This cannot be electro. They are wearing pants. ^_^

"Killer Canuck"? So I guess you are on the other side of the big blue watery thing?

Does anyone else hear the sound of high altitude planes or jets while wandering about in open country? At it sounds like it anyway. Maybe it's supposed to be something else. I remember it from Operation Flashpoint where it occured when you were near an airfield but louder, I think. But in dayz I am hearing everywhere on the map.

No it's in game. And it's always the same sound :D It really sounds like the sound in OF while approaching airfields. It's not really loud, it is just a gentle noise. Like a doppler effect of a high altitude plane or jet. And it's quite regularly. But okay, I'll try my luck in bug reporting. Although, it mustn't be a bug, could be part of the story!? ...and I'm doing it on the week-end. I'm not gonna spend my precious lunch break on that huge bug reporting how-to :lol:

Here, have my beans :beans:

Something like this would be nice. Or maybe if you could have something like friend lists. i.e. If both agree on beeing friends, you would see each others name tag if they are nearer than a few meters. In RL you also could tell friends apart if they are nearby. ...then again, of course, you know your enimies as well when they are near. ^^

Interesting idea. Although, I always imagined the story starts at the coast because we are some sort of survivor of a boat accident or something. Also would you have a lot more people trying to kill themself after spawning because they are not happy with their new char. And most likely, most of the time that won't be the ones playing heroes. In the end you would have a lot of overpowered bandits.

Y M C A, it's fun to stay at the Y M C A They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys ...

Best advice in this forum ever ^^

Some good ideas there. But, I have been riding bikes for about 34 years now, and I have never "randomly" crashed! What is that supposed to be? Sounds a bit like the heart attack thingy, if you ask me.

I heard ape noises once. But I guess it was another player trolling me. :D

If it were possible I'm all in for a bigger map. But I don't think that it make the game less pvp-like. People would start to kill each other because it were so rare. Everybody you meet could potentially have what you need to survive, so you have to kill him/her. And isn't it great what is going on at the moment? Yes, there are Bandits groups that mostly kill for fun. But there are also Hero groups, and there are medic groups forming. Strangers from all over the world group together to help other strangers. How great is that? If this would happen in RL the world would be much better place. ^_^ What is happing is so much better than some other games. There is no rules to make friend or foe or alliance, and still it is happening. And it has just started.

I too have the impression that the content doesn't get ruined. Maybe it isn't implemented yet.

it feels very sluggish. But then again...it's the alpha^^

the upper part of a map is normally the north. ;) But I think the problem of the dayzdb map (that no one of is using of course because that would be cheating) is that it is based on the dayz mod. In standalone there are some new towns I think.

I like games where everything is as realistic as possible, so that I can identify myself with the character, but a setting that I would never experince in RL.I don't know about you, but if I turn of my computer, I am not in a post-apocalyptic szenario where I have to cope with bandits and zombies. ;) Of course I neither want to push out my pimpels in the morning or shit my pants because I don't find a toilet in a game. But to some extend, like having to stay dry so that I don't get ill and stuff like that, it makes whole experince of a game more interesting. I was a big fan of Operation Flashpoint, and until now I still remember how great it (and stupid somehow^^) it was to crawl back and forth for over an hour through the night just to put some mines on a couple of tanks. I wouldn't like dayz if I only had to shoot and run. If want stupid chaotic shooting and violence I turn on the Duke. All Hail To The King, Baby!!!

That would be to easy.

Really, it's not a substitute at all.You can not heat up iron in a normal fire so much that you can properly work on it. And if I wanted to do stuff like that in a game, I know where my dwarf can find the ironforge. If you get my drift ;-)

Weapon cleaning oil is very aggressive stuff. It feels like it's disolving your fingernails and skin, and it probably is.^^ You could swim in sea water regularly and a weapon would not rust if you clean it afterwards. But even without cleaning it, it would take rust a very long time for rust to have a serious effect on the weapon. Most are made of stainless steel, aren't they. Think of all the weapons of WWII that are found lying underground for 70 years. They are also in a "relatively" good condition. (Well you probably don't see much of those if you're from the US or else ;)) Rust surely is not the main reason for cleaning a weapon on a daily basis. It's dirt that gets into the barrel and into the mechanics.

Yes, it can be pretty hard to find a decent gun. You should quite easily find some kind of melee weapon, going through the houses. But the good stuff is normaly around the military buildings. I'm not sure about the spawn times. IMO it's around 12 - 24 hours !? And I personnaly think that's okay. Wouldn't be fun if it was to easy.

Why not make seasons? Maybe one every week in the month or so? Already feels like autum right now with all the rain.^^

Happend to me too this morning. I just wanted to make a few more miles towards Svetlojarsk before work. Suddenly I saw the disconnect counter, got kicked, relogged annnnd respawnnn. And I was so well equiped. I had it all a M4 with everything on it, an FNX45, firemans ax, food, drugs, water clothes. I even found an SKS on the way ten minutes before..wahhh I DIDN'T EVEN DIE I DIDN'T DIE !!!! :D

Could very well be that the graphics deparment still has that on their todo list. They might not want to stress the client too much in such an early phase.

KoS certainly is part of a survial game. More than zombies it shows how society breaks apart if there are no rules and regulations are around. If you don't want to be killed by other players, find other (new) ways to survive. Find a group or try to stay alive by yourself in the woods...

I'm all for a realistic weather simulation. But wait 3 or 4 hours for your cloths to dry before you can log out? Not really. It's not like you die in RL from getting wet once. You have to be sick for a long time before that to die from it. Beards would be really cool, though.
