They aren't going to work on a mac version until official release is done and over, and even then there is no official word that it will even happen afaik. Play with bootcamp, or get a PC. Also if you get viruses on any machine... it's probably an ID-10-T error. You know, like clicking on the monkey's ass to win an I-pad 5.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461 It kinda does now :P I think steam has a policy where if you buy a game with multiple os versions, you can download whichever you need if you've bought it once. Think that may cover it if they ever make a Mac optimized version. Which I think they will, but it will be a while as they've said they won't work on that til after official release on PC.

I tried chasing one down with a pickaxe. Couldn't catch up with it though :(

And what will the guy behind you find? And the one after him? And so on? Nothing.

Yeah, but it will still attempt to load the same char model on the start screen from whichever version and you'll end up with funny errors like this. Don't know why it pulled it up as 'bad vehicle type' though :D

Oh damn, my hopes and dreams, crushed. On a side note, switching from exp to stable got me a funny error message because my char was wearing the police uniform from exp:

Hnggggg. Maybe I'll stay up just a bit longer after all...

I like this idea, not only honeysuckle, but wild herbs and other wild food stuffs. I could see honeysuckle being used in cooking, something tells me that nectar would be pretty good on fish or other meat. edit: looking up recipes for it, tea made out of the flowers apparently can help sooth sore throats and it can be made into a jelly. Cool stuff!

If you were crouched, all the damage the zed did went right into your head. If you didn't have a helmet, even if you were healthy it can still kill you due to the shock damage going way over your blood levels (even with a helmet, if it got ruined in a hit earlier you lose protection from it, and pristine ones can get ruined in one hit in my experience). Or you got ganked by a player, but this is a common complaint ever since they tweaked the zombie hitboxes so when you're standing they will only hit your chest area, and when you're crouched they hit your head. I think they changed that because helmets were kind of OP due to most zed hits hitting you in the head before the tweak. @ guy above me, one punch to the face knocks a zed down. Combine that with the DayZ signature circle strafing, and you can beat down multiple zombies without getting hit, barring lag spikes.

Get off the low pop servers and go into a nearly full one that's been up for a bit, especially on experimental. 'Barren' is putting it lightly. Once the only reason I survived starvation was because I got lucky and found an invisible can of tuna players neglected to pick up, in the middle of a warehouse no less. On topic, beans for your butchery. The blood gods are pleased.

As the title states, I want to know what everyone does when they get surprised into a corner/room where two parties are pretty much at a standoff where no one can fire directly at each other without rushing in. Diplomacy? Go down with guns blazing? Trickery? Wait forever? I ask this because I just got into my first 1vmany 'siege', luckily came out alive due to waiting for like 15 mins and them getting bored/lax, and want to get some more ideas because I have a feeling since I play solo that I will be the one getting cornered a lot more than the other way around.

I think this is an awesome idea, but I think it should be limited to backpacks with the metal rails (if they add them). Mountain packs we have are one thing, then there is stuff like this:

I do the same, but sometimes you think you're safe, go up some one way stairs then hear a 'hey dude' from down stairs- :bandit: Def seems we have 'guns blazing' as our majority solution, I'd do that but I'm a coward and get shaky during encounters so it's almost always a death sentence for me. Only way I was able to get out of one situation earlier was through waiting til the guy's buddies wandered off to loot and a zed beat him up enough for me to blast him with my b95 while he was distracted. Heh, I almost got 'okay I'm gonna afk a bit...' to work, think they heard me moving around trying to get a peek at them though.

For me, having to deal with my character's mental state would only open up the gameplay and actually give me a reason to interact with people. I don't think anyone is asking for big red markers and the like, or for it to be what you should feel irl. I just want it to be another thing to manage, like hunger, thirst, temperature and health.

Police stations and the seemingly increased rate of firearms spawning in regular old buildings seem to counter that argument. First thing I found the other day as a fresh spawn was a mosin in a cow barn, and ammo for it from a car + a pu scope from a bar. Literally just five minutes after spawning. I personally hope we get completely random spawns one day. Why wouldn't a survivor start there? Unless we're talking official lore that I don't know of, I don't see a reason why a survivor of an apocalyptic situation couldn't start anywhere.

Yet here you are, bumping this thread to the top. You cared. Edit: And all the other special snowflakes looking to crap on the OP did too. Pat yourselves on the back guys, job well done.

You've really never seen people reply to them who were the ones the thread was 'to'? Cause I've seen a couple in my day. People who play this game do read this forum ya know. I'd imagine there would be much less of these if we were able to talk to other players in game without having to be in the immediate vicinity...

Why not let everyone fly around with jet packs and lasers? I mean... I'm not hungry irl, but my character will die if I don't feed it. Why are they trying to control us players?

If the server had recently restarted, people could have been flooding it and you got popped with an axe by a stalker or whatever. Guns can also kill you and you occaisionally not hear a shot. Or... your buddy wasn't afk and ganked ya for what ever reason :P Or of course glitchies sending you through a wall/floor and whatnot.

I guess I'll just troll every suggestion thread saying 'oh you want cars? oh you should just play GTA' then. :emptycan:

You are the kind of death matcher I was talking about. Why don't *you* go play CoD? Hmmm? If the only thing you can say is 'go play x game', maybe you should?

Beans. I want something like this. The way it is is just unrealistic and sad. Be prepared to be jumped on by people who only see this game as a deathmatch though, and don't want it as anything more.

Haha, what was he killed with? Didn't hear a noise at all.

All my beans. Instruments would be just amazing, especially if they made them into actual playable minigames rather than preset songs.

I can't believe you knocked a guy out with a motorcycle helmet on. :beans: For the last punch sounding like you hitting a car door.
