So, the horde thing is in I guess, in a few moments later I was pinned down by a horde at the metal warehouse on the right of the picture. I only had enough bullets for 4 of them, rest ate me alive. Funny, guns now spawn everywhere. I found a Magnum and 30 bullets at a small house 30 seconds in from spawning. All these guys are zombies, on the left and bottom right.

Cool, thank you Haven923, and kitcilron. I will run around a bit and wait for the restart. :)

Turns out one can use the PET bottles to transport fuel, and I was able to fill 2 of my bottles up with fuel, and put it all into the v3s. I took atleast 3 trips with the 2 bottles. As I got in, the fuel meter still showed a sad zero and the engine refused to start up.. I guess PET bottles either do not work yet, or the filled up so less that it was little to nothing for the v3s's monstrous engine. Oh well, I guess that's the end of my adventure, gotta start walking again :(.

I got the courage, and they seem to be stuck. YES!

I am actually in the same spot atm, inside the v3s, in the same server and looking for answers in the forums at the same time.There are now 2 zombies on me and my v3s haha. Server has not restarted yet, wich is good and bad at the same time. I have slided away from the fuel station :(. I guess the zombies are a little extra weight. I don't want to get out as I know I'd die to the zombies!!!

So you're saying it will remain in the same spot and will be repaired? What about the fuel, will it be refueled aswell?

Hello, so I finally found my first v3s. It "was" orange, and it spawned in front of a police station. At first I took cautions, camped around it to see if it was a trap or something, but nobody seemed to be near me. I quickly took some screenshots, and jumped in. Driving was so amazing, I felt so good. I felt superior. The tank was full, so I drove around aimlessly, just enjoying it. Then, it hit me. Literally! A god damn post next to the road. I felt as the vehicle didn't want to move as good as before, so I went out and what I saw was devastating. Here's a picture: Yes, you're right. Both of the wheels broke. My question is, how can one repair the wheels? PS: Actually it was possible to drive with it, and I kept on going :D A few minutes later I noticed that my fuel was running low, so I quickly stopped the truck and looked at the map: Closest fuel station was a kilometer or less. I barely made it to the fuel station, but then, 20 meters away from it, I ran out of gas. Just look at it, so close yet so far... Of course, I need a fuel canister to refuel, but still. Cmon! 20 meters!? PPS: mind the zombie, it somehow crawled on top of me and the v3s. Question remains tough, how could I have repaired the wheels?

Now this is what I like!

Haha, didn't know that. They have a ton of things to fix with the new vehicles I see. :D I should go find one, would love to see the new submarine they call a "land vehicle". Even tough people say that the updates are slow and "WHERE ARE THE WEHICLES!?!" stuff, I think that they are going a bit fast. I'd like to see it get done faster, but the faster Bohemia finishes it, the less stuff will be added. Good things take time. The engine has its limitations. It's amazing what they have gotten out of Arma2 engine, and I'm excited on what they get out of it next.

Did not see that coming.

Rivers, waterfalls and so on. New water and river mechanics would be great, I must agree with you. Sadly, if all this would be implemented, it would happen in beta or even later in the future. I really hope devs will start adding new things related to water and stuff. Just imagine racing down a river with a friend, both have built a small raft. Then once you reach the sea, you'll bring up a small sail and both of you head to an island or something. :D

Thanks for clearing all this up. Side note, by a calipso I mean the rubber thing you wear when you go wind surfing/diving. English is not my natural language, sorry for that :) But yeah, I guess putting your clothes in a drybag, and taking some firemaking items with you, swimming to the island would work out fine. The thing is tough, the drybag doesn't have much room, it's decent, but still, to have some food, all your dry clothes, and some firemaking stuff, getting to the island would still make you choose on what can you take or not. Mabe when the building system is implemented, we could mabe possibly make rafts with some chopped logs. And yeah, the little equation you stated would do the trick on calcualting out character's condition. The current way works for now I guess. DayZ is still Alpha, so we can expect some cool new changes. Thanks for the relpy, have some beans! :beans: :D

Add wetsuits, or items that would make the character not feel the cold and water when swimming. This would allow us to reach the coastal islands without getting a outrageous cold and uber wet. As with a wetsuit, more things like diving mask, swimming goggles, swimming hat, flippers, and other water/swimming items should be added as well. Coolest thing imho would be diving gear! This would in ideal spawn in a pool or in a sports complex. I think a pool/sports complex has already been mentioned, but this is not what I'm trying to say here. What I want to see in the game are clothing items that help one swim to the islands without getting cold. Reaching Skalisty island is just not worth it right now too, not much there and the cold you get when you swim there is just bad. Plus, running around in flippers and a bathing suit would feel like summer has finally hit Chernarus. I attached a picture of a swimming pool that would be ideal place for these to spawn. A building like that should fit the dayz feel too. Abandoned and overgrown.

And well, If you just happen to have a box of matches... Who knows, mabe you'll have a fire for the night. ;) Thanks, didn't know that, I always took off my clothes thinking that it would accelerate cooling.

Basically you are overheating, and you got a waterbottle, and you pour like half or more water on your head and face. Simple. No need to take off your clothes or roll around in little ponds. Cooling made easy! So yeah, this simple little animation, action and ability would be awesome!
