Human meat is free

Hot fix this week maybe? Who ready for vehicle persistence and the horrible static sound of driving two cars near each other?

keke ded thred

...

i know that guy

you don't know me you fucker

helgen no

>mfw you can literally survive innawoods forever with a improvised stone knife

inb4 you die of hyperthermia

Nope, been sprinting for awhile now and still fine

hello dzg, it's been awhile, is the game fun again? is it still a massive kos?

Why wouldn't it be? You think people just going to get along with strangers after society breaks down and there are limited resources?

jesus christ why are there a gorillion chickens around?

in the mod people where avoidant, tried to interact, stalker-ish, hermits, sometimes ganged up shouting "one of us" over voicechat and so on

ofcourse there was PvP town and sniper hill with a dozen duped bodies about, but by the time the standalone had come out (it was quite lacking in content, features and so on) everything revolved around getting some gear and killing as many as possible like it is an all out deathmatch.

how far has the standalone come along feature/content wise?

any chance to play with randoms?

Try getting in on a whitelist RP server. I play on the dayz colony and, while there is some KoS, nobody gets super bent out of shape about it and people seem more open to interaction. I can't speak for other whitelist servers, but the application for colony is essentially "are you a hacker and not 12".

I don't expect the SA to discourage lone wolfing/kos until predatory animals are out. Once there is something more threatening than the piss poor zombies I have hope things will mellow out to some degree.

I'm sorry, I have been out of the loop for a long time,
SA?
also can you tell me stuffs about things they added to the standalone?

sorry for all the bothersome questions and thanks for the info

>any chance to play with randoms?
No.

>how far has the standalone come along feature/content wise?
Not surpassed the mod in any meaningful way yet. Frankly a bit shameful.
At least basic basebuilding and vehicles are back so there's "some" endgame...

>SA
dayz StandAlone mate.

They've added a bunch of tents and shit, some vehicles, passive animals, lots of clothes and shit, whole bunch of weapons, and some other shit. check out the wiki for more details.

oh, also they've done many map changes (additions and touch ups mainly)

>At least basic basebuilding and vehicles are back so there's "some" endgame...

that's good, thanks
have a thing

Wolves are a goal for the .61 update (it's in .6 now) and base building structures (camo nets, improvised towers and shit like that) are in the game files, so that's something to look forward to.

mod was like that for about 2 minutes before it blew up on youtube and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

Either play with a crew of friends or go solo. It's retarded to trust a random. It's always been retarded.

While I agree with you, I met one of my bros because I decided to shelter and feed a random in my base back in the mod days.

Is cooking pot cooking broken or some shit? I've been standing around while ~4 logs have burned up and the meat in the pot still is raw, and I've now cooked some pieces using a stick.

Has the cooking pot been filled with water?

Are you using the cooking pot with a stone oven/cooking tripod setup?

the cooking pot had water in it from when I first picked it up (probably about 70-80% full when I started cooking, was about 20% when I cooked all my meat on a stick and said fuck it), and yes it was in the stone oven fireplace.
I just threw the bitch in the fire since carrying around an ice axe for stone was eating into my inventory anyways.
Kebabs is where it's at yo

>mfw no snowy areas

You can't cook with he cooking pot afaik without a fireplace in a house right now.

me when i can't find water

>can't cook with pot on fire
>can only cook with pot on indoor fireplace
