New, unlooted items... Yes. But everything degrades usual. Still, i prefer the varied states of decay.

Is it considered bad form to server hop at military areas?
Abram_ replied to zombieland78's topic in New Player Discussion
Yes. But only if you're being a Whore about it. I wouldn't blame anyone for server hoping to find a mag or two for one of the new guns. I'm pretty sure we all do it too some extent. -
Keep your head on a swivel and verbally engage of you see someone. I try to avoid groups of 3 or more, and try to stay out of sight before i use myic I start with a "hello" or a "how's igoing?", and ask if they need anything, helping of i can, or two then if came across gear or food they're looking for. If they draw, flee while assuring then that I'm not looking for a fight. Your appearance seems to play a role in how intetactions go. Don't cover your face, travel with empty hands or a melee weapon out, and verbally communicate. As the game progresses and folks have more interactions with others, the Kos rate seems to be going down if you're not in a military base. In my experience anyway. One common thing that comes up after a short chat is that we're glad to have an encounter not end in murder. But there will always be dicks. Once you generally stop caring about losing your gear, you can take these chances.

Vanishing items. A buddy had his LRS vanish of his rifle, and the full yellow case I my drybag vanished. Good times.

Play another game. Quit whining.

Ya, i'll give you that. Though the majority of my robbing experiences is when i don't have much for great and make an easy mark. It's like picking a fight with a child.

I saw down the shotgun any time i get a chance. I usually carry around the first saw i find. It fits on your pack, so why not? When exploring on persistent servers, i sometimes drop my long gun and any "intimidating" gear to go into large towns. More than once, I've had some arse try to hold me up, assuming I'm not armed, then i blast him when he drops his guard. Robing people of a real dick move, so they only deserve death.

Cheating douchebaggery is an unfortunate pay of multiplayer gaming. The anti-cheat people do their best, but as with any cheat/anticheat battle, they're anyways catching up to the shitheads. Fortunately, it's still fairly uncommon. I've only encountered one confirmed cheater. I left the server right away.

I use this method to test of a tree provides cover from region : put a bother or canteen in your hands and try to fill it with rainwater. If you can't, then you're not getting rained on. I guess you can also wrong out your top, and wait to see if it gets soaked again..

About to buy a monitor but worried about DayZ
Abram_ replied to lovemesome's topic in Technology/Programming
That Dell has an IPS panel, and they are awesome. Whatever you get, i strongly suggest getting any panel type other than the most common, the "TN Panel". You alm never see the panel type on the box, so look up what ever model you're looking at. -

I run dayz on Dell u2410 at 1920x1200. It works fine. -
I don't bother with holidays, so I'll be killing as much as i do now: poor attempts to be friendly or passive, but kill any i run into a player with their gun out. It's what Jesus would've wanted.

Yup. Darringer, lever action rifle, pump shotgun, magazine for one of the new AKs. Truth be told, i "Found" the pump action by killing it's owner. I Isiah try to be peaceful on Exp, but i saw him running around and thought I'd try my luck with the hoe. One hit did it. But then i soon got my comeuppance when i was shot in the back in the same area... Also saw the 2 new backpacks, and some of the other new items. Pretty neat. No server or client crashes over 4 hours or so.

Whatever you can afford. Nvidia or AMD - no matter. Bang for buck is pretty much equal.

Works fine for me. If punching, aim for the head. Screwdrivers, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hacksaws, and hoes seem to do the best. Of course this may change a bit when we get to future versions. As fur movement, just steel to the side. Ashtrays. That way, even if you get a bit of lash, they still will miss you.
