Yo, should probably copy pasta this into suggestions forum, but there's been a few like it recently. Don't know about the LPG thing. The gas wants to find the point of weakness, then will flood out of that point, the cannisters are built specifically not to explode like a bomb for the most part. If they catch fire, i was taught that you're better off letting them burn off as the pressure keeps the flame out of the can, and there's not enough oxygen inside to allow for combustion and subsequent explosion. They can explosively decompress, but that's not quite the same thing. By the time enough gas has left to let in enough air, the pressure has died and the bottle will just cough and splutter. Someone recently posted a 'statement' from bi / someone that they weren't going to allow for booby traps, although the mod did have bear-traps. Makes me slightly :( at no booby traps into future, but then i'm pretty sure they also said no AK way back when... Also, not sure if you're hinting at something with your avatar's location, but that level was fucking impossible for me without using knuckles. Sonic/Tails i'd always get stuck in this one damn spot where you're trapped in a room with the spring board and could never build up the momentum to get high enough. Despite seeing other people on youtube finish it off I could never make it happen.

by the power of bill cosby's sweater. thank you sir i'll check this out. Should have known it would be an option, though i've never needed to turn it down in any other game (though things like quake are just little to the left stop little to the right stop).

bag of rice 2 slots 10 uses (only eat 2 dry otherwise stuffed) canteen 2 slots 5 uses and refills indefinitely. all you need. 4 slots to victory.

Believe there was one forum user that had a ban lifted due to mistake, forget name but i know the avatar ;) Keep at it man, it's possible they weren't hacking but i'm going to talk right out of my ass and say it's more probable that they were. The only way you'll get it lifted is by getting in contact with BE, so keep that up. They may have received your message though and are investigating but nothing done until you talk.

Some kid's just ran for 30minutes without seeing a soul? Builds up an appetite you know?

Axe>SKS>AKM+fn/Amphib this is my preferred progression. Sometimes i'll keep the SKS if i've got the PU :)

You're most likely being blurred by tree and bush leaves/grass blades interrupting your vision, and DayZ punishes you for this making your view blurry. May also because you're in shock from being hit / lost blood, or because you logged in with the blur. They've corrected it on log-in from what i can tell since 0.48, but do try pressing ESC>options>Video and that usually 'unfogs' your screen, that is if you're not clipping through a bush or grass on the ground. I believe the reason for this is because DayZ is modelling depth of field, and your vision is in line with the close object, not the background that you think you're actually looking at. OT: excellent read, OP. Don't play too much 1pp but did want to give it a try eventually. I prefer not to run in 1pp though because your view jigs and jags all over the place making it really hard to identify things, but doesn't strain my vision as much as in the mod. I'd say this is probably his biggest issue, that he was moving and it was raining meaning you blend a lot better. Sound is dampened and i'm guessing you were half decently clothed with your gorka top and what not. Then there's just the element of dirty pot luck where he didn't look at you for some time, then missed you when you ran past him. Darwin would be pleased.

It's a boy! You have my beans sir. Causing maximum pain to other people without a scratch on me, you can forget the chocolate and roses. Delving deep into suggestion territory, but you could always go the far end of the spectrum, and have a dead-man's switch. Pull-string attached to a pulley, and when you open your hands to 'surrender' or 'put down your weapon' the other party is rather displeased that they chose to rob you. Just don't go eating/climbing ladders/reloading/spending time alone. But i don't see them putting this in :P lest people complain DayZ becomes a 'terrorist simulator'. First death in SA was to a disinfectant bottle. It really doesn't help get rid of rotten zuchini, and despite the label no - it's not suitable for all surfaces.

yeah SKS only mounts PU scope, you may be confusing this one.

wow. nice tip. i'll need to check them out. i usually avoided them like the plague because i found nothing ever. Quite good to shoot people from though, but i guess now i've got to keep my eyes open.

i take it you mean the tall rows of narrow apartments, and not the big square grey multi-storey ghettos that have just about nothing in my experience, save for the occasional beans and alcohol.. Yeah, the townhouses are pretty good loot spots for civ gear, and occasionally i've found TTSKo stuff in them in elektro/cherno IMO the pubs/restaurants are the best

got a good laugh. Then i realised you shot indiana jones :'[

yeah i feel it would just be easier to kill all chars across server, so you should spawn in one of the fixed points. When server doesnt save your stuff you respawn anew, as with death, i see this being the easiest and most fair way

This is no different from farm-servers where non clansmen/donators get kicked, and the rest gear-up in peace, but if their message and actions are as blatant as you say, def get the name/IP. Doesn't affect me directly but may as well be duping, and if they come into other servers (which i'm guessing is the whole point in farming for gear...) The autokick on entering a grid may be a whitelist function, you donate/pay give your name and can only access grids with given name, and the host just searches for your name and kicks you otherwise, but i'd think they'd need some means of tracking your location to be able to do this as you allege. Sounds dubious.

Yes, they did. But Arma is a finished product... Also, love it when radicals start calling people out as minorities. Like a beagle - lots of bark for such a small dog. Screaming doesn't lend weight to your words hahaha. But don't let me discourage you from posting. 10 pages of gold friend.

Yeah, I'd expect private hives to be able to scale the zombie count, but this is just guessing. I'd say it would be both boring, and remove an element of tactical/strategic play. Not only are zombies a good indication of where people are moving to (if they are running they're after someone or a cow) and corpses indicate recent player activity in the area. What's more, is that Zombies are a hindrance to anyone trying to engage in, bypass, or flee from a pvp encounter. If you're taking your time to line up the shots or be quiet to sneak in and kill/watch someone, the zombie may agg on you and both distract you/alert them as well as hit you, blur your vision, knock you unconscious and otherwise make you decide to deal with your bleeding (speed up your shots) shoot the zombie and alert the guy for sure, or switch to a silenced/melee weapon and put yourself at risk. There's also been several times that i've done a hit and run (usually with melee) of a group of players, and while fading back from the encounter to lick my wounds i was swarmed by several zombies who wanted much of the same. They interrupt your bandaging and can wreck your shit when you really just want to be left alone so you can go back and crack the other fellow's skull. That said, if it can be done it will. And what will i listen to when i'm out in the wilderness? Green Mountain FM? no. i want my BREACHGHTHRHHRHGHHHHCSHHHHH!! NRGL NRGL NRGL NRGL spasms through the trees.

during 0.46 i was killing people for m4's and hiding them in bushes. :3 Just gave me an idea, gotta keep my ears tuned for that dinnerbell now!

Fk you Lockheed Martin! Where's my JSF? It's over budget and over production! ID DOESNT EVEN HAS THRUST VECTORING the PakFa is out already and looks 10 times better than this weapons platform Y U NO GIEV JSF YET They're not even developing the software systems yet. They're just putting BUTTONS IN THE COCKPIT that don't DO anything yet!!!!!!111eleven Who's the lead engineer? Sack this man! i want blooooooooooooooooood! warning: some sarcasm included. PEGI16.

Vybor Vandals: coming to a garage near you. I'll streak your car with my keys you bourgeois pigs! Embrace the stone age! one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us.

I think you've gone and cut the blue wire, sir. There's a big difference between carrying a grenade with the pin and tape on, and having a tensioned wire or something attached to your pack should someone open it while you run around with it on your back. People do run with grenades, just quietly (though i'll concede that they're usually on your person or in a suitable container, and not in a pack where other items may strip the tape and/or pull the pin by accident, leaving you with a conveniently sized viewing hole. If i carry a knife I don't hold the sharp bit, it's either in a case/wrap, or if in a pack i don't have the tip or edge pointing towards my back. I like my fingers/spine how they are. Yes, moving with a loaded weapon is rule number 2 on the naughty list. You'll notice though that the business end is never pointed at your character, and if you use imagination you could imagine that a safety is engaged. You probably shouldn't be running with a pitchfork, but i don't see how that's anywhere near having a rigged explosive in your pack. Carrying ammunition isn't particularly dangerous, although they have been sitting in the sun for god knows how long every time i find them. And though i wouldn't want a pony bottle of LPG in my bag you'd be surprised how difficult it is to penetrate or damage them, and despite hollywood's training for young kids they don't burst into flames if someone says boo. you're more likely to get high pressure injection injuries/cold burns from it 'exploding' into you if it gets shot, but i'd wager the bullet's got to go through you first for this kind of thing to happen. Yeah i know you're joking, and my poisoned food suggestion came with the notice that if you do this, you've wrecked the food for yourself which is counter productive. I get your easyness, and that it's a game but yeah, running around with rigged explosives and compromised safety in your backpack. Laughable. Emplaced traps/pits/alarms i can see however. May give more use to shovels and pliers.

Running around with a live explosive in your backpack? kay. I'd reccomend you poisoning your food, but then how do you eat it? could be good if you wanted to leave your pack behind somewhere and enter a town and needed to secure the pack, get your grenade and run out a wire or something, but from day to day i'd call you crazy if you had it live.

Well if it's a good diesel engine you can theoretically run it on a rather broad range of clarified oils. Linseed, sunflower, corn and even bean/soy... not that i want to be farming corn, boiling oil and straining it through several degrees of sieve. Would cut down your lifespan i'd expect, and busted ass abandoned vehicles may not like you very much for feeding it to them but hey. I've heard rumor of some trucks being run off crude... that shit would clog up your filters quicksmart but you'd get some grunt out of it for sure.

Yup and the improvised bow is like super rambo style ninja weapon. So well-honed that you've got to anticipate the arrow flying off to your left to zero effect within 5 meters.

really wouldn't mind some snares/beartraps though. or punji pits :D

Now that I think about it, was trying ot make an improvised backpack. I'm pretty sure cow hides are broken at the moment, but some crafting options would require imagination, browsing of wiki or patch notes to really understand. Everyone should be reading the patch notes too. This isn't as in-depth on the tweaking side as say, WoW or certain competitive shooters, but knowing how your game is changing from version to version is important. Still believe it should mostly be trial and error, but then elements like player interaction, tactics and behavior are mainly intuitive.
