Problematic

Also found worth the story much reading, I did.

Because the trick about being the ultimate survivalist is not dying.

I don't really think it's meta-gaming anyway - if you come across houses with wide open doors in a post-apocalyptic setting I would assume the houses were empty regardless of the situation. Allthough, now I think about it if people died in their houses I can't imagine their walking corpses shutting the door behind their dead asses so it would actually make sense that a portion of the doors would be standing open. So I'm finding myself going for the third option and feeling this is one of the most useless posts I created so far on this forum :P

One on the regular servers, one on the hardcore. That's the two possibilities at this moment :) Won't be likely to change until they (if they even are) are going to support private servers.

Fix'd.

Yes because the entire development team is working on ONE issue together, that's smart game-making! God, when are people gonna realize (or just read on this forum) that adding new content does not mean the current bugs aren't being worked on whatsoever. They have a whole team to their disposal of people with different expertises, you can't expect all of them to drop everything and focus on one bug that half of them probably won't even understand unless you want this game finished around 2093.

Protip: Sprint and look all the way up and down again using ALT to run like a drunk pirate!

I think he means like a abandoned refugee center that used to be defended by military, not some kind of area where people would be safe. Would be somewhat realistic as I can imagine those kind of places being set up if kind of thing were to happen. Depends on speed of the outbreak though. But I wouldn't implement something like this until the game is ready to offer somewhat more of a threat, Zombie-wise. And I also believe they have these kind of things planned for endgame, but wouldn't expect it to come in fast.

1. I love it when people try to apply logic to fantasy. Zombies aren't real, who is to say how smart/concentrated/able with their bodies they will be IF the - and I'd say it's pretty damn unlikely - Zombie Apocalypse ever occurs. So not a valid reason, you could say you don't like it if they had the motor skills to do some of those kind of things. In most Zombie media they can't climb ladders though so you could also say they should stick to the general canon about Zombies/Undead. 2. This is even a more absurd point, how about the first one to reach it and start climbing? 3. Valid point, I'd like a situation like this and have often ran for a ladder for safety myself. Would love to come across a totally surrounded building and weighing the risk to save a survivor or not. I personally agee with the topic point though, stairs should be climbed (as now already happens in rare occasions) but not ladders. One of the main reasons imo is what's stated above, you could take care of basically every-sized zombie herd by running up a ladder and hacking away at the exit point of said ladder.

Raising your fists and sprinting is the new bike.

This is actually true. Randomly spawned as a girl last night and wanted to kill myself but no rocks in sight so I decide to run up to 2 military geared dudes trying to get shot (mic was temporarily not working), raising my arms and all that. They only started shooting when I started trying to punch one of them in head.

One of these days I won't be able to keep up with the updates here.

/thread Has been discussed over and over, more weapons will come.

Say you have 12 bullets and 1 speedloader. If you put the 6 bullets in the speedloader and then in the revolver you've got to reload the 6 remaining bullets manually after shooting the speedloader empty. Say you put in the 6 bullets in manually, you can easily reload the speedloader from your backpack very fast if things get heated (firefights/lots of zeds) using the primary action button. So yes, it has a use.

^ The mechanic is broken anyhow because you're not supposed to drink water directly out of lakes/ponds without getting sick. I presume they kept it in because it's impossible to boil water germ-free at this moment. But for now it's a easy way to drink up a lot. And when you do find a pump/body of water, drink untill stuffed - it will take longer to get thirsty afterwards.

Hello, Both today and yesterday I encountered 2 Hardcore servers (1PP view) which actually load your character from the Regular's characters database. I've tested this out multiple times. I've already submitted this to the bugtracker, the reason I am reporting this here too is to warn people from going on those servers. The first is: (Public/3PP:OFF) - 114557 NIGHT of the Dead - GMT+1 IP: 173.199.111.155:2302 Second is: (Public/3PP:OFF) - 114557 DayZ Jessycraft IP: 173.199.111.27:2302 Edit; just found out how to report this to the the providers using their IP, will be doing that now.

That would be awesome! I hope something like that is technically possible.

OP has a crush on Dean.

I actually felt the same way as OP when I started, but after a few hours playing standalone I realized the zombie number is just that low and now I sprinting all over the big cities dealing with the zombies using just an axe. So no, less zombies is actually less :( Makes the players all the more scary though.

Sooo, you made a video showing yourself using 3PP view to look at a dead person behind a wall? What exactly is your point? I do not see any combat logging whatsoever in this video... :emptycan:

There are random zombie noises sometimes, I think it's mostly due to server lag or something. It does certainly not come from animals however as they are not in the game yet ;) Except some birds and rabbits, but that's just pixels.

Somewhere in the near future you're gonna regret creating this topic. Probably right after the moment you get shot on sight by someone you didn't even notice. But in all siriousness I don't have to make any effort at all to encounter players in a high populated server. Just go to one of the bigger cities (Cherno/Elektro/Berez) or military bases, you're bound to run into someone.

^ Lol, you got killed because you went AFK and blame it on the perspective you played in? What part of that story couldn't have happened in a 3PP server? To OP: Sort server list on game-mode, only play top/bottom servers - fixed! I like the separation of both characters between game modes. Really can't see any downsides to it. If you want to play 1PP only you know you're gonna only encounter players who deliberately chose to play that game-style (and same goes for 3PP I guess). There are a lot of servers to choose from so you're not limited in any way whatsoever.

Agree with a lot of points. Don't really get this one though; So if I understand correct - you want to put the Long-Range scope in normal houses and think less people will have snipers?? I think it's really the other way around when LRS's spawn all over the place. Also since the last patch M4 attachments have become a lot more rare, you want them to spawn even less? Haven't found a single one for a few hours looking for them. I normally just did a military tent camp run to outfit my M4 but since they don't spawn loot anymore i'ts become a lot harder.
