Cool, thanks all. Yeah I lol'd too at the guy who said if you had searched more... I could know everything if I searched more I guess.

Did a little searching. Just wondering if this was legit. Maybe a headshot could cause this much damage? I'm not really sure how weapon damage works. Situation was: in the woods, low pop server, wasn't really scanning everything around but was moving fast. I had noticed a red chain right before this happened. Thanks for input.

Hmm, good point. Maybe I should just keep a hatchet. I never seem to run out of ammo and hide all the bodies! ;)

Thank you whoever killed me at NW airbase. I probably looked like I had a born to lose tattoo on my chest as I rolled onto the base at full speed with a white off-road truck and began firing my 240SAW haphazardly at zombies. I had been playing for a while with way too much gear and I never had enough room to try out other weapons. I will now look to liberate other players. I have helped out 2 so far. Logging in now to see if anyone else needs my help. :) Seriously, it is so much better to not get stuck out in the woods.

Where did it go? I left some beans on there. :)

I like them both. Each create anxiety and exciting game-play, but runners are a bit more intense and I think DayZ is going for that. Once they no longer hit/glitch through walls and whatnot and players up their skill level and/or team up to stave off death I think slow moving would not be enough of a challenge. Maybe if cities were just awash in zombies where players had to group in order to clear massive amounts in order to get to food. That could be interesting although a bit mmoish.

I have not used flares pre-1721 but I'm seeing that it is very dark at night and lighting a flare somehow improves my vision after I extinguish it.

The only thing that is different for me that has not been mentioned (or I failed to notice)... 1) I logged into an older version of my character (one that has been killed) 2) and when I first logged in I seemed to be moving through walls. It was much darker than usual at night, but maybe the sky was cloudier? not sure Overall feeling pretty stable aside from slow item spawning.

Looks promising. I'd like to see a comprehensive list for the server settings. Sometimes I am hunting crashed helis and I want waypoints on maps, but not maps that show people around you because I am expecting to run into people.
