Great points about blood. I looked at it from both sides and having a blood meter / number is essential. In real life your 'full of blood' unless of severe trauma then you could possibly loose enough to effect your vision / strength. The vision aspect of this game cannot be counted on to determine your blood level, the shading changes the colors depending on the time of day, the weather, if your in shade etc. You cannot determine your blood level solely on the color of your screen. To eliminate any kind of blood meter they would have to code in natural regeneration of blood, you take some hits by a zombie, you eat a can of food or 2 here and there and rest and over time you will regain full blood. Then you have to consider the people playing that have color blindness, or other sight issues. I play with a friend who is color blind, he couldn't tell if it's getting dark or if he's down on blood givin his condition. Rocket said it best in an interview I watched, he was questioned about something that was 'unreal' in the game, he replied which essentially was that at some point you have to accept some unrealness aspects along with the realism because this whole mod /game revolves around something that does not exist......Zombies. An actual meter or something that shows your blood level and maybe some other stats has a rightful and justifiable place in DayZ

Seriously? This is the type of attitude Bohemia Interactive encourages? Griff you know full well that a million plus people bought Arma II for the sole reason of playing DayZ, that line is way past old, people aren't dense. The point people are trying to make is that with 1.1 million plus DayZ accounts in less than 6 months, spending time promoting the game / mod is a bit redundant now. One other thing, When your out promoting your game mod and trying to and I quote a Rocket interview ' Send a message on what kind of games you want and vote with your wallet' while knowing full well that players need to purchase the core game(s) making the statement that DayZ is 'free' is hyprocritical.

The fix for ATI has not fixed all artifacting for me, yes I think it is a little less but still an issue. Most people didn't have the artifacting before this patch so the issue is something with the game, not peoples hardware.

Tents seem really borked. They are not saving last saved state, they seem to be reverting to pre- 1.7.2.5 last saved state.

About the 'FREE' thing, Rocket is employed by Bohemia Interactive, Arma II & OA have been selling like hotcakes because of DayZ. People are buying these games to play DayZ, Bohemia Interactive is reaping the benifits from it. You are playing a free mod, but this is why the majority of the million plus accounts have purchased ARMA II & OA. Without DayZ ArmaII would not have had the sales it did the past ~ 5 months. Bohemia Interactive is making a killing on their old game because of this mod. The bullshit about your playing for free is just that, The game developers employer is making a fortune off of this.

Anyone else finding tents are reverting to pre 1.7.2.5 each server restart after this patch?

- Carried 3 full 30 round mags of STANAG, found fresh mag in a Firestation. Emptied 1 full mag on zombies, reloaded and picked up found Mag. No other shooting, left city and logged out in forest 2 hours later. Apon relog 3 STANAG mags had 24, 17 and 8 rounds in them. No graphics glitches or artiacting up to this patch. With 1.7.2.5 now Artifacting to fuck when looking at Stary tents and SE Barracks at NW airfield. Have not checked North Barracks, Balota nor Berizino, but the 2 mentioned area's I cannot even look towards. ATI Graphics card.

Thanks for the heads up on US 417, I'll have our admins review the logs and see if we can figure out who did this. I myself noticed something odd yesterday, someone had left some choice gear in my tent but didn't take any of my other choice stuff from it, maybe that's connected.... This is probably why I stumbled apon 6 bodies inside a supermarket most of whom had silenced m4's and identical kits. I though that was sketch as fuck.

I'm gonna say that ghillie is working 100 percent for me. I can simply wear without dropping any gear, no loss of items or reverting of equipement. I can switch back and forth to civi's and ghillie all without problem. We did however have issues with Ghillie's on our server but after much grief our server host ( HFB) reinstalled our DayZ server and that is what fixed our server for us.Since then they have been flawless. Would be interesting to hear what servers this is happening on and what patches they are running. Also are these less than 40 player servers? A server less than 40 players is an old install and that's where the issue was on our HFB server.

I want to add a plug for Ryahn and HFB, after contacting him and having excellent communication they have re-installed our server and our Ghillie / camo problems are fixed! As noted above all tents and vehicles were un-affected and in the same state as we had left them. I know there was alot of flack over HFB being posted but in our case Ryahn was prompt and courteous.

This is good to hear, about time this was nailed down. Guess we'll have to have our server re-installed.

That's a bit much, your obviously not looking at all the scenerios where a bullet may be passing near somebody. I've been in Elekrto / Chero / NW airfield before where a group of us were out shooting Infected, there's many a time a bullet has whizzed past or in the vicinity of a friendly ( bullet en route to infected). So if anyone of those guys decides they need to log for whatever reason because really, there's nothing happening you think they should log back in dead? Shit while your spouting these suggestions just make it that everytime you log in your a fresh spawn...............

+2 Were being told left right and center that the server needs to be on the updated hive, but yet NOONE has told us how we can determine if a server is on the updated hive..........

Ya right, even your mates on voice coms knew you had ' infinte grenades' because they immediately without hesitation told you to ' edit for youtube' the moment you said you were throwing infinte grenades. No ' What? how did you manage that? or anything, they already knew you had them. Your either a cheater or a duper or an exploiter, and most likely your buddies are too. 'Since you have been informed you don't do it anymore'.........Bullshit

Lol idk why everyone is getting so bent on groups having multiple vehicles, they are more of a pain in the ass than enough, You have to first find and fix them, keep them gassed up, find a hiding spot for them, take them back to the hiding spot when your done with them. Just a huge waste of time and effort, my group was actually a bit relieved our collection got jacked, gave us mucho time to run around the map and do other things. plus then you get to go look for them for payback! the only vehicles lost we really miss is the bicycles, those are the best.
