You could be right there but normally when I am bleeding a lot it's the pen first and then the bandage immediately after. Cheers!

Thanks for the comment but are you aware of the balance between blood loss and shock damage? When shock damage exceeds your remaining blood volume you go unconscious. When you get shot you suffer Blood loss, Health Loss, and Shock damage. since blood loss is continuous until you bandage. There is a chance that your blood volume will drop below 500 (1/10) and you will go unconscious or your shock damage will exceed your blood volume and you will go unconscious. in either case you are dead if you go unconscious while bleeding. All the Epinephrine pen does is reset you shock damage to zero hence you have removed one cause of going unconscious and kicking the bucket because of Blood loss. To help you out

Something similar happened to me. I was shot and went unconscious and woke up bleeding and the screen had lost most of its color. I bandaged, jammed an epi-pen, drank two liters of water, and ate two cans of sardines. A guy in a ghillie suit sauntered by Looking for my partner that had also been hit. I stood and let the guy have both barrels of my shotgun at about thirty yards. The dude dropped and I finished him with my Axe. I'll chalk it up to blind luck.

My most hated death was the time I was traveling across country from the NWAF to Zelenogorsk and I decided to check out a house in a remote location for a can of food. I approached as quietly as possible looked into some windows I saw nothing untoward so I entered with my weapon raised to check the corners but the instant I crossed the threshold Bang!!! You Are Dead I never saw my assailant. I should also mention that when I logged on there were 14/30 people on a 1st person server but by the time I entered the death house the count was 3/30 ..what are the odds??

The 7.62mm x 39mm cartridge (123 grain slug 2400fps) is packing about1,600 foot pound of energy at the muzzle while the 5.56mm x 45mm (62 grain slug 3100fps) generates1,300 foot pounds at the muzzle. Hence the AR-15 & STYER has 82% of the Muzzle energy that the AKM has. at the muzzle. Neither Cartridge Kicks Like a Horse and yet the AKMs sights ARE displaced more than the AR-15s or Styer Aug but this is because the AK & AKM do not have a true straight line design. and the 7.62 x 39 loses velocity (and power) faster than the 5.56 x 45 and this is because the 5.56 x 45 SS109 (Boat tail slug) has a ballistic coefficient of 0.335 while the 7.62mm x 39's (123 grain flat base slug) has a ballistic coefficient of 0.310. At 500 yards the 5.56mm x 45mm Nato and the 7.62 x 39mm have almost exactly the same energy.

I hustle around the map endlessly hunting for ammo game animals, ammo, ammo and more ammo; I like having plenty of ammo. I prefer killing zombies from as far away as possible I love watching them flop over.Just hunker down on a hillside behind some brush overlooking a target rich area with the sun at your back and start searching and shooting with your scoped weapon of choice. Screw tangling with multiple zombies with an Ax I do that when I have no other choice. Close range zombies deserve a sawed off shotgun or .45 But there can be no doubt that the zombies should hit harder than to do now.

I feel the same way today I had a good little shoot First I traveled from Severograd to Novodimitrovsk and encountered a good number of zombies after searching the tower in Novo and finding a wonderful selection of fire helmets and Axes I headed South on the coast road to Solnichniy and then made my way west. On the route I shot about 35 zombies. And before I forget I did get beat up a bit in Novodimitrovsk when I got jumped by three zombies and after dispatching those I got hit by a crew of three more zeds that got in a few licks before I shot them. in any case moving through the larger cities gives you more action but I sure miss those sneaky zombies in the small towns and villages

I posed the same question a week ago in this forum and it was deemed to be a useless and meaningless post and the entire thread was shit-canned even though only one response was negative. What I get is that players DO want to see more zombies or infected but hey its not my call. But it seems to me that a world with zombies, wild dogs, wolves, bears, aggressive hogs, and crazy deer in rutting season and KoS psychos is a full spectrum survival game. And I don't think its a secret but the DayZ world was created by Bio weapons. Apparently the germs greased most of the population quickly and converted a large number into mindless infected cannibals that prey on the uninfected. the smallest group is the uninfected or immune humans. It seems to me that Zombies were intended to be more than a minor nuisance or annoyance.

I would be more interested in digging up and looting graves breaking into tombs and scavenging body dumps. But of course the loot you get from a body dump should need to be cleaned with disinfectant or you could risk a serious infection. And what about using a grave to hide a gunny sack full of food, ammo and odds and ends on persistent servers. I have found too many tents in the woods to think that a tent is even remotely a secure location.

Its always good to check your inventory when you put a weapon away especially if you have a number of weapons My weapons Model 70 stored on shoulder (hot key 1) Ak74 SU stored inside mountain pack (hot key2) FNX45 stored in Field Jacket (hot key3) As an example If you have the Ak74SU out and you store it in your pack and your pack is otherwise full and you start looting that something that you looted could end up in the space you have reserved for the Ak74SU. . When you decide to stow the Ak74SU it will end up on the ground. Remember two objects can not occupy the same space at the same time Always be mindful of how many slots you have open so you won't be trading a can of beans for a MP5 or AK74SU. a good plan is to put your weapons away before you loot

Being well Energized, Hydrated and Healthy(light green) makes you resist damage a bit better and if your not Energized and Hydrated you won't heal. When possible I eat and drink until my stomach is completely full.'stuffed' is a good condition. Just don't eat or drink after you get the stuffed message or you might blow chunks wait until you are no longer stuffed.

What a great and meaningful thread this is. I shoot at moving trucks just to give my Lead Angle Sensor and Line Of Sight System a work out :rolleyes: Have some Beans OP :beans:

I have a pretty good computer with a 6 core processor ((3.5 Ghz)), 16 gigs of ram, a fine graphics card and a 1 TB hard drive. DayZ Locks up all the time especially when I am moving (running) but its pretty random.however when it happens there just happens to be a hell of a lot of HDD activity When the HDD activity settles down the game continues normally except you will have moved quite a distance in the direction you were going prior to the lock up (and yes my HDD is defraged).. It has been suggested that DayZ is not optimized for multi core processors. Perhaps installing DayZ on a 256 gig SSD is the ticket. Or perhaps I should do nothing since the problem is an irritation and not a killer.Then again it may be a network problem WTFK (????????) SSD performance boost http://dayzintel.com/dayz-guides/dayz-standalone-performance-guide#ssd

I would imagine that Chernarus has its share of Eurasian wolves and plenty of wild dogs. Those critters are active at night and are really more interested in what you are packing than you. A pack full of deer steaks would be a temptation that a pack of starving wild dogs might not be able to resist. The wolves however could very well be after you more often than not. I if you are alone fighting off a six pack of wolves or wild dogs could quite easily punch your ticket back to the coast and a bear attack might also be centered on your food but one swat from a 400 to 800 pound Eurasian brown bear and you will be broken or knocked out and be on your way back to the coast in short order. I am sure we will see wolves and bears soon. And it comes to mind that wild hogs can be aggressive and knock you on your ass when surprised or molested More Zombies, Aggressive, wolves, wild dogs Bears, and wild hogs should provide plenty of stimulation I'm looking forward to their arrival.

Have some beans :beans: I like a guy hat sticks to his guns hombre. But I do want more Zombies. The respondents to this meaningless thread have been for the most part positive and some have been downright informative. However with that said I think we all understand that the state of the game is constantly changing for the better. Just a few minutes ago checked out Solnichniv and found a good number of reasonably aggressive Zombies to kill. They make such good Model 70 targets from a distance that I can't resist their face planting charms. Now that's what I call a well crafted and informative post! Thanks for sharing that info bro :thumbsup: . I am sure the Devs will stop the Zombies from taking a bigger bite out of server resources than they deserve bro. Have some beans :beans: (I wish I could offer a pristine can of peaces but beans will have to do) Note: Its going to be swell when Zombies have the ability to infect players if they draw blood from that player. A world where a run of Tetracycline and Antiseptics is all that stands between you and the grave.is bound to be more interesting. It would also be nice to have some metal canteens that can be put directly on a fire or stove to boil water so that you can kill off whatever diseases might be swimming around in pond water.

And pointless commentary it seems. grunt..frap...plop!!!

Ever since the latest patch there has been a shortage of Zombies in villages and small towns and adjacent areas. I know they intended to redistribute Zombies and put the bulk of them in larger cities and towns but these days It can get mighty boring traveling in the outer areas. IMHO Every Village and Town on the entire map should be infested with Zombies to keep things interesting and bring on those wild dogs and bears as well.

Right now I have a mod 70 with a scope, an MP5 with an ACOG and a .45 I am completely happy with the mix

To even approach me with a weapon drawn will get you a bullet to the brain

I remember one time at the old NE AF when I was a new player and the NE AF was a shooting gallery I ran into a good guy that hooked me up with a UK vest full of chow and gave me twenty 00 shotgun shells for my sawed off. I gave him a can opener that he wanted (I had a knife) . It was a good session because after the trading was done we got shot at from the tree line to the west and he told me to flank them from the right while he kept their heads down with his M4 and moved closer. I ran up on the two jerks and blasted one down and my benefactor nailed the other with a head shot almost simultaneously. We looted their corpses and parted company

I like that fact that people are thinking this way but greed and lust on the part of some players for the gear that others have acquired is a powerful incentive to KoS and loot your corpse. The other day I entered a house with blue trim (a food house) to search for some canned goods and a clown with a hockey stick and a helmet tried to bash me I dusted him with a shotgun. The dude had nothing to lose by attacking me except a character that was probably less than an hour old he wanted a shortcut. The cure, automatically rendering all of a players gear that was killed by another player into a ruined status (unless head shot) removes the incentive to kill for gain. But then there are the clowns that KoS for sport not gain and those folks are incurable IMHO. But KoS is a part of the game and in a real Post Apoc world there would be plenty of that action because of the character of true human nature. Just as in real life trying to force people into a cooperative mode is a waste of time.

I don't recall crouching but groaning did occur and the action is outside your control as is vomiting. But I agree in that case you should shit your pants (and damage your trousers) and be inactive for a few seconds at least. This guys experience is just about standard I think

I cured myself from what I assumed to be dysentery by drinking plenty of good water eating and taking antibiotics I had to stay close to a pump to stay hydrated and every time I succumbed to the diarrhea I had to rehydrate eat and take more antibiotics. It took awhile but I survived. The first time I died from the disease. if you drink too much you will vomit and the drugs and chow are wasted.

Hell I would have shot the SOB too Bro. The problem with private servers is that there always seems to be a central clique. Crowded public servers can be good because you have the freedom to do as you please and there is nothing wrong with some PVP or even some KoS For killing the freak in the dress have some Beans :beans:

I Think that's true but they are also hangouts for ass wipes that imagine themselves to be slayers and further imagine that the new-spawns and semi geared up players that are mostly new as well are dangerous so in that way they can suck their own dicks congratulating themselves on their awesome combat skills. But I have also met some good people on public servers I helped a cool new-spawn run around and and get geared up just I was helped once by a damn good player when I was new. Unfortunately those instances of civil behavior seem to be getting less frequent Have some beans :beans: .
