    where is food ?

    Be the smart one in the family and join that one random server no one likes named "grandma's depends" or "the broken banana". head inland. and feast your eyes on limitless waves of soda and construction hats. But really. Join servers that others don't play on.

    Any ideas on increasing my FPS (AMD)

    A few things on why that link is entirely inaccurate. First thing: That article was published back around when razor game booster first came out. It wasn't nearly what it is today. Second thing: Whoever wrote the article didn't know how to use the booster properly. ------------ If I run DayZ without the game booster, I'll get an average of 30 frames in big cites like Elektro, and 45-50 frames in the open. If I run DayZ with the game booster, I'll get an average of 45 frames in big cities like Elektro, and 75 frames in the open. --- The reason I (and many others) get a considerable frames boost is because we customize what razor game booster shuts off whenever we play. Also I forgot to mention, if you have a super computer then razor game booster isn't going to change your frames nearly at all. The person who wrote the article may have had a "super computer".

    Any ideas on increasing my FPS (AMD)

    The guy in the video discussed razor game booster. I suggest using that until the game is optimized.

    Resenting DayZ

    My mistake. But essentials like food, medical supplies, firearms and ammunition would most likely be long gone. At least in populated areas like Elektro and Chernogorsk. The more you'd move in-land. The more goodies you'd find.

    Resenting DayZ

    You have to know which buildings to search. But you're also not going to find loot in every single building. There's a reason it's called an 'apocalypse.'

    Looting broken?

    not when.. 'where'. They spawn where no one looks. Simple.

    Looting broken?

    What you are asking about is persistence. Persistence if items stay in between server restarts. I'll attempt to explain: So lets say you are playing on a non-persistent server. You come across a house and it has two cans of peaches in it. You take the two cans and later on the server reset. If you were to go back to the same house, any items that were in it before despawned and new items spawned inside of the house. Things like tents, backpacks with loot, campfires, and trucks all reset after restarts in a non-persistent server. Lets talk about if the server is persistent. If the server you are on is persistent and you find a can of peaches and you don't take it, upon restart that can of peaches (along with anything else around it) will stay in the game and not despawn. Campfires, backpacks with loot, tents, stashed items, etc. will all remain in the game after a server restart. I won't get too technical but if you want good loot you must look in places that other players don't search that often. You can use the search bar to find any additional information.

    Cooking?

    What you will need: A knife/sharp object or an axe (or both) rags (fire starter basically) matches (to light the fire) You need to combine a stick with a rag to create a fireplace kit. From there you can either use an axe to chop down a tree to get logs, or a knife to get more sticks to use as fuel. (logs last longer) you can also use an axe to chop logs into thirds (sticks) incase you don't have a knife to get sticks from a bush. One you have logs and/or sticks you need to drag them onto your fireplace kit. -To Cook- There are only three ways to cook. You can either find a cooking pan/pot and put it on top of a portable gas stove with a gas canister connected, then put water in the cooking pot and then the meat, then turn on the gas stove and put your cooking pan/pot ontop. or.. You can either find a cooking tripod and cooking pot, to add to your fireplace or.. You can either find just a cooking pot, and dig for 8 stones to turn your fireplace into an oven to place your cooking pot inside of. Once you have what you need to cook, you need to collect meat, put water in your cooking pot and put the cooking pot on the gas stove/in the oven/hanging from the cooking tripod. Videos

    Battle Royale?

    Your question was obviously already answered but ill just answer it again. There won't be anything of the sort in the Vanilla version of DayZ Standalone. But soon enough modders will grab their typing shoes. (ha. ..I'm funny) and make something of the sort. Cheers.

    Dayz Tent Hunting - Great Spot near Electro

    Holy hell. Very impressive find. I hope they returned to their stash and had heart failure due to their missing items. :thumbsup: :lol:

    internet connection

    You really shouldn't have any problems with playing the game. I've seen people with much worse internet connection play DayZ just fine but you must make sure that the servers you play on are strong and stable. If you can I would suggest finding a local or nearby server but for most it doesn't really make a difference. I have a friend and there is a branch of servers that are hosted 80 or so miles away in Dallas, and he plays on them and has no problem with connection. There's this old trick that not many people no that can speed up your internet. Just fill up a glass with some warm distilled water, preferably originally tap, then gently pour water on router/modem and the internet from behind your computer if you have a wired connection. haha, just kidding. don't do that.. But your connection as it is should be just fine. But if you can, try not to be using too much internet in other parts of the house. Netflix on in the other room and no ones watching it? Shut it off for later. Cheers.

    When will the loot be fixed

    The amount of loot in a server depends on persistence, server time, server population, and location. If the sever is 30 minutes from restart on a persistent server with 40 other people on the coast then when you spawn you aren't very likely to find anything. If the server just restarted and there is only 2-3 other people on the server then you should find loot pretty easily on the coast. You just have to put 2 and 2 together. Heading inland always helps, though.

    What is the final goal of this game?

    There are people who stick with the simple "loot up, fight, die, repeat" game style. At one point or another we're all there. But the good thing about this game is that if you think creatively then you can do pretty much whatever you want. If you don't know what to do, sell berries at Vybor. That always ends fun.

    Stop telling folks to take a break.

    It also depends on the type of person. Some people don't like going back in time like that. I personally stopped playing the mod when standalone came out. Considered playing it a time or two but never ended up doing so.

    Told Ya So

    I made a suggestion a while back talking about how zombies should stagger if you hit them. I had a lot of people angry with my suggestion because they said "adrenaline filled zombies aren't gonna flinch when you hit them" But look what's rolling out in .56 hehehe

    horde In Balota Caged, My First DayZ Video

    Damn you. I was playing on experimental and I walked in that hangar, goddammit.

    Priest's Regalia

    Or you could find an infected priest inside of the church, and you could steal his clothes. But what I want is different small leather steel enforced armor pieces that you would put over the priest clothing. That would be sick.

    Question

    I'm sick and I "feel worn out". how do I fix this?
  20. therandomredstone

    Question

    Wow! I never excepted someone to give me such an honest and accurate answer! I tested it out and it cured my sickness, and even gave me the ability to fly! Anyone else reading this, follow what Mookie said!

    Better Bows

    Bows right now are glitch, unfinished, and weak. They need to change a few things to make bows a good alternative for guns. 1) Fix the aiming and firing - Right now aiming and firing a bow is VERY inaccurate and just doesn't feel right. This needs to be fixed. 2) Deadlier - Bows need to be almost entirely silent from up close and COMPLELEY silent when firing from a distance. The only thing you should hear is the arrow wizzing through the night air and hitting your friend in the eyeball. 3) Stronger - Kinda ties in with "Deadlier" but they should conflict more damage. One hit to the chest would make you bleed like crazy, two would knock you out until someone bandages you, otherwise you bleed out. Right now the devs aren't entirely focused on bows but whenever they want players to have different play styles to be able to choose from, this should be on the list.

    Persistence question

    It shouldn't happen for tents, but tents are glitchy, so I wouldn't be surprised if a tent despawns but items in tents will be safe unless someone takes the item or the tent itself despawns.
  23. therandomredstone

    Persistence question

    It's just a slang word for "after every 1-3 restarts loot in the backpack will slowly glitch and despawn, thus slowly removing all items from your backpack after a curtain period of time".

    Submarines

    So submarines should be added to the game. Of course since they're subs they should be really rare and take ALOT of time to put together with different parts and stuff but they would be really rewarding, allowing you to feel better about going to different places in the map. Oh, they should also add underwater bases for the heck of it. Picture of sub:

    Had fun today on DayZ

    This post has brought tears to my eyes. Just the thought of it... a few pals running through Chernarus trigger happy tricking freshies into gaining their trust before putting one between their eyes.. unless they move. Then the bambi vs geared player clusterfuck begins.
