...Shot in the dark here, but I think he might be talking about Shrub Rocketeer™, the player.

Famous Quotes That Apply To DayZ..Post Here

"I put bandage for you Pig <3" -Shrub Rocketeer™ I consider this a famous quote, and so should every Forumite! -
Medic here. Everyone is starving to death
_Mandrake_ replied to spuddy0108's topic in General Discussion
That's right, food found! I'm seeing something like 8 Metal Wires there, that's an average of 32 rabbit legs assuming 4 attempts per wire, and 50% success rate. -
Katyusha truck. Pretty please? B)

I don't really feel my contribution to the poll is a good representation of the average player - I go fully self sufficient ASAP and live the quiet life in the woods from there on in. My player interaction count is very, very low but when I die it's always to other players. Have never once starved to death, and zombies are nowhere to be found in the woods (usually), so... yeah. Last death was several months ago on Experimental.

I don't agree with this any more than I agree with the speed at which a player can completely strip and swap clothes with a dead character, which takes about six sweeps of the mouse and <10s. No to insta-changing backpack inventories. It should take time.

Happy to help. And don't mind Rags, he's usually like that.

I can confirm that the Leather Sewing Kit will repair the vest up to Worn status.

I kill Zeds with my fishing pole, any weapon you can find - even a hammer or wrench - can kill Zeds with a little practice. Hit for the head = dead Zed.

Punji pits, with the sharpened stakes smeared with pig or human excrement, were well known for their effects in Vietnam. Even if you survived the physical wounds inflicted, you'd be almost guaranteed to get a nasty infection and thus removed from the war effort - at great logistical cost as you'd need 2+ people to move you effectively, plus vehicle support, doctors, and eventually being flown home. Getting a horribly infected wound in DayZ would be a serious trial. You could achieve similar effects with bear traps smeared with excrement. Incidentally, bear traps were a firm favourite of mine in the DayZ Mod.

You'd use the embers to light the Tinder => Kindling => Wood => Bigger/more wood => etc. Edit: This idea gets a thumbs-up. I enjoy the survivalist aspect of the game. I bet Whyherro123 has some input on this subject.

Remove random laughing as a side effect for cannibalism please.

All credibility gone. -

Utter nonsense. We aren't the person eating fresh human meat, our "toon" is. Just like when our "toon" get shot, it's him that dies and the person playing isn't left with a gaping chest wound IRL. Please think. -

Absolutely not. This topic is being beaten to death with a stick at the moment, and I'm in the "More drawbacks please" camp. What you are asking for is, in my opinion, extremely self centered and ultimately toxic for the game. And please don't dare complain about "your playstyle being punished". It isn't a playstyle, it is barbarism and "free" food in the form of even more dead bambis - like we need more. -

I understand, my partner prefers to play 1pp/3pp for those reasons and so when we journey together it is on those terms. When playing solo, I play exclusively 1pp. I'm going to ask her this evening if she's interested.
