Rags!

...aaaaaand look at the topics started days before the .49 hits stable.

The idea of walking down the street of a town and finding wild edible plants growing is a welcome prospect.

People are curious things, and from what I have seen with them...taking advantage of people's curiosity can yield tactical advantages.

DayZ should not have a backstory. Maybe some little details here and there, little clues...but DayZ and Chernarus is, in a way, very mystical. Remember the first time you played? No map, just...wandering around, every bend of the road and every hill was a new sight and a mystery was around every corner? I know that, as good as it has to have a map, the magic of discovery is gone now. It's like Skyrim. The first character you have is always the most magical, since you don't know anything about the world you're jumping into. Chernarus is the same way. DayZ doesn't need to go the way of Dead Space, which is a perfect example of how trying to explain things that should remain a mystery only ruins things. The more you learn, the less you fear, the less wonder you have. Understanding leads to comfort. Chernarus and the mythos of what happened there should neer be explained, only left for players to imagine for themselves without hope of catharsis.

Just rename this thread: This Game Isn't What I Want It To Be Fast Enough For Me

I enjoy playing DayZ, and I think the finished product will be fantastic.

Jeremiah Johnson player model.

If you do not own a microphone, you should not be allowed to communicate with a text box in DayZ. You play on a computer that is worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars. If you play a multiplayer only game like DayZ without having a ten dollar headset...you deserve to be shot on sight. I kill mutes without question and advise anybody to do the same. If you don't communicate with me as a player, you're nothing but an NPC. And NPC's don't have souls.

There are no friendlies in Military Bases and Junkyards. The sooner you learn that, the sooner you start learning to look in the jeeps and pickup trucks.

No firearm after 15 hours?

I know the busted LAV at the Zelenogorsk military station spawns stuff, and I actually did start looking at the Pipe in Bed Pickup Trucks, and I found some boots. I know the Humvees don't spawn anything at the moment...but do the red cars with the luggage rack spawn stuff? I can't remember finding anything next to them. Maybe I just don't remember it.

I don't think this is confirmed.

Magazines spawn in the same place as the guns spawn: in the static helicopter crashes. You're holding the rarest weapon in DayZ, though. You found the unicorn.

This happened just this night, playing a game of DayZ, being all sneaky n' such...then BAM! Is this a hack or a glitch? I've heard of hacks that work just like this, so...I'm curious.

If a zombie is good and chases the living and says her prayers at night, she goes to Zombie Heaven, where the streets are paved with brains.

No offense. But I don't believe you.

Dat Blaze, tho.

Fuck the zucchini. How the hell are you getting that kind of framerate?

A friend and I were talking about clothing beneath clothing. We both thought that you should be able to have something light underneath something else, but it wouldn't let you use it for storage. All it would do is give you a little more damage protection.

I don't understand the message of your post. I think it's "In real life there are solutions to concerns in DayZ, the video game on the computer." You do know I'm talking about the video game, right? DayZ? The game that this website is devoted to? The game on the computer? That you play? I'm talking about the video game. Not real life. Once the update hits soon, players who are used to soldiering up with all that equipment are going to have to arm themselves with water bottles and a change of clothing, too. I'll relish that, personally. I like looking like a badass, but this game needs a focus on survival in addition to the inevitable PvP that will occur. I certainly don't "hate" military clothing. I hate how wearing that kind of gear doesn't have any negative effects on your mortal human being character in a survival game that is going to be filled with consequences for every decision. Or at least...it should. When you're tracking somebody or ready to journey into the wild grey yonder, DayZ needs to always nip at the back of your head with the omnipresent needs of mortality. You should always be thinking to yourself... "You need water and food before you trek to Svetlo" or "You're pinned down by another player on the hill...but you're thirsty so you have to do something soon" or "There's another player in that building over there...but you're about to starve, bro". I understand that there are realistic solutions to a myriad of survival issues one might experience in a world like Chernarus. But I'm talking about the video game here. We had to wear a pair of black BDU's in Search and Rescue here in Arkansas, we'd treck through the woods, the hills, the Ozarks for miles and miles in every kind of weather you could imagine. I'm an Eagle Scout, I hiked and camped in the woods every month for nine years of my life. I understand layering. I understand removing and adding clothing when it is necessary. But that's in real life. I understand if the rules of reality aren't at play in this video game, only representations of those rules in very basic implementations. And I think that's good. Fantastic, even. I don't mean to hate on you or anything, I just don't really understand the point of bringing up all the real life ways to fix problems in DayZ that DayZ will not allow you to do. But I'd love to have a discussion about it.

If you kill a person and you look at their gun, you can loot just their gun and it will show all the items that the player was wearing, even though the body itself is gone. #justdayzthings

Please note... Wool insulates even when wet in the real world. Will there be a DayZ representation of this? No clue. But it's something to be aware of.

I have over three hundred hours and I still can't ever be sure who is friendly and who isn't.
