    What is the nicest thing you have done in DayZ

    I don't live long enough to do nice things. But I would if I could! People really should take more time to see what people are going to do before shooting them.

    Public service announcement

    I did just the graphic options from this guide and it seemed to work pretty well, although I haven't checked the actual FPS gain. Some of the stuff on there went too low for my liking, but it's a great place to start to see what kind of performance you get. Then just boost whatever you want until you have a good balance between what you like and what you need in terms of FPS. I haven't tried the Steam booting options or config tweaks. I should probably do that and see what happens. I might even be able to turn some graphic stuff up higher. :) @OP - if you did things that aren't listed in this guide, please post them. I'm sure lots of people would like to make any tweaks they can.

    Getting really bummed out after buying this game.

    If you need help with figuring out where you are and where to go: http://dayzdb.com/map Basically when you first spawn in, you'll be somewhere along the coast. All the towns have road signs, so until you learn to recognize them by landmarks, just look at the sign and then find it on the map (in game it'll only show the Russian version). Some people consider this map cheating in a sense, since it'll show you loots spawns and whatnot... But as a working adult with kids, I don't give a crap. I don't have time to wander around aimlessly. In my short time to play, I like to figure out where I'm at and figure out where I'm going. It's fun for me that way, so I don't pay much attention to the purists. As for losing gear, that's just part of the game. I get killed all the time. Just how it goes. It sucks if you lose it to a server glitch, but again, shit happens. Gotta keep a positive attitude and just try again! Hope you stick around. Once you get the hang of it, DayZ is a lot of fun. :)

    A wonderful experience.

    There's friendly people everywhere. :) Sometimes it just takes a bit to find the diamonds in the rough. Wish more people would take the time to at least do something interesting. You can kill me all you want, but at least make it entertaining.

    Team Speak

    I've used TS while playing all kinds of games, including DayZ (mod and SA). I've never had an issue with it. I've never used it on a phone/tablet, but I can't imagine it'd be any better than on a PC. As mentioned it doesn't use a lot of resources, so I'd say just put in on your PC.

    standalone

    If you find a low population server you probably won't run into too many people. Or find a whitelisted server that doesn't have many KOS bandits.

    Anyone else playing as a hoarder currently?

    I'd love to hoard, but I never find any tents...

    influx of SA players to the mod

    If you don't want to play with more people, then get your own server or find another low-pop server to call home. Having a game grow in popularity is a good thing that should not be discouraged.

    Think I found worst person to play Dayz

    You got killed by the worst person to play DayZ? That's pretty bad.
  10. This is one of the most annoying things in SA. Those little messages are ridiculous. I'm all for immersion, but sometimes you have to make concessions because of the medium. Having a small, unintrusive HUD is the best method of giving character feedback.

    What's the most broken.

    Come on now, this is the Internet. Surely there will be a logical, fact-filled debate where everyone calmly expresses their opinions and respectfully acknowledges those who have a different opinion.

    Fuel Source Depletion And Alternative Fuel Sources (Server Uptime)

    https://greasecar.com/ Gotta love technology, eh? :)
  13. Go here: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/40710/
  14. It doesn't look like the expansions are on sale individually either, so just buy the complete collection to get everything, even if you've already got the base game.

    first encounter with a hacker

    Hacks, hacks, everywhere there's hacks! In the shacks there's hacks! In the packs there's hacks! Is a hack over here? Is a hack over there? I saw a hack in a bear in a snare! Come little hack, Have a little snack, And leave these poor quacks alone.

    If they're chocolate chip, you can give them to me.

    PLEASE REMOVE Dupe/Unli Foods/Unli Ammo

    I'm glad you made this suggestion. I'm not sure the devs would've thought to remove the bugs had you not mentioned it. Also, you may want to look into getting a new keyboard. It appears your caps lock key is broken.

    Elektro. No one will expect it.

    Global banned WHY!

    I bet your little brother installed cheats. Little brothers always install cheats.

    Too difficult/frustrating in the beginning?

    A survival game that makes it easy to survive is not a survival game.

    Arma 3 DayZ?

    There is no DayZ mod for Arma 3. The closest thing would probably be Breaking Point.
