Death By Crowbar

You're assuming you can easily find a pristine LRS and Bipod.

If these are the "infected" type I don't expect they'd have any heightened sense of smell. To be honest I'd expect them to be a little dumb because they're sick.

In previous MMO's I used to play there were simple checks for movement, if someone traveled an impossible distance in an impossible time, they were flagged, reviewed, then banned... and later outright banned. From the literature I've read, Battleye isn't meant to and doesn't have any of these types of checks, but if one were implemented by the the Bohemia DayZ team it would potentially stop all teleportation. I look forward to the day that happens.

I chop down trees in towns and across roads for fun. I hate when they don't fall the direction I want though...

Interesting. Maybe this is really like 30 years in the future of Zombie Island (aka. Puerto Rico due to Xylazine use, which that National Geographic's show Drugs Inc covers).

I try to always keep an amusing note on me. Until the server persistence hits stable I won't be leaving them around though...

Was that the Stable release or Experimental?

Dump it or not... you'll probably die before you can realize it's potential. Gift it to a friend!

Personally I don't mind it. I doubt it's a bug. However, I have to imagine that DayZ staff and potentially future GM type activities (if there's ever in server events supported) would rely on this. It obviously took code to make it happen, so it's not a bug. The question is whether or not they meant for everyone to see it. My guess is yes. I rarely use maps anyway, so I don't see this as a big deal - the DayZ online map (with range finding) I know where pretty much everything is (including myself) so who cares if there's a "you are here!" indicator? Also, anyone who's played enough hours roughly knows where they are when the spawn anyway. I support this effort.

It took a lot of messing around. I was stuck at the bottom of an area with like 3 stairwells, somehow I log rolled up one of them. You should also consult the medic thread and try to contact someone there, they help a lot of people. The DayZ support team is also known to unstuck people in houses and such, they may help a brother out since honestly you should be able to crawl up stairs. Keep up the good fight... log into a high pop server and be sure to yell for help, people do frequent that rusty bucket. If someone doesn't or won't help you at least they'll put a bullet in your head (god that sounds so terrible but it's better than being in limbo).

I love reading this guy's stuff... hilarious!

I got into this problem there as well. Broke my legs on stairs. You can't crawl up or down stairs, you have to log roll (Q or E). I was on a 2nd or 3rd story and ended up being able to roll myself off and die because I couldn't find a way down and didn't have a stick. That ship is evil...

Good luck finding some chickans for him!

He got quite excited. There was a lot of action right outside that window...

They're holding hands and the whole thing looks ridiculous. I can't tell if: She's an old lady he's helping to cross the road? or... She's a drunk date who he's helping standup? or... He's been beating her and she's about to once again "talk to the hand"? or...It's just silly. I like.

Well, did you kill it or did you give up?

I imagine it's difficult to fix core problems when the core is still being worked on and developed. You can't fix zed movement or pathing issues until you have a new system that supports it. You can't fix graphics issues with light going through walls and such until you re-work the core of the engine and have "Infusion" much more completed. It's difficult to add additional things that tax the servers until that code is optimized and the move from 32 bit to 64 bit is done to give more "breathing room" from a memory and computational standpoint. As I've played the alpha and read I'm starting to understand more of why certain no brainer totally broken things are not getting addressed any time soon, there's just an order of operations and we've got a perfectly good egg and we're trying to now grow a chicken... that shell's gonna break and then there's going to be some growing pains. That analogy was inspired by the dude who posted about a friend reporting to have found chickens. <insert GoT reference to The Hound and 2 chickens here>

I think zombies should be like moths to a flame with fire - it should totally attract them and they should run like mad into it and catch on fire, and then run away with normal aggro attempting to kill people while on fire. Yes... that would be sweet!

You just gave this topic a point! :beans:

No... they're a nice challenge and sometimes in the distance I often mistake them for someone crawling and get surprised once in a while.

That link goes nowhere friend. :(

I'll take two chickens.

I've not seen an LRS in quite some time, actually I've only ever found 1. But tents do sound interesting, I'd like to better understand the vision of how they'll be used. I hadn't been following the whole tent discussion because I didn't think it was going to happen anytime soon. Maybe someone who's up on the topic or has an idea of what Dean & crew have hinted at could add some color on: If I pitch a tent and it's "persistent", does it exist everywhere or only on servers where I am currently logged in? Are tents meant to be persistent storage? So if I stash some guns and ammo there, can someone else find it and loot it?

I'd offer you beans for this thread, but seeing as how you're now a fresh spawn you might find this more useful!

When you're geared and have a weapon visible be very weary of completely unarmed fresh spawns (akal bambis). They'll try to punch you and knock you unconscious, then they'll steal your gear and kill you. When I started playing bambis were more likely to talk and be interesting, but as of the past 2 months at least every one just bolts for me as if I'm a loot pinata ready to be smacked. You played it the right way - attempt to interact then defend yourself.
