Avoiding the drum mag 4 slot l33t reload BugZ
Abram_ replied to yazar8's topic in New Player Discussion
Nice to see that it simply dropa to the ground now. But i always keep the 2x2 Sieve for it for WHEN i go to open a door and the game decides to loudly change out my mags instead. I try to keep only one mag type, asthis annoyance has gotten me kied more than few times... -
Avoiding the drum mag 4 slot l33t reload BugZ
Abram_ replied to yazar8's topic in New Player Discussion
Uh, are you talking of when the drum vanishes of you have no space in your inventory? -
Mostly the Dayz Sa Central app my phone. But i know the Mayo pretty well now and really only use it to find out where friends are. I know most of the city and landmark locations week enough, plus getting lost can be fun. I've been getting better at judging ranges. But I've been considering using the in-game maps. They're pretty detailed, and have the topography lines. Since the combined Mayo only takes a single slot, and I've stopped hoarding, a large boar Backpack and vest is good enough.

When i have enough to survive without going into towns, and a gun if i have to kill any players. Knife, fire, gun & ammo, rainproof clothing. Once i have ask of that, I'm satisfied. I'd like to interact with strangers more, but since most will kos or fake being nice and then kill you after you help them, I'm very hesitant.

How do I not panic/shake when I get in a gunfight?
Abram_ replied to cheeseburger8's topic in New Player Discussion
I also got this a lot when i first started playing. Nowadays, my heart certainty pumps and the adrenaline gets flowing, but I'm getting used to it. Dayz is the first game in a looong time to do this to me, and it's pretty awesome. -
We paid for the full, complete game, and got access to this Alpha.

Looks better than the kitchen Knife. It appears to be slicing into your back. I guess it helps it stay on place?

Etiquette around people sitting by a fire?
Abram_ replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
I had a fun of God luck trying to play as a non+bastard, but this last week full of fake-friendlies has made me very hesitant about helping players out. At the very least, i'd watch them from afar. If they stayed alone, i'd likely go up to them to offer food or shoot the shit. The Fire Kit may take 4 slots, but you can store anything you like in it that will fit. Oddly, keeping non-meat items within it while the fire is going will not damage the items.... Takes 4 slots, holds 5. I always keep one on hand. With .49, you can also reuse the log. Take it off to put the fire out, put the kit in your inventory, then add the log to it. Since they're so easy to make, i never mind losing it out leaving it for someone else. Do they ever burn out on their own? With the cold being difficult for some players, maybe I'll start leaving fires along the common corridors of travel... -
.... 33 pages of shit.

That's a pretty retarded idea. If anything, i'd rather see urination. Though i don't expect either.

It's shit like that event, that makes me love this game.

That bandwidth trick is no longer reliable. I was watching it while meeting up with a buddy. At one time, fast sheet the 100,000 desync thing, and only one, we're our bandwidth values close to each other. But the 100k desyc thing works fine. This is when you move into another players "bubble" , which is a bit less than 900m. Even then, it only lasts for a short time. And it didn't occur when a player logs in within that radius.
-
Works fine, but the post-leap movement of the crawling zombies is weird, and a bit annoying. Certainly far better than the .48 version.
-
I don't bother with those any more, except to pick them up on case anyone needs one. I use any tool, even my fire axe. There's enough cans around that i can afford to slip most of it. Us meat, berries, apple trees, and random fresh food is plentiful.
-
Nice idea. Maybe have it force the player inti a sitting position, but can still use hands.
-
I only ever get two skins from Prestine blades, but not often.. Maybe 10% of them.
-
Now that staying warn is important, why not have food am you up a bit? I noticed that placing any item on the fire will make its' background turn red, so why not be able to place items sick as opened cans, emotionally the fire, and eat them a bit later. Like steaks, the red colour slowly lightens, then goes back to grey (cool) for any item I've put in the lit fire. I already tried this with a can peaches: opened, let best up and placed into pack. Once i got "cold", i ate them while they were still red, but no temp change. On a related topic, why not have ammo, unopened cabs, or other items get damaged or explode when placed in a fire, using the same or similar timing as it takes to cook meats? I've also noticed that since .49, we can remove log, and put it back into the fire kit to burn it again. Make logs single use, or wear down in condition.

Shortcut that almost cost me dearly...
Abram_ replied to Mad Scientist's topic in General Discussion
I've run across they airfield many times without an event. Never with more than 20 people on the server though, or if i know for a fact that a group is around. I do always wait fur did to find, but never do... Of course now that I've stated this, I'm sure I'll be one-shotted the next time i try it -
First rule for Dayz players: do not become attached to your gear.

Since this new Zed looks so unique, I'm guess he'll have more aggressive behaviour. Maybe he's very fast and/or agile. Our takes flying leaps.

I've started friendly interactions with a "hey man", or "how's it going?", then i site then that I'm no threat. Though i do have a lowered fun in my hands when i do so, in case they turn aggressive. I continue by asking if they need anything, which about half do. If they have little far, give them some food or clothing. If i give a gun, i drop it and tween them I'll drop ammo in a nearby building. One time i have a fresh spawn a rifle and ask, and the prick sour me in the back as we split. We usuallyshoot the shit for a bit, then go our separate ways. I end with a "good luck". 80% of the time, it works out. Most people are happy to have a peaceful encounter. Some have even joined our group. But it off a general mistrust of players, one of us stays behind him.

Its easy to deal with, so i don't mind it.

Is it worth buying Dayz standalone yet? [With Developer responses]
Abram_ replied to Blade4777980's topic in General Discussion
Even if you don't like how the game is at its current state, the purchase gets you the finished game. May as well get it while is Cheap.
