If they are a "no show" I will re-post.

Do you ever get a response? When I'm in a truck I cant hear an atomic bomb explosion much less a guy on the side of the road speaking in direct chat. The engine noise is just too loud.

What is it, on a psychological level that makes people pull out their guns when they hear a truck? Almost every time I climb into a truck to make a leisurely journey across the map I get shot or shot at. I’ve also watched lots of videos where the authors were engaged in typical DayZ activity when along comes a vehicle and almost instinctively the first thing they do is pull out a gun. WHY? The slow control response in a truck doesn’t exactly make it and ideal weapon and because front tires are venerable zombies are more dangerous than charging trucks. Sure it’s possible they could run you over but that’s high risk for the driver. It’s easily out maneuvered and the occupants cannot shoot at you. Even if they decide to get out and engage you, they are the ones with the disadvantage as they must complete the dismount animation before they can go through the arming animation. Is it jealousy, is it envy, is it annoyance? What, on a primal level, makes us drop everything we are doing at the chance to get a bullet into that cab? Even if you don’t attempt to shoot, what causes us to immediately draw weapons? I say “us” because I find myself doing the same thing even when I’m in no danger of attack or even detection my heart rate increases, I get hyper aware and my gun comes out just as it would if someone had taken a shot at me. I can’t decide if its fear or bloodlust, greed or dominance. What say you??

We are a fast food society. Drive thru's and microwaves and yes, even virtual suicide.

Can any of you guys on this post tell me how you were able to upload these videos? I've only been able to attach links to the videos I want to upload. I've dicked around with it a few times but haven't been able to finger it out. Thanks and sorry for not contributing to the discussion.

Drowning is back in! I just tried it and died fairly quick. Faster than running to the construction site. I dont know when it was removed but a few weeks ago I read a post that it had been taken out so I went out to give it a try on a private shard and was unable to drowned myself. But its back in now. https://youtu.be/tRJu1bbI6gw

Good point. Now that you cant drowned yourself I cringe when I get a crappy spawn that's not close to a high dive.

The other side of the coin is what about those players who wouldn't want to spawn at the prison. If you are a newbie trying to learn the game or maybe just a woodsman survivalist and spawned into a firefight, no chance no thanks. Even if you were able to escape being shot down and managed to get into the water you'd probably die from your own fatigue as you don't spawn with much health in the first place. If speed rounds are what people are looking for by spawning on the island, there are other games that specifically cater to that type of game play and do it very well. And that's my 29 dollars worth.

Update: Worms are like pond water, if you eat them when your starving you will get sick but if your energized you will be fine. I ate a handful while energized and nothing happened then later ate some when I was yellow hungry and received “funny taste in mouth” message followed by sickness. I had to force myself to throw up twice before I began to see color again. BTW, worms provide very little energy almost no water so if your starving and find a shovel, leave the worms alone. Don’t make a bad situation worse. I set up a mine field and a bear trap field, round up a few zombs and funneled them through both fields several times. Nothing happened. A buddy of mine ran into the trap field and broke his leg. I ran into the mine field and nothing happened. The only way I was able to get the mines to explode was to scroll over one and activate it, then it transported me to the beach.

I’ve got a few noobie questions, which at this point in my experience I should know the answers to, but either I didn’t pay attention or learned and forgot. I was hoping some of you more helpful members could enlighten me. I know there are some sour heads out there whose default answer is “search the forums”, but fact is when you type in a search it shows results for anything which has ever had that phrase in it. Not only do you have to fumble through hundreds of posts but a lot of them reference oudated information which no longer apply to the current build, so in regards to version .55…. 1. What exactly happens when a server restarts? Besides respawning zombies, sending my truck back to where I last got out, changing the clock time, and undoing the last five minutes of my gameplay, why must all servers restart several times a day? 2. Do bear traps/land mines work on zombies? 3. Is it an option that the server admin can change the countdown login time? I know two servers who have 30 second timers while others typically have a 60 second. Ive seen videos where people have to wait 300 seconds. 4. Do civilian tents still exist? I haven't seen one since the tent splosion when 55 was released. I have seen military tents but no civilian. 5. Do M4s only spawn at heli crash sites? In all the military locations I’ve looted Ive never seen an M4 in the wild. Only the ones carried by other players. 6. Can you eat worms without getting sick? 7. Can you eat raw meat without getting sick? 8. I drove a truck into the water and flipped it. When the server restarted it was floating above where I rolled it. I swam out, got in, started it and it sank then flipped. Whenever the server restarts I go check and there it is floating on the water. When will it stop appearing on the water and start spawning in a designated truck spawn point? 9. Are helos still only spawning in the same four locations? 10. I found a building that has a noclip wall. Where a wall appears to be you can walk right through it without the use of any manipulation techniques. Its not in a populated area and has very little strategic advantage. Great place for a stash but I’m worried I may be considered a wall glitcher and be banned. Would this be grounds for banning? 11. Does anyone want to give me a fully kitted M4 (preferably butt first) Thanks all

This sounds to be the most reasonable explanation because my friend and I have been trying, on multiple servers for two days, and have been unable to get more then half an hour out before a cold indication pops up on the dashboard. We then turn around, head back, get warmed up and try a different server (rinse and repeat). The day I made it to Schadenfreude I not only swam east without cold issues but just prior to that I swam the entire coastline from Svetlo to Skalisty without issues. I thought it might be server related but now I'm getting cold warnings on that same server. The only other big difference was the character had died from thirst on the return trip. Its possible that the character its self had the glitch when it was generated. I wish I could figure it out because we were trying to set up a military tent and establish the first Schadenfreude outpost before the wipe. I think I'm through with swimming for a while, I'm going to go back to getting KOS'd. BTW, you can drop stuff from your inventory in the middle of the ocean and it will appear in the vicinity screen. you can pick it back up or even swap items with another players. Neat trick but I cant think of a situation where it would be useful.

I've had this happen to me as well but it only occurs on high pop servers. If i run on a low pop sever, I don't hear it. It is very annoying.

I know nothing of forestry, I just know this tree produced a ashwood stick.

If you decide to make the swim keep an eye on your warning icons. If you get a yellow cold indication turn back. It will escalate to hypothermia. If your going to get this icon it will be within the first 15 minutes of the swim. When I made my successful swim I never got any cold indication icons, only cooling off messages.

My trip began during daylight hours but it got dark as I swam out. I just made the trip the other night and yes it was .55. No my friend wasn't wearing a vest. Are vests glitched? I am currently doing water experiments to try and figure it all out but there doesn't seem to be a set pattern. I believe its a server thing but I'll post more if I stumble upon something tangible.
