salines & charcoal. and half a dozen can openers. bitches patients love can openers. i wish we could custom-engrave them with TMW, its such a nice parting gift.

please provide a source for the assumption, that devs dont like the current availability of guns at current stage you do realize that loot and thus gun rarity has not been balanced yet, thus current situation is nothing to be happy or not happy with, as its a pure work-in-progress. Currently, guns - and any loot for that matter - are thrown at us testers in arbitrary amounts for the sake of testing. so yes - the devs are happy with how common guns are now - because now they need a lot of guns to test the mechanics and gather data. this has nothing to do with how rare they will be when loot spawns, rarity and item decay will be balanced in the beta

i really look forward to a shift from military weapons to makeshift weapons. i would love to relive my youth days with a slingshot :D

as someone who fought his way through this Dostoyevsky classic, i have to notice that you have a typo in the OP - the brothers family name is Karamazov i will gladly join the hardcore book club soon, my most recent hc character was mauled to death while i bandaged an Unknown Entity lol

ok i am honestly confused. where is the difference within the game mechanics of dayz? in dayz, we always have the avatar and the weapon together as a system. we dont have skills, so we can remove diversity on the avatars part. we dont mount weapons in perfectly aligned fixtures. if an attachment - for example a grip - affects how the avatar handles the weapon, and thus changes the avatars accuracy, then it affects the accuracy of the whole system, doesnt it? so if the end result of the whole system is an increased accuracy, then its working as intended? i dont understand why there is a distinction made between the base accuracy of the gun and the percieved accuracy of the avatar, since in the game we only have situations where both work together. whether the gun has a high dispersion or the person is a poor shot, the end result is the same, right?

i was sarcastically referring to OPs "before you fix anything else" demand.. but on a serious note, its not about having the sound files alone: this means declaring events that trigger sounds, hooking event handlers to those, and of course actually having code that calls the respective methods.. so the sound guy may well be finished doing his sound stuff, but the implementation may still be long ahead

yup, adding an immersive soundtrack is definitely more important than anything. who needs optimized data consolidation anyway. memory leaks? bitch please.. and all this talk about damage handling moved to the server, i already fixed that on my TI-82, it does now dmg calculations while the graphic function draws boobs.. cmon now guise, fix the sound!

and every hopper feels bitchslapped:

screw ladders. zombinfected should be able to leap the ledges we need ladders for.

the reasons are irrelevant. if you log in at a hotspot, you should be prepared for hurt. if you lost connection while there, thats just the quantum of additional risk you take, deal with it.

as a medic, i wear camo pants, olive raincoat, tacvest, tac helmet, gasmask, green montain pack, silenced M4 and a fire axe. if teamed up, one of us guards the acting medic and the patient from a vantage point, hardly discernible from a malevolent sniper. this is dayz. things are not always as they seem.

or you could just link the appropriate thread which i am sure everybody has seen as it is pinned in new player subforum: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159251-merinos-in-depth-video-guides-updated-jan-22nd-all-medical-items-to-keep-or-not-to-keep/

loot spawns will not be balanced until well into beta. until then, its all just throwing items at the testers in arbitrary amounts. any thread regarding "it spawns too often/not enough" is pointless until then.

also, punching zombies is obviously against the rules. didnt you get the memo? please, think of the zombies. we only have so many.

there was an excellent post on this topic by a community member versed in survival, explaining how the metabolism changes and your energy consumption and thus, needs, rise from 2000-3000 to some 15000 calories per day under comparable conditions

if the wars, genocides and cleansings of the last century are anything to go by, from both the world wars over cambodia to the likes of rwanda, yugoslavia and sudan, human nature is pretty robust and well versed at rationalizing the most gruesome deeds. also, why the fuck isnt this thread dead yet.....

also, berries. of the wrong kind. whatever kind that may be.

Many points to address here.. For once, the gaming experience is far from complete, so yeah, alpha As for the sociopathic killers, life in dayz would be dull without them, and i say that as a carebear scavenger medic My friends who are new to dayz report that they are surprised by the high amount of non-hostile players.. But hey, dayz is not for everyone, and thats good. Did the ruthlessness of the human nature drive you away? Deciding every time whether trust is worth the risk? Working exactly as intended. Thats the appeal to many of us. Have a nice day. Edit: also what michael said.

i actually dont understand why there aren't more character wipes considering the fact that the hive is being worked on.

so running around cherno pantless while playing "The Best of the 80s" through direct doesnt work anymore?

if we have a climate where ice patches persist in shady places, exposure to water by walking through ponds should be close to lethal due to hypothermia unless you dry by a fire for an extended period
