OK *Sigh... When I play DayZ, I like to be very realistic, and I'm sure most of you guys do too! I love the idea of being able to "travel during day" with or without friends, and imagine, there is a full 24 hour server, and its almost nighttime, and before you head up in the hills to set up a campfire and stuff, you find a struggling player, imagine you take him up in the hills, set up camp, and its nighttime. You guys would sit there, talking to each other while the campfire crackles. And you are just there all night (considering you both have time on your hands). Or you could be snuggled up to the fire by yourself at nighttime, doesn't matter. My question is, are there any US Central, 24 hour day and night servers out there? If there are, then could you please put their IPs in the comments. (they don't have to be US Central, but that's my preference)

They would add in a "time count" or something before the items transferred from one backpack to the next.

Ok, so my DayZ character is MORE than prepared for a firefight, for avoiding bandits, for helping others, for staying alive. So there's not much else to do, right? I've been at the stage where you decide to rob and kill others, or help defend others. I am idle at this stage, and have been for weeks now. Anyways I have reached my goal. I can repair clothing items if they become damaged, I can EASILY go in the woods, and never come out ever again, and still be able to sustain myself. My Mosin has all pristine parts, compensator, long range scope, a 5 round clip, a pu scope, plenty of ammo, a camo paintjob with a grass wrap to top it off. Anyways I've been carrying all my grenades and ammo and epi-pens in my assault vest for awhile now, but the vest was badly damaged. Even with my magnum, Mosin, firefighters axe, and crap ton of ammo. I stayed away from zombies, locked them in houses, etc. because I was looking for a leather sewing kit, for DAYS now. anyway I said "screw it" and left the coast. I don't know why, but berinzino and the lumber mill were the only places I've been looking for my leather sewing kit. But the first 20 minutes I was inland about a mile and a half, I found a long range scope, I made my grass wrap, more ammo, and found TWO leather sewing kits. Now I'm heading to the far west of the map, to set up camp, hunt elk, cows, boars, etc. And when 0.51 is released, I'm going to get the ghillie suit. When I get it, I'm going to find a nice little spot on the west of the map, to just snipe zombies for target practice, and snipe bandits, help bambi's, etc. Because in this BIG open area, if you have no food or weapons your going to die. This is my plan for DayZ. Post your story, and plan, in the comments below!

hmm.. I guess your right.. I got an idea, people RARLEY travel along the very very west side of the map, if I see someone, I will stalk them and confront them. I don't know what ill do to be honest. But the innocent will not be harmed!

Do you start with a different character in experimental? and what are the risks of playing on it?

What is the "simple" "adventurous" life you speak of?

well.. it depends, if they are wearing payday masks and are traveling in a group, ding ding ding! bandits! if they are behind a bush with there gun drawn waiting to ambush someone, ding ding ding! bandits. But if someone was just "running along the hills" or "running along the road' I'm not going to shoot them! depending on the situation,i might stalk them, seeing if they are hostile, or friendly, nice, or mean, worthy of my help, or deserving to die. And do you play on experimental servers? because cannibalism isn't out till the 0.51 update.

Unfortunately if the game says "broken arm" no matter if you actually broke your arm or not, that's what it says, and since painkillers don't fix broken arms, if this one is buggy as you claim it to be, it still will not be fixed with painkillers.

Yes painkillers currently work as of the 0.50 patch. But there are curtain things painkillers wont fix. But what they do fix, is pain (hence the name)

There was one thing I regretted, but at the same time I wouldn't be where I am today in DayZ if I hadn't done it. so I was in electro. Full server 40/40 people. Anyways I was going through looting buildings, all the doors were clothes, and there was loot everywhere. I thought "pshh no ones here" anyways I had a Mosin with no ammo, a firefighters axe that was black, a orange raincoat, black motorcycle helmet, summer hunting pants, and some boots, and a lot of meds and food. So I saw the hospital and decided to go inside and loot it. before that though, another player found me and we were talking, he was asking if I had any 0 bucks (shotgun ammo) I said "lemme check" and I "pretended" to be looking through my inventory, so I could catch the jump on him if he tried anything, anyways I knew since I saw him that I had no shotgun ammo on me. so I "backed out" of my inventory ;) ;) . and I was like "sorry brother I don't" he said "its fine, do you need any food or water?" I said "thanks but no, I have food and water" and I said "for your troubles, here's a morphine" and I gave him a morphine, then headed to the hospital, I was on the third floor in the stairwell, and two people outside said "is there anyone in there" This is the mistake I made.... "yes! someone's in here!" I went out and talked to them for a while, they said that "they are looking for a dangerous convict" anyways before I was going to run off away from these two fishy characters, a squeaker comes out of nowhere and says "you in the orange raincoat" (me) I said "yeah?" he said "your the one that killed me!!!" and I was like "I've never seen you before in my life" anyways I decided to make a run for it from there. I ran, and they were like "c'mon you have nothing to run for" I went back towards them and was like 'sorry it doesn't feel safe right now" sure enough, one of them shoots me in the shoulder with a Mosin, I wasn't bleeding so I ran like hell. eventually they killed me... Biggest mistake I made so far..

Thank you. Is there a status effect to go along with "pain?" I know there is a status effect for a broken limb/fracture.

This would be very interesting.. cant tell you how many times I've killed people (out of self defense) and I chose not to loot them because their body is in the middle of a huge town like electro and Cherno. this one guy I killed who was a bandit, had an m4a1. I sniped him from a tall building in Cherno. anyways I said "I'm going to get my butt shot off if I go out there" sure enough, this other player (raincoat, taloon backpack, motorcycle helmet) came prancing along and found the body, and he ACTUALLY SPOKE IN DIRECT COMMUNICATION going "omfg yes an m4 YESSS" he picked up the m4, and still was putting the other guy's clothes on. I wasn't going to shoot him, but luckily for him, someone else did. Dragging bodies to secluded areas. would've meant that raincoat guy would still be alive.. Dev team... you MURDERERS! Cheers! Stay warm and don't lose your beans!

Before I start I just want to say, wow. What an amazing game and development team for helping making this dream a reality. Now For The Issue Currently, this is my character in DayZ Standalone: And THIS Is What I Fell In Love With: Anyways, it is more than possible to be a hardened combat ready military survivor one second, and pull a few things out of your backpack, and become a ghost. Someone that no matter how scared you get, how much you believe you can kill them, that you will NEVER find them. I'm not worried about "storage space" or anything like that for the upcoming improvised ghillie suits, but you cant wear them when you have on a backpack, no problem, ill just sit in this field for 3 hours, or so, with my BACKPACK ON THE GROUND, its all good until your server restarts.. you see, when a server is in the midst of restarting, you cant pick up items, imagine, your sitting in a field with a sniper and a ghillie suit with your backpack full of all your food and most of your supplies, "its fine ill just pick it up when I'm ready" but when your aiming down that scope and the server is restarting, you go to pickup your backpack and you find that you simply cant. And to sit there and watch your belongings, knowing that in another 60 seconds, you will never see it again, that feeling sucks. I'm just wondering if there is going to be a way past this issue, besides knowing when the server your on is going to restart. Persistence from what I hear, is still quite buggy, and that "some of my items wont be in my backpack" after the server restart. And how will I know if a server is persistent if it doesn't say? there has to be a curtain way to find out besides dropping an item waiting for a server restart. So yes, besides persistence.

(THIS LAST ONE NOT MINE) but its really beautiful.

Yeah, Rags is a very.. active member, I see his posts everywhere. Most of the time I agree with him. He's a good contributor to these forums to keep most of the ignorant people away.

Thanks Mandrake, and leather sewing kits are pretty common, so hopefully I wont have any problems finding one. Cheers! stay warm and don't lose your beans! :lol: ;) :beans: :thumbsup:

OH I can assure you I play the game. But is it such a crime to not want to have to go to an airstrip to get a new tactical vest? No one "wants" there stuff to be ruined, but if it was ruined, I'm heading ALL THE WAY to the west of the map anyways, so naturally I'm going to stop at the international airstrip, I just don't want to have to stress over getting rid of items because of lack of space. I'm just lazy, that doesn't mean that I'm "afraid" to go blow up a gas station, and wait to see who follows the noise.. your hostility doesn't help anything.

Whilst I was writing this post, I was thinking about if a leather repair kit, or duct tape would repair it. I'm trying to find the answer before I play dayz again, I put all my ammo in my vest, and if it goes "ruined" I damn sure don't want my ammo to become ruined too.

To much, because when you "skin" a person you can easily not get blood everywhere. Why make every one be "clumsy" with the bowie knife?

I did that on purpose. How else are people going to read it to solve my little problem?

Wow.. That loot is INSANE. I cant wait till I find a server with "undiscoveredness" like that.. wow.

I said, if you get a computer with a good (gaming) graphics card (Nvidia GForce) They almost ALWAYS come with good motherboards, cpus, PSUs, and everything else for gaming. So nothing I said "isn't true" because I already stated correctly what you said "wasn't true"

My personal opinion, you should've researched dayz more and its requirements, and you should of looked at your computer a bit more before buying it. Just because the computer is expensive does NOT mean it will play games good. It might actually be the total opposite. The hard truth is, either get a new computer, or don't play dayz. When you look at the computer you are buying, my opinion is get a one with a NVidia G-force driver, and 10+ GB of ram. computers that carry this, always have the right specs for everything else in the computer, just bu a computer with a NVidia G Force driver pre-built into it, with 10+ GB of ram, and everything else tends to fall into place. My computer (NVidia Gforce) has 16 GB of ram, and every game I get (even dayz) I can play on the HIGHEST settings, (practically any settings I want to) and I will experience NOO lag..

Hang around airstrips, you'll find one eventually.

Virtually, in DayZ a map would take up one slot, and a can would take one slot, but if you think about it, you could fit WAAY more maps in a backpack, than cans. So I don't know why they shouldn't implement half slots in DayZ, it would make inventory organizing a bit more easy in some situations, and harder in others, which is more realistic. And obviously, a small item (map) wouldn't take up as much room as a bigger item (canned food) I don't know, just maybe something to think about..
