Yep that sounds about right for Dayz lol. A game where you have to peel a potato before you can bake it, can die of thirst in a rainstorm, chopped down trees fall with their roots intact, mindless infected instantly know all alternate entrances into the building you shut yourself in but only if they are open and an armband made from a waterproof raincoat becomes drenched in the rain... so it's to be expected😉

Yeah i'd heard about that... seems crazy too

You need to put water in the radiator. The car may show the water level as full in a normal world, but this is dayz world and as such most vehicles have this dial backwards. If the needle is pointing right the radiator is empty, pointing left and it is full. You need to be at least half full of water to not damage the engine. The gasoline dial works correctly (right full, left empty).

Yeah it is toggled... by pressing down on dpad twice. Which let's face it, is usually the first thing you do when accessing any inventory lol

Well personally i never used the dpad. My thumb is already on the analogue stick, kinda crazy to move it to another button to perform the exact same actions as the analogue stick (always used to) and far less fluently. However you can use the dpad but as already pointed out this now turns voice chat on so your name flashes above your character. This is visible to all other players in the vicinity, even through walls and other objects. So now you cannot interact with inventories in the presence of potential enemies while hidden without giving your position away using either option lol!

It works on the PC. However when you use a controller you use the left stick to navigate the item menus and the face buttons on the right of the controller to perform actions on them. Therefore allowing your character to move in game space in the same direction as the cursor moves in the menu means you have no control over it and end up moving away from the body and loot you are trying to interact with! Intentionally trying to be a moving target will result in the exact same cursor movements in your menu meaning you cannot select anything! If you hide in a bush to manage your inventory you end up 20ft away from it by the time you finish. The right stick will also navigate the menus but you can't then use the buttons at the same time making drag and drop impossible; needing a face button to be pressed and held, cursor moved and then button released. This is impossible to do with just the right hand. The dpad can also navigate the menus but now it turns on and off voice chat and your characters position is given away by flashing your name above you on the screen. If this was intentional someone needs slapped!

^^ nope, exactly the same on console

How do you know they were white? Would racial supremacy be fine by you if they were any other skin colour? ... said a word in common usage amongst people of a certain skin colour, especially prevalent in a certain type of music. Maybe these players were of that skin tone and thus have a pass? Don't get me wrong i'm not defending racists, of any skin colour, but maybe it's best not to jump to conclusions... anyone is capable of being a twat.

^^ raincoats yeah, the only clothes that can be made into armbands, but their colours are limited. Also, how waterproof material suddenly turns into a moisture sponge when it becomes an armband is beyond me lol! Any clothing/flags able to be cut into armbands would be great.

i think the biggest problem with infected awareness is the complete lack of consistency. What works fine one moment doesn't always the next, so in effect you're rolling a dice whatever methods you employ.

i would like to have all sounds synched. Wolves, Bears, Deer, Helicopter crashes, ambient birdsound, even gunshots are all out of synch for different players standing only a few feet apart...

I've always managed to avoid or cure disease before. This one was caught by a member of our group and they have no idea how, quickly spread to 2 others myself included and anyone since coming in close contact. It keeps re-infecting despite being cleared with tetra and with no contact from anyone else. It spreads among players rapidly without coughing, sneezing or sharing food/water and despite all of us wearing face coverings. Never encountered anything like it before and i'd experienced all the sicknesses prior to this latest patch 1.15. Something else must be at play here rather than a frustrating but intentional newly added game mechanic? 😕

The sickness Yep, that's the one. Blurred vision, grunts of pain, puking, loss of food and water. Just seems once someone in the group has it, everyone gets it and it just reappears 5 mins after you get rid of it. Not enough medicine in the game to make it worth trying to stay alive.

Nobody should be banning hardware ids... hardware will just be sold on and innocent people who buy it hit by someone else's ban

A cold is a virus, not a symptom of low temperature. Should only be catching cold from other infected players.

yeah pathetic constant sickness is ruining the game... i don't have a problem with difficulty but when you don't have the slightest idea why you are constantly healing from sickness then getting sick again 5 mins later staying healthy is darned near impossible. Only definite way to cure sickness seems to be to deliberately kill your character and start a new one! Works great, until that character gets sick. Rinse/repeat. Boring.

no problem dealing with hunger or thirst but am sick and tired of constantly being sick (blurred vision, shakes, throwing up, take tetra, completely heal, eat, drink to fill stats and then the sickness starts again 5 minutes later) since 1.15

would be nice to be able to dabble with inventory too. Also access inventory while in a car... absolutely stupid that you can't even eat or drink, load mags or turn on/off nvgs etc while a passenger in a vehicle

Yep, you now require the equivalent of 3 full meals before hiking to the next town and you're starving when you arrive 😉

This is not the problem and we all know it...

I've never disinfected a bottle. Generally when health stats are high never needed to disinfect rags either...

Then you shouldn't pass out from shock, seeing as most of the time they knock you out you are totally unscathed when you come round

Dozens of official servers, many empty or 'temporary'. Crazy that they don't try to vary them a bit, with different features on/off in a few of them. At least they'll quickly find out what the players prefer and if reception is evenly mixed then it's all the better for some choice...

because only stacks of already neatly sawed planks can be made into planks by sawing them, unlike the piles of logs which are no different from the logs cut from trees which you can also saw into planks. Makes perfect sense in dayz logic eh?

multivitamins + keep all health stats in the white
