You probably have a grey screen because you added the startup parameteres to DayZ from Steam, right? I think I had that problem too. Remove the worldempty one or something. The name should have been changeable though, tried clicking onto it? Another way is to go into the .cfg files and fine the name line and change it from there.

Depends. If I decide to play survival I do it fast and with interaction and if a threat pops up I expect to get shot so I shoot first, otherwise friendly. If I play pure KoS/cunt, I go to Elektro on a full server with the team and we do it fast with "interaction".

I found plenty screw drivers and hacksaws until I got my hands on the opener. Items here are like cars in GTA. When you finally find a rare item it spawns everywhere after that.

Portable stove... my favorite item. I would KoS you if I knew you had one and I didn't. I just love eating cans next to a lit up stove somewhere in the forest.

Exactly what I was thinking as well. I think it's 4-5 pellets to kill a guy. Doesn't the shell house like 7-11 pellets? And with the spread it would make sense. Kill them from close up to hit with all or most pellets.

The real question is why are you letting yourself killed for no reason. It's not that easy to get killed if you leave the coast until you find people to group up with so you can return to the coast and hunt bandits or whatever. But I agree, it's a survival game. If a player is not a threat then you do not survive by killing him, you are just an ass, but meh, DayZ.

I think they are laggy because of the maintenance.

Ye, I thought it was just me. I kept running and teleporting 20-30 meters behind then the character got reset each time I joined a server trying to get rid of the lag.

The time filter doesn't work. All of them are night regardless. I want to play DayZ after 8 PM without being forced to walk around blindly in the darkness.

I get the beret error too, but as for the performance it's the same. It moves even more fluently since I added the MarkC mousefix.

Heh, now we can explore the game, see what's new, without him KoSing us with his pristine M4.

I got rolled back to the life that got ended by two fast trackers with axes. I got three openers and three bottles of water. I wouldn't even be mad because I'm still continuing my "alive" hour streak I had before the wipe, but the character doesn't save on all regular servers...

I used my old name on a regular server. Still a random character with random gear. He also looks like a character I had a few deaths ago with civilian gear. It also resets the character among other regular servers. This fix doesn't seem to work.

It's called M91 or 96 bayonet (?), not the spike bayonet for Mosin, that can be attached to the M4 or be used in the hand.

I love 3PP and seeing my characters from behind, but I don't mind a solution to keep it. I believe there's a higher chance to get shot at if you pop into someone at 1PP than at 3PP when you have a few extra seconds of seeing a potential enemy and assert the situation better. I can live with being seen from around the corner and have a guy pop out with the aim already on my head.

I play with them off now. They play a nice role if you are not facing a player and he is on a building ledge, stalking you from behind. You will see his silhouette on the ground and you can turn around to shoot him if he's hostile, or die trying. It proved useful in other shooters.
