    DayZ and crafting

    I'll second that, if it's done in blood and ichor.
  2. I haven't played since last night, but that wasn't an option :P Honestly, though, with BE being a pain, and teleporting to the beach every few times I log in... I'm just going to wait until next update.

    Anyone want an FN FAL?

    I can confirm it's a trap. Blue Yoshi and two others tried to kill me when I met up to trade an m4a1 coo sd and 2 stanag sd magazines for the FAL.

    M24 or DMR?

    I don't believe the DMR has zeroing. Picked one up last night and pressing page up/down did nothing.

    .50 cal rifles and you

    The DMR isn't the only option for night time. Turn up the gamma, and turn off shadows and it's pretty damn bright out.

    Coughing, now what?

    Heat packs will help you from getting an infection, but don't seem to do any good once you're infected. My best advice is to avoid being outside in the rain at night. Or at least pop heat packs or make a fire of you do. Antibiotics are rare, so be prepared to hit a lot of hospitals until you find some.
  7. Where are these consequences you speak of? The skin? Just wear a ghillie suit.
  8. Not so. I Have yet to play with 1.7.2.5, and I still get this.
  9. I've played a few times on servers with side chat, and found the experiences much more enjoyable. It reminded me that the game isn't simply a murder simulator, and I found myself actually helping another person, when normally I would have avoided or killed them. I say let servers enable it if they wish.

    FFFUUUU Update

    Cool story bro
  11. louist

    can i mute chat somehow?

    Audio Options, slide the VON all the way to the left. You will lose all voice chat, though, not just global.
  12. If it is indeed a "feature," I'm not a fan of it. I play with 1, sometimes 2, other guys, and finding a server that suits all of us, and that we can all actually load into, is a pain. It can take us a few tries. Server hopping can be an issue, but I don't think this is a suitable fix. It's too heavy-handed.
  13. I like finding a low-ping server with few enough people that I'm fairly safe from hackers, spend 5-7 minutes loading, and then discovering that the server, despite it's 32 ms ping, lags about 2 seconds behind :P
  14. I, too, have a ghillie.

    Hero Skin?

    If killing bandits raises humanity, what happens to all the bandits who have no issue with shooting other bandits? Will the be stuck in some sort of karmatic grey-zone?

    Thermal sight needs to be removed

    I don't know, it looked to me like trees did provide cover from the thermal. The bushes too, a little bit. But that guy in the bushes wasn't hiding behind them, he was peeking out a bit to have a look around, which gave him away.

    Thermal sight needs to be removed

    Sure, removing it will make it harder to dupe in theory. The problem, as I see it, isn't duping. It's scripting. Removing the gun from DayZ doesn't stop one from simply spawning it. Despite BE's proud message spam, there are still a ton of scripters.

    does a ghillie cover up a bandit skin

    What about a ghillie suit of a bit different colour? Or baring that, a tree costume. "Nothing to see here; just a particularly well armed tree. To scare off the loggers."

    Thermal sight needs to be removed

    Found one at my first (and so far only) heli crash. Didn't know anything about it, but it looked interesting, so I tossed in my backpack. Next time I logged on, my pack and reset, and I lost it. Never even put it in my hands. Le Sigh.

    Spawning at the coast, anyone else?

    I get this as well, but not constantly. Say, every third time I log on, I'm back on the coast where I originally spawned. Convenient sometimes, but certainly not every time!

    Dayz - The Quest for Pepsi

    Good luck with that last one!

    New Maps for Standalone

    A couple of new maps would be very welcome. I'd love to see a map with a huge urban center, something that would take a while to run through, with bridges, tunnels (or a subway), a few skyscrapers, a stadium... ah, to dream,

    DMR or M107

    I'm not sure about the accuracy of those tables. For instance, it lists the 1911 and the revolver deal different damage (moderate and high, respectively).

    Anyone have tips for finding vehicles?

    I've yet to find a vehicle at it's spawn location, but I've come across a number hidden in the woods. Seems to be the best bet.
  25. louist

    Is it luck? or is it not that common?

    I tend to stick to low pop servers, but even I've seen a server wipe (all 6 of us).
