I hope someone records it! If they do post the link here.

On that note, if a bandit strips you down, run away, get to cover, circle back and then punch them in the throat! You live or die but they deserve it if you live!

Not much for camo right now. If you tend to play in the forest than put on green clothes. In towns black is better. In regards to bandits, my life IRL is more important then my cell phone, my wallet or my car. Treat each life in Dayz like that and the game gets that much more intense! Survive by any means necessary.

Yes TeamSpeak is not connected to any game as far as I know? So you have to do that with any game if you want to use TeamSpeak. Although I haven't tried TeamSpeak Overwolf yet and I think it stays open as an overlay while in game.

Yes but the magnum just needs bullets. Pretty much any other pistol needs a mag too. I don't have a preference but if I don't have a pistol yet and my gear is full I'm keeping the magnum bullets over any other. Better odds.

Right now yes but as I have said in other threads we are testers. Once it's fixed it should hopefully be sweet but they can't fix things by removing them so we need to put up with it or go play something else while we wait for the fixes. Since playing the Standalone since December zombies are way better already. They rarely get into buildings now if you shut the door quick enough, they can now go up stairs so you can't just hide from them and watch them fall through and they are a force to be reckoned with. Especially the hoppers. I still find them easy to kill with an axe, pickaxe and hoe, (That's all I've tried so far in the newest version.) but they could use improvement. I am in no way saying we need to get rid of them! In fact it would be cool to add in some more random animals that might eat you too. An escaped lion from the zoo or something? Lol? KOS needs to be slowed down somehow. But that's a whole other thread.

That is the whole point completely! Survive at all costs. (Don't die or put yourself into situations where you can die!) If they could do it and justify it, it would be cool if you bought the game, had 1 life, died and had to buy it again. (For like a dollar.) Just like real life. Ok not buying a new life but you know what I mean? That's the whole basis of the game. Survive, don't get into battles, kill animals for food, cook them, live off the land. If you die you start again. Suvive. The Walking Dead tv show is a good example of how this game is meant to be played. They never look for fights but if there is no other choice you fight, live or die. The end.

Hopefully that will change soon enough! I don't know how or when unless they implement some sort if reward vs. risk system to prevent it but fingers crossed!

Nope, can't wait. Once stealth and crawling and crouching doesn't set off zombie agro I'm going to be in my element! I don't care about pvp much at all in this game. It's a minor unnecessary inconvenience to the overall game. I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion unless you didn't read the whole thread or my op though?Edit for booze related grammar and spelling issues. Cheers!

So excited for cold and hypothermia! Might get rid of a few more of them!

Many people complain of broken legs on stairs and ladders. I've never had one. I'm not sure if I'm lucky but I do make sure I never, ever run up stairs. In fact i never run inside any building if I think if it. I think it's a lot to do with desync. You think you are on solid ground but the server thinks you're somewhere else. Then when it catches up your hanging in midair...for a second until you are dead.

Inb4lock?

But what about when they start acting as a hoard a bit like the ones in some of the H1Z1 videos I've seen? Strength in numbers could be an issue if someone's camping in a building, down to their last bullet and every exit is surrounded by zombies. They will be better one day hopefully.

Me too. :)

in 200 hours of playing Standalone and uncounted hours in the mod I find it one of the least populated major centres in the game right now. Yes there are server hoppers that pop in and out to gear up but most people are too lazy to run anywhere. I am exploring and surviving....not just looking for an akm to kill people. The "kids" as you call them, (I'm 38, hi.) just gear up and run to Berinzino (sp?) to shoot, die and spawn again. ZZZzzzZZZZzzz. Once the game gets closer to finished I am going to know the map better than most because I take a different route every time. I already have my some base ideas plotted out and know some cool spots away from the coast or east coast to hide my tents, packs and persistent items. Enjoy your AKM kill fest for now but once zombie hoards are attracted to gun fire and sound is fixed so once you take a shot everyone knows where you are then you're going to be thinking twice about even using an akm unless it's fitted with a silencer. Silenced weapons or sniper rifles are going to be the best choice or even better, sneak attack with a knife in the back. Any thoughts on my topic or....?

I like all those points actually. I have used the other guy as zombie bait to escape a few times. Beans for you!

Would be good if you could use it to drink out of too. Maybe catch rain water or from a pond.

Just logged in? All servers are down for weekly maintenance right now.... Edit: although with that said I had about 8 persistent servers in my faves and about an hour before maintenance they all kicked me off, sat at 1400 hours time for 5 minutes but I could not enter them and then they all disappeared from my faves all together so maybe.

It is true though that the longer you hold G the farther it goes right? Cool video, puff, puff, pass!

I've actually never had a stair mishap after 200 hours but I know I'm lucky. I don't know if it's just luck but I never, ever run up stairs. Actually I don't run inside at all. The second I enter a server the first button I push is ctrl. (Crap is that default walk? It's so habit I can't remember.) Then when I want to run when I'm outside I double tap W and I'm on my way. Also I find that when I climb a ladder even when I think up at the top press up for a full 2 more seconds. No falling off that way although I've had a few ruined pants from z's that way.

I notice they all have mdk in their name. Ever think of Googling their clan? I did. Try it. Maybe even put a Dayz in your search parameters. Now join or message their clan and boom...instant friends!

I always spread out my medical gear and ammo into every pocket and pack the second I pick it up. Get ruined pants and a broken leg, I still have a morphine or splint somewhere.

I know the map pretty well....can't work out where this is. Care to share?

No one mentioned you can't just jam a stick on your arm and be all good....but I'll let you discover what you need to craft a splint once you've found your stick. ;)

I don't think I've noticed that either. Maybe it's a setting that I have off or on that's different than yours? Hard to say.
