For me the fun thing (part of) about games is the learning how to play it .. . . the exploration as you learn the mechanics of the game . . You start out as a noob, not knowing where to get water, guns etc and finish as an expert knowing about illnesses, bases, specific map locations, cars etc.. . . relatively there are no end of youtube videos and walkthroughs available, Im not really sure how much more you need. . .

re DLC and new maps, Spaggie already has Deer Isle on vanilla. Doesnt seem to be so popular, its running between 10 and 20 players max daily . .. A possibility that might work (ok, for me) is if you buy the vanilla, you get Chernarus, if you buy the DLC you get an extension to the map and possible higher tier weapons etc (The whole south Zagoria/ChernoRussia map with mountains, cold climate and other terrain). For me, because of the way DayZ is a "long strategy game" with no real endgame, an extension to the current map allows people with time invested in the current map to continue and go further (from a DayZ total player base over the years to present of 4m players). I would buy this. New players can learn the ropes on the base Chernarus map. So you could go off into the wilds in the new map and build bases etc, without necessarily being disturbed by those players interested in the short game (PVP at NW airfield or wherever). This would involve both new and old players without disruption. The players with bases off in the wilds wouldnt/couldnt be disturbed so much . . . looking back, I only bought Arma2 because of the mod. I bought Arma3 because I liked Arma 2, but didnt like it so much. I definitively didnt buy any of the DLC they brought out for Arma3. If its DLC for Dayz like Arma3, I wont be buying it either .. .

Kamenka to Komarovo shoes go from worn to damaged - mixed terrain beach and road In my opinion duct tape needs to be extended from only four uses in line with other repair kit rebalancing . . . rebalancing of the size of the repair kits in the back pack would also be nice. The extension of the number of uses would reduce hoarding of items in the back pack. Before the shoes wearing out issue, I would carry several sewing kits, leather sewing kits, duct tape etc for use. When the shoes started wearing out, I couldnt do anything but use the duct tape bug . . . For me shoe life has clearly been extended, but still not enough a repair box/es that goes on the belt . .. . . .

This is one of my recent cars . . . . it was parked the right way up. . . . . . The second one completely disappeared . . . . (a fully built one, no not another player) this is my first car (in a long while, I decided to try them again) its in Kamyshovo harbour . . .. . and no I didnt drive it there This is how it looked above water .. . . But cars are great for saving the old shoe leather . . . . .

thanks, I raised a ticket too .. .

I posted this on another thread . .. With the following bug fix - https://feedback.bistudio.com/T135100 - Duct tape glitch reported as fixed (no release date yet) a whole raft of things are likely to be affected. Hopefully a whole raft of things will have their lifetimes reviewed. Axe - is it five trees? Its been a while since I built a base. The hatchet was my go to tool as you could repair it easily and use it as a hammer and an axe . . Hammer - three panels? as above. Some way of repairing it would be nice . . . . Knives - goes badly damaged far too fast tin opener - eight tins is it? shoes - Ive just walked from Kamenka to Cherno (something like eleven klicks) . I must have repaired my shoes over ten times . .. clothes - After almost every encounter I have with an infected person, some article of my clothing or equipment is in a damaged state. On the stated walk, I encountered more than a few Infected who decided to engage. Must be approaching 30 infected ... my steak knife, clothes. backpack, shoes must be just duct tape now . . .. . silencers - silencer goes badly damaged far too soon, that goes for the fabricated silencer too guns - gun similarly goes badly damaged far too soon did I miss anything? On this basis with the potential ending of the Duct tape glitch, the game will require you to be carrying vast amounts of repair materials, either lots of duct tape rolls or separate toolkits - Leather toolkit, sewing kit, duct tape, gun cleaning kit, epoxy putty. electronic repair kit etc. Especially for those of us who usually stay on the edges of the map far from towns . . . It would be nice if these repair kits also had their lives extended. Instead of four uses, if it could become like the chlorine tablets (10 tabs) or better - 20 uses ? Maybe also a visual condition light green orange or red above the item instead of mousing over it or seeing the deterioration? As it stands now, I stop and take stock of every item before I move on . .. . after an encounter. Thats a lot of time with me standing there playing tetris with my equipment . . . I wouldnt change what duct tape can fix or how often. With the boots recently getting damaged fast, without the duct tape glitch, I wouldnt have gone anywhere. . . . Normally I use the toolkits . . .. . I had to use the duct tape. And my boots are still wearing out too fast . . .

As of 1.04 on pc, its not back in the game yet

SKS', SG5's and UMP's are the new main weapons . . . with the Mosin, Tundra, and 527 if you want a sniper. Saying that, the shotgun is great for one shot dropping zombies at short range .. . . if a bit loud and its absolutely everywhere

do you have a link to something on how to get that to work?

I do the swim fairly regularly, to both islands. Its quieter The barracks are still there, four in total, One in the western island in the prison compound (showers and rooms) and three on the eastern island (just rooms). A military prison/camo building and a police guardhouse also on the eastern island. But I only ever see pistols, sg5s, skorpions and umps there, ergo tier 1/2. I have never seen an SKS there which is tier 2/3. There was a DayZ video which showed the tiering structure on the map, last year.

the prison island is only a tier 1 tier 2 location. Only civilian or police guns spawn on skalisty. The M4/AKM is a tier 3 or 4 location spawn From what I understand, the nominal is the max allowed. It doesnt care about other weapons. For a location, it will have multiple items allocated to spawn through that point. Priority must be set somehow . .. The flags give you where the system counts. So for the M4, nominal 10. flags to count are in map, in hoarder (dont know what this is) and in cargo (tents, cars etc). So if there are 10 flags set, no more will spawn. Interestingly, it doesnt count those carried by the player for the M4.

Being on pc, it would be nice to have an auto run, or something to toggle sprint, run or walk. Ive gone from having a sticky "W" key to weights on the keyboard (I got a new keyboard, it was time .. .) Its a pain holding the "W" and "shift W" etc over large parts of the map

food - sure it would be nice for food to reflect reality (currently its always pristine). The fruit, mushrooms and growing stuff can maybe reflect the time on the server. Green when first spawned through to rotten just before it despawns . . . Hopefully a whole raft of things will have their lifetimes reviewed.

good luck. . .

Try the win 7, works fine for me with that chip and about the same graphics card .. . . sounds like youve tried most other stuff . . .

@Wingfan as a heads up 80% of the people I have met have either tried to kill me or actually kill me . .. so its pretty much a bad roll of the dice . .. . which you get. The good guys Ive played with in game, Ive mostly met on or through the forum

there has been some muttering on other forums re win 10 may release and nvidia drivers. You might want to try looking for that, or maybe roll back win 10 to the last version .. . . you have the same release graphics driver as I do but I am on win 7 . . . am resisting the shift to win 10 still .. . .

In a word, DayZ wiki. I still use it . . . . . . its not always up to date but ... its getting closer . . . https://dayz.gamepedia.com/DayZ_Standalone_Wiki

DDR3? You have a Z170E motherboard from ASUS. You mean DDR4 or?

if you drink too fast/much from a well you will throw up. Its not an illness, you just have to slow your drinking down. Drink a bit, wait, drink some more etc Human meat - brain disease - no cure infected meat - salmonella, vomiting - charcoal tabs wear gloves or clean your hands contaminated water - cholera, vomiting - tetracycline water can be purified with chlorine tabs Infection - bandage with dirty rags you will also get an infection - tetracycline 50% effective Rags arent necessarily sterile, bandages should be. You can use the disinfectant or alcohol tincture now

Sure, as long as the barrel is empty. Either or. Never had any trouble burying wooden boxes either. Burying near trees can be problematic.

didnt work for me, but Ive kinda given up re building for a while. My last build was 1.03 . . . I logged on one day, and it was all gone. The walking across the map with a back pack full of wood was not too funny either I now have two tents and three barrels deep in a woody area .. . . . . . so far the wolves have left me alone .. . no walls. Carrying the barrels was fun enough amusingly I now have seven boxes of nails . . . . . . I just keep finding them now

I showed this in another post .. .

Yep, I only build walls now if I have to. . . .. . wolves. I try to keep it low profile so no one can see. I bury stuff away from the base so theres nothing to rob And whatever happens, after 45 days the walls will go anyway .. . .

On PC some of the community servers are now running between 80 and 110 players capability. Maybe they will do the same for Xbox?
