Ghosts?

I hug a Zed every day as part of my ongoing mission to garner relations between our species. Sometimes it works, other times they become violent. But I'm doing my bit. ARE YOU?

Hey bro! Right, a few things to try: 1. Open the inventory and identify what's wrong. Are you sick? Hungry? Thirsty? Low on blood? All of the above? 2. If you're sick, you need antibiotics or charcoal tablets, depending on the illness. You need to take these regularly with water, a single dose wont cure you (unless you've got "man flu"). Thirst and hunger are obvious, but remember that you need to eat/drink up to 15 times to fill your stomach, and that you spawn dying of thirst. For low blood, you'll need either blood of your own type or saline, and an IV starter kit. 3. If you really want to commit hari-kiri, there's a few ways to do so: - Find a zombie to befriend - Take some blood that isn't yours - Drink something that's not edible (disinfectent is a good choice) - Use a syringe to drain your own blood - Fall from a great height - Eat rotten food (eat lots of it!) - Swim out to sea and get hypothermia (actually not sure if cold is in yet) :) MB

Hey folks, What are your top tips for dealing with the Zeds? A few that I've picked up: Zeds use sight and hearing to detect you. Stay out of their line of sight and, when in close proximity, make as little noise as possible.When there are Zeds around, NEVER enter a building with only one entrance/exit.Zombies can now run indoors and are more than happy to climb a ladder. BE AFRAID. One or two zombies can be handled via the medium of an Axe, but you're better off running from a group.Zombies will lose track of you if you run around 100M away from themZombies sometimes struggle going up and down hills. If you're getting chased, elevate!Ignore the crosshair for melee weapons and look at where the weapon actually swings in order to line up your melee attack. Zeds can occasionally walk through walls, in particular supermarket walls. Be on your guard when looting and remember, your life comes before those beans on the ground!If you see a Zed running, and he's not running towards you, watch out; there's a player about. Any more?

A ceasefire means nothing to a man with too much to lose!

Another tip, learned the hard way. Do not take what you do not need. It will only result in you piddling around with your inventory in a dangerous place later.

Beans for the story! And welcome to DayZ, all you need to do now is find some Mountain Dew and you've passed your probation.

I'm going to make an excursion there tonight. Got a gasmask and an axe. Will post later with results. MB

I'm in a shed. I've closed the door. Zeds surround me. I don't want to be eaten! My leg is broken, the pain is unbearable. My vision is blurred, I'm out of water - and I don't have anything to open these beans with. It's only a matter of time before the zeds get in, and I do not want to die from tearing teeth and gnarling fingers. All I have is a brick, and this disinfectant. What would you choose? MB

Just to say, my character was fine after the update - if a little thirsty. As others said, bugs like this are part and parcel of an alpha stage game. MB

*sobs*

Hey folks, I have Duct Tape. I'm a lucky guy. I can think of many uses for duct tape. Strapping magazines together, shutting prisoners up, attaching a knife to a baseball bat... you get the picture. What can I currently do in-game with my Duct Tape, and how would I go about doing it? MB

The "Fire" assignment seems bugged at the moment, you can't assign it to anything else. I've tried putting it on a controller to no avail.
