Just a reminder for you when you just spawn in
MetapoliC replied to leefriendfield's topic in New Player Discussion
Remember to play the way you want to play and not to listen to others which are trying to teach you how to play THEIR style -
Rename to DayB (Bandits are scarier than zombies)
MetapoliC replied to Mancomb's topic in New Player Discussion
Still whining huh -
This game has alot of people that make dumb decisions.
MetapoliC replied to poodude28 (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
This is a game, not real life. Games are for having fun, playing serious all the time is not much fun. You got the point -
Is this one real? Check the top right corner (for Russians). If this one is real I love it :D

Someone can tell me why is that funny?
MetapoliC replied to hijacker1987's topic in New Player Discussion
Point is when you watch a comedy it might be funny for you but it´s stupid for somebody else. You simply cannot judge what is funny and what is not because everybody will decide it for themselves. I think it is very funny that you are coming here and whining about these two guys. For me funny for you not so, right? -
Buy StarCraft II

It was interesting to read, thanks for the thread. You are right, the very first impressions are very important. I also agree that these zombies simply can´t be taken seriously. The most dangerous thing about them is that they can walk through the walls. Would love to have the zombies as fast as in Left 4 Dead 2. They are also easy to kill but they can beat you up to death pretty fast and they run even a bit faster than you. THIS gives you a sort of adrenaline rush and makes you think twice. In DayZ I don´t even bother killing them when i´m looting the buildings. I just know exactly when they hit, how they hit and it is way too easy to avoid it.

Would be great if that mysterious combat-logging would exist. 8/10 times I see how people log out instantly.

Buy a megaphone, crawl to Elektrozavodsk, press CAPS LOCK and start screaming into the megaphone as loud as you can. Somebody should hear you and will maybe help you out.

You can also get yourself some fuel by hitting the gas station with your Fireaxe, then you can use the fuel for the Gaslamp for example

I noticed most of your comments are similar "helpful" Also had a strange bug. After a server restart my jacket was somehow ruined. I`ve played with mates and I know for sure nobody shot me, nor I was trolled by mates ^^ So the jacket was simply ruined, the stuff inside - wasn´t. Next day I had 2 character whipes in one night, both lives I was already geared up, no server hopping. Tried everything to maybe get the characters back but nothing helped. Lost about 6 hours of progress (2 whipes + 1 death due to a bug) Must be servers ^^

No name tags please, keep it the way it is right now ^^

I just made a fundamental* mistake and paid* the price.
MetapoliC replied to Miquinei's topic in General Discussion
Hell yeah this community for the king -
Thanks for guide, new players can use it for sure. Haven´t found any useful information for me. Don´t understand why people are so crazy about beans? I mean they are useless and nobody cares about your profile here.. so what´s the secret about the beans ^^

Not at all... I had a very old machine before it died. I had the same problem and when I switched from Low to Normal I didn´t noticed any change in FPS. Turn off clouds and shadows, this will give you more FPS But as I said, if you want to be able to snipe with a Mosin + LRS at long distances - just set to NORMAL and it´s fixed. For me without fps drop on an old E6600
-
For everyone who sees players only at 200-300 meters - set Object quality to NORMAL Only if it´s set on NORMAL player models will be rendered and shown at large distances and with that your problem is solved Top right box, the 1st option: Objects - Normal, everything else can be on low/very low or even disabled http://i.imgur.com/igPCHZW.jpg

Try some other games because it looks like graphic artifacts. This can be your drivers or even damage on one of the graphic cards. DayZ:SA is Alpha thou and maybe the problem is the game itself. If other games are fine then try to switch some texture and rendering settings ingame.
-
Been writing about this in a few threads - first things I find when I spawn are weapons. Sometimes struggling to find any food or a backpack but already have a Mosin/SKS/Shootgun. Reduce the drop rate of them all
-
My first hours in DayZ:SA I thought I have to cook my food and I was taking one matchbox with me omg ^^ Just throw them away, they will be needed a few months later I guess. Basic cooking is already working and should be implemented with the next updates.

Placing a rifle to your backpack?
MetapoliC replied to the_governor's topic in New Player Discussion
I decide myself often for a Mosin+LRS and I take an extra PU scope with me. On a long range you have a clear advantage, if you are getting flanked and they are getting near - switch to PU scope. Finally a Magnum and a proper headshot will get the enemy at least uncoscious. 2 Speedloaders, 60 bullets will be enough Been using two primary weapons before but it can end up deadly for you... in certain situations. You better skip ladders because it will get you sick trying to get your 2nd weapon back. Not knowing when the last restart was can be frustrating ^^ Lost a full pristine M4 with ACOG due to server restart once and another one due to a bad server. The weapon just did not appeared on the ground, even after 20 minutes. These are the reasons I´m not taking two primary weapons with me anymore. It´s all up to you and your playstyle :) -
Ah ok, I see. As from RL videos and movies it is possible and people do use them in let´s say desperate situations. If you can use it on a weapon, with a certain distance eye to scope, you can also use it without the weapon, keeping the same distance. Just saying... I would love to see this and the binoculars in the game, but I realize it is something not so important, I guess. So I´m totally fine with just binoculars, as long as the drop rate is "real" Let them spawn at the ship and airfields, but why would there be a binocular in a house which stands alone in the woods.
-
Why do you feel bad? You don´t know who that was and it is not smart to expect him to be friendly. "Mosin + LRS = Bandit looking for freshspawned" This is a total bullshit and I can confirm that on me, i´m not a bandit but my favourite strategy would be more Mosin+LRS rather than M4+whatever. Pretty sure i´m not the only one. You can have both weapons if you put the M4 on the shoulder. Then you can pick up the mosin from the floor. If you join another server - both weapons will be on the shoulder and you can sprint. As soon as you take anything in your hands, one of the weapons will fall on the floor, so you have to remember that everytime you are putting something in your hands. Just a small tip - next time you can at least take the LRS if you feel having two weapons at the same time is too much. Mosin is a weapon which you will find like everywhere, a prestine Bipod is not rare at all, but the LRS... I would even destroy the scope if I rly don´t need it/no space Have fun

Punctuation ruined one of the best dayz stories ever :/ please fix cmcdo207 -
Would be nice to be able to put a LRS in the hands and use it without the weapon.
