HarryPotter (DayZ)

From my limited experience I have found 1. Get a rain coat ASAP, they spawn by the upturned rowing boats all along the coast. 2. Get a hat. Motorbike helmet is best. 3. If you get wet change your clothes. 4. Running about is easier than lighting a fire to get warm. 5. Food... Lately I've found rice, peaches and fizzy drinks get you in a good state quickly. Then just top up as you go along. But in general just eat everything you come across. In a pinch you can get apples from trees. 6. Make a stone knife when you spawn on the beach. Use it open cans of food. 7. Zombies... You can kill them with your fists if you have to, just run round them in circles and punch them in the head. Get an axe, shovel, sledge hammer etc soon as you can. 8. When it comes to guns the repeater is king in my book. Loads of ammo good stopping power and accuracy and it holds 11 rounds. You don't need to go anywhere dangerous for it or to get ammo! 9. Other players. Hide and start interactions from cover!!

Please please please Before you release the zombie hoards Fix the hot key menu so that I get my axe out without getting nailed. The buttons seem unresponsive, my character has to stand still to select a new weapon and then half the time puts it away again :( In the meantime Mr zed ruins my clothes!! Anyone else think the hotkey menu is very very buggy?

This also ;)

Hey man I'm a friendly player. I always try to help people out

Completely agree on the seeing over the wall thing... It's B/S and needs to be taken out the game some how. I do enjoy 1pp servers. Ive been playing RO Darkest hour for years and that deffinatly has no 3pp so I do love playing in the 1st person

I suppose they could make them really really hard to fly.. Like the real thing, so most of us normal survivors would not bother to fly them

The thing is with FOV and 3pp is that in game it's really hard to have that sence of what's around you in the same way you do in real life... So these things help to give you a proper sence of peripheral vision (well for me anyway)

I think it would fit the realism aspect just fine. But no gunships please just transport choppers in very very limited numbers like maybe 1 or 2 in every 48 hour (our hours in the real world) period? Obviously fuel would have to be really hard to come by and only spawn at the airfields and they would need to be beat up as hell and prone to fail....

I cant imagine anything that would make this game worse than a levelling up system.... just not my thing at all. They RUINED RO by putting in a levelling up system in the 2nd instalment!! Its just utter bollocks. You should get better at stuff because you get better at it not because you reach a new level... (imo) I think 100 players on a sever would be good some day though....

The thing is it not just running through the shut door... It's the fact they see you through the walls from 500 feet THEN come running through the door. But I get the idea zombies as we know them right now are not the same zombies we are going to get soon (i hope) the ones we have now are more of a token gesture...

2000 zeds across the server sounds really good IF the zeds loose that ability to see you from 1000 yards while you are in a bush..... conversely some seem so blind that you can walk up to them unnoticed and stick an axe in their head? So I suppose if the AI is spot on it will be ace. I for one cant wait not to be kos by 99% of players with a gun especially when I'm a freshie with no weapons!! They will need to sort out the hand to hand combat mechanics though, it still feels really rough at the moment.... I was thinking the other day it would be cool to be able to sneak up behind players and cut their throats/break necks etc for proper stealth.

lmao

We should have a list of best servers somewhere

Like everyone else has said .... Play a private server or deal with the bullshit that's on public. Really public is just for laughs and being a dick whereas private is actualy playing the game (imho)

You sir are a damn fine shot

'they took everything from me.... Especially my clothing' haha that's epic :)

I for one could not play ARAM3 as I could not get my head round all the stuff you needed to play on certain servers! I'm a right spaz with computes

RAINCOAT :)

Love it mate, good work!

I can't stand server hopping and will only place full private servers...makes it a bit harder ;)

If you find an sks then you will need to go to a military sight to get any good amount of ammo (a quick dash into the tent city will do) If you get a lower grade gun like a mosin or repeater or magnum etc you can find ammo everywhere. If you really want big stuff like m4's AK's etc then, good luck.

Just s thought on the memory crashes.. I used to get this on a few games and someone off the darkest hour 44-45 server I play on suggested I get use a program called large address aware and I never get this issue anymore? May be worth a try..

I think the gun+clip thing is a bit unrealistic.. If you owned an sks or mosin etc surly you would also own a clip and ammo? But I get why it's like that in the game, to make it harder and I like that.... But every now and again you should find the whole lot together loaded in a gun with a scope etc

Ive still never been. I will maker over there one day but I haven't been everywhere on the main map yet....

I'm friendly and don't really kos unless I think I'm in the shit. If somone is sniping me I will try to track them down. If I see a gun battle I might try to get involved but I never just kill for fun. Last night I got killed as a freshie by two geared players AFTER they gave me food and clothes! Why do this?? I also had a good encounter with another player. He was lost and I helped him out. We ran together for a bit but I tried to keep my distance. I had been following for a while before I moved in to talk to him. I opened the interaction telling him this which I think showed I ment no harm as I could of killed him if that was my thing! On the flip side I did kill a guy with a long shot outside cherno. He had an sks and I'm sure he had been causing trouble as there has been a lot of action in town (that ended in a pretty good gun fight with his buddies). I suppose it just depends on the situation. But I try as much as possible to be good to other players :)
