hunting/fireplaces etc. are set for the first quarter of 2014 so in theory they could, and again I say COULD make us wait until the end of april.. since that is technically the first quarter of 2014. people have been saying so much things on this topic the last month.. it actually surprises me this topic wasnt locked or moved.. so they start off fresh like they used to when rocket was still a bit more active on the forum (from what I can remember) frequent updates. I know their doing a really big bunch now.. and the upcoming updates are really hard to program etc. etc. but still I think it takes a long time to see some new progress on stable. they have alot on their mind.. but in my honest opinion.. they should run this update this week at max.. no further delays and then focus on the zombie collision issue thats been bugging the living hell out of every player since the mod.

the idea is good, but spears in dayz? isnt that a bit.. ya know.. meh.. medieval the point is good.. kinda like rambo uses in his first movie to kill a bore from a tree by jumping down on it impaling it on his knife/spear but the arrow crafting and bow making would be a good upkeep for players.. since crossbow bolts will become scarce in a post apoc. world since everyone wants them and there are no new one's produced since the factories shut down. being able to craft your own arrows from sticks/branches would add something significant to dayz and easy to re-produce since there are millions of trees in dayz ;)

hello, i have a question, our community has purchased a new server, but I am unable to join or even locate the server in the serverlist menu. if I try to join by 'remote login' it just puts me back to serverlist showing a blank/empty list non of our other community members have this issue. does any of you experience the same issue? if so? how to undo/solve this problem? thank you in advance, tigermonk

our server IP has changed. Im now able to join the server again.. the problem was vlayer related for some reason. thanks anyways for the help this is a solved topic ;)

I had a topic discussing inprov. bow and crafting arrows.. but now that you mention this.. its awesome! really good option to implement in dayz if you ask me.. why look for a stove when you can do a make-shift one on the fly.. this works in a pinch! nice one man!

hello, I have a suggestion regarding DayZ, I don't know if this is the right topic section to post these but anyways. In de DayZ Mod you had the option to cut down trees for logs etc. to build fireplaces in the standalone there are non of these options. millions of trees an axe and no possible interaction between the two, making trees rather static and useless at this point. with the new hunting/survival/campfire/cooking update around the corner, I had some questions regarding the two subjects. question one: when will we be able to cut down trees for wood to use in fireplaces/barricading/crafting question two: if the ability is finally there to do those things. are we going to be able to craft stuff like arrows? crafting arrows example: 1. you cut down a tree, it gives you 4 pieces of wood 2. you have a bayonet/hunting knife/kitchen knife 3. you drag the knife over the logs, to get the option 'turn into sticks' 4 once you have sticks, you can drag the knife over them to make sharp sticks/arrows 5. collect feathers/hair etc. to attach to the pointed stick 6. you have crafted 4 arrows from one log. Crafting a Bow: 1. you get 1 stick of a PVC tube 2. you find a piece of rope/cord 3. drag the rope over the PVC pipe/stick 4. craft a Improv. bow Kinda like the burlap sack with rope/sticks to make a Improv. backpack does this make any sense? or is it to complicated to 'build/program' I think it would be an awesome option to give players the chance to make their own weapons/ammo. so players become less dependent on 'looking for 3 arrows in cherno possibly laying on the first and tenth floor of the office building (as an example) it would increase the flow in the game making it easier to get low grade ammo/weapons since the zombies will be growing in numbers and getting stronger along the way. this way spawning alot of guns, isnt that much of a necessity and players are still able to 'shoot' others and zombies on sight. let me know what you think people!! greetings, -NLE- Tigermonk

thats my point. I know canned food is everywhere from chernogorsk to svetlojarsk but as this topic states: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/181820-go-to-the-forest-of-trees/ people tend to wander around the coast 90% of the time.. since they can't do anything real logic in the wilderness.. since you can't chop down trees to keep warm etc. etc. or build anything so adding these kind of things will hel spread the people along the map instead of one big shoot out at cherno office/school or ballota airstrip

small update: when my friends invite me to play along on the server, it says 'game: dayz game status: unavailable. when I join it quickly enough I get stuck on 'wait for host' and it remains stuck there with a hour glass same as windows. like the game is crashing. but its working just fine. I see wait for host, but it won't boot through to the server menu. anyone have an Idea how/why?

yes thats active, talking to the admin atm. he posted a ticket to vilayer how and why it doesnt work. maybe you could join our teamspeak for a moment. so we could talk instead of type. thats a bit easier and faster. ts.nlelite.nl for those who wish to try and help.

if there's an update coming, it will be some small tweaks, otherwise *in my logic* they would post it on either twitter/tumblr or create a new topic saying update+update log. but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they come up with.. I hope they fix the hunting/cooking soon so I can play again ;) then atleast I'll have something useful to do instead of wandering around svetlojarsk gathering bags of rice and cans of cola

I tryed connecting to other servers. works perfectly no time outs or connection drops what so ever.. its just our server that has this problem. and doesnt want to be found :S my filter settings are almost non. the only filter I use is NL to filter out NL servers since our server is called Dayz NL Elite from what I hear the founder tell me. non of our other community members have this problem. its just me. but I've tryed most of your suggestions already so im running out of options. since our last server *the one we had before this one* worked perfectly. I don't see why this one shouldnt act the same since its the same host and practically the same server so to speak.

I didnt have issues with our other server.. and Im able to join other servers without problem. already tryed that, I did not close any ports or change anything in my router/modem settings so that should be fine

I've asked my friend to contact vilayer already.. and sorry for posting it in the wrong section ;) got to me when I posted it, I was like 'hmmm wrong section.. hmmfff' and how can I provide details? im unable to find the server in the serverlist. or connect to it any other way *remote connect etc.* Im unable to join my friends if their playing on the server. all other servers I join are working just fine.. just our new server has this problem. so I'll ask him to send a support ticket to vilayer.. maybe they know what the problem is. I can't provide much details other then its not loading when I join via steam *shows loading screen/image and thats about it. if I try to connect through remote, I type in the IP adress provided (is correct since everyone else is using it) same with the port. I'll post the IP adress here so you can check it out yourself maybe you know something I don't boneboys IP Adress: 217.23.9.123 port: 2402 greetz, tigermonk

our server isnt run from a dedicated pc. its hosted on a vlayer server system so thats not the problem.

my friend rents the server from a host *vlayer I think* the server has been up for atleast 2 days so thats why I wonder if anyone else has this problem. regarding the 'am I the only one who can find it' yes I am if you read my post carefully you'll see the following line: 'non of our other community members have this issue', so its just me who has this problem I think I reinstalled steam/dayz/reset my router and Im not blocked/banned from our server in case that thought pops into your mind. so thats why I posted this question here because Im out of options here and don't know what else I could do to make the server show up. remotely typing in the IP adress and port (both are correct as our community founder is the one who has full access to the server verified!) still gets me nowhere but a blank screen and joining them via steam doesnt help either.

I think the necklace/dogtag is a good idea but only after you've spend some time with the person or get up close *within 5 feet of them* then you should be able to detect *not see* something different on him.. maybe attitude change or indeed a dogtag around his neck indicating he killed players. but still a 'hero' can get that aswell its only after you've killed the player or seen the dog tags (inspect dogtag) that you can see if they killed bandits/fresh spawns/normal survivors via some sort of ID system *example fresh spawns are a dot survivors are a square, bandits are a triangle* that way you can't detect anything other then 'this is not a fresh spawn since they don't get the tags' plus the dogtag says something about the person you killed/taken the dog tag from *blood group/name/gender*

and this is EXACTLY why people become hostile in the first place. you can't take a player hostage and make them do stuff for you. matter of fact. you wouldnt do that in real life would you? if someone takes you hostage and tells you to do stuff or they'll shoot you.. well you better bring out a full metal jacket then because I won't do your laundry. thinking people will 'help' you if you force them to.. is just ignorant. especially fresh spawns.. ohh I don't have anything and you command me to 'help' you.. just shoot me now and I'll respawn in svetlojarsk instead of electro or balota. just saying DoctorBadSign thats not the way to go. you're either friendly or your not. simple as that. in your case judging by your manner of typing and your personal text your far from 'friendly'

hello, my name is Tigermonk, i've been playing dayz since the mod, with a group of friends I run a community called -NLE- (NL Elite) my main role in the community of dayz has been hunter/gatherer and medic. in the dayz mod I mostly played as field medic and support trooper while out scavenging for guns, food or other supplies our clan is friendly and will help those in need. in some cases we shoot on sight, but thats as you all know in the rare case some random person we don't know runs up to us yelling friendly while sporting a m4 or a .22 we're more likely to help others then to shoot them on sight because thats how humans react in the real world around us. want any more info? just send me a PM or look up in the recruitment section of this forum for our teamspeak and in the future (when the prices go down a bit) our new server adress. regard, Tigermonk/Tango Mike
