Your probably gonna die lots :P part of the job, but finding a team will help loads. As a dayz medic my self I have my own set up: Bright Clothes and no military helm. Don't make it look like your hiding , but still try to hide :P This way, if you are spotted, not being in camo may make people think twice before killing you (Based on my bobble hat mission) Also I try to ware a respirator mask when I find one, but don't know how wise that it. I do it for the looks I ware no guns on my back and keep my axe in my backpack, hoping I look more friendly. Keep a pistol and 2 clips if you can. You may not wanna use them but if your a medic in a team, falling over dead wont help them. Also dying to be nice isn't a good ethic, cus then you cant help anyone. Medic packs are good but yellow boxes are better. You only need so many pills and potions Try to have vitamins Bandage x5 (always on a hotkey) Sticks for splints (dont pre make them) Charcoal is important as well, but one pack over 50% will do haven't seen pain killer tablets to be affective, Morphine also as a medic, it good to have water and food, to get people healthy, so their blood will regen. I find this easier than blood bag/Blood tests. So with the yellow boxes, you can put a mix of medical, water and food in each. Making survival packs.

some crazy running and checking for other players, safety! Made a video as I finally got shadow play to work with my DayZ: here's how I did it - open game in full mode with no shadow play on. - Then set it to window mode and exit. - Then turned on shadow play and booted up dayZ in windowed mode (no shadow play icon at this time) - Then switch back into full mode (Did not reset Dazy) and shadow play icon was showing.

if defib could revive i think there would need to be some limits: - Must revive withing short time of dead. - The head shot thing. - Player is revived concussions . - Must be given fluid and blood fast. Maybe adrenalin (i'm not doctor). - Player cant walk for a set time and/or can't use weapons and tools (Some sort of recovery time)

But when i sleep in RL, if someone was to hit me, i would wake up. If i heard someone near, i would probably wake up. Dont think its piratical or needed

I thought about this idea a while back and saw why its not wise. Having only one direction of items restricts what can go into clothes. I notice this when i was testing the game without using a backpack. I could not put a wrench into my tactical jacket as i could not rotate it. This seems reasonable as its simulates compartments within the jacket. Cant remember off the top of my head, but i think if you could rotate a slitting axe, it would fit in a tactical jacket.

You make me smile :)

A death and loosing all my stuff sets me free! no more panic about looking after my loot.

small hammer + pliers + spring + cow skull part + ruined clip = Worn clip or somthing like that i hope

I hope DayZ will become something special. It's been so long since I have played a game that's is interesting and new. An example is 'EA'. I loved sim city and the sims. Out came 'Sim city societies' (was so much hype) for 40 pound and I bought it >< Played it for 2 hours and was so disappointed (was a simplified version of the game type with new graphics). Also used to play need for speed, but felt it was the same stuff churned out again and again. Along with other issues the faceless company had (and a dispute I won after some effort), I felt it was time to stop buying their game (also hear the latest sim city had its problems). I see so many games that are just clones of other game and haven't felt the need or want to buy all but a very few games made today (Diablo 3 was another hyped fail). May Elder scroll games cuss of its Modder (excluding ESO) and civilisation games. Also do think they need to speed up things now (and before someone like 'EA' publish a cheap hyped version that kills the interest of this type of game). Don't know how, and progress is reasonable (imo), but as motioned above another company could just move in on the ideas and beat Dazy to the punch, now that the community has show its interest in the Dazy concept.

was going to say that. Sometime i forget there is a game pad plugged in and the stick is resting against something, slowly moving things.

i like this idea, wanted to post about it my self but wasn't sure how too explain it, video shows it. Being able to play in 3pp without the exploit view is good for taking photos. Can't include your player in scene with its 1st person only. Also 3pp changes the atmosphere of the game, from being the player, to watching the player. its nice to have the choice. no reason not to have this as option Scratch that last line! Will get some silly replies unless i explain that statement in detail, and i just to lazy lol

Don't think it will effect KOSing, but may reduce player hunting (people just looking to kill others for fun). I have met a mix of people who want interaction and others that KOS as a survival skill. All you can do is stick to your style of preferred game-play and not change it because you get back-stabbed or KOSed. Assume everyone may KOS you and prepare for it and take control of the situation and hope you can stop a gunfight. why the foulness.. You can make a point without trash talk and kinnda calling all random players on the coast 'dickless shitwhiskers' Please read: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153786-forum-rules-roles-and-guidelines/ 9) Unnecessary posts: Posting "don't care" or "so what" or any posts along those lines are unnecessary, inflammatory, and do not add to the discussion.

That sounds like one fun party :P

I want to see more of the woodlouse at 0:52, he's got some moves!

This is a 'I hope they add' thread :) I don't like shooting player and if I have to (when in my group) I not good at it, so weapons aren't my thing but there is no other point for the space taken by your main weapon. And when solo, I feel the weapon makes me look more aggressive than I am. I wish there was something else that could be put in that spot, maybe splint pack or something. Yes I know this wont stop me getting KOSed and people may kill me for my medical supplies, but at least its not because they thing I'm going to shoot them and I may be more productive as a team member. Also, if they add skills, a practiced medic my be worth more to a bandit or offensive team alive, as they may be more skilled. So more chance of being forced to help someone instead of just being shot (if don't have a weapon on my back) Would also like to see some medical clothing, hats and bags. Yes I know others will use these to trick people, but in a team, it may help co-ordinate. Interested to see what people think.

DayZ supermodel

do you do a live feed, i like the chatter. Also a bright raincoat and a bobble hat can sometimes offer more protection that a ballistic helm and a gun (look less of a threat) And you lost your DayZ virginity :P

How many zombies can you get to follow you in current version. seems when i get to 5, others stop following me. i know there are 6 in image, have had 8 in one place, but only 5 seem to follow at one time

ahh. so that they don't all follow one player? (think that was an issue in the mod)

feels good when you can teach an ass a lesson :P

...and now we have pant bandits :P if only he had told you to take them off :P

short story. I had an M4, and I don't use rifles, so left it out of someone I met (a free gift, from the last protective attack with my fist, so it was undamaged). they tried to kill me with a crowbar before taking the M4, but I gave them a second gift of 15 pistol rounds :P Also, references to that moive are lost on me, only seen the original ones lol

6) The tinfoil bobble hat comes off Dint want to post this under my 'mission bobble hat' as it may spark replies that don't belong in bobble hat. !This report/test/Journal is a little long, don't post unless you gunna read! Added (to make more scene i hope) { Testing the KOS game play style } I decide to take off the hat and let the voices in, 'kill! Kill! Kill! within reasonable parameters", My daemon have some morals lol. So the rules where as followed: - 3PP:off servers only - No server hoping for loot. - No Lying two faced-ness (e.g Saying your friendly, waiting for them to drop their guard, then killing them. This is not KOS, I will let you decide what to call that sort of person :P ) - No attacking unarmed players. (sure, people say they need to be killed as they will be come a threat, but have some balls! Give them a chance to become a threat, then kill them) - No camping and sniping (just to dull for me to do) Really had no idea what to expect as I never had KOS before. Not to be confused with killing, like when under attack or after someone takes out a friend. But I thought it was time I saw this style of game play for my self. I would class my actions as 'Survival KOSer' as I'm not looking for a fight, but will kill armed people if I have a chance, for my own safety. Apologies to anyone attacked in this test. And it begins :- KOS attempt 1, F- Axe vs F-Axe, me with no helm, them with a helm, but I get first it in. After some crazy runny around each player getting some hits in, they got the final blow and killed me. Not so easy with an Axe, maybe I need head protection, maybe I need skills. *(lasted about 1 hour in total for that life) *( fair fight equipment wise) So, looted my self some KOS skills, aka a gun, and set off again. Took a rest in a room, and BAM! KOS count one... guns! Skills (pistol only, person had logged in next to me (they weren't camping loot), gave them a second, then KOS- What an assy thing to do) Satisfaction at zero :( I just killed someone that didn't know it was coming, and probably spoiled their day. Maybe the next KOS would give me a 'high'? After all, if I didn't KOS them, they would have killed me, they blocked the only exit to the room and had a gun (Such pitiful excuses from me) ---Bit of a side topic ---- Zzz. The mission continues. There was a really tense moment when someone tried to snipe me in electro, so I ran to the hospital with my pistol and waited for them to come... and noting. So I ran out of the hospital (10 mins later), and gunfire rang again (m4) so I ran into the church and, waited Zzzz (15mins). So then I just left the church, running in crazy ways with bullets shooting at me from somewhere. Think there where 2 shooters, an M4 and a mosin. All shot missed, so I waited in a big metal shed, and guess what... Nothing! I know if I had kill them, it would not be KOS, but really, they afraid of me with my little pistol :P --------------- 5 hours later and no more armed people met(who weren't snipe hiding, no bambi KOSed - rules :P). KOS mission over for now. So the conclusion; Base on KOSing within the rules of this test, 'Survival KOSer' are of little worry as they are not camping out for kills, nor killing pointless targets. I saw very few people while just looting and surviving, and ready to kill threats on site. So I feel KOS is used wrongly atm, too in compass all the killers. Camper killers/sniper: They don't KOS, they wait for a kill, like spider (but kos=kill on sight, and that what they do... < shut up :P) People running around for a fight: They aren't KOS, they are hunting people. They will probably not kill you on site, but check you out, get the advantage, then kill you.. Kind of like above. Con artists: They will befriend you , gain your trust, then kill you. Worst of the worst, and so not KOS. Just a note ' KOS attempt 1' would have been to easy if I had a gun. Not sure if I will run another KOS test, its really not for me, and missed the chance of friendly interaction.

No rush-fun-feeling, after a kill. It was panic to get safe and clear in case I was seen. Then I felt like I had spoiled someone game, who dint know it was coming. Have killed before (in game, i'm not that crazy), but always after they attack first. Rather be shot for taking a risk at communication than kill on site. Just what makes me more happy :) and if they attack first and I kill them for it, then I feel satisfaction

:TY, GOD beans !!!! hope is cus you liked the post a little too. I know I learnt a bit doing it. *runs off to eat them right way*
