Hahaha, This made me laugh a lot more than it probably should have. Came from the Bear Grylls memes. The community did not disappoint. *EDIT* also you have my approval. Although I doubt this will make it in.

Never had this problem with stairs. Ladders is a different story. Anyone tried getting on the roof of (I think it was) one of the skyscrapers or hospitals in that new city they built near cherno? Death Ladders. It's all like "oh cool, wonder what the views like from up here." *climb climb climb* *reach the top* *fall and severely damage yourself* Never died though. In fact shortly after i got enough food, vitamins, cleans and bandaged a wound and I was awarded with a "Healthy" status and most importantly; could see again.

Probably just scared. Or didn't talk English. I mean. I was bricking it on my first encounter with another player after a few times of dying from sniper fire.

I have to admit. I didn't realise how much I used Binoculars until they were gone. Hope you can hang them around your neck (to save slots) and map it to the B Key again.

I like the look of hunter. But I aim for practicality. The extra 5 slots on the Mountain backpack meant the world for me and my fireaxe after i found that M4A1.

We tended to leave one person on watch outside of the city at a vantage point at times like this. Then switch out. That was until we got vehicles. And we got used to all types of geared people covering in fear or taking potshots at us as we stroll into the cherno apartments. Good Times.

I just hate how tough it is on a fresh spawn. Takes a while to find stuff from my experiences.Then by then any liquid is like todays equivalent diamonds and gold but it's still never enough to quench your thirst. However If you've even been lucky enough (like i have) to recover from really low blood and sickness. For your character to have high energy and the "healthy" status on the gear screen. It's a very satisfactory feeling. Incredibly so after being blurry and having those annoying status's for so long. So in that aspect. I quite like it. Feels quite realistic the balance of drinking and eating necessary If you're st the end-game alpha stage like I am.

Yeah needs to be done. Ever tried to guide someone with low blood?? You're all like "yeah see the green bungalow over there!? yeah it has beans in it; you can eat go get em" The they're like "Wait what!? What green house?" And you're like "The one right there... Like.. East-ish" and there like ".Umm.... I can barely even see you dude" So you end up taking the lengthy trip with them holding there hand like a baby. When really you should be taking point or looking for more food for them. Being able to point and have them follow where you're pointing would be damn helpful. At least back in the Mod i could throw flares in the direction I was talking about. Side note; Are flares even in yet?

I agree. Needs a Timer and for the character to have picked up a loot item though. Just to stop the spawn rouletting. Although with the current loot system. Spawn Rouletting in it's traditional quite benificial state is already lessened from the cost side loot I've encountered (personally).

Should've just seen the blood and started running. Even though I didn't see them die. DayZ is literally one of the only games where I'm comfortable knowing I don't have to see them die after I hit them with a bullet or two.

Found one can opener so far. Does need to be an abundance of them though... Keep finding pens and motorcycle helmets (although motorcycle helmets is now fixed). Canteens, Canned food, Pens, Paper and other household items need a great number of increase (dunno if there's a server-side limit although I imagine there is). I mean... How can i go through a number of houses in Cherno to find 1 pen, 1 rotten banana, 1 rotten orange and a pair of pliers... In the largest city in the game. Praying it was to do with these authentication errors atm or servers updating. Either way. I'm quite missing the Mods drop system as of now.

This wouldn't be an issue if the damn streetlights and flashlights we're even half as realistic as the damn star constellations and moon we trust in guiding us through that pitch black darkness. Even if the flashlight gave of like 20% ambient light to the surrounding area it would be an improvement. We don't need light to reflect off of surfaces etc like in other engines. Just basic fixes which mean we can see more than 25% of our screen as we shamble hopelessly around the 4th floor of that high rise only to realise we haven't actually moved for the past 10 seconds because we've been walking into a fallen bookcase I didn't see due to it being 2 inches out of the beam of my flashlight when I glanced earlier... In case it isn't obvious. I quite hate how playing at night seems to add more of a nuisance clause to the game instead of adding atmosphere, scariness or making general decisions harder and instead gives players the excuse to perform a "necessary evil" that this threat is trying to fix.

TELL ME ABOUT IT! When i found my beautiful VS3 (now stolen :'( ) i drove it from cherno around all the way up to above berezino looking for a damn jerrycan. Just a singular one; theres plently of petrol station on the road i could stop at and just re-fill (Btw wtf can't we just USE a petrol pump?). Could i find one? Fuck could I. Had to wait till i got my mate on (i found a quadbike shortly before stashing the truck) so we could go around in search for one.

Usually always hide bandit bodies. This is often because i get to them first after death trying to take out more than one person. Occasionally i'll hide random dead people (say if i'm on a loot route and theirs one of those freakishly weird standing up dead people) just so it stops creeping me out.

You should've set up a challenge. An infiltration-esqe mission if you will. Should a player reach the hotel and light a road flare they win the right to a reward of your choice. Catch is you/your team are not allowed within 100-150 meters of the hotel itself. I'm thinking about organising something of the same sort or a Hunger Games type thing. Either way if you do this record it. It'd be interesting to see whether people start effectively using smoke grenades etc or just make mad dashes and attempt to light the flare.

I think its a good idea. But need to sort the hacking primarily. No point if you can just spawn it in again. Shame about any rarities like antibiotics. Although i still fail to see why there would be so much blood bags (which are meant to be used in a certain period of time) opposed to antibiotics... Maybe it's just me. Anyways rant over. This is a good plan; if the hacking problem ceased to exist however.

So the hero skin was the reason I had those OH-SO-Awesome Fingerless gloves. Of course this only justifies me loosing it by killing that bandit and his friend. Any info accurate on how much you loose (or hopefully gain) for ridding the world of bandits?

The best things being one of those snipers. But covering your friends in Elektro. Only to see a fellow player setup on a hill near by. Also accompanied by a low geared friend of theirs. They clash in the same firestation but only hear each other, one above, one below. No direct eye contact. The random makes a run for it... Towards his sniper friend. Of course he's been notified now. He crawls out of his bush to take aim. And so do you. Two headshots later and i can confirm i've been one of those snipers. And it was one of the most thrilling things i've done in the game. I need to use my friend as bait more often it seems.

What he said ^ But at the same time... If i had an issue so big it physically stopped me from playing my game in some instances i'd section it out and remove it for the time being... I fail to see why it hasn't been done here because as far as i'm concerned dead army zombies fail to add anything to the game as it stands... Even atmosphere for me... DayZ kinda does that on it's own.

Wow; just unlucky. Been playing for exactly 3 days over a month now. Had 2 Ghillies but seen around 6 (given to friends), worn around 2 or 3 sets of Camo gear. Recently got the largest Coyote backpack. I can't count how much AS50's we have or have seen. On my first day in the game i was given NVG's a GPS and the majority of the tool belt and handed a pair of Range Finders so i could help practice sniping by hunting animals. Owned 3 ATV's (on separate occasions; found on the same server). A big army transport truck (the VS3). Found a civilian truck the last time i played (lost it due to a server restart). Found around 3 boats... The list goes on. In other words it helps a hell of a lot to have friends who play regularly. But equally to hit Airports, crash sites and vehicle spawns as often as possible. Edit; oh and i had a pedal bike... fun times. Changed server due to suspected hacking shortly after however.

I'm in a backwards situation for some. On my server stuff saves in tents perfectly fine. But putting stuff in any of our vehicles and then going through a server restart makes the stuff which was originally inside of it disappear and be replaced by the items which were inside the vehicle when we found it... Kinda frustrating when you're on your way back to base camp and BOOM! restarts your have to find your vehicle only to know anything you had is gone. Hell; we lost a whole vehicle because of it. Literally no where to be seen after we spent so much time fixing it... Fucking Alphas >_>

Practice. Get used to the sniper you have equipped. Use Math. If you have a sniper that shoots at 800m/s and your target is 1200 meters away it simply means you're going to have to predict where your target will be in 1.5 seconds alongside the amount of drop distance that comes with the velocity of your bullets. Sniping can often be a combination or dumbfound luck, pure skill and experience. and FYI adjust the guns zeroing accordingly. No point having your AS50's Zeroing at 1600 (or whatever the max is) and a target at 200M away and then trying to nail a headshot. Bullets sure to go over.

I've seen it work on 1.7.2.4 In fact i have a video of it; just aint uploaded it to anything. Of course i was spectating from a distance butn i saw them deploy the chute and seemingly land safely... (i think)

LOOOOOOOOL!!! Oh my life did i laugh at this. Oh and for the other video's; top notch stuff.

I've always hated spawning there... Probably because i have to run all the way to Elektro to meet a freind or something... Never occured to me to run north to this "Zelenogorsk! " some of you praise so much,
