A guy attacked me in Berezino and we both died, I think he was in cahoots with a guy on triple yellow spotting for him. I respawned outside Solnichy so ran to Elektro. By the time I got there I was well-geared again. The server restarted so I went for one of the guard houses and got sniped :/ . I respawned on Kalisty so made my way to elektro again, listening on on some guys and a girl talking in the kamy police station. When I approached the place where I died people were shooting. i looked for them but found nobody. The guard house was unlooted but I left it and ran.

You need a good cpu to run the game well. It doesnt need to be top of the line but Intels work better than AMD's. If you have a high-end graphic card it means you can run higher resolutions, better quality on objects, longer draw distances etc but it doesn't boost fps. As of right now its actually meaningless to invest in new hardware just for Dayz. The game isn't optimized yet and theres no telling how the end result will be affected by graphic cards or cpu's. It seems like theres things in the game that practically eats frames and its just not logical. Compared to a game like battlefield4 for example, you can run it with decent non top-of-the-line hardware at 60 fps, and when theres a lot of stuff happening your frames might drop to 50. And that game looks way way better than Dayz with a lot more happening onscreen at once. In Dayz you can run along happily on a road or in the forest with a few houses dotted here and there and get 60-70 fps, then go into a moderately-sized town and it drops to 25. then add some player interaction adn you're crawling along. I think this will be tweaked later and the situation will be more like in bf4.

No it was not removed, its just as rare as Aug, m4 and ump and only spawn at helicrashes. Why? Who the hell knows.

You don't knoiw that. Maybe he was shooting at where you were on his screen and the game decided you were somewhere else. It happens quite often. I once met two guys outside Berezino, one of them fires a shotgun at the supermarket about ten metres to my left side, I drop dead. The game is unfortunately not very reliable right now, sometimes to your advantage, sometimes not.

So, you have no idea at all what desync is, thats what you're saying?

Empty servers are no fun, either you run around alone for hours and find nobody, or you want to loot the airfield alone and get shot by the only guy on the server in a tent :( I had a very intense firefight yesterday which went well and for once, left me alive. I met a guy outside Elektro and we went to dubky together, I( was going to cherno for.....a thing. As we got to Novoselky we met a guy, We tried talking to him but he wouldnt respond, instead he tried hiding in a bush. Then he started firing at us. I didnt have any good gun so I ran around him and bashed his skull in with a hockey stick and there was much rejoicing. I took his SKS but left him alive and then someone else started shootign so I ran. I ran into one of the high apartment buidlings to get a better view and climbed the stairs. As I got up theres a guy right there! He started shooting with a sawn off mosin so i ran and we had a little standoff. I talked to him but he didnt respond so i bandaged. Meanwhile I could hear the guy I had met fighting for hsi life outside. I went to a balcony to get a better view and sawn-off mosin guy went right past me without seeing me. I couldve shot him but I didnt. I waited for a while til i couldnt hear him and tried to find him again. I saw him lay pinned behind a wall with two assailants. I needed to move. Just as i was prepping to move Saw-off mosin guy appears and goes right for me so I shoot, he shoots and he drops. I reload and shoot him dead. I bandage and set a splint then start checking his body. I try to get his name when i hear something below so i rush to the roof. From the roof I look around for a bit and see one of the guys shooting at my friend in a window of a nearby apartment. I gather my breath and as he pops up to shoot I shoot him. He drops right away. I notice another guy running away but I have no shot so I run along the roof trying to get him but he dissapears among the houses. I go down and loot the dead guys corpses then look for my friend but I cant find him. And the guy I knocked out with a hockey stick is gone too. I go on to cherno and hunker down. Waiting for 0.58

I met two guys. They said they were friendly but I could see one of the guys sneaking into a bush and drawing out a firearm. I placed myself so the other guy was between us while talking but then he moved and the other one started shooting. I shot the talker and wounded the other but he got me with a lucky shot. Good for him.

Every time anyone says Friendly, its just a matter of time before they start attacking you or trying to bash your brains in. Normal people don't do it.

That you die and have no idea why, how or when it happened. I want an explanation dammit!

The wipe. I got all my characters gathered in the same room, just waiting to get erased for eternity.

Mama, I just killed a man! Put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger(11 times) now he's dead! Mama, life had just begun, but he shouldn't have killed bambis like a noob! Since it seems patch time is upon us soon and most likely a hive wipe, I have begun a great migrate of characters and gathering them all in the same room in Cherno. Its a secret room(the top room in the TEC building by the docks) so be quiet about it. As its cherno theres always shooting and I usually have fun with some PVP before going to my lair. Tonight I shot a guy at the top of the firestation. I watched him fight another guy through my scope but as they were both armed I let them be. The guy died and a wild bambi appeared, went up the ladder and got beaten to death by the guy up there. In all fairness he was probably just defending himself but it can't be helped, death to all bambikillers. I had my scope set to 400 m but had a very hard time getting the shots to hit. They went way low. In the end I got him though.

I tried Experimental for teh first time today. It was pretty nice til some douche shot me in the back up in Stary Yar. I saw him earlier but figured he wouldn't be a complete asshole so I let him be. I was wrong.

This happens to me everyday. Only I am the guy actually shooting at a complete nublet a hundred times but still getting killed. Desync is a motherfucker.

This is hardly the best way. The best way is to go the the Nw airfieid and find a fully kitted out m4 just laying in the ATC. Then falling off the firestation roof ten minutes later in a laggy fest and dying,

Going inland usually means seeing no people until you get to the good spots and then get shot immediately. Good for gearing up but rather boring. What you need to do if you want to meet people and pvp is to avoid other players til you have a loaded gun. I can usually gear up decently in 30 minutes to an hour but its very dependent on the servers lifetime. If the server is recently restarted it goes fast but sometimes theres just nothing. Yesterday I went from Berezino to Elektro and every house along the way was empty. There was really nothing. Getting killed happens. A lot. Theres not much else to do than to hunt other players right now so be prepared to be at the end of it. I have a character die every night at least but it doesn't matter, Its the encounters that make the game what it is. Last week I had to go out for some air after an intense firefight as my heart was ponding so hard. I have never had that in any other game before.

You should translate what is being said, it would make it more interesting. Now its just another russian car wreck.

No good day today. First I had the drop on two players at the airfield but my scope acted up so I had to leave. Then I played with another well-geared character and got killed by two campers in Kamyshovo. One on the hill and another among the houses. I saw a player they had murdered on the police station roof and thought I'd slip away along the treeline but it was not to be. I repsawned in Berezino and got shot before even finding a weapon. I then repsawned in Cherno and looted up nice. Found a mosin, ak74su,mp5,cr75,fnx and magnum but no ammo for the weapons. I then ran into two germans and talked to them for a bit. Then one of them tried to restrain me with duct tape so i left. They followed so I went on a roof and found a box of 9mm bullets. I told them to leave but they didnt so i left again, then they attacked me. We ran aroundd for a bit, all firing off single loaded rounds. In the end they got me. I respawned outside elektro and thought Id go back and get revenge but fell off a crane instead. A helpful girl helped me get a splint. I then proceeded to gear up but could find no ammo. I also noticed the murderers had logged out so i called it a night.

Pistol holsters can be found at heli crashes, in the trainyard storage buildings and in some of the tent-like beige sheds with doors. I also found one in a wrecked military jeep.

I only met one other guy yesterday and bashed him with a hockeystick for a little bit. He squealed somethign in russian but I dont speak russian, so....squealers must die. He didnt die though but ran away bleeding and squealing. He had just killed a guy so I felt righteous about it. I then found a shotgun but couldnt find him again so I went to cherno instead.

Murderer

Well I can agree that revenge kills could increase with such a system but thats kinda what most people are doing already. They get killed and then spend most of the night running to where they were killed, or suiciding til they get there. The system I'm suggesting would just save some time and remove the nessecity for suicides. Thats what we were talking about, right? People work very hard to get their gear back and kill the person who killed them, or as is the case sometimes, find out what killed them. I once killed the same guy four times as he was determined to punch me out over and over. Finally I grew bored of it and dressed his corpse in my gear and logged out.

There was a post regarding this exact issue a few months back. What was concluded was that as the game is kinda broken in many ways there is no way to safeguard this. But once its done and there is no possibility of death due to bugs it might be possible to do something about it. My suggestion was that the player would be given a choice about where to spawn, not an exact place but a suggested area like north, south, west, east, center. That way there would be no need for suicides at all. People who want to play with their friends or revenge their death can do so. Some people argued against this as people so easily could get to their corpse but I dont see this as an issue at all. People who play in squads already have the advantage of holding on to a dead players gear so why should it matter? I would actually prefer it if corpses stay on the map, with their loot, until the server restarts and not just for ten minutes. Even if I don't mind the looting and gearing up part, I do think that finding a dead body with gear on it is a really fun thing in the game. It helps you but also makes for tension, as that guy didn't end up there dead for no reason. Another solution could be an extended respawn timer for suicides.

Boxes are broken atm and will not likely be fixed until later. As it is now the only thing they are good for is protecting items put inside them and yes you can put basically anything that will fit inside any container. I tend to hold on to protective cases and ammoboxes as these will be usefeul once they are fixed. Also if you use a cooking pot or frying pan with gas canister and gas stove you will save two slots. I do however hear that there is a bug in 0.58 that can cause problems with containers as you cant see whats inside them without putting them on the ground. And we all know what happens to things that are put on the ground. Most likely items put into the wrong container when the fix finally comes will be deleted. It has been that way before. It doesnt matter much as we will most likely see plenty more wipes of characters and stash in the future.

Heli crash and cars of different sorts. They are quite rare compared to last patch.

I had a little firefight on the TEC building in cherno. I logged in as the server just had restarted and ran for one of the guardhouses. As I got to it someone shot at me from a window in the TEC building so I ran away adn circled round. I climbed the ladder silently adn just as I got up top the guy climbed up to the little house . I waited and when he went onto the roof I shot him point blank eight times with my Makarov. He didnt like it and ran away on the roof as I reloaded. He fired at me with his sks, missing, and I squeezed off a few that also missed. I reloaded again and he came running, i shot off four or five more shots but he hit me a couple of times and went down. Kinda bummed to get killed because i had a shitty gun but i didnt lose anything of worth. I respawned in Berezino, met a friendly guy and played with him for a while. We didnt meet any other players so it was kinda eventless.
