I like the idea but as someone else mentioned you could have bandits sitting outside the area picking people off, one possible solution to that is a survivor message sent out each time you join a server: Your designated safe zone will be x You then give the player a choice, depending on the distance, they could go to the safe zone knowing bandits have no idea where it is or just carry on regardless.

I'm always cautious around survivors and their actions can give me an idea what they're about to do, I've had my weapon drawn several times with only a few feet between me and a number of survivors but I've not had to pull the trigger once. With a bandit it's different, I will pull the trigger before I even consider their actions, self defence or not, they've killed another player and I won't be their next.

Explain me how you could be "caution" with me' date=' if my intention is to kill you...? Are you going to point your gun at my head every single moment until i go away?[/quote'] My weapon is pointed at you, depending on your actions I'll either turn away or open fire, I haven't killed a survivor yet as people seem to react differently when a weapon is already pointed at them.

Why can't I join servers with BAF installed
~Ren~ replied to doonbugie's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This is an issue with some servers, I did make a post about it here but it's not been approved yet. I also noticed it happens more with the download from the BIS website, downloading via steam (yes I had to buy it twice) and the problem was solved on the majority of servers. I could not get it to work after buying it from the BIS website so I had to buy it again from Steam. -
Wildies vs Coasties. Which are you?
~Ren~ replied to dead ben's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I like the wilderness, freedom to roam and explore where I want. I've met a couple of survivors so far and wonder what their intentions are but if they communicate in some way and only want to loot we usually go our separate ways. -
For those who complain about/dislike temperature
~Ren~ replied to Addest's topic in New Player Discussion
I like this new feature, with a few tweaks I think it will work well, some things I've noticed during play: 1. Running does not increase your temperature. 2. Staying high and in sunlight seems to increase it by 2 degrees (needs more testing) but I was on a roof yesterday and my temperature rose by 2 degrees in the sunlight. 3. It does increase indoors, albeit very, very slowly. -
Everyone's not a bandit, they are sometimes forced to become one because of circumstances. I was in a barn getting supplies yesterday when I heard a shot outside, fixed my weapon on the door and waited, a survivor ran in and immediately saluted, I turned my back to him and either I or him could have pulled the trigger, neither of us did, I left the barn and watched outside while he was looting and warned him of any zombies closing on in him, I never seen him again. I will not shoot on sight but I am cautious with any meeting with another survivor.

Very strange, I know it works for me as I've filled up twice using the same method I described above, two different ponds too.
-
I've also had an fps hit, it's only certain servers for me though and some are fine.

Ponds working OK for me, filled up twice by the edge of the water and both times were fine.
-
Thanks for the hotfix :D The water bottle now works at ponds, that's great to see as I've just filled up. I did join one server and got an error message, I am missing cga.main file, the first server I joined the screen was flashing to black and then back to the game, it did this continually until I left a few seconds later, I got the same error message on another server but no black screen at all and I played for around 2 hours. I'm also seeing this error message too, only once during the 2 hour game and never reappeared: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/560942235956459111/D4B0F32B2B7FCE6FDBA70F4FAA286CDCEC094BF7/

It's hard to say as I've only been in that situation once, 2 survivors were running from zombies near my location and were running towards a barn I was about to loot, one of them said on chat don't shoot, so we looted the barn and went our separate ways. In that situation I think I'd have pulled the trigger, he suddenly appeared in your sights so could have been watching you for a while to make sure you were alone, he then makes his move. If it's clear that they want to loot or need help then yes I'd hold fire but if they say nothing and just appear then I'm very cautious and will protect my loot :P

There is an axe in-game which I tried to pick up but I couldn't select it, it's usually found near the small areas with 3-4 houses nearby stuck in a tree stump. Decapping a few zombies would be nice :D

Joining servers is an issue at the moment but I'll give you a typical example from earlier today, I started the game up and joined a server that was setting up, at the time I joined only 6 players were on the server, it was full within 30 seconds (40 players). The mod is very popular and I'm not surprised once you do get into a game, it's very good, even for an alpha.
