Me and my roommate have been sharing characters because of the inability to make more than one. It sucks logging out, going to bed, and waking up to find your character is dead. We both feel the burn. I support this idea and I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to make more than one character.

That lag you're experiencing is from the six launcher. Once you've started connecting to a server, turn the 6 launcher off. As for resolution and display settings, these can all be adjusted in the advanced video menu in the arma 2 options. You can access all that while on DayZ. I run a machine with lower specs than yours and the game runs just fine even on higher settings.

Agreed. Perhaps it can be a point of DayZ to have "seasons" where regular wipes occur every other month or so to level the playing field. Maybe make it the goal to be at the top of the leaderboard in zombie kills at the end of each "season".

That's how I've started seeing this game.

I found antibiotics in a hospital for the first time after 50+ hours of play. When do you use those? I'm not sure if I've suffered any symptoms that required them.

I was killed by a couple bandits shortly after. Four times in under an hour. Killed one of them with an axe and now I have an alice pack +full stock weapons/food/meds, but the one holding my antibiotics disconnected to avoid death. He was bleeding pretty bad though. lol...with an axe and nothing else...

Boo this man.

To clarify: by multiple uses I mean a number of times, not ways to be used. I've noticed that some items don't seem to have real world application in mind. Example: When I'm in pain, I don't swallow the whole bottle of pills. When I need to light a fire, I use a match and it's gone. I suggest making it so you start with a number of pain pills and when you pick up more you can combine them all into one bottle. Make uses dosages. Say maybe a limit of 5 doses per "stacked" bottle of painkillers. This same concept could be applied to other items like bandages. I can hold a car engine, or 8 pieces of cloth. That doesn't make much sense. I probably don't have to mention it either, but steel bolts. Quiver. Nuff' said. Also, why is it I can use matches forever? I think 10 uses per pack is perfectly acceptable. People should have to look for matches more than once. They should be a commodity on some level. And in a slightly unrelated note: Make 12 guage ammo 12 guage ammo. Not "12 guage Winchester" "12 guage Dbl Barrel" etc. There is nothing more annoying right now than seeing that precious winchester ammo only to find out it's a 2rd slug.

Agreed. I have a real canteen. It holds about 30oz of liquid. There's a lot of stuff this can be applied to. Probably things I haven't even found yet.

I've never heard this before, but I always log out while I'm in a building and usually when I come back a few hours later/the next day it's a mixed bag. I don't think this could really be though because think of how much that can break the game for others who just spent an hour running across the map only to have someone log in and make all the loot go poof.

I posted this exact idea in the suggestions forum a few days ago. It was explained to me there that this is an arma 2 limitation, not DayZ.

Shucks.

Check barns. 1 in 3 barns is nearly guaranteed to have a weapon. Hope for the Winchester. Settle for the Dbl Barrel. Pray it's not an Enfield.

The DMR stands out best for me. I've found literally 100's of DMR bullets, but not a single actual DMR.

If you can see their face, they can see yours. This is a simple concept of reality.

Using 3rdp does not make you a noob. Doing things the hard way doesn't make you better at the game. You are only limiting yourself. If anyone is getting items on a 3rdp server just to swap to a 1stp server they're pretty stupid. No one does that. Only people who play 1stp exclusively would even think of that as a "strategy", but then they're not even being exclusive or "HxC" (lol) anymore. The point of the game is to get items and kill zombies. So really you're just worried that other people will have an advantage over YOU because YOU like to limit yourself. Feel free to limit yourself on your "expert" servers so you can claim your "HxC" crown. Me and the "noobs" will be over here in the 3rdp servers...having fun without you, and not caring about the problems of your corrupted little "HxC" community.

I can't believe I have to explain this to someone... Where is your logic here? I think it is you who underestimates the potential of people. People band together for survival. Fucking duh. They've been doing it for thousands of years. Strength in numbers. How do you think you get a family' date=' a village, a state, or a nation? Human survival isn't about you and your problems, it's about living [i']to preserve the goddamned species. There would be murders, but not on the scale of 50% of living people. People wouldn't sit outside of a military camp and shoot live people for fun or because they were "bored". That's complete nonsense.

You get bit. You get infected. You either: Find the anti-virus in under 12 hours or Become a zombie. You now have the option to roam the streets and attempt to infect other players or refresh to respawn a new character leaving your shell zombie body behind to roam as AI (also carrying your items in your backpack!). Keep in mind I feel you'd have to be bit first to become infected, not just hit by a zombie. Perhaps only when you're knocked unconscious and they start eating you would you become infected. I've survived this scenario several times to just heal up and roam around like nothing ever happened. Make the anti-virus rare and hard to find. Like only 1 or 2 per hospital, or only have it spawn on military areas. Maybe make it something you need more than one item to combine. And of course it would only work on still living flesh. Once a zombie always a zombie. Thoughts?

Honestly, I was a little surprised when I found out there was no feature like this in the game.

You're assuming the point of the game is to collect items. It's not. It's to survive for as many days and take down as many of the rotten bastards as you can.

People would not do in real life what they do in the game. Not even close.

The problem with pk's isn't the fact that they happen. It's the fact that they happen so much that now people just shoot on sight. Especially now that no one can communicate in side chat. In the past week out of the 8 lives I've had in game 5 deaths were to other players. 3 before I even saw them. I don't fear the zombies.
