Blackheart 5.56

I died from hypothermia for the first time in ages yesterday. Luckily had a barrel with me so stopped and filled it up, then dropped my hunter backpack and tried to make a fire, fell unconscious just as I was trying to light it. Waited to see if I would wake up but died about 5 min later. Got a good respawn and was back to my stuff in about 15 minutes. Funny thing is it was not raining before hand. Think I put on some damp clothes but was running around at the time so should have warmed up. Noticed later back at camp that it was "raining" while the sun was out (not unusual irl) but there was no sound of rain, nor visual rain falling, but if I looked closely at a truck or my backpack I could see rain sheeting off of it. Filled up a couple of canteens in this condition, figured it was a bug of some sort, and combined with not having on rain gear or a gorka earlier, was what contributed to the hypothermia.

I found a single infected in the usual place (at the beginning of Novo, near the Humvee) yesterday night. Slowed down to admire the sight, and he glitched through the truck front to back. Once at the back of the truck he got up in the cargo area. I tried to drive off with him, thinking it would be cool to drive him around with me, but he kept falling out the back. He eventually ended up standing on top of the cab of the truck. Took some screen shots and then left him there. No graphics issues but then I didn't get out of the truck.

I had a fireplace the other day with rocks around it, a cooking tripod and cooking pot. Broke it all down later, including the tripod.

That would work but let's get some Javelin missile systems spawning at NATO heli crashes. Add a little pizzazz to the game! While we're at it, once base building and barricading is in let's have some AT4-CS in game as well. Heck I'd even settle for RPG's.

I see model 70 rifles all over the place. Mostly I imagine, because I am not looking for them and don't want one. I mostly see them in houses... pretty much all types. Have also seen .308 ammo to a much lesser extent in two story houses.

Sometimes you just need to take a break and relax a little bit. :P

I've found a few AKM's but not a single AK-101 anywhere, even after server restarts. AK-101 mags I have seen, along with 5.56 ammo.

I would like to see more AKM's in the game. I would argue that as a post Soviet state, it should be swimming in AKM's. Although in all fairness many would have been replaced with the AK-74 and AK101. Lot's of SKS's all over the place, seems pretty realistic as well as I'm sure many were relegated to the home guard and ceremonial duty. Agree an AKM would be very popular during an apocalypse. Hell they are popular right now. I have 9 AK variants and 2 RPK's, all in 7.62x39. Had a Khyber Pass AK-74 build and also a Bulgarian Krink but sold those off.

I would like to see an ATV in the game. 800cc variety that will take 2 up and pillion rider can shoot while mounted. Maybe a rack in front and back that can hold gear or a gas can or two.

Since I discovered crawling zombies I've mostly only been trying to make them crawlers, not kill them. Success ratio has not been spectacular but the ones that do crawl I leave alive. Kind of like a zombie bread crumb trail.

Having mods will be great. I think I played vanilla Skyrim for 2-3 days before I started modding the ever loving bejesus out of it. Hard to imagine playing vanilla again. DayZ may well be the same in the future.

I concur with everything you said. Awesome that they are going to include single player, and that we will be able to host our own servers at some point. And mod support. Can't wait!

Same here. I was actually wondering when I was gonna need to start carry water purification tablets. Guess I've been lucky so far. Wells are plentiful enough that I'll probably just start planning my routes around them. In case of Cholera I like the stash your stuff, suicide and run back idea. No persistence though so better hope there's no server reset before you get back to your stuff!

Also found one in a shed but near Zelenogorsk. Someone mentioned hunting sheds and I've been checking them religiously but no joy in those locations.
