Yeah Im not keep on this method either for the above reasons (disapearing bags). To make sure the server is in sync with me, I drop a can of food and if it appears next to me, I then drop my bag and transfer, but I always transfer the very important stuff first before switching and transferring the less important items. I once had my entire bag clip inside a car and I couldn't access any of it .

Hi folks This is the first is a series of tips and tricks videos I would like to share with the newer players around here. Some players who have been playing for a while may also find some new information. More in the series to come soon

Thanks Ruullor This was just the first tips and tricks video and was just a test to see how it would be received. Should be much more structured and informative from now on as it seems some people might get some help from it. Also going to be covering more advanced topics which Im sure even players with hundreds of hours of playtime will find something new. I've never had a saftey issue with the radio towers before. I think its handled more like a building rather than something like the firestation tower which has stairs and that causes the broken legs. They are my new fav looting spots. Found a Mosin snap loader up there last night. No one ever checks them.

After a long lonely time looting, I found a truck and drove around most of the map and still didn't see anyone. It was getting towards time to log off so thought I would head to NWAF and see if any I could get involved in some mischief. Was a fun 20 minutes.

I've read about 4 or 5 posts now from you where you are afraid of new zombies with old player detection and old zombie problems. Can I ask, have you seen any of the videos from people testing out the new zombie AI on the experimental servers? Even in the first iteration, zombies dont seem to zero in on you from 1000m like a Exocet missile. Crouching reduces detection even further, They seem quite good for a first iteration.

Ive never had the unfortunate even of the tree falling on top of my gun and it being inaccessible. In my experience the tree doest remain a solid object once its cut down and you can access anything under it.

https://youtu.be/Xs6Nebgwqw4 In this episode, I teamed up with Dave and Jim from RanshiTV in Kamyshovo. We just switched server and the boys instantly spotted someone, and tried to make contact while I was still logging in. Their attempt at being friendly fell upon deaf ears, so I moved up to the hill to offer some over-watch protection.

Just for future ref: For items on top of lockers, like boots, you have to remove your currently equipped boots first, then use the dot to take the. Same goes for items in the school under chairs. But I agree there are some items you just cannot take as they are bugged out. Often in the cirrent patches, its a dsybc issue and leaving a building and returning will help. If you drop your weapon in a bush/tree. Chop it down and it will be available.

Still struggling to work out your reasoning why its a bad idea. I provided you with a solution to the concern you raised about an innocent bystander being prevented from logging out. To run away a few hundred meters would take seconds Perhaps you are a combat logger or ghoster when you play :P I personally think an extended log in period when switching servers is a good idea, but that unfairly punished people who crashed or their server went down. Sounds of someone logging in or out will harm immersion but perhaps a decent solution, but we already had that and they removed it.

Holy shitballs Eugen. The smile on my face is broad after reading all that early work that's going to Exp right now. Fun and interesting times are soon upon us.

Don't use my basic understanding of how it may work in practice as gospel. It was just a throwaway comment I heard him make and just something they were considering. For all I know, it might be a 20min log out ban if you are within 200m of there the bullet was shot or where the bullet landed. If you are just a bystander, and if you were to run away for a few hundred meters, you may be able to log out without issue.

If you already have something in your hands, put it away or drop it and use the dot on the screen to pick up items

It was during a stream and just one of several possibilites they were thinking about. Why would it be a terrible idea? Interested to hear your reasoning.

Shhhhh....keep em quiet :) I found an AK74 at one of the permanent ones the other day :)

Hicks had mentioned that they were thinking about a system that means you cannot log out if there has been a gun fired with a radius of you (unknown radius, prob 200 to 300m) for X period of time (20-30 mins?). It would mean that you have to fire a gun (perhaps a suppressed pistol to stop unwanted attention) but your prey would not be able to ghost or combat log.

They will probably be primarily used to get into someones base

Guns are generally found in a few building types (Tiny blue and yellow cabins/Piano Houses/Fire stations etc). Ammo can be found in lots of building types, but certain ammo wont spawn in certain areas/types of buildings. Have a look on here http://www.dayzdb.com/mapand use the search option and filter types to narrow down where you are looking for. Click on the coloured shapes on the map and often it will have a picture or description of the house type Search every building you find and you will start to learn where to find stuff and which buildings are not so great.

It depends on what you want to do. If all you are interested in is finding people to interact with (even if that is getting killed) you should head to Elektro. The best way to work out where you are is to find roadsigns at the edges of towns then use izurvive.com to work out exactly where you are. You can even type in the search of izurvive the best approximation of the Cyrillic letter and it will work out what it should be (e.g. if the sigh has "Г" in it, type R, if it has "И", type N. After you have died plenty times, you will eventually get used to the spawn points and know almost instantly where you have spawned. If you want to meet the most people, anywhere from kamyshovo to Elektro and Cherno is your best place to bump into folks just now, but dont be surprised if you still dont find someone around these parts. If you want to survive for more than 1 hour, you should head inland and start exploring the towns and other places.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've still to hit a moving target from that range. Fired off about 20 shots from 800m to tripple yellow in Cherno the other day and nothing hit due to the guy was weaving back and forth. Need lots more practice :)

Here is mine. Ranges around 900m from sniper position (http://www.izurvive.com/#c=-72;-41;7) to kill location (Fire station) at sea level, so I estimate 920m to 950m if you take elevation into account. I wasnt planning on killing the guy but he seemed to want me to do it. Skip to the last 30 seconds if you just want to see the kill

Im only jesting with you bud :)

So if you spotted someone your telling me you would NOT have taken a pop at them? :P

Look at you pretending to be all pius after complaining that you should be able to rest your Mosin on a wall :P

It's an interesting poem, but I think you would be better sticking to a haiku or limerick structure.

I read this far then realised you were probably not telling the entire truth: "My friend Brandon was on top of the fire station shooting zombies" It should have read: "My friend Brandon was on top of the fire station shooting anyone he could see" No need to bend the truth when you are in Elektro, its a PVP hell hole and anyone in the city is looking for PVP :)
