My best guess is that "days survived" is close enough to be your character's age. As soon as you spawn in, the timer immediately starts.

One shotgun blast at that range should've been enough to put anyone down. Bath salts is strong in this one.

The first time I was playing I was actually saved by a group of players. How I recall that was when I was running along the coastline near Kamyshovo I believe and one of the survivors with a Winchester shot the zombies that were chasing me while I was a fresh spawn. He was telling me to come up to the nearby hill and we all stayed up top talking about how long we've been playing. This was around Aug of 2012? Not too sure. After we all talked, I was fed and kept hydrated then we ventured out along the road assisting whoever was in need. I actually was able to aid one of the first people who required our help. Those were the good days when people wanted to venture out and team up together to survive from the zombies than expect it to be a big deathmatch scenario. As of recently, I've been sniping away at bandits who harm survivors in larger cities with my M40 Camo just for good sport to relieve my boredom these days. :)

I'd like to add on that perhaps if you're within range by using a radio, you may hear the sounds of static indicating that a crash site is nearby. Now that would be cool.. But that's probably not possible.

I think the fading to black would only apply if you're bleeding to your death prior from going into shock but if you happen to die an instant death then it should just go black.

I like the vision fade idea but death cam? No. Once you die, you shouldn't act as a spirit to relay messages to your friends and have them avenge your death.

I agree. Testing would be great.

https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/140352-dayz-mod-future-update-suggestions/Incase you want to take a glance at the suggestions I've made in the past. Don't worry about it :) I hope it is brought to their attention and will be worked on. It would be amazing to hide a body by using an entrenching tool and it would leave a dirt mound in the ground that would have a model similar to a stash but longer. (only works on dirt and must drag player over it to bury them) and you could even place a grave marker that looks like this (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/cfg_images/ArmA/GraveCross2.jpg)

I've already suggested it many times and didn't really get a solid answer on this one. I also expanded the idea on if zombies can spot your dead body and consume it which would help with the way you don't already get fully geared again by going back to your old body.

Will traps work against zombies as well?

Hey guys, TIC here and I've been browsing around Youtube and I happen to be in a video. It is from a former stranger who is now a good friend of mine. We will be playing the mod more and have our own adventures and maybe a bit of mishap.. ;)

What happened with that guy I shot in the bushes is that he was sniping people in Cherno on the hillside then after I shot him, he combat logged. Reported to admin and was given a 3 day ban. Not much of a waste of ammo to save more people's lives in game. This is on Eternal Gaming Lounge server US 434 Vanilla

US434 is pretty dependable, I doubt it'd change to a different mod. It's dedicated to vanilla. I have fun with it. I'm a survivor myself and have intentions of a hero. The mod is still pretty fun. I still play it just about whenever I can.

Normally what people do in Vanilla DayZ is that they stash off the vehicles they find in their base and some of them never even touch them again. With them being able to save on their own, it sounds like in your situation that your vehicle was stolen.

Yesterday's Update Want to give a quick update on the wiki. You may see the work that's done on here: http://dayz.wikia.com/wiki/DayZ_Wiki Progress is now steady and with changes/goals including.. Polls changing by approximately every 2 weeks. Last change to poll was around when Standalone was released.Community featured videos, first one being from Karlus Bojangles! Congratulations! (You may watch featured video in this post)Additional updated information.Reaching out to the DayZ Community more.

Wikia Update: With most information being true, it's not entirely up to date. But with your help, we could provide information much faster :) Only up to 1.7.7.1 which makes you instantly think how long back that was! That was almost 2 years ago. Surprises me as much as it does to everyone else but rest assured, it'll be up to date but with some time. Along the lines, I have plans on reaching out to those who post wonderful videos(mainly series) about vanilla DayZ Mod only. This way, it'll expand the community circle to a more broader one for newcomers seeking information on the mod, especially those coming from Standalone and seeking a classic experience with the mod. I'll be going over the goals I plan on doing to make it enjoyable and informative and progress will gradually be checked off upon completion. If you have experience with formatting and editting and you wish to do your part for the DayZ Mod community, message me and I'll fill you in. I will provide in-depth information on overall items, features and other survival mechanics that are present in DayZ Mod. Most legacy information will be in use as a reference and may be scrapped due to big differences in the current mod. Updating information progress: In-ProgressCommunity Fan Services(Appropriate Media only; Photos and videos): In-Progress(If you'd like to see anything else, fill me in and let me know)

As of now, I will be recreating the wiki page so if you have any ideas on adding new things, let me know. I'll do my best to accommodate when time is available :) I am currently doing some updating which will provide more useful information on items.

Prior to map updates, POI's were a great start to enhancing the map. I am quite curious on what kind of updates will be made towards the map?

I'd help contribute to a new wiki page as well. :)

Honestly can't wait. I've picked up on a lot of dayz mod more. It's definitely enjoyable

You're absolutely right Bullet. If it wasn't for the humanity system, then it'd be a straight up free for all so scrapping it entirely would be a bad idea. I remember in the early days of the mod, people were willing to team up together and cooperate more frequently against the zombies. The zombies were straight up horrifying back then. The zombies and the environment is what really makes up for the humanity. Speaking of zombies; I believe the zombies should be more intimidating. As a good suggestion, having their sounds changed would be nice. This isn't much of a high priority kind of thing since sounds are quite hard to replicate but a great example of how zombies should sound is like this: In my opinion, the crawling zombies should sound more aggressive since they're trying harder to get you ;) If those sounds were to come to play, imagine how it'd be like playing during the night and that's what you heard around your proximity.

I agree. I believe there should be a limit to what your humanity should range to. I know people who have about -200k humanity and there's no way to recovering that at all.. I think between -7500 to 7500 is perfectly ranged. I believe I read somewhere that creating new skins would take some time. I know whenever I see a bandit, I just kill them on sight to gain humanity as a survivor. Chances of a person with bandit skin killing you is quite high due to the fact that almost everyone else does. It's like creating a big bullseye on your character with that skin. Only way to really avoid it is to go in hiding by a ghillie suit or wearing a soldier's uniform. Humanity needs a lot of work.

I noticed in the changelog for 1.8.6 that a fishing pole will have an ability to kill zombies in 1 hit? What about other survivors? I think it shouldn't be considered a melee weapon. Perhaps give it an ammo count of 0? :)

Vanilla DayZ can be quite full at times on servers such as US 434 that I have a hard time getting in. It's a great experience. Especially when you encounter friendly people that you haven't met and team up with.

Been awhile since I posted anything on the forums, been busy. Also lost my 180 day survivor. May his soul rest in peace. Anyways, this update is fantastic. Here's what I'd like to see in the future. Higher temp = more thirsty due to heat. Lower temp = more hungry for calories lost from trying to stay warm.With matches having a count, water bottle should have uses and should quench thirst partially to ration it out more. Same with food maybe?Fireplaces should die out much faster during rain.Traps working on zombies (Bear trap, tripwires)
