umm you mean like this one? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172229-trading-post/

steaks from anything but usually boar steaks as cows seem to be a mostly southern creature. they also have the added benefit of needing a fire to cook so I get nice and warm while cooking them. I haven't bothered to open a can in almost 2 weeks. anybody want a can opener?

and you sir, I can't tell you how much it grates on my nerves to be so much in agreement with you :blink: life is weird sometimes no? ;)

if you do nothing your character will die. pretty simple. the objective of the game is to keep your character alive. so if you are bored why are you playing?

I gotta say... this whole thread was a super funny read. OP major props on logging back in to face the music.

its not exactly a "new" concept. I have over 10 years in a sandbox mmorpg called entropia universe (was project entropia back in the day) and of course Eve by CCP has been around at least that long, I have about 6 years there. the sandbox concept is what makes them and this game attractive. if you can't make your own story then perhaps you need to find a different game. maybe if other games would shitcan their idea of a "story" and just go with the sandbox concept from the beginning they could put that other "60-70%" of game development into something that amounts to a better game.

umm so if its a server with persistence you should be able to just log back on to that same server after the restart and then pick it up. provided it wasn't too damaged to remain that is.

except they don't seem to have trouble finding loot as this tread would indicate... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/211713-server-hoppers-hogging-loot/ they do make it tough for others to find it however.

gee I think it would be nice to be able to just take a backpack in your hands and carry it somewhere. there are many times when I kill a deer that I will also make the leather sack from the hide and I occasionally have meat left over and other extra things that I don't value that much. I sometimes leave this stuff in the sack and the sack just sits there in the wild decaying with the hope that someone can find it and use it and the items inside. if I could carry it in my hands to a better location I would certainly do so and hopefully make someone's day. I've left dozens of child's briefcases, improvised backpacks, and taloons in the field once I craft the improvised leather backpack as well.

The closest approximation I could find for these is from the Kazan Optical-Mechanical Factory (KOMZ). Some discussion about various soviet optics (with photos) can be found here http://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=264-Guide-to-Russian-Optics-Manufacturers with the KOMZ optics near the center of the page. There is also a link that purports to have some history on the company and its products but I lack that much curiosity. edited to reflect current postings

you should be able to attach that log to the fireplace kit while its in your inventory. that's what I do anyway.

good to know, thanks for the warning. now if only the devs would hide the ever elusive tent someplace closer to the ground.

so I have stopped chopping down trees for firewood. I use the same fireplace kit and logs that I chopped a few days ago. Bite the bullet on the four slots and place your fireplace kit in those slots then drag your firewood to the fireplace kit and "attach" the firewood. You can also store some single slot items there, I am quite sure this will be fixed at some point in the future but until the "I'm freezing" stuff gets settled its a reasonable fix. I missed those four slots for a while but I can now toss my splitting axe and gain them back.

I have been considering how to deal with finding a tent in the apartments and so far I've decided once I finally find one I am gonna just throw it off the roof or out a window and (hopefully) pick it up when I get back down. I had to stop looking today though its just a pain in the ass making my way through all those apartments.

umm its likely the reason you died and not the hunger. why do you people spend so much time in spawnville anyway? get off the coast and find a coat (barns are a great place to look for clothes) pick some apples or berries and drink some water from anywhere, get your hydration and energy to light green then go back to play in spawnville. you will have a much better experience.

so was the guy carrying a ton of 1911 mags? been searching for at least a week and aint seen one yet. thank your son for me for wasting that asshat too ;)

I would have to say he fed you alcohol tincture hence the funny taste but I have no idea why you would loose your comms. That was a rather high level of duchebaggery as well.

ever since I made my first fire and cooked my first steaks I have dreamed of leaving the fire to burn down the forest. I imagine myself sitting atop the ruins at black mountain and watching the show till its over. I'd settle for torching a few houses though.

Funny you should ask. I have actually been working on this I didn't think it was really all that important but my head won't leave it alone. I'll write up what I have sometime today and get it posted before tomorrow. I'll do a brief summary here and if I get it all written I will open a thread and tell the whole story. So far its not pretty.

well it shows that you are by far more mature about your life and the way you approach things - as for my earlier statements - it doesn't make the words sting any less nor does it improve game play but only provides some perspective. I only actively interact with other players when I am a fresh spawn or playing experimental and that goes pretty much the way you would expect, some good some bad. on stable my interaction with others usually involves me watching with my scope. I almost never shoot (there was that time or two a couple of months ago tho...) and if they are being harassed by zeds I will often shoot the zeds and move on. I play to avoid other players and I seem to get more satisfaction from watching and not taking the shot. that's how I play friendly.

yer gonna have to be pretty damn sneaky :ph34r:..... OP something to consider is that DayZ is a global experience and there are vast cultural differences so it is highly likely that in whatever culture this person came from such threats are meaningless - where I come from however you make threats like that and the FBI comes and knocks on your door, which is in my opinion a bit of an over reach. words don't kill people, people kill people, and until any action is taken on the part of the aggressor those words remain just that - words. but as a qualifier, my culture is gun culture so people rarely act on their words for fear of loosing their lives.

now that there is just funny ;)

I can also confirm no loot in the feed shacks. searched about 10 of them yesterday and at least that many this morning all across the map and found them all empty.
