Statik (DayZ)

I don't understand.

My Tips: Use whatever you want for storage (i.e. Tent, Stash, Vehicle), it's up to you, just hide it well. Don't both with the whole "mass camp" idea. While it looks badass to come into a clearing and see a handfull of tents in a nice clean circle, it's going to get found in no time. When I make camps, I put no more than 2 tents in the immediate area. On my main server I have multiple camps all across the map. Equally divide your loot. Don't put 5 NVs and 5 RFs in a tent, then all your guns in another. If you suspect someone is discretely dipping into one of your tents, move the loot and destroy the camp. Refrain from driving right up to your camp, as dust can be seen from a long distance. Don't place a tent somewhere obvious, keep it random. When you find a suitable spot, search all around your location looking for tents placed by other players. Good luck,

I can't remember who first said this, but if you're worried about "breaking immersion" and realism, is it really nessessary for me to get my nipples wet to fill a water bottle? This game is never going to be flawless, and you can't try to change the game so heros and bandits can't interact, that's just stupid. And listen to what Flux said, you're worried about "Heros" and "Bandits" working together breaks immersion, yet the game forces them to have a certain look in order to identify themselves and their playstyle.

I like realism, but making a shit meter is too far. I will not play a game where I have a "poop meter".

This evening I was playing with some friends, and we were using 100% vanilla settings (i.e. no gamma warriors, etc, etc). I was overwatching a hotspot while I waited for some friends, when I opened my map. It went from the black of night, to the deathly bright map screen. On to my suggestion: In the SA, make the surrounding light levels (i.e. noon, dusk, dawn, midnight, full moon, half moon, nearby light source, no nearby lightsource) effect the brightness of your map. This would mean, if it's midnight and you need to study your map, you'll most likely have to use your flashlight in the mapscreen, which in turn will give off your position to other players. I also think it would just add immersion to the game if you were to open your map at dust and have the map have a dull orange tinge, etc. Thanks, and I'm open to ideas. P.S. inb4 fleshlight joke.

Or atleast require something such as a jack along with a toolbox to repair something such as a tire.

You could just make a "shift up" button, and a "shift down" button, maybe toss in a "clutch" key somewhere too. This would also make the dash have a purpose,

You know what they say! "If you can't find it, grind it" But yes, I would love to see cars with a standard transmission. It would also be neat to see a car be unusable if someone destroys the transmission. Granted, people would want to make it repairable, but repairing/replacing a transmission is a pain in the ass.

1.7.7.1 released not that long ago? You can't expect the dev team to come up with a game changing update once a week. DayZ isn't as appealing over time because you're used to it, it has become a routine. It used to be so exiting because everything was a mystery, you had no idea what was coming next. There are still servers that are quite full, but the population has been divided from Vanilla DayZ on 1 hive, to many private hives, comminuties, and spinoffs of the mod. There are plenty of successful games that don't release new content once a month, and I hope that the SA doesn't do this. I was to play a game with people that are there for the game, not there for content drops. Face it, you'll never get that feeling that you got your first life on DayZ, but you can spruce things up by trying a different playstyle, mod version (i.e. DayZero, Namalsk, etc), or finding a group.

Vanilla DayZ. On a side note, I believe it's a problem with 1.7.7 that stash's are deleting.

You're either using the same copy of the game, or they issued an IP ban. It's probably best to find a server with more...understanding.. admins.

RogueNZ, meet the graveyard. Graveyard, meet dinner.

It feels like I'm the only person who watches DDG... His MSO is better than DayZ though.. I don't really watch DayZ commentators.

Make sure your 3D resolution, and other resolution match up. Other than that, I don't really know enough about your setup to help you. P.S. You don't need to include keyboard, mouse, and headset in your specs, it doesn't effect your FPS. ;) Good luck,

I think beans is a very justifiable reason to shoot someone.

You murdered him, plain and simple. If you're focused around your humanity, maim him and run, don't kill him.

You never know. If you really want to know, your best bet would be to find the server, and contact the admins.

It all depends on the server you were playing on. Sure, it's possible he teleported behind you and shot you. But it's also possible he just logged in behind you. Yes, players can log in that close to eachother, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Do you happen to know the name of the server you were playing on?

I'm confused about what happening. Did the player run through the wall? Did you see the player run up to you? Is there a possability the player came up the stairs when you were in your gear menu? It doesn't really sound like he was hacking. It more or less sounds like he ran up the stairs and shot you, or he logged in right behind you. Players cannot spawn fresh inside the firestation, but if they logged out there, that's exactly where they would be when they logged back in. On a side note, get to a better position (i.e. forest) before checking your gear.

At this point, I'd say it's worth it, but I don't know your funds. If you don't plan on playing ArmA itself, then I would lean away, as the SA alpha should be rolling out soon (hopefully). But if CO goes up during the Summer Sale, snatch it up.

Just find a private hive with a good reputation (i.e. Balota Buddies, BMRF, OFG).

Satchels (Pipe Bombs) are still 100% legit.

I completely forgot.. we need a Skud Launcher.

I just watch my prey, wait until they stop moving, or slip up in some form, then I take the shot. If I'm close up, I stay back, and wait for them to get their hands full (i.e. looting, zombies, etc) then I rush them. If I'm in need, I hold them at gunpoint, entice them with the offer of goodies for a bloodbag, and after they bloodbag me, I usually shoot them in the head.
