I don't really support the OP, but as to your statement, why not? If safezones were able to be established, why wouldn't people trade with scavengers to get what they needed?

Not all of the gas tanks in Namalsk are gas tanks. Some are propane tanks. And vice versa.

People would whine. Incessantly.

Side to side is fine. Persistent is fine. Damage is fine. I just wish they wouldn't phase through walls and doors like goddamned ghosts.

Not until I get my server up and running, like I said there's only one server advertising all three options and it's in Germany. :| I did finally get an ER7 though, posted up on a hill half a kilometer from old hospital, saw two bandits camping the roofs and decided to take them. Second one was dead before the first hit the ground. I was cackling like a madman. :beans: I can confirm both animal and player bodies despawning in Namalsk. I have no idea what might cause it though. Then really you should welcome a fresh challenge. I don't even understand this. Sumrak could add zombie grizzly bears, sharks, pond piranhas and mormon missionaries to Namalsk and if the survival aspect was still there I'd still play it. BS and EVR add new environmental challenges, and frankly, the DayZ formula could benefit from legitimately dangerous challenges other than other players.

But like deathmatchers keep telling me, it's not a zombie survival game, it's a PVP game with zombies in it. A bloodsucker is effectively just a big nasty zombie. Why not? And an incredibly dangerous enemy that can come out of nowhere and shift the balance of a firefight don't add to the tension? The EVR is an easily managed environmental hazard. It's already been nerfed once. They fit just fine into DayZ. Anything that adds to the environmental hazard is, in my opinion, a welcome addition. Your loss.

Blackadder confirmed for casual deathmatcher.

If I remember right there are two or three BS spawns around Norinsk, either the server you play on has 200% bloodsuckers (which would be hilarious) or somebody kited three from the c130 and lost them in Norinsk (they just kind of hang out where you lose them in my experience).

You need to add an event handler. Check here.

I was referring specifically to the radiation. It's far more persistent than just killing everyone until they leave (stays till restart).

Please read up thread. Bloodsuckers and EVR are options that can be disabled and indeed are disabled in the vast majority of Namalsk servers. If yours hasn't talk to your admin or find a new one. Don't assume that half of the features that make Namalsk unique should be eliminated because they don't suit your vision of what DayZ Namalsk should be, especially when the man has gone to the extraordinary step of making them optional, as I said.

Stick around after a hacker sets a nuke off. It's unpleasant.

There are Rad effects built into ARMA II, they would be easy enough to implement to create hotspots or corridors.

I came here to type those exact words. My work is done here.

To be fair, there are only like two private servers that advertise all three options as active, and they're both German. Which brings up an interesting point, you can say Namalsk is hardcore survival, but the vast majority of the servers are "24 hour daylight 140 vehicles fully repaired Custom Buildings Custom Loadout No EVR No BS No ER7 No Snipers," which just makes the map sufficiently casual you should just go play Taviana or Utes.

I knew by reading the patch notes. There are a technically infinite amount available seeing as they also spawn in Barracks and at the bunker. I've killed dozens, never found an APSI on one. You're looking in the wrong places. Like the infection you get for running around without warm clothes or a ghilli and heatpacks? That's your prerogative but don't say it comes out of nowhere, because it sure as hell doesn't.

Well I only have the two hands.

I'll admit to watching netflix on my second monitor while cycling A2, but I have good net.

Did it do this in multiple servers? Did the kick say admin kick? Did you get a message in the lower right corner saying Battleye was current and initiliazed? What was your ping?

Download porn, then play DayZ. Don't try to do both at the same time. Alternatively, play on a server on your continent.

That happens whenever there's an input interrupt (unconcious, ejected from a vehicle, whatever). You have to tap the direction you were going before you got hit. Not random. Happens predictably every 45-90 minutes. Median, and mean both being 60 minutes. This is just bullshit. In the latest update the rumbling starts 4 minutes out, and if you have post-processing on your entire world fills with static almost two minutes beforehand. That's why you have four minutes to get in a building, or why smart players are rewarded for hitting the Heli Crashes and C130 Wreck and finding an APSI. The only issue I've had is after dropping two Bloodsuckers, one of them had a context option to take mutant heart, the first time in about 100 BS kills that I've seen the option, but when I opened his inventory there was nothing, additionally the context option to take the heart was gone. This also happened to one of my squadmates, with the additional glitch that after trying to take the heart the Sucker's body took off sliding away from him at full speed. Granted, it was hilarious, but disappointing. As an afterthought, I was impressed that they can take a barrett shot to the chest now and keep coming, I guess my days of killing them with crossbows are over.

[sarcasm]Hiding your shit at Pobeda Dam is totally safe and you should continue doing so.[/sarcasm] Don't shoot unless you can guarantee a kill and it doesn't put you at risk. Sacrificing a position to bushwhack a random on sight will only serve to get you killed by a group that you didn't see because you were impatient. Sloppy shooting doesn't help either. Always have an out. Don't commit to a firefight if you don't have a clear line of egress. Having a vehicle is sweet. Putting a satchel charge into it and suicide bombing a grocery store full of bambis is hilarious. Know yourself, know your priorities, and don't be afraid to have fun. Don't fall for the "Don't get attached to your gear" bullshit. You will die, but the sting should never go away. This is not COD, this is not Battlefield, every time you fight you wager hours/days/weeks/months of gameplay. Know when to let it go. You lost all your shit, that sucks, you can try to get it back in a half-assed kamikaze attack or you can start collecting again. Again, priorities. Zombies may be a joke once you learn the tricks, but they can and will fuck you up if you play stupid. Every time you pull the trigger you have to commit. If you have to shoot more than three times with a sniper rifle you should switch to LMGs. Don't get mad. It's just a game. Don't panic.

On second thought, this would almost be worth it to watch people dive off the refinery in Cherno and eat shit into the sides of surrounding buildings.

Game needs a hookshot for rapid ascent and remote bean retrieval.
