(after running for 30 mins)Wish I had an autokey.

soldier zed spawns on top of piano house. Sees me runs after me, splatters on ground.

did the exp servers just go down? Got a session lost, figured it wsas just connectivity. On server list though, nobody's up

So he's cast a Hicks on the game. Great.

Why dayz forums, why'd they have to come here?

Lol, spent some time typing up a reply, part of it mentioned a nutritional system. I called for a balanced diet, i.e. eating tactical bacon is actually really unhealthy for you, drinking too much caffeinated beverages should make you a bit twitchy making it harder to shoot, etc.

what would be interesting to see is players "getting used" to certain skills. Say you do a lot of medical stuff, after a large number of bandages in a single life, you get significantly faster and better. Same goes for guns. If you use a mosin' a lot, using an M4 won't be the same. Use an M4 a lot, using a mosin right after that means your time to hold your breath has been reduced, and you have to "grow into" using that gun. It could go for a lot of things, wearing certain clothes, carry more stuff, have more stamina, less likely to have a heart attack. Fighting types, such as one handed combat, 2 handed combat, etc, can be drastically improved with each fight you get into. you don't even have to kill the person, just a simple spar will do(hits must connect). BUT. This is all wiped out and removed upon death/respawning. Another factor would be players lose the "experience" with stuff when they are not online. Off for a month? Consider yourself a newspawn. Off for a week? 1/4th of the stuff you've gone through has disappeared. Also, what you eat should affect you. Eating nothing but tactical bacon isn't going to help you that much, having a balanced nutritional diet should put your character at healthy faster than someone consuming beans and peaches all the time. Certain foods, like spite and other (possible future foods) manufactured foods that aren't good for you could have a negative side as well. Drink spite all the time? That caffeine may make it harder to aim, plus when you crash, running might not be a good idea.... TL;DR-Add "learning and experience" for player characters so everyone doesn't just show up on the shore with the knowledge on how to operate an M4, cut zeds down with ease with a combat knife, and use medical dressing on the fly. The clothes and gear you are wearing on your back all the time are what you will get used to, and changing it requires a "transitional" period, same goes for weapons. Include nutritional supplement as a factor for player health.

Mmm... Dat axe

Am I part of the party too then?

might I ask where that's from?

That's what I'm talkin' about! After I die or something, I'm gonna rock that like it's nobody's business.

exploited. Always exploited. Probably gonna turn into a bandit myself soon enough.

Seriously, havent seen a single one(besides the bugged one i found in a house). Anyone know what's up with that?

I suggest you should be able to break the crossbow down before you can do that.
