wooly-back-jack 294 Posted January 13, 2013 seriously it does.Yesterday I was in the middle of nowhere, all tooled up but had run out of food. My hunger indicator starts flashing and I start looking for periphial dots/animals and all I see is ths one tiny dot, it was a rabbit....bouncing along happily trolling me.Enough was enough, I chased it, I stalked it, abut 1300m later I finally got him! with my trusty FAL (lol) after 1300m I wasn't taking any chances with a puny pistol.Later on in the game, I made sure I had plenty food in my backpack, gillied up, crouch running to my stashed littlebird I look to my left...a cow, I look to my right, a sheep....then a goat trots along and joins the party like I am friggin BeastMaster!how has this game trolled you? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fwisky 105 Posted January 13, 2013 Happened to me once but it was a different situation, a sniper in elektro hospital was picking off people and i went literally everywhere to find a weapon like hatchet, crowbar, lee enfield, pistols etc, i didn't succeed so i went up there and i got shot.I spawned in elektro again to find a hatchet, i went to the hospital to find out that the sniper had logged off.

bloodtrozorx 145 Posted January 15, 2013 Ran off the coast after spawn since it was a killing field, 30 mins in and after more barns and towns then I'd ever hit I had found not one weapon. I spotted a deer stand off in the distance, snuck up and found an M1014. Finally glad to have anything I moved off west and found a barn hoping to find food. Instead I found a crossbow, CZ and Hatchet. Damn you DayZ, damn you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terminal_boy 860 Posted January 15, 2013 Rocket has used the Critical Need Detector algorithm as used by photo copiers and toilet tissue dispensers.The more you need something, the less likely you are to find it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmashT 10907 Posted January 16, 2013 I'm convinced there is some algorithm in the game to determine what you are looking for and not give it to you, dying of thirst, lets remove all soda and water bottles. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingflip 42 Posted January 16, 2013 One time, I was running through the NW airfield looking for loot, when entering the atc tower, I suddenly break my legs. Note, I do not have any morphine. So I soon fall into desperation, and start asking people for morphine, no one responds. After about 10 minutes I start taking sniper fire from bandits, no surprise there. But here's where it gets messed up. One of the bandits places a morphine right in front of the atc tower to screw with me. At this point, I decide that I will not be taken alive. So I stand. And bam, I go right back down. As I respawn, I begin to loot buildings and guess what.....MORPHINE ERRY'WHERE. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
