Darrus Dreadtiger

I happened to stumble upon a motorcycle in gvodzno and gathered parts to repair it, but no matter from what angle I approach it I never get the options for part repairs, even though I got the right parts. Is that a known problem and is there a solution for that?

...........F**K! I forgot to pick up a new one when I died last... and I ran past about TEN of them in my last night op! ARGH! Many thanks for figuring this out for me! ...Now I gotta find a toolbox before they find the bike!

Well, I can still mount it, but it has terrible HP. Can't even get up a hill. It's fuel tank is about half full. fuel tank and tires are pretty red, rest is yellow ir better, I think. I already poured a bit of fuel into it, so that didn't do anything. So, well, I don't know if it's hacked or not. It's a motorcycle with red paintjob on the frame.

I use it because it's there. I wouldn't miss it too much.

So... I'm curious. Are people still able (and willing) to mess around with vehicles by using scripts? I was just curious, because in the last few days I had found three vehicles (which is three more than I have found in my entire play time) and of course I hid them in my special, personal hideout where I also stash my stuff. Needless to say, at least two days later the vehicles are gone... BUT: Everything in my tents is still there. Even the antibiotics and the AS50. So, either I can only assume that they took the GAZ without finding my tents (the bus and bike were both right beside the tents) or they have been hacked away. I do accept that people might find and steal my stuff, that's part of the game, but I do NOT accept that people just teleport my possessions away. Being a demigod in a zombie apocalypse kind of ruins the balance. edit: Alright. My antibiotics WERE gone... Maybe I need another hideout. Off the loot maps most people use. I mean, I deem it safe. It's off the main traffic areas and outside of the cloud of cities and towns, so I expected random traffic to be around zero. But then, who knows, cheating might have been involved or not. We may never know -3-

Server: DE 2014 Name: Megaman (not that it is relevant) Time: 13:30 germantimes 19.01.2013 What happened? I spawned at my camp, a wookie teleports to me and shoots me to death. When I respawn he teleports next to me and offers me a weapon that's not in DayZ. When I refused he started shooting again. No additional material available.

He's still on the server. Have a look... I'm just waiting for him to leave to assess damage :I edit: well, I suppose the server got reset and everyone left...

In all fairness it happened pretty fast... And I was pretty angry. Sticky said, that it was about enough information and everything else was optional. Well, it's either this or ranting in another forum about how hackers are shits and ruin everything? That better for ya? I should make my own server and let no one in!

I usually never meet other players. But if I were to meet one, I'd probably evade them. I'd rather ask them if they need medical attention, but I am way too concerned about my gear. Maybe I should doctor runs, where I only carry low tier gear. Y'know... "Less than 50$ on this corpse at all time"

I wish people would keep their shit away from my ice cream. Ah well. I just served the meal I was working for all day and am blissfully content enough to remember that IDGAF. And as soon as the moon goes up I'll get myself a new vehicle

I was asking. Not telling. Plus, I didn't say any of the things you just said. Feel free to explain it if you will. Ah, what does it matter. It doesn't make a difference anyway.

Thing's this: Since a few updates ago I can not play on public hive servers anymore. I suppose it's something in my inventory that I get kicked for all the time. So, I was hoping I could get a reset to see if that works.

That worked, that worked like a charm! Oh thank you so much. Me and my buddy can finally play together again!

Pretty please? :< Also, I found this on the FAQ: "Q: I got killed due to x reason. Lost all my stuff. Can you reset my character? A: No, we can no longer reset characters or equipment." I just want to make sure to mention that I want my character reset to zero. Deleted. So, that SHOULD be possible, right?

Yes, it's "Script Restriction #41" exclusively.

Found helicopter, hide in super secret camp next day it is gone

Actually, I wrote a story on DayZ while I was on stationary stay in a clinic, but I am hesitant to release it because it still has many errors (chernarus has nothing to do with croatia!) and it would also reveal my favorite base spot, but still. My protagonist would spent times resting at bodies of water, mostly prud, to wash his clothes and himself. Also in my story the zombies do neither reek bad nor do they attract flowers. It's because animals and zombies avoid each other, so the time he ended one with the butt of an empty AK in the end he attracted more flies than the dead zed. The mornings in the wilderness would convey the freshness of the land along with the ocean breeze, but yes, especially large settlements could have a rather distinct fragrance among them... I wouldn't want to go into one of these supermarkets. And lets not talk about the corpse piles which (depending on what way you look at it) may or may not contain a fair share of uninfected people. I reckon it all comes down to how much energy one wants to invest into personal hygiene.

I know what this game needs. This game needs a BMP! So you can drive around being all Drebin. That'd be sweet.... Eye... have... you! ps. I ain't no La Li Lu Le Lo.

I once met a ghilied russian guy at night in the NE airfield. If he was hostile I'd probably have died then, but all he wanted was a blood transfusion. He gave me a NVG in return.

I got teleported one time. Back when I was playing for the first time. I've been trying to navigate towards my friends whom I played with... suddenly Thunderdome! We all logged out and chose another server. Bam! We're all together. Thanks hacker!

1. Use zombie custom face skin 2. Get Lee Enfield 3. Run through Cherno firing it 4. Run towards any unwary cherno dweller and hit him with a crowbar Lee Enfield - The Horde Maker

Hey, I've been thinking about something lately. Arma, whereever I hear about it is described as a simulation game (or Daddy game if you ask Yahtzee), but still the damage system in itself is very simple in it's nature. I daresay it is completely overshadowed by the damage system of a game that prominently uses simulated ASCII graphics: Slaves to Armok 2: Dwarf Fortress Those who know it by experience or just from reading or watching about it might either squee or smash their palms in the general direction of their heads. To keep it short: Dwarf Fortress is a mix of building, simulation and madness. You generate a complex world, pick a spot and build an underground fortress, dealing with all the things that make your life a living hell, like invasions, monsters, elves or lack of booze. But I'm not here to gasm about this game in total but about a single part of it: The damage system. DF's damage system is just as complex and oftentimes difficult to keep track of as the rest of the game. Instead of simple health points or separate body parts DF simulates each individual by the sum of it's parts. This starts at the single parts of a body, then adds layers of tissue, muscle and fat to each part, connects all parts by joints and finally stuffs a share of vital and nonvital organs into the whole thing. Every part of this construct has several states it can be it, reaching from healthy over bruised, torn, mangled, nonfunctional, broken and missing... How does that play out in the actual game? Depending on what kind of injury a creature suffers it tracks the damage to individual body part and the results of it. Slashing damage will cut through tissue, muscle and fat, might even separate body parts, blunt damage will pass through protective clothing and only bruise upper layers, but shatter bones and joints mercilessly. Piercing damage will effortlessly penetrate all layers and has a high chance to damage. Creatures that suffer damage to their joints or bones of their legs are impaired in their ability to stand and walk and may need crutches to move until it's healed, same with arms and grasping. Damage to internal organs might range from simply pain and bleeding over nonfunction of connected body parts (lower spinal area) or systems (nervous tissue), over severely impairing injuries (both eyes= blindness) to ultimately (major artery, heart) or instantly fatal (brain). Injuries heal over time depending on severity. Some will never heal like damage to the nervous system, others might heal quite quickly, like bruises and cuts. Broken bones can be supported with splints or plaster. Injuries lead to various degrees of pain that can impair capabilities, induce reactions like vomiting or lead to passing out. Damage to lungs can impair lung functionality, leading to shortness of breath... or complete loss of function leading to death in a handful of seconds. Of course, DayZ is a bit more action-oriented than this simulation strategy game, but still, why not consider it for a game that considers itself a simulation, especially with design goals including realistic diseases. Therefore, oftentimes, combat reports between individuals can be very interesting reads The question that's on my heart is... what do you think about such systems. Would you find such a complex system in your survival simulator stimulating? Maybe considerable? Maybe just bothersome?

You have been infected! You will cough and gradually lose health (very slowly) until 6000 blood. As with herpes I recommend sneaking up on people and rubbing yourself on them to share your gift! IF you are interested in getting rid of it: Antibiotics. Some times I've seen infections go away after relogging, but I doubt that's a regular thing.

No offense, but I have no idea what you're trying to sell here. There is really not much content in this "why you should"... ps. In my opinion BF3 and COD are decent shooties.

Still, there seem to be a number of bugs related to humanity gain. I hardly ever gave other people medical attention, but I don't shoot at people either. I think I'm at about 7000 humanity right about now and it keeps becoming more and more.
