Arm Of Kannon

Is this true? I've tried 5 so far and didn't notice any impact to my temp. Last night I was in a 'cold' state and was disappointed that the heat pack I used didn't help at all. Best way to get warm and stay that way is to just keep sprinting. Although OP said he was already in a state of hypothermia so...

My memories of the early days of vanilla mod are way different. The desync & rubber banding issues people complain about in SA were 10 fold. The zombie AI was (is still) as bad if not worse than it is right now in SA. At least in SA I can't juke a zombie by simply jumping over a couple of fences or cutting between a house or two. The only "fear" to be had was not 'if' but 'when' you'd be teleported to the coast or NWAF and killed by script kiddies. The only thing that's kept the dream alive for me with the mods and SA is the pure sandbox experience on huge maps and authentic player/PVP interaction.

Sounds like SA at the moment unfortunately. I died running along a road next to a rocky cliff. There were a couple smallish boulders sticking up out of the ground. My characters foot hit between them and dipped maybe a inch, then "you are dead". It's going to be impossible for them to repair every weird glitch on such a huge map, let's just hope they get at the main ones like breaking your legs inside common structures. Plus it would be great if they could start sorting out the sound issues sooner than later.

I got the old red chain "no message received" the other night. Log into a new server, start moving out of the middle of the field I was in, and I receive the "my feet are sore" messages. Look at my gear and sure enough my shoes are missing, and my pack is gone too :(. I had to run pretty far to a town to get civ loot. Made me wonder if there was any detrimental side effects yet, or if it was still just a message? In an earlier life I managed to log in stuck inside a wall, and had to come up with a way to kill myself or escape. Escape was no good so I took everything off and ran around quite a bit with no shoes on. Nothing happened other than the random messages that my hurt. Went AFK and eventually my character passed out from thirst before cold or hunger. Oh, this game...

You can totally use the stars to navigate. The Big Dipper points to Polaris, so it's all good. Having a classy night sky like your pic would be chill also.

So then a fresh spawn gets a lucky KO on you, and you happen to re-spawn nearby. You are not going to go try and get your gear back because he is now geared and you are now fresh? Please.

Let's see some statistics on the numbers of the "silent majority"/"vocal minority". If people are complaining it's because they like the game and want it to be better, or you know, they wouldn't be playing it at all. If they are asking for new features like vehicles w/ rocket launchers, that translates into "I'm excited and anticipating what will be available when the game is finished. I can hardly wait." The worst Bohemia could hope for (in my opinion) is people stop talking about the game, especially with games like H1Z1 coming out.

Nice! Good to hear grenades work! I got 3, but didn't know if they did anything.

Blood test kit. - I've only found 2 of these, ever These spawn regularly in the Green 2-story houses. When you enter front, on the right there's a cabinet, and to the left of that is a small bench, where maybe 50% of the time one will be.

No. Top three reasons... 1.) Not to perv out here, but every thing is being pushed to be more "realistic", yet when I take my shirt off I'm still wearing a shirt? 2.) As with every mechanic being introduced it will be broken so every 30 seconds you will get a "You have to take a crap" prompt. You feel stuffed You have to relieve yourself You feel stuffed You have to relieve yourself You are rapidly cooling off 3.) Griefers / Not only are bandits going to shoot-break my legs with a full auto SKS and force feed me disinfectant, but now also turds. No thanks, I'm good.

I was on a server yesterday where it seemed that someone made it their job to clean out every barrack and house on the west coast. Then eureka, there it was under a bunk small, round, and grayish in color. You didn't get this did you Mr. Looter. It's all mine now...the things I'm going to accomplish with this lamp (on-off-on-off). BTW The large construction buildings on the first floor corner (room adjacent to stairs) is a good spawn point when looking for pistols and mags.

Sounds good. I run around as Michael J Fox ! KOS as you please.

^ This. Also every server is perpetually set to afternoon, the sun is always hanging out due west. I enjoy running around the map and agree with the OP's sentiment. People should try moving off the spawn areas, so I don't feel absolutely alone on a full server. :(

What? All professional streamers & youtubers are only interested in views, likes, and subscribes? If they were not they would become pretty hungry not caring about such things. Please elaborate on what you think is success in streaming/tubing games otherwise? Also, they are helping the community by exposing their subs to your game. I know Twitch and Youtube were a huge factor in getting me interested in the original Dayz mod. Then also keeping me interested in Arma mods (like Overwatch) long after hackers drove me away.

Sounds like the OP should probably check out a life mod instead. I'm always amazed people want to play this game PVE only. The best part (hands down) of this game are the surprise skirmishes with other players. Whether you're being ambushed or ambushing, the charge is second to none. Really gets your heart pumping and the hands all jittery. In my book no other FPS can deliver this kind of experience.

Well according to you, I'd be a the full-stomach-fool. I'm always carrying extra rations. I would only store them in my shirt though...zombies seem to hate when I have nice shirts. Even so, I do graze like you are saying. They probably need to reduce food loot spawns a bit, but I also think there's a fine line between fun game mechanics and punishing game mechanics. I'm not sure how long I'd play if I were starving-crazy-gray-screen and couldn't find anything simply because I was the 10th person to log into a server...I guess until I died and had to do it all over again?

The leather bag doesn't really blend with anything but haystacks. I got to try out the improvised leather backpack though, it looks pretty slick.

With axe equipped and two vertical slots empty in your inventory, you can chop down any of the chest high bushes, and receive 3 sticks.

I like where you're going with this, but it's just not realistic in a game where individuals will use scripts to grief and ruin others play experience...Though that's a whole other subject. As far as player interaction, from experience I find if someone does not address you in VOIP they are less likely to hassle you, or at least their only intent is to avoid you for now. From the moment anyone has used the words "Friendly", "Hold up a sec.", or "Buddy, I just want to talk!". They will be shooting to break your legs, trying to hand-cuff you, and then force feeding if they exceed. Also I'm not sure which mod you're talking about. I've had the exact same game experience since vanilla mod. Everyone puts up a chivalrous front in forums yet in game that's all out the window. The very last time I fell for the "yo bro, chill out I'm friendly!" bit was an Irish guy, but he said something new like "I'm cool relax.", and in his accent you know what I believed him...then after I re-spawned I decided anyone who tries to talk to me must die first. People who wave and move on get a pass.

Welp, yet again one-shot by a zombie. Danced around with him with a fire axe. Taking high swings that passed straight thru without making contact.Then "what did the five fingers say to the face?" *slap* "you are dead". Should have just kept moving while he clawed me blood crazy from 20 meters away. Now I know this doesn't all have to do with exactly how strong zombies are, and more to do with desync, but WTF?

I'm probably in the minority when it comes to KOS. I don't necessarily mind being killed by other players. It can be a bit annoying being shot at spawn or when I'm clearly unarmed, but to me this is a PVP game, and that's what happens. Even if you are not, I am definitely trying to kill you from the second I log in. Otherwise what can you do in the game? Run around get loot and avoid (or fight) the horribly broken zombie ai? You can seriously replace zombies with swarms of bees, angry postman, or rabid dogs and it wouldn't change the game in anyway...Well a swarm of bees might actually set me back in my seat. What's really annoying is what the OP says in the last paragraph ("I saw a man coming in the door with a mosin, he said put hands up and put the shovel down so I did that then he shot me and I died") You know what? Don't talk to me. I'm not going to be held up by you so you can act out some creepy BTK fantasy. Go outside and make friend, bro.

It would be groovy in a far out way if you could find fishing net, gather foliage from bushes, and add rope to create a make-shift ghillie that would cover your head and torso. Dat wut def b sex imo.

I do not think zombies are OP, but I do have an issue with game mechanics and the terrible desync. A couple days ago I was literally, no hyperbole, one-shot by a zombie... The situation was I had all pristine gear, motor cycle helmet, and healthy status. I'm positive of all this because part of my play regiment is staying in the green zone, while moving around the map as much as possible, and kitting my gear as pristinely as possible...sort of like an anal Dayz Katamari. So I'm going to leave a building where I logged out the day before. Checked my surroundings and see a zombie loitering in the street. Since the fire axe is garbage right now, I decide to crouch walk to the next building to the right as not to draw aggro. The building to the right is one of those red buildings with the arch doorway. Of course as soon as I make it to the rear door I draw aggro anyway. I close the door and move in towards the kitchen. Still crouched I slam #4 for my Amphibia. I turn and the zombie of course flys straight through the wall, I managed to dodge this attack even though I'm still crouched. Now the zombie is in the kitchen and I'm moving back. My Amph finally comes up and then the "action is cancelled" (WTF). I poke #4 again and the zombie swings again. "Slam! You Are Dead" game over nerd. Perhaps I was shot? Maybe. There are two large windows in that kitchen, yes, but I was moving crouched along side with the table on my right with a zombie obscuring the rear window. This is not the first time I've been in mid holstering action and taken an absurdly huge amount from a zombie, but it's first time it's actually killed me straight up.
