We're the immune from the infection and the infected are not the undead. Hence, no head shot needed to kill. Also, generators are planned I believe but somehow I doubt energy sub stations will ever function.

Thanks for the heads up about certain buildings and locations for loot, folks. I noticed drinks at bus stops, if that helps anyone. I'm playing in cautious survivor mode the entire time and it's paid off. For the most part my Magnum ammo stocks have either risen or stayed the same. I hope to play a lot tonight and make the best of the info here. I'm having too much fun! :P One of the first things I found when this update dropped was a Mosin in a deerstand. So glad I never stopped checking EVERYWHERE.

Yup, been suggested many times. I would like to see more of a balance with this mechanic myself but it should take 5 or more "in game minutes" to gather fruit. We should be exposed while we pick (or when accessing a backpack IMO), like the drinking animation leaves you exposed.

What?! My head hurts.... I'm happy to be a dick about all the crying the PvP kids do. The PvP crowd has run this message board for so long it made this place largely obsolete for discussion about a survival game. I've been trying to tell people for a very long time that these changes were coming and all of you went about playing DayCoD anyway and thought that it would stay that way or that Bohemia would somehow cater to fucking kids who spent dads 30$. Just GTFO and find your next casual instant gratification game of grab ass.

What the hell are you on about? DayZ IS a survival game and was always being made into one. IF you read the roadmap before you purchased the game you would have expected these changes. http://www.dayztv.com/standalone/dayz-2015-roadmap/ Those of you that want CoD should really go play CoD. Why should ignorance and the lowest common denominator ruin a unique and long lasting experience for those of us who understand the development road map from the beginning? People around here are wearing out the Q's on their keyboards and sound like a bunch of butt hurt ignorant babies. NEWS FLASH - Some "testers" here probably don't belong in DayZ! *gasp* I was going to make this same very thread... I'm glad someone did. Edit: I'm so fucking glad the PvP twits are eating shit and puking tears. They way they've ran this board for the last year was a shame.

^Probably a result of Meta Data. When I clicked it showed Gary's mod.

I was just thinking how I hate how a KoS player can call himself a "survivor" and everyone agrees. Just like they define bandit as a murderer and not someone who robs people. PvP gun battles will not be the central game play element once all the rest of the features are implemented. The current most popular ways to try to play DayZ are fast becoming obsolete.

I can be as cute as I like, thanks. I'm just walking around with this loaf of bread made of rising pride sopping up all these "the games changing" tears. A huge population here plays DayCoD.

This may be similar to the bug I have seen where I can't pick up items. Usually I walk into a room and all the items in just that room will not allow me to pick them up. If I leave the building and come back I can usually pick the stuff up. If it's something you can open or eat those actions will work from the ground but not "pick up". Glad you got out!!

Huh... kinda sounds like a survival game now doesn't it? If you all want PvP well a lot more games do it better and faster for the impatient. http://store.steampowered.com/tag/en/FPS/#p=0&tab=NewReleases

In before graveyard or moved to "want my money" thread. Many of you aren't mentally fit to test mary kate and ashleys shopping spree let alone DayZ. COME BACK IN 20 MONTHS AND STOP INSULTING THE DEVS.

Exciting times to be a DayZ hipster! Cheers to the devs and all involved! :beans:

Bump I think all clothing slots should be basically as is but when interacting with something in backpack you should kneel and swing the bag open in front of you.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen this suggested before. Good one! They should be too big to carry in a backpack but can be held in hands and eventually when vehicles have storage, placed in those for transport taking up many slots. People would mostly be looking to use them inside the hospitals where they spawn which would create an interaction hotspot out of the hospital similar to how crafting tables will draw people.

Hey, you ever tried self sustained minimalist camping? Just try to see how forgiving the elements are when all you have is what you can carry long distance, on your back. First time I did this I actually forgot some top layers of bedding and had to resort to an emergency blanket and my towels. IT FUCKING SUCKED but thank god I had the emergency blanket. People who make jokes about Bear Grylls simulator need to go get caught up on CoD, like now. There are people who play DayZ that seem to have 0 idea about the game they are involved in testing. A friend told them some bits and pieces and showed them a youtube clip of some troll play and they were all in. :rolleyes: Many types of real diseases and infections brought about by environmental conditions and exposure/interactions will be in 1.0. For example, you will be able to taint water, transmit disease through dirty rags, and more interaction with infected will raise your chances to get infections and sickness. ^That's it. Expand on that with a little imagination and that's what's coming. I strongly encourage that everyone reads as much as possible about this project before they spend money on it OR try to discuss it.

From experimental 0.55 Well, I saw a bear trap set below a ladder in the apartments at Berezino. You could see it rather plainly but the bottom portion was partially clipped under the cement floor. I did something risky. I decided I felt safe enough in Berezino at the apartments (no less) with only a few others on the server, to do some infected sniping with the Repeater I was hand carrying. I had caught sight of a few that were a good distance away and settled in to a balcony to pick them off. After I killed 1, I had just started zeroing in on the next and actually had aggro'd it at great distance when a player called out to me from behind! I knew that we probably had less than 30 seconds before the infected came scampering up behind him so if the player decided to attack, I might have some infected back-up. I did a few sidesteps to glimpse a character who had mostly what looked like starter gear, brandishing what I believe was a lead pipe. He told me he was looking for someone to test a land mine out with and I told him I wasn't interested. I offered supplies which he refused and then that's when the infected fell upon him. I hear him taking a beating and drop the Repeater in favor of the silenced 1911. As he is spinning around the infected, flailing with his pipe, it's like something out of an movie where the hero has to shoot the zombie tangling around and around with his friend. Trying very hard not to hit the player, I managed to get off only one clean shot center mass which unfortunately did not kill the infected but staggered it and the poor bleeding bastard ran out the door and sought refuge in an interior room. (If there were a knock down mechanic in game, and the survivor had been knocked to the floor, this would have offered a good moment to cleanly smoke that infected....) As he ran out another infected must have been coming up the stairs and aggro on him too! I ran the other way in plain sight of them but the infected were dead set on tearing this now bleeding dude apart and followed him. I switched to sawn-off and things grew quiet. I reloaded my other empty weapons and waited a little more. I wasn't sure if dude was dead or even if all of this some kind of set-up or not but if he really was at least neutral, the least I could do would be to kill the infected I drew down upon us. Soon I heard him again, calling out. I think the infected lost aggro from him as I saw one walk right past me as if it was headed back outside, or retracing it's steps. Boom, shotgun drops it. Switch to Magnum. Blau, blau, 2 infected bodies block the doorway. A short pause.... "Are they dead?!" "Yes, they're all dead." He then thanks me and asks if I want a ride anywhere in his friends V3S. I said I just wanted to leave the building without being shot in the face. He said ok, and that he would leave me alone now (which he thankfully did). I waited a minute and cursed myself for not taking screens. I then ran NW and within a couple minutes came upon a V3S sitting running in the road. I stood at the treeline, looking for movement and saw no one but I decided that this might also be a trap and was likely the friend of the guy I met in the apartments. Now heading more West I came upon a barn and beside that barn... my very own truck! I had not been looking for a V3S and was apprehensive about hurting my character driving but thought I didn't have a choice but to take this gift the gods bestowed upon me. Cutting further west, collecting Magnum ammo as I went, I thought I might cut across a field and when I tried to go from asphalt to grass I gently rolled the truck onto it's side. I was able to exit the passenger side safely and continue west on foot.

We had it in the mod and we'll likely see it in the SA. Feel free to use the forum search or google to find if threads already exist. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/170858-zombies-drop-loot/

Good show! Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing! :beans:

That electric kettle looks a lot like the one I use to make coffee before playing DayZ! PS: Those models look fantastic! Now who's up for Molotov Cocktails? I know the Horde iiisss!

Nice screenshots, man! A mace should be a nasty weapon and a well placed head shot with one should be a KO if you're not wearing a helmet. I've passed up the mace every time I've seen it though. Once I heard it was sort of "useless" at this point..... why try? I have had the sword twice, the first time was when it was brand new and I did well to run around yelling "CROM!" while killing zombies with it. The 2nd one I found was in a feeding station in the NE, not long after spawning, on the 0.55 build that had the messed up heat map for the items. I like the sword and hope they tweak it to be a little stronger/better somehow. I do feel like you should at least be able to chop kindling with it from the bushes but maybe it should damage the sword a bit quicker when used this way.....

It's not quite over yet my cynical compatriot.

Hi, AtotehZ Please take some time to read about the upcoming changes for this Alpha project that is DayZ. http://steamcommunity.com/games/221100/announcements/detail/145568567581412212

A lot of what you're talking about will be directly effected by the upcoming changes to the game. Detailed in that link.
