I stopped a 2 month long Day Z binge a few months ago due to work, grad school, and new games that have peaked my interest. Has anything changed since then? If so, what?

It's nice that people are more willing to not be dicks, but a few months ago it was barb wire and dead soldier bodies that caused glitches.

Every so often in the game I hear church bells or some sort of bell ringing. What is this noise? What triggers it?

Don't forget: Diabetes AIDS Cancer Obesity Stubbed toes Hangnails Pink-eye Scurvy Hemorrhoids Diarrhea Botulism Insanity Schitzophenia Blindness Deafness Limb amputations Sexual frustration STDs Male Pattern Baldness Menstrual cycles for female characters Unplanned pregnancies The common cold

To make it ultra-realistic your body type should be randomized at respawn. You can be a fat diabetic who needs to find insulin or you will slip into a coma, or you can be a fit, athletic person. Or something in between.

To be super realistic it should take 6-8 weeks of game time to fully heal.

Night in game, not peak hours or anything like that. The game used to run fine at night for me, but now it is so choppy/laggy that it is unplayable. What is going on?

If "bikeys" is your super mature way of saying bicycle, then you are wrong, there are bicycles.

There is a random chance to get botulism when eating canned food. There is a random chance to get horribly sick when drinking water. All water must be boiled at a campfire before consumption. Weapons jam. Zombies can run full speed indoors. Your shooting/aiming skill is on par with someone who has never held or fired a gun before. Hardcore realism. Deal with it.

Does the game get really laggy at night for people? Servers that run fine during their daylight hours run very slow for me at night.

Yup, I found it, and three others just like it.

Don't know if it was mentioned before, but how about either a mophine shot, or 4 bandages will heal a broken leg? If you break your leg without any morphine you better hope you're in one of the few places that spawn morphine. With the four bandage method, you get a penalty with reduced pistol ammo, and if you break your leg you'll have a slightly better chance finding the supplies needed to fix the problem. Perhaps also make it take a set period of time or so to fully heal where you cant move or shoot.

Two cowards have logged off to keep me from killing them in the past day. One idea would be to implement a 10/20/or even 30 second countdown timer to log off. If you alt-f4 quit, your character will remain on the server for a minute.

I believe that is the case. Arma II has no melee option as far as I know. You would think they would HAVE to implement some sort of melee weapon system for the final version of the game. Melee weapons have been a key part of the canon of zombie apocalypse movies/games/literature since the beginning. Day Z without a melee weapons system would be a bit of a failure in my opinion.

Not true. Admins roll back the time on their servers quite frequently. A majority of servers probably don't even have a full night/day cycle ever.

It makes sense that bulletproof vests/riot gear/ballistic helmets would be available, rare, and highly prized items in a post-apocalyptic world. You'd think that appease the realism freaks but judging by this thread I guess not.

This is a ridiculous idea. If I was ever "blindfolded" by another player, I'd just force a respawn and so would 99.99% of other players. This is sillyness. I just noticed that 3 pages have been used to discuss this insane idea. Wow.

Oh this flame fest should be exciting. I'm gonna get some popcorn...

nevermind this post!

This happened to me on a server yesterday. This and my current position/direction showed up for the first time. Why is this? What is the name of this option? Also, there are a few things marked on my map via the click and type at the circled x option. Some in English, some in Russian. Are these markings from other players? I'm pretty sure I was the first person to pick up the map after it spawned.

The game is far too easy... 1. You start the game two miles off of the coast. If you make it, good for you, if not, too bad. 2. If you reach land, you must find food immediately or die, but when you do you immediately vomit it up because your stomach is not used to the sustenance. 3. You have a chance twist your ankle and severely slow your travel by running through thick brush/the woods/running down/up hills. 4. One hit by a zombie you're done. Realism bro. 5. Guns can jam, and they do, all of the time. 6. Canned food has a chance to give you botulism. 7. Canned soda has a chance to explode in your face and cause temporary blindness. 8. You have a chance to get sick every time you drink water from a non filtered source. 9. Get rid of zoom and 3rd person. 10. If you die it's game over, the game uninstalls itself and your IP is blocked from all servers. One game, one life. Hardcore. Deal with it newbs.

Good point. When you urinate it should attract zombies, when you poo it should require some sort of paper or else you risk infection. Harcore. Deal with it newbs.

Regardless of my previous mockery of the mod/community. I just want to say that I love this mod and wish it the best in all of its envevors, I think/hope it is a major bellwether of the gaming world. I just don't want the community to be the death of it.

Brilliant. Ultra rare spawn too.

realism, hardcore, newbs, realism, hardcore, newbs. realism, hardcore, newbs.
