Dingus (DayZ)

There is no benefit to it. The game really just asks you to be a good person. Something I find wonderful about it, and also frightening.

Nothing against you OP, just off comment that I dislike the rapid video cuts that have become ubiquitous in youtube videos. "etc etc etc" *cut* "etc etc etc!" Good luck with your channel.

Honestly, I was insulted by the videos. They are clearly on a private "filming" server. When one of the guys shoots the other on "accident," he is warped back to the location it happened in and able to loot his own body. They did not take the time to learn anything about the controls and clearly have no concern over their success in the game. They are tagging on to the hype Day Z is getting so they can attach themselves to it. There is nothing genuine about the Day Z videos they have released. This gives potential new players the wrong idea about the game and how it works. On the positive side, despite misguidedly, they are bringing more attention to Day Z and likely earning BI more sales of Arma 2 as their minecrafters decide to try it out. They are just in for a rude awakening when they learn they don't spawn with weapons and there's no server admin who will move them around or protect them from harm. I do not hate Yogscast. I just believe they should stick to the games they enjoy, such as minecraft. I enjoy their minecraft videos, because they seem to genuinely enjoy what they are doing. These Day Z videos look more like pandering, and they couldn't be bothered to give a shit about the game.

I try to be nice, though. I only take what is useful to me, and I don't destroy the tents. Why would I? I need them to come back to later to rearm.

Not anymore. And the only disappearing weapons I know about are the L85s.

I'll take your word for it.

Well you can't. Not without a gun. Maybe you are going through areas where someone has recently picked them clean and the loot hasn't had a chance to reset? I don't know. it sounds terrible, but the game is definitely spawning weapons.

Technically, you need 30 to call it a sample.

People hide everything in the woods, mostly. Get enough food and liquid for the journey and just go searing the edges of the map. I don't even go to NW airfield anymore. Too many free weapons and ammo lying around empty camps to bother.

Nothing to say you probably haven't already read replied to other threads almost exactly like this one. But good luck and see you again soon.

mmmm...

Ultimately, direct sexual stimulation and pleasure. I know we're a long way off, but it's about the journey.

That's a good question. I want to guess 10, but I don't really know for sure.

Despite that, I always try to find a server with the exact patch I'm on. I don't trust them otherwise.

That is an excellent point. I just don't have eight. Our first day of playing, my partner and I each found a bike leaning against a lighthouse. It was magical. Two bikes at one location.

Weapons do indeed spawn. You are either incredibly unlucky or don't know what a weapon looks like. I like to check farms/barns to find my first rifle/shotty, and I almost always find a mak, 1911, or revolver in houses. I also go straight to elektro or cherno when I spawn until I find a bag and medical.

I think bikes are the best vehicles in the game. All other vehicles are just tents with benefits.

I started playing with some IRL gamer bros and still do. Maybe I'm lucky.

Not sure. I honestly haven't been back to mine since the patch hit.

Sounds like someone stole your bike. At present, it takes seven days of inactivity for a vehicle to despawn. Someone check me on that.

It's worth it if you have a good hiding place for it when you're offline. (there are no good hiding places)

I haven't noticed anything weird yet. I do know that usually bandages are a dime a dozen, and could have been reduced some. You'd walk into a church and there'd be eight bandages scattered about, or at the top of a castle.
