I've got a camp set up with four barrels and a protector case. Three days now, doing good. Found a bus crashed in the woods North of the NWAF. It's like a lovely Christmas tree, always has a present for me. Yesterday, an ASK74U and cow steaks. Today, an SVD and mag. I wonder what Santa will bring me tonight! I did see a broken up VBS truck at the bus station that seemed to have shifted 90 degrees in place after one restart and gone the next day. Not sure if the server or player moved it. Wasn't functional when I checked it last.

Found it at nearly every boat I checked on the south coast.

Having a good idea + skills at Adobe video editing = dev?

Took my friend about five shots point blank to kill a guy. I've put a couple shots into another guy with one only for my friend to finish him off with two shots from an SKS.

And how long would it take you if you walked the entire way? So it's fun for you does not mean it's fun for all. That's the point you missed. Hardly anyone is playing DayZ to view rendered hills and trees for hours on end. If that's what you like, good for you. You can do it yourself all you want. But if the game were to force it upon the players, I promise you the game will die.

Oh shit I thought that was somebody messing with us! I had no idea you got that from eating long pig. Guess that means I killed a cannibal, then.

Yes, running across the NWAF takes only a couple minutes. It's a perfectly flat and smooth airstrip. You should post videos of your scenic walks to YouTube then. I'm sure you'll amass tens thousands of views. Since it's enjoyable, right?

I had no idea the character can run 1000m in a minute. Why the need for vehicles then? It would only slow you down! Walking at 5mph for 800m will kill the game. Period. Never said the whole map. But I would like to be able to hit a town or two within an hour or so. Also, remaining on the coast is stupid. I book it inland ASAP. If you want to be forced to walk everywhere by the game, then walk everywhere right now as the game is. Tell me about all the super awesome fun you're having!

No, it takes way too long to get anywhere because the game is so big. I don't have 5+ hour sessions, I have a family, work, and a life. I don't have all day to walk from one town to another.

I ruined my friend's shirt at about 150m shooting about four feet to his side with one. Pretty cool gun.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is from the North side of Stary. 061074?

A reputation system would be the best way to keep it as honest as possible. Possibly link Steam accounts?

Yeah, eating and drinking isn't needed at all in the game. They should take it out. Also, zeds are really broken, so take those out, too. The weather system is totally broken. Remove it and the need to find clothes. Weapons are too hard to find. We should just spawn fully loaded with weapons. And since there are no vehicles, the map is too big. They need to make much smaller, like 100 m2. And it's too hard to find people. They should have a minimap that tracks everyone. And it's too hard to tell friendlies from bandits. There should be two teams. Also our kills should be tracked. And we should get rewards for every X number of kills, like helos come in and shoot people, or companion dogs that attack bandits automatically. And they should change the name to Modern Warfare 12.

Come on now, you've been on these forums for quite a while. You know how dumb people are.

This is perfect. There should be no way to suicide without a means. I will now make it my goal to fill this pit with as many people as possible. ETA: Obligatory "Lotion on it's skin" reference.

What is reloading like? Can you add a round when you have a less than full magazine or do you have to empty the whole thing? I hope they re-add slugs soon. And make it so you can load it realistically.

I don't trust people IRL. Why would I trust a random stranger on the Internet?

Randomly dying on upper stories of buildings is a known issue listed in the feedback tracker.

Agreed. The animations for the Mosin are pretty off, too. I mean... load the magazine, close the bolt (which would load a round) then work the bolt ejecting the around, and still have 5 rounds. It makes me want to hold my Mosin up to my monitor and screen "THIS IS HOW A REAL MOSIN WORKS DAMMIT" I will be ditching my AKM with drum mag for the first lever-action I find. I do have a revolver and a good stock of ammo ready too pair it with.

Just ate a bunch of cooked boar steaks. Took about 4 or 5 to go from no energy bar to healing.

I have joined many, many US servers at all hours of the day. Maybe 5% don't restart to 0800/1500 and actually continue after sunset.

Flashlights are useless because there are basically no servers running night. Plus you can just alter your video settings to effectively give you night vision. Once they fix that, then it'll just be on the server owners. I kind of wish that option wasn't available for owners and instead stagger out a compressed day/night cycle. Right now, i kind of "RP explain" it as I would only really move about in the daytime in a real survival scenario as it is anyway. But nighttime DayZ is a great treat that too many miss out on. Also, no "classes" whatsoever.

People who think that a "mental health" system should be in the game never had to spit in their hands and get dirty once in their lives.

I can't believe people still don't get this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Chernarus
