Your quite lucky, my first run at night (which was also my first ever go at DayZ, a long, long time ago) saw me lying dead on the pitch black beach, 10ft from where I spawned, after receiving 10 macarov bullets to my face. Back then you spawned with a gun. I had never felt so scared in my life. It was from that point on I fell in love with this game.

Heard a sniper taking shots at someone on a Taviana server, I made my way to the noise, it got closer and closer until it stopped and I saw a death message, he must have been a bad aim for it to take him that long to shoot a guy. Anyway by this time I had almost figured out his location he was near a warehouse in Martin, figured he would be somehwhere high for the vantage point a sniper usually uses.. So I spotted him up a tower, zombies were climbing up to him, lots of them.. I figured I'd wait until 1.. the zeds finished him off, or 2.. he dispatched of the zeds and would start to make his way down. He didn't budge, that was his perch, he cleared the zeds and I moved to a position where I could get a good clear shot.. he must have spotted me and began raining bullets my way, cracking and popping near me I knew I had to find cover so ran behind a wall.. he attracted more zeds from his fire so I sat behind the wall a little while, I heard him start to shoot the zeds climbing up to him so I popped out.. waited for the perfect time to shoot and bam.. one bullet from my FAL sent him to his death. Now onto the fail part, I wanted his gun, I really wanted it so I just had to go fetch it from his body... there were still zeds up there feeding on his corpse and a couple just standing there waving there arms about so I took the choice to just go up there and fight them off with my silenced m9. I start to climb the tower ladder and reach the top, the zeds are hitting me and I'm shooting them fast as I can then suddenely.. one seemingly knock me through the barrier around the top of the tower and I fell to my death. Suffice to say I was pissed.. I respawned 12k away from my body and the server was warning a restart in 10 minutes I had no chance to make it that far. Moral of the story is never go after a dead guy who is on a tower surrounded by the undead, it wont end well.

The Hatchet! You could chop a fuckers head off with a powerful enough swing of that thing.

The manner in which a bandit goes about his banditry makes him what he is. He can sit in a bush and ruthlessly kill passer by's, sometimes having to wait for hours for such opportunity... or he can storm towns looking for his prey, maybe he even gets his kicks from offing hatchet wielding fresh spawns. He's ultimately the worse person to be near on the server. He will tend to kill not only for the thrill, but the challenge. If possible a bandit should be avoided at all costs unless of course one is also a bandit. Having personally tried the banditry side of Dayz the tricky part for a lone bandit (like myself) is staying alive long enough to call yourself one.

Nope it's not an individual servers fault, I know that. But I find that once these people find a server to pry on they will just stick at it until eventually they get banned or the server gets reset to before any damage occured, I then lose my hard earned stuff, which loses my interest in that server.

I like your UI looks really professional and I could see something like that in Dayz, however didn't they say they were going to make it similar to minecraft? That in mind, check my effort, I coulda maybe spent another 20 mins finding other inv items but you get the picture haha

I was in a server yesterday, some tit had all of us doing gangnam style dance moves and handstands. Wouldn't be so bad, and would have probably laughed it off, but when it occurred in the middle of a tense exchange of a long range firefight, it's certainly something you can do without. Just another server to scratch off my list of favorable servers, yet another one bites the dust, unfortunately.

Arma 2 had the most annoying UI and keyboard config tomfoolery ever in a video game, especially for a FPS... in my opinion anyway, twas a real struggle. At first I felt overwhelmed and even somewhat annoyed, but in the end the learning curve was well worth it, now I'm used to it and 'feel the character' I don't want it to change... because I'm scared of change.

Why does this kind of shit never happen to me? I'm somewhat jealous. Everyone I meet tend to immediately shoot me in the face.

If you choose to live in the woods then fish would be rare as hell I would imagine.

I aint used the one on steam.. not sure what that actually does, I never launch the game through steam anyway, steam was just a way of me getting the game. I just use dayz commander to update to new beta's.

I'm thinking... Actually... Is it wrong to be thinking about ones sex life in an apocalypse?

I suppose if the server belongs to them.. then so do the rules they want to associate with it. If they want to keep the things for themselves that you speak of then I should imagine it's their choice. However, I doubt their choices are a good idea to keep any sort player numbers playing on their server, which is why your here. Just find yourself a different one to play on, there's many to choose from.

Should be fine for Arma on high, get a decent high speed HDD to install it on if possible... and bring along plenty of RAM.. 4GB plus.

Your system seems close to mine and I recently did some stuff in the options that helped my framerate a bunch, originally i was getting from 9-20 in some towns like cherno and after tweaking some options shooting quite a bit up to between 25 and 60, all of which didn't make much; if any at all difference to overall graphic quality. try these suggestions, worth a shot... Set "3D resolution" to 100%, so it both equals your interface resolution and your native desktop resolution. Set "Video Memory" to "Default". <-- The setting named default (Below very high). Set "Vsync" to disabled. Set post processing settings to "very low" or "off". Turn down shadow detail to low. Turn off Anti-Aliasing (disable), Instead use PPAA in the advanced graphics options instead of normal Anti Aliasing to enhance image quality try each to see what you like best, personally I use the sharp filters. I also turn down "Head Bobbing" in the Game Options. Please let me know if you try these and have positive results.

Mk48 Mod 0,or M249 in short bursts, they literally smash anyone in their path.

You were a lesser threat than the zombies, if you went looting the supermarket you likely picked up beans? if so... then that's what he wanted... that or your crossbow. Maybe he just wanted to kill you for kicks, just got back from a 3 hour stint on COD, FFA Nuketown and felt supreme. Spawn and start again, happens to us all. Greetz from internet.

I consider myself to be a lone survivor, I have tried playing in a group of 3 with some friends who also have the game, can't say I enjoyed it other than the fact I had people to talk to. I'll tell you one thing.. it was funny as hell when my friend found a bike, he was sooo choked! positively tugging away at his penis at the fact... well he got on and started circling around the town we were in and zeds surrounded him, he ran into one of them and that broke the bike... they then broke his legs, knocked him out and then proceeded to munch him.. he was screaming in chat for us to help him but I was just too busy laughing to do anything. He died, I aint even seen him play the game since haha. What I'm saying is playing with a group is for fun more than for the scary, the mods intended tense and bumhole twinging impact is only really noticeable when you are playing alone... but whatever floats ya boat I guess... it's just a preference thing.

Pretty sure they aint gonna make the game look worse just for the benefit of dinosaurs, riding dinosaur rigs. Sheesh. You should see the game on 'Very High' on all settings, it's breathtaking. It's enough to make anyone want to go out; or at least save to buy a modern 'gaming' PC. The San Andreas vegetation looks crap, forgive me for saying. We certainly don't need that sort.

Whatever you wanna call them.. they are both ugly and want to eat you.

Bambi is a baby/young Deer.

Whats the game going to be named as? DayZ SA? or just DayZ?

I would just like to ask if the new Chernarus map will have boundries inside the playable map area instead of all this off the map vehicle hugging, debug forest nonsence the mod currently has. You could make chernarus an island by plopping sea all around its outskirts, or possibly have a barrier around the 2 edges that are currently off the coast. Apologies if this has been asked and answered before now.

If you leave things inside it wont respawn fresh loot in that particular loot spot, it takes about 3-5 minutes for fresh loot to spawn.. I find leaving the area to about 400 meters away and then going back usually does the trick. Have to be careful though as barracks are hotspots for other players too, they will most likely bump into you while your doing it, it's happened to me.

What? nobody has love for the Winchester?! Find one of these and your blown in, I have always topped any firefight using a winny, unless of course I got sniped.
