Because 5 years on, most every bolt you see will be one that has been pulled from the corpse of a zombie, it might be cool to add a chance of infection if you get hit by a crossbow bolt. The idea being that infected blood gets into your system when it pierces the skin. Maybe a 20% chance? I'd...

The thing that doesn't make sense to me is why is the chance of infection high when the stuff is stowed and not even touching you, but low when you're actually wearing it? Seems to me, it should be the opposite. I also agree that, if a female character can't make use of it, it shouldn't be in...

Was playing on your server late last night and a guy named Walter Myeres came on and was running around trying to kill people with some STANAG weapon, I think. He ran by me but I couldn't see what weapon it was and then as I was running away, he started firing semi-automatic rounds at me. When...

Awesome!

Rubber tube? I don't understand. I'm using Blender, Gimp and the BIS Tools. I agree about the arma 2 modelling tutorials... there are some decent ones for specific things and they've proven helpful to some extent, but there's nothing at all out there that could be considered comprehensive. I...

Haha! I've been there, Cheney... though, I've been busy with work lately. It's just that nobody seems to be on when I am. :)

So, after a crash course in Blender, I've just about finished the basic model of a handmade crossbow pistol. It's based on a how-to article by Edwin Love in Science and Mechanics back in 1963. I thought it would be cool if DayZ 2017 had a crossbow for a secondary weapon (especially if 2017 is...

Interestingly enough, the next server I logged into also gave you everything... A Lee Enfield, revolver and pretty much all the tools and bandages, even gave you an extra heatpack, painkillers and cooked meat in your King Hobo backpack. Even in vanilla DayZ, the above is a lame loadout. It's no...

let alone DayZ 2017. In my quest for good 2017 servers mit ze gut ping, I came across this particular server and was sorely disappointed: Yep... this is what you start with on this server... everything and then some. Ugh... I mean, seriously... what's the point?

Hey Shinkicker, I just played on your server and, for some reason, I couldn't gut zombies. I was able to gut an animal. What was weird, was I would get a flash of the option in the center of the screen, it would quickly disappear... and no matter how I maneuvered myself around the body, I...

Even with head bob off, I get a headache. It's something to do with the way the screen looks... particularly with a higher FOV. You can either get headaches from having to the character's head more to see the same information you'd have in 3rd person, or from eyestrain with a higher FOV... or...

I've certainly experienced the headaches. Oddly enough, I haven't had that problem with other FPS games. Perhaps, because those games don't require me to look around as much as this game does. I've had some drop in frame rate going to first person or being zoomed in, but that could be my...

awesome!

With some of the glitches in the game, 1st person only can be annoying sometimes, but I love it for driving and flying. I think it was on the Spirit of DayZ server that I parallel parked the bus from Polana in the back courtyard of the Factory... just to see if I could do it in 1st person at...

I'd never played with 3DP off before, it was quite an experience doing it for the first time with 2017. Certainly adds to the paranoia.

I'd be interested in seeing a sledge hammer. One hit to the head kills, obviously; hit anywhere else and you definitely break something. And, I've said this before, but I'll say it again... I'd love to come over a hill, see this: and think, "Wow... how beauti- Oh, shit! Zombie horde!"

Thank you for the apology, MacMerritt. First, I don't claim to be a tester (I helped out testing 1.1, but there are official testers now) or a code writer (though, I am exploring getting into some modelling, which has got me looking at code). What I said on your server after you said that the...

Because you want to add it?

Thanks, Hellborn. I'm looking forward to what's coming up. With all the variations on DayZ that are out there now, I find myself playing 2017 pretty much exclusively at the moment. It's the closest thing to what I hoped to find when, back in the fall last year, I typed in "zombie video game"...

Oh, great... yet another reason to have people gather in Cherno. ;) Food is health... it's a game metaphor. Regaining full health from a blood bag is unrealistic because blood bags don't heal gunshot wounds, they take an hour to give and you can't really receive one more than once every few...
