What energy would you use to power your generator if "the world ever comes to an end"? steam? = ( petrol ? or coal? or wood fire ? ) - or a water wheel? - or windmills? - or slaves? - molten salt and solar mirrors ? - nuclear ?

Look at each server population - choose a server that has any moderate to high pop = that will be daylight Enjoy try the PS4 New Player Discussion section for help

- so how come you aint CEO of BI ? How did that mistake happen ?

If you leave a car part on the ground why would it not despawn ?

she's tired of your shit ? thanx

waterproof mechanical that has hands on it not a digital readout = obviously =

OK - prototypes of real cars with real spark plugs sorry I spoke

shoe sizes are all the same too.. amazing when you find a pair of boots in an abandoned military camp and they ALWAYS fit you ain't it ?

a couple of weeks ago but we got lazy pîty might have helped BI a LITTLE BIT "a couple of weeks ago" & could have saved plenty of forum shouting about locked servers , for instance

you don't crunch your beanz ? - wow it's the only way to get total nourishment from food I eat mine the exact same way as I eat raw steaks I don't ever use a spoon

If you were an Ace Top-Sergeant Ranger and you had IRL super years-of-combat-tuned hearing - you could hear someone reloading upstairs when you were on the stairs or downstairs (and you wouldn't be making local noises when you heard them).. in DayZ you just have headphones, nothing REALLY special about your " Special Forces years of experience aural survival skill ".. not even a tingle in the neck when you hear a twig gently break under a soft shoe 20 m away <damn!> .. or < so distinctive!! > a blackbird warning cry startled out of a thicket 30m across that clearing?? NOPE = just a pair of cheap headphones, one set of player-action-sounds, and some background random scatter ambiance effects - same for everyone .. Now HOW is an Ace DayZ Survivor going to make Life-And-Death SENSE of that audio environment? WELL .. the audio is fixed that you CAN hear someone reloading upstairs when you are on the stairs or downstairs.. take a mate and check HOW FAR AWAY you can hear each other eating, or running (or walking in stealth mode .. what us DayZ plebs call "crouch") ... Also notice that EVERYTHING you do sounds LOUD in 1PP because its CLOSE to your EARS.. put yourself in 3PP and everything sounds strangely further away (because your viewpoint is Further Away!) .. Put yourself 10 meters or 11 yards away from another player and check how loud or how noticeable each other's actions sound. IF you can hear each other's actions. Would you hear them if you were running by (making your own noise)? Do you hear them when you are stealthing or crawling? Seriously, try it out with a friend.. When you are silent, what distance in DayZ can YOU hear someone else reloading on flat open ground ?

this is not the case you joined this forum 16 hours ago - But if want to, you can read everything that has been said by all the forum members, the moderators and the devs, going back to 2012 It's all right here if you want to look this is a good forum to look around, and look INTO, instead of just asking someone to do it for you .. people will ALSO help if your questions are interesting, or because they like to help a first-timer.. there is a tradition of being NOT unfriendly - but it's good to spend some time finding out what has been said before you say it again.. maybe ? There is even a NEW PLAYER'S section for new players who want to swap first impressions or ask first-week questions Since 2012 .. there has been MASSIVELY [MEGA] "plenty" of communication and discussion on VERY many subjects and topics - take the time to browse around. Bet you cant find anything you can think of that that has not already a thread or ten threads on it. Input on one idea or theme often run to 800 or 1500 comments if you search back. ( I kind of read first, speak later? ) you will find fresh new threads less than a handful of days old on each of the subjects you mention : AKs, dupers, devs, hoppers, loot, locked servers, & KOS .. ( also xbox "day/night balance" is still trending right now, check it out). to tag someone in a post type @ and immediately (without a space) start typing their name - a drop down list appears under the @ as you type, the more of the name you type, the shorter the list gets.. when you see the player you want click on that name in the list - like this : @Beau Green xxP

DayZ forum has been pretty NON-Toxic since it started.. some backbiting, some irony, plenty of wit, some anger, arguments, plenty of suggestions and debate, some good jokes.. I was playing for a year or so before I came here to check on something, then hung around for the forum.. was an interesting place to hang out.. Don't know if it is an xbox thing, or a generation shift, or a general change in internet users, the rise of populism, or new user attitude (you tell me) .. but this forum seems GENERALLY more toxic than it has ever been at ANY time in the past.. Also forum members seem to have shorter attention spans? Different members start the SAME topic again under a new heading every week or ten days, instead of continuing the topic that already exists - this week's example is LENGTH OF DAY on XBOX... I could have SWORN ( I mean I BLOODY KNOW) - I read ALL that SAME STUFF at least three times in three different topics this month.. I guess its easier to start a topic (just to hear your own voice) than to check if anyone has already said anything - like, just shout your opinion and ignore what was said last week, don't JOIN an EXISTING debate.. so those topics never progress, natch.. there are plenty of them but folk don't seem to look or read. As if they often start just to sound off in headlines and exclamation marks, swap a couple of insults, and do it again tomorrow.. Maybe it's just radiation sickness from drinking too much milk. The forum is definitely much more BORING since last year. - lol IMO (like as if anyone cares)

..er .. what happens if someone blows your brain out with a shotgun ? - not much floating, I guess ? sniper headshot DEAD even before the sound of the bullet reaches your corpse = DayZ realism .. & does it depend what religion you are ?

it means <snigger> .. like "Mmmuahahahahahah" indicates <evil laugh> In my view the claim that commercial "aimbots" are currently in use in PC DayZ is amusing balderdash

try some of the hardcore or modded servers.. e.g. if you want meaner zombies or MORE Zombs.. you can find a server that specialists in that.. look at the PC Modded server ads and see what they offer. Some give you a starter kit, some want you to join the clan and cooperate, some are PvP freaks.. In un-modded servers, some are private hive = single character, so your char can only play on that one server - If you log in somewhere else you start on the beach again - but on that single character "private hive" server you know there won't be any server hopping, for sure.. OR you can keep the same char on Public hives and wander from one public hive "Official" server to another, always in the same skin and same kit on your back (like Xbox) ... If you do BOTH (because you can have several different characters) its a good idea to keep track of your tunes, note somewhere that THIS one plays on Modded server X.Y.Z.A (private hive, natch), and THIS Other character plays on any public hive server, and THIS one plays on "the Village" private hive un-modded Server .. etc .. if you have 2 or three its easy to mix them up.. (but no big panic) - if you log in to a Private Hive server you have played before, you will show up there in the same character you played there before, whichever of your "onscreen characters" you choose to log in with. - so you can try different servers and look at teh ads here on the forum, see what's on offer and what the play-style is - some servers have rules and a moderator.. whatever.. look around, Enjoy.

The Han Chinese, Hanzu, Han people. Chinese: 漢人; pinyin: Hànrén; literally: 'Han people' or 漢族, "Han ethnicity" or "Han ethnic group", are an East Asian ethnic group and nation native to China.They constitute the world's largest ethnic group, making up about 18% of the global population. The estimated 1.3 billion Han Chinese people are mostly concentrated in mainland China (about 92% of the total population) and in Taiwan (about 95% of that population). The Han Chinese people trace a common ancestry to the Huaxia, a name for the initial confederation of agricultural tribes living along the Yellow River. The term Huaxia represents the collective neolithic confederation of agricultural tribes Hua and Xia who settled along the Central Plains around the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in northern China. The two tribes were the ancestors of the modern Han Chinese people that gave birth to Chinese civilization. So the answer to your "since when?" is ROUGHLY around 12,000 years ago. - glad to be of service.

198.55.118.73 = United States : Texas : Dallas IP location finder (there are plenty) here's one : https://www.iplocation.net/ server hired from QuadraNet Enterprises LLC by some GSP .. research it from there.. D A R K have a message on Steam, : << D A R K [LRP] =- New Server | Fully Optimized | REALISM REIGNS. >> or go look at the online gaming lists ? - I'd do it, but I have friends over.. xxp

nail on the head, bro BUT also I'm a console player.. had lots of fun since they were INVENTED and MARKETED, specially lots of easy LAFFS (in fact) REAL lot of fun.. "not problem" like we say in the gulags - Kind of hoped that DayZ and similar UNUSUAL minority-appeal games would herald in an age where consoles began to become SERIOUS adult machines (there sure are enough ADULTS out there with consoles who would WELCOME complex stuff just as much as easy-to-pay plug in lols.. that's for sure.. = What's the AVERAGE AGE of a console owner now? OK, Go look it up). - although consoles ARE STILL marketed as easy to play join the club no hassle keep paying lol-shoot-kids/adolescent fun.. I thought maybe AROUND NOW consoles ARE growing out of the Disneyland pay-your-money-and-wave-at-the-mouse era and getting into some real stuff ( NOT for everyone, just for the folk who want it, whatever age they are, SOME folk do WANT that ).. And DayZ is a good example of a complex "adult" game; has been for a while and attracts interesting people .. NOT everybody.. because mass market MEANS average player (look it up, its under "marketing terminology") ... average=mass, mass=average .. So good minority games are a must on console, right? Otherwise consoles will never take over from PCs.. PCs will never die like the dinosaurs .. dang!! Microsoft will never own the world.. bloody individuals who WANT weird stuff will STILL find ways to get it.. but if there are ENOUGH of them on Console, then Console will GET it. Tencent Gaming (Tencent Holdings Limited, ya know?) will make sure of that. NO = I have ZERO Problem with Consoles. with just ONE proviso - I have a thing AGAINST Big megacorps who take your ROOT away from you I don't like that I really don't like that.. OK... my problem not yours. I think MOST folk (looking at the stats) don't know what I'm talking about. Plenty dont even know what ROOT is (sad, sad). But some do. So - back on TOPIC : Hi, @bent.toe you still didn't answer my question.. (guess you didn't notice?).. are you playing hard to get? xxp

I play DayZ PC on an Athlon 64 Dual core 6400+ at 3.21GHz with 8 gig ram & Radeon RX 480 - the internet link is twisted pair (telephone wire) about 8 km to the local exchange and a ping of 17-27 to the first dedicated ISP internet server. I play DayZ on pc servers regularly with a ping of 70-100 (between France and USA, for instance) .. with no in-game lag.. in fact I can play up to the limit where the server cuts me off for having ping too high. Ping 35 ping 75 makes NO difference to game reaction - played since the start, (so this is only MY personal view) .. used to lag and rubber-band, BI sorted that .. on PC now it doesn't .. just takes a second for my 3D to build when I log in .. maybe almost TWO seconds ? Then play.. Got the PC out of a bin buried under snow, put in a new chinese CPU and bought a PSU to run the GPU, & some second hand standard system memory off ebay. Ten years ago ? or maybe more? GPU must be a few years old now too .. don't even remember.. it's from a generation or two back.. PC is from the days when 2 cores weren't top-radical anymore (that's why the dude threw it out, I guess) I dried the snow out till the motherboard was desert standard: worked fine. I don't ever get lag or rubber-banding etc (sorry folks). Not my fault.. (sorry again).. it doesn't happen. Wire up with ethernet, never use wifi.. I put the games on a little SSD with the OS, dont use it for anything else.. make sure no one on your network is watching football or downloading or Youtubing or Skyping .. turn everything background OFF that you can (windows bloody updates and Adobe updates and Office background trash & email checks etc etc etc) tell your antivirus NOT to mess with websites or current files (DayZ has about a million of them, if your AV checks each one every time it opens or closes, you're screwed) If you're worried about that, run your full antivirus scan after you've played (like while you sleep, ya know?) Got a 5-core standing next to this PC but never bothered to move DayZ over to that. Totally never felt the need, so play all my games on this one on a mix (I choose) of moderate to high settings and I just use the 5-core for watching opera (good sound system ) - for the games PC I use headset. I set the GPU to 50fps (60 is too high) and turn the fans & box fans to max.. plenty of air blowing through the box. & it's a big box. Ive found often with other folk = laptop users = that overheating is what messes them up. Like at least 50% of laptop owners I've met use them regularly while they're in bed or it's resting on their knees. Until it stops and they ask me if I can fix it. Like, who wants a laptop unless you're a old-school traveling salesman or going camping ? When the other first class business suckers are "doing work" on their laptops I'm playing Pokemon on my classic Gameboy Color.. everlasting tech & makes great sounds in the delux rows. xxp

Sounds about right to me.. I'm generally 90% solo then sometimes I meet people, I don't usually team up but you get to know a few players through time.. Sometimes I get a wild hair and decide it's time to go into town and start a new life, ya know.. if things get too easy or nothing unexpected drops on you (BUT one of the things I LIKE about DayZ is unexpected stuff turns up really frequently, just when you thought you were going to have a quiet day looking for a good ..er.. SPADE (ya know?) .. , you find yourself in the middle of the most amazing stuff.. too countless to mention.. just never take it for granted, whatever it is.. ) So I hardly ever get around to doing my gangnam-kamikazi-style But then I think "what the hell" one day and go hang around inside the showers in a barracks on a mid pop server, without intending to leave - and see who turns up and who hops in (and they DO Turn Up for sure, usually in one of the end rooms, like second or third from the end, never right at the end, never in the showers.. like hamsters in a hamster playpen [eh he he suckers] ) or a super geared up team beams in outside somewhere and I HOLD them OFF - crazy b@stard no one EVER going to put handcuffs on me.. ya know.. get some DAMAGE out - or I go into town REALLY looking for trouble (kind of like the drunk gold-miner out of the hills) . End up on a beach, throw away the flare, go find a couple of stones make a flint knife, get some spare rags made into bandages.. THEN the starting up from there is HALF the MOST interesting part of the game.. pity about the hunting rifle but I shot two of those dudes (got one THROUGH the door) , and pity about the shotgun but I killed that other guy and gave him a couple of point blank rounds after, before they killed me, so his gear ain't going to be worth much to his mates.. and seeing as the others started shooting from 2 directions at once I'll bet they didn't pick up much useful stuff of my body either (even if they wanted it) .. so that's ok. But I only do that occasionally (wild-hair hill-billy syndrome) . Usually I'm doing the same stuff as you seem to be doing.. stay cool, plan, move, explore, stay alert, Hell, I sit down and cook my steaks over a fire even though you don't right now get sick from eating raw meat.. a few cooked steaks keeps you from going hungry for a long time.. Last week I hiked up from the SW corner straight compass line across the map to Berezino to look at the tank monument because it's a long time since I've seen that damned tank. I LIKE it. Used to have all kinds of action between the tank monument and the hospital, before the town kind of grew up around it and spread out (since way back I've spent a lot of time on that hospital roof for one reason or another) .. and Hey, found a NEW police station - never been in there before!.. found a couple of cans and a splitting axe in a shed and headed out West into the "west midlands" south of the North Road, just to see what was happening out there .. I'm mainly kind of scouting, backwoods, hunt, stay off the roads (or maybe just 30 yards off the road), stealth in towns and villages, and if you're going to shoot someone, shoot them before they know you're there. Barrel or box makes a good stash somewhere - might need it might not - might go back to it might never go back. Bit by bit all the extra stuff that was in game around the 0.62 version will come back into DayZ on Xbox and on PC .. that's fine.. The more alternatives and crafting there is the more the play-styles spread out and get different.. (last time I remember, trying to hunt deer with a bow and arrow is a total pisser, BUT I worked out a way to trick and trap wild pigs against a fallen tree and kill them with an axe... works one time out of five or so.. maybe one time out of .. ten.. ??.. know a player who goes solo hunting wolves, that's her kick [ mean bad girl ] .. ) I wear a soft hat but I KNOW a helmet protects the head better. I don't like the look, I guess? - There's PLENTY of space - play how you feel, that's what DayZ is for - IMO. The only thing I actually MISS - and hasn't been in the game at all since the SA, is being able to KEEP an empty can or throw it away. (if you drop it someone might notice you've been around recently) If you kept an empty can you could make a stick fire and boil water in it.. kind of total HOBO basic thing. Long time ago they decided to take that out of the game - REAL PITY IMO - And then we went through at time when there were plenty of mil weapons but ammo was real SCARCE (lots of folk complained) .. went through a time of lots of gun jams and you had to sort ammo you found for damaged rounds.. going through a time now you can find ammo but mil rifles are scarce (listen to the complaints).. For me that don't make any difference, for ME it will be nice to get back to a game where ANTIBIOTICS can save your life.. but .. if you're SURVIVING in DayZ you do what you like ANY WAY you like - and you USE what's THERE.. no point in trying to use what's NOT there.. I'd PERSONALLY like an empty CAN to boil my water but their AINT ANY... so watch me throw a tantrum about it and shout for my money back : .. What the EFFFFFfff is WRONG with you, cant you DEVES program an EMPTY TIN CAN FOR eFFFFs SAke jeeez wept begggration sheeeet crap babblle FOAM AT MOUTH !!! .. WHERES MY EMPTY TIN CAN YOU BASTARDS !!!!! xxp Enjoy p.s. - BEANZ

Did you ever - ever - hear Max Planck suggest that he WANTS to recover? .. folk often make this deadly mistake. I guess you never saw the Hannibal Lecter films ??

I'm a player who's played DayZ since it started. After a year or so of playing DayZ I joined this forum. I've seen the forum change and seen DayZ change. Ive played DayZ all night - come home in my work clothes, played the game till sunrise, had breakfast, gone back to work.. Ive gone weeks without logging in.. Got a Xbox to check it out, because my work involoves that kind of stuff. Played DayZ on Xbox, played DayZ on PC. Played the Mod.. in fact bought ArmA so I could play the Mod. Have both versions of SA. So I've seen the changes from pup tents and broken legs through bicycles and quads to forts and server crashes and threads like this. Met some interesting folk on these forums. But you know all this stuff because you've read back in the forum and seen who I am - I've read your comments , of course - you don't have to ask me who I am, you know I'm a guy passing by in the street. . . Easier to make a meaningless comment than to answer a question - right? See - if there are no levels in a game you cant grind to get to any level .. if you decide in your head you HAVE to do certain stuff to play DayZ then you have invented a way of grinding in your head. IMO Fine, if that's how you want to play. So I wondered what YOU think is the point of playing DayZ? Seems it ain't to collect stuff, because you say that's too slow and boring. You want to have the gear YOU want FAST. So when you have the gear you want - then WHAT do you do? If you got all that gear in a short short little time at the start of the game - THEN what would you play in DayZ ? You start by playing the game you want to play. So I wondered what kind of game that is? I ain't carried an AK in DayZ for.. dunno.. since last year sometime. Mil weapons aren't useful in my standard load-out, right now .. I like AKs, personal preference for a fun-gun, & I used to like AKMs better.. but they are not REAL useful in my DayZ ATM, I don't carry them unless I trip over one, and don't go looking for them (who needs them?). I look for other stuff that is MORE useful. So I guess we have different styles of playing. I'd really have to think back to remember the last time I went across SW Airfield.. If I go near a barracks or mil tents or green mountain it's to check out the sucker players who are jumping around there like fleas, I don't see much point in going INSIDE myself .. I just wait for them to come out. Natch with so much hopping they don't come out OFTEN .. but you always have to be careful in DayZ - there might be just one or two REALLY SMART players somewhere - anytime at all .. that's what makes the game REALLY interesting, IMO. Being outsmarted. so I wondered what was YOUR kick in DayZ ? Don't answer if you don't want to. No problem.
