So, we have all kinds of fire arms in the game. I assume that also in Russian countries airguns are used to hunt varmint and small game. So would it be logical to find the odd airgun in the game and tins of pellets? Also assuming small game (like the rabbit and already existing chickens) will return in the game (maybe even squirrels or rats) it could be a viable option to hunt these with an airgun (low noise, much ammo in small package, possibly with a scope). Obviously they would be no good for PVP (unless maybe you hit an eye) but could be gear for the more hermit type player? Idea came to me because I live in Holland and the only thing close to a rifle I can have is an airgun (have a cheap Crosman Phantom 1000x)

It's technically still an "air gun" but not the kind that OP was mentioning. He was most likely refering to conventional Air Guns that fire small pellets and BB bullets,mostly suitable for small game (birds and rabbits). Indeed, thinking about .177 or .22 pellets, and also about rifles not pistols. Break barrel or lever type.

Yes I experience it too from time to time. Just waiting for about 3 minutes ALWAYS solves it for me. It happens to me since the first day I started playing DAYZ SA, a little over a year ago. I am under the impression there were periods (builds) where it didn't happen. I remember others reporting it too. So nothing wrong on your side, it must have something to do with the server browser and could be considered a bug I guess.

I voted no. Elements like not knowing what the best decision is makes the game more interesting to me.

Actually the enthusiasm seems a bit low for this idea, see this thread: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/205051-dayz-mre-meal-ready-to-eat-for-standalone/

For me the OP obviously has the final product in mind and I think it could be nice to feel that disappointment when you think you found something useful just to find out it is no longer eatable or ruined beyond any practical use :)

One of the sounds I hate most in the game right now is the horse snort / nostril blowing sound, well I think that's what it is. There are not even horses in the game.

Some very nice sounds and they certainly add to the atmosphere. However the sound scheme as it is in the moment is not what it will be in the end product as I have understood.

Very nicely done!

You can fire the SKS pretty fast: Actually quite comparable with my rate of fire in this vid:

I doubt it is actually snow. Looks more like a graphic glitch. There is no texture whatsoever in the snow. The base that should be there is gone. There is no snow on the trees. I hope I'm wrong though.

I am just amazed that after playing hundreds of hours (and a break of 7 months) how many things I still don't know about this game. Many of those things are bugs and how to handle them and those will be largely ironed out by the time the games reaches 1.0 but for example it was only yesterday when I found out there is something like a crafted suppressor and only because someone made a remark about it. Can you imagine how much there will be to learn for someone never having played the alpha and beta and just jump into the finished product? How do you think this will be handled by BI? Will there be a manual of survival guide or will they just let them swim and make them find out everything themselves or through the forum?

I was thinking about this today and we should have something like the MRE´s in the game. American MRE maybe at locations where NATO loot can be found and a Russian version in the military bases and such. Should be quite rare but offer a lot of food in exchange for a small amount of room in your inventory. Obviously you would have to have water for it.

Hackers....after 700+ hours I still have to meet my first one. Yes strange things sometimes happen but hackers, there are way less of them than some seem to think in my experience.

Well thanks to you you can solve it yourself....

Dayz SA experimental v 0.58. Rule #1 in DAYZ is to not get attached to your gear. #2 is probably to never assume you are alone and #3 should probably be to never go AFK, especially not on a busy server and in a high traffic area. I saw this player looting the tent camp west of Myshkino and it was clear to me he had at least two weapons, probably automatic, the weapon in his hands is not rendered but you can see he is holding one. With only a Mosin and a CR75 with one mag myself I did not want to chance to confront him face to face. After a while observing him I could see him standing still behind the window of the shed and I could not resist the temptation to ambush him. After flanking the shed there was still no activity so I decided to shoot and rob him. I admit it's not the most heroic types of kills but hey, Dayz is a dog eat dog game and I really wanted that high capacity vest and his weapon :) Note that I can not feel his pulse. After looting I hid his body and dumped the weapons in some bushes about 50 yards away. With hindsight I could have probably just robbed him and let him live but if he would have "awakened" there is a good chance I would have died myself.

You are right, like I said I am not that used to PVP and just wanted to eliminate the potential threat to get to his goodies ;)

Yeah, the whole situation was about 17 minutes long, 10 of which he was just standing in the shed. He should have at least not stand in front of the window and also have lied down, good chance I would have assumed he left the shed and I lost him because while waiting I also kept scanning the tent camp for other players so didn't observe the shed all the time. Would I have assumed he was gone I would have looted the camp and not go after his stuff. Edit: never thought about tying him up, damn, missed chance. Will remember that for next time :) Best of both worlds, I get to rob all his stuff and he gets to live. I am not that experienced at PVP because I usually avoid it.

Playing DAYZ SA Experimental 0.58. I had spawned as a female but wanted a male character, because the female breathing makes me nervous. At this particular spawn no easy ways to suicide, no loot or weapons and nothing high to jump from anywhere near so I first tried to drown myself which didn't work. While coming out of the water and thinking about other ways I hear a truck coming down the road, I make a quick decision and a quick sprint and throw myself under the wheels. I hope the experience wasn't too traumatic for the driver, I'm sure he didn't see that one coming...

I really like the idea of a very basic ingame tutorial to get you started and then the books you find with ways of crafting more "exotic" stuff. That way, as was said, the books have more meaning and maybe even end up being trade items or conversation pieces in the game. With persistence one might even become a librarian :) Can you see it? Five army tents in a row. One handling food, one handling crafting items, one about weapons, one about vehicles and one about Chernarus, navigation, general loot and sites. A trade item gives you the chance to read 1 volume, or maybe more if the item is special. :thumbsup:

What is your performance now? And what are your in-game settings? Keep in mind that the game itself is not optimized yet and most players have mediocre to bad performance in cities, even with high-end systems. Also, do a search and read up on the forum, performance has been discussed many many times.

That is nice idea!

Oh I always thought vanilla was the term used for a completed product, guess not :) Changed title.

Maybe you should have asked him to put an apple on his head?

This has been discussed before, many times, you could have picked any of these topics. But anyway, gamma is there for players who cannot adjust their monitors any further and they also deserve a nice image.
