Yet another building to avoid.

Nope.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. I know what game I bought. The zombies are annoying. And they get in the way. Don't take people's opinions so personally. Any other questions?

I'd love it if there were no zombies. To me they are just annoying and get in the way.

I am currently carrying 3 SMERSH packs and each one serves its own purpose. One is for ammo, one is for medical, and one is for food. If I don't regularly access them I often forget which is which and end up having to view the contents of each one, which is slightly annoying. I think it would be nice if we could use the pen to label certain gear so that you could know where everything is at a glance. I know in my personal bugout bag I use a marker to label certain things. Here is a mockup of the idea... https://www.dropbox.com/s/xu9doc0ghuyaxdx/labeled_gear.jpg?dl=0 Side note: on the hill to the south of the barracks in Dichina I must have accidentally dropped a SMERSH pack containing an ammo can filled with 300 rounds 5.56 and a couple full 5.56 mags. First come, first served.

Wayyyyyyy too much ammo. I've been carrying an AKM with a 75rd drum mag for weeks and so far I've only fired 5 rounds. One round for each of the 5 animals I killed for food. Other than that, I use my axe. Never shoot zombies.

Engaging other players has basically always ended the same way for me...death. When I first started playing DayZ I tried everything when interacting with others and it always seemed to end the same. The only time I try to meet people is when I'm just goofing around and don't care much (which is almost never). If I'm trying to play realistically (which is almost 100% of the time) I avoid all interactions with people and I only play at night. I have lived far longer this way. It all comes down to your play style. In a real post-apocalyptic situation, would you run around trying to meet people? No, because you'd die. To conclude, meeting people in-game is fun, but high risk. If that is what you want to do then that's cool. Just make sure you don't get attached to your character or gear. You'll just end up dead. Play smart and Good luck!

Yeah man, I completely agree. All of that sounds awesome and would make things much easier to organize.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize they were planning on adding this feature. PS: I'm sad about losing my packs. So much work for nothing. #DayZprobz

KOS is certainly frowned upon but it does have its place. I think there are certain areas (namely air fields) where KOS is to be expected 100% of the time. In areas like this there is a lot of foot traffic because of the high-end loot, and nerves are on edge. No one has time to stop and "talk it out" in areas like this. There are far too many people around. I usually avoid points of interest like air fields and fire stations. If I do enter them, its for a very specific purpose and I know that there is a good chance of an encounter that could end badly. If I make it out, I consider myself lucky. If I die, I know its my own fault. In sum, you did nothing wrong.

I think unless you're in a dire situation, looking for loot in deer stands is a bad idea. I have died more than once climbing deer stand ladders. Climbing that ladder would only be worth it to me if there were some cool things spawning in there. Other than that, boots and potatoes aren't worth the risk.

Good talk. I guess I've never seen any movies/shows/games where zombies limp around walking at a pace of .001 mph. Makes perfect sense that they can sprint. Kind of like how babies can run without knowing how to walk. Oh wait. Either way, it doesn't matter. There's a 50/50 chance of them being fast, or slow, or whatever. And in the end I don't think anything that's being said here will have an impact on it.

Obviously I was slightly exaggerating about the world class stuff. Let's not lose our heads. It still makes no sense to me from a biomechanic/anatomical/whatever standpoint. It comes down to a simple question. If you can barely walk, then how can you sprint? It makes far more sense to keep them slow and in hordes.

I actually never sprint all day, who does? There's a big difference between walking and stumbling around with poor motor skills. I just don't get how they can barely have the coordination to walk efficiently and then suddenly turn into world-class sprinters.

Fast zombies make no sense to me. If they can barely walk, and do so at a snails pace, why would they suddenly be able to sprint at incredible speeds?

There's no such thing as friendly servers. No matter what the title says.

I've been away for a few weeks and just started playing again. I thought I read somewhere about new backpacks or new backpack colors. I picked up a SMERSH backpack which is cool. But I can't seem to access the items I've put into it. When I right click the only option I get is "inspect". Also, are there other colors of mountain backpacks out there? I thought I saw a picture of a camo one but not sure if this is real. Lastly, I haven't been able to use binoculars at all. I just keep getting an "inspect" option. Are these already documented/known issues? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help everyone

Every player is a threat, regardless of what clothes/gear they have. I don't think a "friendly" looking player is any less of a threat than someone running around with milspec gear. Dress how you like.

I'm not sure about draw distances and whatnot, but at some point the foliage around you doesn't render on the other players screen. So you'll blend in more than if you were wearing a yellow raincoat, but I honestly don't think it makes much of a difference right now. Only when you're reasonably close to them and foliage is rendering do I think it gives an advantage.

To me, a gun is a gun. Regardless of caliber.

good talk.

I followed your trail of road flares from the fire station to tent city. It was creepy...I liked it. You took all of the loot along the way. Come back. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yd3szjj56s0ticq/NWAF_tent_city_flare.jpg

If you can't find zombies, head to a town. I was just chased by a group of 9. I don't want to see more zombies until they fix the issues with the ones they have now.
