One day, they will... from that day on, revenge... WILL BE OURS!!! *runs trough the woods, laughing, screaming, making soda pop noises and shooting wildly at every bunny that moves*

Many players are reporting glitchy stairs and ladders, that catapulted them into death or let them slip trough them, falling to their death. This problem should be known by the devs. Losing all your gear when you die is an essential part of DayZ. This won't change. Get used to it. ;)

Are you sure? Don't they roll out the new experimental branch only when the last one went to stable? Today was only a hotfix, as far as I can see.

True, falling damage is broken too.

Yep. You can hear the squeeky gates, birds fly up, breaking twigs and things like that all the time. The short zombie growl, popping soda sound, stacking ammo you don't hear all the time. These are linked to rabbits. My problem is: I can't see the rabbits, even though I hear them. Only saw one running across a street but as soon as it touched the soil and grass besides the road, it disappeared. So, if you hear those sounds doesn't mean you will see the rabbit.

Rabbits. They have these sounds as placeholders. Opening a soda, stacking ammo, a zombie growl that suddenly stops. Dem rabbitZ.

I was plaing on a hardcore server, no disconnects, nice fps. Only the Zämbies did too much damage to my equipment. One or two hits with their bare hands and my hoodie and cans and canteen within it were destroyed. it is a bit unrealistic. ;)

@monkfish: I'm aware of the fact, that the suggestions section is here to bring suggestions for a time, when the game is in a near feature-complete state. But even this in mind, I don't think this will be useful and only make the game more complicated, with no real purpose to it. But as I said, this is my opinion, other people (most importantly the devs) may look at this in another way. So I encourage everybody to make suggestions and don't want in any way rain on merlointhesky's parade. Just want to discuss the topic, no hate. :) @merlointhesky: I saw the video a few days ago, if it is this "demolition farm" video. I see what you want and I told you what I think of it. No offense and you don't have to give a shit about it, if you don't want to hear another opinion. :)

For now, it won't work. The only bullets that have the same diameter are the 7.62mm for the SKS and the Mosin/Blazer. The x51 won't fit the chamber of the SKS and the x39 is to short to get fired in a Mosin, I guess. But I am no weapon expert, maybe someone else can verify this. Anyways, I don't think this adds something useful or entertaining to the game and would be pretty useless most of the time. My opinion. :)

Yes, these differences I know. I was talking about the different status updates you can get, namely "healing" and "healthy". I think it makes a difference in the rate of blood regain. It seems like your free look was activated. It is usually bound to the "Alt"-key. Maybe it is locked. Try to restart your game and keep an eye on your alt-key, maybe something sticks in there.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know the exact difference between healing and healthy anyways. :)

Maybe one time, don't know if it was a hack or just bad glitches / desynch. Was in a town in the bottom floor of the "school" building. Went into a storage room, looked around then tried to leave the room straight trough the door. I got stuck on the doorframe. Even though I was walking straight to the open door, I stopped at the doorframe, wasn't able to move through it and was behaving like I walked against a solid wall. After trying for a few seconds, I stepped back into the room, where I could move freely. Then I stood besides the door, with my left side to the open door, as someone with a Python in hand, slowly appeared from the wall (like he shoved himself trough the wall from the corridor I wanted to go in), sideways with his gun pointing at me and then he shot one time and my screen went black. Looked creepy-funny as he slowly slid out of the wall. Dying from this shit wasn't so funny at all.

When your screen goes black and white, you lost blood. When your screen is blurry, you lost health. Those are different things. You only regain health, if your blood level is full. You only gain full blood, by receiving multiple blood bags or saline bags or by eating and drinking till you gain the "healing" or "healthy" status. To gain the "healing" status, your water and energy level has to be high enough. From my experience, eating a bag of rice and then drinking from a well should earn you the healing status if you just spawned. (you have to wait a bit after drinking and eating, till the stuff in your stomach is digested) If you have the healing / healthy status, your blood slowly regenerates. When it is full, your health slowly starts to regenerate, if you keep your healing / healty status. Or at least this is how I understood the system.

Not sure, but I think I read somewhere, normal maintanance is set to around 3 hrs.

I like the ideas from JiJi, got my beans for that. I'm also a fan of the "include blood test into first aid kit". Only if it is for logic. I put bandages, water purification tabs and a blood bag + IV-Kit into a first aid kit, but no blood test kit? What is the idea behind that? Small wounds? Bandage it! Big wounds? Bandage it, then take somebodys blood and give it to him, hoping he is not dying? Big wounds? Bandage it, then take his own blood and give it back to him for no change? Big wounds? Bandage it and have taken his own blood from an earlier time to give it to him, while both of these actions requires a second person who is not killing you outright? (What a great way to encourage team play :rolleyes: ) And if all of that wasn't rubbish enough, include some water purification tabs, that make absolutly no sense in this setup at all. Drop the tabs and include the BTK, it makes more sense. Or drop the blood bags and IV-StarterKit from the FirstAidKit and include alcoholic tincture and such. Or replace the blood bag with a saline bag, for real FIRST AID buisness, without having much time to waste for harvesting blood, test it and then give it to someone. Another idea from my side: There are small electronic devices for blood testing. They use it for testing everyone, when you are going to donor blood. They take a drop of blood from you, use it on a small plastic clip, put this clip into the device, it tells them what blood type you have, they drop the plastic clip in the trash and use a new one to test the next donor. How about implementing such devices and testing stripes to spawn at hospitals and sometimes in military tents (medic tents)? Maybe it uses 2 to 4 slots in a backpack, plus 1 slot for a box ot testing clips (somewhere between 10 and 20 maybe?). Also it needs a battery to use it. What's your opinion on this?

1. Why can't I see them fucking rabbits, as soon as they are on a patch of grass? (Saw one running over a street, it reached the grass on the side of the road, poof, gone!) 2. What have the symbols of the chains have to say? I guess the red, broken one is the worst. But why is there a yellow broken one and a yellow one which is whole? Is it of interest to me, if my connection is a little bit shitty, a bit more shitty, pretty shitty or totally fucked up? (The last one is the most interesting I guess) More n00b-questions to come.

Well, that escalated quickly... Don't want to sound like an ass, but it is an alpha version of the game. There will be many glitches and deaths because of glitches and deaths because of bored assholes and death because of charakter wipes for testing purposes and and and... You should come back in a year or two. Then the game may enter the final version and such deaths should not happen anymore. You can leave the game now, you have bought it, it is yours, you can play it when it is finished and be happy about the fact, you bought it while it was cheaper then on final release. ;)

PU-Scope. LRS was removed as an attachment for it, according to the (last?) patch notes.

Played only hardcore for a while now. Only went back to regular to play with friends. 3rd-Person-View is nice to play and run around with, looks good and everything. But I don't like the exploit-iness to it. Hardcore for "single play". Regular is fine to play with buddies.

I think, my answer doesn't fit one of those categories either. This place has become a warzone for fanboys and haters... there is no place for reason anymore. No place for us. We have to move on and find a new home, have my beans for the travell. ;)

In my 40 hours I've... Been mugged for my blood 0x Had my pants stolen while handcuffed 0x Had to beat a man to death with a blunt object 0x (I was attacked by a crazy one with his bare hands, told him to back off a few times, then I drew my baseball bat and smacked him one time, then he ran off) Assisted in a suicide 0x Given out supplies 4 - 5x Been in fist fights 1x (Can't really say this qualified as a fist fight, cause I used my fists while beeing attacked by an asshole with a shovel) Fallen off a roof and died 0x Lost a friend 0x Lost a brother 0x Shot a man to death 0x Shot at a man without harming him 1x (He attacked me with a fireaxe and thanks to the mouse accelaration and him running in an through walls, I couldn't hit him with my magnum and got axed) Bluffed my way out of a fight 0x Been killed by zombies 2x (The first time, I wanted to see how long it would take to die from zombie attacks, the second time I was hiding in a small shed, waited 30 seconds then tabbed out and was away for 2 minutes, came back and was beaten by a zombie. I tried to fight it, killed it finally only to get fucked by a second one, coming silently from behind) Been shot in the back 7 - 8x (I'm counting in the times I got KoS'ed for no reason) Starved to death 0x Written letters 0x All in all, I guess I am too nice to people.

Can't wait for the loot respawn. ;) Another good thing is to look very thoroughly. I walked through a looted village the other day and found absolutly nothing. Then I entered a building (the "pub" if you may call it). And on the last chair in the back of the room (besides the bar), there was a can of sardines on the seat surface of the chair, closest to the wall. It was hard to see, with the colour of the chair and the colour of the top of the can. On another occasion I went through a looted airfield and found literally nothing, but on the side wall of the ACT, there is a fuse box or something similiar, where I found (on top of it) cans of soda and for one time, even the new pilot helmet. Conclusion: Take your time, someone might have overlooked something.

You're welcome! Try what EagleTalon told you, can't get much worse. If it doesn't help, maybe report it on the bug tracker?

I think that was okay. I had something similiar. Was running around on a pretty full and looted server. Managed to find some stuff, backpack, some food, water, a fireaxe was my greatest achievment. I then went for an airfield, hopinf for something useful to find. Reached the airfield, searched through the first building, two hangars, found nothing. Was going to the ACT as a bullet struck the ground near me. Must have been a mosin. I ran around a wall, fireaxe in hand. Waited. Ran to the ACT, went in, hid under staircase. Hear mosin shots, then some M4 shots. Didn't sound like something of this was going my way. I stood there for about ten minutes. Only heard M4 fire once in a while, but no mosin shots or anything other. Had no idea, what this guy was shooting. After five more minutes I logged out and called it a day. Hadn't much of a bad feeling about this. Gave them a lot of time to come and get me and was planing on stop playing after the raid on the airfield anyways.

Didn't see the video, but maybe he means something like infected wounds? I don't think, this kind of infection is implemented yet, but I guess it will be (the alcoholic tincture wouldn't make much of a sense otherwise). @Thread Starter: More of a good thing to add would be to go for the head with your punches. Aiming with the crosshair a few centimeters above the zombie head and you knock them to the ground and when they try to stand up, just punch them more in the head. Start again till the zombie falls on his back. By then, he is really dead. And don't just stand there and punch it. Cicle around the zombie, lead it with your crosshait, get up close and punch, till he falls. Then you can stand still and just beat it to death.
