Survivor-Kyle

Ziliphade, I believe Taco was being facetious. Running to populated areas will not address the issues that you have identified.

Just go into the hills around Cherno and live off snipers. They will be looking the other way; just sneak up real quietly, open their ALICE packs, take out whatever gun is inside, and kill them with it.

Try heading North East to Berezino. Same loot as Cherno/Electro, but fewer players. Or, as already suggested, just avoid the big seathbox cities all together.

I find that losing aggro'd zeds is really easy once you stop worrying about them. I've even gotten decent at breaking LoS without the need to dash through a building. Fences and walls are all you need. And a hatchet is worth it's weight in gold.

He has made some pretty drastic changes. There was the "No food spawning" patch, the "Zombies with NVG/IR/ESP" patch, the "Now you start with no guns, lol" patch (I really liked that one-- no sarcasm intended), the "addition of wire everygoddamnedwhere" patch... the list goes on. I would like to see some more frequent wipes of character however. I understand that really rare items would receive less testing that way, but with the prevalence of scripting/duping it'll be no time until everyone is back to flying Helos, rocking NVG's, and sniping with uber rare guns.

There is an ATV on top of the hill NE of Electro on Atlanta 42. Needs gas. It is also not being watched, I'm sure of that.

I am unsure how I feel about the new zeds. I was in a town with a buddy and purposefully agro'd a hoard of them. I was fine, but My buddy got swarmed (by more zeds than I've ever seen in one place) and eaten. It happened so fast too. He was there and 5 seconds later he was gone. Tonight I plan to run through Electro with a flare in my hand to see what all the fuss is about. Bandits, if you see an idiot running through Electro with a flare in his hand, maybe shooting a 1911 in the sky and yelling on his mic, please don't shot him. It'll just be me testing zombie reactions. Shoot all the kids who come out to see what the fuss is about instead. They'll actually have gear on them. :D

So the new forum is nice and all, but is it possible to have the white theme back? The red on black is tough on my eyes and a real PITA to read on a cell phone. I'll acknowledge that it may still exist, I just haven't found it yet.

Oh thank god. This is wonderful. It would be too obvious to put that option in with the rest of the forum/profile options I guess :(

Seem fine to me. I killed 30+ with a hatchet. They ate my buddy, but I ain't sceerd. Zombies are different now. You learned them once, adapt.

I was just playing with a buddy. We pulled a hoard in and I was figuring it would be like any other day. For me it was. Scott was swarmed and eaten, right in front of me, in under 15 seconds. Wow.

I like turtles too.

I have a ghillie, if I'm invisible when I log in I am going to HAUNT THE FUCK OUT OF CHERNO. "OOOOooooOOOOoooohhhh! Where are my beaaannnssss???!??!" Sniper will be SHITTING themselves.

I lost my Wand of Wishing, 2 Magic Missiles, a Mirthril Armo(u)r set, and a bag of magic beans.

How can we fix/test the latest version if we never play it? It's just stuff; you can find more.

Fixed for ya :D

No one said it'd be easy to change the world ;) But we have need for more than just medics. You can help out without ever having to interact with random survivors. Hell, we even need people who are willing/able to kill other players. Society needs more than just medics.

ROCKET HAS BEEN TALKING WITH YOUR MOM. DayZ has officially sold out.

Hello Iskaksen, My name is JOHN ROBERTSON I am a LAWYER who works in the USA as a broker for large bank transfusions. A recent client of mine, ABDULA KAWEEM JAFFAR, who is the son of prime minister of OMAN, has contacted me about a large sum of money he wishes to move out from country to begin a private army and overthrow his father. As a LEGITIMATE LAWYER I cannot do this. I can however, help him move his money to a safest places. Mr. Iskaksen, I would like to propose we help each other out. You PM me your bank account number and routing details (or Paypal), and I will route you the €1.563.244.899 that my client has available. You will then send me a CASHIER CHECK MONEY ORDER for €1.563.244.869, keeping €30 for yourself as payment. With this funds you can to buy ARMAII: Combined Operations, and play DayZ. IF you to agree, please PM me with your account details. Sincerely, Mr. JOHN ROBERTSON

There are other options. You can try to change the dynamics of the game by changing the way players experience it. Like being a medic, taxi driver, guide, etc. PM me if you are bored and want something more out of DayZ. We have something (big) in the works, and I hope it will have a pretty significant impact on things (for better or worse).

Setting all options to their lowest version can actually hinder performance. As can playing on a laptop.

Hizzah!

Rocket, Could you add a new Evil Wizard skin to the game? That way the h4x0rZ will be able to show their true form, as masters of dark arts. It will explain where the zombies have come from (evil spell), why bugs kill people (black magic boobie trap), and give people the end-game mega bosses that some have been looking for. Just add the skin to the loot tables and then give it a 0% spawn chance.

I'd like the ability to dig a 0.5 meters deep pit, maybe 2 meters across (squared). Then cover it with grass/sticks. When a player crosses it, BAM broken leg. Uses the E-tool. Hell maybe even leave the pit open and obvious. square out a moat and put an AS50 in the middle as bait.
