    Aiming a weapon - looking down the sight

    Extra tip: if you ever find a "Long Range Scope", right clicking will hold the scope up to your eye, then holding right click will zoom in even farther. This only works on the Mosin.

    Stuck in an invisible room

    If you can't get out that way, try standing next to the wall, pressing V, and logging out in the middle of the animation. When you log back in the game should put you outside the wall.

    Sustenance in the woods?

    I've heard of huntable animals and cooking being implemented. But I haven't heard anything about agriculture. Do you have a source for that?

    how to refil Canteen

    Hit tab to open your inventory, then drag it into your "hands" slot. Look down at the water (or any pump you find) and you should have the option to "Refill bottle." You may need to use the mouse wheel to get the options to come up, or the lake you are at may just be too shallow.

    Barely a Zombie game

    http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ Read the above post. Rocket details which upcoming features are being worked on. More zombies will be part of the optimization process. Personally, it's not that big a deal to me. Yes, more zombies would make it more enjoyable, but as long as they fix it before beta it makes sense to ensure that the other systems are all functional before you crank up the number of zombies.

    WARNING: swimming isn't working

    I once spawned on a sandbar and had to swim into shore. It was buggy like the mod (when you get to shore, you sink through the ground before popping up on land in a standing position) but never got stuck. Could be it's that pond. Could you tell us approximately where you were when this happened?

    How do you attack with bayonets?

    I died of starvation not long after finding the bayonet, so I don't have a picture, sorry :( Mostly I was just wondering whether there was any melee option for guns.
  8. I found the only rifle that Standalone has (Molin I think?), and then found a bayonet sometime later. I attached it to my rifle (which makes it look awesome by the way) but I didn't have any ammo for the gun. So I wondered to myself, can I melee attack with a bayonet? A few minutes of testing confirmed that if you could, I had no idea how. Any idea whether this is possible?

    DayZ Standalone download issues!!!!!!!

    That sucks, the bandwidth cap here is 8 GB. I'll bet part of the problem is that this is an alpha that just came out, so large updates are happening very often. Once you actually manage to get it downloaded the update process should go smoother. Only thing I can recommend is to try downloading again, and if you have to stop partway through cross your fingers and hope no patches get released while you do so.

    What was the design decision that . . .

    V is step over something, same as before. If you hold v while running you can hop fences without breaking stride. In a more general sense, they've had to build everything from the ground up instead of modding an existing game, and they've finally just about gotten back to where the mod was. Which is why I think they released the alpha now, it's decently close to the original experience so most stuff from here moving forward will be viewed as progress and not retreading old ground.

    DayZ Standalone download issues!!!!!!!

    Unless the part that you downloaded is the part that got changed with the updates?

    What are your BIGGEST issues in the game?

    I've seen many people complaining about melee. I was one of them as recently as yesterday. However, today I tried melee combat in first person and it seemed much better. You can clearly see where your axe goes and hit your target more often than not. Have you all tried melee in both first and third person?
  13. RyanW1019

    the melee system is crap

    The melee system in third person is awful. However, using melee weapons in first person is actually pretty easy by comparison, and a lot less buggy. You can see exactly where your axe swing goes and aim for the head more often than not. Have you tried using melee weapons in first person?
