Wrinkled Sack

Great first post, nice to read an experience that positive. I can echo it, I remember getting the DOOM 3.5" floppy demo in one of the early PC Gamer magazines LOL. How awesome was that, compared to the other crap that was out there at the time? Similarly with HalfLife, some games you always remember as groundbreaking - and it wasn't about the graphics, it was the GAMEPLAY. This game has scared me half to to death more times than I can count, made me ashamed of myself, made my heart pound so hard I thought it would explode, given me an opportunity to feel great about being altruistic, and provided me enough justifiable rage to spawn and re-gear multiple times to track down and kill some real assholes. To all the people who say it's "boring", I'd say you're probably describing yourselves and your play style more than anything. It's truly groundbreaking gameplay, with a huge potential for real emotional connection. I hope it attains the apogee of gaming greatness I think it has the potential for.

So awesome... :D have beans.

I think it would be cool to be able to change from a woodland camo-type outfit to something a little more urban for city work. At least be able to carry 2 outfits in one slot would be helpful I think.

If you read the OP, you'll notice I did mention a duration of MAYBE 5 minutes... or do you only play 15 minutes at a time? Dayz Origins gives you the option to sleep and recover health - it works fine, albeit for a duration of only 45 seconds or so. I think I'd have the patience to wait it out for the reward of a healthy, refreshed character. Maybe you're lacking that virtue. COD awaits...

...and it should be based on hours played, not "world time". Obviously you couldn't make players stay asleep for hours on end, but maybe 5 minutes? There should be a real health benefit to sleeping (and as a corollary a health detriment for not sleeping). Maybe your vision gets blurry and you slow down, movement becomes sluggish... I think it would add an interesting twist, having to hunt for a safe place to crash for a few zzz's. What say you?

This happens every time I join a server after logging out inside a building. I can see through the walls, and the loot is floating in space. Only lasts for a second or two, but it's a regular thing afaik.

Yes. Would you rather have 5 extra slots, or stand a far better chance of not being seen by a-hole bandits?

Insert "We got a badass here" meme. I read the disclaimer, I accept the fact the game is incomplete. I won't bother embarrassing myself with petulant rants.

I have a similar issue: was walking through Elektro, heard a loud bang, now I have a black screen with white writing on it. Can somebody help me troubleshoot this phenomenon? :P

Compasses are very common in firehouses, I've seen 3 on one set of shelves before. I have a tough time getting my bearings without one... one of the first things I hunt down.

Camo Mosin FTW!

Or go where people don't normally go. You can run to the north end of the map in 30 minutes, chances are good you can find loot up there.

Sporting a tactical vest seems to make a big difference. I've been hit multiple times with little effect.

REALLY?? Damn, I guess that's the kind of thing you miss when always playing solo.

I like to alternate, one serious life with one that's just ridiculous. Keeps it fresh, especially if my character has been in "serious" mode for dayz and dayz and dayz...
