Sorry bud but it is "buttstroke", and hitting someone in the head with a 10KG shotgun butt could certainly kill them.

Here you go tiger... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttstroke

What do you expect when every beginners guide tells people everyone will kill them so shoot first.

How do you know it was rape??? maybe they are in love, who are you to judge?

Ummm, improving something like fuel economy is objective (it has a measured outcome that can be compared to a standard scale). Improving game play by making changes is very much subjective, any change will effect everyone's individual enjoyment differently and in ways that aren't measurable against a know or established standard. I'm not buying into the PVP server argument but that was a fail of a comparison. Sorry.

Love the irony OP.

Stop the presses, we have a new front page "Sarcastic teenage posts on internet forum".

No this is not a first person shooter, it is just a game that takes place from the first person perspective. You should avoid shooting unless necessary.

IT'S ALRIGHT FOLKS, NOTHING TO SEE HERE. JUST A TROLL WHO WASN'T USING THEIR SARCASM LOCK BUTTON!

That's a bit ridiculous, a sniper is an undetectable threat. You can minimize your risk but at the end of the day you need to scavenge which means putting yourself in a position where a sniper can hit you. What we need is fewer teenage tards sniping for the hell of it.

Of course they are, everyone is to some degree even if it is unintentional.

Are you suggesting it isn't possible for a black person to be racist???

Hi guys, after getting attacked and having my blood drop to about 1500 my screen lost it's colour and it blurs in and out of focus ever few seconds as it's meant to. After I replenished my blood the colour came back, I then took 4 lots of pain killers and morphine but the blurry vision wouldn't go. Is your vision blurring in and out of focus due to pain (I thought it was) or something else? Any help would be great, thanks.

Cheers.

Flares put out a lot more light and attract more zombie attention, the chemlights are a lot harder to see even by other players. Check this link out if you don't already know about it, it explains the basics on most things in the game. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

Please we need more transport for us lower class citizens. Can we get more bicycles added, to prevent it unbalancing the game give them a decent nerf, eg... make them slower, less durable and have them increase your food and water intake requirements. This game takes on a whole new dimension when you have transport but it is very hard to find.

That's not as silly as it sounds, realistically if a zombie virus went through a place every ones house would still be full of their stuff. If it meant staying alive I'd gladly ride a little girls little pink bike with streamers (you could even store stuff in the daisy basket :lol: ).

Just a quick idea to improve player co-operation in game, how about a protected camp or "survivours safe zone" that is guarded and policed. So you can meet others and trade items without risk of being killed or having your stuff stolen by another player. You could also have a NPC trading post and medic so you can stock up on ammo and supplys and get healed if need be. Could also be useful if they want to introduce missions at a later stage.

Thanks for being mature enough to come out and say your not trying to be a dick, these things have a bad habit of spiraling out of control on forums and the original purpose of the post gets lost. I'm also man enough to admit that my reply wasn't real mature and was intended to dismiss someone who appeared to be out to cause trouble, which is not the case. Just to clear a few things up, it's fine and well to say what will and won't ever be part of day-z but don't forget that things like day-z begin with someone having (or being given) a good idea. Ideas that don't work now might work later or even cause someone to mod a mod (isn't that a mind blowing idea) or even create something original. The idea I put forward wasn't for a PVP free zone were the game is played as is just with no PVP, it's for a safe meeting place for the remnants for the human race. This doesn't have to fly in the face of what day-z is. What makes this game different is that it is hard, the scales are well and truly tipped against you and the only point is to stay alive which might cause you to behave differently than you normally would. The important thing is to maintain this balance in the game, so if you introduce a safe place you can offset it by making the rest of the world so much harder and unforgiving. The best example that comes to mind is guns, they are currently everywhere and finding one is not hard at all and I often discard a gun just because I run out of ammo and have found a new gun with ammo. If a trade point was introduce you could make guns extremely rare to find and when you found one you would hold onto it(you would never discard it because you are out of ammo) like it was worth more than life (which it is), the focus would then shift to scavenging things that are tradable for ammo to suit your gun. It would be a very basic sort of barter economy, people would begin to co-operate but only because it will help them to survive. This would still fit with the current game because surviving is basically what it is all about. You also mentioned that the only way this will happen is if we do it ourselves and I agree that if it happened spontaneously it would be great (as i mentioned previously), but there are a few problems as I see it preventing this from ever happening. Firstly the density of players on a server makes this sort of thing impractical, secondly there is a lot of loot in the game so trading isn't really necessary at the moment. Which brings balance back to the table, if you could trade then the amount of loot in game could be reduced massively, the game would become easier and harder at the same time. Thirdly due to the inventory system it isn't really practical to trade, if a zone like this was to start the ability to trade would have to be improved big time first.

Here's an idea re: improving the forum. If you don't want people to offer suggestions don't have a suggestions section in the forum, if you don't have the power to alter the forum(and you don't) then your just going to have to accept that people have ideas that differ from your own suggestion (which I noticed there is no shortage of). Also since you have no control over the future direction of this game there is very little point to you passing judgement on what you consider inappropriate since your opinions carry as much weight as anyone else on here.

I agree that something that is grass roots would be better but unfortunantly the max server populations are just to low for this to happen by itself. 60 people on a massive map like this is just not dense enough.

I agree you should regen blood (although it should be slow). To off set any balance issues they need to introduce an injury system, for example if you hurt your leg you walk/run slower and make more noise doing it. The injuries could be healed instantly with the right drugs or alternately would take a very long time to heal if just left.

Hi guys, since the update I can kill and gut animals but I can't take any raw meat from them, the option just doesn't appear in the menu(I can still study and hide the body). Is this a know bug? is anyone else having this problem??? Thanks.

Thanks, i'll try esc and see if it helps next time i've got the blurred vision. Cheers.

Thanks for your help guys, I finally got it to work after 6 animals. Maybe a lag issue or something??
