Howzer posted this in memes section. and it's exactly what happens .

well ill give my two cents. i honestly like what's been implemented in this patch, sure, there are a few things that irk me here or there, but it's not a game breaker. You have to boil water before you drink it. Great! its not a challenge, just get an empty tin and start a fire, irl zambie scenarios, water would most likely be contaminated. so it makes sense to have to purify water before you can drink it (without chance of infection that is) Different types of meats is pretty awesome i think. besides, it's not like the blood values change TOO MUCH. beef is 600 i believe, meat before was 800. so you lost 200 blood points, big deal. hell, Rabbit, gives you 1600. The one thing that used to be ignored, is now the thing people will hunt the most, aside from that hunting hasnt really changed. Infection is kinda cool too, you now have the chance to get infected should you make mistakes or if you don't take care of yourself, it makes sense, as someone should take care of themselves. I really like that backpack changes, i think this is something they should have done along time ago. the Chezch BackPack looks BIGGER and has the bonus of a camo design, it didnt make sense to me that the ALICE which looked significantly smaller actually had more spaces, and didn't have any sort of camouflage. they new packs that were added look pretty cool. I kinda don't like that fact that the "bigger" packs will only spawn in military type loots, as this is sure to make Military zones such as the NWAF and NEAF more of a hotspot than what they already are, stary will probably be more populated aswell since that spawns Mloot aswell. Again, a bit pestive, but not impossible, or a deal breaker. Now, zombies is something im 50-50 about, i love the fact that they are more aggresive and actually HORDE around you now, rather then just stand around for show. But, i don't like the fact that just about everything causes them to aggro. i ate a can of beans inside the market in stary, and all hell broke loose, i barely made it out of there, if it werent for the back doors, i probably wouldnt have. i appreciate the fact that the game is trying to be more "immersive" but going to war against Chernos' zombie population over eating a can of beans seems a bit silly. i feel that you should only attract that much zombie attention IF you actually fuck up. Let's say im trying to be sneaky and sneak into the ATC tower at NWAF, and i accidently make to much noise, right there, id expect myself to be in a world of shit (since loads of zombies should spawn there) the point of a game such as this is to take risks in hopes of seeking rewards, right? well, if your burning out more resources and time taking risks, for little to no rewards, then what's the point? as they say "sometimes the pain isn't worth the pleasure" The last thing i strongly dislike, is the timer system. I love the fact that it's there, i just wish it would work when it's supposed to. im tired of wanting to log out because i dont feel like playing anymore, but it wont let me, even though im not being attacked, im not hurt, im not aggroed, im not near any players, im not near any zombies and so on. if safety is absolutely sure, then i should be able to log out, not wait there 30 "Mississippi" seconds. another example, i was running around trying to find a chezch pack (since they are better now) i ended up in stary and no back pack, so naturally, because of this, i just wanted to get out so instead of sneaking out and just bolted, causing aggro and the timer to go off. Now, when i finally go out and lost all the zombies, the timer stayed red for a little, and then turned green, i made my way to a tree and attempted to log off. NOPE. kept telling me i had to wait 30 seconds, even though i wasn't in danger, i moved even further away from where i was to see if that would fix it, still nothing, and this lasted the whole way through, no matter where i went, i could not log off. in the eyes of the timer "i was still in danger" even when i was alone on the server, same thing kept happening. i had to resort to using my pc's Task Manager to close the game because i could not log out. the last thing i want to point out is heli crashes, this is something i'm clueless about. it's been like 3 days, and i have yet to find one. i know other players have had the same luck, all my friends can confirm that they too have had no luck with heli crashes. I asked our server admin and he said that they don't exist anymore, that either the server is bugged, or the patch itself is messed up. if anyone wants to correct me, feel free to do so. To summarize, the patch is really well put together, the ideas are great, but as it shows, there are a few things that i feel could be worked on. Nothing major. just a tweak here and there.

Here's the point im trying to make: Let's say i've been playing the game for a good bit now. looted several areas raided camps and so forth. Now, im tired and have had enough and am going to call it a night and go do something else. Now, let's say a bandit happens to spot me as i am about to log out and decides hes going to try and snipe me from 500meters out, but, he hasn't fired any shots yet I don't think it's fair that just because he happened to see me, even though he hasn't engaged me yet. i have to sit there and wait JUST to give him that chance to try and kill me. Now lets say he sees me and immediately starts shooting at me, then, yes i am now being attacked and should not be opted to have the ability to log out. that i like and understand much better. im not trying to start an argument, i just want to get my point across how this timer needs to be adjusted slightly

Exactly, it's fair in the sense that no one can pussy out when getting shot at. but i don't think it works correctly in every situation (as it shouldnt, since it's new) i just hope they tweak it so it makes it more useful rather then burdening

I understand that, but it doesn't make sense. so the game basically is saying "oh you want to log out now that you can? NOPE. im going to make you wait another 30 seconds so that BushWookie can kill you from 800m out. "Wait, what?" "im punishing you for my flawed game mechanic" seems legit. this is just that situation, if you are not in combat, you should be able to log out. if there is a sniper and i get killed by him, then kudos to him for the clean kill, i applaud you. but if that is going to happen, i want it to be because of MY mistakes, where did i go wrong? did i make to much noise? did i alert him? not because i had to "wait the time out, so i can log off"

I think you misunderstood my post, im not saying i dont like the timer idea, in fact, i love it, hopefully it was stop people D/Cing after a firefight, but why on earth would it not let me log out after everything has already settled, No zombies are chasing me, no one is shooting at me, no one is near me, im not imminent danger that would cause the Combat timer to go off, that just seems broken to me, if my combat meter is off (still green) why shouldnt i be able to log off, its a contradiction, the game itself is telling me that im now ALLOWED to log off, but the abort button fades and says "Log out in 30" it makes sense why they added it, but it doesnt work in every situation, like, the game doesnt know when to activate it.

i think it's glitched somehow, me and four other friends were on the server for a good 5-6 hours yesterday after the admin had updated the server. the update counted as a restart so new gear technically should have started spawning, i found one sa58p or whatever, but that's it. after hour on end of searching i found absolutely nothing, same thing for my 4 other friends, nothing. we hit NWAF, NEAF, Balota, Stary Sobor, Novy Sobor, Grozny Pass, the areas around Prud, Novy Lug, Grishino, basically every place that a crash could spawn, and nothing. something seems off.

For me, it doesn't even work. For Example, i logged on only to immediately attract zeds, i didn't move or shoot. i didn't do anything but i attracted like at least 10 zombies, okay, seems legit. Anyways, i run for the forest and eventually lose LOS. so my combat timer goes back to green yet, i still cannot log out. it said "Log out in 30......29.......28" and so on, so i hit escape and try again. and the same thing happens, even though i wasnt in any form of danger.

I've pretty much stopped playing on all other servers because of this one, it's a hell of a lot of fun, server admins are really cool and friendly, it's pretty hacker free for the most part, some do sneak in occasionally, but, the admins take care of it pretty quickly. The custom loot is an added bonus aswell, makes the game a bit more fun to play as there is more arsenal to choose from. all in all, i recommend everyone to try this server out, you won't be disappointed.

I played on a server likw that, at one point, I was the only one on the server at the time, and I guess the admin was messing around with the spawns (trying to add custom gear I assume) when I happen to stumble across a FOB looking area, it looked like it was all lootable (ammo crates and whatnot) but it wasn't. The only thing that spawned there was a AI soldier in camo clothing, he was holding a l85 susat. I killed him and took it, the next day I logged on and the admins questioned where I had gotten this rifle, I told them what happened and said I had screenies to prove it wasn't hacked in. So I added them on skype on showed them. For the time being, they let me keep it. In the days too come, hackers started to pour in the lobbies and I began to give there names to the admins, should they not be on. And when they did get on, the players I listed were checked and banned. One of the admins later told me that I had been a huge help in maintaining the server so he wanted to reward me. He took away my susat and told me I could pick any weapon I wanted to have as a reward (aside from as50s and really good guns as such) I asked if a silenced rifle was okay and he said yes, he ended up giving me a G36SD, to stand out from the common player, however, regular player status was still there, meaning if I died, I would still lose everything, and not respawn with it. Most VIP I've ever been treated

I'm. 50 50 on the map. As people said, military gear is pretty easy to find (at least in my experience). Food is only common in bigger cities I've noticed, even supermarkets don't carry it as much, basic survivor tools are extrmely rare, played for hours on end, never even found a map or matches. More so clothing such as warm clothes. On the flip side, players I've found are extremely hostile, basically, they'll shoot you just because, threat or not. The sound effects are pretty intensive I think, constantly hearing children and the cries for help, the sound of footsteps surrounding you and no one is there....not to mention the blood suckers. They'll give you a start

I've played this for so long I don't really feel much anymore, I still feel the anticipation and adrenaline rush of pretty much risking it all, but when I get the kill I don't feel guily or happy really, I guess the most satisfaction I get now is still being alive

Shiiiiieeeeeetttttttt, they're welcome to my cows too XD

A nice little house where I can hunt my food and collect my water would do me fine. Who says you can't have a little peace in the zombie apocolypse?

Honestly, just play the game. Who cares about the gear, if you got it once you can do it again, that's the beauty of this game having the joy of finding good gear. Go find a heli, save a survivor, hunt some badits, look for heli crashes, hunt for food. Parachute from a chopper. Just play the way you would without all the good gear, eventually, you will die, but you won't miss the gear. You'll enjoy the the fact that you have the oppurtunity to do it again.

The only thing I think this game needs more of is ak variants as someone said. Sounds stereotypical, but being a russia based game, id expect more of that

One time, I was running through the NW airfield looking for loot, when entering the atc tower, I suddenly break my legs. Note, I do not have any morphine. So I soon fall into desperation, and start asking people for morphine, no one responds. After about 10 minutes I start taking sniper fire from bandits, no surprise there. But here's where it gets messed up. One of the bandits places a morphine right in front of the atc tower to screw with me. At this point, I decide that I will not be taken alive. So I stand. And bam, I go right back down. As I respawn, I begin to loot buildings and guess what.....MORPHINE ERRY'WHERE.

Well, apparently more guns are being added in the 1.7.5.5 patch, like the g36 and its variants, I don't know much else

The closest spawn point for anything good is balota, you might get lucky and find something worthwhile

Well it depends really, if you want firepower. Then tossing the ak was a bad move, if you want to be subtle then the bizon might be better, but understand. Bizon mags can only be found at heli crashes, also, if you get into a firfight with the bizon, you'll most likely die

Be wary though, when I first started playing this game I found one of those, I didn't know it was hacked, I just thought I had gotten really lucky, I took a m4 cco sd and a pdwsd and the admin instantly banned me. So yeah, battleye won't ban you, but, an admin most certainly will

I was running through most northern part of the forest when I stummbled across a camp that I pressumed was hacked (had a lot of as50s, ghilles, svd camos, nvgs, satchel charges and whatnot) so I beging to look through the cars and tents, as I'm doing so, I notice a player logs in ( he was crouched near a tent as he flashed and disappeared for a split second). Quickly, I run away to a nearby tree where I could keep eyes on him He spawns in abd starts checking the tents and vehicles, obviously, he's the owner or one of the owners of the camp. I pop out from the tree and kill him, he then proceeds to flame me over side chat and so on. So I decide to try and pull a little stunt. I leave his body there with all his loot on it, and I take a satchel and place them around the cars, so that when he comes to loot the body, the explosion of the cars will destroy the camp along with sending him flying. I wait about 45 mintues and see him come back and he heads straight for the body, the satchels go off but to my surprise the radius wasn't large enough to kill him. But to my satisfaction, a part of the car flys into the air and lands directly on top of him, killing him. I never laughed so hard at anything on this game. He didn't even rage, he just aborted and I never saw him again

I was running back to a makeshift base I had created when I had run across two guys, they were equpped with m4s I stopped and asked if they were friendly, to my avail, they were. So I rolled with them for a bit, later, we came across another 3 guys, again we asked if they wee friendly,and they were so we ventured on. We had cars so we decided to drive around and try to find heli crashes, on our first one. There were already a group of bandits there, and they were much better equipped. They oppened fire on us and killed the 3 guys we had just met up with, the 2 guys I was with panicked and drove off. I told them they had to stop because I was also hit and had to bandage, as I was doing so, more gunshots were heard, they panicked and drove off without me. I was pissed. I snuck behind them and managed to get an m4a3 cco from one of the dead guys, I crawledd through grass and eventually got back the the crashed heli, they were still there looting the chopper and sorting gear. I waited till they got back in the car before opening fire. Managed to kill the driver and the pasanger, the guy in the back seat got out and tried to fire, I put a few bullets in his chest before he was able to do so, the other guys in the group ran off, so I didn't get to kill them. Never saw those guys on the server again

my first death? well basically a hacker killed me. this one actually sucks pretty bad. i was playing some unknown server. it was pitchblack outside so i couldnt see anything, after about 10mins i found a enfield, being a new player i was stoked, literally 30 seconds later, i got shot and started bleeding out, so i quickly replied "friendly" the guy revived me, set a box down and left. inside was a hell load of guns, gold ak's and pistols and what not (Obviously hacked, but i was new at the time and didnt know, i just thought this guy was super cool). so i got a g36sd camo soldier clothes and some other stuff that i can't remember, after i was done. the hacker killed the entire server. upon death, the only thing that was said by the admin was "hey, how did you get that g36sd?" without hesitation, i was banned from that server...and i wasn't even the hacker. moral of the story. i was basically this hackers' fleshlight because i got screwed hard.

i installed Arma2 about a week ago and i can play that just fine on normal settings 55-60fps (my computer isn't that great) anything higher and it drops to about 25-30fps and so on, then i discovered dayZ and my fps changed drastically, with the same settings i use to play Arma2 i run this mod at about 10-20 fps IF LUCKY. i have made a few friends on there and they were telling me to get the best optimization, i could edit the .cfg file to certain values, reduce visible distance and install a mod called GDTMod-Grass. so i did, i tried it on regular arma2 and it ran great (around 75fps). again, i tried it on dayz and it wouldn't run, it said something like "gdtmod not supported. invalid server keys" so i deleted it, and when i did i noticed no difference. is there anything i can use to make this mod run better?
