These Idea's can be easily implemented all you do is introduce new character animation and put the near death white screen as a drunk alcohol state. So? Shitting and choking on your food could be put in easily, too. Still dull ideas.

Manual since I discovered the mod. It's easy, for some. Perhaps come back for actual release? We'll be enjoying the alpha and beta.

Well, not to put to fine a point on it but yes, I am usually trying to stick a thumb into the eye of posters like yourself. In game, I am currently In the latest version, lying in the rain under a pine tree near Rog castle. I have been playing every day that I wanted to since I discovered the mod. I will hand hold you through. Hot fixes, as rocket has chosen to call them, or patches, deal with fixes to current issues with the code. They are released on a schedule entirely at the whim of the developers. We cope. We play when it works, and wait when it doesn't. I happen to be adept at making anything work, so far. Server admins ae usually doing this as a hobby. You see, grown ups have these things called "jobs". They have reasons for doing what they do. Perhaps they prefer 1.6.x and so choose not to update. It's their dime. If you'd like, please, grab a server somewhere and update it lightning fast! For me, I updated immediately via torrent and patiently connected to one of the dozen or so servers available almost immediately. After working for a couple of hours, I am back playing. Next time a patch comes out, do your self a favor and wait a couple of days before trying to play. You will have more servers at your disposal that way. I will already have two days of fun logged by that time, but that's life. You owe me two degrees of temp as I lay in the bushes responding to this silliness.

Elegantly face palmed. If you would like a stable experience, an alpha mod of a game developing beta patches is probably a poor choice. Unplayable for you, a great gaming experience for me. Good luck playing something else! Check in and maybe come back for full release, or beta.

Dull ideas. These can never be adequately simulated. Have some of each in real life.

I LOVE starting with no gear. Especially with the current patches, just finding a pistol and managing my 'finds' leading up to it is fun. Which ammo should I keep? Some of each? SHould I hope for that 1911 or revolver, or just save Mak ammo? Too fun. Sure, I die sometimes... but I've gotten quite astute at avoiding zombies and ditching them when I screw up, even with the 1.7.1.4 patch. STELLAR

Sounds like someone broke the first rule of Chernarus...

i like this idea This. I vote for NO STARTING GEAR. It is very doable. I've done it a lot of times by just dropping what I have and seeing where the wind takes me.

Not much argument can be made against passwording when the brass-il server is passworded 24/7. Why is that allowed?

My fiancee games, and we game together. She doesn't want to play this until it's a bit more stable, but I tell her tales of my adventures all the time... So no lying necessary :D . But if I had to... hmmmmm.... nah, not necessary >:P

A couple of early observations: I was on Seattle 23, I think. I can see those brighter circles where the zombies are. The closer they are, the larger the circles are. I can very slowly crawl up to zombies and when they see me, since I am prone, they go through the attack animation but don't hurt me. I then axe them handily and down they go. I found a crowbar and I was anxious to try it out. When I tried to pick it up, it showed in my gear, but I was still holding my axe on my character. I shortly thereafter found ANOTHER crowbar, and the graphic changed and it dropped the hatchet(axe) onto the ground. When I swing the crowbar, it makes a cool pistol firing/ricochet noise. I doubt that was intended, but it feels kinda cool, nonetheless. Edit: Probably should have mentioned that for my very short test, I saw loot including crowbar, food, drink, some ammo, a watch, &c. Seems ok, at least for the half dozen or so loot spots I ran into.

Also seeding, but I am a complete douche. Im hoping I can find a server to get some first impressions of this since I have about 40 minutes, then have to wait until tomorrow to play!.....

So far, I am loving it. I haven't experienced any aggro through walls. Yes, they see me from quite far off. I think that's fine. I have spent a few lives practicing losing them, and now I can do it easily, but it is time consuming. Of course, I might spend 15 minutes just approaching a barn. As far as starting without gear, also love it. It took me a while, but I finally moved north, avoiding the danger areas. I found some drink, some food, some ammo. Finally, I just picked up a 1911, and I feel like a king. Also, tins are fantastic now, for distraction. I've thrown them to save my ass or distract quite a few times. Great stuff. I think with bugs taken out, and a few tweaks, the zombie AI will be great. I notice that when they aggro from afar, and I am running, they catch me up very quickly and then kind of just cruise behind me. WTH? Either they are faster than I am, or they aren't. If they can catch me up from THAT far away, I shouldn't be able to run with them trailing me. So it should be fixed, one way or the other.

But... that's not what happened. You made it up. The tents are being deleted because of a duplication bug. This will be a legitimate update. The dev has said so. So your emo kid is not a factor.

Dear OP, An Admin would not need that gear. You logged in and, just before you could see everything, someone else saw your character and killed you. +1000 don't log out where this might happen. Run into the forest and lay under a tree or something. It's safer that way. Sorry about your stuff.. You WILL lose worse.

Righteously banned. Try being civil on the next server. :D

I fully agree with this. I love using the crossbow' date=' but can only carry 3-4 bolts when carrying other gear i need. Adding a quiver for the bolts, or just making the bolts have a higher ammo count (ie: Winchester ammo comes in things of 15, Lee comes in clips of 10, maybe bolts come in groups of three?) would make this often overlooked weapon much more useful. [/quote'] I made a suggestion for this topic in another subforum. TL;DR Quiver that spawns single steel bolts in your inv via gear menu. Limited uses. Able to restock via right click on single bolts. Although, I dont know if it's possible to implement this "limited uses" mechanic. seems like a lot of the requests in this thread will make the game too easy. imo a quiver would allow you too carry too much ammo and fire at will. the crossbow isn't meant to fight off a swarm, so don't stockpile ammo and try to use it that way. just keep 2 or 3 bolts and use it to single zombies with headshots. that's a lot like how some people want to be able to carry a melee weapon and a primary gun without losing bag space. the whole point of having melee weapons is that they offer a tradeoff to firearms and you're supposed to calculate the risks of carrying one or the other (or carrying both and sacrificing the extra bag slots) and make tough decisions. too many people want to have their cake and eat it too. You've just tipped off of the 'realistic' crowd's argument. If you've clung to it in the past, you've just abandoned it. In reality, you can carry a quantity of equipment. There is no mystical 'trade off' between a firearm and a melee weapon, and there shouldn't be here. It's because Arma is built for 'standard military' type load outs. Sure, a pistol in one hand and a torch in the other is possible. I would not be as accurate &c, but the engine does't allow it. THAT'S why it's not allowable. Not because you 'realistically' have to choose between them. Likewise, an axe and a rifle. If I'm doing things, I might keep the axe in my hand, and just plain drop it when I need to unlimber the rifle. I might make a sling for the axe, with a cover, and attach it to my pack as an emergency weapon and survival tool. Arma keeps us to the 1 pistol, 1 rifle/main model. Don't even get me started on how silly your argument against a quiver for the crossbow is. More of the same. Get real! I got to use an axe today, and practice evading a few hordes. Not too bad, but yeah, they do seem to spot you from super far away. I had one bad experience... But aside from clipping, and I think unfairly seeing through bushes, I thought them more realistic than previous builds. Looking forward to changes in THIS update.

Only kinda, and only sorta. Groups can still take the limited vehicles available in a map, take them off map (where their tent camps are), and then keep them there by moving and saving them. This puts them beyond the reach of other characters. All of this stuff should be kept in bounds. I consider it a bug of Arma in that it's built to keep you on mission, and the mission would fail if you just ran into the 'wilderness'... But with DayZ, you can use those limited vehicles to hide all of your stuff free of looting or reprisal. Yes, I know this has been discussed ad infinitum. But the vehicle fix is, hopefully, only the start, as is this. The two are related to a play style that many feel is questionable.

The mod is not fair. You are too attached to your gear. Don't make me say the "a" word or the "c" word.

I don't think you read his post clearly.

Has this really just become a gear grind/hoarding game for some? What a shame.
