Have some beans on your way out..

Survival at its best! [NEW] Drinking too much urine makes a constant fly buzzing sound around you and alerts other players.

Rocket, Please give us the option to drink the bean juice from the cans and have it replenish our thirst. :P

Wow, cool stuff! Have some beans. I was just searching for "DayZ" in Spotify and found a few pretty sweet playlists that people are using while playing the game.

Yeah I've had that since 1.7.2.4. There's theories that it's from a glitched fence, barbed wire, dead military bodies etc. I was riding on a bus last night and we had to repair the wheels a few times because the driver didn't see the barricades from all the graphical glitches. Hopefully it'll be addressed.

Well Rocket has talked about the possibility of creating hydroponic gardens and growing your own eats. Wabbits, be free!

I has to eat!

About the cows, yes they appear at night; I saw 3 last night. Could you define tearing? Typically screen tearing is when you look from left to right and you get "square" looking cutouts that tear in and out until the screen is still. Like BlazeN said, VSYNC will fix this. If you're talking about the polygonal anomalies that people have been getting since 1.7.2.4, I don't think there's a 100% fix. Turning Video memory to low seems to make it not as dramatic, but it sill exists.

Since 1.7.2.4, I have had multiple occasions where I can't get the meat off an animal after I gut it. I can inspect it and see that it was killed by an unknown cause, but that's about it. This has happened with cows, goats, and a rabbit.

Did you go swimming in water? You can lose your gear from it.

Here, take my Frank & Beans!

Anyone having issues hunting? I just killed a sheep and it gave me the options to hide the body or inspect it. I couldn't take meat after gutting it. Pretty funny when inspecting it; it told me it died from an unknown cause, or something to that effect

Does anyone have any mirrors to the ARMA 2 betas? Their website is down and i'm not having any luck finding them.. :(

Looks like arma2.com is down. Hmmm..time to go search for some mirrors

This is the longest workday ever... can't wait to get home and try out 1.7.2.4! I've read every post in this thread.. should I ask when helicopters are coming? :D

* [NEW] Consuming beans will now require you to find a can opener and a spoon.

I sill don't get why everyone thinks Rocket is out to get them and make changes for the worse.. this is an experiment and Rocket has some amazing ideas.. As he's said before, things take time to weed out and some things don't work out and get removed. This is an experiment! If we start spawning with pebbles, and the zombies can shoot back, then maybe complaints will be valid.

<shudder>

Keep in mind, we all bought Arma II, not DayZ. With Minecraft, we bought into an alpha that cost very little money with the expectancy to be a full retail game at some point. Minecraft didn't start out as a mod running on top of another game's engine, so if DayZ goes standalone, we will be buying DayZ and nothing more. Rocket mentioned the possibility of the Minecraft schema; we would pay a little bit now for a standalone alpha/beta or wait until it becomes a fully cooked game at retail price. Having a standalone game will also get around a lot of the limitations that the dev team is trying to overcome. Either way, I support this game and would buy it if it was a standalone product.

I'm not suggesting that it's implemented, i'm just stating that competitive people like having statistics or achievements for their accomplishments.

True, but a lot of people are still encouraged by a built in score keeper of sorts. It has meaning and is an accomplishment. There are plenty of console games that i've played a lot more than I normally would because of the trophies/achievements in them.

Wasn't that interview from last week? Edit: Nevermind, just noticed the date on the vid

I'm not seeing this option either. I personally like setting forums to display 100 posts per page

I just use DayZCommander.. lets me launch the game under steam. Works great. But yes, I've randomly shot at things too; the last one being an innocent stuffed goat.

It would actually be a cool mechanic to have alcohol to calm your nerves. An alternative to painkillers, but with a few side effects. When you're low on blood and panicking at the sight of zombies, the alcohol could calm you down so you don't make as much noise.
