2 days ago I decided it was kos for me, not banditry just kos, I started the playing the game a few weeks ago and opted more for melee weapons and avoiding other players but constantly getting killed for no reason drove me insane esp since loosing my big chance at getting my first vehicle. Last night playing I was in the supermarket and I noticed the zombies getting agro'd outside and running toward the back of the building, so I stopped looting and sat in the corner with my winny pointed at the door. Guy comes running in full speed and stops dead in front of me, I swore that night I wouldnt hesitate to kos but I did, I hear 'noooo no no' on the voice, I ignore coms but dont shot, I decided 'might just let him go, hes no gun' I then thought 'if he had a gun he would kill me??' Hands sweating I was frozen to the spot! Slowly, after about 10 seconds of stand off he turns round and walks into the isles and starts picking stuff up, 'friendly? in supermarket friendly?' comes up in the side chat. I'm now standing up behind the counter looking at him and just before I type friendly in the sidechat I notice something: 'Why thats a fancy backpack? Little pockets all over it! Looks better than my alice pack! Hey he just picked that map up I didnt get to lift because of him distracting me......' Bye bye my friend, rip :) Something like 'NOOB' 'I HATE NOOOOOBS' comes up in sidechat. I feel a little bad for a minute but I got myself a big backpack, ALL the supermarket loot and headed north in search of adventure with big smiles! I love dayz

Ha ha I love this! Today I spawned between cherno and electro, found a winny with 4 slugs, used 3 on zeds. Chased down a guy who'd agro'd zeds but he was a bambi so left him and went up the mountain Pik Kozlova to get a better look at him struggle. Heard shots looked over ledge and couldnt believe it on a ledge below there was guy killing the bambi!!! Really well equipped too for someone sitting on the coast nutting bambis!! One slug from 20 or so meters he wriggles about but colapses while he was bandaging himself and dies bleeding :) So 5-10mins into the game from fresh spawn I have a few cans of food/drink, pdw, hatchet, bandages, map, blood bags (3!), compass, binos, m4a1 with reddot sight, epi pen, p/killers, all tucked up in a british assault pack!!! Thats hours of walking, searching and luck for 'old' con635 :)

Dayz has broken me already... I've only been playing a few weeks now and before I bought the game and pc I watched lots of yt videos, I loved the thought of being the hero, helping fellow man survive and rebuild. At first, constantly being killed became really annoying but I just thought right not go back there then just push more into the wild, then just yesterday I was so close to getting my very own first vehicle all I needed was one wheel and I got it from a building on N/E coast. Full of joy I decided to hit berizino for some general supplies and make my first ever trip to the big airfield, bang out of nowhere on the outskirts I get killed, in a rage I respawned near there not out for revenge but just to get my wheel/hatchet back, bang killed again :( So that was it, another kos player is born, I found an enfield on the way back and came in from west where I was sure I was shot from and there he was (I think) I shot him low and he went down, I watched from distance, the side chat read 'just finish me man, I dont want a 2hr blood hunt', I walked away and left him didnt even reply, worse than death imo esp for the cod style spawn run gun player he was (if it was 'him' who shot me lol) Point of story, morality degrades dependant on circumstance, lord of the flies style. The 'nice guy' who is sensitive, good to women, doesnt kill etc if poked hard enough often enough will evolve backwards and animal insticts will take over. Dayz is a really harsh environment so I'm not surprised my veiws and style have changed so quickly, in fact shooting that guy was my first and it felt good so I'd say a blood lust will come to me soon and I'll be just another a**hole very soon.......

I dont get on nearly as much as I would like, maybe 3-5hrs a week because I have 2 kids, a 2 month old and a 4 year old that take the bulk of my time :( I even became unemployed a few weeks ago and no difference, honestly I dont know where I got the time to work lol Maybe when the baby gets a bit older and the mrs goes back to work(nightshifts ;) ) I'll be able to put as much hrs in as I did on bf3/bo2 on ps3/xb360.

No link mate cant even remember what the video was called, I watched tons of yt videos before I bought my parts for my budget pc.

Could it not be more a case of it runs poorly regardless of spec? I saw a youtube review of a steambox fitted with a pentium the guy described dayz experience just like I have, low settings and 25-60 fps, you dont have to look too far to find a bigger spec machine running it at similar fps.

Yes each section turned sideways is about that size like each pier block is turned 90 degrees, may just forget that tent and 4x4 then :)

I'd say yes and yes, both gpu are around my spec, not sure about cpu, fwiw my cpu scores 4900 on passmark and gpu 550 on passmark, (I know bms dont fully reflect real life) heres the database if anyones interested: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

Hi! First post, just to let people know I'm playing at low detail/quality with 1600 draw distance at 40-60fps in countryside, around though mostly above 30fps in towns on........wait for it.........on a £70 amd a8-5600k apu @4ghz with cheap ballistix tactical 4gb 1866mhz ram on an ultra cheap asrock fm2a55m-dgs using internal gpu!!! Anyone with dt i3/athlon ii and gt440/hd6570 or above will be just fine and the game will be perfectly playable, I did do the 'fixes' posted on here though but didnt play without so dont really know if they work. Sooooooo....... agreeing with deebz1234 please stop willy waving your big £££ intel specs around asking 'can i play on this?' lol
