Death By Crowbar

By the way - you can really use a knife on an apple or fruit/vegetable to get seeds? If that's true my mind is blown, I never knew that... I also didn't know the thing about using the plant material byproduct as fertilizer.

I love the fishing pic next to the partially submerged car. Those fish must be... tasty, lol. I'd love to know where that spot is, not sure I've seen it before!

Hilarious I thought this said "celebrities" as well... :lol:

I get the same. I suspect it's because it's because the game is not optimized, and an on sale $100 middle road card isn't necessarily going to perform much worse than a $300+ card, let alone in SLI at this point. If you have 2 monitors fire up task manager or process explorer and watch your CPU utilization - DayZ uses a lot. My i5 usually sits around 50% for all 4 cores when DayZ is running, or at least it did last time I looked a few months back. As the engine gets optimized more should get offloaded to your graphics card and it should start taking advantage that, and I suspect your CPU utilization will start to decrease, and the GeForce Experience should have different suggestions because they'll matter more. That's my guess, or at least what I always assumed cobbling together bits of info posted here and there. The GeForce experience FAQ doesn't give much more info, but I "expect" that these optimal settings are also in concert with what the game studio tells GeForce. Part of the problem may also be that being behind because DayZ, although supported, is in alpha. I'd be curious if one of the mods or SMoss or someone knows more about how that works. http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/faq

The last lootsplosion I found was near Cherno in one of those open air half constructed 3 story buildings, and it was full of seeds and fertilizer. I made maybe a dozen farm plots and planted the crap out of everything. I didn't have enough time to stick around and see if anyone ever found it...

IRL you get peripheral vision, which in your monitor you don't get. Try putting horse blinders on by putting your hands up on either side of your eyes - that's what looking at the monitor is like. I always thought of the RMB as moving my hands away and seeing what I'd normally see if I expanded the peripheral, in essence it would simulating zooming in, much akin the RMB. If there's any reason to be disappointed or not agree with the RMB zoom changes that's the best reason in my opinion. The only other way to simulate it would be a bubble eye effect which I think everyone would hate and would probably cause people to throw up.

Make sure to update your filters and raise the max up from the old setting of 40, there's higher pop servers now. Also, there's always someone in Elektro.

This story is a thing of beauty...

Maybe... maybe you shouldn't shoot your friends? That is also helpful. :D

Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says: “Sorry, we don’t serve noble gases here.” He doesn’t react.

I support admins who crack down on this. I also support any effort to solve it completely, I think I heard whispers of that coming... Brace yourself! Anti-duping winter is coming.

Trumpet.

Where did you find that?

It's all about what your recording devices are.

Question sorta related to server namings and persistence - do helicopter crashes now finally spawn (show up) on persistent servers?

There is no spoon.

Yeah, I saw her. She charged me like a starving cougar and started hitting on me hard... does she like bath salts or take krakodil? She cray...

Look in the monitor, there is someone else in the room! Run! :P

I used to happen a lot when you were higher up. If you were on a crane, a tower, etc you'd get noise from all over the server, including people talking across the server. I know they've addressed that. Also as mentioned "apparently" the rabbits were responsible for random noises including random zed noises when none were around. I think that's been addressed as well. However, the eating, drinking, and ammo splitting still happen randomly. Here's the link to the primary report of it on the bug tracker, it's about the 5th most voted up bug out there: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=153

I want a few simple things: You should be able to do to Zeds what you can do to players. Put burlap sacks over their heads, cuff them, force feed them, etc. If a Zed kills you you should become an infected. Bicycles. Boats.Then it would be - perfection... to me at least. #1 would bring much hilarity to the game, if I can't find people to torture I'll torture the infected!

I've only done one, but I was successful... you have to set it and back away immediately. I think you get like 3 seconds.

Land mines are pretty loud - I'd wager someone came along and looted you, then clicked on your corpse and chose the option to hide it like Red_Ensign said.

The only tent I've ever set up yielded me right in emuthreat's situation - a week later the server disappeared for good. The time I sunk into finding a good spot and stocking up the tent I realized is something I'm not going to waste until a solution is found. I agree this is a real issue, enough of an issue that I personally avoid that feature (tents + persistence) and all of the game play around it. I don't know what the answer is either, but it's a big enough issue I'm not going to risk wasting time on it.

I've never actually ran into anyone from the forums/boards online. I've chatted with a few via Steam, which was always amusing and fun... but in 1000+ hours never had the pleasure. Maybe that's because I spend a lot of time hiding... :lol:

I honestly think that being early access alpha and the drain on keeping it playable and prioritization that takes hurts the speed at which they can move things along. Supporting an existing product while you're trying to finish it in the first place is like doing double duty.
