I haven't legitimately played DayZ in quite a while. In fact, I've forgotten a lot about it. But I know I used to like RP servers. I've played on many different ones over the years, DayZRP was a fun one back in the day and I'm glad to see it's still going strong. As for what I'm looking for, I don't have many suggestions but here are some. Preferences Populated servers Bridge to Prison Island Established groups, clans, etc. Interesting characters No KOS However, these are not set in stone. I like servers that can be lax with rules and I like servers that are more strict, it's really a toss-up. KOS-friendly Zones are more than welcome. I would just really like to find an active community that is more fun and attention-maintaining than the regular servers. I lose interest quickly playing regularly. I don't trigger easily, I'm pretty chill, and I just wanna have fun in this game again. Want to freely advertise your RP server? Here's your chance. I live in the midwest, in Kansas, so hopefully there are some servers I can play with decent ping on.

Hey, this sounds fun! I'm absolute shit at PVP but ayyyy. Let's give it a whirl.

Dude. Exp has me about ready to blow my brains out. VOIP suddenly is super quiet but the crickets and birds (which sound oddly tropical) are ridiculously loud.

That was a thing of beauty.

That was so incredibly sweet of them, wow. You lucky duck.

What a pretty sign. I haven't ever dabbled in modding but if I did, it'd probably be little decorative things or something to do with character customization.

^ No such animal. However, I like the DayZ Underground EU server more than the US server because I feel like I meet less pricks there. First time on the server, got taken hostage by a militant group at NWAF, but they were incredibly nice and gave me a warm welcome to the server before letting me run off safely away from gunfire at tents. EDIT: Also, look into roleplay servers.

These guys know what's up. My tips are basically what they've already said. Don't initiate by saying "I'm friendly." No one who has ever said that to me in the history of this game has ever actually been friendly. If someone walks up on me, I start with some small banter. "Hey, you good?" or "hey, did you just come in from [insert town here]? What was it like?" However, sometimes asking about location can backfire, so just be prepared for that. As someone who has been the "lightly geared guy" bait before, I can attest that pretending you know how the game works makes you less of a target. If you're dancing around it, at least you'll be harder to hit. I find it funny and sometimes annoying but A) I've been the bait so biased and B) I can't expect people to trust me in this game so I gotta suck it up. Tips for surviving a bait encounter: the bait will most likely ask questions to keep you focused on them, rapid-fire so they force you to scramble your thoughts. Sometimes, you can hear an edge in their voice. In my case, I sometimes sounded edgy when I played this role because my team would be talking in TS and it would become overwhelming to keep up with both convos. Because of this, I'd either talk uninspiredly to the victim or even ask questions again. Watch out for that. Dead giveaway. Sometimes you can hear someone's teamspeak convo through their mic, not sure why. Listen for it though. If it is just a robbery, compliances usually works for me. I do feel that I have an unfair advantage as a female player, though, so I could never guarantee that anyone else's success rate will be as high as mine. I talk a lot, if they'll entertain it, and force them to view me in either a friendly light or a non-threatening light (sometimes playing the "scared" angle works out). If your baiter doesn't move around when you get too close, they are most likely baiting the fuck out of you. They feel comfortable knowing they have someone to kill you if you should knock them out, assuming you're a freshie. If you have a weapon and they offer you this trust, they probably have snipers trained on you. I can't second the "don't let your guard down when they offer something" thing enough. I fall for this all the time. Not so much because I don't expect it, but because I want to trust them. Big mistake. If they drop an item, move around a lot whilst picking it up. Or just say you don't need it.

- Advanced movement. I'd love to see my character run into someone and their shoulder kick back in response or for them to jump over things fluidly or maybe even clumsily trip here or there. It'd suck in combat, though. - Character Customization. A few more options would be nice, even if it's just picking out a general face shape and hair color. - I'm on the fence about implementing character interactions and more gestures. I don't think they've said much about interactions before (idk, they could have, I didn't research) but part of me thinks it'd be cool to have different interactive interactions (example: hugging, shoving, simple motions, etc.) but the other part of me sees that DayZ's player interaction level is working where it's at so I don't know.

What's the server pop at it's highest? Also, where should I go to find out more?

Awesome vid! This was so much fun.

We look so snazzy.

^ Before the update, I ran DayZ on a Radeon HD 4650. Shittily, but it ran enough for me to play. As long as I didn't fuck around in cities too much, I was okay. Firefights were hit or miss because my game would freeze up constantly. My card only supports DX10 so I'm having to upgrade (which should've been done a long time ago anyway) but the way I'm choosing to look at it is in this way: 1.) The game will most likely be much better optimized for me once I do upgrade and 2.) Many newer games are gonna need better GPUs so I'll eventually knock out two birds with one stone. What's your current graphics card, if you don't mind me asking?

Since I started playing this game, I've been warned of crazy, aggressive Russian bandits. I think most people receive the same warning before they play as a sort of joke but I wanted to present a bit of a query for you all: What are your experiences with Russians? Mine have been mostly positive. Only once has a Russian killed me and it was due to a language barrier. I've met several others that have been either friendly or silent but non-aggressive. I look forward to meeting Russkies because they seem to be much friendlier to me, relatively. To be one hundred percent honest, the worst experiences I've had with players of different nationalities have been on the Sudestada´s Choice ARMY server.

My buddy Jake jokingly said this is how I'd be able to follow his trail because I'm constantly getting lost. But he just looks like the bringer of storms to me. Being taken hostage. Luckily, my buddy knows where I am because my captor wasn't incredibly sneaky. If I remember correctly, he shot at my friend but didn't check to make sure he was dead. Rekt.

I'm occasionally having this problem as well, not sure why. Usually I just start task manager and click back on DayZ and I can see it for a few minutes.

I'm not saying shit-talking is something to be proud of, or necessary at all, but fuck it. Do you talk shit/taunt in-game? If you do, when do you initiate? Are you a constant shit-talker or do you wait until your jimmies are rustled? I don't talk shit unless people try to kill me on sight and repeatedly miss me. You deserve to hear me mock you. The funny thing is I've never been a shit-talker in any other game, but DayZ brings about the worst in me.

I've never understood those kids that are that naturally aggressive in everything they do and when they get angry they just fling out anything to offend someone. It's stupid.

Weapons training in Elektro with a fun lady. "Paint me like one of your French girls." Standoff.

I did a search for you but as I've not dealt with this particular issue before, I can't promise results. Try some of the fixes discussed here.
