No problem!

I don’t think that works. Just drop it roughly in the right place with the g key.

Some official servers are time compressed 6.2x. Is that what you mean?

To advertise Xbox in the pc section? I don’t get it- can we cut people’s faces with designs now and hang dismembered limbs from windows? I do like how the guys with the motorcycle helmets appear to be pompous dickheads (I had to watch without sound)- pretty standard issue murderball on those jagoffs but overall I don’t think that represented anything in game other than most players in motorcycle helmets are fucking douche rockets. (IMO)

Or a large V could be displayed over your character in game so that everyone else knows to avoid you otherwise you'll start talking to them about it.

Curious if anyone has had this happen to them? I like the rain in the gutter... but you can go ahead and fix this whenever. I'm done going in buildings when it's raining for awhile.

There was also one where the sound of a gunshot would occur... freaked me out a few times when guys would log out nearby.

What are your system specs? Did you report this in the bug reporter? Should try to screen / video capture this issue...

Far cry 5.

I actually ran out of the building because I thought someone had voip fucked me but then as I was exiting I heard the drain and quickly put the problem together. I do remember having that issue a long time ago but guess other items in the non existent roadmap took precedence.

Oh cars come with their share of challenges. I touched one the other day my friend cam to pick me up and almost died. Started throwing me up in the air... I was just trying to open the door... Meanwhile on his way to get me it starts orbiting itself like a satelite, glitching through terrain multiple times. What a stupid mess. On your other point Items certainly seem to show up in waves...

The biggest advantage to having pristine gear is the "hit points" that act as a buffer in the garment versus your personal health pool. So if a bullet hits you (or a punch) it'll do a certain amount of damage... but that damage can be spread throughout your garments- I think the contents and then your body. Now in terms of contents- that may not still apply... I remember back in the day having protector cases / med kits / cooking pots etc was beneficial because they acted somewhat like a bullet proof vest... since they not only distributed damage away from contents but also your character if the impact happened on the garment in which they were stored. Recently I had a few zombies aggro on me and this was not desirable... as a result they ruined my high cap vest. I could still store stuff in it- which was good- but I knew if I took a bullet it would provide 0 further protection... so I needed to decide if I needed the extra capacity or wanted the protection. I may be a bit off with this but I think I'm close.

If you're talking about the more western style mask they're not yet implemented. At least not on the PC side anyway.

I got my loud guy sorted out and our group spread out a little bit to pass the time. Bond and Chili went on an adventure the the west which resulted in some interesting finds- including a very substantial base south of Tisy which was respectfully raided for some convenience items. We posted an "all hands" message to go back and pick our teeth on the remaining inventory but by the next day it was reportedly being emptied. "Not sure if someone else found it or if they're busy moving locations... but much of the inventory is gone." We did run into a couple other bases closer to home- a little too close. We put our Helper Skelter caps on long enough to place several mines around the more substantial offending base just to help keep them on their toes while we kept our eyes on a couple of other small plots. One member reported that the military tent that Bam and I found in Smirnovo had been moved out of the garage (we'd had a firefight there a couple weeks back) but had then been placed semi glitched into a hill next to the road slightly west of its original location. We were licking our chops at the prospect of dragging the military tent back for our own purposes and I met up with Chili on location to pack the tent up and start the long trek back to our base with it. It was also intended to be a bit of an "F U" to the guy who ambushed us. Don't get me wrong- someone defending his own property is expected... but F U all the same. I emptied the tent of what I can only describe as entirely uninspiring loot (same as had been the case when we first found it) and tried to pack it but couldn't find the prompt. The back corner of the tent was glitched in terrain so I wasn't sure if that was the reason... but nothing I could do would bring up the prompt. Chili tried and also failed at which point we turned to google-machine. We found a few mentions of sweet spots and hidden loot items etc. but nothing worked. We left it in place and haven't been back to see if it's still there. One day I returned to our base to find that the windshield of the car had been smashed... which caused me some significant concern since it meant that our base had been found and someone ostensibly crazed / smashed the windshield (car was still green) and didn't take anything in the whole camp. Wait a minute... The next day I logged in and the windshield was fine. 1.0. Unfortunately helping freshies out isn't always rewarding since it really isn't all that hard to survive right now. Sometimes we stumble into someone who is brand new to the game and can actually get some gratification from setting them along the right path... Some know enough about the game to lure you over to bandage them and then try to stun punch you- so of course you cut them up but you're left feeling a bit raunchy. Needless to say the routine leaves a little to be desired and guys get bored and start acting out a bit. But there's literally nothing to do right now... base is built... car is stolen... we have everything we want. Now what?

Okay thanks for saying that... I'd read somewhere that slamminlola was in and never really wanted to try it out. I always chuckle every time I kill an animal and all the meat and fat is laying around... I think it was you who wrote about "eating a whole sheep" and even right now as I write that I'm laughing... the concept is hilarious to me. Anyway... okay so disregard what I said about the chicken but I can say human meat will have a high potential of giving your kuru and that will result in your character laughing like a rooster- with annoying frequency. It would be a little less annoying if it shifted between laughing and crying but priorities I guess. Though I don't know if we know what the priorities are since it's almost mid-march and as far as I know they're still having meetings about the roadmap.

Absolutely... I haven't quite figured out what the relationship or ratio of "hit points" is in terms of where you're striking from but it definitely seems like I have to hack away a lot when I'm clipping through a zombie as opposed to standing off- yet the hits continue to register. If I am able to stand off and strike with a combat / hunter knife I can often take one down in a couple of swipes... but if I'm "one" with the zombie I'll have to hit them 6-7 times. I haven't paid enough attention to notice if there are ever times I'm standing off when it takes me that often (which would suggest a little more RNG in the strike) or if it's always 2-3 strikes from standoff distance and always 6-8 when in coitus... It's not game breaking by any means... typically you can work through it. Maybe my galactic expectations of 1.0 are simply over the top.

I'd have to go back and find the original thread where bases and helicopters along with some other fuckery was being announced... and I figured that would be the end for me. I loved the idea of what DayZ was and what other games weren't... I wasn't at all interested in seeing it try and do things that other titles were already doing. Bases are in and yet I'm still here- but their implementation has been so irrelevant it was just another check in the box: 1) Find a heli crash. Check. 2) Build a fire. Check. 3) Wear a pea coat. Check. 4) Build a base. Check. 5) Steal a car full of M4s. Check. Between being excruciatingly vulnerable and serving no purpose than to store gear that we've been told religiously to not become attached to... the adding of bases has been completely unremarkable. It's paradoxical in that on one hand you spend all this time building the thing to store all this gear you're not supposed to give a shit about for various reasons... so it should mean that you don't care if someone breaks in and sacs the whole place. But it isn't just about the gear- it's about being able to declare that small section of map as your own. If you build it right... this should be the case. If you had walls that enclosed a certain space on a map I can't imagine it would be difficult to input a script that excluded that part of the map from people spawning into- preventing ghosting on the official pubs. People argue that we have tools and that's what tools are for but the maps are filled with windows you can't break with a fucking sledgehammer so... yeah. Let's maybe balance some of this out.

Pretty sure salmonella is in if you eat raw chicken, and I know kuru is in since one of our guys has been giggling maniacally for days. There's also some sort of cold that people can get- I'm not entirely sure how but the ongoing coughing exposed a guy trying to ambush us some time ago. You also get sick with dirty water- causing irregular vomitous. It's certainly not the greatest but they're in game.

We can get away with eating most meat raw now- I think raw chicken and raw human are the only two that cause any issues. I’m sure that’ll get fixed at some point but for now I still like to take down a deer / hog / etc when I see one since they do provide a large amount of food. I used to cook it all but don’t bother anymore since there is no penalty for eating it raw and no benefit to cooking it. We used to talk about there being a “morale” effect- where some items discussed above would have a positive impact on your character somehow. Improve resistance to disease / injury maybe- boost soft skills a bit... whatever- just some tangible gain for investing time in your character.

TL:DR Version.

You didn't accidentally end up in a Hard Core (HC) or experimental server by any chance? Either on your first guy, or your second? Are you saying your dude ends up in the same place where you logged out but with no equipment on?

And if you use the optic in your hand it doesn't work at all so count your blessings.

I think it's just to prevent being able to hit things accurately from the hip or at least without focusing on the sights. Not sure what the issue is.

Hold breath is just the left cntrl key... At least that's how mine is bound. As for a press versus a toggle... Maybe someday- although I must admit my left pinky is buff af right now.

These two houses have surprisingly good loot in them... I don't often pass those by.
