I guess it means a full backpack may offer some "armor" against shots in the back, striking trough the backpack. Same applys to different equipment all over your body. And it will put an end to shooting someone in the head and destroying everything he has, I guess.

Listen to Pants! If you are on a Hardcore-Server, then there is no 3rd-Person-Option. You can see the the kind of server in the Serverlist, listing mostly "Regular" and some "Hardcore" Servers. If you join a Regular-Server, simply press the "Enter"-Key on the Keypad to switch betweeen 1st- and 3rd-Person-View, as everyone said. Have fun!

Pretty nice! I like the way he communicates the problem and the solution to the people! I was in closed beta of MW:Online and there was never much of a communication of game mechanic problems to the people, not even mentioning of some bug fixes in the patch notes. The way rocket and his team handle this is very good. I hope this will be the way to go in the future! Thanks!

@Gerander: Cause the option to drink it is the first one in the right click menu. You have to choose the second option to apply the tincture to your wounds. Everytime I click this mother*ucker, I'm close to drink it and everytime I wonder, why the obvious choice (cleaning the wounds) is second in list and not on top. Same thing goes for the Disinfectant Spray I think.

I saw a video from the first days of DayZ SA and there was rain. The interesting thing was, you could see the rain on the players screen and he was talking about it while his teammates on teamspeak said, they don't have rain. And vice versa. I read too, that rain/weather was removed for desynch issues. It may be added again later, when servers can handle more zombies, players and respawning loot without bursting in flames. I guess...

Hi, I saw pictures of painted mosins and read about it, to spray it black and then green and it would have a striped camo effect afterwards. So I found a Mosin, a can of green spray and a can of black. First I sprayed the black on, the Mosin was black. Then I sprayed green on, the Mosin was lightly greenish afterwards, no sign of black. Applying black paint again only made the rifle black again. What did I do wrong? Bonus Question: I hear rabbits in the enviroment all the time (the sound of opening a can of soda, short zombie growl...). But even I hear them pretty near me, I never saw one. Until yesterday, when I strolled along a road and all of a sudden a rabbit ran across it, where I could clearly see him, about 10 to 15 meter from me. But as soon as the rabbit got off the road and was on the grass again (no bushes or trees there, just a bit of the "bitmap" grass), it disappeared all of a sudden and was never seen again. Is this a bug, a feature or has this to do with my graphics settings / card?

The linked video may be outdated by now, for the reduced stomach size and the currently bug with the "stuffed" status. But it gives a good idea of the mechanics in the background in general. The grey screen comes from blood loss and before the last patch, you could eat a bag of rice and the drink till your stuffed and gain the healing/healty status and regain your blood slowly. i don't know if this is true anymore, since the last patch. You can use blood bags and saline bags to gain blood levels. I think I read, that blood bags give you more blood than saline, but with the potential to kill you. Anyways, the biggest problem with both blood bags and saline bags is the need for another player to use the bags on you.

That would be pretty sweet... But what about the female Charakters? Growing hairy arm pits? ;)

"Add spray paint instead of paint it"... that rings a bell... I think it was the add-thing I understood the wrong way. I will try this on the next occasion, thank you!

I like that idea. BTW: Would it be some kind of helpful, if a player could write things on tape and stick it on his avatar? Like your blood type so other people could see it, if you lay on the ground and they inspect you. Like some soldiers do it, for the case of an emergency.

I actually like the idea of having "average" looking people as "Toons". Every survivor being a supermodel? I don't think thats a good idea. But I wouldn't mind a bit of customization for the survivors. Like different body types (in terms of width, no height. height could be exploited). A few options for the face, hairstyles and colour (hairstyles appropiat for people washed to the shore recently, of course). :) But I don't know how easy this could be handled by the Arma-Engine. Regarding automatic fitting equipment like clothes to different body shapes.

Thank you, I will certainly think about it! Good luck to you too! :)

@Gr3mlin: Hm, that thing with only you can see your "own" rabbit ist weird... Regarding the sounds: I think I already read somewhere, that this are placeholder sounds for the rabbits, as they haven't own sounds yet. (Why even implementing them when you can't hunt them is beyond me). And, god damn, I was cowering in the corner of a house for ten minutes the first time I played this game and heard the fricking short zombie growls... only after that I learned about them, beeing placeholders for the rabbits... fuc*ing rabbits, man. ;) My point was lees of the sounds, but more regarding the visibility of the rabbit modells in-game. Do you guys see them often? I played for 40 hours now and only saw that one bunny, but heard many more. @VtotheJ: Thanks for your offering! For now I play alone (to learn the game, map and mechanics) and probably hook up with a few friends of mine not far in the future. But maybe I come back to you in a few days, if you don't mind?

I logged of in the second floor of a building once. Logged in again and were stuck in the wall. Luckily I was able to run (double tap W) and jump (pressing V while running) out of the wall after a while. I think this could be interesting for a lot of Newbies like me. After the last patch, I logged out under a few trees a few dozen meters away from a village. As I logged back in later, I spawned in the village. Not that bad, but pretty strange...

@DirtyscumbagLith As far as I can tell, the ammo stayed at 5 rounds, even after painting. Yes, you are right, there was a second option, but I thought one of it was some kind of jibberish (like "load spray paint can" or something). Maybe I didn't read it thoroughly enough or understood it the wrong way. I'm no native speaker. But I will have an eye on it, if I'm ever be able to lay my hands on a Mosin and the two spray paint cans again. Thanks!

Hi VtotheJ, thanks for the answer. No, I didn't try it on another server. Not long after I tried to paint the gun i died and lost everything. I didn't find a Mosin since, so I couldn't try to reproduce this, sorry. :(
