Really laughing at the general hipocrisy in here. Killing virtual pixels (children) is a no-go, but killing adults is perfectly a-ok and morally sound. Okay.. Fallout 1/2 had killable children you could slay in the most gruesome ways. No one batted an eye. Also, if someone is concernend about killing some pixels because of moral reasons, he/she has some other issues and problems not being able to tell reality apart from fantasy (a videogame). Dangerous I say. :) The new infected model looks really good.

Happens to me all the time. Mostly with pants. Sometimes I can find them in a room I was in before or outside a building, but most times they just go into the pant heaven, a better place. I am guessing it has something to do with desynch between server and client.

Weird, the Blaze has a very high damage output and I downed two people just fine with it since 0.49. You never know with DayZ..

Doesn't really work with good/perceptive players because you can see if a mag is loaded in the gun or not. :P Ofcourse you can have one in the chamber though.

Nice story! He followed you on your 'quest' because it means actually something meaningful to do ingame. More people need this kind of attitude instead of killing people out of boredom.

As the title says - has anyone noticed that you can now actually take damage when you walk into a campfire? Even together with hilarious messages your character says? :D I didnt test if it does damage to the items too, wanted to live a bit further and was too much like "What the fuck?" when I saw this (needless to say 2 minutes later I was Killed on sight because I made that campfire -.-) Anyway, just wanted to share that with you guys. Beware of the fires!

If you need a game to feel superior over others by taking their virtual lifes, you might have a problem or two.

Before I got an axe to the head, I was sitting next to a fire and it indeed got rid of the hypothermia status in about 10 minutes. Make sure wring out your wet clothes as well.

While I was with a friend who had a deathwish (and waste all our equipment) because the wipe comes soon, we decided to kill each other on the rainy, depressing day it was in DayZ. I killed my friend with a mosin shot in the chest (with hilarious ragdoll effects) and then got judgemental on myself and offed myself with a greande. But, when I pulled the pin on the grenade, I held it in my hands, sat down, nothing happened. Only when i decided to throw it at my feet it actually went off. Is that intended design? Its a bit unrealistic, eh? You can see that in this video here (dont mind the video name, it was supposed to make fun of those retarded bandit "execution" videos). I pull the pin on the grenade at 02:05 (oh and if someone wants the gear, if the server is still up, its called "Wir schiessen ihnen den Weg frei") - a bit east of kamenka, west of balota.

I realize that, I meant its bad it cant be done ingame like in other games :)

Hm, I didnt know that. This makes sense and you can label the OP as "retarded" then ;D Atleast I learned something new. Have my beans! EDIT: But, isn't it a bit bad that grenades then cant be cooked?

But how did the countless time I pulled the pin off a grenade and thrown it with it exploding after 4-5 seconds ingame count then? I am not a military buff, but what can be seen in the video seems silly to me.

Planetside has not: - NPC enemies scattered across the map - As detailed a map as Dayz has with that amount of foliage, towns etc - thousands of items scattered across the map that have to be rendered and put into video memory Finally, it is built on a different engine most probably tailored directly for that game, while DayZ (atleast now) still uses a bastard child of an engine not particulary suited for that type of game.

The M4 rare? Every second or third helicrash I see has one and numerous mags, attachments etc. It should be even rarer considering how easy these heli crashes can be found.

Most likely duped grenades. They'll soon be gone with the impending wipe.

You do realize the post you quoted was from almost half a year ago? :D

I am asking to trade a basic tent on the stable servers. I am willing to trade in an AK101 with all possible good attachments (pristine) and 5 mags for it. We have tried to find it and were very unlucky during the past week. That's why I ask here, since I am more of a bow/survival type and dont need the AK. I can also trade in the pristine black high cap vest. If you want to trade, my steam name is surf_polar , or send me a message on the forum here. Proof, and no, its not a trap, we are just very tired to finally find such a tent after looking at so many empty huts...

No, this isn't a rant post! I just wanted to share what I just saw in the last DayZ session of mine. After me and my group got killed by a hacker last evening, I ragequitted the game. Couldn't sleep, so I decided to fire it up again. Spawned in Novodmitrosk. I have been there before, but I decided to explore the townhall there a bit, since I only recently learned you can actually explore the interior of it . So I went in the first few rooms, some clothing items, everything mostly civilian, nothing groundbreaking. The rooms looked nice though. Then I climbed another set of stairs. Wandered in the first room on the right, wow, what the fuck is with all this loot in here? Why is it all so neatly arranged at tables, bed, etc? I am talking about a gaslamp in the middle of the room, clothing items on shelves arranged like fitting outfits, 20-30 items per room! I walk into the next room, similar setup. Suddenly I see a player walking in the room, as much shocked to meet someone in there as me who was just dropping another batch of gear on the floor. Since I am not the player with malicious intent, I made the F1 greeting gesture, talked over the microphone and also wrote in chat greeting him. Unfortunately, I don't know why but he logged off the moment I sat down. Unfortunately you can't see all the loot on that screenshot, but believe me it was there. I mean, even though all that stuff will be reset with the next server restart anyway, the guy was pretty much building a small place to call home in there with all those rations, clothing etc. It was more that a group of 5 people could carry, so that obviously took some time for him. I don't know why, but that was heartwarming to see! :) So, to the guy living in there, you rock! And I am sorry if I intruded your house, no need to draw the baseball bat, I dropped some rations there for you and travelled to the next town. ;)

Agree with your friend to set his walkie talkie to the same frequency. Inbetween 1 km the audio signal is clear as if you would talk over audio direct chat. Everying beyond will distort the audio signal until you dont hear anything at all anymore. EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPkZ0fvXFKk

I actually did! I called two of my friends, I've waited a bit outside town for them to come there. So we went there and got shot by snipers. Guess from where? From top of the town hall. One friend has a Long Range Scope like me, other one watches the doors to the townhall just as we speak. There's two people camping in the townhall top up there, both with identical equipment. :rolleyes: I'm watching the show from afar since I am a terrible shot and just provide recon and entertaiment. :P This will not stand however! The moment they are gone or (unlikely) shot by us, we will fortify that place and carry more loot there. Yay, one more goal in DayZ for us! :D

I have two walkie talkies ingame and can play sounds over my microphone. PM me if you want me to help with. :) Playing on euro servers though. :/

It was the server with the most people in my timezone that I could find (06/40 :( ) since I don't like playing on empty servers. Someone setting up a shop up there with even hiring some guards sounds awesome! :D

I've also tried it out myself with throwing the items, although it doesn't work with all of them. So as said, that's some nice dedication of that guy living in there. :) Haha, wrote the post and it's early in the morning, fixed! :D

The drop shadow effect on the text for "Break Neck" doesn't look the same as the one usually in the game. It's most probably a photoshop.

Judging by the quality of the audio, this sounds like someone plays it directly over the direct chat. Even though I really want this to be an easteregg/scary secret, it sounds more like some hacker kiddie has too much time on his hands.
