What type of in-game drugs have you found? :huh: JK, could be desync.

Eating and drinking system - Please, just give it up.

I thought you were saying they should give up? lol -
SO F***ing tired of Weapon cleaning kits!
blunce replied to wookieg0420's topic in General Discussion
Can't you just like, you know.. ignore them? & weapon cleaning kits do have their place. Guns can become badly damaged if you have one in your inventory when you get shot. Weapon cleaning kit will restore it to "worn". Why you waste time disposing of them in-game is beyond me. More are just going to respawn. No sense in removing everything else that you mentioned from the loot table. We need variety regardless of how useless said items are at the moment. They'll serve a purpose all within good time. We also don't need an abundance of firearms in every nook & cranny. Patience. -
I find plenty of high-pop 1PP servers in the US. Never had an issue of not being able to find one.

So you think Twilight is better? ;)
-
I use to be very cautious to not kill unless absolutely necessary, like yourselves. But having 600+ hours to date, DayZ has changed me. The things I've seen man...
-
Still a better love story than Twilight.

Ironically enough, =UN= are friendly peacekeepers lol.

Looking around the map and... wait, are those like the Nazca lines?

This made me giggle.

Oh, okay. Didn't know it was showing experimental. Thanks Ash. ;)
-
I'm surprised that there's so few deaths at NWAF as well.

Well the idea would be that eating human flesh leaves you prone to contracting the disease Kuru, which is very similar to mad cow disease. It would come with a risk. & you can't assume that all survivors living in a post apocalyptic world are all in their right mind. The apocalypse could turn people mad, & people could view cannibalism religiously or from a spiritual perspective. Any way you look at it, it fits the lore nicely. DayZ is seldom sane anyway.

Timeline? Do you mean the devs roadmap? I'm not sure what you mean. & IIRC, there is no fixed season at the moment. It gets cold enough to the point where we can freeze to death as if it were winter, but the colors of the trees would suggest that it's fall. But then on occasions, it gets warm enough to the point where you can die from overheating. The points that you've made seem to be in regard to the game's current state, where as once it's finished, the gameplay is going to be very focused on survival. It is a zombie survival sandbox after all. It's not that forageable food will exactly "run out", but there certainly won't always be an abundance of it. You can't always guarantee that you'll have a successful harvest neither should you happen to grow crops. You won't be able to find worms & insects during the winter. In regard to worms making you sick in-game -- While you can survive on earthworms & they're a good source of protein, in a real survival situation, it's still ideal that you cook them to avoid illness, which I believe you can do in-game. As I said before, I believe that cannibalism can be warranted as a last resort measure. An act of desperation. I'm not saying that you should be able to survive strictly by cannibalism (although you very much could for some time until you contracted a disease), but it certainly has it's place in DayZ IMO.
-
We should definitely have the option to eat other survivors. It should be a last resort thing to prevent yourself from starving to death. But it should also pose the risk of contracting Kuru as freethink said. To those who are saying there's already enough food availble: This is only temporary. Once the game is closer to beta, food is going to be much harder to obtain. Therefore, cannibalism is very practical.

Is DayZ really set in fictional Ukraine?
blunce replied to Mr Sunshine Kid's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, I always like to go back to it from time to time. & threads such as this one always remind me of it. lol :) -

Chernarus is based on the Czech Republic: -
Why are you guys even feeding the OP lol
-
Primarily to avoid the 3PP "look around/over cover" camera exploit, & also for tactical reasons.

If you read the most recent status report & the one prior, all pistols will eventually be held with one hand when in the "lowered" position. "At the same time we have started changing pistol moves a bit. Although it will take some time to have it fully polished there is a new pistol lowered pose and moves for standing, crouched and proned player. And one more thing... it's one handed!" http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/212177-status-report-week-of-29-sept-14/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/211800-status-report-week-of-22-sept-14/

What about that itty-bitty makarov? :)

Cool man, if I ever see you in the FOG server I'll be sure to let everyone know you're friendly. You can typically find us in the North Eastern region. More specifically Novo, Svetlo, Cherneya Polana, Turovo. P.S. Love your avatar dude -- I'm a huge Corey Taylor fan, let alone a Slipknot fan. Their 2 newest singles that they put out this year are awesome.

It was likely wise of you to do so lol. is your name Cptn_Miller in game as well? I'll keep an eye out for you ;)
