BRILLIANT!

Some great times to be had playing this hope to see some of you online (if I don't see you on the SimHQ TS3).

Yep, that's pretty much the only reason I still look into this thread. It's fun to see what other people have to say and offer some of my own thoughts. People seem pretty mature about it so far too, which is a plus. I don't know of any other place to have a similar discussion.

Firstly, I don't use chat in DayZ and secondly I'm not that gullible

I personally observed something a little bit like this during my infiltration of the town as I wrote above. I was low crawling in dark areas with my 'eye' and 'ear' at zero bars, and Zeds, though not alerted, seemed to shuffle towards me. Just when I was sure they would spot me and go aggressive, they stopped, turned around, and walked away. Whether it's just my own paranoid perception and fear of being caught, or whether there is actually some code at work there that causes them to drift towards the player's location, I'm not sure. But it definitely added to the intensity while sneaking around in an area infested with zombies and bandits!

Lol im not joking. Using any chat in game now draws zombies nearby.

I haven't had any noticeable cases of zombies actively changing direction to walk toward me, though it does seem like it at times. I've yet to try out this latest patch at night (only during the day so far), but I'm curious as to whether or not throwing a flare off in the distance will work to distract the zombies in the area?

Nice one fatty! you got them before they got you...

I had one very satisfying situation where I was shadowing a fresh spawned survivor waiting to observe by his behavior if he was good or bad, and watched him get killed by a bandit who had an ambush area going in a small town near the coast, I waited and killed the bandit as he was looting the body and by the amount of dead player bodies in the area he had gotten a few before we came along, nothing as satisfying as taking out predators IMHO, besides the fact that they are usually well supplied

I haven't had a chance to play the last couple of nights post patch, but hope to get a session in soon.

So,

Logged in for a bit at lunch, hadn't played for a while, mostly wanted to get it working with trackir (which I did, which is awesome for this mod, super paranoid looking everywhere now).

Anyway, first time I have played with the temperature, and it was raining.

My temp dropped down and after about 20 minutes I was coughing.

Other than the obvious (fire), is there a way to keep warm, or get your temp back up?

Cheers!

I think going inside a building will warm you up. I've heard sprinting slowly raises the temp too but not sure.

FYI ALL - I read a little while ago that they'll be rolling out another hotfix update today, so keep an eye out. Its supposed to address the bad lag issues after the last patch
