brrr, that's scary dude. :D

It should be pitch black for all people and not just a few, but sadly it ain't.. I believe that nighttime goggles is necessary at the moment in the item pool, because of long night/day cycles. And at the moment; a lot of people logs off when it get dark outside, and log in another server when it's morning. You see a lot more people playing on day servers compare to night servers due to no night goggles. -Ori

I'm curious what the rope will be used for in future updates?

The game looks great at low settings though. :) The Dev, team said they could optimized their game a lot in the future too - so it will get better when we're in beta. -Ori

That's my point in BF4 I've 120 FPS at ultra setting. In cities your fps drops a lot.. check this video by Frankieonpc; he got 680 gpu's. setup. -Ori

It's probably in wrong forum section, and it should be in hardware; but play on low settings. I've a high end desktop with gtx 780 & 32 GB veng. at very low. Arma games is horrible optimized on Nvidia high end gpu cards. -Ori

I've found several green rounds so they are in the item pool, but they might be rare.

This evening I played for first time without microphone and, of course, I heard someone fired at me in Cherno - I dodge the bullet, and ran tacticallyabout until I found some cover. Suddenly, I met a brit near the train station aiming at me with his Magnum pistol. I thought, now I am finished, and was about to plan my nextroute when I died, lol.Although, he gave me some food and water after he figure out I was unarmed with little food left.. He probably heard shot too about 1 minute before I met himwho aimed at me, but I didn't had a mic. this evening to warn him about the roof top sniper.So I took the bambi dance to say good bye and thanks, and I went to direction of Airfield. I heard the sniper shot like 1 minute after our meeting with the brit,so I hope he didn't got killed. 'sighThis kitten don't like snipers.. Edited: I'm certain that those who're good to survive are the most experienced players in DayZ,and they don't kos unless they've a very good reason. -Ori

qft.

We will get more modern guns in future patches, and in my opinion they should spawn more randomly, which is realistic, because it will reduce a typical camper (player style) - who need to move to different locations instead. And now it's obvious where to camp on the map; and brief campers in general = kos. It's similar to BF4 with camping just to get good K/D ratio, it promotes really bad and low risk gameplay. And it doesn't help that all decent weapons spawns near Airfield and firestations concerning this issue. -Ori

I don't see the point; a lot of servers have really slow respond recently and in general bad quality - when you aim with a gun, eat, drop/pick up items and more AI doesn't help, Otherwise we need a few unique item ID quality servers that can perform better, but 'few' servers is not a good answ. with all these people who want to participate in alpha. -Ori

Maybe new items are too slow to spawn; any official words on this?

Hm, some of you guys sounds like this mod. has been out for a decade. Arma2 was out 2009, the dayz mod. probably about 2010? :) I played beta in Shadowbane in 2002, or was a murderer in Ultima Online in 1998.. Perhaps, some hardcore dudes have actually some experience about PvP and survival type of games, or even better how to balance it properly. In my opinion right now it's too obvious where new players or R.I.P players spawns - so it should be more random in future updates. And I say this to protect unarmed characters before they vanish into the woods to hunt new items and food. 'berries?' )) And don't trust anyone in game like this - unless you know what you're doing or have decent backup plans, and I also recommend to watch Frankie youtube videos; he is very experienced about survival. -by Frankieonpc - -Ori

I always close the door behind me when I walk into a popular structure/building - so there are no evidence that I'm inside military installations, because I can see when someone open the door due to lights/shadow effects. -Ori

It seems that most people spawn at the exact same location near the beach - very close to Kamyshovo.

When I hear a gun reload nearby, because someone logs in or teleport near me - I usually log out fast. If you use headset @OP, you will hear usually when someone is near you unless he roll on the ground, but that's not a teleporter, or hacker, nor a cheater - that means you have been spottted and a person located your position on the map and a fair game. -Ori.

Perhaps I was on regular, but I usually play on hardcore servers, so I mixed it up. 'sigh, I lost 20 min. ))

It saves for me successfully now..

It doesn't work, it won't get your old character back. In fact it won't save at all for me. I was almost at Elektro city and loged out to check if the character saved the location, but I started at a new random location.

QFT.

I didn't play arma2, but how long will the night cycle last in Dayz? ))

Anyone have some idea how to change your in-game name? edited; My character name changed in the new patch..

ta, ty. :D

Hm, will the new january updates be available on all servers now?

Aye, I wear a helmet & vest, so it might be harder.. However, it's not about to KOS - if you see a person spawn near top of the tower at Airfield or sniping nearby the mountainside - the person is there to camp someone else who are unlucky to get spotted by him/her. So it's either you or someone else, but survivial is not to play this game like BF4 or CoD in my opinion. It's a lot more fun when you are trying to be hidden and observe the environment what's going on the map. Maybe you hear distant gun fired when you're silent - lets investigate kind of approach without getting involved in fire fights is fun and u save amo! hehe. This kitten only use amo to defend myself. 'grin' -Ori
