too-easy

You need to activate the mine. Not sure what can cause the mine to explode when activating it. I activated several mines and then came a countdown after which you had to stay away from the mine if you didn't want to die. Once it blew me up, too, when I activated one. Maybe it was damaged. Unfortunately, I didn't check it.

True....true.

I seldom get shot at in real life. ;)

I meant the way you are playing, 8bit_Survivor, is already role playing. You don't need rules other people make. You make your own rules and limitation and therefore the game more interesting. I don't play on those "rp servers" either.

Yup. Roleplaying is a great way to have fun. When I play alone I like to be a farmer and only wear a bow and maybe a pistol for protection/hunting.

I'm sure many people will come back this Wednesday. The game is far from finished. Of course there "is something missing".

I only said how it was before. In the early days of DayZ SA. People were crawling for ages hoping to find help or a quick death. Didn't say anything about whether this would make sense or not. (It obviously didn't make sense. Still the devs made the decision to torture us like that for quite a while. Maybe you weren't on board at that time.)

The only way to find out what the majority of players wants would be to force them to vote the next time they start DayZ. Without a vote they wouldn't be able to play. I am pretty sure about what the result would be. But game development is not a democratic process. The developers decide, not the community. A poll where only estimated 0.001% of total players leave a vote is not really representative.

This happens , too, when you live very far apart. My mate lives over 14 flight hours away from me, and when his ping to the server is much higher than mine he always falls back behind me. Strangly, he still doesn't seem to be affected by this in combat situations.

A poll in a forum shows what all the players think? lol34 voted for it. How many people play the game? I am happy that the people in this forum won't make the decision. Most seem to think that their own oppinion is the only truth and that they know ecactly why soneone else likes to play 3pp. Oh and all 3pp players are noobs and cheaters anyways. Let's just ban them all. Silly noobs.

I think I got poisoned with disinfectant today. Someone I met gave me something to drink and powdered milk. Shortly after drinking and eating I had a weird taste in my mouth. (Server restarted then so the guy was gone.) After restart I went to a water pump to make me throw up. Got hit by a zombie there which made my screen black and white (or is this caused by throwing up?). Sick status went away but felt nausea soon. So I took antibiotika (only thing I head) and I didnt feel sick/nausea anymore. Was hydrated and no other status. But when I thought that I got away, I fell unconcious and never woke up again. Screen was really completely black and white, so I was on extremely low blood. Do you think this came from food mixed with disinfectant, or was it cholera? I don't think it was cholera actually, as the antibiotika should have helped me then?! Or could it be that I was somehow still bleeding but it didn't show due to a bug? Still it was kind of fun. Never died this way, and if this guy really poisoned me, then he did a great job!

I remember the old days where only morphine could fix broken legs. Or when sticks were normal spawning items and couldn't be crafted. Fun times. :D Now it is almost too easy (:p) to fix broken bones as long as you have bandages, rags or duct tape.

I would feel neutral about it, if(!) I get my motion sickness under control. I don't suffer from it in all 1st person games. No idea why some games make me sick (like Half Life 2 and lately DayZ) and other games don't (like Crysis games, Far Cry, DayZ at the beginning and many many more). I do hope that Oculus Rift won't make me sick. ^^

True. But maybe he didn't see another guy in a bush or on a hill in a forest nearby scanning for rooftop snipers. DayZ is a game with many variables. Anything can happen and peaking is just one of the variables atm. As I said above my main issue with 1pp only has nothing to do with peaking. If the new angle can make the "peaking haters" happy, then all the better.

It's the first time I've heard about a change of the camera angle. I just hope that 3pp stays (maybe in a changed form), because I suffer from motion sickness in 1pp. I am one of those people who don't really care about the peaking. I understand why some say it's unfair, because the guy lying on a roof has a great advantage as he can see without being seen. But he needs to get up to shoot and is an easy target then, because he is easy to be spotted then and has no cover while he stands for his shot. Still, I don't mind if I get killed by a peaker. Just happens. And I use it, too, depending on the situation. Sue me!

Still many people believe what is said in the server name. I joined a server which stated that there would be more loot in Elektro. It turned out to be "true" because all those fools went there in hope for more loot and their corpses (and their stuff) were everywhere. Was a great sight. :D

Are you near a forest? Crawl to it. In a forest look at the ground and you get the option "search for kindling". Your hands must be empty. Search until you find a stick and make your splint. Or if there is a stony area you can search for stones and craft an improvised knife. Cut down a bush with the knife to get sticks.

Hehe. I don't just dislike the movements, I literally get sick of it. It wasn't like this from the beginning, but maybe they changed a few things and then one day when I played on a 1pp server, i had to stop after 10 minutes to prevent throwing up. I deactivated the head bobbing, but that didn't help, so I will try the FOV slider.

Thanks man. I will try and play around with the FOV slider. Hope I can fix it.

I used to like both, but the last time I played on a 1pp server I got motion sickness, even though I turned the head bobbing off. I had this problem in other (not all) games, too. So the 3rd person servers are good for people like me.

I remember I read somewhere that it would be on the upcoming Wednesday. But since I don't know where, don't take it as a fact. ;)

I double tab W for sprinting.

Problem is that it's really difficult to tell who is bad and who is good. For example: one day I help people the next day I kill everbody I see. Or if you read my threat "Disinfectant 100% deadly?" you will find out that some people are playing very smart. Difficult to know who's a bandit. I just become a murderer before a wipe. ;)

I have to add that I usually don't trust random players but he played me well (if he did it on purpose). I met him because I followed the sound of some sporter shots. When I came there he was standing over a corpse. I almost killed him then, but he claimed that the other guy attacked him with an axe. Since this happens all the time and he kept his weapon on his back I started to trust him. And not only this. He ate and drank at a well in front of me, so I had plenty opportunities to kill him. My pistol was in my hand all the time. Because of his trust I trusted him, too, and paid with my life. :D I only wish I had checked his name. I will definitely try to do this to someone, too. Was fun!

Compasses. Everywhere.
