Food

Me and my group have become a walking library and are in an unending search for a pristine copy of each book. We have a special pond where read our books with the light of a gas lamp. It's real snazzy, but we could use some more books to read. We only want pristine quality though, we can accept nothing less than perfection for our reading sessions. Fellow book collectors are welcome to join our book club. If your mountain backpack isn't full of pristine quality books, you're just a filthy casual.

I usually quickly log off when I hear a bullet whiz past my head.

Currently it takes 10 minutes TOPS to get fully kitted out and maybe another 10 to get all the food you will ever need. Not sure if we're playing the same game...

You shot fresh spawns with a sniper rifle. No book in hotbar = No beans for you. Real snipers always carry a book.

Well before the 24/7 day servers I never even saw daylight in the game. It was a good 3-4 days before I saw light. For now, since it's alpha, just leave the day time servers.

Reading. Me and my group have a nice book club going. We all meet at the pond near prud set down a gas lamp on a night server and read some classic literature. I love the disappointed reactions I get from my killers when all they find is books.

You should select a home server on starting a character. This server you will automatically connect to, to switch servers you need to change homeservers which should be a 10 minute or so process. This prevents server hopping, ghosting, and creates a reason to stay tied to servers. The only issue would be if your home server is full :/ I'm sure there could be a good solution for that. But I think that should be added in eventually to solve a lot of issues.

I would just use Virtual audio cable set as my default device and then on teamspeak us my actual mic. So I'd still be super sneaky

Better hope you have some disinfectant spray to drink

My best guess would be Chernarus.

Step 1. Find a Hatchet Then run in the open until you hear sniper fire. Locate its source. Now run behind a building and make a stealthy get-away. The typical DayZ sniper isn't intelligent enough to change locations. Now Flank them hatchet to the back of the skull. Boom, you're geared up

I strongly believe in the PC Master-race, and I think DayZ on Console is a bad idea. Let's be honest, the console community sucks (I know, but I used to play console and then I got a PC and my world was changed as I knew it). They couldn't handle a game like DayZ, the all want Cheats and 10th prestige 1337 hax and gold guns. <--- not what DayZ is about. My little Cousin watches all the people on youtube use their scripts and whatnot in Dayz and that's what he thinks the game is. Nothing but PVP and 50 cal. Rifles. You die and get your stuff back, NOT what DayZ is all about. Not the mention how watered down the game would be. (AND WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS MORE 10 YEAR OLD KIDS SCREAMING IN THE MIC?!?!?! which is what the console consists of and will bring to the DayZ community.)

That's ok, I often have dreams my friends are hoarding cars in forests and I need to find them so I can steal them. I usually find them right on the borders. Strange dreams to say the least. Sometimes I'm attacked by zombies of people I know. It's ok though, I usually dislike those people so disposing of them is the fun part :P

lol, just die and suck it up. Losing your stuff is actually what makes this game great

The one near Polana is the best. I always go there, but we have always bring a sniper to watch from the hills as well, so make sure to stay hidden and be ready to drive away quickly

Lets gather round the campfire, and sing our campfire song. Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song

Once you get a few AS50's stockpiled and shooting zombies/goats gets boring. Fresh spawn are fun to watch. I usually miss the first shot so they try to sneak around (Keep in mind I'm yet to find someone who actually completely stays out of my sights after they hide from the first shot), then I take the out once they have a zombie train going. Zombies get hungry too right?

"Real" Bandits don't kill for fun. We shoot to break kneecaps, then drag our unconscious victims into ponds, where we proceed to bandage them all the while telling bad jokes and stealing from their pack. Now that, is a real bandit's work.

The blood curdling screams when you are being eaten are pretty dark if you ask me

My friend bought dayZ yesterday and his first spawn was in Novy :P Interesting first DayZ experience since the usual is bleeding and wondering how the hell you bandage yourself But I get that glitch almost everyday with the hero skin, I usually just abort and it puts me on the coast. It gets annoying fast.

Here's the forums to get whitelisted on the server I play on http://dayzgonebye.boardhost.com/index.php It's low-pop sometimes, but usually I still manage to run into others.

I actually kind of like this idea, and I usually wear a ghillie. It adds a little balance to it, plus it's true. You can't really wear a giant backpack with one on unless you put it over it which kind of defeats the purpose of the ghillie suit.

You're playing it wrong

A lot of that feeling comes from the map. It should feel like a new landscape leaving that feeling of being lost, as well as the new zombie AI which will make them more dangerous, and therefor, scary.

I broke my legs. Believe it or not
