Hendrix (DayZ)

Underground fortresses? Hackable security systems? Lighting generators? Alt F 4 fixes? Loot Spawns? Stand Alone Day Z by years end?!?!..Rocket lays out a road map for the future of Day Z in this interview with Gamebreaker.TV must see for Day Z fans.... http://www.gamebreaker.tv/pc-games/exclusive-dean-rocket-hall-interview/

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22434-new-player-guide-v10/ you can find info on how to play the game better as well as links to all in game weapons gear ect.

Six launcher all day every day .....haters gonna hate....some of us weren't born speaking binary code and we have little desire or acuman for tooling around in our file folder adjusting information that could potentially break the game or blue screen our PC and working harder is not necessarily smarter....with launcher you can see your pings and server caps easily and I have had zero performance issues...perhaps the supposed vitriol the community has for it was based on some earlier build but for me it works just fine....

Friendly in this game is like the michael jackson definition of bad it means the exact opposite..... The funny thing is most times people are bad actors and when I hear a nasally buthead sounding kid say friendly I can usually here the muffled snicker in the cadence of their voice.... generally if the term friendly is accompanied with the term "wait up"...or "hold on"....well I hope your armed well because they have no intention of doing anything nice with or to you....most friendly survivors keep to themselves and avoid conflict and if they are friendly will ask you to join them when they are on the beach and have nothing that either of you fears losing.... if there are any newer players that want some info on the game, or vets that want more info into the mechanics, I did a very detailed guide... http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22434-new-player-guide-v10/

me thinks you need to read this good sir.... http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22434-new-player-guide-v10/

funny you should ask... I have this little guide with about 3.5k readers you might want to check out.... http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22434-new-player-guide-v10/

If he didnt use the rear ladder, he likely did a coordinated server hop....his buddy left the server went on another server moved behind you then logged back on the original server and spawned behind you.....atm there is nothing to do about server hoppers but keep on the move or log out if you see someone logged recently during a confrontation...you can press p and see all the current players on the server. Anytime the status updates and you see someone logged in or died make sure you do a 360 sweep around yourself so you don't get caught offguard by it.... here is a link to my guide may help you if you need it, has many links to maps and discusses game mechanics in detail.. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22434-new-player-guide-v10/

I heard the forums got an update so I logged on for a look...snazzy...anyway... what I said in my last post still applies but since they now have a like feature incorporated do me a favor and like and follow my original post if you got something out of the content in the guide so I know I'm not wasting my time posting biblicaly long strat guides... I heard 1.7.2 has a possible bug realted to the ghillie suit where it can cause you to lose all your gear,as well as some lag and the usual zombie issues that are all understandable in an alpha build.... I havn't confirmed this and have no desire to log in and lose my prized uniform but I'll link the post which has many people discussing the issue so you guys can decide if it is eroneous information or not for yourselves, just consider yourselves warned survivors.... http://dayzmod.com/f...59-1715-vs-172/

Quick update on the guide....Rocket ,rocket, rocket.........you clever bastard.... ..I am impatiently waiting for Day Z patch then I fall in love with the survival horror MMO The Secret World....so of course you release the patch to pull me back in......arrrghh.....I am torn at the moment but since I currently have a monthly sub to TSW till I can afford the life time one I will be playing that till It reaches that inevitable MMO grindfest mode in my brain. I will then come back here and update the guide with the new info....also servers are harder to get into now then a nuns panties so filling the frustration gap with fun is more sensible to me atm....sorry if you were waiting for an update rest assured it is coming. (Holds up hands nods and makes Rocket face). If your bored of the servers loading screen come play TSW with me it is totaly worth buying graphics are insanely good (trust me noone streaming or reviewing it is doing that in it's direct x11 mode with full tesselation so it is only getting a bad rap graphically when it is actually the best in that category on the market atm) If your hanging in here, I will be back soon to bear trap you for dem beans...later P.S. here is a link to an awsome stream chick I was hanging with yesterday she features TSW and soon Guild Wars 2 she specializes in pvp and dungeons U will like promise....http://www.twitch.tv/aoiban

glad to hear it..... good hunting

http://www.narescue.com/C-A-T_-_Combat_Application_Tourniquet-CN33B7051138B3.html I led with a link to a picture of the item...The military has a very similar style velcor fast application tourny that medics and corpsman use. My idea for use in the game is that we have all had those situations where you get hit have 5 zombies around you and no time to apply a bandage so you run and are bleeding out while being chased then you shoot a few and more spawn before you get that perfect window to apply the bandage which takes forever you probably get a broken bone or knocked out and it's game over... The CAT tourny would be a fast action item you can resuse and would go in your inventory slot. When you start to bleed it takes a second to apply and can be selected quickly on your mouse wheel (it would only appear if your bleeding) you then run to safety while losing zero blood, down the zombies chasing you then bandage then take it off (in that order to prevent a blood clot and possible passing out which would preserve a level of realism) The CAT tourneys are velcro and reusable in real life so they are a perfect item to have as a rare medical spawn to add to your survivability. If you keep them on too long however you could allow the shock effect to happen or the knockout and eventual death which would simulate the fact if left on too long you can loose a limb to blood flow restriction...

If you find this guide helpful please post success stories so it stays close to the top page and can help others....I just finished updating it with more references and clariflying some points as well as reformatting it's design, enjoy.....

Just Updated the info v1.0 and added in reference links....

Actually I gave them a set of easy to follow rules that they can choose to follow if they wish I offered alternate strategy if they want to play as a bandit, jungler or friendly and ultimately if your reading a guide you want to be told what to do because you have no clue what to do... If people want to figure the game out for themselves they can go to the Day Z wiki and read it and reference the many loot maps online and come up with their own tactics...thats what I did. I am just sharing my personal experience and passing on my suggestions based on their success. If your not a beginner why are you looking at this guide? I suggest you mind your own buisness....my strats are tested and they work if you think you got a better strat make your own guide but don't be a troll.....

If you die after you just spawned what did you lose? Nothing....the reason you enter a city is to gather supplies in bulk. Death should not be a deterent when you first spawn follow the search pattern I outlined and you will find rare spawns. If you decide not to follow this outline go run inland without precious morphine and see how you fare.....I don't think you will last very long...

the hunting requires risk...you have to find the animal make sure the weapon you use wont attract attention or drop your weapon and use an axe to kill the animal for silence...you have a process to cook the meat ...replacing all that with a single use item makes the entire cooking system obsolete and in .2 Rocket added beartraps that can be used to help kill animals there is ZERO CHANCE he is going to destroy the system he is progressivly building up and making more rich....you would be better off suggesting a rare animal spawn worth more blood then a medpack as it would augment the hunting instead of destroying it....an alternative would be to suggest you can combine the meat steaks into a meatloaf with more items or stack them inside of empty tin cans...making the system redundant is not even a realistic option

Exactly my point the current state is way OP atm and in no need of a buff....I don't know if a nerf is needed maybe making certain meat steaks from certain animals worth less or maybe it's fine but it certainly doen't need a buff....
