would you kindly post a link to where the devs promised that all updates would not contain game breaking bugs?

I shove a toothpick under the 2 or 3 key just over the w key, then I go have a smoke.

yes of course. suppose you are in a town (svetlo is good as there are a lot o fresh peeps usually) that is crawling with people but no one has spotted you yet when your wife, gf, bf, whoever calls you away from your game for an extended period. do you really want to give away your position to log out for real life matters when no one in the game even has a clue you are there?? I don't.

well isn't that interesting. next time grab some screens or a vid if ya can. that's gotta make for one hell of a video.

me either, when I have trouble seeing thru windows I stand up. some windows are just not meant to see thru however, probably why those are 5 feet off the floor.

depends on the update from what I've seen, it's been my experience that experimental will sometimes get little hotfixes that update with the weekly maintenance (occasionally they will update with hotfixes at unusual times too tho) and sometimes experimental gets a big update that changes the version number. either way there are no change logs for experimental updates so finding out whats been added is a matter of following the devtracker or waiting till it rolls to stable. as far as when they update experimental - when updates are ready is usually how that goes.

oh I agree completely - it is funny to watch tho ;) as far as animal behavior goes in a game I think thehunter online nailed it. those deer are flighty and fast.

I ran down a deer yesterday and killed it with my axe just to see if it was possible oh and because on some other thread peeps were a bitchin cause the deer are too hard to kill without a gun or some such silly nonsense. one should also note the word "almost" in my orig post by the way.

this is already happening on experimental - I often watch zeds run down a cow or rabbit and successfully kill it, even saw it happen to a deer once. almost makes the world believable.

soo I do read a lot of posts around here and I have been wondering how long it would take to see one of these pop up. took since early January, at least from my perspective. well done and good luck on your hunts.

oh I see - i'll check my map on experimental and see if I overlooked something - do be aware that one of towns in the north still shows on stable but was removed in experimental but that one is in the NW.

that's an updated version of the current map on stable (unless 45 rolled to stable in the last day or so) but if you are on experimental there are maps dropping in the game like crazy so you can just loot those and make a full map that shows all the new stuff and access it ingame.

oh but I did notice that before the other guy shoots the zed OP did have the mic icon when he says "I'm bleeding" or some such to the guy that ran up so communication was made and it was pretty obvious that OP was bandaging when douchebag just shoots. who shoots a guy with a handful of rags and a pickaxe anyway?

you are at grid 084 024 on this map (open at your own risk as it may present too much game information for your particular play style) http://dayzdb.com/map#6.083.024 you are just north of a town called Gvozdno and you are pretty far north overall and a little east overall and (yeah another one) about five and half kilometers west of svetlo.

dude that was actually pretty funny and very very lucky the "click" was epic by the way ;)

in my case I am pretty sure I had one empty slot and I had the shotty on the bottom row, when I logged on and checked the pack I had 5 empty slots - that's what got me sayin to meself "didn't I have a sawn off in here yesterday?"

so this is what likely happened to the lil shotty I was carrying last week. I just thought I was loosin my mind or something cause I certainly remember putting it in my pack (probably a taloon but I cant remember exactly).

too much trouble - I can loot cans and pick fruit. I can also hunt other players for their gear (not that I really care to encounter other players) but if hunting for survival becomes anything close to work then its pointless for me to bother with it. the more work it is the less game it is.

sooo the bottom line is... you don't really know who it is you are killing you just want to kill them - why not be honest about this from the beginning? maybe you just need justification for your bad behavior.

interesting - the black guy is the default character when you install and run the game - so I guess you just like killing peeps that just started playing or are too lazy/unconcerned to change the default character appearance?

you've never been to Nigeria have you?

sooo I am for realism and all (as long as its fun) but having your avatar tied up for 15 mins skinning some animal would completely discourage hunting - I know for a fact that if I had to just sit there while my avatar skinned some deer I would never bother hunting.

so I like many others here have had more or less wretched experiences with "Russian" accents (not really sure if Russian or not but they sure sound like it). the most memorable was once on experimental I had spawned at berezino and booked it off to the construction site where I met some guy that sounded like he was from the US Midwest. he was starving and I had just spawned so I was more or less starving too so after managing to loot the construction site with our lives and meager gear intact we still needed food so I tell him about a house not far that usually is unlooted and had a lot of food (granma's house near the orchard). we get there and all doors are closed and no one is in sight so we start looting. I went into a green house looking for meds or better clothes and when I come back out I see my friend come running around the corner of another house. my "friend" runs right up to me and starts punching - wtf! - I went down in a hit or two so I start talking "dude, dafuq?!?!" then he responds.... very think Russian accent says "hurry up and die, I want your stuff." apparently he killed my friend and took his gear so he was my friends clone except the accent. so fuck em and feed em fish heads. yes I will shoot you if you have a Russian accent and I don't care if you think its racists or whatever.

the weapon kits work already - I tried one on my second day (god that was so long ago) and it turned a pristine mosin into a worn mosin - then I had my backpack destroyed by a zed and ended up with a badly damaged FNX and the kit set it back to worn so you would be correct, it works like the sewing kit.

amen to that! have some beans man ;)
