Of all the maps you're posting the ArmA II map. At least post the right map ;) They've added a lot in the Standalone map, for example, about 5 extra kilometers along the complete north side

When transfusing, it's important to know whether the blood type given is compatible with that of the recipient. So I took this table, and provide it to you for info. As far as I know, there are only + types in DayZ, but I'm not really sure about that. Source: Wikipedia EDIT: I think it's funny that my ingame character has exactly the same blood type as me ;)

Guys, today I read this post from Rocket. Might be interesting for those who are experiencing these problems: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/167343-servers-with-connection-issues-to-central-hive/

I also had very strange character magic going on today. I started dayz, pressed play, but because my regular server wasn't available, I had to select one from the list. I started at the coast as a fresh spawn... Well, I switched on my flashlight (as it was night) and started searching for loot. Everything was empty, so after a while, say 15 mins, I chose to select a different server. There, I spawned at the coast again, but this time without a flashlight... Ok, something fishy going on :/ Because night without a flashlight isn't really pleasant, I chose to switch server again. This time I spawned as an old version of my current character :O in a place I once logged out of. I don't know what's going on, and why, but it appears that several states of my character are still stored. Let's hope devs read this (or find out themselves, probably) and find a fix soon, and maybe even preserve our (newest*) characters doing so. :thumbsup: ^_^ :beans: *newest as in: before the bug

Or you could set dayzdb.com/map as your homepage in the steam webbrowser if you really want to use a map. Then you can shift+tab straight to the map and back to the game.

Even more than I could have expected love you, guys!

I really think that would be a coinicidence. That it just happened the same time as the character wipe. This morning I was playing and our modem got accidentally switched off. Because of that I lost connection (no message received...). Later, in the evening, I started playing again, but my game just resumed at the point where I lost connection. So either it was indeed a problem and has been fixed or the character wipe was when you were logged in (so you die after you disconnect) or maybe you lost connection just before the wipe. This is what I can come up with. But most importantly, it probably won't happen again unless there's another wipe

I loved your story! I really like reading player's experiences when they're in story form. On your question: Most likely character wipes occur when rolling out updates. I haven't done research in this part, but I think it's that, perhaps combined with other reasons. It's alpha, and you'll probably have a better experience if you know that beforehand and just keep in mind you're playing the game for testing purposes :) I don't really mind anymore when my character gets reset. Partly because I think the most fun part of the game is gearing up from scratch and really have a struggle to survive. cya ingame (maybe)

at first: what I expected: And how I eventually felt ingame:

Looks f-- awesome! Can't wait Downloading right now from Steam. Actually I coudn't affort to buy games for some time. Skipped bf4 and others because of that. But I can make an exception for this, knowing the money is put to good use by these developers. 24 euro well spent, I'd say. Now let's hope we can play this game again with the immersion I felt and the awesome memories I had when the mod just started. Those were some great times! cheers and see you ingame ;)

This thread is too funny ^_^

Who killed Bambi? The one who finds him and brings him to me alive, will be rewarded a lifetime supply of beans.

the stock CPU fans make a lot of noise too. Your CPU is good, you can surely last another few years if you upgrade your RAM (RAM is fairly cheap, so get a 2x4GB 1333 kit or something) and your graphics card. Maybe a 7870, like terminal said, but you could also go for the 7850. Or for a (Nvidia) GTX 560 Ti Also, I personally recommend putting your OS and games on different drives to dramatically increase loading times and framerate consistency in games. But that's just personal preference.
