I hunt...bear, deer, birds, etc. (with Bow, shotgun and rifle.) I've never seen an animal run in the direction of a gunshot. It's usually in the opposite direction. ALL ANIMALS know the general origin of where the shot came from when they feel the impact. Getting mom & dad to buy a $150 pair of headphones to play an alpha as suggested by pretty much everyone is the only answer? Think about that for a sec. I'm not saying we need carebear handholding radar and red arrows pointing to shooting direction forchrissakes. Just a quick, white flash of light on a side of the screen. Adding this does NOT DETRACT from realism. it ADDS it.

So actually getting hit with bullets should not indicate direction either? Like a throbbing flash from the top, left, bottom, or right of the screen? Don't get me wrong, I hate overloaded HUDs and dumbed down COD style gameplay. I'm just not feeling the "reality" of spinning around when in RL I'd know where the gaping wound in my thigh originated from. Still not on side with limiting gameplay to headphones or die but I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Same on US #500. Logged in with buddy, both of our inventories got emptied by the time the game came up, Bandit with MG was standing beside us. Aborted just in time to keep my gun (without ammo), and some tools. Had other bad experiences on #500.

Ya not sure what's with some servers.On one server I was on, I found mostly czech backpacks...they were everywhere, and mostly empty cans otherwise. Switch servers when all you can find is poo.

Here's a forest fire caused by a crashed heli we found (fully fueled and repaired...likely a hack?). It barely touched a tree during landing in a clearing and forest was on fire for at least 45 mins., until I moved on. Could be seen from huge distance.

Kill the cow and quickly hide inside the body cavity. Enjoy your new hide armor/disguise.

These guys are are full of shit^. Any of the machines posted will run Arma II on very high, with very playable framerates. I build rigs as a basement passtime (put 12 gaming towers together last month, on various budgets) and most people on forums etc, think your GPU is shit if it's less than $500 Please do a bit of research, and check out each component, but don't fall into the trap of buying the absolute latest because someone on the forums says "if it's not $2000+, it's obsolete" If you wanna build it yourself, you could save a bit of cash but otherwise, these systems are just fine. Good luck, and happy gaming

Steam

Not sure if there's a bug or something...some servers seem to offer a good mix of loot, and others no matter where I go, it's all car parts, and hatchets...shitloads of 'em.

Ya despite being shot at regularly (even when unarmed), I still refuse to shoot first, and generally try to help new spawns on the coast. I get killed almost every time but hey, that's how she goes. We spawn and try again. By the way, To the guy on US 177 that script-killed me last night (after missing every shot) while I was riding my motorbike on the coast (ghillie suit, sniper rifle, all tools, NVG, lots of food) you're a really shity shot, and I still found my body and gear before you did.

Standalone will be for iOS only, then Wii and Xbox...soyou get to really enjoy the hatchet hacking action. It will come with a "beans & soda" accessory pack where you really get to open a can and toss it at the hospital windows. PC version will no longer be supported because too many keyboard keys are making people's eyes cross. Looking forward to enjoying it on my iphone while driving.

Two words: Shopping carts. I want a Screenshot of my ghillied sniper rolling hobo style But on a serious note: - more buildings to enter - option to bury gear in a cache (with a thin post marker)...alternative to tent with less visibility - Re-evaluate gun choices. Examples: Why the 1886...and with shotgun shells? Make it the Winchester 1894 .30-.30 (quick to reload, powerful, plentiful and accurate). Add a .22 (maybe with optional subsonic ammo, and low-power scope) very quiet but weak except for headshots. The best zombie plinker....a bit less military stuff - character customization -some reward for survival or achieving things...a way to score or gauge your experience as aplayer - shopping carts...that's what this boils down to

Can we dupe them and run a puppy mill?

Good old Elek. power plant action. Can the glass in the tower be shot through? anyone know?

Nice post TheL337x Contributing memmber of the community. That shit stopped getting lols after the CS 1.6 days.

Same just happened to me on US 1345. Coincidence? Just minding my own business running on a nowhere road in the north, after 12 hours on my character, and having some decent shit collected (all the essential tools, M9, Kobra,) Instantly teleported to beach, dead. Logged back in, but got stuck at "Loading" , most people were also gone (kicked/killed). IF it's the admin, please fuck off...if not, fuckoff anyway whoever you are. School starts soon for you.

He failed cuz you logged. In a way that's a still a success.

Great idea.

Bears should be very rare. Maybe one or two on the map at any one time. They could roam and destroy tents. Wolves should also still be rare...maybe a low chance to spawn near players that don't move for a long time (snipers). It's like they're homing in on a scent. Not a terrible idea.

Sweet retribution

Stats request: what's the farthest distance/longest duration someone has crawled with broken legs. For the love of god, I've been 9 RL hours on my current life with a broken leg. doing laps around villages in the north hoping for some morphine.

Maybe with a spear-gun, or regular gun underwater? I do underwater photography for a hunting/fishing mag, and you'd be surprised by how close fish let you get in real life...they don't tend to get spooked when you're in their element. As long as there are no specific fishing spots that can be camped, not a horrible idea. And as long as it doesn't lead to herbalism, mining, engineering, etc, etc.

This issue popped up for me for the first time today (playing DayZ for about 2 weeks). No issues at all, until I started heading for a military spot. As I got near, and looked towards the loot area, I got the same issue. Running Radeon HD 6870, all updated. Tried "Shift"+"-" and "flush", The geometry changes but still fucked...just a bit differently fucked.

Good point. ^ Holding Shift does make you walk slower...unless you double-tapped shift, in which case the control is reversed and you move faster. I did point out the Double-tap shift to reverse things but your edit makes more sense. Thanks. ...above links have been fixed.

I created a quick, printable guide for keyboard controls in DayZ. If I left something off, please let me know. You can get it here: http://www.filedropp...m/dayzcotrols_1
