Statik (DayZ)

Very good guide! Here are a few changes of mine though: Regarding your "recommended loadout" I strongly agree. But that is because I am actually a medic and I usually play in teams. If you are planning to roll solo, ditch the blood bags. They are not necessary as you will need another player to give you one. Instead, make sure you have a Hatchet (commonly found in residential and industrial areas), Hunting Knife (Found in residential areas, industrial areas, and the store), and Matches (again store, residential, and industrial). This way you can cook meat and always keep around 4 on you so you can get that blood back up! And a quick "pro" tip: Always keep as much as you can in your backpack. If I has the same load out as in this post. I would keep on me, 1 morphine, 1 painkiller, one steak/bloodbag, and 3 mags. This way you can have some clear inventory space so if you need to run in, grab something and get out fast you can do so without having to worry about screwing around with your backpack. Good luck bambies! And remember, if you ever need any medical help, don't forget to contact The Trusted Medics of the Wasteland, we are here to help!

So I've seen a website, and they have a little tutorial of how to go into your ArmA 2 files and do some stuff to get camo face paint on your arms and face. Is this against the rules?

Merrick, I would help, but I'm having some ping issues. Hop on the TS and go into the help needed channel and a medic will contact you directly TS adress: ts.dayzmedics.com

It depends, here are my preferred setups: Overwatch: AS50, L85A2 AWS, Ghillie, NV Goggles, Rangefinders, etc., M9 SD CQC/Loot Runs: DMR, M4A1 CCO SD/M4A1 Holo/L85A2 AWS, M9 SD, Hero Clothing Medic/Bodyguard Operations: DMR, M14 AIM/L85A2 AWS/Any M4 Scoped (i.e. CCO, CCO SD, Holo), M9 SD, Hero Clothing/Ghillie Night Raids/Operations: DMR, Bizon PP-19/M4A1 CCO SD, M9 SD, Ghillie/Hero Clothing That's all I can really think of for now. There are other guns I like, but those are decent base classes, you can tweak them any way you choose. I even do sometimes. Depending on which gun I want to use. Enjoy :)

Just log in and look at the name below Chenarus.

I see where you're coming from in many departments, but still: Food/Spawn Rate: In the beginning people would not just leave tonnes of food lying around. They would take as much as they can. Regarding spawn rates. I kind of get what you're saying, but if loot re spawned only on reset, or even every few hours, the game would be rediculiously slow, because the only loot you would find would be tin cans and whiskey bottles. Clothing: I feel that different types of clothing with damage resistance, and stats like that would just flat out make DayZ almost like a class game. Plus, if you were in a real post apocalyptic situation, would you run around in full riot gear? Weapons: I never said they shouldn't add weapons to the game. They SHOULD add them to the game. I just think any military grade weapons should be very rare. Regarding you chainsaw comment, I didn't say take loud guns out of the game. I just merely said that firing up a chainsaw in town would be the equivalent of popping a zombie with an M107 in Cherno. Easter Eggs: In a way I get where you're coming from. I think that SUBTLE Easter Eggs could have a place in DayZ. Nothing like a Werewolf or Slenderman though. NPCs: Compared to release, DayZ has had a significant increase in the amount of bandits. But that is what makes the game realistic, for the most part, a lot of people play this game like how they would act if the situation they were in was really happening in real life. But, there are many friendly player in DayZ, for example, people like FrankieOnPCin1080p. There are also tonnes of clans and organizations, like the on I am in The Trusted Medics of the Wasteland. There are also many different groups that are part of The Coalition and would love lend a helping hand, and would not shoot on sight. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I understand where you are coming from, somewhat. I am not trying to shoot down your ideas. If you would like them, great, cool, good for you. I am merely just trying to point out the pros the cons, to show you if they would actually have a place in DayZ, of if they would harm the game. P.S. I don't see in any way how I said they should take guns right out of the game...

First of all. Regarding NPC's. These will never be added to the game, nor should they ever be. They would just ruin the game. Plain and simple, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Regarding food: if anything, food should be more rare. This is a post-apocalyptic scenario. There shouldn't be a variety of food everywhere. You should be scrounging for food, just as much as guns. Animals: I semi like the idea of wild animals, but they could be somewhat buggy and annoying, but I like the idea. Creatures: NO. This is DayZ, a survival simulator. Not a jump scare game. All I have to say is, if werewolves or slenderman were added into this game, I would just stop playing. Weapons: I guess more weapons into the game would be nice, but lots of your weapons are completely impractical. This isn't left for dead, firing up a chainsaw would be a death sentence. Brass knuckles would do no damage to a zombie. Regarding military grade weapons: They need to turn the spawn rate of ALL military items down! I remember the game when finding an M24 was amazing. In a post-apocalyptic situation, there would not be high-grade military loot just laying around everywhere. Plus impractical guns are useless. The point of the game is to survive, not run around with something like a flintlock "because it's cool". I also feel lots of the other guns would be quite useless in DayZ. Moving on to clothing: So far there is civilian clothes (bandit and hero included), ghillie suit, and camo clothing. I understand that some clothing types are being implemented into the standalone (i.e rain jackets, warm clothing, etc), But items such as Hazmat, police clothing, biker clothing, suit, etc, would be completely impractical and useless. DayZ is not a game to make your player look "cool", the point of clothing is to give you an edge (i.e. camouflage, dryness, warmth, etc) I really think that you need to think a lot more about these things and the impacts they would have on the game before you recommend things like this. A lot of the things you want would be completely useless, others would ruin the game and what it is/what it has brought to the gaming community. And you have a few idea's that are decent/good.

Yeah. Sorry Hollis. I can't really help you there. It's kind of a pain since there are so many private hives. If you still need help I would say jump on the Teamspeak, and ask around.

Hey guys. So my Dad is quite addicted to the computer (up and over 10 hours a day). Making it very troublesome to get on DayZ haha. I can't rattle off our computer specs by heart (and he's on atm so I can't check), but from what I can remember, our specs are: Windows 7 AMD Processor (can't remember which model and I think it's 3.5GHz, and 6 cores I believe) 16gb RAM Radeon 7870 Video Card ASUS Sabertooth Z79 (possibly X77 but I think it's Z79) w/ DDR3 2 TB Hard-drive And I recommended that we plug two monitors (we have a 27inch -1920 X 1080- monitor, and I bought another one for gaming), into the computer and I can run DayZ and he can run his game. But he says that his game uses too much RAM and is too hard on the computer. Here are the recommended specs for his game: Windows OS: Windows XP/Vista /Windows 7 Macintosh OS: OSX 10.6/OSX 10.5 Processor: 3 GHz Dual Core or 2.66 GHz Quad Core Memory: 4 GB Hard Drive: 2 GB Free Sound: on-board or better Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 250 or Radeon HD 4850 or better* Broadband Internet Connection So would it be possible for us to run DayZ and his game at the same time? If you want to see gameplay to get an idea of the graphics of his game check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-3Ww1QfvjU

Well. I'm pretty sure it can. I would just like confirmation, because he says it cannot.

Hey Hollis. There doesn't seem to be many medics on the Teamspeak atm. But on one of my Namalsk players is at Vorkuta. But what private hive are you on? Because I'm not sure if we have any medics on you specific server.

If they are unaware of my presence, I will carefully move in, wait until they are looting something/doing something, then I will state who I am, tell them to crouch and drop their gun and side arm, say I don't want it, they can have it when I'm done, it's for safety. If they turn I usually am forced to shoot them. If the player see's me first, I will do 1 of two things. One, I will attempt to make contact (i.e. make them drop their gun). Or two, I will make my way to a safe location, away from them. If I ever come under fire, again I will do one of two things, depending on my situation. If I am on an operation such as a medic operation, I will either just get the hell out, and let my bodyguard deal with it, or I will return fire buying myself enough time to get out. If I am alone and just playing, I will usually get out of there, but keep eyes on them, then flank around to their 6'oclock, or side, and I will put a round or two in their head. But I never fire unless fired upon, or have seen that person kill another player.

I get where you're coming from. But I feel instant bandaging would be quite overpowered.

Ummm...Hero's do have perks. Their sprint is faster than that of a survivor or bandit, and their vest stops low caliber bullets, such as M1911, Revolver, G17, etc. I also believe that in a close proximity, Hero's can hear the heart beat of other players (not 100% sure about that, even though I'm a hero haha). And I really don't like the whole tent idea. Because what if you play with a clan/organization/friends. What if you need something from a friendly tent that you did not place? Besides, if you are in dire need of something, and you run across a tent, it doesn't really make you a bad person/bandit if you steal from it. It's helping you survive. Same goes for dead bodies. I kind of like the whole self-transfusion idea. But I don't really like the whole repairing thing. Because you can't repair a wheel with scrap metal, or a windshield with engine parts, or a fuel-tank with wheels. So some of your ideas are pretty cool, some are slightly irreverent, since they are already implemented in the game. And I personally feel some wouldn't work too well in the game (i.e. they would be almost overpowered, or would just ruin it.).

Hey guys, so I switched to a different server 'cause a friend has a heli. But whenever I logged in I would be slightly leaning and could only look around with the ALT look, and I couldn't walk or anything. I finally fixed it, and now whenever I try to log in to my home server, or any server for that matter, I am experiencing the same issues. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for any help!

P.S. I am only getting this on the main hive. Private hives work fine.

Not sure if we can help you there. We have some medics on private hives, but maybe not on your specific one. But hop on the Teamspeak and ask around. You might get lucky! Good luck. :)

It would be much harder to admin a server. Plus it would be a pain in the ass to keep track. And there are many more cons that outweigh the pros.

Hop on the TS and message me! I'll see what I can do. :)

Hey guys, So I spawned in at my camp by Rogovo. I died instantly... I tried to reconnect in-case it was a glitch. Now every time I log in, I fall over dead, but I can still access my gear, I can eat/drink, etc. But I can't respawn. HELP!

Hey Dab, add me on Skype. Z_StaTik_z

How do you bypass steam?

Did you try re-downloading it?

I have noticed that it depends on the server. I have been able to play on servers with 3D resolution on 100% or sometimes more, graphical settings all as high as they can go, and I can record with 30fps. Other servers I have 100% res., same settings and run 25fps without fraps. I think that view distance and 3D resolution STRONGLY affect for FPS, so I would recommend turning them down. 30fps is easily playable, but I prefer as high as I can because it just makes the game feel so much smoother. Good luck. :)

Building a computer doesn't come cheap. But my Dad built a custom built gaming computer, 16GB of ram, etc. Including a 27inch monitor it all cost around $1,500-1,700. So it's not quite cheap, but it's most definitely worth it. If you live in Canada, I strongly recommend you buy/build from Memory Express, they have great prices, service, quality, and warranty. But I don't believe they are available in the US. Good luck. ;) Memory Express Website: http://www.memoryexpress.com/
