One random blog? What is this crud about moral objections and potential censorship? Take Australia pre-R18+ rating. Usually a game being censored concerned context, sadism and gratification. Is the player encouraged to perform or rewarded for sadistic behavior? Is it out of context? Games/movies previously censored in Australia before the R18+ rating was put in place were usually banned according to this criteria. Given that the player is neither encouraged to perform the act and there are dire consequences of the act (disease/potential emotional reaction devs could add) it's hard to see any calls for censorship carrying weight where there exists some type of adult rating system. Games featuring cannibalism (and gore) exist. The ridiculous nature of censorship is that Fallout 3 was initially banned in Australia because of drug names. The bloody mess perk and cannibalism that is fine! Explode some heads and eat their bodies for health! All good bro. But pop a few pingers (ecstasy, Jet in the final version) for some extra AP. Sorry your game is banned. Given that Australia was one of the most restrictive censors of video games (historically) and that very few games have ever been banned for cannibalism, (where it was featured) or violence (so long as it was in context and not overly sadistic) and this was before the R18+ adult rating was even in place it is doubtful that DayZ will find itself the subject of censors. What about game play? It's too early to tell. Once the initial novelty wears off we must try and measure this feature amongst the constant constant tweaking of loot, that many key features of the game have not been put in place yet (hunting/trapping/horticulture/medical healing system), that finding food is still pretty easy. I don't see how a final version of cannibalism can change much from from what it is now, it's never going be anything else other than skinning a body and eating the flesh. We simply need more content and features to see where cannibalism rests as a survival option.

I didn't see the none. Was thinking shit son is this some new radical design?! Do they crush and recycle those pallets into super condensed pallet pellets? Does it take all of those pallets go into just one shotgun cartridge? All of these questions came to mind so quickly and suddenly...a world of frightening possibilities

Yeah i'll stop you there and ask you why? Implement said change > My thread/complaint is no longer relevant > It's no longer relevant because the game isn't the same experience anymore (no more intense moments) > No more of what makes DayZ, DayZ. As mentioned shards solve your problem. But seriously though that's the best part of DayZ. Tension increasing incrementally over time. It makes the gameplay and all decisions so much more interesting. It's why you can yolo as a fresh spawn and not give a fuck but try that with a character that has been through a few scrapes and or has gear? I don't know why the sickening feeling of loosing the capital/time I invest in any character is damn 'dopafying', it's chasing the dragon man. The thrill of being feeling constantly hunted and hunting.

And you know what! That's just fine. I wish they had a compass and map system like the mod though...it can make aimless wandering a little less aimless and the best part is you can pat yourself on the back when you navigate to the precise location that you choose at random! (not joking, please add a proper compass/map, i'm so lonely)

I suspect they will add the ability to carry whatever you want willl come later, when as hicks said "a single bullet matters" (paraphrase?). Perhaps right now if you could carry two rifles you'd be a rampaging commando (two akm with drum mags for example) and it feels out of place for the game they want DayZ to be. It still doesn't make sense not to be able to carry stuff of similar size, weight, and dimensions just 'because'.

They are? I was under the impress that hunting packs were made from material that doesn't scrape, scratch and sound like fingernails on a chalkboard when brushing up against trees/bush so you don't spook animals. You know all the non-water proof, not hard shell material. I thought things got wet in the rain but hey I could be wrong. All packs come with seperate rain covers, either generic or branded. Unless it is a waterproof/dry bag by design.

I dislike it but i understand it, especially in regards to guns. All this military and new guns keep rolling out but nothing else competes against guns. Guns work well. Everything else doesn't. Therefore it looks imbalanced. Hey I loves me an AK/SVD/lever action/shotgun/derringer/vests/helmets/scopes that go on guns/X,Y,Z kills stuff...but what about something else that actually works? Like a peaceful tool of sorts that isn't a placeholder or hint of whats to come.

Shift tab or alt tab and the fourth wall crumbles down. Kills the good vibes and there are so many good vibes I want to keep up. It's not about direction per se for me either, it's about contours. You might know 'the way' but you can never commit the contours for the whole map to memory.

Gaze upon me you fucking filthy casual! (jks, but seriously have a gaze) Why use the ingame map? -Immersion -The in game map is superior to DayZ DB in terms of planning your movements around the map because it has contour lines and clearer topographic features. Ohh? I wouldn't say that. Here is a summary of your argument. Community builds X thing to make Y easy > this (according to your argument) overrides the developers vision /authorial intention = therefore make the developers delete/change their vision Y to suit community. Terrible line of reasoning. Welcome to the casualisation of gaming harteman, thank you for contribution. If one can simply "alt tab" to look at wiki/map lets clutter the whole screen with Borderlands/RPG/MMO style hit detection, stats, rpg, stuff, waypoints, hitpoints, auto crafting because the recipes are now all online and it's "so easy" because all that info is "just an alt tab away". What your trembling causal knees are standing on top of is called the "slippery slope". Luckily for me this is a survival game being built by a like minded dev team who won't implement easy features. Why get semi pissy about this? Because if follow your way we don't have DayZ anymore.

Shit Norwegians Say #1, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes" Dressing for the elements is the most important consideration for any trip. It starts with a layering system and materials to match conditions. The Layering Concept: What they are and why they matter. So what's wrong with the current system? (Descending in order of importance) 1)Well there is no layering system... 2)Clothing is not functional/limited utility 3)Is the current distinction between materials (ie: wool vs cotton meaningful) or just cosmetic? 1) Speaks for itself! A UI for three layers on torso and then legs. Now let's talk about function. 2) Top 3 Functionality Improvements! Making Clothes Fun! *Clothes need to be compressible. Down jackets come with their own sacks or stuff into their hoods/pockects as do rain coats, shirts and be folded, compression is they key...http://www.montane.co.uk/repository/Editor/assets/images/products/standard_featherlite_down_jacket_jelly_bean_bag_Product_image_FOR_NEW_WEB.jpg *The elements actually need to pose a threat! Otherwise even if compression is implemented without the threat of exposure in planning a backpack/gear layering is pointless if the weather has no teeth *Hats provide shade to ward off thirst. A beanie should warm you up faster than other headwear. A cotton shirt keeps you cooler in the sun due to the fact that it holds sweat with the combined windchill factor. Essentially clothes impact their corresponding body part. 3) I brought this up because of the fact that material types are in place but nobody including the devs has said much about where they want to take clothing/layering. Cheers!

To have twice as many bullets i would think.

Yes i believe it is! It looks ever so slightly offset. It's not chronic, chronic but it looks odd. Without the ability to overlay the compass on the map for grid bearings we will never know what the error (if any) there is. I fucking hate the compass choice as well, it's antiquated. Base plate compass is the standard not this geologist/lensatic compass, the latter is very much out of favor. It's an annoying regression and they double down on this annoyance with the aforementioned lack of map/compass overlay.

Yes...good...good Oi you two... Serious note. A complete/combined N and S Map is the best map because of the topographic features and that means those sexy, curvaceous, contours. The only time i would use DayZ DB would be to measure a perfect 1km stretch for the purposes of determining the navigation timing of walking/running/sprinting a 1km straight line but only if they add proper compass functionality :(

You clearly don't understand the process of adding a suppressor to a Mosin then, because you have to "change" the mosin in order to add the suppressor. A "youtube video" has has not enlightened you. So unless the game adds the required tools that are needed to 'thread' a suppressor on a Mosin the game should not have one, all about the authenticity. Lipstick on a pig, polishing a turd, all saying I keep in mind for the Mosin.

Yuck. The point of a mosin is to enjoy the flash, fireball and boom. There is no other reason to own one! A good sniper needs no suppressor. If you were snipining at a range, location and tactics that actually constitutes long range sniping sound is irrevlvent. Sounds like you want to play on easy mode in city pvp. Fire church mosin isn't sniping. Slings yes. Unfortunately for you you're probably never getting a suppressor for the mosin unless they add the ability to thread barrels via workshops and add the ability to lathe your own suppressor.

Oh ok...anyways Ghillie suits are....the most overrated item ever. This debate is funny. Ghillie suits go in and nothing is going to change. And you want to go around without a backpack with the current server stability? That's fine with me. Strawman about server stability issues aside the counters to sniper are the same ghille or not. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. There is a dissonance at the core of ghille suit in DayZ. Namely how much a player is required to move. Add the addition of hypothermia, rain, weather, hunger, predators (forthcoming), it just never meshed with how it is meant to be used. Add in addtional backpack micro management, lower ammo counts, where is the return for investment? It's getting pretty steep for a bit a long range PvP. I'm sure many will make the call but I for one am not quaking in my boots. Ghilles don't grant skill, they impart overconfidence imho. Rangefinders aren't that crazy rare, specialized yes but not a unicorn. You find them in sports shops, golf shops and hunting stores...i guess Chernarus has a pro shop!

So much oddness...or how three bandits wont kill you when unconscious at NEAF. Ran into NEAF and closed the door...this is important. Goes under stairs, zombie stuck in wall. I switch to the axe and bring it to bear on the the glitched undead and let loose a swing and another trying to beat its half petrified body to death. Then I hear a door open. Thank fuck for the newly added sounds. I turn around lean right to check. My other arms are a sporter with no mag (but one one in the chamber) and CZ pistol stuffed in my vest in same fashion. I catch a glimpse of wood and steel, half a body is closing in on under the stair well. There is but one option. I bum rush him. He knows the limits of what was thankfully a Mosin and he turns and flees straight out the front door. I yell friendly but how's it look to him? I'm chasing him out the front door with an axe. I close the door and repeat my friendly call. I check my inadequate weapons and wait. I hear two additional foot steps and not a sound over direct. It's three geared versus a single shot sporter. He came in for me they are not talking back to me I figure my best chance is to leg it straight across the airfield and hope they miss. Running straight out the front door I glance right and spot a player at the far hanger door leaning out. For some reason I stop and stare at him gun lowered, as is his. He stares me down. I stare at him. It was three seconds, my nerve breaks and I turn and run back inside confused. I just froze wanting to see what would happen. You are bleeding. You have extreme pain. You have a fracture. You are unconscious. Not a sound, not a shot. I figure my petrified zombie stair lurker has delivered it's infamous glitchy knock out blow. What a time for firsts. My mouse hovers over respawn but after considerable pause I let the scene unfold. After a full minute I hear a voice. "Don't worry we got you mate". I come too. My sporter, axe and vest with pistol are on the ground. I am promptly handcuffed. I can see the zombie under the stairwell. Time to work on surviving, "Did one of you shoot me? I didn't hear a shot? There is a zombie glitched under the stairs I think he got me. You'll want to take him out". They do so. I am missing my Gorka pants, my complete map, morphine and other things of interest but not my Riders jacket. Three people stand over and around me rummaging through stuff, pointing guns and not saying much, One gun is kept trained on my head and the others ravage the building up and down the stairs, my presence seemingly irreverent to the proceedings. I try to get some small talk going. I never mention don't kill me. That's the worst thing you can do. Instead i mention a fracture, it's my arm but i tell them it's my leg. There is no way to know how this will play out. If they want a play thing they might kill me for the inconvenience. If they don't they might think it's amusing to leave a cripple at NEAF stripped of quick means to heal. Apparently it's my lucky day. They wish me a sarcastic farewell, leaving on a perfectly good set of handcuffs on my hands as a parting gift and from the corner of free look i can see them watching my struggle from the bins outside with the cuffs as i stay in prone wriggling as much mileage out of my broken leg act as possible. I break free! I keep in character and crawl under the stairs hoping this is not a cruel jape and they will come back to finish me off. They had departed as far as i could tell but death is always a corner away. They left an axe and my bandanna is badly damaged but not ruined so a splint is a short sprint away. And that is how it went. A pantless, near death, sporter, axe wielding, Riders Jacket wayfarer makes his second yolo sprint from the NEAF. Down on blood. Robbed of gorka. Robbed of matches. "You are rapidly cooling off" (sigh)

Clicks on thread. Looks at avatar. Sees offhand .50 cal shooting. Thread makes sense now.

I use a mouse and keyboard, it helps!

Maps come pieces because if maps were not compartmentalised how big would it end up being?! As for what you at a minimum for a full map is 1x Map of the North and 1x South, combine them and now you have a full map. You can find parts SE, SW etc...and combine them as well. I am not sure what parts of these combine into a full map as i have not collected them all in on go yet! And anybody who says "I dont need it i know the map" is a fool. And please devs give us proper compass support, at minimum what was in the mod...argh!

They are common camping supplies, will find in most camping stores now. Come in reusable which produces less intense heat but you boil it to reuse or the other produces very warm intense heat one time use usally for higher apline trips.

Well...this makes me infinitely happy! Fun as it is chambering one a a time a trying to plink zombies in the head... Current rocking a riders jacket too...tunnel snakes rule! After seeing wobo pull off this insanely awsome shot i've gone back to chasing down a sporter each spawn. The sporter will increase in value the more small game/game is add to DayZ. The ultimate survival gun. Bring on the rabbit and bird plinking. The sporter is good if you accept it limitations in PvP but trying to pull of sneaky headshots or kills with it requires a good amount of planning and ambush tactics. Loads of fun. *It's all in the 50 round box ammo. *Low noise *Lower threat perception *Good zombie plinker with mag Additions: Your older x4 fixed and common 3-9 variable scopes should be added for these civi style guns (cz, blaze, sporter etc)

You don't say...

Fucking convicts...can't trust em

Third person objectively leads to stale gameplay. If you want to enjoy that it's up to you. You have no idea what you are missing out on. Prone and stealth...its a new fucking game, if only you tired it.…
