There's hardcore mode. And some people don't turn around for curtain reasons. Maybe they are in the heat of battle and just saw an enemy run around the corner, or they are about to execute someone. I've snuck up behind people countless times and knocked them out and stuff. But having them in a headlock: where they couldn't do anything but we could still talk and I could knock them out whenever I wanted to. Maybe even kill them.. THAT would be cool.

A million people play this game. They can play it just fine. Adjust your video setting in-game. If you've already tried then just suck it up. I had to for 6 months because my fps was so bad I could barely kill zombies with a fire axe because the game was so laggy. But know I can play it on the highest setting for everything and still play the game super smooth in and out of cities. 0 Lag. This is what you need in order to play the game smoothly -A good CPU comes first -then a good graphics card -then ram, even though there is more and less things it helps with.. Its complicated.

So the other day I witnessed a player get murdered, I saw the killer run up to the body and was starting to loot it, I had been running so my player was out of breath. I was in a 'backyard' of a small little house, when I was aiming and waiting till I catched my breath I wished I could prop my gun up on the wooden fence, which would give me a more steady shot, I think if you are in a house, in a backyard, on a deer-stand, the roof of a building, etc. You should be able to prop or 'lay' your gun on a fence or some sort of slab for a more steady aim.

There are matches in this game, and there is gas canisters in this game. These are the things you will need: -Matches -Lighter (when they are implemented) -Gas Canister -An alternative to the Matches and Lighter, is a gun All you have to do is simply pour the gas down onto the road or concrete, you can do it whilst walking (like in GTA V) and when you are done, light the gas or shoot it, and the ground will catch on fire! and anyone who enters it starts screaming, losing health at a consistent rate until they jump in water or the flame wears off. -This will be good for roadblocks -signals (to start a fight, move in, etc.) -Traps: "ooh a fire, let me get a closer loo--" You Are Dead.. -Role Play: Imagine two insane players with masks on, chainsaws, and were lighting the ground on fire before chasing you.. Pretty scary. If this is added, I know it wont be any time soon. It's too complex for the stages that DayZ is currently in.

wink wink was in the arma 2 mod. Its going to be brought over eventually.

I discovered both of these out myself 5 or so years ago, then I started seeing all of these videos everywhere about them. The can Idea, you could use a screwdriver, two soda cans, alcohol tincture, and duct tape. This is a pretty neat little stove but will not be added in because we already have the Portable Gas Stove, and as for the steel wool to start a fire, I think that could work. They could add in steel wool to the game and instead of matches you could use this.

Does anyone know how long it takes plants to grow?

Your character will shake if you are cold, a cannibal, sick, or have a broken or injured arm. This is how you troubleshoot the situation: Cold: Heat up a fire and wait by it till it says that you are hot, then aim and see if the shaking is still there. Cannibal: if you are a cannibal (laughing and crying because you ate human meat) the only cure from the shaking is to have a gun out, press F11, and Left Click on your mouse. But most people choose to deal with the shaking, in this situation. Sick: If it says that you are "Sick" on your inventory, antibiotics and charcoal tabs and such will cure you. They can be found in the smaller hospitals but are less common if you look for them in houses and such. Broken limb: if it says "Fracture" in your inventory or "My Arm Hurts" on the bottom left hand side as a status, then you have to craft a splint "sticks and rags" and apply it to yourself. You can also use morphine but that is harder to come across. If the shaking persists after doing all of these things, drop all of your stuff, then pick it all back up, and if that doesn't work (waay more risky) drop all of your stuff, leave the game, join back and put your stuff back on. If the problem still persists, hide in a bush on the coast, press F11 and left click. Then go get your stuff back. Cheers. Stay Safe

They probably will, they will be rare though. It's not every day you find a Teddy Bear lying around in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse. +1

You should go to this link I am about to give you and memorize the controls, just stare at it for a good 5 minutes. then do something else, then 10 minutes later stare at it some more. http://guides.gamepressure.com/dayz/guide.asp?ID=15595 I am going to tell you this now, DayZ takes place in a zombie apocalypse, there are so many killers and bandits that even the good guys don't know who to trust and have their hand on their gun whenever they see you. If you find someone, it's best to avoid them unless you want to kill them and take their stuff. Or if they look like they are in trouble, you could go up and help them, take it as an opportunity to stab them in the back, or still avoid them. Before you make any decisions that involve player interaction, always think of the possible outcomes and what to do in each situation. Also think of the gain and loss of what happens if you try to help, avoid, or kill someone you find. It takes a lot of thinking when you play this game, especially if you want to stay alive for as long as possible. Watch YouTube videos, I recommend https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_vT9JXBStNOchHwN5cYkqw he has videos on different situations and might train you and give you some 2nd hand experience on situations. Stay Safe.

I beg the differ, this game is all about realism, correct? One of the side goals for this game is to have the least bit of situations where a player goes "in real life I could do this." If you were out of breath in real life and you were tying to shoot something and you were RIGHT by a fence, obviously you would prop your weapon up against it, your excuse for "CoD Mentality" isn't very logical. You could easily use this feature to hunt animal, to defend yourself against bandits, to protect your friend who was getting attacked, and you ran across an entire field to get to him! You think that the only people that would use this, are the bad people that sit and camp fresh spawns, and that is not true. And did I say "instant no sway"? no I did not, I said "it would steady the aim drastically. Not make your gun perfectly still, and besides, this is DayZ, its a PvP world. I think everyone will disagree with your statement.

Pistol suppressor can be found in teddy bears as well.

Hehe, hey kid, the game is in ALPHA TESTING not beta. By what you posted you know absolutely nothing about this game and how this stuff works you ignorant little f*ck. Saying "oh they use the same game engine and hive", I don't even know how to respond to that. So I'll teach you: Everyone who plays DayZ has a character, their character is stored basically in two places, the central hive and their computer. In their computer in the DayZ folder in your documents there is a document called "PlayerName.vars.DayZProfile" this is where it stores what your character has, when you play DayZ, the central hive doesn't have your player "memorized" so it says "hey computer, what does this guy have?" and the computer says "look in this "PlayerName.vars.DayZProfile! it shows all this guys items. Then the central hive is like "oh yeah! I remember this guy! this item is pristine, and this item is badly damaged!" Then you are able to join a server and play on your player, and when you are done the Central Hive goes "ok, this is what this guy has now" and the computer says "oh! thanks! I'll make sure to write all this stuff down, in his PlayerName.vars.DayZProfile!" The reason people's characters get swiped, is because sometimes when they join a server, for some reason their character hasn't completely connected with the Central Hive, so since it isn't connected to the Central Hive, the game just gives the player a new character, if they player leaves the server before the Central Hive gets a chance to re-connect, you will still have your character. But in most cases as soon as it loads in the new character, the server re-reconnects to the central hive and your character is over written and what was once a fully geared Rambo, is now a fresh spawn on the coast. Now that I am done teaching you this.. You said "get over yourself, would you?" there's nothing for me to get over about! I'm not angry, I'm still content with the game. When my character got wiped I just shrugged and said "oh well" and geared up again. You said "No matter what happens people's character will get deleted or resetted until the problem is 100% fixed" and there truly isn't a problem. It's just about how fast the server connects to the Central Hive. Your ignorant and benighted posts make me sick. Get off these forums if all you are going to do is post senseless garbage, you uneducated little prick.

That must really suck. Badly.. My regular mode character I have had for over 5 MONTHS now, crazy right? But on the bright side re-gearing is super fun! I role-played it out when my hardcore character got swiped, I 'pretended' that he got mugged and was left with nothing. But if you don't have full military stuff, then you can do more in cities. I've mugged two fully geared douchebags yesterday. They were in a bathroom in an apartment together and I said "we got 3 guys aimed at the door with Ak101's, come out WITH YOUR FUC**NG HANDS UP and you will get out of this alive. If you try to kill us, you will die, and lose all of your shit instead of just some of it. They came out with their hands up, I handcuffed them, took what I wanted and a fresh spawn ran up to get revenge on the guys because they had killed him! The freshie was pretty startled when he saw that his killer was already getting mugged, the fresh spawn had said that he thought they were friendly because they said so and they shot him in the back of the head after he had trusted them (he was pretty new to the game). I ended up letting the fresh spawn take whatever he wanted from the bodies and I told him to get lost. Then I uncuffed the geared guys and told them all of their guns would be on the bottom floor. And all I had was a Blaze 95 Double Rifle, a black hoodie, wellies, and hunter pants. So I believe that if you just go for it, you'll be geared up in no time.

Don't call them Bambi's, they have a gun, good clothes and food. A Bambi is whenever you had just spawned in the game but I agree. Also not everyone is like these pricks, they will get killed so often that they will learn that being friendly gets you places. You either have to be a super good veteran DayZ player to be a successful, constant bandit. Or you are just a dumbass pvp player that kills people and takes some of their stuff that they didn't ruin in the firefight prior.

With the addition of all these new towns, I think I can actually feel safe enough to go with a friend and set up a full out camp in a house in a random town somewhere with a campfire, portable gas lamps, a cooking tripod and pot and stuff. It'll be fun because I'm used to setting up camps in sheds deep in the thick forests of Chernarus. But now that there isn't basically two dumb towns in the game. People can be more spread out. So thanks for sharing these pictures with us! Doing kind deeds like this must take a lot of dedication, and I don't know where you get your motivation from, its not like you get paid to take these screenshots or anything.

There was a DDOS attack yesterday, it messed up the servers but I think they should be 99% running smoothly tomorrow, today it was lagging and Desynch like a bitch and my god damned character got reset. I think people's characters are going to glitch around for the next two or so days but since you already got wiped then I'm pretty confident to say that It probably wont happen again. I was too busy telling people they're character isn't permanently reset that my character had reset. So you're not going to get your character wiped for a loongg time I'm guessing. Oh juust do you know, there is an Official Scheduled Central Hive Character Wipe sometime in the first week of 2015. They are doing it right before the release of the 0.53 stable update which changes up the way loot spawns and I'm pretty sure they're adding in the SVD sniper which they said they would add in SUPER DUPER FUCKING RARE once they fixed loot spawning which is the first update this January. Just wanted to let you know.

If you are English like me and you might not of understood what he was saying, I can translate: He was saying how over a zombies life of just 'sitting there till a player comes' they should evolve. Go from the most stupidest things on the planet, and 20 minutes later be sniffing and flanking you from 1200 meters away. This obviously will not be added into the game. After zombies coordination, skeletal system, sight and hearing system, Desynch system, and spawning all get 100% fixed and stuff, zombies will not be worked on in any major way. I understand this is a zombie game and all. But it's also about realism and survival, not only would a zombie that was once a normal human be able to sniff you across the map be completely unrealistic and virtually impossible, but it would be a million times harder to survive. Lets say a Bambi joins the game 30 minutes before restart, zombies would of been 'fully evolved' by now and lets say you are on the suicide silo on the east coast in prone mode, lets say the Bambi was walking along, minding his own business, and out of nowhere 6 super genius adrenaline-rage rushed undead cannibals are jumping out of the trees and chasing the poor bastard... ahh.. that would be entertaining. But this physically cant be added into the game and if it was it would just ruin the game mentally and ruin the realistic effect. This isn't COD Nazi Zombies mixed with Resident Evil for fuck sake...

This game is completely unscripted. There are no instructions, tutorials, anything of the sort. There is only descriptions of in-game items, that is all the help a player truly needs. This game is about realism, in real life during a zombie apocalypse if you came across a pristine M4A1, do ya think you would know every single little stat about it off the top of your head? You're not Eugene Porter from the Walking Dead, mate. You have to conduct trial and error to learn how to use something. Me personally, If I ever find something I'm not too sure about, or I want to know more about it, I go on YouTube and watch showcases on the item. I catch up on it and how to use it real fast. A true veteran who is fully geared in DayZ sure as hell wouldn't die from a fucking grenade! They are veterans for a reason; if they didn't know something about something they would get on YouTube or reddit or something to find information about the item. So since this suggestion will not ever be implemented, my advice for you is (even though I HATE the word and its stereotypical birthplace) YOLO!!! Just go for it and if you die... hmm.. guess I didn't think my advice to you thoroughly enough...

There currently is only a few bandanas that can be untied and tied together as a facemask, the bandana caps, however cannot be untied. Because in their name it is called Bandana *Cap*. But the Bandanas that can be untied include the Green Bandana, the Black Bandana (the one with the white deigns over it), the Purple Bandana (has white polka dots), and the white Bandana (which I haven't found yet and is reasonably rare). But to just keep everything simple, if you run across a bandana OR a bandana cap, just right click it and see if you can untie it. If you can't, then oh well. But if you can untie it and turn it into a facemask then go right ahead! Cheers.

The suppressor for the M4A1 is called a Suppressor 556 and is a rare loot item that can only be found at Helicopter Crash Sites. Since its Rare and not Very Rare, you can find it at 4-6 out of every 10 crash sites that you stumble across. The suppressor for the pistol can be found in General Military Loot and is Rare. It can also be commonly found in Teddy Bears under the Christmas Trees that are spread along major cities in Chernarus. Suppressors for any AK variant (just a wild guess) can possibly commonly be found at Helicopter Crash Sights, and Very Rarely in places such as Barracks. (update, suppressors for any AK Variant, NATO, and pistols can be found in teddy bears under the Christmas trees)

Thanks! Sustenance keeps people alive. Alive is good. You are alive. Therefore you are good. But bad people like bandits. are dead inside. therefore they are NOT good. But you give beans. which means you are too much alive. Therefore you are too much good. Thanks friend!

I'm an older fella too, those youngsters are way to aggressive now a days.. my first game was Grand Theft Auto IV which I had gotten four or so years ago. Didn't really take any convincing.. my grandpa was cool that way. ;)

The AKS-74U, AKM, CR527 Carbine, Mosin 9130, SKS, M4A1, AK101, and the AK74 are all the guns that can be wrapped with the Ghillie Gun Wrap.

there are shoes, vests, backpacks. But more would be nice, different variants of genres of clothes, ex: Three different types of vests, boots, moccasins, long sleeve, T-shirt, etc.
