Just started playing. Met with friendliness on side-chat. Come join, it's a good server. =)

Looking for a populated vanilla server! And I don't want one with 500 cars & 600 helicopters. Choosing spawn, starter gear. All that stuff. Just a completely normal server. Just 15 or 20 people minimum would be nice. Anyone know of one or are playing on one? Please let me know! :)

I am thinking you probaby have something else bound to the key 'Alt'. Some movement key. :)

I use voice-chat when I sneak up on someone who has a weapon & I've only got a hatchet. Then when I get close I start yelling & screaming like a maniac in the microphone so he panics. Which usually ends well for me! :P

Good idea!

Why do you need to turn around fast, in this game? I don't quite get it. If you get shot from the side or behind you in close-quarters you're dead. Spinning around is not going to save you in this game. It's not Counter Strike or Battlefield :P At long range it makes no difference. And if you sprint into a town like capturing a flag in battlefield & get shot from behind or the side you deserve to die. >:(

It's a survival game. If you want to be instantly kitted out from the beginning. I suggest you play Battlefield or CoD where you spawn in fully loaded with a primary, secondary & grenades! Because DayZ does not sound like the game for you if you don't like scavenging for your gear. :huh:

Well, I was thrilled. Well done. :P

The people who have everything & nothing to lose are the most dangerous players you can run into. In best case, avoid these people. Be friendly to people you meet further in-land. As they won't just charge at you with fists or a melee weapon because they ran a long way & actually have some gear to lose. :)

I play DayZ, because it's the only game that gives me an adrenaline rush, heart-racing & breath-taking battles with other players, that will make my hands shake in excitement. The feeling that any moment may be my last & I will lose everything I worked for. And the ecstasy of victory when I kill my enemy & I loot my spoils of war. Nothing quite like it.

The day I discovered private hives on the mod I ONLY played on private hives. ¤ No server hopping, which means players will actually roam the map. :) ¤ No ghosting! (Logging off in combat, join another server, go behind the enemy, log back to the original server & kill your opponet) ¤ There will be no combat-logging & joining another server. You have to join the same server, which means you can camp his combat-log spot. >:( ¤ You get to learn the location of tents & cars. ¤ You get to know the players you play with & some private hives even have forums. ^_^ ¤ There will be admins only focusing on their server. Private hives would solve a few issues. :)

Turn Mouse smoothing all the way down :)

How high ping are we talking? And where are you located? Maybe you joined servers in another region? Go into filters and make sure you have the right region selected. And also is it only in DayZ you experience high ping?

Join populated servers & you won't have this problem. ;)

Loot doesn't respawn before server restart. So try and find a fresh server, that has restarted recently. Then you'll find much more than rotten fruit ;) And you can open canned goods with almost any Sharp object. Even a hatchet!
