and be able to drink water from ponds, little lakes in wildernis. maybe filter the water first or use chlorine tablets to make the water consumeble.

after i get hit by a zombie i just look down in 3rd person view to check for bleeding. if on veteran server/3rd off server I just bandage myself if bleeding symbol turns red. I never put debug monitor back on after update 1.7.2.6 no issues with symbols staying green etc, they work fine, so maybe it's fixed somehow?

hoping it's gonna be fixed. i'm not closing a door for fun after entering a building unseen to arrange my gear etc.

"Killing someone in real life is so visceral that the military actually has to psychologically train people to do it, outside of the mechanics of pointing a gun. (This is a huge part of military training). DayZ also bypasses the feelings of guilt and depression, and there's no breeding, family ties, or anything of that nature. IMHO, The worst is that you don't have to sleep in Day Z. Sleep and agriculture ( in particular cattle ), and are pretty much what settled civilization. You gotta make arrangements with people to watch you and your cattle while you rest, and those arrangements have to be upheld via honor or well, you all get ragged tired fast / stabbed in the back / no one wants to watch your cattle and you lose your women." military training to be able to kill?? hmmmm, people have killed out of 'self defence", in the military that is not a huge part of your training, we'd be talking about using fists and boots to faces in that case, up close and personal. firearms used for self defense is mostly the case when intell fcked up again.. point and shoot is not to hard for a civilian to do. (all they need to do when live's are at stake) take a civilian to a shooting range and they are able to kill after the first pull on the trigger. AGRICULTURE? if i wanted to do that i would have got SIMFARM with a zombie mod.. o wait.. Plants vs zombies perhaps? the mod is okay, but read my argument about fresh water lakes etc, that's what i meant with realism... the info you are giving is complete, tactical, and you're thinking further than most here i guess. wouldn't want to make u think i'm out to kill anyone while you're lying on a hill at 1200m for some target practice.... good comments! btw, this thread just keeps going and going, seems like there's still enough to talk about stuff that's already been said on this forum. as mentioned before by other's.

is that a glitch/bug or just because zombies can noclip trough walls because they just can..? same for closed doors.

same here 20 minutes ago. no backpack/starting kit after i joined a server and got spawned at 'wildernis" with some body's on the ground and 3 body standing in front of me. all the body's where empty/no gear. chat screen showed: 'Gert-jan killed". disconnected, joined other server, spawned at coast, no gear/backpack but stil my military clothes/skin. all 1.7.2.5 servers... using six launcher..

gotta start over again. got stuck in loading screen. alt,ctr,del my way out. joined another server, got killed at spawn (in Wilderniss wtf?? there's nothing there!) there where other body's (standing up or dead) MY FCKN GEAR IS EMPTY!!! there is nothing in it!! No backpack either..?? weird: my military clothes are still there/my skin. now i spawned at coast, with literaly NOTHING! managed to evade some zombies trough the dark to the forest (rushed, no planning, fed up with empty gear) found some stuff but now i stil do not have: backpack basic starting gear NOTHING! wtf???

i like the idea that would implement weapon upgrades by finding scopes etc. ( like in s.t.a.l.k.e.r.) also the 'found at home" weapons would be great. civilian hunting rifles etc, .22 pistols (ammo CAN be bought in the hardware stores in the U.S, so could be found in supermarkets etc in the mod/stand alone) i'm just waiting to see if the new ARMA engine is any good. (especialy movement of characters.) Zombie spawning could be improved. kinda anoying now. I spawn at coast:there is a zombie real close to me? i have to swim to lose him, the zombie just walks on water and sprints after me? zombie finaly decides to actualy swim, and he's an olympic swimmer? A ZOMBIE!!??? (so swimming changed to RUN LIKE HELL) finaly trough the woods, got up hill and scouting an open field: I look at my front, no zombies, I look around: a few zombies. I look forward again: zombies just spawned ? out of nowhere? (no other player near me) back to the crawl around my goal plan... and more zombies.. just because...

o and played at hacked server. spawned at night, turned to day in 1 second. got killed, respawned on side of mountain and suddenly fel down and died.

VAN? vw transporter with an icecream sign? :P

had a good 3 hours play. result: Army outfit. crosbow makarov watch compass map binoculars army drinking bottle (2x, full) Evaded some idiot in the East of Elektro who kept firing at someone/zombies. no reaction to Direct Com's, but sitting real close to me (showed on map. ???) recruit server with only 1 player when joining. 12 when i logged out. hoping gear still in my pack after i disconnected.

trade for some Haribo candy? :P

thanks Scav! "how to become a killing machine"lol.

solution: don't ever produce any..... are you gonna react to everyone who's fed up with the downside of this mod???? is this something u didn't notice before on the forum? a lot of posts with crying baby's like me... still... u seem to care for crying babies. i 'hate" the people who just react without adding something usefull or understanding the complaints.

"Respect for you has instantly down graded its a fucking game its not suppose to be 100% on realistic." it's not? searching for food and canteens? breaking legs? losing blood? blood transfusions? needing to use bandages and painkillers? a MOD made by using a military SIMULATION game? appart from the clunky movement system and the little things i find weird (not able to drink from fresh water pools etc) hmmm okay, no it's not THAT realistic AT ALL!

o great... survived 6 hours.. then got kicked because of "client not responding".. wtf? updating to version 1.62 works but the install screen hangs at 100% and, if i join a server (just to see if the update works anyway) now it says it's missing files wtf??? another couple of hours gone to waste..

already done

u understand how i play! hoping Stand Alone wil have more players like u! i know the engine of the MOD sucks, but the GAMEPLAY it self is gonna be shit until A stage is..... free of.. errrr....right? :P i just hate the fact that someone has put so much effort in this mod and in no time the mod is being spoiled by hackers and players who don't give a shit and just fire away not giving newbies a chance to enjoy and completely get imersed..

BEST REPLY EVER! thanks! lol

your tips on how to use the Hatchet??? didn't need those because the steep learning curve of the game teached me how to put it in my hands and kill zombies with it silently. while prone, avoiding another player near me that has a friggin' large gun.. maybe u didn't properly understand i KNOW how to play this game.. Every one has been giving me the same tips, so maybe u didn't understand i am only reacting to stuf i can use? are u actualy mad i did not say thank you? to you PERSONALY? this is a forum, i am trying to obtain usefull info or point out the shit that anoyes me... fidling in the GEAR menu and clicking left and right mouse button made me learn real fast how to use basic stuff.... like reloading a hatchet... so realistic.. :P complaining about some one's language barrier on the internet is pretty useless... but thank you for your input any way...you'r the only one who didn't get my point and even being mad not getting credit for it.. relax..

Heb teamspeak3 client, heb ARMA OA etc al vaker gespeeld, maar ik vind het realisme erg vaag (ben zelf militair dus iriteer me aan alles wat niet klopt, bewegen is al onrealistisch, je kan niet eens over een iets te hoge muur of leiding springen wtf! :P ) heb DAYZ nu een aantal keer gespeeld, elke keer een uur of 4 en dan ben ik dood of heb ik een gebroken been of iets anders door een bug of zombie die naast me in een gebouw spawned. maar meestal door andere spelers die me kapot knallen van een kilometer afstand... hoe zit t met die bullet drop? hoe kunnen die lui dat nou zo perfect doen? een bijl gebruik ik voor zombies, liggend, en ja ik heb m in mn handen ALS k er 1 heb!

in a 'real life zombie apocalypse" i would rather try and befriend others i encounter and give them the ammo i found because i didn't find my own gun yet... if i cannot even USE the ammo why not give it to someone who actualy has a GUN!!?? i would use my axe for close range/buildings to protect him/her when they need to reload or anything. THAT IS TEAM WORK! in real life people would be happy to see each other and make contact from distance or signal to leave food/bandages at spot as a sign of good will... Or they shoot on sight and stay alone and have less chance of survival and be miserable... in this mod however..... hackers galore and playing alone is encouraged by this SOCIAL test.... sorry rocket, just say so if i'm taking this A'stage mod a little to seriously and mock about people who spoil the fun and survival it should actualy give everyone who's putting his time in testing and installing ARMA@ again.. you really made some thing happen in the gaming community!

or keep a close eye on the toilet sign wich is behind the fat person standing in your way when u finaly get chance to run for the bathroom.........

Another thing: WATER!!! i've been crawling my ass trough villages and along coast lines, in search of those damn Deer Stands near a LAKE. My water bottle emblem starts flashing... o dear.... HEY! A fckn lake! FRESH WATER!!! i dart to it (checking for zombies and ghilly fckers moving their barrels etc... NO OPTION TO DRINK FRESH FCKN WATER FROM A FCKN LAKE!!! i merily splash in to a pond or little lake (ish) but i cannot use my garbage dump... errrrrrrrr, bag full of empty tin cans and whiskey bottles to fill them with FRESH water???? I am friggin'standing in CONSUMEBLE water but no freaking way to actually do something?? whaaaat? a water pump in a zombie infested village that contains zombie germ free water? riiiiight! but i should be able to drink from it IF i have a military canteen? even a whiskey bottle is not of use here????? (never encountered a water pump so far, so could be my bad....) But a LAKE in a forest has no consumeble water?? hmmmmmmmm if u manage to implement drinking from a water pump, why not from a lake/pond in the great outdoors???? where zombies are minimal? wich kinda is realistic? Why only military canteens to drink from? Or is my version of ARMA OA DAYZ so fck up i get all this bad gameplay and bugged gameplay? i understand lakes/ponds whil get CAMPED by lazy bumz if this would be implemented but stil, aren't water pumps in zombie villages less dangerous?

Ben 29 dus dat zit wel goed! welke groep dan? en JOIN je een groep, en hoe vind ik jullie op bv 6launcher?
