Jasper (DayZ)

I usually play on my macbook pro resting on my lap while i'm in bed :) i used to be a hardcore gamer with the duel screen setup etc but a fast laptop is much more efficient and comfy :)

We have a bandit story section, but not a normal player story section. Maybe make a suggestion for one?

This happened to me also, completely randomly.

I actually just burst out laughing :D I would love to see these features implemented for sheer comedic value ;)

It seems there is quite an emphasis on realism within the DayZ universe. 24 hour day/night cycles, broken bones, fatigue, hunger, thirst etc. Such an emphasis on realism would imply these features would actually be realistic, right? I think not, at least not yet. In reality, one could survive at least 3 days without water, a month without food. In DayZ, you couldn't survive anymore than a few hours before blood starts myraculously squirting out of your body and your character dies a painful death. This isn't realistic! I suggest that the hunger/thirst system is revamped at some point during development. Perhaps making it a little more realistic. For example, thirst should last half a day before seeing effects, hunger should last 6 hours before we suffer fatigue. Maybe make the hunger/thirst level depletion relative to player activity/time running etc. Anyone else share the same thoughts?

You're right, well spotted. I can join US servers in only a few seconds, but all the EU servers take ages. Most of the time I quit because it takes so long!

I believe this is a glitch. It happens to me too :( Just hold out till the next patch and hope it is fixed :)

I'd have to disagree. Leaning round corners is incredibly easy, and entering vehicles uses the most used menu in the game (mouse wheel scroll). I bet most of these new players never play on vanilla Arma 2 or any of the other servers. If DayZ has done anything, it is good for the Arma community. Introducing a needed boost to the player count.

Rocket himself said it was pronounced "Day Zee". Here in the UK we say "zed", though.

I haven't seen another thread related to this issue so I thought I'd make one. I keep teleporting back to the shore when I log in. This could be related to the food and drink draining while I'm offline. This is becoming quite a large problem for me. I'm afraid to log in now because all my progress will be lost if I get teleported back to the shore!

With that grammar I doubt it! :P

This is what us modder dream of achieving, and Rocket has done it :) well done, all this publicity is well deserved.

The way I avoid the day/night system is by playing a server where it is day. So I basically never play at night. This system is therefore flawed. I would play just as much night as day if the UK servers had a faster day/night cycle. Maybe 24 hours = 6 hours or something.
