That last shot is perfect, haha!

Jammy little bugger gets a DMR too! No fair. :(

I have the issue too, one second I'm running along facing say north, then suddenly out of nowhere there's some kind of spike.. and my character is facing south.

Mine was 7.7mb

Something else is the matter I think, not your PC. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about streaming or recording gameplay footage. I know, I know.. I'm of great help :)

Awesome! I noticed that Chernarus needs a real prison (walking dead anyone? :) ) oh and maybe a proper multi level shopping mall.

Point seems to be immoral DayZ badassery. I think not son.

M4s are quite common.. it could easily have been a coincidence.

Ala Arma.. 3rd person server, hold the left alt key and scroll all around

One may be walking in the wrong direction. Also try running. Every spawn since the new patch has a town (or city) 10 mins away from it.. if not closer. A good rule of thumb I find, especially if your new to DayZ, is wherever you spawn (except for on that silly island in which case go onto the mainland first) have the coast to your right side.. and keep running until you see buildings.

I miss the old 'You are Dead' Splashscreen with the sad violin type music. Whilst it was on screen and the music was playing I used to have my head in my hands asking myself why.. oh why the fuck did I do that.. Why didn't I stay in cover.. or why didn't I just let that guy walk past. Many a time cursing myself for something I should have handled better... often wondering why I suck so bad, hours upon hours of wasted effort for nothing.. then realizing I am probably feeling the same as the guy ten minutes beforehand felt when I filled him full of lead and looted him, while he was staring at the same screen! DayZ is just fucking awesome!

Had it once.. relogged while the message was there and boof I was alive again.. no loss :)

Found one in the shipwreck once (on NE Coast), unfortunately it was badly damaged so I left it :(

If there is no end-game.. there is no beating the game, EVER.. even if you feel like you have.

I know how you feel bro, I keep looking under them beds but find nothing! I just know one time I'm gonna be shocked to find a dildo... probably coupled with dead batteries of course! however for you women survivors out there struggling to cope in this hell.. it's nothing a 9v Duracell replacement wont cure, I'm sure :)

Forget the book! 121 FPS? What the hell you running DayZ on? Tianhe-2?

Rope - about as useful as Shotgun Shells.

Happy New Year! Thanks for the update :)

I say fuck it sometimes.. I crank up the settings and play and suffer with the 2-10 FPS I get because I want Chernarus to look awesome haha

That's part of the beauty of DayZ, you never know who's around.. Your never 100% safe anywhere on the map and should never assume to be. Just wait until the server player numbers are increased if you think its bad now...

Dry your eyes and loot him man! survival of the fittest!

My heart bleeds.. Sorry I meant the guy in the ceiling does :)

As title states, I have the money to get DayZ but to be honest was holding back until the game gets a little more mature.. Rocket said somewhere don't buy it yet and for a games developer to say don't get it yet was enough for me to hold off. So yeah, I have been content enough so far with watching a few streams and YT vids of other peoples DayZ shenanigans, until now.. Yep, I could buy DayZ at the discount price for early Alpha right now which is fair enough right?, then not even play until such a time the game gets a little better, or I could hold off entirely and buy it later when it costs more but is a better experience, plus be helping the games development by paying the higher price. So what's for the best? I dont want to buy it and play it now and potentially get bored with it after a couple weeks and to have done that just because its cheap.. or what would be even worse would be to jump in now and ruin any kind of enhanced immersion I could have got if I had have held off. I soooo want to play right now! but on the other hand I sooo want to play it when its more complete and awesome! a truly awful dilemma.. I understand impatience can get the better of many a gaming soul, as you can see its starting to eat at me already, hence the post.. but since I/we have all waited this long what's another few months? Help! TL;DR? Should I get the game now or wait until its better?

Screw it.. I cant take it no more :) Just purchased from steam! Thanks guys, See ya ingame!

No vehicles, minimal/random/unbalanced loot, low players per server.. hunger/thirst, dodgy game mechanics.. poor performance.. pretty much all the things disappointing you so far is due to the game being in Alpha. A severely unfinished, buggy game being actively developed and were invited along for the ride. You appear to have fallen into the Alpha trap. Hype most likely got the better of you, as it almost did myself. I took the choice to wait a few more months and just keep eye on progress through watching vids and streams, yep its boring and man I really want to play! but like you I want to spare myself any disappointment, so will wait a little while to see how things pan out :)
