Yeah, but his death was a 'legit' one, from the sounds of it.

I think you must be famous or something.. ..for being one of the few rare people who manage to die of dehydration. Even the nearest town -- or the town after at most -- tends to have more than one can of soda. How do you die without finding one? --- As for how to transfer items without them disappearing; Basically you just go to your gear/backpack and drop it. Sometimes items glitch, so it's better to drop it into a pre-existing loot pile. So it's good to find an item -- any item -- lying around, and drop it onto that.

That would be ideal but the netcode of the ARMA 2 engine doesn't allow log-out delays.

Happens all the time. It's server lag. Kinda like how it is with hit-detection, but it's all safe. If you spam a couple clicks per item and just leave, most of the time you will get them later on. i do that a lot with tools and weapons. Just middle-mouse-click to pick up, and instantly start moving when the animation lets you. They'll appear on you later.

Standalone; Independent 1. not dependent; not contingent or depending on something else That said, DayZ standalone will use only assets you get by buying the DayZ standalone. There is currently no existing or announced DLC for the standalone version of DayZ.

I think most, if not all of the DayZ veterans are able to move around in Chernarus without a map because of the simple fact of HOW MUCH TIME we've spent on it. I for sure don't even bother with a compass, and tend to pick up the Map just for the sake of picking it up, even if I don't need it.

Here, let me use my translator: "Why is it that the maps in DayZ, as well as the location in the bottom-left corner of you screen when you spawn is written in Russian? As in, why are they Russian names?"

Hit detection is integrated to the ARMA 2 engine, not DayZ. We can do nothing about it. Get a better connection, play on faster servers. And hit-detection is local, so even if it lags, hitting someone isn't hard because as long as you hit them on your screen, it will hit them eventually.

It's an example. Just because you're supposed to aim for the face, that doesn't mean you can make the damage so low that body-shots are useless.

For some good while now, Rocket(The main dev for DayZ) has allowed people to host servers with private hives, but it used to be so that every server was connected to the DayZ hive server. So what is the difference? A private hive has its own database. Everything that happens on that server is exclusive and specific to that server alone. For example, things like your character, gear, and position. The DayZ hive in the other hand, keeps track of every server it's connected to. If you're playing on server A that is connected to DayZ hive, and log out to join server B, you will spawn where you were last time and have all the same gear as you did in the last server. But if you join private hive server C, you will start with a new character. And no matter what you do in that server, your DayZ hive or other private hive servers are unaffected.

The standalone will be entirely independent from everything else, so Rocket pretty much will re-adjust everything as he sees fit, and will most definitely be able to change the values if the community feels they are unbalanced. So I doubt you'll have to worry about needing to put 6 .45 caliber bullets into someone's chest to just knock them out.

Well if you start coughing, your blood level will lower to about half. (6000) I don't know if a flashing temperature icon means you're slowly losing health as it never happened to me back when we did have the debug screen, and now you just can't tell. Then again, every other flashing icon besides the new G17 combat-indicator means that you're slowly dying. You should look up a server by Fx6. It's a public server with a private hive that's running Namalsk. I've found -some- food there, more than enough antibiotics for one, and plenty of weapons. I personally recommend it, and it's my "home" for now.

Old post from http://dayzmod.com/f...__440#entry6898 . I think this seems to fit pretty well. Edit; What I mean by posting that quote, is; If you want to roleplay a humanoid hamster, nobody should tell you not to. On a serious note, though; It's a perma-death game. The reason why looting and scavenging is so common along with camps is that it makes the start of the game a whole lot easier, assuming you have a reliable spot for your camp.

I haven't noticed -any- german in the Radio Chatter. Just a whole bunch of Russian. But I don't blame them. Too many people already crap on Russians for different reasons, so I won't bother. (And I'm a Finn.)

This'll be fixed in the standalone, I believe. Pretty much what Fraggle said.

Thank you for asking instead of assuming. I'm expecting a crapload of people coming to the forums and complaining about how the game is still clearly unfinished. Standalone =/= Full release (=/= means 'does not equal', for the uneducated.) The December release will still be just an Alpha. DayZ will be developed the same way as Minecraft. Sold cheap in Alpha stage, the price gradually getting higher and all future updates and patches will be entirely free. Edit; And I'm posting this despite the fact that I saw Fraggle's post before even starting to type. Because my explanation is superior. >:C

Download DayZ Commander. http://www.dayzcommander.com/ When you intall it, there's a simple tab for updates and patches, and you can pick any version of DayZ and ARMA 2, even the individual builds and just hit install.

In Namalsk, your priority shouldn't be weapons. Your priority shouldn't be food. Your priority SHOULD be Warm Clothes. They keep you warm, and blend you into the environment in tall grass quite nicely. Edit; In other words, you will freeze your balls of if you haven't already.

The thing with canned foods and drinks is, though, that they last for several years. This one can of tuna I have sitting in my kitchen right now won't expire for the next 15 years unopened. Drinks don't last as long, I think, but they still take a long time to expire.

Kill yourself. No, really. It's fixed now. A new life will revert your humanity to 0.

So wait. Will you -actually- be able to take clothing off of zombies you've killed? On-topic, though, I think that's a pretty damn interesting and exciting idea!

It's not an MMO. 20-50 people on the same server is not massive. And like you said, it's a simulator. You don't see from behind your back in real life. So even if Rocket DID remove third person, it would be justified. (But it's not being taken out.)

It's not an entirely new type of ban. It existed even before DayZ. (As far as I know.)
