I tend to be a trusting fool. I helped out a new spawn as he was being attacked by 3 zeds and he only had a crowbar, so I took care of them with my axe. After I was left bleeding, but I asked this dude if he needed anything, (I had a backback with a ton of food and a magnum + mosin and a bit of ammo) he said that I needed to heal, and as it happened I had no rags or bandages, so he put down a rag on the floor. I took it and started to use the rag, as I did this he crowbarred my head, then I was dead.

I was walking through Berezino with my gun on my back (I am not hostile), then some guy rounded a corner and just pulled his gun and starting saying "stop", "hands up" etc, then out of no where this fresh spawn came up behind him with pitchfork and started to lash at him. Was so funny. In the end I killed them both, they started to have a little fight, so I pulled out my AK and just finished them off.

I'd love to see a US small towns / farming area, complete with gas station. Every zombie film has a gas station in it (which usually blows up), so DayZ USA map needs gas stations. A ruined New York would be amazing though, however I can imagine that the resources and time needed to create such a map would be huge.

Again, its because the fog is 1 colour which is set at a given time, but the clouds and skybox are many varying colours and brightness. So you will get a clash and it won't always look correct.

Just wondered on the possibility of new maps in the future and whether they could be delivered by modders or if they would have to be DLC? I think it would be cool to see a London or USA map, maybe New York City, though the work there would be massive for all the buildings etc. Cheers, Ben.

I keep seeming to join servers that within 10 minutes have either crashed or restarted. I start walking then before I know it, I get the dreaded "no message received" warning. The worst one was I had come across two dead bandits, fully geared. I was trying to loot some of their gear, then bam, server crashed.

Its the same in my game bud. See image here; Fog stays the same colour, clouds change colour, so at some points the horizon may blend well, at others it will stick out like a sore thumb.

I personally experienced a bit of a performance nosedive with this patch. FPS in towns now is pretty desperate. I also got stuck in a death loop. I logged in to my character only to be greeted with a "you are dead" screen. So I clicked respawn, then when the timer clicked down, all I saw was "you are dead" again. Did this a few times, then just quit the server.

I think its because the fog is a standard colour, and its just pot luck whether the sky happens to match it at any given time. When it rains for example, the clouds go much darker, but the fog stays the same colour, so it stands out then as well. The fog needs to change colour with the colour of the sky.

Its always funny when you spot a new spawn and you can tell he is a bandit that has just been killed by the way they act. They always tell you to go away, or don't talk at all. They are nearly always quite rude.

I met with a moderately kitted out chap the other day. He had a rifle but no ammo it would seem. He had an axe. Anyway, so after a few minutes chat we get attacked by zeds, during the attack he starts swinging at me, then chasing me, now to him it looked like I was a fresh spawn, however the first firehouse I looted, I found a magnum and 20 bullets. Anyway, so I whipped out the magnum mid run, then shot his ass. He bled a lot. Then I began chasing him, second shot broke his legs, then zeds started to finish him off.

I have spotted a couple of issues since 0.49. The shadows appear broken and when indoors there are white flashes that appear. Video attached.

Ah ok, thanks.

I often see players walking around who's legs are stationary and their arms are stuck in some kind of movement animation. What's the deal with this exactly, is it a glitch is it a hack? I only ask because today I met someone who was in this exact same state after a few words, he shot me, but I obviously never saw the gun in his hands (his gun was on his back) so I didn't see the shot coming...

I would like to see more scattered blood and generally more visual (and maybe aural) signs of a apocalyptic world. Burning cars, burning buildings, boarded up windows etc.

They stil glitch through walls and doors. Saw it last night on the new 0.49 build. I was then getting killed by a zombie who was hitting me whilst I was in a building and he was outside... :/ I kept moving about, but he kept hitting me, then I ran out the building, then this "invisible" zed followed me around town, smacking the hell out of me, then I died.

I spawned on three occasions last night, I died 3 times from zombie attacks. They seem quicker, or maybe its that the run speed has been slowed down...?

I personally found that performance was worse after the 0.49 patch, especially in big towns. Never really had an issue before, but it was bordering on a slideshow when I tried it last night. Out in the sticks its all nice a smooth, but in towns, man, its bad.

I was being hit by a zombie that was in a totally different room to me. He hit me maybe 5 or 6 times over the space of about 15- 20 seconds, then I opened the door and saw him outside in the corridor attacking what seemed like thin air, but when he attacked I got hit, despite him being 10 feet from me. It appears as though it's an invisible zombie, which has happened to me before, it chased me around the map like a ghost.

I'd like the ability to mod the vanilla game, things like sounds etc.

I would prefer far more zombies, but all of them have quite poor eyesight. It would create quite tense moments walking through a town, having to pick your way through them. I'd say a max sight range of maybe 30-50 metres. I'd also say that if you have ran around several corners and are being chased by a zombie, they shouldn't be able to lock on and track your every move. If you go into a building say, they shouldn't follow you in, unless they actually see you enter.

Lots of bandits around lately in Berezino especially. I have found 2 hacked M4 mags (on two separate occasions) now whilst doing my rounds. Makes you wonder just how common this is with bandits. Are all bandits hackers? Nope I don't think so, but I'm willing to bet that all hackers are bandits.

Cannon. Rocket Launcher. Flame Thrower. Minigun

I got attacked by an invisible zombie the other day. I had to leave the server in order to "solve" this issue.

I'd like to see at least 60 players, but if 80 could be accommodated that would be fantastic.
