Death By Crowbar

There could be someone with a broken leg rolling around. This is what happened to me once - the noises were nonsensical due to how far away they were and the direction but I did end up finding them ... on a roof after having broken their leg. I patched them up and moved on. If you're somewhere high it could be random sounds broadcasting from somewhere else entirely (where someone is crying on their mic or has a broken leg). Or maybe there's some survivor crouching under some tree crying like a little beeyotch in fear of you? Is it possible to turn a walkie talkie on and leave it somewhere and make wierd noises on the same channel from another walkie talkie?

Fireplaces are like anything else - sometimes you need to interact with them, remove them, add things to them, etc in order to get gear that seems to obey quantum physics to become re-entangled with the game and pop back into existence. I can't wait until that's all fixed, but until then it's like the drunken exercise of trying to find your house keys after you've dropped them in the grass. They're there, somewhere, and can be found, you just have to fumble around a bunch and try not to fall over and lose more in the process. Hilarious read by the way... excellently illustrated.

The greater Elektro area and NWAF are your best bets. Berezino has emptied out somewhat since they nerfed NEAF to high heaven and also redistributed the spawns again so everyone isn't spawning up north to test the new cities out. Also check your filters - if they're still set at 40 max up them to 50 because the Stable server limit has also increased, that might cause you to miss some heavily populated servers.

Dude you look like swamp thing... lol

When I hear M4 fire I usually head the opposite direction. M4 fire 99% of the time means dbag and/or illegitimate/exploitive play.

I like how OP has a hotkey for his splint. He's prepared for fire stations. :thumbsup: :beans:

Topic title was, "Will there be bears?" I can answer without a doubt that there will be no Bears in the NFL playoffs this year.

I think we inadvertantly just created another headache of a topic we can now beg the devs for above and beyond cannibalism and pooping! This game needs it!

Pumps for water - are currently not working. They got busted with .50 release. Try to find a pond or gather rain water in a bottle/canteen. Dunno about crafting maps... :( I've never tried in 800 hours+! There are - elk, cows, chickens, boars, rabbits... but you have to know where to find them. Most big fields have elk somewhere. You can also try fishing?

You seek a chicken.

I would do the following: Leave a note on 1st floor of police station stating, "A quest is at hand! Head to the 2nd floor and read the note you find for more info." Leave a note on the 2nd floor of police station stating, "A quest is at hand! Head to the 1st floor and read the note you find for more info."

How does one someone someone? :huh:

Do the same physics apply to DayZ? Meaning I can get creative and try to kill people with bank shots? I've had people try to shoot me through windows many times with no luck, I always assumed that unbroken walls and windows in DayZ were impervious to bullets going through them.

As far as zombies go: Hoppers disappeared with .50You can now lock them behind doors in buildings, the respect doors *most* of the time but certainly not allThey don't really clip below the floor much anymore (if at all)Navmesh changes have made them more reliable and less glitchyTheir hitboxes are still a bit sketchyYou can still zombie bowl them down hills to kill themYou can still easily avoid them by running in a circleThere's a few more common weapons that are effective against them, such as the hoe, pickax, and sledge hammer... I don't get all frantic looking for an ax anymore because of those weapons.It's funny watching them trying to kill cows and deer and stuffThe concensus is that they're still a work in progress - the biggest progress that's been recently made is the respawn algorithm and the navmesh changes

Killing yourself for a better spawn is a garbage way to play. The "only" excuse I can think of is if you're playing with a group and getting back to them might take you running across the entire map. I can sorta empathize with that, even though I rarely get to play with anyone I know and it doesn't apply to me.

Tenderizing the venison by rolling it down a hill... mmmm... sounds tasty! And no bullets to worry about biting!

You should report this to boneboys.

Last time I died was due to something unnatural, that's all I'll say about it. :|

Woah... wrong post. Nothing to see here! /slowly walks out the door

Are you playing 1pp or 3pp? In 1pp I find it's way harder to keep an eye on the zombies position and keep from getting hit. With 3pp it's easier to strafe around them and time when they'll hit. Some other suggestions: Never ever try to stand toe to toe with a zombie and slug it out, you will lose. Learn to lock zombies in buildings when you don't have a good meelee weapon. This takes practice but can work. Try zombie bowling. I think this still works? Learn to move in a manner in which zombies really can't hit you. Watch tutorials such as this which will help you:

I dislike 1pp because I feel as though I'm playing the game looking through a camera in my chest, or in some cases where building dimensions are really off I feel like I'm looking through the eye of my penis.

I miss that little bastard...

I want to drag zombie corpses as well. I want to make corpse piles and light a camp fire on top of it.

There are maybe 5 small towns near places I like to frequent which are always empty, rarely have zeds, and are great pit stops to either get started again if I'm a bambi or fill up on food and stuff if I'm on a high pop server where all the typical places have been picked clean. I'm not going to name these towns as they're my favorites and I don't want to help make them popular. :D

I concur - that's likely the best. Also, boneboys sounds a little gross, and Inception. sounds confusing.
