How did you consume the water? Best way to drink it is by using the PET bottle. For each ml of water it fills your stomach 0,5 ml. So you can drink twice as much because a water pump is 1/1ml.

Oh my God, infected babies? We're doomed! *hits F11*

Go to any of the big coastal cities and go sit in a house in the middle, you will notice the battle royale very quickly.

Introduction Hello fellow survivors, as we all know we have the Improvised backpack, weapons, tools, etc. It's time to go to the next level. Yes your eyes are not deceiving you, an Improvised Tent. It's an idea which already is on my mind and have been brainstorming about for quite a while. I even mentioned it before in an Experimental topic. Lately there has been a lot of work on the (natural) survival mechanisms, which is a good thing in a survival game. With all the existing and new surviving mechanisms an Improvised Tent can not be left out! I will explain in this topic about my idea and how it could work. Feel free to brainstorm with me and give idea's. Please also give your opinions but at least construct them with arguments. Let's stop this nonesense and talk about the idea self, shall we? 2. The Improvised Tent Everyone would love to be able to put some extra loot away in a container, could be for a short period of time or a long. An Improvised Tent is the exact answer we're looking for, easy to set-up if you know how. So, easy to build and of course easy to break off, which makes it perfect for temporary or longer containers. I'm sure you're thinking that it will be game breaking if it's so easy to build. The easier it is to build, the smaller the tent, in size and space as well. It perhaps doesn't make a lot of sense to you now but this will be explained in 4. Upgrading variations. The Impvrovised Tent will be hard to spot as well because of the natural components. Are you already excited for the crafting part? 3. Crafting My idea was to make the Improvised Tent like a fireplace. It will be used as a kit to have different upgrades/variations of an Improvised Tent. To make the basic kit you need to make a floor cover (credits to: CREDIDRED @ YouTube) which will be made out of 1 Tanned Leather and 4 Sticks. This will give you the Tanned Leather with 4 Sticks poking in the corner on the ground. In your vicinity it will show "Improvised Tent" or "Improvised Tent Kit". It will provide a few storage spaces which can be discussed, I would say 8 to 12 would be fair. In the end instead of packing it you can just break it down into the materials again. Now where do we go from here? Right, the upgrading and variation part. 4. Upgrading/variations The more items you can add, the bigger your tent gets obviously. By adding (more) rope, more tanned leather and more sticks you get different tents and the tents grow. There will be a maximum on this of course to balance things out and a tent shouldn't have too much space. So each stage needs more items and has more space. The balance of these items, the capacity, the size and the several forms/stages can be discussed about. I wish I was better at drawing so I could make some stages and show it to you guys. Explaining it can be difficult, I'll try to find some images and perhaps edit this point later. 5. Optional options/idea's/variations I will put in all suggestions and idea's concerning the Improvised Tent (Kit) in this section. Of course I will only add the things which will add something to my idea. If you think your suggestion or idea is in fact good but isn't in here then send me a PM and we can discuss things out. 5.1.

There is enough forest, trust me. Some are so big that I sometimes start to question myself if I'm going in the correct direction. But trust me there is enough forest. If you want I can take you to one *evil laugh*. :D

Really depends on a lot of factors: location, surroundings, target, purpose, etc. Never tried the SVD yet but if I need to make an "one shot, one kill" kill then I'll use the Winchester. However for silent sniping I think the Sporter is best. It doesn't do the trick with 1 bullet but think about what you can do to a target whenever you hit the person in the legs, total annihilation. I certainly wouldn't count out the AKM with Kasthan scope either. If you have a drum mag and a silencer it's very, very deadly.

Well, numerous of ways. I was at some tower once and asked the other player at home "Can I fall through these railings?" "No you can't" "Well... er... you can it seems". Then there was the time I tried to jump from a roof on a tower but jumped too far (didn't rage but laugh at that). The first time I died, I actually remember very well. It was at the time I got these constant "No message received", "BattlEye client not responding", etc. I logged out in a barn with those 2 platforms and logged-in the day after and saw a zombie downstairs. I got in but got kicked due to "BattlEye client not responding". When I got back in the zombie was attacking me and went unconscious. When I came back and wanted to kill him, went unconscious again. Until a moment when I woke up and the zombie pushed me off the platform. But the most frustrating of them all is actually "a suicide" due to a graphical glitch/desync. I was at NWAF and was climbing one of those radio towers which spawned scopes, etc. When done looting it I grabbed the ladder. Suddenly my character suddenly appeared a few meters further in the air falling and I was like "WTF IS HAPPENING?! :|". But I thought lucky for me I'm falling towards the ladder and thought "Hey, maybe I can grab the ladder and save my ass". So I pressed 'F' and then suddenly was on the ladder and thought "F*ck yeah, pulled it off". Only to see my character fall immediately down and die. Gone very first and only M4A1 I have had which I got by shooting one of my first kills. That time I did rage, trust me!

Which AK are we talking about? I have a 75 drum mag and a 30 mag for the AKM. Found another drum mag yesterday but only took the ammo. AKM mags are harder to find, I agree but AK74 mags are plentiful. AK101 mags are nowhere to find but I never check choppers because "You are dead". :)

So you want a game to decide for you what items are important and which one are not? You think it's realistic when you take an AK out of your backpack (which is already unrealistic), it stays actually in there? It doesn't fit in there and you want to take another item in your hands. So what do you do? Exactly, you put your current item on the ground and take the other item in the hand. It drops the gun because there is no place to store it. Just how you would do it in real life. And when you go along and do something else you think "shit, my item".

Play a bit with the HDR and the post processing settings. Check which makes it better, I'm sure it's one of those.

Behold, the pistol holster:

Yeah, guess it is a render eror either client-sided or server-sided.

There you go, taken from the exact same location and angle. :)

I'll go and check out the location right now. It will take a while for me to get there though. I will report back in like an hour.

I don't have the problem with the shininess of buildings. I don't know about that one in the picture though. Where is it taken? My guess is either Cherno, Elektro or Berezino. Which is the exact location where the picture was taken? I will check it out if I have this problem as well.

It's an island on the sea which is located between the south of Kamenka and Komarovo. Here is an image of it on the map:

Now a strong tip to everyone: FPS is not only calculated by your gfx. DayZ ran kind of bad for me so I started tweaking the settings. It turned out that I got the same FPS with everything maxed out and everything toned down. It was actually my processor which was outdated and was the cause of the problem. Now I have an 8-core processor and DayZ runs like a smooth baby with almost everything maxed out.

It can be annoying, yes. But this is more realistic and in my opinion it's better this way. I lost a pistol to this as well, it is frustrating but it's your fault. Since then, I'm very careful and I never lost another item. I always make sure I have space when I'm looting.

I think it is either HDR or Postprocess. Do you have the latest driver for your gfx?

Which gun are we talking about? I only had this problem with the Mosin on the Experimental build. That's why I ignore Mosin's. Never happened to me with another weapon though. Filed a bug report a while ago: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=25326

I found the holster but can't remember where. Need to memorize these things. Perhaps it was on Prison island or at a guard house.

Watch it from inside or outside of a building? And what do you exactly mean with inclined? The shininess of the buildings is because of your options.

It does use reserved slots. When I use my handgun or drink from my bottle it automatically places those items back at the original place. Even when there is space somewhere else, for me it always places them back from my hands in the original space.

I guess this is Google translated? I can't make any sense of it, sorry. Where are you from or which language do you speak? Perhaps I or someone who speaks your language can help you.

Hunting scope: Deer stands Modular ballistic vest: What are those? You mean the vests which spawn at guard house and prison building? AK74 mag: Guard house, prison building, some HMWWV, some police stations, some tanks, etc.
