Did he say that? :/

Yes. Everytime I spawn when my character reloads its M4 I get a heart attack.

Yes it happens alot!

I'm on my way to elektro and I see this: This looks like a half of a runway, you can also see a fueltank at the side of it. I think this could be something! p.s - no, it's not a field.

This sound glitch is in the game from Day 1 of the SA. You will randomly hear combining, zombies and etc... It happens on full servers most of the time. When will it be fixed?!?!?!

Please. It helps alot and this guess game of 'guess where the mildot is' makes no sense. I can't think of 1 reason for weaponary manufacturers to not put any mildots in marksmen's scope. Even if the scope was invented 100 years ago (which I'm probably sure 100 years ago the long range scope was invented). The whole 'no, don't kos! putting mildots will increase kos' is stupid. I don't kos, but letting us guess where to mildot is at on my scope is stupid. And a simple hunting scope like this: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/129037/bushnell-elite-3200-tactical-rifle-scope-10x-40mm-mil-dot-reticle-matte Is set with mildots and the scope is functional up to 600m and not 800m. So come on, Carlos Hathcock sure had mildots.

When will Utes be added? Wow. If it will, DayZ Standalone will become a beast. If it would be possible to extend the map and also add like a panthera Island far on the south this game will become the best open world survival horror game. No jokes.

Make an animation with the fire station ladder bug, that would be funny. The evolution of fire stations! First, it was a building Second, it was a building with a tower Third, it was a building with a tower with big ass doors but the ladder bug was never fixed. Not in ArmA 2. Not in the DayZ Mod Not in DayZ SA. Long live firestations.

ah! LOL. he's busted.

Freshspawns are the biggest threat in DayZ, too bad you didn't realize that. Freshspawns are gearsuckers, and it's better to keep an eye out for their safety instead of confronting them directly, in a friendly manner ofcourse.

no!

But it makes no sense, look where it is at - Why on earth someone put a parking lot in this place?!?!

This suggestion is about mildots in the Long Range Scope not about the zoom. And when zooming the mildots' value of distance will be changed ofcourse.

Hunter scopes have mildots. I've been looking at some hunting forums (they actually exist lol!) They do, I looked at their scopes they attach to Mosins, because Mosin is being used a lot as a hunting rifle. They say that, when they hunt they use their scope to measure distance and shoot their animal-target with it. They don't use x8 (?) scope but x6 scope most of the times. Also, If anyone here is up to say "Adding mildots will increase KoS", then f*ck off!

Well you're wrong then. In the mod, you can zero your target's range with a DMR scope by calculating - target height * 1000 \ mildots = Target Range Target Height: Standing 1.8 Crouching 0.9 Proning 0.4 Mildots are very important.

Play with default FoV then? If you don't wanna play with the default FoV that's your problem really.. that's how it worked with the DMR in DayZ Mod. You change your FoV, mildots are inaccurate. Deal with it.

will be re-uploaded soon ***

Next Patch Build (0.40.*) These are extremely needed things. Please add them, some of these features require time to sit on and model / script but it shouldn't be so hard. [1] The Beginning of Hunting - It's almost the first quarter of the year and the most basic features of the Roadmap aren't in the current build. You should start working on the Hunting system. Even 1 animal should do for now like a pork or a deer. But there are a few things you should take into consideration such as - Animals have different speed. I mean it, if you put deers in - make sure they walk calmly in forests and fields - and once a deer spotted a player he'll run off. It also brings stealth-hunting which is fun. [2] Add a bow - Ye! Like the one from The Last Of Us. Not a crossbow, but a true bow with perfect reloading animation and wooden arrows. Make it kill players with 1 bow to the head and 2 bows to the stomach / back. Also, make it break players' arms and legs if the arrow hits any of them. Oh and, add some arrows to those barns - it's a nice way to start having 'Barns Lootpiles' (though there aren't lootpiles but you catch my drift). Let us also craft wooden arrows with 1 wooden stick and a knife / bayonet / hatchet, and the hatchet shouldn't be consumed (obviously...). [3] Let us gather Wood from trees with hatchets - Ye, just like the mod. We should get either wooden sticks or wooden piles. Make it random. It will be nice to see those things in 0.40.*

I start off DayZ, my friends see me playing it but it doesn't launch with no errors and a few seconds later I am back on 'Online' status on steam. I could play DayZ a few weeks ago but now it doesn't launch

Background If you've played the mod you will recognize this character as a 'Hero'. Theoreticaly, heros are players who help other survivors in DayZ. In the mod, there was a Humanity system that gives (or takes) humanity points to each player according to their deeds. When your humanity reaches a specific amount your skin will be changed to either hero or bandit and players could determine what is your play-style. DayZ Standalone doesn't have any kind of system like this. How to be a hero Since DayZ SA got no Humanity system, being a hero is not measurable and can only be determined by other players. A hero isn't necessarily a guy who sprints towards other players yelling 'Friendly! Need anything? I have a bloodbag!!!1". The current state of DayZ SA features a basic KoS policy where players 95% of the time will shoot you on sight, it means that a hero is a ghost. You must not be seen in order to survive, and when you see someone you should not just kill him. Only shoot when it's a MUST. Sometimes you will have to shoot someone because he goes to a specific direction, that's right - but they MIGHT risk your life. You should only help others by holding them up. It sounds silly but that's pretty much the truth. If you run towards someone who looks at you he will only need to press space and hit LMB in order to access your loot (For the difficult understanding bambis - they can easily shoot you.). Hold a bambi up, if he turns to you - you shoot. If he pulls a gun out - you shoot. If he runs away - you shoot, because they might just run for cover. A bandit is a guy who kills everyone. A hero is a guy who kills players that put his life in risk. Once you got your bambi held up, you start talking to him, asking him what he needs - if you see he's really poor than you should take him with you but make sure he is unarmed and watch him at all times. Reminder - Freshspawns are bandit with no guns, they want to gear-up as quickly as possible. Helping freshspawns on Chernarus coastline is not advisable. Spread around Chernarus. Who should a hero kill? As a hero you should help other players you find, but you must also keep an eye for bandits. Bandits are blood-thirsty and only wish to kill others. It somehow makes them feel satisfied by seeing a bleeding player fall on the ground with a bullet inside their body. As a survivor it's the best way to avoid bandits, but as a hero you should kill them, or they will kill others. If you see a guy following a bambi with a gun - his intentions are pretty obvious. He would either shoot down the guy or beocme a sickfuck and feed him with rotten kiwi or disinfectant spray (Oh, and removing his cloths off for the lulz). You should kill the guy. Once you figured out how to help others and who to kill - procceed to the last step: How to stay alive as a hero? Before you go out there helping them bambis, learn how to play without dying. It's nice you're not KoSing others but you should care for yourself too! After you manage to get your gear straight, spread around Chernarus and don't stay at the coast and it's surrounding areas unless you're really depressed and wish to die. You should become familiar with Chernarus. Find a map or use one online to navigate. Once you know where you're going keep a low profile and don't ever run on roads. You should keep a fine distance of atleast 50 meters from a road, and follow it. This way you are less seen by other players and can see others who runs on the road. Trees are your best immobilized friends, keep yourself in forests as much as possible. If you can minimize your stay in an open field just do it! Bypass and go around with the trees instead of going through a field. If you must go through make sure no one is around - take your time to determine if there's anyone near. Loot smaller villages and don't go to the NWAF. I would advise to go to the NEAF if you badly need military stuff - just be aware of the hill north-east from the runway since a lot of snipers find it a good spot to sit at. A small tip regarding the Rify The Rify is a large crashed ship between Berezino to Svetloyarsk with pretty good loot. Don't go there, period. (On each server with more than 5 players, atleast 1 player will be at the Rify - #FACT) You're ready! Now go and hit Chernarus, show them who's the real FRANKIEonPC among us. Save those poor bambis trying to find their way. Be good! Smile to the world and it will smile back to you! I promise! I think...

Yep, that's what a hero is.

Wouldn't say something to offense you but once you are being forced to surrender you're lucky since the same guy could shoot you while you arent ready for it. Besides the sickfucks with the rotten food, anyone else wouldnt do that for bad intentions. Get your stuff straight... you better put your hands up instead of being shot.

Holding up is the best way to interact with others as of the current playerbase. If a simple survivor will see you he will either attack or run to cover (so he could attack). Let me show you a simple example I've seen yesterday - where a guy wants to give another guy some food for his battary. He did not hold him up and just kept talking to him - messing with his inventory. Result - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSRN-tqtMXM#t=0 This guy is an idiot. He is running towards freshspawns asking for their battaries as he gives them some food and drink. He is not holding them up either. What the fuck did you expect? As for those who think a hero should risk his life - RIGHT. It's true a player should never get attached to his gear but it doesn't mean character death is just simple. Never risk your life for others - survival of the fittest. If you've ever watched Hunger Games you'll see Katty (or whatever her name was) never risked her life as she did help others. If you see a guy running in the road, pull him to the forest nearby (if there's any). 2 players interacting with eachother in the middle of the road is a time bomb that could explode any second. Your life are important than the other's but if you can, help them. To be honest I'll call a hero someone who simply won't shoot at others unless in self defense. But helping other is some kind of a must in the DayZ concept. Indeed, hero is a hard-to-define term in DayZ Standalone since there is no humanity system. Being a hero in DayZ SA is pretty much a ghost. If you are looking for fame, and want others to know you than you better not be a hero unless you wish to open a youtube channel. You're a ghost. Only show yourself when needed, if needed. Don't expect a guy you just help to immediately open the forums and write down on the general discussions 'A GUY NAMED XXX JUST HELPED ME HE'S AMAZING'. You do not gain anything, you help others. ^^ That's a true hero -_-

Part 1 I got character wiped, all of my stuff is gone and I lost everything. The End.

I came back to DayZ SA after a week at DayZ Epoch, finished building my base and got bored. Heard about a new patch with some new areas added to Chernarus+. "Gonna' have a good trip to Svetloyarsk", I told myself. I went in-game, spawned at Chernogorsk, near the Hospital with a prestine M4 fully modded. Opened my map and discovered that Svetloyarsk is placed at that North East bay called Guba. It's about 10km trip isn't it? It's night, I did my best to run into the forest near Cherno, don't wanna get shot by a "sniper" (shitty mosin with long range scope and bipod), and... started running.. Reached Elektrozavodsk! I had to pass through that Valley with the powerplant. Couldn't take that risk of being sniped, bypassed it by going abit north and climbing up the hill, continued towards Kamyshovo. Now, the action began! When I arrived Kamyshovo I heard someone combining his bullets or rags - I immediately hid behind a tree-.. and sat there for about 6 minutes before the guy came out of a random building and started running towards Elektro. I am not a bandit but I really wanted to shoot him, test my M4. He was lucky, because as I had a clear shot - Server Restart! Joined another, full server this time - carefully ran in the forest towards Solnichniy. Before I got there, I found a small and cute Quarry! It reminded me of-.. the first time I reached the military base near Kamenka! It was so-.. new! I just discovered a new location by myself and it felt awsome. I thought it could be an amazing location for a base, kept that location in mind. Entered Nizhnoye from the forest, decided to try my luck and sprint into the town until I pass Berezino. I was lucky, I noticed that every building is open, and it was creepy. Even an industrial hangar at the northest port of Berezino was open - someone clearly went the same way I did! I ran about a kilometer straight until I found something interesting-.. VERY interesting! I knew I had to explore it, could be one of the best discoveries I have ever found in DayZ! But if there's someone there already, or a shitload of zombies, or traps or monsters... What could I find there? How did that ship reach the coast? I tried to recognize movement or anything but it seems to be dead silent. If anyone will jump on me while I'm in there, I'll probably get a heart attack! The tension is freaking my out. I went in, got up to the deck - found some soda cans. Got to a ladder that leads down to another deck, probably where all of the rooms are. Went down and found a big hallway with rooms besides of it. Took some Canvas Pants and Pink Beanie hat only because there look awsome! I got into a room where I found a burlap sack, and then I heard a footstep!! I couldn't know if it was mine or someone else. I just freezed, tried to make sure it was no one... Appearantly, a guy with a hatchet jumped into my room and started hitting me with it. FUCK My heart almost died by itself, I quickly pulled my M4 and started shooting the CRAP out of him. PANIC! He didn't even hit me once, my 10 bullets I sprayed into his body killed him, leaving all of his loot (empty backpack, spitting axe and helmet) ruined. It took me a few minutes to understand what the fuck happened. I killed a man. It was self defense but-.. I killed him. He was probably waiting there or something... I just can't believe how creepy it was. Imagine yourself looting an indoor-deck in the darkness, and suddenly a guy with a hatchet starts to (redardly) hit you with a hatchet. It's some true-fucking-horror. Saw shit, jigsaw should have put me in his game! I couldn't even think.. the shock is impossible to describe! I need to sleep, take a rest and continue my trip tomorrow. I just closed the room's door. Locked it tight and lay in one of the beds - fell a sleep. I will continue my trip tomorrow.
