this enough zombies for you?

Easy doc, I didn't want a psychaitrist lesson on how games make me want me to chop up my neighbor and wear his spleen as a bobble hat. I'm sorry are you late for an appointment or something?

you can find pens and paper in the same room of a building, or at least tear a page out of a book, which seems to spawn in nearly every house you find. Dunno why people have to be so skeptical about everything all the time, I have seen weirder and stranger stuff happen in dayz fraps videos that most probably would have had a harder time believing than this story

this is what playing Dayz to its full potential is all about, rewarding and a clasic plaver to player interaction. Just think how the story would have gone if you just shot him. Wouldn't be worth mentioning at all

it gives you the option to handcuff and forcefeed poison and rotten food to players in game so why not use the feature? Its not like you can go for a pleasent sunday drive in your car to the traders and do a bit of DIY to your base yet is it? Aside from gearing up, eating, do a bit of hunting or camping out to hunt other players what else is there really to do in Dayz? If they didnt implement handcuffs or force feeding why is it such a taboo subject for people not to get their heads around? The torturing side of the game is just a fun player to player experience, be it you as the victim or you as the torturer, its just a fun way to expand on the current engine the game has to offer. If you don't like it then don't play the game. In my group I play with, we only torture someone if they start getting shitty with us for handcuffing them when they were in the middle of sniping bambis. If they are pleasent to us we let them go, but make sure they have to run to a building to get their weapons first so we can get away

there are more yes. before you would only get one or two, possibly 3 zombies come after you in stary sobor. Last night we had 8 charge from all directions and after they fell, another wave came in and another, we had to run out of town just to get a breather and plug some fingers in the various seeping holes we ended up with. and that was with 5 of us all armed

It really does make sense that walking into a big city will be met by hordes of zombies now, it makes you second guess how to deal with them. If you can sneak past one with its back to you, but as soon as the crackhead females come screeching your way and the noob in your group opens fire in panic, you are going to have a bad day. At one point it actually seemed like a scene from 28 days later when about 6 zombies were running down a side street at us and we got into a massive firefight trying to mow them down while avoiding shooting each other. The wall glitching, 10 foor reach and injuring you from the floor below is annoying, but its still progress. 50% still look through the window at you or wait by the door for you to open it, but thats still 50% more improved than 0.46 when all zombies would run in through a wall

im sure he died shortly after

Really? Best go play the sims then, don't want to damage that fragile mind of yours

This is so funny. You gulped it down while giving him the dead eye the whole time just so he knew that you were badass... Then you convulsed and collapsed on the floor

Just something I knocked up earlier. I mean seriously, what with persistent objects and static placement of tents, how long before chernarus begins to look like glastonbury?

so my custom faces post had mixed opinions but most seemed game for it but how about having the option to get fit (running 10km asside here) and have like weight lifting or add a gym building for players to build up their own strengh so they can take more damage because apart from looting arranging your wardrobe hunting fishing crafting capturing players shooting players camping other players exploring it will just give people something extra to do. And secondly I would love to see a toilet system introduced. Everyone keeps banging on about realism and immersion, after all we have feeding, drinking and a first aid system, but what about actually taking a piss or crouching down to take a dump? I was online with my mates the other night and one of them had to leave his pc for a second and in the kneeling position by a tree he actually looked like he was taking a crap. Would b nice to see the text at the bottom saying "I really need the toilet" and if you ignore it oo long "My body feels wet." and you get a soaked label in the inventory. I also love the idea of opening up a portaloo or outhouse to see someone pinching one off and I get to light him up. Think of the youtube hillarity. Sure you will get people saying Its disgusting or its not needed in game.... but when the hell do you go to the toilet? Ususally when you think your safe and you leave the game for a few minutes.

There are a lot of ghostly encounters happening at the balota airfield

why so serious? I saw someone post up a 9 tent campsite on the facebook group im with and this idea popped into my head

oh i know, I was just being sarcastic

me and everyone i know who have played dayz back from the mod days, we called them monkey zombies. The first encounter i had with one in standalone was when i spawned in by some farm and saw one chasing after a cow. I thought it was a very smart touch, because they don't only chase after you, they chase animals too and being a freshspawn only being live ingame for 5 seconds i thought it was good that the monkey zombie was distracted with a cow and not chasing after me so i ran off the other way

and since when does another player HAVE to be highlighted as an enemy? how would the game know what other players intentions are?

Really? for the sake of a map you probably dont even use? Do you give up that easy on everything that bothers you?

true but what I hear, Deans team is already streached to the limit. Personally I think Dean does a good job trying to keep us up to date with what is going on & even he can't make promises he isn't sure he can keep. After all in hind sight its easy for him to publically announce that the issue WILL be fixed in 2 days. only to find that the issue is a lot more complicated, then everyone starts bitching because he lied and they now lose faith in the game because the big Dean Hall promised us it would be fixed and it isn't. his team must be playing paintball instead of working on the game I want to play. They need to pull their weight because im not happy that i cant sit here all day and all night every day going "pew pew pew" with my other mates to a game i want fixed. This may be a bit of an exaggeration of course but its how I see a lot of inpatient people on game forums sometimes. They want it fixed and they want it fixed yesterday, because in 1982 you could make a game in 5 weeks, so why cant you do it now?

you honestly think they have the staff or the time to sit there and answer every single message, demand, suggestion or moan about dayz they probably get flooding in every second? No, so just Because they don't answer you should be a positive thing because instead they are spending their time constructivley trying to fix the game & they are probably already aware of the issues you messaged them about because about 5000 people have probably already told them first. Remember thaere are over 12 million people playing Dayz, do you think you have enough time in the day to sit there and answer every other person just like you with the same questions over and over and over? or would you prefer to get stuck in and get the game fixed so the messages stop?

Ghost in Balota? Last night me and my mates were looting tents in balota and we got the feeling someone was messing with us... or were they?

it seems that there is something odd with Balota. Just found another video made by someone else that shows some weird shit. Are they now adding in digital hauntings or something?

well in that case i dont wanna see you moaning the game needs more realistic features then

well i think you should at least get the option to when you open an outhouse or are in the woods even if the game doesn't depend on you doing it
