Less wasted ammo, yay! Thanks for everything devs/all!

Yup, maybe something like the plant material from farming would be the vegetation. We're still set to see a lot of survivaly stuff to be added. Shovel > cook pot > vegetable matter > tarp > mined rocks > small rocks Would recreate the above diagram nicely indeed.

I see your solar oven and raise you one solar still.

They will be able to destroy doors and barriers. They will cause infections from swiping you with dirty claws. Now imagine there's a horde with hive mind mechanics all attacking the house you ran to for safety. That's just some of the basic stuff on the back burner for infected. 8D People will also likely make mods with more deadly infected....

Accelerated time can be a bit weird and immersion breaking. Watching the shadows slide around you like someone is slowly circling you with a lamp is odd. The "flashes" of the transitions to night and dawn is jarring and immersion breaking. Growing crops in 15 minutes is immersion breaking. Currently I believe night time lighting is greatly improved from where it was not long ago, but accelerated time should likely be handled in a variety of ways across official and unofficial servers. Even bumping Gamma doesn't wash things out like it used to and the shadows are still pretty dark for me but extended night play can be tiring and after a while you crave color again.

^^^This is an insult? You sure are thin skinned. Hacking is the lowest form of gaming life, which you admitted to. Here's a real insult: You're obviously a moron bringing your empty trolling blocks of text here, which are as empty and withered as certain parts of your anatomy. Is that what you came here for, to a message board of hardcore fans of this game? For abuse? Have fun being really really ignorant, and really really idiotic. Go on to the next message board where you can vent your petty frustrations like a semi literate child devoid of debate or reading comprehension. I'll enjoy contributing and engaging to this great game and community. You're just forgotten troll #32,721 that comes on here to piss and moan with ill informed self important myopic drivel. Bye bye.

You first said you played games that had -20 hours even if they had little replay value which makes no sense. Then you contradicted yourself by trying to use games that DO have replay value as an example. Also, you definitely did not read all of my relatively short posts or internalize their meaning and merely cherry picked things ascribing your own meanings to my words to try to validate your weak stance here. This statement alone invalidates everything you say and makes having this conversation with you a lot like trying to discuss the current state of politics with a Trump supporter. Complete ignorance of the facts while voting against your best self interests (a really great game when it's done or say, universal health care). Also, hacking in any game, whether you still do or not, shows what kind of gamer you are at your core and makes me happy you won't be in DayZ. AND HEY MISTER INFORMED! YOU ONLY PAY ONCE FOR DAYZ.

Quick, cover up, you're showing your ignorance. Reviews were all we ever had back in the magazine days. If you didn't read reviews in game magazines prior to the web, you didn't get game news. There's just no way you can relate to what I quoted because maybe you are be too young to have lived this reality. Countless 8 bit and 16 bit games were sub 20 hours to beat and cost at least $35. If you spent more time playing these it's either because you weren't good at them or have low standards or some bizarre need to play a boring game just to say you got your monies worth.

Lambo's and Herpes!

So you've worked on game development and are rage posting but you are obviously poorly informed about how DayZ has been developed. This process has changed throughout in scope and breadth and only the most dedicated long term contributors have a truly global view of why things are they way they are in game. This is partly because communication from the devs has been lacking at times and partly because people pour 1,000's of hours into DayZ and can't be bnothered to take 1 hour to read about where it's heading. Rocket is still in contact with the team, by the way. Peter has also dedicated a lot of time to understanding Rockets vision when he was there and carries it forth quite handily. If you have 100's of hours, yeah you're full of shit, you enjoyed it, but don't understand Alpha, or the concept of iterating mechanics on an old test bed to later be merged with a new engine. Also, if $35 is too great of a weight to bear, you might want to start looking for a different line of work than the one you're in now. Years gone by, you bought a $35 cartridge based on a spotty review in a magazine and if you got more than 20 hours out of it you were lucky. When you're playing the finished game, I hope you feel a tinge of embarrassment when you realize how ignorant you were.

Some obvious possibilities? Castle Starý Západ Castle Yar Castle Starý Čechy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for the info! Enjoy your vacations! :D

It's important to keep in mind that no one person has complete control of DayZ SA. Peter worked closely with Rocket while he was at Bohemia to internalize the core concepts of his vision to be carried forth after his leaving. If you're looking for the lone wolfs' or true survivors biggest champion, I've always felt that person was Peter from pretty early on. DayZ SA has been an extremely difficult project to follow and if you haven't stayed glued to every status report and relevant dev post it has been easy to lose sight of the projects direction or even it's current status. A lot of people have 1,000's of hours playing a broken test bed but cannot take a few minutes every 2 weeks to read a report about the actual development, so trying to have meaningful discussions about the direction of the game becomes even more difficult. Anyway, patience and perspective is the key to understanding the building of anything. Try to use your DayZ time pragmatically to avoid meltdown or burnout. Remember there will be countless hours of feature complete DayZ to be played and that's what we are working towards.

There have been a number of threads and posts about this since the audio update. But people don't use the search function before posting, do they? After hearing some of the complaints I took note of the sound in my busy NYC neighborhood one afternoon. Traffic, loud construction, and you guessed it.... plenty of constant bird song. I'm just wondering why they don't go out into the Czech countryside with some microphones and build soundscapes from what they record....

Talking has more varied outcomes, and requires balls. Shooting someone who doesn't know you're there doesn't present much of a challenge, and only results in a few very predictable outcomes. Only wimps KoS 100% of the time. Playing gamez with gurlz is fun on a bun too.

Thanks devs, all! I'm jealous that Tatanko beat me to a DayZ pilgrimage! I might make it to Prague by the end of the year, or next spring....

Nope. Anything under 90 can kill you according to this scuba site, so I'm basically on the mark there. http://infolific.com/leisure/scuba-diving/warm-water-hypothermia/

The body loses heat 25x faster when wet. If I stood you outside in a t-shirt and jeans in the cold rain you would be shivering within 5 minutes. You can die of hypothermia floating in warm 90 degree water.

Press vests are in hospitals. Plate carrier is likely tied to the borked heli loot spawn system.

Welcome back! Boy oh boy, where to start~! SO, vehicles are really really buggy right now, both on Experimental branch and Stable Branch. We are on the cusp of all physics engines becoming unified as Beta gels. Short version is like this, the stable version of vehicles available are running on older tech than what's found on experimental, but both are buggy for different reasons, and in different ways. Searching for tires isn't necessary as you can repair all but double wheels currently with the repair kit found in the vehicles inventory. With any damaged tires you will find climbing hills to be near impossible in a truck or bus. The top speeds of the truck and bus are 70-80km an hour currently (if I'm not mistaken), and you can shift a bit earlier than your instincts might dictate, especially if you have some downhill or level terrain. Eventually we are supposed to see many more engine and body parts, and huge improvements to physics and traction performance, which will make vehicles much more sought after for groups, and a challenge to maintain. They are basically ready to go when found now for testing purposes (and this is why the ruined battery worked, or it's a bug). Dirt bike, ATV, pick-up truck, crop duster, helicopter? In time. Please, and working well.... thank you.

"When people get shot, especially in a vital area like the torso, they generally fall down in place. They aren't driven backward as if pushed by a giant invisible hand of fate. Cops who get hit with bullets into their soft body armor generally report the sensation as being like a bee sting or a hard punch, not a charging bull. The stuff you see in movies is just that--movie stuff. " https://www.quora.com/Does-shooting-someone-really-cause-them-to-fly-backwards

I would like the infected to speak bits and pieces of broken garbled Czech language. Kind of like zombies in resident evil 4 but less coherent, less sane. Idle: Kill kill kill. Why.... Why.... Why... So huuuuungry.... Meat, blood, save me.... It huuurts!!! Where am I?? What's happening? Aggro: Food!!! Meat!!! Kill! Over there! There he is! I will eat you! I will kill you! Time to die!! I will tear you to pieces!! *All in Czechoslovakian language.
