I agree that we should have the walkie and a battery as starting items. It would encourage more off-the-coast interaction.

I am in full support of this. From my experience the people renting public servers are mostly those who want a safe space to loot. Removing the option to rent public servers will significantly reduce the amount of "badmins" running servers. I can't tell you how many times I have been kicked from a server because I killed the admin or his friend.

QQ. That is all.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but we find plenty of empty cans and tins around in loot... But why not make one drop or generate in your inventory when you drink a coke or eat a can of beans? This would leave evidence or a trail of trash for a group and would make eating such meals a risky decision if you are trying to avoid a group of bandits deep in the wilderness. Makes canteens and meat even more desirable too, and I like that idea.

Live it. Love it. +1

I for one, invite the Yogscast and their noob followers to come visit me in the NW Airfield to learn a REAL lesson about DayZ.

Using the Steam overlay trick can cause menu glitches in-game. Just hold W like a man.

Confirmed as well.

Yeah, there is a way to get it back... Go looting again. Don't go prone on stairs and don't climb ladders with you pistol drawn, until they are in the changelog for an update, avoid doing these things. Rocket is aware of them, you are not the only person to die from random glitches due to being prone. I died trying to stand up the the bathroom of the barracks at the NW airfield. Cause 10000 damage, broke my legs, and I passed out (and subsequently bled out)... I had GPS, Toolbox, AKS-74 Kobra, MP5SD6, PDW, and much more. It's an alpha, don't expect to keep any of this stuff. For all you know, the next big update might require starting everyone at a clean slate due to a new feature (hope this never happens, but Rocket has the right to do it, this is a mod we have paid nothing for).

You need to break the glass with bullets or melee. Only way out.

This is an error with there being a split/second of swimming before you enter because your boat is in deep water. Try parking your boat on more solid ground and make sure you always use the 'get out' option, never 'eject'. PS: Small boats suck for transportation, find a PBX... Which can go 70km/h and basically un-beach itself.

Date/Time: 6/18/2012 approx 3:30am (GMT-7) What happened: Riding on PBX with friend on DE #49, server dropped all players after a 90 second "No message received..." error. Now friend and I are stuck on black "loading" screen connecting to any server. Where you were: Near the coast around Niznhoye, but still pretty far from shore. I was passenger of PBX, friend was driving. What you were doing: Sailing to refuel South of Solichny. *Current installed version: 1.7.0 (no beta patch) *Server(s) you were on: DE #49, various servers running 1.7.0 were attempted for reconnecting. *Your system specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5GHZ 8GB DDR2 RAM nVidia GTX 550TI *Timeline of events before/after error: Got in PBX, picked up friend, switched seats, then rode for 10 minutes before "no message received" began.

Finally was able to get into a server, feel free to delete this thread mods.

If nothing, it at least adds to the realism. The more I think about it, I feel it should just alter the item to the empty version of itself, which could then be dropped or used as zombie distraction.

May I suggest you try Jurassic: The Hunted or Turok to see how bad that idea can be.

Dallas 41 has been a notorious server of problems for my group and I. I avoid most of the Dallas servers in general as I have been kicked for suspicious reasons several times (ping too high? From SEA?) and run into several hackers there.

I find their lack of education disturbing...

I won't miss it, sometimes those chats were more troll-tastic than 4chan. Keeping it to direct keeps the game on topic and prevents noobs from making themselves a target.

Reminds me of my second spawn ever, managed to be bleeding on the outskirts of Cherno and a passerby bandaged me with barely any conversation and went on his way.

-1 the "classes" of DayZ are what you make yourself out to be. Not what you choose to spawn as.

Banicks: "It isn't rocket science." Oh, but it IS!

You need to take more risks and hit bigger buildings up OP. I'm a veteran, and after a recent respawn on the new system, I have to say it isn't really that hard to get going again. However, the first 30 minutes before gathering serious defense can be very tense.

I like it.
