I have a bit of experience in DayZ itself, however, with the semi-recent update to 1.7.2.5, I don't know how to update. I have Six Launcher and Six Updater (which I have virtually no idea how to use) installed, and I assumed it updates automatically. I only bring this up because the majority of populated servers are in 1.7.2.5. So, how do i update?

A while ago, I was thinking about choosing your character's backstory before starting the game. It would add a new element to the game, and would help people get started. I saw a thread about Character Classes today, and thought, "This person did it all wrong, it shouldn't be about abilities, it should be about equipment!" Basically, after you pick your gender, it allows you to pick your "backstory", which will give you a nice role-playing element and some different equipment depending on what you pick: Hunter: You came to this island for game. The sport of it and some food for your family. You've been here before, before the Zed outbreak. Your boat crashed due to a storm, and your map blew away in the wind. You need plenty of food and water for your hunting trip, plus something to hunt. So you have a hunting knife, matches and a wood pile, a simple Rifle such as a Lee-Enfield, some ammo for it, some canned food and bottled water, a watch, and the default equipment. You spawn on the coast. Basically, the hunter is your average joe. Basic combat and navigation make him a fair choice. Fisherman: A rumor arose that there was a large fish migration near Chernarus. The source: Shady Joe. Seems trustworthy, you and your crew said. You drove your boat out near, but a storm destroyed your boat, and your entire crew either drowned or were eaten by Zeds. You have Some canned food and bottled water, a hunting knife, a map, compass and watch, a crossbow with bolts, and the basic equipment.. Fishermen wouldn't have a reason to carry guns, but a crossbow (AKA a harpoon gun) would've been used on large fish. You spawn on the coast. The fisherman lacks in combat equipment, but can navigate easily, knowing where he is and when it is at all times. Resident: For those who didn't play Arma II (or didn't get stuck on Razor 2), you know that Chernarus used to be an inhabited country before the events of Arma II and DayZ. You have kept safe through both, and have maintained residence for years. You have medium equipment, with both a primary weapon and a sidearm and ammo. You have a hunting knife, a map, a compass, a watch, matches, cooked meat, soda (You can optionally choose if you're a Coke or Pepsi person after picking Resident :P). You may think the Resident is OP with all his starting equipment, but here's the catch: You spawn in a large city, such as Cherno or Elektro, which puts you in danger to other players who spawned there with the same equipment or other players who found BETTER equipment. If you like this idea, suggest your own. If you don't, explain why.

My first murder occured not even an hour ago. I was walking south to Elektro, and a guy asked in side chat if anyone could bring him morphine. I said i would come down and I asked him where we was. He said his exact location in side chat (which is a dumb idea in itself). I found him, and he said into his mic, "Cool, I'm right here. Can I have the mo-" *BANG* *BANG* went my AK74- Kobra. And, "Dick." went Liam, my first victim. Due to lag, he didn't appear to be dead, so I shot him a few more times in the head, until he said that he was dead. He announced to all that I was not friendly. I saw another man climbing down a ladder, but just before I could shoot him, I lagged out. Liam, if you're reading this, Jack sends his regards. And I DID have morphine.

Here's mine:

The thunderdome? I was on that server today! We all went in to some camp thing, some of us with ghillie suits, a guy said some profane question about where we were, and some message said to fight to the death. I left before a single bullet was fired and changed servers.

Remember, this thread is about holding water in junk containers.

I'm new to these forums. What's the Alt Weapon Thread?

Fat: Eat something when your hunger meter is green. Mr. Freeman: Kill a player with a crowbar. No Evidence: Hide a body. Mechanic: Repair a car. One day, I'll need this: Pick up a junk item.

Then why have it on XBOX 360 if you're going to use a keyboard?

1. Good, But it may be hard since it's actually part of the Arma 2 menu/engine itself. But I also think after the 20 seconds you should get a minute grace period before disconnecting no questions asked. If you're in a firefight, and you start the countdown, and you win, you should have time to collect your loot before disconnecting. 2. No. 3. Yeah, I like it, but I don't think keys would be great. I'd like to see people use matches to burn down a wooden building and everyone inside; that would be awesome. 4. Probably will happen soon. 5. Meh. Could be used to start a fire, if you angle it right. See that video of the death ray with like 2000 mirrors? It could burn through steel. I think 10 mirrors could start a fire. 6. No. 7. Maybe. 8. Yes to all but Long ranged taser and chainsaw, but I wouldn't be against a handsaw or making some crazy weapon out of a car engine, a fuel tank an axe, some duct tape, and a can of jerry (like dead rising). 9. Yes, maybe also make bear traps make you bleed, and add road spikes to make cars need new wheels/ tires. 10. Nah.

Or walk on your hands. :)

I don't want to eat spears, but fish and spear combat sounds good. Edit: Oooo, fish combat. I'd like that too!

Temperature hasn't had a huge impact on characters in DayZ. The only bad thing is the chance of infection when you're below 36 C, which is, by the way, really hot! I figured, we should have a consequence on both ends, so what about Fevers? When you have a fever, you're always told to keep hydrated. So if you get a fever, you become dehydrated FASTER! Yes, you heard correctly, you have to drink even more when it's already somewhat hard to find water or soda, which are non-renewable, unless you have a water bottle. Thoughts?

I want rocket to add bombs just so i can plant one on the side of the trade zone and kill everyone >:D

Nobody wants to crawl around for 2 days just to get off your belly. The game is supposed to be about moving around and interacting with what's around you. What the take, when to shoot, who to shoot. Not "should I crawl or should I roll"
