Nothing better like being in the middle of a gunfight and your guy starts groaning cause he has to take a shit.

You must be joking? I shoot you because yes it can be fun. But mainly because you could have a magnum and shoot me in the back the first chance you get. So yes I do find it fun. Don't like it? Don't come to towns like Elektro or Cherno and expect rainbows and pink butterflies. It's a warzone, and anyone in it is either armed, or looking to get armed.

Someone has already been there, you generally have to get as far away from the coast as possible more in-land to find loot. Also playing on servers that reset every 4 hours does help, as loot will respawn after the reset.

Sticks can be found anywhere tbh, but I mostly find them in hospitals, schools, firehouse and jails. Morphine will mostly be found in a hospital, but it CAN be found in every building. Hospitals just have a higher spawn rate.

Not allowed to have "No KOS" in your servers name, that's why they don't do it. Also you cannot be banned/kicked for KoS, as that is against the server owner rules. So honestly do what everyone else said and kill people anyways, they can't do anything about it.

Played over 12 hours on the same server yesterday. Never saw 1 drop of rain. I play on max settings. Explain.

Any idea on when rain will be implemented? I saw this tweet by rocket: Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns 17hYES! Finally got weather sync'ing at engine level properly! Rain is going to start becoming a serious issues, affecting gameplay! #DayZDaily Does this mean it will be released soon? I think it will be an amazing addition, however I just hope there are good ways to combat getting sick, such as: Jackets keeping you warm which is a given, but what jackets? and I assume ruined won't give you protection but pristine would give the best, so clothing damage might mean something now? Also he mentioned Fires would keep you warm, I was not aware you could make fires? I realize there's propane tanks etc but I have never used them before. Buildings would also keep you safe from the rain from what he said. Hopefully it turns out good. The only thing I wish they would do is fix zombies already, having them walk through walls is honestly annoying. ANd is it just me or have zombies gotten smarter? They now see me from half way across town, and hear me when I am a far bit away from them. Also they just DO NOT give up, I literally had a zombie follow me from one end of Gorka to the other end, and I was running around houses, inside houses out the other side to try and lose eye contact, and the zombie just would not give up. It's nice there smarter, but they did get more annoying as they are relentless now. I noticed they don't phase through every wall, but they do phase through a fair amount, so I can only assume they are slowly going through each building and fixing the issue one wall at a time. Is there anywhere I can see a list of future updates in the next update, or experimental build? I would like to check out what they have in store for us in the next major update where they add new content etc.

Fairly long post, divided by colors. Cyan is the Story, Orange is Background for a feel of what we are about, pink is after-thought info. I haven't played DayZ in around 2-3 weeks, I was fairly active with my Clan up until the Update where you could paint guns, stopped playing 2-3 days afterward and just played again today with 2 guys from my clan. Here's some background: I wouldn't consider ourselves as "Bandits" but rather vigilante's. We DO hold players up at gunpoint, usually handcuff them, search them for supplies, let them know we are recruiting, and let them go on there way. Of-course, we do bandit stuff as-well, well mostly me as there are people who are trusting and then there's me. Ex: A Guy and his friend shot at us, we killed his friend and we managed to capture him by overwhelming him 5 to 1 saying to give up so he did, my clan mates handcuffed him, and searched him and in TS we where divided between "I think we can trust him he seems pretty scared and won't fire at us again" and "He could easily shoot one of us once he's outside and hidden" of-course after 2 minutes of debate, I just straight up shoot him in the head and kill him, after-all he just shot at us. So everyone in the TS is saying stuff like "OMG you just shot him" and "hahaha I can't believe you just shot him out of know-where" and we reminisce about what just happened, having a good laugh since what I did was completely unexpected and random. We DO help players, like Bambi's etc we never kill unless they attack us, also if someone doesn't have a gun out we will warn them that if they take it out we will be forced to shoot. we only really do Bandit things to players who shoot at us, sometimes we do it to the occasional friendly just for fun like steal there pants and handcuff them and leave them there. But we only kill people who shot at us. Here's my Story... My Friend asked me to play DayZ, and we found out our clan finally got a DayZ server, so we decided "Hey why not play on that? It's 35/40 people just what we like to play on". So we logged in I was a fresh spawn and my friend was at NWAF. We noticed another clan was in the server and hoped we would run into them for some nice action. I was on my way there, around the coast near Berezino, when another Clan-mate joined the TS channel we where in saying the clan had 2 guys patrolling around Stary Sobor and Novy Sobor, and that they had asked my clan-mate and his friend to turn around and leave saying they where peaceful and didn't want any trouble. Of-course as soon as they turned around and started to leave the clan-mates friend got shot in the back and died, and my clan-mate somehow got away and made it to NWAF where my other clan mate was. So they wait for me, and we decide to meet at the Military Base south of NWAF. I get there finally, and there has been no action. They then made jokes about how I look like Kony because my default char is a Black man with Green Shirt and pants, and I had picked up hiking boots, and a beret + sunglasses and I did look exactly like him in all honesty. They take screenshots etc as I pose using the new point gesture saying things like "Kony wants you 2014" etc having a good laugh. So we decide to move out... We walk around the place notice someones been there, and I walk up to the prison do the 3rd Person look through walls trick (Yeah I know I'm a bad player whatever I'd rather not walk in on 5 guys with M4's). I don't see anyone, so I open the door and TWO guys are right there guns pointed at the door and all I got is a Magnum and they start to fire at me I panic and empty my clip while moving to the side and somehow killed one of them, so my one friend went on the other side of the doors to peak in, while the enemy was near the staircase peaking around the wall and firing out the door so my other clan mate goes into the trees so the enemy can't see him and eventually shoots him enough so he bleeds. The enemy runs upstairs, and we hear bandaging, so I quickly tell my clan-mate I'm going in full on SWAT infiltration style, and kill him as he is bandaging. I then loot him for SGS, we are celebrating our victory, my clan-mate then shoots both dead bodies to make sure they are dead. All of a sudden we hear in-game voice chat "Hey are you guys from this servers clan? We can see you." and we're like "OMG someone else is outside" so we look through the walls and we see 6 guys surrounding the building, and we immediately realize that it's the clan on our server. So I tell them "DO NOT SPEAK IN-GAME messages or they will know we are the clan of this server and we will be KOS". This clan says "Were friendly and have injured players in there we just want to heal them and leave" at this point I say in VC(Voice Chat) "We killed both of the guys in here they shot at us first" and the clan reply's "he's unconscious not dead" and we are freaking out as to how he can not be dead after being shot while unconscious. I tell my clan mates in TS "We are at a military base, one does not simply go to a military base and claim to be friendly so don't trust them" So I say "We are friendly, and just defended ourselves" which was true, the unconscious guy says 'We did fire on them because we where scared" which confirmed we didn't lie. So a guy in other clan says "I'm coming in with my hands up don't shoot" and I tell him "Ok we won't shoot just heal your friend and leave please" and my friend and clan mate at this point are saying stuff like "Man this is insane we should just cap this guy" and I tell them "Bro they have 6 guys, we are 3, 2 of us see all grey they would wipe us out if they rushed us not to mention we have 1 mosin, 1 sgs, and 1 m4. and they have 4 guys with m4's and 2 with mosins" and "Whatever you do DO NOT talk in-game via messages or they will KNOW we are apart of the clan" (We have our clan tag in-front of our name the same as our server) So I allow the guy to come in, he heals his friend and his friend crawls out, he then leaves and the next 5 minutes this clan has the jail surrounded and my friends are freaking out in TS. And I say "Thank god they didn't find out we were apart of the clan that runs this server", and right after I say that I kid you not a guy from the opposite clan joins our TS and says he is from the other clan and knows it's us in there, and says stuff like "we are going to the firehouse now and we are friendly so if you need any medical supplies we will be there" then he leaves. And we freak out wondering how he got our TS info etc, but we figure he got it off recruitment thread etc. Afterward we literally camp inside the jail for a good 30-45 minutes after they leave, because my clan-mate thinks they have snipers in the tree's etc. So I eventually leave the jail and search the tree's barracks surrounding it because they are both paranoid at this point, and it's all clear and we decide to log for the night since it's 5am for them cause they live in Sweden. Needless to say, in a situation like this we would have normally logged out in a 6v3 situation as it is usually hopeless. But because of the new 30 second log-out timer to prevent combat logging we stayed as they would have killed us most likely after we logged due to our characters still being there for 30 seconds. And I am now 100% certain the game is SO much better because of it. No longer will players combat log, and no longer can WE combat log. The game now has a new level of thrill for me and my clan. Honestly, I do hope that one day they fix the look through walls trick, as-well as other stuff like it. I generally only use 3rd person to run around, and 1st person when I'm in a potentially dangerous area. All in all this is THE best experience of my DayZ career and because of it I have become addicted to this game once again. If you have a story to tell feel free to post it below as I would like to hear about it :P

I was just on a regular fully geared. It reset and now I join other regulars and they give me a fresh spawn. Explain.

Login: Player queuing system introduced. Penalty waiting time added for switching server or disconnecting a server quickly. I am NOT complaining about this, as I agree with it for server hoppers abusing it for gear. But what about for legit reasons? I just spent the last 10 minutes hopping servers because everyone I joined I was a fresh spawn. Either add a way to tell what Hive your character is apart of and add a list of them so we can SEE what ones we actually have our gear on, or don't add this in seriously. I don't feel like being penalized because I can't find the correct hive, and nowhere does it indicate atm what hive my character is saved to or what hove servers are on. They all say "Public". Again I agree with it, but obviously it is going to make people mad because of hopping to find a server that has your gear on it rather then a fresh spawn every time.

With new spawn rates expect to die A LOT more often then before. When there are no Food/Drink/Weapon spawns people kill other players for supplies. It is the price you must pay if you want low spawn rates.

80$ a month is not that much if you plan to host your own server. It is literally ONE day of work if you have a job. I don't see what the big deal is...

Just wait until Bows and arrows are out.

I wish they would.
