I like this idea, and all of the others suggested by OP. However there is one thing that I would change. I suggest that ALL data entered into the Diary be manual. IE: if you wanted to keep track of exactly how manykills you had, zombie/bandit/goats/clowns or otherwise, you would have to write in it manually. The reason I suggest that is this... Not everybody cares about the kills. I personally, give no beans as to how many zombie kills I have. But I would like to know how many times I murdered somebody else. It would enable players to be a little more, attached to their characters. And roleplay a little more. Though I think if they implemented the Diary, it would have to be hotkeyed. So as to allow quick, on the fly, entries to your siary. Just after you kill a zombie, chalk one more up in your list. Just my two cents.

Hmmmm... Best: On my third or fourth life, I had been running around Mysta and that area doing loot circles on the deer stands and Factory. One day I want into town to find food/water at night. I was playing with headphones on as it was a low pop server, <5 people at the time and didnt expect to run into anyone. Anyvay...I was coming out of a little shop house, and I see gunfire. I immediately have my legd nroken by a bandit and go prone. I then lay into him with my full-auto AKM. He was close enough, <10 meters, to me that Im pretty sure I hit him with just about every round. Anyway. I sas soon knocked unconscious from his attack. I died bleeding out, but not before I saw his name popup that he had died too. I decided not to go back and loot my Coyote Pack and extras. I started fresh. Worst: I was sitting on top of a building with four friends in Cherno. Just picking fights with people. WE didnt shoot at.anyone unarmed and we did loot their bodies. Anyway. Low and behold, suddenly all four of us die in quick succession. Fast enough in that nobody had time to figure out where the shooter was. I was last to die, and noticed that the shots came from extremely close. It was almost.certainly an AS50 of sorts, as we all died with like -150k blood. When I died, I saw what looked likw the smoke blasts of a shot fifed from right infront of me. I promptly died after. Damn invisible hacker.

Personally, I won't combat log unless something occurs that is CLEARLY a bug/glitch or a hack. I have only combat logged under the following conditions: 1) Hackers, in any sort of manner. I just peace out. GOOD BYE. 2) Bugs/Glitches such as SEVERAL zombies walking through walls and then breaking my legs when I cannot escape. Since zombies obviously should not be able to walk through walls, this is in my opinion grounds for combat logging. 3) An emergency in reality that requires my immediate attention. I have been killed many times, even when I have had AMPLE opportunity to combat log out of there. Even a few times when my team members have combat logged out, and I stayed to die with honour. Just my two beans.

Sidearm: PDW. Incredible versatility, with the firing modes. Full AUTO for laying waste, or semi auto for pewpewing headshots. All the different magazines available for use...incredible. Primary: M14AIM, hands down. Powerful enough to knock people unconscious on the first shot, definitely breaking bones as well. Two hit body shot kill? Winning. Sniper Rifle: M24. So sleek, elegant. I love it.

Hello denizens of Chernarus! As you all know, there is a FUCK load of walking in this game. Lots. and lots. and lots. So much so, that after making numerous runs to the NW Airfield, my finger gets tired from holding down W after a lengthy gaming session. UNTIL... I figured out how to auto-run. Now, I'm not sure if I will get more flak, or praise, for divulging this secret but here goes. 1) Run, in whatever direction you choose. 2) Press whatever button you have assigned to your "Steam Overlay" 3) Let go of run button, and close steam overlay. Profit. You will now be running without having to press the run key. You can't, however, sprint. Which I don't think is a big loss. You are still able to turn your head, and change stances (Standing/Crouching/Prone) and vault.However you will NOT stop running until you press the run button again. Note: If you have your Steam Overlay button mapped to the same button as your "Walk" key...you will walk. So change it. Tada! :D. Now this is something that you can do to travel places without having to hold down the key. Letting you say...write a post about this specific trick while you are running to Elektro! As I am doing, right. this. second. Only 1400M left! Hurray! Enjoy, friends :).

Dead people. Off of their luke warm bodies.

Bump, to spread the word.

I have the same keyboard! I have no intention of jamming something into place. With my method you can still use the Steam Overlay. Including the web browser and chatting functions, without filling everything with the letter W.

I was using my watch. But that was before this revelation!

You could...but this also allows you to talk in Steam overlay to your friends. Without spamming your chats with W.

So last night, my group and I got murdered by a bunch of bandits, including one that I think was a hacker. We got vengeance later on, which confirmed he was hacking. He had a G36 Silenced with an AIM attachment. Now since this weapon isn't listed on Dayzdb or the wiki, I assumed it was hacked and told my partner to put the gun on the body, and hide it. I've heard rumours that if you are caught with a hacked weapon that's not supposed to be in the game, that you can be banned. Is this true? Does the same go for if you happen upon a hacker's crate of weapons, and take things out of it...can you be banned for that as well? I am curious. Id also like to know if it's a ban worthy offence. Thanks peeps! =)

Think you're a hacker. I figured it'd be better safe than sorry, which is why I asked my partner to get rid of the weapon.

That's kind of the point, we didn't know. I thought he was, because he had that gun. Which he shouldn't have in the first place. Yeah it's totally possible that he came across it in much the same way. But we were also being shot at by invisible people on the same server. So, yeah.

Thanks! you are a champion.

I've been playing this mod for about...two weeks now, maybe a little more. I recently started playing with my friend and brother, as they picked it up recently. My friend Jungle and I were making our way east along the southern coast, from Kamenka to Cherno. We were only moderately geared, I got lucky and found a ghillie suit, but was stuck with a Lee Enfield/Revolver. Jungle was equipped with an AKM/M1911 and Camo Clothing. As we leave east of the Balota dock we suddenly hear gunfire that sounds like it came from pretty much beside us. We drop to the ground, and everything is quiet except for the slow rolling waves on the shore. Jungle and I are discussing the situation over Steam Voice chat, and agree its best for us to run our asses back into the warehouse for cover. We stand up, and no sooner do I stand up and start sprinting do I hear more and more loud cracks coming from just behind us. I see and hear the bullets ping off in front of and beside me. We duck into the warehouse, and I narrowly escape being caught in the open by quickly moving off to the side of the door and closing it. I back away slowly, trying to muffle my footsteps and the attacker opens the door, then quickly shuts it. Then opens it again. I'm assuming he is trying to get a look at me with his 3rd Person camera, as he is standing with 90% of his body unexposed behind the door. However, I can see part of his arm and elbow poking out, and take my shot. Down he goes, unconscious. I come out, pop him again to hear his neck snap and get the kill. A second man runs out into the doorway and just before he can get a shot off, I pop him with my Lee Enfield as well. He goes down. Jungle comes out, lays a quick burst from his AKM to confirm the kills. Looting ensues, hide the bodies. Jungle and I then decide to call it a night as we are both too rattled to continue playing. To Duke and Michael, my first victims, thanks for the great story.

Ive been killed for my coyote. But I killed that bandit right back.

There was honestly, at least 5 shots. From the guy with an Enfield. Possibly heard Double barrel blasts as well, but not sure. No automatic gunfire.

Yeah, it was in self defense. I wasnt really looking for a fight. I wouldnt have shot them on sight, if I saw them first. I believe them to be victims, while it was in self defense I did have every intention of killing them. Rather than wounding/maiming. @NaturaI no, it was not too hard. We had also been playing for a solid 3 hours before, and I needed to be up for work in 5 hours at the time we logged out.

So I've been playing for a few hours today, just running around between deer stands and small towns, and have noticed that my AKM is no longer killing Zeds in one hit. It is consistently taking 2 hits to make a kill. Is this due to the changes to the ArmA2 weapons that occurred within the last few days? If so, I'm not seeing the changes having been documented on the dayzdb website. Anyone else experiencing this, or am I crazy?

It's funny, because if you read the first post, I say that it isn't shown on the change list. But thanks anyway.

I know that a lot of them have been nerfed, but it seems like a lot of them are undocumented.

I agree that 5/sec is quite high. Though I think there should be blood regeneration at some level. Provided that your body is in good standing. IE, no broken bones/pain and high food/hydration levels. The regeneration could slow as your character becomes more hungry/thirsty. Say..perhaps at a rate of 10 blood a minute. Slow enough that it would be a huge waste of your time to sit down and wait for it to regenerate if your legs weren't already injured, and it'd be faster for you to find HP in game. Or say it could only regenerate up to a certain point. It could only regenerate to maybe 8000 blood. So that you are still susceptible to the 1hko's from Zed. That way you couldn't just wait around and reach full blood, you'd still need to eat/transfuse to gain back that last crucial chunk of it.

I have one. I just got lucky. Found it in a Deer Stand outside of the Factory northwest of Orlovets. The Deer Stand is almost directly north of the factory, on top of the hill, along the tree line! I was pretty stoked. Hehe.
