lol The cool thing is in dayz you can make whatever decisions you want... The difference between this game though and real life is that in the game the person you murdered is going to be alive again soon... In real life they are dead forever...

the friendliest players are the ones without weapons =p If you see someone fully geared and ready for combat just shoot them when you can unless you are really confident in your combat skills... If you see an unarmed player have fun with them but let them live... Seriously... =p

In my experiences, the word "Friendly" in the Dayz SA can really mean anything... The lingo doesn't matter anymore... Being able to be well enough equipped and experienced enough to protect yourself in the game is more important. When me and my friends are roaming dayz fully geared we consider ourselves to be quite a "Friendly" bunch... We may stop a survivor and use them for our experiments to see what a certain liquid in a certain syringe really does to a person... Or we may use them for a few bloods bags but we always have extra gear to give to the survivors that participate in our experiments and such. I personally enjoy giving away that extra vest or pristine combat boots i found last time i was in the airfield... The only person we killed outright was a man we ambushed on a highway we asked him several times to surrender and lay down he ignored our demands so we wasted him. In this game it's hard to let that fully armed man pass by you when you know it may be that same person to shoot you in the back 15 or 20 minutes from now... I think this is a game in which killing is expected it's the tactics used to come out on top that are in question... I never ever say hey we are friendly... If i plan to take a prisoner for our own agenda. I simply say stop and surrender we won't kill you if you comply... We then explain to them what we plan to use them for and then we either handcuff them and do what we want or we shoot them while they run away... When you take control of a situation and the prisoner is no longer a threat shooting them in the face after telling them you are friendly or that you wont shoot them is quite ridiculous and low even for a game...

There are not helicopter crashes in the SA and there will never be scripted events in the servers according to rocket. The only heli crashes i would be expecting in the dayz standalone is player caused crashes. There is of course crashed vehicles, Including helicopters, throughout the map in which loot may spawn... This is not a scripted event it's simply just part of the map and is nothing significant. If you want good loot in the SA go to the military bases, fire stations, and hospitals upon fresh restarts of the servers.

In the mod yes it is very possible to retrieve your body just remember it only stays until it's hidden or the server restarts... In the standalone it seems like the body disappears when you click respawn... So if you want to get your things off your corpse have a friend get the things before respawning. You can drag unconscious players but not bodies of dead players...

Rocket never stated that the game is currently worth $30.00 matter of fact i saw a post that had rocket's response on it himself... When asked is the game currently worth it? Rocket's opinion??? They deserve a holiday I think we all are excited to see them return though 2014 is going to be a great year for DayZ and Rocket's dev team.

I think i can help... Ill message you my steam user and walk you through troubleshooting... EDIT: Something you can attempt before reaching out to me is to underclock your gpu bout 40mhz... This is a simple solution to many gpu black screen issues... Give it a try and let me know how it goes

I love how humble you are Rocket keep it up you have set the bar high and I am excited to see the progress now that the alpha has been released. I have put some time into the game now and can easily say that I am having experiences that make me feel the way dayz mod did originally... With this being said i don't have to worry about a script user running by me with rainbow smoke shooting out of his butt or the whole server being spawned in one location and being killed... Keep it up cannot wait until I am flying a helicopter around chernarus.

Then find yourself a vest and keep the compass in your vest readily... lol... If you are saying this is too inconvenient then just put the compass on your hot bar and press a button to see the compass if you are too lazy to do that then i suggest playing call of duty or bf4... I respect your argument, but I am left confused after reading it because you seem to favor realistic gameplay, on the other hand it seems like you would rather have a hud... I think rocket has done great things by making you respect the fact that your character only has two hands and two eyeballs... Being able to simplify the hud down to the sole character and inventory is something many games have attempted but i think dayz alpha has done it best thus far...

I just make sure to be at a military loot area when the server refreshes. Everytime the server refreshes so does all the loot and zombies... If you are first into the barrack you are able to get first pickins... Just watchout because everybody else is thinking the same thing =p Just be aware of your surroundings and if in doubt sprint and zig zag... hehe EDIT: I just realized this question may be for the mod not the alpha my mistake... The loot and the zombies respawn in the dayz mod for arma 2 OA whenever all of the loot is gone from the inside of the building... The Zombies spawn whenever players enter the location i believe it's 300 meters allthough i may be wrong. Do to this all you must do in the mod is completely empty the barracks leave for 15 minutes or so and return to the barracks if done correctly new fresh loot will spawn...

No problem good luck... Did you find your m8?

Hey everyone, The Bean Man here... I was roaming chernarus with some friends last night when we stumbled into Novy Sobor, and what do we see? A large group of zombies chasing an unarmed man with a white shirt on... So what do we do being the good samaratins we are... We killed those damn zombies and helped that poor man out... Since we saved his life we decided he could donate some blood to our cause right? " Lay Down And we will let you live... " He hesitates then he complys with our demands... We handcuff him and withdrew four liters of blood from him... He didn't even complain so I decided to drop a black tactical vest for him along with some food, drinks, and bandages. We unhandcuffed him and allowed him to gather the gear he thanked us and we moved on... Too bad his blood type wasn't compatible with my friend =p Now my friend has blood poisoning =p Loving the standalone!!!

I understand this topic is a bit of a joke at the moment since we all agree about the SA, but hey i figured everyone gave their opinion why not let the bean man give his right? Anyways. I would say the Standalone, which is in alpha stage of course, Has more features than the dayzmod... I mean it all depends how you sum the features up but even without the vehicle features and the base building features (tents, sandbags, etc) There is the in depth medical system which has somewhere around 20+ features compared to the previous medical system that had what 7 maybe? The cooking and Hunting system that will be comming out already seems to have more features with the new portable cooking stoves, pots, and the various craft items/recipes help to make up for it as well. I think why not buy the SA and since rocket is giving the mod away now you can play both while updates are released... So that's the bean man's opinions... Please disagree with me so this post gets more interesting =D -Love ya guys- -BYE

Here's some navigational tips. 1. If you are on the coast near the coastal highway note which side of that highway the railroad tracks are located. If the railroad tracks are on the north side of the highway chances are you are east of the cities cherno and electro. If the railroad tracks are on the south side of the highway then you are likely west of those two large cities. If the railroad tracks are on the north side of the road and then swerve to the south side of the road then you are between cherno and electro. 2. You can read signs in game and use the dayzdb maps to reference the russian name to the english name. The dayz database maps always have both the russian and english names on each town and city. http://dayzdb.com/ CHERNARUS+ DAYZDB MAP http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#5.054.059 3. You can reference the dayz standalone map whilst in game using an auxillary screen, A laptop, or some other internet device. Dayzdb standalone map = AWESOME... Here it is: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#5.054.059 Wiki hi-res standalone map... http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dayz.gamepedia.com/8/8a/chernarusplus.jpg Also reference this page for map information: http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Chernarus 4. Landmarks!!! After you gain more experience in dayz you will find yourself looking at roadways, hills, barns, etc for guidance of where you are. There are various landmarks that are much more obvious though such as the large spire that emits from green mountain that can be seen from miles away on a clear day. 5. Once you find yourself use the roads... They matchup with the map perfectly and it's quite hard to lose your direction on a roadway... Just make sure you are not directly running down the road people may find you an easy target. Stay in the brush, hills, treeline near the road when following it. I hope these tips help you a little. In dayz there aren't many times you will have the whole map + Compass so you can rely on tools out of game and your knowledge/experience to find your way it is quite easy once you get the hang of things. =p Welp enjoy and have fun. If you can't manage to find your friend let me know maybe i can come in the game and lead ya to em.
