☣BioHaze☣

I had a chance to play for a few hours earlier. We had a group of the usual suspects in Riddlers TS. emuthreat, GirthBrooks, IMT, Pook, MadHatter, and me *BeaohHaas, BeerHaus, BeeHouse, BeeHivez, Beetlejuice (apparently anything but BioHaze). I ran until I hit Severograd and began looting. After a while I heard cows and took one down solo. I then tracked the remaining cows until a horde of maniacs I call comrades descended upon my sleepy burg and commenced to slaughtering them. During the tanning process Pook decided to track some deer which led him to wolves, which drew me into the woods where of course I found them.... Bumbling through directions to give my friends to find me I managed to keep the pack at bay long enough with an MP5 before they arrived. Finally Pook came in with a Scorpion and finished them off, saving my sorry behind. Back at the tanning house emuthreat gave me saline and replaced my hat with the wolf proof hand crafted leather cap. During the Beefening part 2, Hatter had a momentary lapse of reason and killed IMT. After a while he came back to TS and apologized, rather embarrassed. I wish I had pics of the wolf encounter, it was super fucking hairy for me. I may try to fraps some stuff going forward when I can remember....

After being KoS'd earlier with GirthBrooks, I had 3 neutral encounters at different times tonight with IMT, emuthreat, Gary, and Dudester100. 1 guy traded some .22 bullets with emu for a canteen (Sasquatch), and another guy (Domino) actually ran into a building offering to help me with infected. Thanks to them for not KoS'ing. We slaughtered many cows, 4 wolves, and countless infected testing all kinds of melee. You can't help some people..... (Dudester100). Here are some shots from the tanning process. Gary met us as a bunch of relatively fresh spawns and gave 2 of us working firearms and other great goodies. IMT logged off for the night and we then encountered wolves. There was one howl that sounded close but we had to double back to make sure we met. We drew a few infected along for the party and the madness ensued. I stood at the base of the hill and was able to take shots at wolves and infected without aggro. Gary, though firing an Aug and in the best gear of the group fell to but a few wolf strikes and died! emu and I killed 2 there and the rest dispersed. We were able to stash Gary's gear and as he began the trip North the rest of the pack tried to get revenge. emu and I killed another 2 wolves and stopped to cook all of our hard earned meat. Once Gary realized where he spawned he spammed apples and sprinted North and was in all of his original gear within 20 minutes!

Yeah... you're correct. This could have been the case though my gut says otherwise....

Yeah.... GirthBrooks and I just died to a guy who we gave WAY too many chances to talk. We spotted a smoker and some asshat started tailing us down to it. We tried to talk but he just kept wiggling and coming towards us. I wasn't sure if he was scared or aggressive but my patience was thin. He found a couple bushes and started to pop out and fire. Brooks and I then opened up, I ran through my 18 rounds in my RAK fairly quickly (not sure I hit him at all really) and was hit with broken legs. I had recently picked up a Red-9 but totally forgot(!!!!) I had it as he ran up and shot me in the head. I am dead. Brooks tried to bring him down with the Mosin but when our adversary ran out of rounds it turned to melee and Brooks died. During the melee the guy tried to say that he told us to drop our guns! I'm not surprised this happened and I won't KoS in response. We'll get wiped Monday and all will be forgotten soon. I'm more disappointed that I forgot I had the Red-9 than getting KoS'd. And we DEFINITELY should of just opened fire when he didn't speak IMMEDIATELY. *sigh* I'll start again later. Y∞L∞

Welcome back.

SE of Stary Sobor I heard a dog like sound and looked to my left to see 2 wolves. At first it was like they didn't know I was there and then moments after this pic they seemed to look in my direction. I ran to a luckily situated nearby house and found they did not pursue. Backpack icon showing darkened after a swap and damage not showing in icon or model, in game, or in inventory.

....fish everywhere....

Holy crap, man! Relax, please! We'll either get a patch or we won't. Have patience, sneakers.

Not wanting to steal @odin_lowe 's thunder but, an animation for when you flip a coupled magazine over to utilize the other 30 rounds rather than magically feeding the next mag worth ammo through. The worm. Swinging your backpack to your front, kneeling down, opening the top, and peering in with blurred out vision around to check and manage ones inventory. Hand drill kit animations, and the need for many of them to actually create a fire... I definitely want to see those bayonets back in and usable as mentioned by others, and I would also like to repeat the suggestion for a strike with the butt of a gun or rifle. Animations for different speeds and styles of opening unlocked doors would be great. From a slow near silent maybe creaking door animation to full on kicking the door which would stagger infected and knock back/over players. I would like to see different run animations for stamina and weight effects. Heavy players should move very differently than light players, and being winded should look different than regular walking.

Your joke detector is on the Fritz Senor Hix-u. I know this Coyotes not the barking type. ;) It's this one, seen on my back here:

Wolves and Coyotes confirmed.

This is a Public Service Announcement: If you haven't followed DayZ Alpha religiously since the standalone was released, you likely missed important information. Thank you.

LOLOLOLOL Nooooooo. People have been playing like DayZ will always play the same. All of those people who "hate" changes that add survival mechanics have been kidding themselves the whole time while being assholes throughout this entire process. The people who come to DayZ for PvP only usually burn out and find some reason to rage quit and go play Overwatch. I can't wait for modding so they can all leave Vanilla DayZ for good and stop telling people you, "play DayZ", when you really just wanna play CoD on a Chernarus map with minimal looting.

Yeah, I should have made mention. I heard at least one zip sound as a bullet passed me close by. I think the situation with bullet audio is improved but not 100% fixed? Sorry I'm not the best judge of this as I avoid confrontation when possible.

Yeah, I just avoided a guy here. I happened to take this screenshot before I flanked right to loot the summer camp buildings. Just as I was about to reach the area I saw a player in what looked like mostly olive military clothes. I did not have a functioning firearm so I did a 180 and followed some trees for cover and sure enough he starts taking pot shots with a Scorpion or RAK from the sound of it. Moments later I think I heard him killing infected he drew. I know I must have cut a fearsome image in my wool coat, wellies. and pick axe. I then found my way to Krasnostav and just as I entered the police station I saw another player so I immediately left again, without being harassed. This is the first longer session where I played with longer aggro'd infected. I killed quite a few and it still didn't make them that hard to manage, if you're willing to run and use the houses to your advantage etc. By the time I was down to 3500 blood from playing with them I had enough loot by clearing them, to hole up in a house and heal before tangling again.

90 second respawn timer is back. *thumbs up*

Did someone say the servers were offline? :P

Gary and I saw this as well.

I think I can hear the dev/elves tapping away furiously from across the pond! 12 DayZ of XmaZ starts now. I'm curious as to what will be truly stable and ready for prime time before then..... Saw a guy from BC, Ryan Janes (walked out to the song The Islander) win his UFC debut last Friday. The fight was bloody and gritty.... you would have been proud.

Speaking of territorial animal behavior.... Wolves need dens don't they? That's a way in which you can definitely get attacked. Stumbling on a wolves den....

People kept posting, "trees don't fall, trees don't fall". May be related.

I think each tree/plant/bush/whathaveyuh will contain an amount of fruit at server start which can be picked clean. I'm guessing they will refresh with server restarts or over a period of time.

I know you Something.
