Are there really more zombies now or do they just respawn so fast that it feels like there are more of them?

Don't zombies ignore walls anymore?

I always wondered what the second P in 3PP stands for. 3rd person p...?

I usually skip all stories beginning with "... at Balota Airfield ..." Does anyone really cares what happens at Balota? Some fresh spawns with nothing to lose fighting against other fresh spawns with nothing to lose. Where's the thrill?

I'd like to see a screenshot of that specific military hero look...

Lolwut?

Run faster.

What's the point of equipable clothes then, if everybody gets their skin based on the humanity system? Personally I would bring back Taviana. It was such a great map with so much variety and cool different places. I would make the bridge a little bit shorter/smaller though.

Hello there, I really enjoy that almost every building is enterable now. But I would like to see some locked doors which can only be opened with tools (i.e. axe, crowbar or lockpicks). Depending on the tool, opening a door could be noisy enough to attract zombies (or other players). What do you guys think about this idea?

No one mentioned the Walkie Talkie so far. I've found plenty of everything. But only one Walkie Talkie.

If someone doesn't respond for over half a minute you either shoot him or run away. In this situation it was clearly your own fault for getting shot. This player obviously did not want to interact with you or otherwise he would have responded. But you kept running towards him (on an open field, without your gun being lowered). I would have shot you too in this situation. If I was told repeatedly to come out of my cover for some free stuff I would be cautious. Feels like a bait.

Okay, let's take the logout timer AND add a system which recognizes if you are "in combat" or "out of combat". I'm not quite sure but I guess this is already implemented in the mod (or at least on some private hives). You are "in combat" if you have zombie aggro and/or if a bullet was shot near you / hit the surrounding near you. In this case the player cannot log out and the logout timer wont count down from 30 to 0 until he gets "out of combat". If the player decides to Alt+F4 out of the game when he's still "in combat" the character would still stay in the game until he gets "out of combat" somehow... which wont happen unless the other player (from your mentioned standoff situation) stops shooting. Or let's go a step further and say: A player can't logout if another player is nearby (i.e. within a 100m range). Wouldn't this solve the problem?

Let's make it just like in World of Warcraft. If you hit the escape button to logout, you have a 30 second timer before you can actually press the "Exit / Logout" button. And if you Alt+F4 out of the game, the character will still be on the server for 30 seconds before he vanishes. This gives other players and zombies the chance to still kill the player and take his loot even though he's not in the game anymore.

Maybe you need to die before the changes take place.

Hello, I've got two questions regarding the topic. So I shot a guy yesterday and when I started to loot his corpse, his body just disappeared. I guess this has something to do with the new "unconscious status". Instead of dying, you just fall unconscious when you get shot, is that right? And when you log out in this state the body just disappears I guess. But how do I kill an unconscious guy properly? I tried to shoot a whole magazine into the unconscious body but it still disappeared some seconds later in the middle of the looting process. Second question: My friend just found two STANAG magazines which are combined with duct tape. So I tried to combine my magazines as well by using duct tape but I didnt manage to figure out how to do so. Is it even possible to combine two magazines or do you just have to be lucky to find one in a barrack etc.?

I just realized that this thread was posted in the wrong section. Maybe a mod can move it into the standalone-section.

Hello there, I wonder if there are actually any well populated servers with 3rd person disabled. I'm searching for a while now but I just can't find any... As DayZ Epoch is quite popular at the moment, I downloaded it and was hoping to find at least ONE server with 3rd person disabled... but i got disappointed. Is it really that hard to find such a server or is it just the filter of DayZ Commander that is messing around with me? Can anyone recommend a server without 3rd person? Preferably a european server with Taviana or Chernarus, as I don't really like the other maps. Thanks in advance.

Paranoia

Can anyone confirm this? Don't wanna break my legs while trying this... :-P

Or they just change their names and voilà, they are incognito again.

As long as the movement/pathfinding/whatever makes them run zigzag isn't fixed, there is no need to make them more threatening.

Link, please? Edit: Nevermind, found it by myself. For everyone wondering what video he is talking about, it's probably this one: http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/

They obviously have their downsides. But it's still fun to use them cause of their rarity and the comfort of travelling fast from A to B with your friends etc. I still prefer bicycles. I once travelled through Chernarus with two friends on three bicycles. It was just hilarious. Pros: - we never needed to refuel - fast offroad - not noisy like cars - easy to hide Cons: - no space for gear - if you crash into each other, you break your bones and the bike can't be picked up until the next server restart (similar to ATV's)

You wont get a BattleEye ban, but I saw people who got banned from specific servers by the admin for using a scripted-in weapon, even though they didnt scpripted it in by themselfes.

As already mentioned, press F and look in the upper right corner to see, what weapon is equipped. If you have flairs or chemlights equipped for example, you can obviously not aim down sight. Make sure to equip the weapon before tapping the right mouse button.
