We all have our little unicorn items , Our Mt Dews ( for those of the mod days ) Mine is the Chain saw. I either can never find it , or when i do , i dont have a camp to store it and get full use of it . 99% of the time when I actually do find one ... Its in a tree stand where I CANT TAKE IT DOWN Actually found 3 up there once... died falling out while trying to get one down ... https://youtu.be/70g5Hn3T3hk BTW , how do i get video to embed ?

Kinda getting bored of scoping out a town , and being able to clear the infected long before i get with in possibly detection range of them . Was thinking.. Why not leave a few silent sleepers inside the houses.. Ones that didn't move or make noise until you ran up on them and caught aggro. And add a lot more of the ones that crawl to high grass areas to sneak up on people maybe a couple just laying dormant in ponds with just their head at the edge of the water.

So I've been offline for about a year.. Since my high end rig died by lighting strike ... Visited a few times on my low end media pc rig.. But all that aside . Im back now.. And I am in need of a new PC . Desires .. VR , Recording, Streaming Restrictions.. Budget ..technical knowledge on new hardware.... I'm in the US ., basically i need suggestions on what DayZ needs now to run well with the new engine.. and ideally maybe a few links pointing me to some good sites to shop on ., ( U.S ) My Budge is currently $500 .. unless you guys know sites that may take payments on a new pc ..with crap credit ..

Im mostly on here while at work .. but i will check into putting TS on my phone so we can defiantly do that

build new one

UHG .. I am so outdated on all this stuff.. trying to use that pcpartpicker.com site suggested.. to piece this thing together .. .

this is what i've put together so far - Intel - Core i7-870 2.93GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor $168.99 - be quiet! - Pure Rock Slim 35.1 CFM CPU Cooler $23.88 - Biostar - T5 XE ATX LGA1156 Motherboard $108.50 - Corsair - XMS3 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory $93.99 - Corsair - 850W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $69.99 Total: $465.35

i'll look over that site now.. I think if i budget out a little better i can spend a bit more , and just focus on a barebone i5 or i7 to get me started and add parts over the next few paychecks

sadly no home insurance .. sadly , the storm that produced the lighting that took out my pc , is the same storm that caused lighting to strike my mothers upholstery shop across the street and caused it to burn down.. took us a while to rebuild and recover from all that chaos ..

the original game system ( $2,500 a few years ago) basically is scrap metal now.. everthing but the case pretty much melted or burnt .. could smell it .. pwr supply, HDD , mother board .,.. all of it , even the outlet, batteryback up and surge protector fried.. .. the media center pc i will get specs when i get home since i just havent looked at it in a while.. thank you guys for the offers.. I may take you up on them ..

amazon does not seem to have very good pricing on PCs

media system is a old dual core 2. ghz.. 80 gig hdd , i think 4 gigs ram .. windows 7 .. ( at work so i cant recall all specs) .. one of those compact case .. no extra slot motherboard.. had to chop it all up and take everything apart just to fit a newer vid card .. its a paperweight honestly .. I'll take a pic when i get home.. I would up my budget a little high .. if I could make payments.. might look more into like a OEM rig or something .

Lol screw you guys . I had fun making it .

Hate to be Mr Negative in light of all the awesomeness that is 0.60 . Which is AMAZING Btw .. Good job Devs ! That being said.. I have some issues as it currently stands .. CLE is out of whack again.. Here's a few examples in 59 Nets were too rare .. Last night I found 28 nets before i found a fishing pole ( with netting + steel wire Fishing rod is pointless fyi) Yet Burlap is now as rare as Nets use to be.. or so it seems Apple tree glitch still works.Too much food still spawns And now Chickens are over populated .. Yet Larger animals seem even more uncommon . So yet again. No real point in the whole Hunting/ trapping aspects of game play.. Meet so many people with 500+ hours that have never experienced the need to hunt/ fish/trap for food to survive .. kinda sad really . Hunger / Thirst /Health seems to have been rebalanced.. once green i seem to stay in that condition MUCH too long.. one meal a day ? seems boring ... With the new weather system going .. which I really like .. Making fires from time to time once again is a nice requirement .. Still be nice to get a BiC lighter tossed into the loot for a third teer fire starter option ( make for a nice small torch light option too ) Melee is still pathetic.. It will never be a zombie survival game without proper melee ... Some minor bugs I've encountered.. Still being tested before reporting If you allow yourself to be cornered . Zombies will push you through a wall .. may also follow you through it . Grafix glitch will occasionally Flash a white square over a new player rendering into your field of view.. making people insanely easy to spot from any distance . Possibly exploitable ? Not a pvper .. so will be slow to test this out . Weapons .. reloading ,, jamming ... misfireing ? confusing honestly .. all sound the same and new keys dont always seem to respond properly .. Just the few annoyances I've faced in the few hours I've had a chance to play around

hunting scopes i find mostly in tree stands. and now in houses on other rifles like the trumpet

So far from what I have encountered Melee Wood axe is about useless on zombies now so is my trusted pointy stick and spear CR527 Will not 1 shot a cow .. Which btw cost me my dinner TWICE ! Have yet to find a fishing hook for this nice new rod... and for what ever reason cant use the bone hooks ? cause logic ? Large animal spawns seem to have been reduced Where is 308 ammo and winchesters spawning nowadays ?

You know... i might have screwed up on the fishing hook.. too late now since i tossed the pole after finally finding the steel wire to make my fish trap. But I'll go get another one just to check it out.. but your saying a 308 wont 1 shot cattle anymore either ? WTF ... Thats not going to be the same for the bull elk too is it ? getting a 2nd shot into the same cow isnt really a good balance considering most hunting rifles are bolt actions ...or just have slow cycle times between shots .. this is disappointing info... guess I'll have to start looking for a blaze and double fire for a while.. refuse to go with a assault rifle to hunt ... guess they really wanted to make that low recoil M4 a necessity ... FML

Hello guys.. your friendly neighborhood survivalist here once again. Glad to be back. Currently looking for the following .... Assault vest ( prefer that camo one ) Or the green High Cap will be fine too USMC Pants and Jacket ( any condition is fine ) Steel Wire ( I just can't seem to find any ) Burlap straps ( a lot ) Either the Winchester with ammo Or the B95.. Or just a mag for the CR527 would be nice Have to Offer . Magnum & 357 ammo Shot gun ammo 9mm ammo Trumpet with 22 ammo Netting Lots of quality cooked meats and veggies Cr527 (no mag) with ammo

So I'm finally releasing version 1.0 of my public map. Marking all known Animal spawn locations and Paths. Please note: This simple image file is the ongoing result of countless hours spent walking every inch of the map Visually confirming / locating any and all animal spawn locations. This is only the first release of this project, I have much much more to come. http://extrazoom.com/image-54280.html Key to reading this map: Red circles indicate the animal AI spawn locations and general idle feeding area. Idle Feeding simply means the area in which they will roam around in passively when not scared or running away. Yellow indicates large paths the large animals such as Elk, Whitetail Deer, and Cattle have been confirmed to walk while Idle . The smaller the circle the more exact I have narrowed down their idle area locations. Understanding Animal Ai. From what I have gathered .. There seems to be 3 general spawn types in regards to animals. Domesticated Animals- Pig,Dark Chickens,Sheep, goats,Cows. Tend to have their very own set spawn locations , and will stay within smaller areas. (with the exception of cattle) They also seem to have a much smaller detection radius . Allowing the hunter to get closer in order to use shorter ranged weapons. Wild Game-WhiteTail Deer,Elk,White Chicken,Foxes,rabbits. Tend to have a much larger area they will roam. Likely very large set paths they will follow. Their detection radius is much larger, making them much easier to spook and scare off before getting a chance to see or take shots at them . (except for the chicken and fox currently) Wild Boar. Wild boar are separate from the domesticated pig and other groups. As it seems to have its own spawn locations, which will often overlap others (Almost like a dynamic event spawn), When scared ( shot at and missed for example) and not chased, It will return to its location within a few minutes . If chased , it has a rather small area it will run around in , Making it one of the easier animals to melee . Also currently the only animal that allows the crafting of a unique item ( Improvised Leather Backpack) WhiteTail Deer- Hands down the hardest animal to hunt currently. They tend to hang around wider open areas . Are the fastest runners, Will sprint directly into tree lines or up hills. Have the largest detection radius of any other animal. Typically requiring a scoped rifle to reliably get with in range of shooting them. Knowing your Prey. Logic implies and confirmed, The larger the animal , the higher cal weapon you will need to successfully 1shot kill them. While a 22 will work on a chicken. You will need a .308 for cattle and elk. Foxes seem to be bugged at the moment , and have the slowest running speed of any other animal I have hunted so far. You literally can just jog up next to them and axe them easily. Chickens , Foxes and Rabbits are DAMN NEAR impossible to find or see in first person view , due to the high grass.. If you play on 1pp servers.. learn to scout hill tops... and good luck....considering grass rendering distance... **Spawn Locations and Habitats: Certain animals seem to favor certain areas more than others. Learning these areas , will help you in tracking down what you need. For example . From my observations .Domesticated animals tend to spawn most often in and around towns. Small towns specifically . WHile the large herding animals such as Deer , Elk ,Cattle tend to either hang around bodies of water in their set walking Paths . While others such as Wild Boar and foxes like open fields more. This info is not set in stone however . WHile it is rather common to see a herd of deer for example gathered around a pond , laying in the grass and being idle. IF watched long enough , I have learned that they will eventually get up and go for very long walks , Sometimes stopping and feeding in open fields , sometimes just moving to the next body of water before stopping again . Typically taking their sweet ass time about it too... While at other times they seem to be more destination driven , and move continuously at a faster pace. Stealth: Animal Ai seem to follow a Logic based stealth system which reacts to a combination of Player stance , sound output level, and Ai line of sight. The easiest way to explain this in game terms. Is to suggest if trying to sneak up on an idle animal to get with in range. You literally have to sneak up on them as you would real animals. Just kneeling or going prone won't work if you're on a hillside facing them and well within their direct line of sight . Use cover and hill crests . Imagine an invisible ring around each animal which is their detection radius . Your stance and noise level can reduce this radius to a point. Clothing and camo seems to have no effect on this yet . But you can cut closer by using small hills and cresting over them to take your shots. Trial and error will teach you each animal's acceptable range. *This info does not include or consider when animals bug out, freeze, or get stuck on objects.

where did you get this screen shot ?

would be nice if server owners could set a filter , that blocked people with x amount or more kills from entering server , for example . and of course the opposite as well. need X amount of kills to join this pvp server ... type thing

All information above is correct Here is a little more info on fishing and trapping to help you out

Just saying .. you know , for zombies and stuff... This would be nice to have :)
