What sword? Did I miss something?

The thing is, DayZ doesn't simulate the situation very well with the current health mechanics. In reality, getting into a fight is a major risk; in DayZ, it is not so much. There's a can of beans in the middle of the room, and two starving strangers facing each other? They would much better off sharing the beans than fighting over it, because fighting carries a major risk of serious injury, even if you win. And carrying round a broken arm or a fractured skull is not a worth the extra few calories you'd get from half a can of beans! When (if?) DayZ gets more detailed injury systems implemented, it might change people's attitudes towards each other in game. (It might not, but I'd hope so.)

Cargo/hunter pants have 6 slots, yet take up only 4 in the inventory. Therefore, they are valuable items for increasing carrying capacity. Might be the reason?

Obviously yes.

I'm not sure that you're intending to be racist, but this is nonetheless a monumentally idiotic comment. I think you should edit it out.

I would load the mags into the guns and fire off all the ammo. (Then fill the tents with tomatoes, obviously)

You should have gone and grown as many tomatoes as possible, then replaced everything in their tents with hundreds of tomatoes.

It's actually much more likely that horses would get used as pack animals, rather than get ridden, I think.

Places I've found invisible loot in this type of house: -Next to the wardrobe by the front door (usually tools or handcuffs or map or somesuch) -On the fridge (food) -Next to the window by the fridge (clothes) -By the stove (Clothes, food, tools) -Under/on the kitchen table (food) -In the bedroom by the TV (food, tools) -Bedside tables (ammo, tools, food)

I've never actually tired to sprint while carrying a rifle slung over one shoulder, but I'd have thought it would fall off pretty easily (unless you hold it in place, in which case you can't sprint properly)? And yes, they should sort out the inventory so it's more believable - ie. searate pocket slots and getting rid of magic tardis boxes, cargo pants and vests.

I don't really mind when they reduce the speed, as long as they do reduce it. Sooner is better, I guess, but it's not a massive issue. And yeah, when they do, the notzombiesbutinfected need to be accordingly adjusted. I think players should be able to sprint (short distances) a bit faster than the top speed of a notzombie.

Depends what you mean by "eventually".

I don't think DayZ is viable without it.

Olsha (sp?), just up the hill from the Svetlo petrol station, has loads of greenhouses. Loads. There's a whole allotment area on the north-western edge of the village.

You aren't likely to be doing this. I think it was in one of the Twitch live streams, Hicks specifically said that player-built structures are likely to be limited to make-shift wooden shacks and shelters: "Players aren't going to be laying foundations or anything like that."

Lamping will be a thing!

DayZ EXP is about to become V3S Demolition Derby. Mark my words.

Boooooo

I think they should add spaghetti plants. Also a good source of carbs and can be grown in different climates and soils.

You could try finding a tent so you can store the SKS. But to be honest, if you do find yourself accumulating ammo for it, it's not too hard to find another one. Might as well ditch it if you have a .22 + magazines and ammo.

If you've got mags for the .22, then use it! It's great. SKS ammo is rare as rockinghorse shit outside of military areas.

I've only used the bow once. Missed a boar from 10 feet with my first two shots, then my prey ran off. Chucked in the bushes after that and never used it again.

I'd say the pump-action.

When you are standing on two legs, you are inherently unstable. You are constantly making small, subconscious adjustments, using several muscle groups, to retain your balance. If you aren't expecting an impact and you aren't braced against it, it doesn't take much force to knock you over. More than that, if the impact disrupts your ability to control the muscles that are keeping you upright, you go down pretty fast. A small shove in a particular direction can send someone flying if they are off balance and their momentum is taking them in that direction already - there are martial arts that specialise in that sort of technique. The same shove will barely move that same person if they are ready for it and braced. The actual amount of physical force involved is not the only factor.

You're worried about that? Honestly? You're looking forward to it, more like.
