StayAlive (DayZ)

Clever use of game mechanics, you purist :P

Well, i used to like going inlands, but right now i find it much easier to gear up near or in the coastal towns and at the same time find people to destroy completely *evil grin*

Just played for an hour on private/public servers without any hiccups:)

Right now it's Blazing Rifle 95/MP-133 and Axe. I now mostly stick to urban areas and need to grab what is most easy to find.

I tend to use my pickaxe or axe against them. 60% or the time, it works every time :D

1. Play the game as intended and you should be safe. 2. I have tried with and without microphone. Both works, but I'd say it's much more interesting to actually communicate with the other people. No mic is more tailored for the lone wolf character as i see it. 3. Not all bandits kill and the ones that kill for fun are murderers, not bandits. There is a gray line somewhere though. Most people get itchy trigger fingers around other players, regardless of being a bandit or not. 4. It's actually easier to see players with lower settings, especially when they are hiding in dense areas. Try to lower a lot of settings and see for yourself.

Somehow i manged to read Sophocles as Soapholder. I need some sleep now :D

I just learned a nice tip from twitch streamer Echoics - [http://www.twitch.tv/echoics] that i thought i'd share with the rest of the lot: Sometimes when you have an item in your vicinity, you can't drag it into your backpack. But, if you drag and drop it away from your vicinity and them double click on the item, it should go into your backpack! :)

Hello Community, a little early Christmas gift from me: Thought I'd share some tips that might be of use for some of you. 1. If you lean left or right in third person while slowly zooming out, you can in most places see behind barricades, like walls. You basically get a wider view of the surroundings 2. In prone position you can easier get through small gaps, like some door frames, that would otherwise be hard to get through. 3. If you break your leg, you can still crouch or stand while shooting, if you remain stationary. You can also walk up and down stairs when starting in prone position. 4. You can drive underwater. 5. You can herd animals very easily by moving to the opposite position to where you want them gathered. 6. Zombies cannot go through metal gates, so you can easily get rid of them this way. The top door in the police station is also a nice place to get rid of zombies or get killed. 7. If you wait in one of the many bus stops in Dayz, you might get a lift. 8. There is a higher chance of getting more food out of different containers if they are on the ground and not in your inventory. Only if you don't have the can opener. 9. Look for places where there is a wider pattern of rain drops, and you will not get wet. As an example: Some trees will give you good protection, while others will not. 10. There is almost a 100% chance of getting an axe or other melee weapon in one of the open/closed sheds scattered around every village/city. 11. The car scrap yards in Dayz is a very good place for finding clothes. food, containers and weapons. Trains also have a lot of loot in them and are mostly ignored by players. 12. If you need autorun, wedge a coin between the key you use for running. 13. There are unlimited apples, berries, chicken feathers from the source you are harvesting from. You just need to wait a little before you strike gold again. 14. You can examine your compass from the inventory. No need for using the action bar. 15. Never EVER use any types of backpacks with the exception of Child Breifcase and the improvised backpacks, if you don't want to be spotted quickly that is. 16. Make a safe zone around your character. If any person you don't trust enters it, you can use deadly force. Makes it easier for you to figure out just when you feel uncomfortable. 17. Zombies will attack what is closest to them, so if you spot another player and run past them, the zombie should start attacking them. You can even gather up a horde of them, run inside a building with an enemy and unleash HELL! 18. If you get shot and even if you did not, you can fake bandage by canceling your bandaging. Some people will react instantly to the sound of someone bandaging thinking it will be an easy kill. 19. If you have two or more people after you, find a narrow place where there are no way to circle around and lure them in. 20. If you are unsure of what server to join and how to find a good one, you should try out - https://www.gametracker.com/search/dayz/US/ That is all i can remember for now. Stay safe! :)

Right now it's a clever use of game mechanics and not really an exploit at all. All you are doing is using the third person mode to it's limits, just like how you can lean left or right behind cover and at the same time see beyond that cover. Pen cap lid is a nice tip, maybe even better for laptops:)

Schoolgirl with an axe creepy!

There is no problem in using one, but if you want to not be spotted to easily, you might want to get a type that is smaller in size. Hell, if you want to go hardcore, you don't really need any backpack at all. Happy to be of service! Right back at ya!;)

Would love to see a good chainsaw prank or maybe not a prank at all, just a mindless slaughter? :) Also: That clip is more fake that my 1 billion dollar gold teeth coating.

My pleasure! One of my favorite servers right now are: 185.62.204.48:2302. Description: GER/EN Friendly Looting&RP PRIVATE NORMAL 2 by SelbstjustiZ.

I have experienced not seeing a soul for something like 30 minutes in a high populated server and in a major city on the coast. But, as long as you don't stay to stationary, the chances should be very slim.

Congratulations!:)

Just looked down on my hands and what do you know. My thumb nail is all black. I did not hurt it, nor have i ever found any nail polish in the game. Have not checked if this also is the same for the male characters. Could be gangrene, but that would be a hell of a way to start for a fresh spawn :D
