Does this mean I will lose my gear every 2 hours? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've worked hard to get what I have :P

She will get knocked unconscious, try to respawn and then after the 30 secs it says she is dead. Then she tries to respawn and it says you are dead. She joins a new server and it says she is unconscious again and if she tries to respawn then it just says shes dead =/. Is there a fix for this or...?

I didn't like in games how it gave me whatever name I named my computer which happened to be Babiicakez (my wife). So I changed the username to my own moniker and when I opened DayZ I had lost everything and it basically restarted me. I tried changing the name back to what it was before and closing DayZ and restarting it and no dice. Is there any way to get my stuff back or no?

Thank you Black Dynamite!! I don't know what combat log is? Fill me in? Beans for the name change tip tho!

Wait, wtf... my wifes stuff on our other computer is gone and shes dead too. What the hell? We were both alive and well when we exited the game earlier. I don't understand what happened...

Character walked THROUGH a railing and fell one story to the ground and now he cant walk, he only crawls... I try standing up and then walking and he immediately dives on the ground. Is there a way to fix this? How long does it take? Thanks in advance :(

Wow, what freaking luck... just so happened to run into a crew who had a morphine injector. Im fixed! Thanks guys :D

Don't have friends on here and I cant see anyone... what can I do? Should I just try to find a zombie and die then?

When you get knocked unconscious, how long does it take for the greyness to go away? Mine lasted for around a half hour, I could not so much as find a door really. How long does it last, how do u speed it up? Thanks in advance!

Upon first playing, the general appearance of DayZ was more of a ghost-town rather than a land overrun by zombie infection *I would suggest a few more theatrical appearances, such as dismembered body parts, more blood on the walls, maybe an intestine trail or two. It would have more of a horror feel to it I think :). When I first started (and even still now) I get lost as to which direction I'm going in. I even found a compass at one point and it didn't seem to even work. I started to wonder if I had friends who were playing, how hard would it be to find them? *I suggest maybe starting everyone with a basic map that shows their position and the general positions and names of the cities so that I could say, "hey... meet me in town X" and my friend could meet me there and once there we could find our way to each other. I was knocked unconscious by another player and when I recovered I literally stumbled around in grey fuzziness for half an hour which I feel is REALLY extensive. I had no food, no water and I could not even find a door because of the disorientation. *I think 5 minutes would be sufficient time for a would be attacker to get away and for you to be left helpless. Any longer than that is just annoying and I actually just walked away from my game at that point. I wanted to play but it wasn't even fun :(. I understand what an Alpha game is and its actually impressive what has been accomplished so far! I love the game, but theres little small things that need fixing to not only give it a more Zombie Armageddon feel, but to make it consistently enjoyable and less confusing for newer players :)! Thanks for listening and feel free to put in your thoughts and input fellow survivors!

And now my guy wont go where my mouse aims... I aim left and the guy keeps running straight ahead, just looks left.

Screw it. Got tired of playing colorblind. Just let a zombie kill me so I could respawn =-/

I've eaten until stuffed, drank until I was full, used bandages and I cant seem to get color =/. All I see if black and white and its getting a little irritating lol. Where is the blood and health bars?

Lol, just there to scare the living crap out of people by flexing their powah in numbazzz! ^_^

I also will be on the lookout for this, thanks for the heads up! As a newbie, im not keen to the bandit trickery yet... they could tell me they have candy in their van and I'd probably go in =/.

Hmmm... a lot of this stuff is viable good ideas, but some of it is just a bit too much. If they added all of this it would probably lag to hell and would demand a much better computer than it currently demands. I like the fruit tree idea especially, I was wondering why they even put rotten fruit around... anytime its a necessity that I eat it, I get sick lol.

Great info, thanks for keeping us in the loop! Beans 4 u :D

Not sure how many of you have played Entropia, but they have a little icon on their launch screen that says whether or not the server is under maintenance, that way everyone knows... especially newer people who don't stay up to date with the tweets, official page, etc. Might be an idea to toss the DevTeams way :P. I personally didn't know either until I saw this post and now at least I know what im in for!

I think the general needs of the game may have changed as its now a standalone game and people who will be buying it likely have never played or maybe never even heard of Arma II (such as myself) and will not know the cities, controls, map layout, etc.

Lol! Good description. I can understand 110% where ur coming from! Especially having played the game for a long time, you probably have no issues with the things mentioned. As a new player though, I can see things that other people who haven't played the Arma mod can also see. It was difficult to jump into this as a standalone game since I've never played, don't know the lay of the land and if not anything else, I'm worried that this will scare any new players off because they don't really understand the game, where they're going or how to connect with friends. It must at least be slightly more beginner friendly... I don't even know the name of the town I start in, where it is oriented on the map (north, south, east or west) and I've had it happen twice where ive gotten turned around and walked back the same direction I just came by accident because I had no bearing of direction. From a beginners standpoint, I understand how to play. I get the drink, food, how to equip items, you need can opener to open cans, etc etc... but if I cant even find my way around it makes progressing in the map shaky at best. I don't want a radar or anything, just a basic mall-type map saying "YOU ARE HERE. X VILLE IS EAST OF YOU, Y VILLE IS NORTH OF YOU AND THIS IS WHICH WAY UR FACING!" ^_^.

Ahhh damn... how long the maintenance gonna last, any idea? Sorry, im new to the game and its my first day playing. I need my DayZ fix and I cant play it, AHHHH!! :P
