Ok so now I KNOW it's part of the game but... geez. I just spent the last hour or so following the road to get to the barracks of the NW airport. I was pretty excited to loot some good stuff... only, when I arrived there, I was bone breaked and put inconscious by a Zed through the window and died... THAT'S frustrating . I HATE DAY Z. GHYSDGHSFASDASDGADFSGDAFG !!!... Okay let's respawn :)

Alright so I have been travelling all of chernarus (Twice) lately in Canadian servers and except for some towns and surroundings in the middle of the map, I came to the conclusion that I can't find any Heli Crash Site. Now, I know that some peope were talking of making a map of known locations and was wondering if they were still on it? Also, if you have come accros a site recently and would like to tell its location and its loot (for the bragging !), feel free too ! Thx

I gotta say, I rarely try to go straight north since I usually only find poor stuff in the deer stands, but I'm gonna try it at my next respawn now that I read that ;)

Gun on spawn was removed more than a week ago... And you can just ignore that error message, it changes nothing. Just try going for the nearest town ( or if you like danger but better odds, go to the Balota air strip ) and walking slowly or going prone to loot open houses and outdoors barns.

It happened to me once... I died at Elektro i think and i respawned on the city I had just visited before... just like if the game hadnt recorded that I had died and thought I had left the server there... Yes mostly a lucky bug :D

That sounds like your friend might have shot you by mistake ! I've never been hit for more than 2k blood personally and it was quite brutal !

I just reached the NE airstrip about 10 minutes ago and I just found some good weapons and equipment. It made me wonder however, since the airstrip is about the same as the one in Balota, do the items spawned there are in general of better quality than in Balota? It would make sense, considering the time you must invest just to get there. The same goes for the NW airfield, except for the barracks, are items there supposed to be of the same quality as the other airfields, even though it's all the way to the north and takes forever to get to?

Does that include all the supermarkets and firestation? and all the other buildings?

the same amount of zags could zagzig zag if a zagzig could zag zigs ! It's kind of obvious...

Oh so wait... I think you didn't understand the point of this game... You must NOT survive. You are trapped in a freakin hostile world where every inhabitant have been infected with a disease that boosts their strength, aggressiveness and speed. You SHOULDN'T be able to shoot at 3 men running at twice your own speed while running backwards. This is not L4D, there is no point A to B to win, no justice. And yes, I also almost bleed every moderate to major encounters I have with Zeds. That's why I keep it to the minimum amount. This isn't a shoot'em all, it's a survival. And btw, you wonder how they can knock you out so easily ? Just try fighting with any man that weights 100 more pounds than you, who doesn't pain, doesn't hesitate to punch you as hard as he can and can actually hit about twice as hard as he should. THAT is Day Z ! YOU shall NOT survive :D not even sorry for the long and horrifying post !

Now please give some thoughts to this thread before going on gtfo mode. I agree with most people that says that DayZ is supposed to go for the most realistic type of survival possible, and that global chat is dumb in this context. I must always point out the fact that some factors need to be considered. Removing the chat options created 2 kinds of players. Players with a mic and players that don't. I keep stumbling on people who never respond to my warnings ( hello only audio direct chat ). If they were bandits, I'd just agree this is normal. However when I get closer to someone being swarm and I can't even tell him that i'm here to help and shooting zeds, not him, there is a problem. Unless half the survivors are mute, we should at least be able to type something to nearby survivors. Also, the thing I consider one of the most expected item is the *radio system*. Now, if they were already introduced in the game, I prolly wouldn't even be writing this thread, but meanwhile, the lack of communication tools is turning survivors almost like zeds by attacking on sight anything that moves. I personally think that on a realistic level, it is more common for a group to stick together and try to survive then stay alone and kill every human that moves. Any thought about this? (If you want to tell me that it was already discussed, please don't bother. All I'm asking for is a temporary communication replacement, not a complete comeback of the global and side chat)

You're not alone friend... I just wish Rocket would let the global chats on while we wait for the radio/phone system of 1.8 . I know he's pretty busy already, but I can't say I really enjoy playing anymore... Guess I'll come back when the next patch is up !

I have to agree with Ironil. Just tested it out with a friend too in a beta server, direct channel doesnt work via text or mic. switched to steam too.

yeah that would be a great radio system and I'm really looking forward to it's introduction to the game ! I'm convinced it would had a new twist to the old solo survival or prematched groups.

but thats the point ! It could potentially be your killer. On the situation right now, its more of a KOS then anything else, thus the lack of realism on that part too. He could betray you later on and take your stuff, not shoot every human he comes across...

Unless I've been horribly unlucky, I've tried several times to use text on direct chat to communicate with strangers or friends, with no result. I also never saw a single message posted on the direct chat neither.

yayay

It was my understanding that the temperature on the debug monitor was the exterior temperature. In that case, it makes sense that your guy sweats a lot and gets thirsty pretty quickly, but isn't affected whatsoever by this heat.

I can't wait to chop zeds

Its called going under 5000 blood ^_^

Or maybe if they could introduce a certain melee weapon system and give us a shovel or something. I'm for the realistic idea of the game, but even if most people don't have a gun with them, they should be able to defend themselves against 1 or 2 zeds rather easily...

I have heard a few great stories about how spawning with no weapon can make an epic journey to go and loot Cherno and Elektro to save your ass and get some neat weapons. However, I seem to notice that it also has deserted all the other cities on the coast (Berez and the coastal airstrip are the exception I guess) as the % of having a gun spawn in Kamenka or komarovo is very low. I wonder if the issue is noted and if they will find a way to attract the players back there or it's maybe intended that way...? Any thoughts?

Spawn with a single clip of the makarov/basic weapon. Enough to not get killed by 1 random zed, not enough to save your life from zeds early on.

they are. Just found one on my way to stary from elektro. It's pretty sweet, although it breaks easily.

NO but with fewer mags. YES with a significantly higher spawn of sidearms on the coast !
