Props for this man. Great advice. One of my main tips for my friends when they start is to sometimes just stop, look, and listen. Take a few minutes even just to make sure. I think a lot of new players could use to read this.

Sometimes this game is weird. I was walking through the woods with at friend who has at full health. Then... he dropped dead. No gunshots, no one around. It was weird.

If I had a nickle for every time I've found someones tent/vehicle/whatever miles from anything in the middle of the woods... It wouldn't but much, but it happens every now and then. Or a server restart ate it. Sometimes you get unlucky.

I love how so many people talk about statistics and murders in a hypothetical zombie apocalypse. While it can be compared to many natural disasters, the fact is its pretty beyond anything we have data for. I think we really have no idea what percent of people would be murderers and bandits. That being said, I like that side chat is gone. Not many games try something like this. Give it time. There will be something for global chat at some point, and odds are it will be a lot more interesting that just having a global chat channel.

hey bud lemme know if you get this situation fixed' date=' cuz its happening to me, and id like to know how to fix it. if possible [/quote'] It cant be fixed if it isn't broke.

This... is actually a pretty good idea. Don't know if I'm brave enough to try it, but I'll at least keep my ears open.

Way to rock OP. The mod and forums need more people like this. When he was gunned down, in circumstances that I have seen plenty of people on the forum complain about, he did not. He tried something new. We need less complaining and cries for fixing things and more people experimenting and seeing what they can do with what we have.

I was one of those random people who stumbled in the side instead of the gate. Sorry about that. Combination of sleep deprivation and not being familiar with the area. Great first run. Felt very safe and professional. Ill keep an eye out for a boat. Never seen one before though.

Sounds like you guys are about wrapped up. Good job. I got there pretty early and managed to trade a jerry can for a dmr mag. I was only there for about an hour, maybe less, but it was safe and seemed to work. Hope you guys do this again. I got some video and pictures I'll try to put up later.

What this guy said. This is more than a month old. I don't think they are adding Dayz in the next update, just adding features and things for it, if that makes sense.

I agree with several people in this thread. Limiting chat is a really interesting gameplay mechanic. Give it some time. And this game should be brutal. Life isn't fair and balanced. Most game worlds always make sure your never completely screwed or trapped. This game doesn't care, and I love it. It's just a world and no rules. For once we get to adapt to it instead of have the game accommodate to us. Its exciting. Let Rocket do his thing.

I actually like the idea of checking weapons in tents. I'm fairly paranoid. The only issue I see is theft. It would be hard to stop someone from grabbing everything in the tent and just logging. Just a thought. It would be great if you guys could figure something out. Maybe after Rocket figures out a good way for a players body to linger if they disconnect or something similar.

Its exciting to see that this is finally happening! And it turns out you guys are doing it on the server I usually play on. My buddy and I might head down from the north and check it out tomorrow. Will you post a more precise location, or should you be pretty easy to find near the airfield? Also, you said to approach with gun down. That works, but how quickly should we approach you? Im not sure if you can see that a gun is down when your running. Is there any signal you can give us that we are ok to move in? I'm a little more worried about snipers and bandits a little outside the perimeter picking people off as they come and go. I'd like to get to your safety quickly, but sure would hate to get picked off by one of the guards by mistake because I was moving too fast. Looking forward to it! Hope this works!

OP, if you want to convince people about bandit skins, the video does nothing. I would have shot you too. You were running around and unpredictable. You probably startled the dude too. You know what can be dangerous in this game? People acting stupid and unpredictably. All I see is a video of a guy removing a potential threat.

I like the current zombie behavior a lot minus the glitches. Like walking through walls and stuff. Maybe a wee bit less bone breaking. Great work. Keep it up rocket!

I was on the server earlier. Everything was working great for me. Thanks for keeping the server running well and up to date guys!

Bad idea. This is not a team game. It is not. At all. Its about a bunch of people surviving. Its an open world, with people doing whatever they want. Not two teams fighting it out with zombies nearby.

I like the no side chat. As for new players needing help and meeting people... If only there were some other way. Like a place online people could ask for help and meet each other. I dunno... It wouldn't have to be in game... Like, a website or something. But seriously, doesn't the forum do everything you just complained about OP? Plus, with side chat gone, the game is much more immersive to me. How is constantly seeing FRIENDLY? on the side chat fun or helpful for anyone?

Im not able to help out, but I really hope you guys get something set up. I'd love to stop by and trade if this actually happens.

I think this is awesome. I don't really see how this is griefing. Besides, they had AXES. It gives the "victims" a hell of a lot more chance.

Um. OP, I don't think Rocket cares too much about the $$$. Hence him turning down deals from other companies and what not.
