This. I think right now it's just the limitations of the mod - I'm assuming the hatchet on your toolbelt counts as an item and when you move it changes to a weapon? Idk how it works - But the image i had in my head was me having a rifle or w/e with a sling on it. If i get backed into a corner i can quickly swing it over my back and take out my hatchet or knife or sidearm. I'm not sure what the official name for it is but i've seen "Hatchet Holsters" in real life - It's a leather sleeve attached to your belt. I imagine you'd be able to hold your rifle in one hand temporarily/sling it over your back and hack at a zombie with one hand.

Just transformed back into a survivor out of the blue. Didn't kill anyone or do anything that would make me lose humanity. What gives? Edit: Nvm relogging fixed it. Ignore this thread lol.

Short story time ~ Last night i played for a couple of hours and i was having a bad time. Probably because i went to Cherno to loot (Bad idea don't do that) - I got infected for the first time since this patch came out (Been playing for a couple of days never gotten infected) and was promptly hatchet'd on-sight while on low HP and died. Didn't lose anything too terribly important... but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought about calling it a night but i re-spawned and ended in in Elecktro. After running through the center of the town, seeing a MOSH PIT of bandits and survivors with every low level weapon imaginable - hatchets, Lee Enfields, makorovs etc bullets were flying and people were dying. I ran like hell and managed to escape towards the northern part of the town. At this point i've got a crowbar and a coyote pack. I'm angry at the world and ready to kill someone (Which i rarely do - i play as a hero). I run out back towards the town and see a survivor armed with a G17 checking the gear in a downed little bird chopper. I run up to him, he starts to turn around. I crowbar him in the head and instantly kill him. Thats right - i got a headshot with a crowbar. I grab his stuff and start running the long way around sniper hill (Out towards the coast) when i spot a car. A perfect, undamaged, fully functional, fueled car. Barely believing my luck i hop in and drive to Cherno to pick up a buddy of mine. He's never seen/had a car before and he's amazed. "Since we have a car now" He says - "Lets go to stary sobor and get military gear". I agree and we head out on our epic adventure. Checking barns and other small towns along the way for ammo and fuel we make our way to the town. We arrive unscathed, park the car in the forest, and are promptly killed by a hacker artillery strike on our way across a field. Yup. Time to call it a night.

Awesome. One other thing i'd personally like to see if a way to "fight off" the infection without anti-boidics. Anti-boidics only help your body fight an infection IRL right? Well, what if it just did 200% of your blood in damage and then the infection is "fought off"? If you keep yourself well fed/rested etc it should go away on its own... Yes no maybe? >.>

Honestly after reading the patch notes i was concerned... Zombies didn't really concern me but loot being rarer? Well that's no fun. After checking a hospital for the first time i was even more annoyed - No medical crates full of supplies? Wtf? But after playing it for a while i'm really enjoying the ... the... "New Economy?" of dayz? Thats the only way i can think to put it. Loot is more valued... I'm actually checking small towns now instead of just raiding Cherno for my gear.

Heli with a crowbar :P The one with 15 or so portraits of the same survivor cascading in on itself towards the center of the picture.

Yup. And dangit man you've changed your avatar again. I liked the old one :(

Hospitals have tin cans and junk loot. Everyone one that i've checked so far is completely barren. Seems like a bit of overkill.

Glass wasn't broken. I was the first to get there.

I just went to a hospital without it's windows broken (e.i. - No one had been there prior to me) and found nothing. Nothing at all. In a hosipital. Just tin cans. If the rest of the loot is like that i doubt i'll be playing (Or at least, not playing on servers with the new patch). I understand loot (And particularly guns) should be rare, but i think looting was alright at the state it was. Not finding a fucking blood bag in a hospital is just frustrating and stupid - especially for someone who plays as a hero/medic character.

When i first started playing DayZ it was all main hive. Infact i think private hives were illegal - There were only a couple you could find and it was a topic rarely discussed/looked down upon. However, as DayZ evolved (And hackers became a major problem) the rules were relaxed and the community began to support itself via private hives. Private hives have many advantages - Strict admin control cuts down on hackers (Although there not that big of a problem anymore), and the game can be modded (More vehicles/military loot). Private hives also have many disadvantages. Namely you cannot transfer your character to other servers... something we've gotten used to in Vanilla DayZ. Also the metric ton of vehicles and military loot some private hives have gets old. Personally, I'm not a fan of private hives. I like the ability to transfer my characters... i usually have camps on the lower-pop servers and go onto higher-pop servers to interact with other players. One thing i did like about private hives was side chat - But many public servers have that now too. What do you guys prefer? Private or public? And damnit inception, you changed your avatar again.

First of all - No. Second of all - Quit being an insufferable asshole to everyone you respond to. Please.

Hero and whitelist medic # 56 I kill bandits on sight.

Can you guys recommend any to me?

What's the best name you've seen in the death messages? My personal favorite was a guy named "Fuck, i" So when he died, you saw "Fuck, i was killed". :D Share yours

I just had one of the most fun time's i've ever had in DayZ, So after rummaging through my home server camp a bit i log onto my favorite server to play on. It's a public hive sever with side chat, one of the few i've managed to find in my entire DayZ career. Immediately i begin a conversation with the community: [Muncywolverine]: any friendlies in elecktro? [butterz]: ya i'm in elecktro [Muncywolverine]: Wanna team up? [butterz]: sure man That simple. We swap steam names and get on VOIP. After derping around elecktro a bit, coordinating our movements via voice, we find a damaged bus parked in-front of the church. We spend a while trying to gather parts to repair it, but can't find a crucial 2nd wheel. Butterz tells me he needs food, so we head over to the supermarket. I take up overwatch in the apartment complex, while he goes down and loots. Then we hear the bus start up. After freaking out over VOIP we rush out back to the bus, taking seperate paths. We spot the player, a survivor named Hackattack. I've got a perfect shot, but something stops me from taking it. Then we hear m16/m4 rifle fire. After freaking out over VOIP again i make a bee-line for the hospital roof, and Butterz hides in the Church. We try to contact Hack over side chat, and we ask him who shot at him. [Muncywolverine]: HACK you scared the shit out of us, who was shooting at you? [Hack]: no 1 lol [Muncywolverne]: Man i got really close to killing you [Hack]: thanks for not wasting me lol, i'm hiding in a bush [Muncywolverine]: where are you now? i'm here with a buddy of mine [Hack]: in a bush [Muncywolverine]: what bush [Hack]: behind the church Ok, so i should be able to see this guy from ontop of the hospital, but i don't. It's getting dark, he's probably blending in with the foliage. [Muncywolverine]:ok hey go into the church my buddy's in there [Hack]: ok tell him not to shoot please After my partner tells me Hack's in the church with him and "he's cool", start heading down the ladder. "M16 RIFLE SHOTS" (Butterz in voice): OH SHIT DUDE I JUST SAW HIM RUN BY (Butterz in voice): HE'S IN THE CHURCH DUDE HE'S IN THE CHURCH Butterz has died As soon as i heard the gunshots i was in a dead sprint from the hospital to the church, desperate to save my new allies. I round the corner, pass the broken bus, and see the enemy. He's a bandit, in the back right corner of the church. I unload with my AKM, completely miss with about half a clip, and switch to semi-auto. The bandit rushes to the other side of the church, his pistol drawn. He points at the ground and begins to shoot. I guess he thought one of his victims was still alive? After a few more calmly aimed shots the bastard goes down, and i rush to where he was standing. He was probably trying to execute an unconcious survivor, i can't see who though, the bench is in the way. I round the corner and see Hack. I was expecting him to be unconcious, and was ready to bandage him. Hack, however, was apparantly so panic'd or confused that he fired at me. The slug hit me dead in the chest, but didn't kill me. I run around while typing "HACK HACK ITS ME I SAVED YOU DON'T SHOOT" He stops and apologizes. After gathering our wits we hail Butterz over sidechat, and tell him to come pick up his stuff. Thankfully he has spawned back in elecktro. TO BE CONTINUED - Don't feel like typing the rest right now.

You could try joining random servers and closing DayZ while the game is loading. This occasionally forces you to spawn on the coast, but may delete your gear. You could try finding another hacker to teleport you. You could try leaving DayZ running and playing something else. Eventually you will die from starvation or thirst.

The ever innovative degenerate hacker strike again. Edit: THE TEXT ON THE DEBUG MONITOR SAYS "DERPY DOLAN'S DEBUG DATA". Hate. These. People. Can't play on my favorite server.

Am i the only one? It's difficult to even find a full public hive server now-a-dayz. I always though the server-hopping persistance system was one of the unique features of DayZ, and i feel that private hives destroy that part of the game. Most people seem to think differently, and play private. That, or they play private on a different map. I miss the glory dayz.

Sounds like hacking and Ddos'ing made a baby and this is it. Such a shame. Hopefully someone comes up with a counter to it...

Woooo!! *Cheers* Edit: Is that what Ddos'd the server a few dayz ago?

Lol i had left a video of him running, something about the google "70th birthday of Bob Ross" homepage thing made me wanna watch him :/.

First of all they didn't just change the color and size, they added a sentence of immersion-breaking stupidity ontop of the already immersion-breaking size and color. My problem, as you could probably guess, is that it's IMMERSION BREAKING, and their deliberately targeting a large, succesfull server. Nothing short of terrorism and they all need to be publicly executed. Grab your guns and get in the truck.

... i... My god.
