Anyone else play this? I don't have ArmaII but I think I'll get it just for this mod. Love the concept of this, need a decent survival horror game.
Whenever I watch videos of Day Z I get confused by the inventory system. It looks like people and containers have lots of useful stuff (like Morphine and Makarov ammo) but no one ever takes it.
That's one thing that threw me off initially, the inventory system.

Seems like in a 10-15 minute video of the game, they're spending 3-4 of those minutes in an inventory system.

Very limited space. You can only take so much so if you have morphine already, you would not get more. You don't keep ammo for any gun you don't have as you don't have space.

Kero it is pretty much no different to fallout. In fact you'd spend less time in inventory than in fallout because there is less stuff to loot.
If you come around Items like painkillers (and whatever else) Usually you only pick it up if you need it or if you've just used one or if you have heaps of space left. Ammo (if you have the gun) I personally change it out for road-flares and cemlight or if really needed painkiller cause i know i can find that stuff all over the place, and if its not there then, then i can come back in 20mins (don't know the time exactly) and new loot will be there.

You can walk again!
Tory healed me Jesus style! Man it felt weird to be able to walk lol
Wow, apparently with the newest update (1.7.1) you only start with a backpack, one bandage, a box of painkillers and a flashlight. No weapon, food, water or even flares.

Can't see that lasting long.
Don't really need flares if you have a torch. Its going to make the coast worse though, now you'll have to raid a close town or you'll starve!
Yeah, it's going to be brutal but I'm excited about the new update.

We'll have a stream and a blog going up today about our adventures!

I came across $50 on the Pokies this morning, so I shall buy this today.

Then my tyrannical reign begins.

E~ By today, I mean it's installing.

I look forward to killing all of you for your supplies.
@Kerosanak will turn Cherno into The Thunderdome [MOG]
I'm just going to have it in my head that I'm playing Fallout and everything is a ghoul and/or Raider [MOG]

Edit: I should make a female toon called Ashley to protect myself from your wrath [Shifty]

I watched a video last night of the new update, and while the guy complained about it being a bit too realistic, he said it'd probably limit the amount of PK'ing as you can't just spawn and go hunting. There was also a constant stream of death messages in the chat log. :P
I think the new update sounds awesome, definitely keen to see how that pans out, although I don't want my character to die, I've been alive for too long now!
Only thing that worries me is that if a group of people decides to spawn grief at each point, the lowbies are defenseless until said person gets banned etc.

It's better this way though cause it's so easy to kill a zombie with a makarov anyway.

Unless they're doing it purely to troll, the griefers won't even get beans out of it.

Aye, that's what griefers do, they just troll you for their own amusement. :P

I think I rather that cause then at least you know who they are not like new faces on a new character that backstab you the moment you look around [Rage]

Soon.
I found people's tents as I was lost in the woods, I took some of their things, then got lost for 2 hours then found civilization and eventually died. :P

I was scared running around alone dehydrating and starving :'@

Are you on 1.7.1? I haven't found tents in 1.7 yet.
So I'll be starting without weapons hmm?

Guess I better be extra sneaky until I can find something =)
