I don't think so, I usually just eat it raw.

I don't know that stalking two guys with M4s and sidearms is a great idea when you're on your own and armed with a wrench.
You've never met Mob, then.

It isn't like you have much to lose.
isn't this game meant to be on island? Just ran for 3 hours north and this is all I see
I think you have left the main map lol

Nope, map is a square. Sea is only on the east and south sides.
ah ok, to the east it is then! Hopefully I can find some food & water before I die....
Haha, I love ArmA but I'm pretty sure the map keeps on going, think you left the map.isn't this game meant to be on island? Just ran for 3 hours north and this is all I see

I dunno how you guys are even playing. I keep dying because I can't find drink or food anywhere. All I find is thousands of frikkin hats.

bro do you even drink your own urine?
Go into your controls and rebind left shift to turbo, makes life in DayZ much easier.
Thanks for that. Is that everything we should rebind?
Why I cant disable mouse acceleration?
According to Dean it's to interwoven with other things right now to simply disable it. But it is on their radar and will be fixed...

Of course not, but it's likely going to be a fairly fruitless endeavor. Wouldn't you rather just go and find things yourself rather than get so far and then attempt to overpower multiple people with guns? On your own no less.
Since running to the edge of the map I have found my now favorite mask, time to scare some noobs.
Choosing dark colors over earthy browns and greens huh? You'll be seeing that death screen very soon. Haha.

welp just got a new videocard and bought/installed DayZ, after the obligatory new-gpu running of Crysis (god damn that game still looks good, considering its age).
So I'll probably be back with more informed "how do i _____" questions after going over some tutorial stuff, but right off the bat I gotta ask: does the mouselook feel weird to anybody else? It's not necessarily laggy per se, but it's definetly...like...floaty or something. even after bumping down my new pc master race settings to normal.

ok, so everyone feels it? and it doesn't ruin the game at all (I find sometimes games w/ weird mouse acceleration stuff to be unplayable)? just something i'll get used to in dayz?
I think drinking a lot is supposed to result in the "full stomach" message but I don't get it either.

I agree with your first paragraph but I absolutely don't want to shoot people. It's just that if I'm aiming my gun at you telling you to surrender and you turn around and aim your gun at me I'm going to shoot. And asking if people are friendly never work. Your right, from now on I'm going to stalk people I see and then make a decision.
You can turn off mouse acceleration and mouse smoothing in the menu, but the options don't work yet. They are going to push out a quick fix for that.
I go back to BF4 and my aim is all screwed up for a round or two.

Working my way through the NW airfield. Was already pretty well geared up, but now I look like a real badass.

Never played dayz before stand alone but after a few lives figuring stuff out. Best advice would be keep swapping servers till us get a daylight one. Pass by any towns where doors are open and head inland. Try to hit a water pump before setting out as well.
Once u get inland a bit towns are not picked over as much. Fire fighter axe will keep zombies at bay, fount a ton of them inland. Bit harder to find guns. Ended up getting a few at a ship wreck, most military bases will be picked over.
Fount people up north are not as trigger happy, even met a group that could have killed me easy, they just let me go cause to took so long to get up there.

trust me, i've been playing dayz for years...you will get shot, dont trust people and try to stay out of their way. if you have a gun and you are going to shoot, make sure you are going to hit,otherwise expect to die

Yeah I don't trust anyone just this group of 3 got the drop on me in an open field, could have killed me easy. Guy just told me to not draw my gun and if I keep going my way they would let me go, took to long for all of us to get there just to have a shoot out. Maybe they didn't have ammo? Who knows?
Sure as hell beats spawning areas were ever asshole with a wrench comes after ya.
Been wondering this as well
I normally get about 30 'you have drank from the pond' messages before I get one of the 'I feel stuffed' messages.
I thought it was supposed to say something, that system is obviously disabled at the moment. You should be able to get full on food though.

That's what I figured since it was just released. Oh well, I'll have to pick it up later on.
For those interested in such things, I don't believe the mosin is going to be an effective sniping tool above 500 meters. It may take some additional practice, but the bullet wander on the gun is incredibly inaccurate above that point, to the effect that it is essentially a crap shoot. From all of the "target" practice I had last night, from long range (600+), I've found that it is completely unpredictable as to just where in the diameter of about 10 meters, will the bullet actually impact. This may be a design choice to prevent too many distance snipers in the alpha, but it is something to keep in mind.
I did have a couple of good shots on moving targets, but generally, I think that's going to be the exception rather than the norm.

Have you been playing?
I've only seen gibz on once. No one on Mumble usually. I probably just miss people.

It tells you that your stomach is full and if you drink too much past THAT, you'll get another notification that you're going to be sick and vomit. Then you're in a world of shit if you don't have food since you go into starvation status in addition to being sick. I died this way 2 days ago, scrambling around trying to find food or a can opener.
I still think, outside of greater spawn diversity and loot balancing, that the best way to combat serving hopping in all forms, loot hopping and ghosting, is to randomize player locations upon entering a new server. Go from Server A to Server B and you'll end up in some random location X miles around your previously logged position. So say you leave Server A inside the NW Airfields southern barracks, when you enter Server B your character instead spawns in western Vybor or southern Kabanino. You are still in the vicinity of where you left Server A, but not that exact position.
If you wish to go and loot those southern barracks in the NW airfield again you'll have to run there and expose yourself to the dangers that may be lurking, you can't just load into the building, raid it and jump to another server and do it all over again with minimal exposure and time. You have to work for it each and every time.
I think the whole time out or player death, or whatever monitoring system they have in place, or are looking to implement, right now will be too easily gamed. People will figure out how many times they can server hop in however much time, do that then wait whatever cooldown period there may be and start it up again.
As for the Hive itself, without the Hive the game cannot function as it does. If you want your character to be able to go to any server you need the Hive and shared economy, if you want individual servers that allow lots of Admin tweaking then characters will need to be locked to the server. Otherwise you'll have people going to servers with jacked up loot spawns and gearing up there and then jumping to standard low spawn servers and flood the whole system with their highend gear. Not only that but it would only increase server hopping since people will want to hoard high end items. They'll still hope from server to server in the barracks and take all the good shit and go stash it somewhere in the event they die they can just kit up with minimal effort.
Right now SA is missing the gun variety(there's only 4 guns), zombies(there are only 4 zombies), vehicles, animals(there are invincible zombie bunnies), cooking, barbwire, sandbags, temperature, that's about it from the mod.
Meanwhile SA has a decent amount of item crafting, though most still not implemented, greater variety of clothing and equipment, greater variety of food and drink and other items, better inventory system, weapon modding, a much more interactive and interesting world map and there are lot more status affects for the player based on hunger and overall health, though that system as well is not fully implemented.
