Nice. When I started playing I had some dude chase me with a hammer. When he ran out a building some M4 shots rang out and killed him. Sweet sweet vengeance.

Cars are not in. They won't be for a while. The devs want to completely remake cars before they put them in SA.

Steam and DayZ are having issues with their servers. They are working on it right now.

Not having to eat and drink every 5 minutes. That is pretty much the only thing I want atm.

All servers are public hives so there is no way to do that.

They said that it wouldn't stop all hackers but it would stop most.

It's issues with steam and the servers. They are trying to fix it atm.

I imagine they'll more down the road. Right now they have more important things.

So here is the first story on the forums of SA. I spawn in and it's a dark moonless night. I find that I had spawned just next to Balota Airfield so I start working my way over there. That's when I see my first player. He's unarmed and we let each other know we have no intentions of harming each other. He goes one way and I continue to the Airfield. When I got there, I decided to head over to the two story military building to see if I can find an M4. When I get inside I hear a distant gun shot and so I decide to take a quick look out the window to see if I can see anyone. I don't so I start looting. I found some jeans and soda but no guns. As I'm about to check the second floor, a flashlight beam comes through the door. I hide behind the stairs and plan to make a run for it when I can. The guy walks over to pick something up, when another player runs in with a hammer. The hammer man starts beating the first guy and the first guy starts screaming over direct chat for someone to help him. There was nothing I could do, so I make a sprint out the door. The hammer guy turns around and starts chasing me. When he got out the door a M4 shot rang out and killed him. I made a run for it to Cherno after that. As I'm heading along the highway I see a player with a Mosin heading towards me. I go prone and hide in the shadows. He walks right past me without even noticing me. I continued onto Cherno and started looting a building when the server I was playing on crashed. Hope you enjoyed my quick story. It is now time for me to get back on StandAlone.

Find a water pump. Put the bottle in your hands, and you can fill your bottle. Here is a link to see where a few pumps are. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/155161-thirsty-heres-the-solution/

Press, / And for the middle finger, you need to set the middle finger key in the options.

Open up your inventory, right click on the bipod, and it should allow you to deploy it.

I don't think there is much you could do. I have several friends like that and I just don't play SA with them because they have that KOS everyone mentality. You could try explaining to him how shooting people will break some of their gear. Maybe that will work?

^I'd like to know as well. I can't open cans with it either.

A friend of mine has been alive for 3 days now. I've been alive for about a day. I would be a two day old character but my first character was killed yesterday to a glitch.

I haven't really noticed if gun shots are very noticeable or not. I think that the M4 gun shots sound pretty weak. I was getting shot at by some guy with an M4 yesterday and except for the fear of getting hit, it wasn't that scary. I would like if the gun shot sounds traveled far like they did in the JSRS mod for Arma 2.

1. You can turn off head bob in the game options. 2. I think otherwise. The movements feels fairly fluid for me. 3. It needs to be worked on a little but it is fine for the most part imo. 4. I disagree. These little thing makes the game that much more difficult.

I feel you. I can't join any server atm.

To my knowledge you have to make sure you character isn't hungry or thirsty and you will begin to gain blood slowly. I'm stuck on low blood as well.

There will be cars added later. They want to completely remake cars before they release them so it might be several months before they are added.

I think if you use antibiotics or other medicines when you don't need them, it can/will cause you to get sick. I'm not 100% certain about that though so don't take my word for it.

I feel you completely. This all reminds me of when I began back in July 2012. The terror, the fear, the confusion, and the struggle to survive are all back. I no longer feel like a vet who knew what to do, when and where. I feel like a noob again who is struggling to stay alive for every second I play.

Nice story. As far as the zombies go, the devs still have to work on them. There should be more once they get things fixed.
