So I stopped playing dayZ in like late July. I'm thinking of coming back. From what iv'e read, there is a lot of new stuff. Private hives? Bandit/Hero skins? Dogs?? Can somebody explain or provide a link explaining these and other important things I should know about? Thanks.

Yes I got dayZ commander and updated DayZ. I'm talking about the beta patch. All the servers are running different versions of it and i'd have to switch ever time I want to try out a server.

Thanks for the info! I went to play DayZ last night and almost all servers were a different version than mine! Is there some sort of "one size fits all" version?

Looks pretty cool, regardless if duping was used. at least they didnt dupe to block the doors of every building.

Well you could: Run into a building and run out the other side Run and Run building a massive train of zombies and then shoot your buddy in the leg The less honourable, frowned upon, (but most effective) disconnecting despawns all zombies chasing you.

I think you lose Items while swimming because it would be hella hard to swim with all that heavy ass gear. Have you tried swimming with a fully-loaded backpack and a rifle? I'd imagine you'd just say "fuck it I don't want to drown" and drop your gear to preserve your life.

I think in general stores they spawn most, or churches, but I've seen them spawn in random sheds in the middle of nowhere before. But the best location to find an ALICE pack is on the back of the guy you just shot for his ALICE pack.

The crossbow looks to be garbage. I've seen too many videos of its fails to use it, such as this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFGM81i5eYA

Anyone else hear CQC and immediately think of Metal Gear style CQC?

My logic for killing others: All weapons are a threat. All threats must be eliminated If a stranger has a weapon, then he is killed If a stranger does not have a weapon, then he is not killed all this logic goes out the window when I newly spawn, as I have nothing to lose.

I'm only friendly If the person in question is not a threat. Also if he or she has signifigantly more firepower than me, which only happens if I just respawned. Hell, I have nothing to lose, so I might as well take a chance.

Back to the front page with ye!

Story time. A couple stories actually. So yesterday I was sitting at my base near the shipwreck at the NE corner of the map. All of my other friends were out on missions gathering food, vehicle supplies, etc, except one other friend. The loot we had managed to get was: Some kind of Zodiac speed boat Two leisure boats Two ATVs A Jeep that seats 5 (whos name I cannot recall) At least 3 tents full of food, guns&ammo, Medical supplies, etc) So I'm semi-AFKing in a tree checking the map on my steam overlay, when I see someone run across the base. I assume it's my other friend. The person gets into one of the Leisure boats. I mouse over the person; It is not one of us. She starts the boat up, and begins to (slowly) sail away. I put a few rounds into her with my M14; she's dead, but the boat is still moving. It slowly sails away, the corpse still slumped over to the side. I tell my friend what happened, and we check the base. This girl had ran past the Jeep, the two ATVs, the tents, and chose to steal the slow-ass leisure boat instead of the fast Zodiac boat. ...Dafuq? Later that day, during the evening, one of my friends on teamspeak brings his friend over to our new base (we changed locations after someone else found it) this friend rides over on an ATV. He says we can keep it. Later he goes out and rides a motorcycle into camp. Then two cars I dont think are even in the game. All have full health, and this is in the span of thirty minutes. The next day, a Fully-operational helicopter spawns in the middle of our camp, while this guy is on. (obvious hacks is obvious) However, as the server admin was also in our group, he reset the server, which despawned all the hacked in vehicles. ....Dafuq?

LOL. So now when that bandit shoots you and you go unconcious, he can also "have his way" with you too. funny stuff.

I'm rating 5 stars cause I laughed so hard. Oh, and we can already kill/eat pigs in DayZ, so I guess that makes us all racist. :D

I bought Arma II for DayZ as well, but only after extensively researching it via youtube videos. I did try single player at one point; it was either hella hard or my squad mates couldn't keep up and had terrible AI. I think there should be...not "quests", but some kind of random special objectives; helicopter crashes are a step in the right direction.

Some servers have it so when you disconnect and reconnect quickly, you'll spawn KOed for about 5 minutes. Maybe that's what's happening?

I like how you think the internet is your personal army.

Oh, we actually use them, we don't hoard :)

Well her name was "Claire Redfield" and she had the female model, so I'm going to assume it's a she.

There is no more bandit skin. Your skin will not automatically change after x number of murders or negative humanity. you can find skins laying around and put them on - the changes are purely cosmetic, but be careful, as they can be glitchy and screw you over when putting them on.

Hah. I forgot to mention that a few attempts were made to get the boat back by sailing one person over to the runaway ship and getting out in the water then attempting to enter it xD But seriously, after I had found out she hadnt taken anything, I was like: [attachment=885]

Issue has been resolved, we did speak in TS3, everyone was cool and understanding, but It still won't bring back my 12 day old character :( Time to start again!

So this was my second time playing DayZ, after dying like a noob and reading up and learning the controls. I spawn on the coast, basic pack. I look around me. Road to my right. Road to my left. Hill in front. I decide to head right, along the treeline at the bottom of a hill. I see a small town. Many Zeds are shuffling around. "It's far too risky", I think to myself. I see another, dirt road leading from the town. Hugging the treeline, I follow it for thirty seconds, and see a warehouse of some sorts. Seeing only one....two....three Zeds, I Solid Snake my way past them, and into the warehouse, only to find a tire, and some empty alchohol bottles and tin cans. Whoever was here previously must have been a drunk slob. CRACK CRACK CRACK. I hear shooting behind me off in the distance. "OH THANK GOD SURVIVORS!!!1!one!" Checking to make sure the Zeds had shuffled away, I sprint towards the souce of gunfire. CRACK CRACK! Too many shots are being fired for a pvp confrontation, whoever this guy is must be going zombie hunting. I return to the coastal town I had passed up, sprint (like a noob) right up to a bandit, a survivor, and ten dead Zeds right on the coast. I cry "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY DON'T BLOW MY HEAD OFF PLEASE" over my mic. They don't respond, but they're not shooting at me, so that's a good sign, right? More Zeds scream and sprint towards us, and I decide to help out by shooting the two on our left. After quickly emptying my makarov into them both, I turn back to them, and...to my horror, the zombies were feasting on the now unconsious (probably dead) survivor, and the bandit had just been knocked down. I panickedly shout at them over my mic, "OH SHIT Y'ALL JUST GOT ATE!!" (like they didnt know already). The Zeds may have been busy now, but there were still more closing in. I frantically looked around for a place to go, somewhere to hide. I spot a dock. I had read that the undead are afraid of docks, and quickly sprint down the dock a few feet away, go prone, and watch, powerless, as the zombies feast on thier flesh. Ten seconds go by, and to my suprise, the zombie who was stuffing his face with bandit-steak suddenly lost interest, and the bandit began to crawl towards me. I tell him if he can make it over here I would bandage him up, but he dies a few seconds later. After dispatching the remaining undead, I go to loot thier bodies, but they either were invisible, or had despawned. CRACK CRACK CRACK! Makarov bullets whizzed by me, as I spot a (coastal beanwar elitist bastard) bandit prone on the beach, shooting at me. Typing to him that i am friendly, I quickly dive for cover, as he sprints to my location. You know what I did next? I ran the fuck away. I ran for a good thirty seconds, until I realised....this guy is using a makarov..the chances that he klls me are just as good as the chances I kill him. I run back to town. I go prone for a minute or two, and I hear a "yoo-hoo" over direct communication. A few minutes pass by, and He must have gave up the hunt. Later that day, I was having trouble updating to 1.6.1 and was being trolled by the flashing black screen that my dayz_code was out of date. I never stood a chance against the survivor who found me.
