The Shadow

Ahaha! Im sure he was expecting some easy kills and loot not a group of rambos sprinting after him! Great story!

At the moment, Humans pose a large threat as the Zombies still need work. They are of a minor annoyance at the moment and are easily avoided. The zombies are being worked on for the Standalone so they too pose a large threat. People will be scared to enter civilization not due to being sniped but due to being mauled by the number of zombies roaming the streets and buildings. All this plus the additions of detailed bone fractures/breaks, diseases being caught from drinking water,and there is also talk of diseases being carried on clothing which will also add a whole new perspective to the survival of your character.

Also the Standalone will be optimized better than the mod, so you should see an overall performance increase when playing the game too!

All i can say is: WOW. I am so excited for this release!

In the middle of the night, light a fire in the middle of Cherno and run around the fire, singing Justin Beiber songs on voice chat! Sneak up behind a sniper and start singing 'Hello' by Lionel Richie over the chat. Prone from one side of Cherno to the other.

Instead of coming onto here and complaining about hackers in public servers etc, why not just play in private hive servers or white-listed servers? Theres a much lower chance of hackers being in these servers.

Its a Zombie Survival Shooter that really allows you to immerse yourself into the game.

Maybe he just wanted to give you some items but didnt want to hang around cos of zombies?

Just gotta take into consideration that whether you have a cheap PC or a 2grand PC there is still a chance you'll struggle with the dayz mod due to it not being optimized properly yet, but the standalone should be out "soonish" and dean and the team are working on making sure it is optimized properly.

sitting a mile away killing a group of people who had no idea of your existence and was posing no threat to you, seems a little pointless in my eyes? Whats the fun in ruining someone elses gaming experience for your own enjoyment? if they posed a threat then by all means, defend yourselves but just killing them for the sakes of it, its just pointless.

Go round healing people, giving blood transfusions and administering morphine. Befriend other survivors and help them on their path. Yes. Yes you do.

Just think like another person with your tent, Chances are if you had a tent stashed and someone found it, they would take your stuff, so if you find a tent, you should take their things. Their fault for not hiding the tent as well as they could :D

If you can afford it just buy Arma CO and get dayz mod, then buy the SA when it comes out, then buy Arma 3 when it comes out, its what id do :D

To me, i think everyone has their own take on "Killing on sight". In my eyes, you should not shoot first at anyone who doesnt seem a threat.

I came across this on youtube, thought you guys might find it interesting! :D Theres quite a few episodes to get through :D

If you have nothing productive to say, why comment?

The video isnt pointing out glitches and such, just things you might not know about, ive just watched all 7 episodes and it shed light on things like - - The fact you can cook meat on burning oil drums as well as normal fires - Hero skin makes you run slightly faster than bandit skin - You can unflip an ATV by accelerating and reverse and turning wheels left to right - Radios would give out numbers which are coordinates to deer stands. These arent glitches just additions to the game people spread through word of mouth but arent sure if they are true or not.

So we have the Bandits in the game and the Heroes, but is there anyone that doesnt kill everyone but yet doesnt help anyone? I like to see myself as that shadow in the back, the guy that nobody notices but he notices everyone around him, just watching from the side line, stealthily roaming the lands unknown to everyone else. I was just wondering if anyone else likes to play this role too?

Noone else seems to have problems?

Only thing i can think of is the item is hacked in and so when you try to use it the server is detecting that it was hacked. The only camo in the game which is legit is the Ghillie suit, so anything else i suspect will be hacked.

So i know these have already been brought up in the whole light posts in the street topic etc that rocket added then took out, but here is my point of view on generators. I think a really good idea would be to add generators to some random houses on the map cos realistically if a zombie apocalypse happened and the power went out some people are going to have generators. The generators would be a rare spawn. Now these could be broken when found, to repair them you use scrap metal and use fuel to keep them going. Now they maybe dont pose as much advantage to the person who fixes one apart from maybe you can transport them back to your base and use it to light up your base etc. To nerf the idea a little and to make it more fair, to transport the generator you maybe have to do it in parts as you are not going to be able to carry a generator inside your backpack. If you wanted to add more detail you could add small flood lights which have a rare chance of spawning which you can find, repair and take your base and hook up to your base and have these lit up. Generator - http://www.harborfre...image_11474.jpg Flood light - http://starequipment...Flood Light.jpg Now how cool would it be if you was walking across the fields in the night and you spot light in the distance and walk towards it uncovering the abandoned factory in Chenarus, flood lights on he walls light up the ground around it, you can see the silhouttes of the zombies in the light all wondering around the walls in the light. It would add so much atmospshere into the game like it would if you was watching this situation as a scene from Walking Dead or another zombie film! More uses for the generator: What do you guys think?

So does anyone know of any easter eggs in the DayZ maps? If you do please share as id love to see what you have discovered thought id start the topic off with this easter egg as its christmas -

It opens up a whole new range of survival techniques!

Yeah floodlights was just a suggestion, obviously this topic is open for discussion for others uses etc :D

Although climbing is realistic, i think it would be bad idea due to people spending all their time looking for glitches which are possible to get to from climbing and jumping to ledges etc. I think things like this ruin the game. Climbing should only be implemented inf they can guarantee that their are no possible glitches etc which come with the climb ability
