I've noticed an increase in players since 0.59. Full servers can be found all day and night. The game unfortunately doesn't run much better than that right now. The new UI gives a few more fps but its real clunky compare to the old one so not really worth it. I run everything on high or very high and get about 30 fps in large cities with some slowdowns sometimes. I have seen 5 fps once. I believe it has very much to do with how much items are in the vicinity that the game has to render.

Ive never killed a player with the improvised bow and ive tried. Its utterly useless. Hopefully this will be better. The crossbow is alright I guess but the range of these weapons is really too low. In reality you could hit a target with a bow or crossbow at 100 m but the ones in game simply are useless beyond 20 metres or so.

Not game-breaking, just annoying. It'll get fixed during Beta for sure. Its not like gear is hard to come by. The only bugs I encountered while playing yesterday was items not being pickupable, legs breaking in the police station and some lag and desync. The sight is weird on the mp5 also but the game is pretty playable.

Lots of action today. I played for the better part of six hours with 7 or 8 different characters. I spent most of my time between Pavlovo and Kamy with two small Svet and Berezino adventures wehn I spawned there Met some friendly squeakers and a girl squeaker. Killed a punching bambi with a stick. Had to jump into the sea to get away from two punching bambis when my sword refused to do any damage on them. Got a kill with the IZH1 :D , a first for me. Sniped a few guys from the crane in cherno but was killed and yelled at by the admin or a hacker :/. The blaze with scope is a beast. Tried to take out an armed squad with my hockey stick but they just laughed and I got very lucky when one of them was going to shoot me and his AK clicked, I ran away. Spawned two times on Skalisty with the same character, grrr Broke my legs in the police station in Svet and had to roll around for the better part of half an hour til some friendly soul shot me. I had no knife and no bullets for my guns :( Saw my first FAL but had to run from it and died in a firefight with another guy. I also found a heli crash near Green mountain with some nice stuff: Irs optic, pistol suppressor, m68 smoke grenade red, never seen one before, no guns though. For once I didn't meet a lot of assholes, only one bambi trying to get my gear but I can understand him. And another one only talking russian.

I also think the fly buzzing would be a nice thing, and bodies lasting for at least half an hour or so.

No specifik ones, just ALL the houses in the town I go to. For instance, the other day i spawned in Svet, theres was a murderer in the police station so i was forced to the outskirts of town. Found a makarov in the first house I looked and a pack of .308 in the next one. Then a kind english fellow showed me where there was a blaze in Olsha.

Its not exactly rare but since its random you might not find it when you need it. It spawns in normal houses so just check all of them. I usually have luck with the small red house with the door in the middle. I have not found one 1911 mag and only eastern suppressors since 0.59 came out.

I agree, theres lots of asshats. Many times they are asshats for no reason whatsoever too which I cant understand. I saw a guy standing in a deerstand yesterday and thought he was dead so i climbed up. He wasnt so i checked his name, picked up a burlap sack and climbed down. he then comes to, climbs down and start punching at me even though i was a relative newspawn. I avoided him and asked what he was doing and told him to go play cod instead he stopped, apologized and wanted to run with me. No I said, so he went to the police station in Berezino and got shot, while I looted up and left. Stupid stupid. I later got shot in Elektro in a firefight with two very well-geared guys. I killed one :) A lot of newspawns are probably mad at getting killed and want to punch out the first guy they see for revenge. This is so utterly stupid that I cant even begin. And I feel that its gotten worse than before. Not many people are friendly and even streamers that used to be cool are just KoS:ing all the time now, making a bad example for others to follow. I can become very mad at times when I get killed when I dont deserve it but I never go ranting and raving about it or try to get my vengeance on the world for it. Better to just shrug it off, start again and loot up. Its not like it matters. Its just a game.

Theres almost always(75%) one at the deer stands.

I played on this server a while ago and met two guys in Chapaevsk. One asked Are you swedish? And when I replied Yes I am, he tried to shoot me. So very rude.

Wut? you cant find ammo? I find guns and ammo way to common as it is now. Yesterday I found at least twenty guns on my way from Berezino to Dolina. And ammo for at least five different types. How is this dull? what do you want, Large piles of fully specced M4's at the entrypoint of every town? I'd prefer it if the guns and ammo were much rarer so you held on hard to any gun and ammo you find, knowing there might not be another one. Nowadays when you go to the airfield you dont meet guys weilding a shotgun, chambere dpistol or crossbow. You meet fully geared guys carrying a FAL, SVD and AKS and tons of ammo. Thats what I think is dull. As for the IZ-H, If they only made it so you could fit the hunting scope(it has a rail) and possibly a bipod, but the scope is enough, it would suddenly become a contender. Its quite nice to shoot it but the single-action sucks big time. You die against everything unless you are sneaking up on people. The CR is a nice looking gun and looks even greater with the scope but I feel as if theres something wrong with it. I usually fire it single shot, even if I have a mag, as you can see where your shots land that way and almost always shots over 400 m miss. And its not that they go high or low, they veer off left or right. I've even had a guy in my crosshair at 150m , fully rested, holding breath and missed. I dont know how its possible and it doesnt happen with the mosoin, blaze or winchester. Even the SKS doesnt have this problem and fires the same round.

Omg, are you really able to run the game with that? Your cpu is way to old to cope with Dayz and its not the dual core or quad core that deos it, its simply a very old outdated architecture. Your graphic card is also quite weak. Look at the top graph: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Athlon+II+X2+240 Your cpu is a the bottom and the cpu I have is at the top. There an enormous difference between them and Dayz doesnt run supersmooth even on my computer so it doesnt really stand a chance on yours. I would wait to play the game til its released if I was you, unless you can afford a new computer, it will most likely be optimized to be able to run with lesser specs later. You dont need to buy the absolute best there is but it would most likely cost you at least 1000 dollars/euros to get a decent one. As for the rendering distance you need to go into your config files to change it. C:\Users\yourname\Documents\DayZ\your_dayz_profile\your_dayz_profile.DayZProfile Set the following options : mouseSmoothing=0; – Optimal. This should help sort out mouse acceleration problemssceneComplexity=150000; – This number affects your object details.shadowZDistance=100; – This is the distance at which shadows are drawn.viewDistance=1600; – This number affects the distance view (trees, grass etc…).preferredObjectViewDistance=1000; – This will affects the distance that the objects will be drawn.

I'm not sure about that. Just look at the reviews. The absolute majority are one sentence reviews like "game totally suck balls" and the like. Only a few of the negative reviews are actually worth reading and most of those are FULL of errors. I've replied to a few but its pointless to even try so I won't any more. If people don't want to like this game, so be it. I must however bring one thing up. I found on the Dayz haters team forum a thread by a guy trying to put Hicks in a bad spot by trying to show how badly he treated him, even though you could easily se that what he was proposing was not true. I replied to some of the comments on youtube with pure facts and the responses were almost moronical. Check it out:

Theres nothing saying you wont get shot by him anyways, especially if you're on the coast, people tend to always run to their gear and try to kill their killers. I'm just suggesting that NOT killing every single person you meet just might make the game better for everyone. But you can do what you want, naturally.

No it was no hacker thing, he just ran zigzagging through teh corridor and ended up breakjng my legs with his fiorst hit and then knocking me out with his second. Quite silly. But I encounter this often, If you dont have a semi auto or better punchers will get you if you let them come close. I even had a similar encounter today. Today three things happened, two annoying and one quite fun. I got to the airfiled with a medioum-geared character, No auto but a Cr with scope and glock. I ran along the edge of the airfield on the north side and got to the little green guardhouse. Even before I run past it someone fires at me and hits. I right away go fpr a quick dive to avoid the bullets but instead my character starts to reload. So I stand there reloading, cant do nothing. Naturally Im killed and the person killing me is obnoxious. I log in with a very well-geared character in cherno, AKM w drum masgs, mp5, cr75, grenades, the lot. No scopes for any rifles though which turned out was a bit of a shame. Im on teh little peninsula sitting in the tin barn scopeing the town with my binos. I spot two players sitting in the cranes sniping bambis so i shoot at them for a bit but dont manage to kill them so change position to the construction site. I notice some players on triple yellow that actually seems to have a firefight with the guys in the cranes so engage them too. After a while I pull out and do a flanking maneuver on the eastern hill. I then meet a guy who shoots at me with a blaze. he hits me, I fire off some rounds but am unsure if they hit and someone starts shooting at me from the cranes so I leg it. Im hit by the blaze guy again so I stop behind a tree a toss a grenade. I never hear it explode. I run on and stopa gain and pull out my mp5. As the guy runs by I spray him with bullets, he pulls out his blaze, shoots a round at something to the far right of me and I die. He then proceeds with obnoxiussness ofcourse, like they always do. I Log in with a medium geared character in Cherno again. I hear gunfire from the police station adn notice a player sniping from the hospital so I shoot him with my longhorn. I go to him to loot him but hes already there picking his gear up and moving to the topmost roof. I throw a flashbang up there and climb up. The guy is totally blinded so i look for something to tie him up with but he seems to come to so I shoot him instead. I loot his body and move down. The shooting by the police station starts up again so i check it out. I see some lowgeared people but there seems to be an a-hole inside so i wait for him. As I wait, the guy I killed is back again and hes not happy. I tell him to go up on the roof and get my sporter and gear I left but he wants nothign of it and goes after me. Not wanting to get punched by rifles not working well i simply run around on the roof for a few minutes while he tries to punch me. I taunt him also so that he will come to see the folly of his ways and eventually he gives up so I climb down and leave.

Well theres no need to leave weapons or ammo. And eventually you'll get shot in teh back anyways so why not make it more interesting.

It seems like normal PVP mostly. Its hard to tell but theres people shooting and then its not really KOS. One thing that annoys me though, and this is nto directed mainly at you, is that a lot of players tend to shoot downed players in the head right away, not giving them any chance of recovery and breaking the atmosphere of the game. The most fun I've had in this game has been when I've been downed, had my gear stolen and have been able to regear and get revenge. There are so many options with bandaging, tying people up, dressing them up and posioning them, why go for the most boring option, shoot them in the head? Shooting two guys with a makarov is pretty epic, I must say.

Today I noticed some truly disturbing behaviour with a player. I met him in Dubky as we went into the same house from different ends. He raised his Cr 527 right away but I talked to him and he lowered it. He said he didnt have bullets for it anyway, the lying bastard. I didnt have anything of value which I told him and we talked a little, then when I turn to show him something he immediately raises his gun. I move away but he follows and excuses himself. I stop once more and the second i turn slightly he raises his gun, shoots, misses and says sorry. I run and wait for him and he follows but spots me and shoots again so I move again and again he follows. I grow tired and run away. I climb a tall apartment building and see him below looking for me. I couldve easily axed him earlier which I also told him but some people just seems retarded.

Zeds will most likely come in larger numbers later, when they can optimize teh way the game handles them. I believe they mentioned backpacks spawning with loot, weapons with ammo etc might come later. Why would you need a guide for it ingame when you can find all the info you need for crafting very easily here, or on youtube? 15 cars would be much to many to handle. Someone would just gather them in his camp, still leaving none for other players. There is also a matter right now with the cars desyncing each other out, a lot. I think 5 cars per server is probably alright. Bicycles, motorcycles and the heli will also increase the number of vehicles later on.

I'm 42 today. So I'm hoping for some Universal enlightenment this year. My plans are drink jeager and red bull, make some nice pork and fried baked potatoes and play a little Dayz, Poe and Ark. I'm gonna watch a few movies also. Tonight I'll go out and watch the fireworks and see whats happening around town. People are bound to be drunk and doing stupid things so its usually fun to watch. Last year I saw two young girls wearing the shortest skirts i've ever seen making out. It was a hoot.

MURDERERS! They're everywhere. But also some nice people. Well, one. I logged in in Cherno with a relatively new guy, had a pistol grip shotty and nothing else really. I heard someone shooting with a mosin from the eastern woods. I met a newspawn and talked to him for a bit nut he was clueless so i moved on. I went into a two story building close to the forest to check it out when I hear someone outside. A guy come sin and sprays some bullets form an automatic but misses. I tell him to back off but he says nothing. Soon, a newspawn appears, clearly baiting and after a while they attack. I shoot the newspawn in the legs but do no real damage on teh other guy though I'm sure I hit. I'm bleeding and the newspawn is now crawling around by me on teh second floor. I only have one round in my rifle. I avoid the newspawn but can hear the other guy repositioning himself. Suddenly a bullet cracks through a window. It seems there are three. I reload and auto guy attacks, spraying silent death. I get off one round. I respawn in Balota, find a backpack and two rifles right away. I see aguy so i greet him. He says hello and shoots me. I respawn in Svet. I loot for a bit and pick a Glock and mag off a dead guy in the police station. I meet a friendly guy in Olsha who leads me to a winchester. i got towards Berezino and by the railroad tracks I spot three players coming from that direction. They see me so i greet them, keeping my Glock ready. My hopes of a friendly encounter are gone when one of the guys say with a eastern-european accent "drop your backpack". I say no and drop him like a sack of potatoes. I move on to number two but he kills me with his rifle. I respawn south of Berezino. The area if full of newspawns, some living, some holding on to a semblance of life amidst screaming and chaos. I find a mosin with bullets and get the hell out. I make my way to Kamyshovo and two guys are occupying the police station. I train my sights on them but notice that they dont have any gear of importance so I let them be and move on. I find a hunting scope in a Deer stand. Good times. Today is my birthday.

Most likely it will use the same optics as the UMP and M4. I've seen thermal optics used in the mod and its just silly. Basically gamebreaking. I hope it is not implemented. Night vision goggles that cant be used in combination with optics would be nice though.

Rain was quite common in 0.59 experimental but I haven't had it once since stable. It thunders a lot though but it never starts to rain.

Four things happened yesterday, all involving police stations strangely enough and with four different characters: I came upon the Svetlajorsk police station with a new character, carrrying guns but no ammo. I see a players head in the jail cell so I go up and talk to him for a bit. Hes slow to respond and I see him clutching his gun like theres no tomorrow so I leave. I come to Kamyshovo over the mountain when i hear a shot, winchester or svd. I sneak up so I can see the town and notice a dead player on the roof. I wait for the culprit to show himself but he doesnt so I leave. I spawn in Cherno and go to the police station. Outside is a guy loooting a dead guy. he's obviously a murderer so I aim with my Sks and shoot.It clicks. I check for ammo and theres none :/. The guy doesnt notice anything so I go into the station and after a while the guy comes in and searches it. He comes onto the roof where I am and starts attacking me with an axe, I tell him to stop but he doesnt. I throw a flashbang and go blind. I can still hear the other guy swinging but I'm still alive when i am kicked for some Lobby idling thing. I try to rejoin but it fails. I'm annoyed and leave. I make a new character and spawn on Skalisty. I get to Kamyshowo and theres a shitload of loot outside the police station. I go in and go on the roof and notice a guy running in and cycling the loot. He doesnt notice me so I sit and wait and check the loot from afar. A bambi shows up so the lootcycling guy attacks him. I tell him to stop but he doesnt so I shoot him with my sporter. Ive had my fill of police stations and leave.
