Believe me, I'm no expert but this is what I know. Epoch is a mod to the Dayz mod. I get to the server list by using Dayz Commander. This is a program for servers and mods, updates etc. The Epoch mod allows for all kinds of changes to the original Dayz. Probably a good idea to Google it if you are interested because...I repeat...I'm no expert :blush:

Hi Guys. The server I'm playing on seems to allow turning a barn etc. into a base. I've seen a couple that have the doors boarded up and a garage door on one end. This seems to be a quick way to have a safe base for guys like me that would probably take a year to build one from scratch :) Any of you have experience with this? Any downside I might be missing? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Kindred. Nice video. Watched first one and will watch them all soon. :)

BadLuck, I don't have any interest in kidnapping. I guess for me it comes down to what's fun for me. I've seen a few videos of this type of playstyle and all I could see was a lot of foul language and yelling and people trying to control other people. This is a game? Suppossed to be fun? I guess I did understand...it's just not for me! I hope I'm never that bored. But you guys have fun. I'll be the guy running away when the handcuffs and whips come out :)

Thx for the reply's but nothing has been said so far that would convince me to submit to being restrained. I guess it will be death before capture for me. And for you guys that think being handcuffed is fun...I think there is a word for that :)

I hope a question about SA is O.K here. I have seen a lot of vids and discussion about the use of player restraints. I'm obviously missing something. I don't understand anyone submitting to being restrained. What a crappy way to spend time in a game. Bondage? I don't think so. What purpose could this serve? Seems a little twisted to me. I think I'd rather shoot it out and risk loosing my gear. What am I missing??

Very helpful to me. Text was not an issue. Thanks Shark.

I just started about a week ago and I'm having fun. Bought Arma on a Steam sale. I'm glad I started now to experience the original. No mods yet, just vanila. I have learned to die in so many ways!

Hi gang. Not really a "survivor" yet. Still learning to find food and drink. Had a hatchet once...still died!

Thanks Tempus. Good tip for us noobs. :beans:

Thanks for the welcome. How do the beans work?

Thanks guys, going to give it a try.

I am not understanding my options as far as server choices. So far I have been playing on Steam and there are not a lot of choices for servers with decent ping. How do I find more servers? Because I purchased from Steam, do I have to play through Steam? I see a lot of servers when I google, but I don't know how to access them. Any info appreciated.

Just wanted to say howdy. I have been lurking for a while and was waiting for SA but Steam had a sale,$8 bucks for Arma2 and all the mods so why wait? I'm only a few hours into Dayz and still learning the basics. Damn...this is sure different than any game I have played, and I have played a lot. So far I'm trying to stick with "vanilla" before I try any other severs. I'm sure I will be asking more than a few questions in the future. Be gentle...DAYZ noob here :blush:
