer is very high end playing on all the highest settings. His computer is a bit lower end, playing on medium settings.

So ever since 1.0 released, I've noticed that sometimes when playing, it will be a clear day, then suddenly out of nowhere a fog is suddenly " Switched on" . It doesn't slowly roll in, it magically appears. But, for my friends i play with they have no fog at all. And apparently they rarely/never do, even though we're right next to eachother wherever we may be in the landscape. To top it off, sometimes it will even start to rain on my screen, affecting my player, but not the other people i play with with that I run alongside. Does this mean weather and fog is client-side now? Sometimes the fog is very very thick for me, while my friend has a clear day. If people are running around with different weathers, this can mean some players have an unfair advantage over those without this thick fog. Nothing in the settings I have found seems to do anything about this issue, either. Does anyone else have similar experiences?

When you go too long without food or water in the zombie apocalypse, the mind is the first to wither. Hilarity ensues.

I think the game has improved a lot in terms of mechanics and visual smoothness. I'm just a bit piffed that Its still so unstable I cannot play on experimental at all :/ I played for five minutes, was kicked due to desync and lag and now unable to join. Oh well. I get it, it's dayZ. And experimental on top of that. But I'm just a tad dissapointed still. Happy to see progress on other sides of development though.

So I loaded up dayZ and found a server with the highest population I could. About 50 or so. Upon loading i noticed the server message was "[PvP] kill everyone" or something like that. And I thought, oh well shit, i better find another one after I can get out of this loading screen. Then while it was saying " Please wait" I heard a voice from the game. Some player voice called at me briefly. Shit i thought. Welp, I guess that's it, I'm dead. My character by the way I remember now Is out in the NW vast open plains, but i think far enough away from any major conflict point. I see red text appear on the left side of the screen as i am still on " Please Wait." " Your leg is in pain, your leg is broken, etc" So, finally after what feels like half a decade because my computer is not up to scruff, I finally get in and the black fades. It takes a while to adjust and stutters a lot. When I finally can see clearly, I notice i am indeed in the middle of a field. I'm laying prone as if I have been knocked down. I look around me and see two, yes two V3S driving around me in circles, as if to taunt me. One was green, the other was gray. I talk over the mic " Well damn. Isn't this some bad luck." The green one charges at me and the gray one knocks into him a moment before his front end would hit me and they veer off into circles again. I can't tell. Are they on the same team or just fucking around with me? The green one charges at me again, this time it seems he isn't stopping. I roll to one side. A faint. I quickly roll back to the other side as the car starts turning the way I originally had rolled to and missed me by an inch. I crouch up and get my gun out. He's turning around. He's coming again... The gray truck is not coming to my rescue this time. I take aim. I say to him over the mic " I guess I'll see you in hell, buddy." I take a shot directly at the driver only moments before his front end smacks into my skull at a high velocity and rips it open. You are dead. If i killed him or not, I don't know. I kind of doubt it as i did not see a blood spray on his person the split second before he crashed into me, but oh well. That last part kind of sounds like something out of a movie, but oddly enough it all actually happened this way. I find it quite wierd to be immediately found by two players only seconds, literally seconds after loading in. Did they somehow teleport to me? Or is it just all mad considence they were out here, driving their V3s on that field. Hacks? Considence? I'm not really angry either way as i died from something completely out of my control. My Computer is pretty bad so I tend to avoid conflict and if i meet players I'll be just passive / friendly simply because I don't really have the performance to put up a solid fight.

Wow, that first one.. what an obvious hacker. He even waved as to taunt you it seems.

Nice vid man. Quite entertaining. I like how you kept your cool when you were ambushed and managed to clean them out. Sharp skills! Nice holdup, too.

Sooo many cool things to look forward to. Day Z is most definately going in the right direction. Great job development team! Regarding polishing fireplace mechanics, I have some thoughts on this: I would like there to be many different ways to create a fire depending on which items you have at hand and the state they are in and the state of the environment around you. Some firemaking items could include: Flares, Gunpowder from ammunition ( dry - Wet - condition makes a difference), Battery & Gasoline, Friction with a stick, Smashing the right rocks together to make a spark, etc. Some would be easier to do and some would be harder. It would depend on things like humidity, windage, the condition of the item and the chance of a successful fire could vary to balance it. Just some thoughts ;) Keep up the good work!

Seems the shotgun damage is very random from player to player. A few days ago I saw in the new town outside of svetlo in experimental ( Maybe exp has something to do with it) But I saw a guy in a hospital hallway ( I was in the door) and he was all the way at the end of it and I took him out with a single shot. I dont know if he had a helmet or not, I can't remember.

Thats wierd! Pressing enter does nothing for me :C

Been sitting here clicking on 40 slot servers for 20 minutes non stop with one hand on left click to connect and one hand on space to dismiss the " max players message" and waiting through the countless " joining server" followed by " could not connect" which happens 60% of the time really bums me out :C I'm very impatient and I really want to test this game! I wonder if I can make a macro....

Hello Grimey Rimey :D How are you today? :p
