qww 287 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) no i read about 20 pages before i got rinsed by someone a few weeks back, have found 1 other copy, but lost again. its a cool book haha. on the subject of book, does anyone else do like me and read in-game? sometimes i read in woods or a lowest value house with a view where i can stil look at a hill where people might pass. i find reading in game to be a good feeling at times Edited May 9, 2014 by qww 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
real meatshield 424 Posted May 9, 2014 If I didnt have a tablet and access to gutenberg, I might read in game, especially some of these classics that are available. http://www.gutenberg.org/ is awesome- but just because it is out of copyright doesn't mean they have it- yet. Sadly, they don't have this particular Kafka title. Probably needs a translator for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blazinone 72 Posted May 9, 2014 I keep trying to crack open Treasure Island or Moby Dick for a read but I don't get far before I get distracted. I do love the concept. It would be nice if you could read while maintaining "some" peripheral vision though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qww 287 Posted May 9, 2014 well yeah you just have that top view which can be used, it kind of adds to the paranoia in a good way though, i knwo what you mean though, i think just alt view being usable while reading would be nice, actually i might suggest that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted May 9, 2014 no i read about 20 pages before i got rinsed by someone a few weeks back, have found 1 other copy, but lost again. its a cool book haha. on the subject of book, does anyone else do like me and read in-game? sometimes i read in woods or a lowest value house with a view where i can stil look at a hill where people might pass. i find reading in game to be a good feeling at timesI often resort to reading the bible while waiting for people to come visit me at the NWAF.. One time I sat down in front of the firestation and read the entire book of Genesis before getting up and eventually logging out. Of course I had no idea that while I was reading the player count had dropped to 2 (nighttime). lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I have an extensive book collection in real life, even comprising some first editions of some of the books in game, so I am not really directly interested in books in the game, because I prefer having the paper version in my hand, I like the smell of an 18th century book in the morning. But I do acknowledge them in the game for their rarity and I personally automatically prefer people who care about them in game, and who, like me, can't help but just check the title of the book they found on the shelf when looting.

real meatshield 424 Posted May 10, 2014 I have yet to read any book in game. I did it once, just to figure out how to do it, but that was it.Although I generally look to see what titles are dropping- the main reason I go to the top of the piano house is just to see what books are up there.

jayleann 143 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I read King Solomon's Mines at the moment. Always in a bigger city for the atmosphere. :) I wish there was a reading animation though, people find you like idle. That is bothering.

facePlanted 0 Posted May 10, 2014 Come to daddy, I'll eat your dog.Seriously, I started to play today. My first attempt lasted 5 minutes, devoured by zombies at the coast.The second one .. I falled from some stairs and broke legs, follows 2 hours of rolling on the grass..I'd like to meet someone in the game, since I was never able to get an answer on the chat and didn't meet a single playerover half dozen of servers full of players :((guess only 'direct' chat was enabled). So, apart the book, I'd like to know where you guys play and how to find you. I'll be playing for the next hour .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
