So I Was Wondering... In DayZ standalone, when you want to make sure a bambi, or even a fairly geared survivor doesn't hit you in the back of the head with a storage hammer, you would restrain them, but what if you don't have handcuffs? or you do but no keys? ... THE ANSWER IS... ROPE!!! We should be able to restrain others with rope, and that rope should be able to be cut by the hostage (or the bandit) with a sharp object like a knife, and if you escaped your mugger, it should be fairly easy to break out of the rope.. Fortunately.... This wouldn't be that difficult to add in the game, since its just a different "copy" of handcuffs with a different "picture to it" (rope instead of handcuffs) Any ways, if ropes could be used as restraints in DayZ, there would be TONS more of realistic situations that a survivor might have to experience. whether that player is the one putting on the handcuffs or escaping from them... When the Dev team sees this, this is for you: I hope you take this into consideration, for the sake of realism, and for new experiences.

Unfortunately, not yet. And in most circumstances it would be quite unrealistic. But (you already know this) if they are restrained with a pair of handcuffs, then you can search their bags. But most people (like me) always carry a handgun in their pants, (mines a .357 magnum :D ) and I also carry a stun baton that has a chance of knocking them out! how exiting, but to answer your question, you cant pickpocket currently in DayZ standalone. cheers mate! stay warm and don't lose your beans!

Your Role Play Skills and ability to seem calm when anxiety should take over your nervous system, are quite exquisite. Keep it up and ill by you a beer.

Finding the perfect server in DayZ can be hard, if you don't know what you are looking for. I will give you guess some helpful tips to finding the perfect server for your wanted DayZ experience! First off, find out what type of players you want to be playing with, this is essential to using other methods in order to finding the perfect server: For example, lets say you want to join games where you wont get shot on sight. To finding the right server you can look at multiple things: 1. Server name: The server name means a lot, if the name says "friendly only" then bandits will be crawling all through that server, no good. 2.Number of players: Servers with low amounts of players often means the players in the session want to loot safely, and aren't looking to encounter others, (but they still could shoot you if you startle them!) (watch out for server hoppers at the airstrips!) 3. Role-play? : There are servers out there that want players looking for realism, which means players that wont run at you naked whilst screaming. these servers have names like "realismrp" (actual server) and other names like "RPG players" .bandits don't necessarily target these servers because they respect the people that prefer realistic gaming (most bandits anyways) Hostile Servers: Hostile gamers play usually on large servers (40-40 sessions) if they aren't bandits, they are bambi's that will try to steal your things by whacking you in the head. (servers like these are always full of action but often gets you killed) If you see a server named "Friendly Only! Don't Kill" with max-players, don't join. You will end up dying. I Know I didn't cover every single helpful tip out there for picking the perfect server, but I hope I helped! If you have any helpful tips then share them with us below!

The tips are the "how to find" part. Someone asks you "how do I do this" and you say "this is how to do this" and give them tips. I don't know I cant really explain it! cheers mate! stay warm and don't lose your beans!

Noted. Fixed! Life is fun. You die in DayZ. But you don't feel it. Oh and don't lose your beans!

Most true apocalyptic fans would agree. This game, you see the people with the "survivor" close and what not, then the "full out military-geared people" what there should be is, maybe you would find a gorka E military jacket with its right arm piece torn off, you could put it on, then find a long sleeve, light windbreaker and either cut it's arm piece off and put it on your arm where the jacket doesn't cover, or you could put on the long sleeve windbreaker and then put the gorka jacket ontop. They should have the ability to "tear off right arm" or "tear off left arm" or "tear off both arms" and make a tank top, type thing going on. But the players would be THAT much more unique if they could "combine their clothes" The possibilities are endless... Cheers Mate! Stay Warm and Don't Lose Your Beans! ;) :lol: :beans: :thumbsup:

Thinking...

Vehicles, (lets face it) are going to be chaotic when they are released. there will be MANY MANY glitches and bugs and so on, so worrying about how "realistic" penetration on the vehicles is going to be, isn't the priority, but it is something good to talk about right now. But anyways vehicles I know for A FACT aren't just going to be "perfect one second" and "ashes on the ground" the next. Where a player shoots the vehicle, it determines a lot, if you shoot at the hood, the hood would smoke, and the vehicle would eventually stop working, and when you look under the hood, there will be many things that are ruined or badly damaged that the player has to fix. So what that means is vehicles aren't just going to be a "get it running" then "BOOM its gone" type of deal, they will require constant maintenance, especially if its always getting shot and sniped at while you drive through electo! Cheers Mate! Stay Warm and Don't Lose Your Beans! ;) :lol: :beans: :thumbsup:

actually I've shot through windows many times, it even has this "cracked window animation" when you shoot through it, maybe not ALL windows but I've shot through all the windows that I've tried to. Cheers mate! Stay warm and Don't Lost Your Beans! ;) :lol: :beans: :thumbsup:

The game is still in alpha but you already know that. There are two things that you can do when a game like this glitches out; 1. Deal with it. The simple and hard truth, nothing else to say. or 2. Wait it out, or find a way to resolve it. like switch servers, or get off for 10 minutes and get back on, everything should've smoothed out. You cant NOT no how to solve problems with such a problem-prone game like this. Cheers Mate! Stay warm and Don't lose your beans! ;) :lol: :beans: :thumbsup:

Don't lose your hope.. not all players in the wasted Russian wasteland are evil... not all just wants your goods.. some want companionship.. some would like someone to travel with, to cry their self to sleep with, someone to stay warm with inside of a house that a happy family used to live in, while the undead scrape against the window, trying to get in. Some cant take DayZ alone. some cant manage to survive.. to live.. without you.. YOU.. The next player you see..... Treat them as if you were the reason they died or not, you were the reason for their happiness or not, they are about to die from dehydration, but when you hand them that full canteen of purified water, they get this warm feeling in their stomach.. "is this the one that will save me? be there and jump out of the trees when a bandit is trying to take form me? will he follow me to the end?" when he is done drinking out of the canteen, a connection is made.. one that cant be broke.. He, Is, OUT THERE... Waiting for YOU.. to be their Savior.. Be the one that saved them in their nightmares... Be the one.. by their side.. Have you found the one in the wasteland? tell us how you met.. when the Bond was first sparked....

The game wont get that much harder though at the aspect your looking at it. But they are going to add more of a "fortress" "headquarters" feeling when barricading is added, and months from now when they add in other things. That will make it like rust in a way; going and getting gas, wood planks, etc. and putting it all in the trailer behind your jeep. whatever.

Everything you need to know will come, I cant really answer your questions, but time can!

The game has improved greatly over the last few months, next time your sitting there doing nothing, grab your headset and get to a playin!

The game is in alpha, not everything is perfect. sometimes it will glitch out on you like that but you should stop experiencing this shortly.

So you probably already died by know, but in short, you need to get to the "healthy state" that can be achieved by getting dark green "energized" and no "thirst" status bar, but if you get light green "energized" AND "hydrated" you will receive a dark green "healing state" in which your heath will start to regenerate, but you receive the healing state once you have full heath, which can be achieved by either a blood bag or staying in the "energized" and "hydrated" status. If you decide to get a blood bag, make sure your blood is compatible, make sure you remember your blood too, if you find a blood tester.

Its really a matter of luck, and experience. first of all you NEED to know the right buildings to look in, ALWAYS look in the 2 story, 3 rooms or more houses for mosins, these buildings are always in citys and in smaller towns. So basically you can find mosins and guns anywhere besides small one story houses, and really small 2 story houses. Just stay wary, and you will find one soon! Cheers! Stay warm and don't lose your beans! ;) :lol: :thumbsup: :beans:

So I know exactly what your experiencing, either your clothes are in a bad condition, and you are in a really cold in-game environment, or the server you are on is a bit buggy. what I do when this happened to me (two times) I joined another server, made a fire, got warmed up and when I left the fire warm (when I was wearing warm clothes) my character wasn't glitching anymore. for future reference, since this game is in alpha its going to have a lot of bugs, it is ESSENTIAL to learn how to fix those bugs when they happen, to keep your DayZ experience as fun as possible. Stay warm and don't lose your beans! ;) :lol: :beans: :thumbsup:

The game is new, and not everything is prefect. Ive ran in this problem many times but not at all recently. Just be patient!

I actually have Mad World on my phone and sung it for the talent show, but a WAYY better song is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6tlXRJTdz4 I actually listened to it while writing my post!

Persistence is still a work in process with its flaws, if I were you id wait till the next patch, then see what type of issues people are having, then decide weather or not you would like to start "dropping things'

Learn This NOW..... Most of you already know this. But if you are new to dayz then READ CAREFULLY: If you are just starting out in the apocalyptic wasteland, no doubt you've day dreamed about teaming up with someone and fighting to the end. That is possible, however you will die more times in DayZ than you can count, before that right person comes along.. DayZ is a dangerous game. when people see you most likely they think "loot" or "wants my loot" either way will end up in them trying to kill you. and half of the time they will succeed. Even if a player says friendly and assures you they are. I bet money they are thinking "when will this fu**er turn around?" so they can hit you in the back of the head, and take what they need to survive. 99% of people will lie to their selves when they see another person and think that I found the right guy" or "aww he wont kill me or try to" but you will ALWAYS be wrong. even if a player has broken legs and you mend him, he will try to kill you. Unless they truly feel, "I owe this guy" which still in the end they might think "he's gonna try something" or "why am I wasting my time with this bozo?" You probably already learned this the hard way, but if you haven't... Take Heed.... Now.... Tell us the first time YOU learned YOUR lesson never to trust others IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW! :thumbsup: :beans:

Around X-Mas time vehicles will be released, only one im pretty sure, a military transportation carrier type pickup im sure.
