Window Licker

Wait, what? I ran about 10 mins into the deadzone at the edge of the map yesterday to see if there was terrain was there or it eventually vanished into nothing. All I found was more hills rolling as far as I could see... Does anyone know a good up to date large jpg style map of Chenarus with all the town names on Back to the topic at hand, seems the difficulty stems from no-one having any idea where to go, telling people to follow roads to the next town has only worked for one forum member who actually took our advice. The spawn point's are fine as is, it's the players who are causing the issues, personally back when everyone would kill themselves if they didn't spawn near electro I loved to stroll into Berezino and walk out the post-apocalyptic equivalent of Donald Trump. I wouldn't bitch about Cherno being empty, I'd tell everyone it's a sniper filled, bandit ridden, spawn slaying death trap.

If you make them sit down (F3) the animation for getting back up takes a while, it's a good in between if hand cuffs are unavailable.

If your going rocky with a zombie, aim for the head it's glitchy so lift your aim until your missing then lower it a little. A few good hits to the head will knock them down, don't stop, get as many free hit's in as you can, again aiming for the head, if they fall on their front they will get back up, on their back and they are done. Add a little bit of circle strafing and taking on a Z bare knuckle becomes fairly easy. Now I can usually take one on without getting hit. WARNING: Fighting will attract other Z's if it turn's into a 3 or more fight GTFO if your unsure lure the Z away from town a bit. I used to fight at least one Z hand to hand or with a basic weapon (not an axe) usually 3-4 every respawn under the reasoning that if there's Z's then there is loot, Final tip, don't drop your shirt to make rags move it into your pants there's nothing fun about bleeding out while waiting for it to appear on the ground.

Thanks, good to know now I know what I lost last night when a server wouldn't let me join and reset my char lol alpha!

I didn't think the compensator increased accuracy, irl they are to reduce kick which makes it faster to line up the second shot.

I don't have a lot to say about the AI, I mean they can go upstairs but you have to be standing at the top with them at the bottom for that to work properly. I'm just glad for the slowly increasing amounts, The other day I decided to practice my shooting and it ended up with me getting mobbed. My wish is that they would fix the whole stand there like an idiot when changing weapons but WTF right? it's alpha.

Considering that shows them spawning in the tents and the single door tents plus a few other places that don't spawn loot then I'd consider it to be relatively inaccurate or at least to be taken with a grain of salt.

I'm sure the dev's have it on their very long list of things to do, while I understand that the lag is frustrating (had this happen to me as well) It's still alpha and as such has bug/glitches up the ass, I'm sure if you look in the bug tracker http://feedback.dayzgame.com/my_view_page.php you will be able to find this issue and upvote it.

Or just a timed explosive, that when you think your gonna die activate it, but by christ if you survive you'd better remember to switch it back off.

Long and short, they can say that all they want but to actually enforce is a breech of the rules I bleieve and the server can be closed without any refund

Hey was playing a bit today and have found a couple 1. while cuffed I was able to use bandages to prevent bleeding http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=7550 2. when the D-bags left I broke out of the cuffs but was unable to do anything as I was stuck in the cuffed position, workaround r-log http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=5221 3. Does anyone else get this annoying popup about some beret not loading? http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=7546 If you've never met the feedback tracker before this is how you get the game fixed. So when you do come and post a new bug be sure to include a link to the feedback tracker so people who have the same issue can upvote, this helps them find what issues there are and how widespread they are. Service guarantees citizenship,

Maybe some leather jackets wouldn't hurt if it's good enough for reducing bleeding when travelling at 100 kph on the road I'm sure that it would make it harder for the Z's to get thru.

Not sure but I've come across a couple, I think in larger towns with the medium to large sized buildings

Yes I'm sure all the soldiers would just put down their guns at the airfield and then try to evac, besides the point I think that you feel this is designed as a shooter when it's more of a survival game, give me a knife and 25 mins in the woods and I'll have my spear, add a piece of string or rope and I'll make it a throwing spear. Sure not the greatest weapons but something is better then nothing.

actually just keep the rags 1 bandage=4 bleedings 1 stack(6) rags = 6 bleedings Edit: Better clothing will protect you more so check the quality of your stuff before leaving that pristine shirt behind

Welcome, First off I'm going to say DON'T BUY this game, second the reason it's listed as "Ongoing" is because that's exactly what's happening, the more Z's they have the more strain it places on the server, as they work on the game and increase server performance more Z's get added. For example there is more Z's in game now, then before the patch they also added 3-4 new types and made it so they path upstairs. My suggestion don't worry about keeping up to date with patch note's and the like just keep visiting you friend hanging out and seeing for yourself how many zombies are in game. edit: No-one can tell you when the right amount of zombies have been added for your liking because that's your personal preference, also they may find something that allows them to add thousands in the next update or hit a snag that mean's none get added for a couple of patches, I believe they will add them in slowly so they don't lag-out and crash servers

Yeah I hate when that happens. Loot's been "nerfed" weapons are more spread out then before, but if you ever find an M4 there is still a decent amount of ammo around. I played a bit last night teamed up with a random survivor I found, He had a shotgun and I had a Mosin from fresh, just played about an hour and a bit found another Mosin & shotgun plus a magnum and FNX45 No clip tho. I will say that I believe this is deans fix to server hopping, did see a single building looted when I had to wade thru a bunch of Z's to get there so maybe on a much smaller scale or it just isn't as rewarding considering the risk of having you char wiped.

Bean's for the server hopping kill, and it's the airfield, ALWAY'S KoS at the airfields.

Settle in folks, it's story time, As a fresh bright eyed spawn I ran to the construction site to the south of Benezino, nothing, I came down and there was a guy with an M4 he say hey come with me I know where there's a Mosin in the construction site, I followed him all bright eyed and trusting. Now there where certain things he was saying that kept setting off alarm bell's in my head phrases if you will. They sounded familiar like I'd heard them somewhere before, It may surprise some of you but I didn't get shot in this encounter, no I got axed in the back. I respawned, on the coast with pretty much the same stuff I had when I died, but then it hit me. I'd heard those phrases before watching North Wood's Law when the officer caught a bunch of teens smoking pot and they thought they could lie/deny their way out of if. Be wary of anyone who feels the need to convince you they are telling the truth aka shoot/stab/axe them or ditch them asap. Shouting friendly is pretty much a good way of saying I'm unarmed/poorly armed so kill me if you want, I've found Hello work's much better. Also not straight away but early in the interaction give them your name like "oh yeah I'm Jason (Bates)." they will feel obligated to tell you theirs thus forming a small connection and a bit more trust. Finally, when I meet people I talk a little, tell them my plan where I'm going, that town is looted out, water over there, that kind of helpful information. If you have a plan people will follow and they are much more reluctant to kill the person who knows where they are going. Even if you don't group I've found they are more inclined to leave me be.

TBH I'd shoot you too, I'm guessing you didn't know they where in there, therefore didn't try to communicate before ending up in the same room. There was little chance to assess the situation as a small delay might have been enough for you to close the gap and K.O one of them in term's of that it was their only chance of a clear shot before friendly fire would become an issue. shit happens

If your having gun problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 rounds, I'm chamber'n one.

I saw someone mention WarZ/I:SS so being that I have played it I feel like I'm overly entitled to give my opinion, WarZ: I want my $8 and 2 hours of my life back.... DayZ: keep my $30 and 94 hours of my life. Edit: I played WarZ first, and that put me off buying DayZ for a while.

Currently your blood type changes each time you get a fresh spawn. there is an unconfirmed bug (as far as I know) that sometimes your blood type will change on the same character.

He's doing the mature thing by realizing that he's not prepared for doing this and is instead going to leave the game for a while. Some people here have instead clogged the forums with repeated posts on the same topic or the immature option.

wow you do the mature thing and people come out to troll you, say's alot. I don't think the server bug will be around for too long but enjoy the whatever you do while I run a tread mill of re-gearing characters.
