Good to see you didn't combat log when you were stuck in the top of the building...would say it's pretty funny that your mate was bitching about KoS when at the start of the video you guys sprayed up that guy who was behind you and didn't shoot you :P

What do you have your video memory set to in game? Anything other than auto (Default in ArmA 2) will cap it at the set level. Make sure you have either auto of default set instead of the others.

Not in to this type of play but good aim!

I'd defo buy a headset and mic even for playing alone for 2 reasons: The split second where you are typing "Friendly" to another player is likely to get you killed!!! Much easier to just shout it! Situational awareness...much easier to hear where you are being shot at from through a decent headset! Welcome to the game :)

If you listen to Rocket's streams they already have these features made (Pretty much exactly as you have described) and are waiting to release them in a patch.

Most of these suggestions are really good and you get beans for them :) Not a fan of the logout timer increasing for killing people though. Killing people shouldn't be punished at all, it's part of the game!

I've had this a few times (Randomly shooting forwards/through walls etc)...think it's just a bug atm...gutted it was your first char! Don't worry though, gear is easy enough to come by :)

http://dayzdb.com/guide/11-standalone-status-effects This link helped me quite a bit when getting ill etc. Basically got what you need to know about the health system and all the little indicators you get. Metagaming using it but without it I found it hard to know what to do/use!

I think charcoal tablets slow poison/sickness by the looks of their description. Vitamin bottles help cure sickness from what I've read so keep eating them when you are sick as well as food/drink. Should help :)

They never said they were starting from scratch. They have edited the ArmA 2 engine to better fit DayZ and added a load of extra features (and will continue to add more). At no point did Rocket say that they were going to remake the entire engine!

1. You can clean your wounds with alcohol tincture, which helps to stop you get infected. Not sure of any other way to get rid of the sick thing. I think eating lots of fresh fruit and drinking lots of water helps too. 2. Don't think they've actually added these parts in to the game yet as they haven't added the cooking/gathering part in. 3. You need to get blood from another player for the blood bag. You need to use a test kit on it and yourself to see if you are compatible I think, not quite sure how that works because I've not bothered with one. Blood bags only give 2000 blood in the SA though. Saline IVs take you back to full health so are much better :) Hope this helps a little

Trusting someone in Cherno....that was your big mistake right there!

Think that would be a bit unfair though because shots can only be heard from a couple of hundred metres away in game and sometimes the sound is a bit buggy! Will probably be similar to the old system. I think I saw somewhere that they were putting in something like the timeout thing on WoW. Your body will hang about in game for 30 seconds or so even if you alt - F4

I'm guessing it'll be after NYE now...Not good enough...I paid £20 for this game and demand a new patch! Joke :) Devs have been working their ass off and deserve a break!

I think that when you leave a server (Not on restart) you should be locked out of it for say 20 minutes (Only from that server). Would defo remove the point of this sort of behaviour...not sure how easy to implement it would be though.

Really good beginner's guide to DayZ dude, will help a lot of people :)

I had this, think the colour thing is a bug...even though at full blood etc. Fixed it by getting a friend to give me a saline IV...worked in seconds :)

Rocket has said they are looking to have multiple hives/databases eventually...so this will be possible, just not yet :)

Laughing hard from this :)

This...if it happened in both the mod and the SA it's possibly your connection. I've not had this problem at all

Without bandits DayZ would be boring as s***...especially in it's current state where zombies are no threat at all

I agree with OP...I play this game for the intense feeling of seeing another player (Not new spawn...only armed players) and getting into a gun fight! Being a bandit is fun and without bandits this game would be pretty boring. People like that play style but a lot of others don't. Neither side should be punished, it's just how the game works!

Uhhhh I think on Steam you can get your money back for any game for a certain time. Then just buy the standalone?

Myself and a friend both had the constant grey screen thing...think it's something to do with the colours not resetting after getting damaged because I ran around for about 6 hours and munched all food I found with grey screen! Still grey now! Saw somewhere in the steam community that a Saline IV will fix it and tried it on my friend, which seemed to work! Just looking for another IV for me now! Pretty sure it's just a bug though. As for the rest it just sounds like heavy desync possibly?

Rocket has talked about console releases. Pretty sure I've read that it won't be until after the full release of the game on PC...so not for at least a year yet!
