I've found several green smoke grenades, at NATO crash sites and in barracks.

I really get KoS'd alot in recent time. In non-military areas, too. Kinda ruins the fun of exp currently when everybody is just hunting.

There was a patch not too long ago where zombies would outrun players and also zombies spawned near you whenever you fired a shot. That was kinda comical. I don't think infected should be faster, but every military base should be populated by a lot of "military" infected with plate carriers (extensive protection) and ballistic helmets. You guys just don't seem to remember the days where shooting in a large city equaled instant DEATH because zombies were just more plentiful. Once we get more Zs, the problem will fix itself.

I absolutely love that you focus on weapon-handling aswell. Jamming is a feature I'd really like to see. Will we see advanced weapons control like some brilliant poster on here made a picture about? We already have manual bolt-handling, but I would love to have a safety in DayZ as it makes sense, I've had a lot of negligent discharges in DayZ.

any1 wanna team up? Anyone still surviving? :P Im in Lopatino.

Much love (and hate) to the guys that killed me and a buddy yesterday at Severograd. I have no idea how you spotted us or rather my friend that quick, but that penetration kill through the house was amazing! You are a good shot. my ballistic research concludes that a 7,62x51 Bullet fired from a Mosin will still kill you after passing through 2 walls and even if you're wearing a ballistic helmet^^

one word: zeroing

damn I get killed often on sight. 2 times at the small military base at severograd, if any of you is reading this then fffuuuuuu

Oops, didn't mean to quote. Can't seem to edit it. Wanted to say that I really hope the loot distribution is "experimental" aswell. :P I played for about an hour and now I am fully kitted, got an AK-101 with PSO-1, 120 rounds and an M4 with ACOG, also full US camo.

Sorry to hear that, it's always frustrating to have a gamebreaking bug only you or a handful of people have. Hope it gets fixed. So the servers are live again it seems?

Oh wow sweetheart, no need to get all insulted and stuff. I just said I'd like less foodspawns. >.< I have never ever starved to death in this game, not in any patch, and I'm playing this game since it hit early access. Nobody I know that plays DayZ nor anyone I've ever played with ever starved to death. So I guess I just don't see the issue. At EVERY spawn point there are apple trees nearby, if you are somehow unable to gather apples from them to supply you on the route you're taking then starving is a perfectly acceptable result of this. Not to mention the hundred other ways to get food on the coast. Nobody dies after a Kilometer of running, in fact, in DayZ you run a whole lot faster than in real-life and also travel a LOT more distance than you'd imagine, so who the fuck does not know what he's spouting? if reducing the food-spawn rate equals getting rid of such passive-aggressive kiddies like you then I'm even more in favor of it.

Indeed, but I hear the devs are working on integrating more survival aspects to the game, so maybe we will even see broken wells. Puryfing water with boiling is currently even impossible I think, u need to use the purification tablets (which should be rare as fuck, would be awesome to see such an essential item as a rare trading good) But that only works if there is not a well every 500 metres.

Are you kidding me? The patch where wells stopped working and no food/water was to be found was one of the best patches DayZ ever received. Shit was fucking fun, and really challenging to survive. I'd love to see foodspawns decrease and at least half the wells on the map should randomly (dynamic event) be empty. There are tons of ways to get food and water in this game, yet the only method players use for getting food is looting and the only method they use for getting water is running to wells.

aww shit, wanted to start another game today. Just stopped playing exp 2 days ago or so because I felt so bad about KoSing so many people on the eastern airfield but fuck me they scared the living hell out of me.

Thanks for understanding the initial frustration, after reading Hicks statement I kinda cooled off a bit.

It's not even about me not being able to play, it's about being two-faced in ways of communicating with the community as of late. I've been here since the very beginning and I'm sure you're long enough here that you noticed something about the communication between community and devs has changed. The community built this game, it was a fucking mod not so long ago, and now they're fucking handing out servers to some homoerotic youtubers while experimental is practically unplayable for most of the "normal" people who are not shilling the game on youtube. I hope you get what I mean, I'm satisfied with the process of the development, but not so satisfied with the decisions that have been made.

I can't believe youtubers get a own server while I and many others can't play at all. 0.60 is broken for me, I can not join a single server nor does anything else work, in fact. And I've not tried it only one time or something. I sat hours in front of the "connection failed" screen. I play this shit since the mod and I've always been supportive but fuck this shit and fuck the devs.

Sounds like the game is dead.

I have to agree with you. Of course, encounters and battles are exciting, no doubt about that. Especially with the ballistics (and soon, hopefully) advanced weapon handling. But the most intriguing factor for me was always getting to "know" Chernarus, the places, find a "home", meet interesting people, creepy stuff (Green Mountain, etc.) The people who play DayZ to explicitly scare other players or make something uncommon happen are doing gods work, so to say. KoS might be fun for a while, but I could have never spent this much time in the game without the world being simply so beautiful, with lots of unique spots and simply weird shit happening all the time. I once encountered a weird russian person on a server, then I heard his screams and he was suddenly gone. I ran up north, up to an hour later I suddenly come across a SOVIET GRAVE in the middle of some woods where I've never been and there is absolutely nothing around. I am absolutely convinced it was the grave of Sergej the weird russian and I encountered a ghost in DayZ. :P

The lack of communication from the devs since 0.59 hit kinda sucks

Thanks for the great work!!! Please include proper (loud) thunder and weather sounds in 0.60

>somebody watches as you play dayz >the weird fence opening/smashing sound appears >your buddy is like "HOLY FUCK WHAT WAS THAT" >you try to explain that it is some weird standard sound that occurs every 10 mins or so when you´re in a town >makes no sense at all ------ >spend half a month looking for AK101 >spend 2 months looking for SVD >take scope off SVD >put it on AK101 >ditch shitty SVD >get shot the same day IT WAS WORTH IT!

not being able to fucking flip a truck is immersion breaking? casual

I dont like base building. We should be able to fortify the existing structures within chernarus, would be a hell of a lot more atmospheric. Some user here made a big post about it sometime, it was a great read. I dont want this to become rust 2.0 or H1z1 (not that I played any of those shit games lol) where every meter there is a fucking player base
