I stopped (mostly) engaging Zombies in melee for exactly this reason. It's not EVERY encounter by any means, but it does happen, that gear gets ruined from one or two hits. And being killed instantly by the first or second hit from a zombie isn't an issue...until it actually happens. The frustration comes from how unpredictable the behavior is. Some hits apply no damage. Some apply tons of damage. And you can't rightly know when hit detection will even work as expected. Good observations.

A word of warning...you don't get as much detail from the "Full Map" as you do from the smaller individual ones. You can zoom in much farther with the smaller maps than you can with full. I'm sure this is a bug though. And in case you were wondering...as new cities are added, yes the maps DO get updated as well (so far it seems). Well done :D

If you have no weapons on your back and a low backpack, you can use the "look over shoulder" keys or use free-look to look over your shoulder in first-person view and record. There will be no "dot" on the screen like that.

Let's go running It's so good for you Let's go running Beneath the sky of blue Get up and run every morn :) Feel as free and happy as the day you were born Let's go native Run your cares away Be creative Learn to live and play Every survivor needs to run ;) This applies to everyone Life's worth living When nature's giving Happiness to everyone So let's go running! Here's what to do: Drop your rifles and ammo.Keep a weapon to ward off zombies.Load up on water and food.Grab your running shoes.And let's go! Yes, I have on pink shoes. Wanna fight about it? :P See you on the road!

We have a winner! I hope I don't get sued!

That's awesome :thumbsup: Did you meet anyone along the way? Any cool stories?

Awesome concept, OP. A few questions: Do you think there would be a time limit or would it be an on-going type of thing? If it's timed to only a few hours, why not do it now? :) What server location are we talking here? US East? West? UK? :thumbsup:

What would you do in real life if your leg hurt to walk on, but you wanted to walk anyway? And Morphine *used* to work to solve this but there may be issues with it now?

I'll toss out a vote for Singleplayer or private / local hives. Fun is where you find it. I find fun in looting and travelling the map without having to worry about watching my back every time I enter/leave a building. Would it get stale? Maybe. But I'd certainly get my $30 worth out of it. It's an option and all we're saying is there are some people who would enjoy it (a loot-based open world sandbox game with AI enemies). Enabling this as an option won't affect the rest of you who for some reason can't imagine playing offline.

Beans for the idea. I like the "king of the hill" concept but there's a few things to figure out first. Namely how to prevent it from taking forever to finish. Some people would be too tempted to hide and wait it out. Plus the 4-hour restart thingy to deal with (or is that configurable?) And there wouldn't be any way to prevent people from bringing things in, so... How about making it "come as you are" and make it like a scavenger hunt featuring some rare or cool items that are placed there first. Confine the search area to one large town and even leave clues to where the loot is! That way there are in-game prizes. Posting security guards in the city to keep things somewhat safe would be a bonus.

Thanks for doing this! It stinks that the cities perform so poorly. I'm sure they'll get it worked out though.

Great skills man. Well done. And I'm glad you at least tried the friendly option first! Note to self: avoid predictable circuits

I'm blown away. Blown. What a riot. Watched yesterday and had to come back for an encore. Great job!

Pretty good overall. I learned a few things! The game still looks good with those tweaks and they seem to provide some tactical advantages too so it's worth trying for sure. FWIW, I found that leaving the Video Memory setting at Auto actually performed better and utilized more of my available VRAM than setting it to (max). This was with two 580s in SLI (2x 1.5GB) and monitoring mem usage with Precision. If you set your config file to read-only does that prevent you from making changes and/or persisting those changes using the Video settings dialog? (from the video it didn't look like there was a problem with that but I didn't know if those changes would stick for your next session or not) Could you post your top-end FPS averages (in cities and outdoors) post-tweaks so people will have an idea what to expect even with a tweaked out high-end rig?

Was wondering the same thing. It can't be FPS in the HUD. Has to be something else. Otherwise, I want that machine!

Yeah something was fishy about that guy. "That's...not necessary." when you cuff him. Haha. He took it well considering how screwed he was.

There are 99 "known issues" that have been acknowledged but have not been fixed yet (as of the 0.43 update in late March) and many more that have already been fixed but not released. Of course, all of this information and more is available (plus nearly 7,000 issues total) on the DayZ DevTracker. Perhaps if some new posters checked this list, they'd see that the issue they need RIGHT NOW is being worked on. Go team!

Well done! He was a trapped rat! :thumbsup:

OP, how did you approximate your distance to target? I haven't spent much time with the long range scope but haven't see any "range finding" devices yet in game.

Tell us wher you are physically, mate! Seattle? Miami? Calgary? Brazil? I like to play with folks in the same region so we get good ping times on a close server. Good luck!

Duuude, I've been annoyed by this too! My clothes are soaked through. You are getting wet. You have eaten some Canned Tuna. I am completely soaked. I'm extremely hungry. Pick one, right?! My vote is for "You" or Your" on everything.

Unfortunately there's no guarantee when any of these will be fixed. :| This list just indicates that they are aware of the issues and are *possibly* working on some of them in one of the upcoming development cycles/sprints. Then the fixes go into internal testing and eventually get sent to the Experimental branch for initial player testing and then they get released in a subsequent Stable branch update for everyone to enjoy. :rolleyes: So it could be a while for some of these, but they are on the way!

Watched the whole thing. Incredible! That was a great crew you assembled!

I promised I'd find it and get a pic and I finally did... The yellow "open-door" empty house (there's only like one or two of these out there I think). Never anything here.

Shhh...it's a "feature". Those sounds were annoying anyway. ;) Actually, yes, they are looking into it: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=10024 And btw, if you want to submit bugs, check out the DevTracker.
