Car batteries are 12v dc houses are 110v or 220v ac depending on where you live. You can wire 10 or 20 batteries in series load, pos , neg ,pos, neg... pos ,neg, load but 120-240v of direct current is extremely dangerous especially with the current truck batteries can deliver. There's your electric fence though, tongue biting muscle spasms, guaranteed 3rd degree burns with a high likely hood of cardiac arrest, especially effective with the humid climate in Chenarus.

Dunno, it seems like less than or close to a minute, never timed it I'm always close enough to add wood to the fire because I use sticks. Been working fine for me, I also always carry a full pumpkin on a stick as backup food and can heat the whole thing over and over to carry as a heatpack when it's raining or I go swimming. It will not show up red/heated until you shoulder the stick or take it back into your inventory.

Cut a branch form a tree, put steak on it, equip, face any fire, you get the option to "pose stick towards fire", you see the meat change to cooked, eat it and run a real random risk of food poisoning right now. You can't get sick again while you are sick so you can just keep eating meat to get through it If you don't mind being greyed out and one little hit from KO'd for 3 hours.

So you fall in the middle between the people who want to spawn in full mil gear with a kitted m4 and me who wants it to take 15 or more hours of struggling just to get a healthy status. I only play one game at a time and immerse myself completely in it even tailoring my work schedule around it at times but get there's all sides of the spectrum. That's going to be a tough probably impossible task for the developers and think we're going to have to wait for modding to tailor our DayZ experience into the game we want out of it.

I'm still trying to be optimistic that in the end it'll have the core features of good survival game and not get dumbed down too much to cater to the "majority". When all said and done I'll probably play on a LAN with my kids or by myself and mod it as I see fit to be the game I want it to be because fucking casuals always get what they want though.

Found these pics of fun with old spray paint cans as pyrotechnics for a youtube video, short of getting hit by the end cap there's no effective shrapnel and very little concussion. All they'd be good for is a shock and awe distraction unless you held your targets face up to it, maybe some singed hair. https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/v/t1.0-9/644174_3710853389773_145636517_n.jpg?oh=256c0602162daf8362b1570ae3bcabce&oe=56AA6286 https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/734197_3710853029764_1216412329_n.jpg?oh=98324e3cb7136bdd1da7e21dea25e2cb&oe=565F3208 https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/385346_3710852949762_1587848234_n.jpg?oh=764bfe4ec378a183eeb78cbd9f076b28&oe=56676897

4. Nope, trust me. fuel canisters all have some over pressure release mechanism either a burst disk on larger propane tanks or engineered into the pressed one's end cap. If you heat them enough the seal at the end cap will just hiss out the excess pressure and without a source of ignition it's pretty anticlimactic. I happen to have 2 under my desk exactly like the ones in game that I plan on putting in a fire for video purposes once wild fire season is over here and will post my results in the gallery. **edit** Filling the concave part at the bottom with slow gunpowder like that from shotgun shells and taping over it with a wick or electric igniter would probably get some spectacular results though may try that as well.

People who KOS out of fear and self preservation sure. People who gear up go looking for trouble die and complain about not being able to gear up quick enough are. They're not playing a survival game they're playing an FPS on a big map with disregard for the permadeath concept that us playing as a survival game take seriously.

I can see number 2 being a biggie, I love this game and where it could go if they stick to making it different. There's so many people out there that want it to be an instant gratification simulator like every other game already out there, they can't make a case for why they don't just move on and everyone has to like what they like so they get abusive If you said bad things about my beloved miss kitty my favorite child I'd get pretty pissed too.

Lol, I'm new to the whole idea of DayZ since February of this year, I didn't get as far as typing "Dean Hall's..." and Google's autocomplete did the rest. Some interesting stuff but nothing really saying why he left but a good bit about RocketWerkz his new studio and ION his new game.

Lemme know if it works, I finally got a truck and tried to refuel it and it didn't work. Couldn't remove the tires either, not sure that and the refueling was input lag or broken.

As far as I know gun damage per shot relies entirely on the projectile? Throw in dispersion, rate of fire, and I believe a degradation of base damage over distance and you can get an effective damage per second at a given range. The ballistic damage model is already better than most without modifiers for barrel length, blowback/locked bolt actions etc. The protection is all just a placeholder currently right now.

I think it might be a placeholder mechanic? Get some data on how apt the average player is at getting 2 parts then finding a truck as opposed to the old way of just finding a truck, start tuning the final system based on this? I believe when I started playing there was only 3 trucks per map and they had little or no fuel to start with so they have that info to go by now too.

Have you confirmed this in .58? I saw a gas can on the front fender of a wrecked Ural at Myshinko during exp and it would have been difficult for a player to place it just so. As far as I knew vehicle wrecks that do not have dynamic moving parts like doors did not spawn loot right now though.

Looking at that smoke in the parking lot I think they opted for the $60k "can it get on and off the lowbed trailer once?" model.

Dynamic boats between Berizino and Elektro, found 6 on one server so far.

I agree, and I die more than I kill but some of my most memorable moments have been the instant "you are dead" and slumping in my chair thinking about what I just did wrong. Human being are aware what happened when they get shot and most even if they're not killed emotionally shut down and loose their will to fight from one bullet. That's what under 0.30cal military ball rounds are intended for, cleanly pass through but put one guy in shock so he freaks out and it takes two of his comrades out of the fight also trying to aid him. 0.30cal and above especially the commercial looking 0.308cal expanding hunting bullets, they are meant to do irreparable tissue and organ damage while dumping all their kinetic energy stunning the target as well, head or center mass should be a one hit kill, vest or not they should be incapacitated. I miss the early Clancy games like Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, and Ghost Recon where you could take a guy out of the fight with a shot to the ankle under a vehicle. You get shot in the ankle all you're thinking is "fuck, my ankle" not gee I should slap a rag on that and get back to running and shooting.

I assume you're talking about the bug tracker? I wish they put a bit of work into that making it less clunky or even better and in game UI, I love having to exit the game and then fight to log in to it eventually changing my password just in time to forget what I was logging in to report. The second one is pretty common to me lately in different forms, anything but the base map has been placed dynamically and buildings, trees, haybales, railroad tracks, the bow of the wrecked ship, etc. are all creeping it seems.

I'd bet it's a bug not a feature like when you put wet or damp clothes in your bag anything else that can gets wet or damp.

Good catch, I was wondering if eventually it's planned that you could leave one open in the rain and catch fresh water?

The first set of prices I came up with were $50k for the tank, roughly $20k to ship to the nearest port, $30k if you want it fully refurbed with everything except the cannon and MGs in full working order. The article I found was about buying them from Czechoslovakia so their shipping bill would presumably be a lot less

They walk around and do animal stuff on some random or pre-planned animal routine if undisturbed, they run away if spooked or towards the lead animal if they get separated from it.

I saw the mic but even if they we're parking it as a decoration I couldn't see the sound guy turning down the chance to record it to save for later at least. If the graphics guys could use a picture for textures they could go snap that whenever but the way that it's parked I don't think it's going anywhere soon. If it's cool and calm the smoke from first flashing it up after sitting on the lowbed would hang around for awhile.

More likely looking at the slab it's parked on and the plugged gun they BI bought a lawn ornament representing their mil sim projects. If you factored in the moving and placement costs it's probably cheaper to buy a running obsolete tank and park it than moving an immobile hull.

Isn't the expanded radio types and functionality coming as well? I noticed at some point a bunch of random abandoned suitcases around the map got swapped out for a large table top radio set.
