While this thread is still somewhat new, I have NOT broken my leg. I can run and vault, but it still gives me a status saying that my leg is extremely painful. Since painkillers don't do anything (yet), should I even worry about it? Is it a bug? Is it saying that my leg may be broken if over used in the near future? I no unnastand :-( Helps pwease!

I'm always staying out of the rain just to practice what it may do later. At some point, you may become sick if you get soaked, or cold, which may even lead to hyperthermia (the latter I pulled out of my hiney, but I'm trying to think realistic survival here^^) Right now, it doesn't do anything except give you those status updates damp / wet / soaked. Just really, just for practice, see how long and strong rain lasts, hide under a tree as soon as the first drops fall, just play it on the safe side so it becomes second nature once that update hits when it actually does do something ;-)

So, I spawn, feed and clothe my character and all that happy crap, and eventually also kill a couple of zedskidoodles along the way. Then I get bored and I want to, say, check out the interwebz. So I park my happy widdle avatar where ever (mostly upstairs now that zombies respawn and they still can't climb stairs), and I go and watch a movie on netflix, or do whatever. (like, you know, actually accomplish something productive ^^) Every once in a while I check in on my DayZ-Gotchi. I feed it, water it, and maybe hunt / scavenge for some more food, then park it again. I can do this all day or until the server quits, but I find it a fun way to still be "in-game" but in kind of a waiting mode until the next patch comes out. Sure, when I want action, I just go on high-pops and engage and all, but for the quieter, more "RL" busy days, it seems cool to just check in with your char and feed it ^^ Is anybunny else as screwed up as me?

Rule #1, dude: Don't get attached to your gear ;-) (Actually I am really scared of succumbing to the Z's now. If I have no weapon as a fresh spawn, I would have to run all the time, barely ever able to pick up any loot. Survivalist, yes. Suicidal? NOPE!) I have to keep this char alive for a while yet, and that's what I'm planning on doing.

Mako, just hang out in one of those green no-loot-spawning buildings, low yield farmhouse or whateva ya call it. I have been going ever since 5.30 a.m., and it's now almost ten o' clock. I am fine by just checking in every 45 minutes or so. And no, I can't wait until somebody calls my gameplay boring, stupid, cheating or cowardly. When you have stuff to do but you're home all day, I don't see any problem with it. Choose a medium pop server, get your char up and running as far as food and water goes, and every half hour take a look see and replenish what you need. Once rain starts making you sick, you might have to hang in one building for about 20-30 minutes. So I just decided to get used it earlier ^^

Yeah, just call it Zomb-A-Gotchi. There ya go. You're welcome :P

Wow, never knew that... Then again, I'd love to have the mod global chat, where all the kiddies go "Hey, where are you, I'll pick you up" and "Friendly at Balota?" But having this to require a walkie talkie does not make me happy. I don't need it that bad, I guess ^^

LOL, unfortunately I do not urinate on wells, since there is no option / need for peeing / pooping (and thank GOD for that!) I know, I am a horrible person, but I will not leave my char unarmed, and I check in regularly. I am an light green in energized and hydrated, and I am healthy. I intend to keep it that way. And oh no!!! Not the Prevention Police!!! I intended to make warm skin-blankets out of my avatars if they do die a unforeseen death! How am I supposed to keep warm without my ava-skin??? Gawd, this thread is so de-railed... Oh mighty OrLoK, give this thread a chance, I call upon you to let this one live as it provides much amusement to some of us! And @WindowLicker: I see a bright future for our future conversations ^^

That sounds actually pretty good, but you still have to use your mouse / computer for direction (where he runs). Auto Run sounds nice, but shouldn't there be an auto-run option in the game itself? like double tap W or something? I'm German, so luckily I got the gist of it, but it doesn't wanna make me scream and yell for the developer to shut up and take my money... Even if it's free... But Global chat? WTF did I miss there? Is there a global chat function, really?

@Crazy, I'm not really complaining. I love the game with all it's alpha-ness. I just need a while to adjust, is all. Please don't put me into the category of complainers and whiners. I said it would be crippling, but I have not have seen problems with the buildings I am staying in when I log out or hang out for a while.

Well, I've been in the police station, the big green and red houses with double doors, and the small, low yield green houses and I've been parked in all of them for at least one and up to 2 hours as of this morning - I alt-tabbed, which caused the game to keep going, of course, and I must have had at least 4 Zeds under me. I'm alive and well with not a single scratch. Is there only a certain building where they do climb stairs? And it would be rather crippling, if they glitch through walls AND climb stairs. One I can handle, but two bugs at a time? That's what I call a "NOPE!"

But you only get half a bambi, since the rest of delicious new spawns and their tears fall uselessly to the ground. YOU, Sir, are NOT a true bambi connoisseur of delicious rage-quit tears. Get that can opener for the bambis. Eat ALL their tears! :D

I still can't believe that people remember Benny Hill. Heck, my mom used to watch it. In Germany. When I was maybe six or eoght years old, FFS. I have to call upon wikipedia, but I think he died quite a while back, didn't he? Here, have some Billy-Beans for that :beans: Fiddlesticks, here I go derailing threads again. But Zombies. And afk players. And such much. Yes.

That, my dear, was indeed one of the more evil things I have read. An afk new spawn. How could you!!! You Murdererererer of widdle Bambis... I felt bad when I took the splitting axe, backpack and jacket of an afk'ler down at the ship th other day. I let him live though, so he could savor his misery :D

I just wanted to switch back to experimental to see if that branch is playable, but all the servers are down. Does anyone know how long, and if they fix the experimental to then patch it / push it to stable? Really don't wanna play stable right now, it sucks too much... I'll give it a couple of days rest I think.

Plexico, you're not alone. My tip: Find a house that has an UPSTAIRS room, and hang out there. Park your char there until this is hopefully fixed. I'm having the exact same problem, currently close to unconscious because of this very issue.

Sounds like a plan. I'm currently parked on top of a gosh darn police station cause Zeds still can't climb stairs. Thank Goat for small favors. I've bled out almost to unconsciousness because of this lag / connection / session lost problem, and I'm staying there until it's fixed. Occupy Berezino! Take shelter in a house where you can go up stairs. And guys, hold on to your bandages and make rags. You'll need 'em! Let's hope for a real fast fix here. This is no fun :(

What settings do you mean? Graphics only or also video / rendering etc? I haven't checked yet, thank goodness I got a new Laptop for Christmas, with an i7 core and a Geforce GTX not much can go wrong... I hope... Meh, I better go check anyway...

This.

Well, I got hit by lagging / invisible zombies 4 times in a row. From then on out it's all bandaging, trying to loot... and that's not happening because the connection failed or the session timed out... I'm starting to worry here, guys...

They broke your arms AND your legs? And you survived being unable to outrun them? Uhm... wow...? *gets scared of Zambies just a liiiittle bit more*

I am somewhat glad to see that Zombs are a threat now. Does anyone have any experience on how they react in running vs. sneaking? I mean will they actually not notice you if you sneak / it's dark and so on? I'd love to have a link on how Zombies "see" and "hear" us in the SA, and how we can gauge their reaction since we have no visual indicators like the mod had. From what I've played and read so far, they are a bit too close respawning, yes, but also I think they shouldn't be already aggroed at you. Doesn't really make sense. Yes, bandages and T-Shirts will be in high demand from now on. I'll start taking orders as soon as base building is ready :-) Also, I hope at some point they won't be able to just enter any house if the door is closed / locked, but they should linger for a while. 5 Zombies outside and you're out of food or water... what do you do without a weapon?

There seem to be wool coats everywhere!!! I mean, much as I am happy to have them and wear them, some other issues of clothing might be nice. Lag, yes, Session lost, sometimes. Zombies are way different than before, I died twice just because they were relentless. (Well, once because I got 4 invisible, consecutive hits all of a sudden.) Once all the Zambydoodles are fought off, it's mostly good to go. As always, I have regained my composure and patience. I shalt not rant. B)

LOL That's the spirit. I spawned with no pants and no shoes. But they left me my cowboy hat. Unfortunately, I was hit 4 times by strange invisible Zombie Hits and died only minutes after I found pants. In a hospital. A few feet from the saving bandages. But hey, I like a good challenge now and then, caused by buggyness or no :-)

Irish, I don't know about that last one... why don't you go ahead and throw some money at me and I'll tell you how I feel afterwards? :P Being rich isn't everything - but it's so much nicer if my tears are caught by my spiffy leather seats of my Maserati ^^ But Tac-Bac.. I still can't believe it, I'm so happy about this! We need a Tac-Bac Smilie / Emoticon please! :beans:
