GBTP

Awww... It's only part of the song...

Will Pepsi, Coke and Mt. Dew still be in the SA? I would think, with virtually no knowledge on the subject, that rights would need to be purchased to use Copy written names and logos, right? If that is the case, do you suppose that the rights to use franchised material have been purchased and we will still see 'Coke' and 'Pepsi' in the game? Or will we all be surviving off of 'Soda' or 'Pop'?

Hey guys, a question of preference: Do you run everywhere, because it's faster? Or Do you run intermittently, and walk more often than not in order to role play or play more 'realistically'?

Does it give you a KO hourglass?

Wouldn't it be hard to tell you were low on blood by seeing your skin was pale when your vision is black and white and pulsing in and out of focus to let you know you're low on blood? E: Sorry OP, that was kindof a smart a** response, I couldn't help myself. I actually do agree with you, those are both good ideas for blood loss, especially if another player could see you were very pale and tell you were low on blood.

Thanks for finding that Designer!!! Double plus bummer...

Definitely good advice, while it makes sense once you know how to use it, it is definitely a little tricky and unintuitive at first. The new patch is fine, they are working out the broken bugs and people are pissy about having some weapons removed, but getting used to the more formidable Zombies will benefit you in the long run and bandits will be less of a threat. Really just jump in and have fun, it's a great mod and you have a world of fantastic experiences, euphoric and crushing respectively, ahead of you.

I think it will be a good change, when you make the environment harder the need to survive becomes paramount and people will work together a little more, aside from people dying right and left on the server I was playing, everyone was way more helpful and community oriented, helping each other and rallying against the new harder zombies. E: I don't agree, I think the majority welcome the change and want to see the game get progressively more difficult as it evolves.

I like your offer but I'm just curious how long before an mod locks this thread...

When you find an Axe and have it in your inventory: Right click, select 'Remove from Toolbelt' Edit: Aside from that everything else will be part of the experience :thumbsup:

Haven't delved in yet... I am curious about it too, but can't seem to find anything to give me the nudge I need to actually jump in and check it out. And with the SA around the corner I kind of just want to get as much classic DayZ in as a can with the expectation that I will quit my job, sell my car, and abandon what little social life I tell other people I have to play the SA.. So... I dunno..

I was having login issues after coming back as well, uninstalled and reinstalled Commander and used it to update my games files and everything has worked smoothly for me since. Commander is still your best bet. Significantly less hackers than there used to be, but they still lurk here and there. I believe as of the most recent update you should be getting more heli bang for your buck per server. (Correct me if I'm wrong guys) Check the patch notes for the just released patch for a few new goodies you might find around.. Hero bandit system remains the same. All of your favorite groups are still around, in one form or another

To be completely honest I prefer Pasta in game...

I think that's a pretty cool Idea, I would enjoy seeing overall wear and tear on my characters, from scars and bullet wounds to dirt and blood, some you could get rid of, like washing off dirt like you mentioned, to some you never could, like scars from near fatal wounds. Blood doesn't wash out of clothes though, Not in any convenient way when you're surviving in the wilderness; maybe permanent staining unless you change clothes?

Are there any specific areas that animals spawn in, or requirements for animals to spawn in areas? some days I feel like I see dozens of sheep and goats and cows and chickens everywhere, it's like a petting zoo; other days (The days I need to find them) I can walk through miles of forests and plains and not find even a rabbit... Are there rules that dictate the animals spawns that being aware of might help me when I'm hunting game?

Beans are one of ways your character can replenish blood (Life) and food, while beans, through virtue of what they are, don't have any special benefit over any other food, they have become a popular point of focus for the community and have become somewhat iconic in the context of the game. Edit: You're welcome for a helpful response...

Official servers will save your character data and placement across servers, custom servers will track their own player data. In DayZ Commander you have the option across the filter options to the right of the window that will 'Hide Unofficial' that way, until you're more familiar with servers you will always have your character. Edit: You don't have to do anything special or end the game in any specific way for the server to save your character. But I agree with Mr. Mouse, aside from a few little easy to miss things, like 'removing the axe from your toolbelt in order to use it as a weapon' (which I didn't know for months and months of playing) part of the beauty of the game is trial and error

While I feel like implementing a punishment system for PK would go against the core of DayZ as a sandbox adventure game and I don't believe putting more limitations on an already exceptionally limiting game, I agree with the OP, it's frustrating to get killed constantly, I have adapted a very cautious paranoid approach to other players. But I do not agree with many of you who think that killing would be part of the survival instinct of this kind of environment, neither emotionally or psychologically. The emotional and intellectual fallout from killing another person would be tremendous and I don't think most people here would be able to do it despite what they think. Videogames can't simulate killing on anything more that a mechanical level. The only justification I can manage is that we are all veteran soldiers that can operate any weapon, drive any vehicle and perfectly gut any animal we see, and would be desensitized to killing.

Back to the mod and forums after a while away and am seeing a lot of hosted servers that seems to have unique rules and features I don't remember from the last time I played. One neat feature, that has been somewhat annoying sadly, is servers that seem to have unique spawning rules (Starting with random weapons, or some supplies, etc) that override my "true" character. Is there a way to tell if these server rules will apply so that I don't keep joining servers with brand new characters and worry that I died somehow, play for a few hours starting over, then join a different server later and am back to my character with all of my gear and 'progress'?

It's just that sometimes I'll join a game and it will be my character, mid map, my gear and weapons; and then other times I'll join and be back on the beach with nothing. another server back to my guy, another and I'm fresh on the beach again. Seems like different servers have different rules/characters; so what I'm looking for are vanilla official servers?

Wanted to throw out an idea to the forum I, like any other overly cautious, somewhat paranoid survivor, am convinced that every time I open my map in game will be the exact time that another user will walk by, see me, and rain death down on my face as I am trying to compare geographic features to find out where I am. SO, I did a little google hunting for a good high quality image on the Cherno map, threw in on a thumb drive and ran over to FedEx/Kinkos and for like $3.50 was able to make a poster sized map I could use while running around in game and have found this to be a really cool way to make things a little more immersive, I still have the slight panicky feeling of not looking at the screen when I'm face down in my map, but I have really been enjoying being able to have the physical copy. I even folded it up like a road map, which may not be efficient, cause I inevitably have to unfold it every time I need to look at it, and then fold it back up in a freak moment of OCD like my character would need to in order to put it in his pack, but it's worth it for the little bit of added immersion for the game.

That's really cool, thanks for throwing that up!

I can't tell if youre being facetious.. =/ That's hilarious and fantastic!! Beans to you

I saw a seemingly homeless guy on the side of the road with a cardboard sign that just said 'God brought the Pain'. It stuck, and I'm not even religious or spiritual. Ever since I have used GBTP as a user name for a ton of stuff
