Azznerak 2 Posted November 5, 2014 As I ventured I came across a tiny little village with a well. Hoping to relieve my parched throat I bent down, only to discover that the well, was well, dried up. Dang, I thought, so I chugged another beer and continued. After some time I came across another well, and discovered the same thing, no water. Then a third, fourth...

Tatanko 5591 Posted November 5, 2014 I do hope this is something they address with a hot fix, because it's pretty important. It won't be a game-breaker, but it's certainly going to be frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep it up and ill by you a beer. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gannon46 788 Posted November 5, 2014 we'll all just adjust our tactics and be fine maybe a little aggravating but it won't stop me from water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anderswhk 23 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I think I have drank from wells a total of 5 times. It's a non issue when food and drinks are so easy to come by, especially inland in the less visited villages. Edited November 5, 2014 by anderswhk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always thought that "removing" (whether removing from the world, or having the wells dry up) the water pumps would make for a more survival-focused game. Water is probably the most important aspect of survival, and with it readily available in almost every settlement, survival is really trivial. Without wells, people would have to treat their own water, either through boiling,filtering or chemical treatment, or risk diseases from bad water. Those WILL kill you in an actual survival situation. Or, they could trek to the wells that DO work, and this would give clans something to fight over, ALA water merchants from Fallout. Clans could charge players for well usage, organize water caravans to trade out away from the wells, and try to fight off other clans looking to take over the wells for their own profit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paxom (DayZ) 30 Posted November 6, 2014 But there are no such things as counties in the Russian Federation? Yes and no.They called just differently, and usually 4-5 times bigger than average US county, due to less quantity of native Russian people, and more Russian Land, than original native american chinise people land.So Dry County with Cholera and FEV Mk. III infection is valid way to put it. imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
