TylerDurden (DayZ)

I was just heading to a deer stand on a server which showed my location on my map. I set a waypoint and set off. When I got closer I checked my map and there was an orange icon with a point on it labelled "Man" a bit like this <O Was that another player? Why was he showing up on the map? I scouted the area but couldnt find anyone and the icon disappeared from the map.

What else are you gonna do in DayZ? Surviving with no risk from other players would make the game so easy it would be boring. After playing the game for a while dodging zombies and looting is easy. Killing other players is all there is left to do. Hell I've even sailed that little 10kph small boat from Solnichny to Berezino.... that was dull. Killing other players is end game content for DayZ. Saying that they should probably make some friendly fire off servers for the pussies and noobs.

They cant add a login delay for logging onto different servers because all the so many stupid server admins are unable to tell the time. GMT -8 server connecting at midnight GMT and its pitch black? wtf

Does this happen on all servers or just ones on regular difficulty? Talk about a map hack! lol

So if I was playing on this server is there a chance I'd appear on peoples maps without them seeing me?

You spelt one wrong in the title. Very elite.

I'd be happy with a mod for ARMA 3. But if a standalone was developed I'd either prefer the free to play model (Please partner with a company with experience in this and not Bohemia) or a one off purchase. I'd never subscribe monthly to a game.

The main problem is Bohemia Interactives contribution to DayZ. ARMA 2 is full of bugs which cause most of the problems in DayZ. ARMA 3 will be a buggy piece of shit and if Bohemia work on DayZ it will be awful and buggy. Rocket needs to partner with a decent gaming company.

Rocket removed starting weapons from the game to try bring people together at the start. The problem is the games pretty shallow and once you've played for a while getting gear is easy so hunting other players is the only thing left todo.

Hi, I'm using http://dayzdb.com/map to try find my way around DayZ but continually get lost and end up running in the wrong direction. Any tips to help me not get lost? Also if you have a map but no compass can you set a way point to follow? If so how? Thanks.

Thanks guys some good tips. Especially the clouds and how far your run in 20 seconds.

Thanks, that is the best weapons sheet I've seen. Good job!

I've "found" a worked bus but I was lost when I found it and have hidden it in the wilderness and logged off. I have a map and a watch no gps or compass. Is their anyway to find my location without running around trying to find the nearest town and risk losing it?

I dont watch yogscast all mincraft rubbish but I did watch their DayZ videos. The server host was something like "Yogscast DayZ adventures" so pretty sure it was a private server. I think someone started their characters for them so they had weapons etc. It all did seem a little unfair however... they have over 2 million youtube subscribers so this will have given a lot of free press for DayZ which is good. I still think spawning without away to defend yourself is bullshit though.

THANKS FOR THE 1.7.2.2 UPDATE WHICH HAS BROKEN DAYZ AGAIN. FLASHING / FADING BLACK SCREEN TO GAME. FFS

This is probably intentional. Every patch the game becomes less fun. Rockets not trying to make a game for you to play. He's trying to train people how to survive a Zombie apocalypse not to have fun. I'm sure at least a couple of game companies are ripping this idea off and working on a micro transaction based free to play mmo style game with none of arma 2's limitations or Rockets hardcore ideals.

Not really seeing any FPS inprovements. I can run any game maxed out but DayZ runs like dog shit. I've noticed zombies much further away than the ones closest to me aggroing for no reason. Also are their more zombies? Just played on a server that said 130ish zombies alive and I killed 31 with a hatchet stuck in one part of cherno. Barbwire still causing problems in fire station stairways. Unable to remove or climb over. *Sigh*

Since 1.7.2 have been getting stuck at Waiting for character to create quite often and having to close ARMA and try a different server. Also I was in cherno last night and found some camo gear. When I put it on water flashed on the screen and I was swimming through the building. I logged off and back on and the survivor managed to correct himself but I'd lost everything out of my main inventory.

On the stream with PC Gamer Rocket said it had almost been ready for release for a while and they have a preview version at the game thing they're all at. But when is 1.7.2 gonna be released? so people who cant play the game might actually be able to.

These 4 guys all have GPS, Night Vision, Maps and great weapons. They also have 3 vehicles. How did they manage to get all this stuff when they only manage to make 25 minutes of video before 2 of them are shot dead at night on a server without many people? They must have cheated. They even mention one of the guys has been accused of cheating before. The 4 people in this video are hackers. We all have to go through the grind of looting. These guys should be banned. 1st Video 2nd Video

Probably not. 1.7.2 is a bug fix of 1.7 Earliest beta would be version 1.8 Kinda sucks they didnt release a bug fix just so they could showcase some DayZ at Rezzed to promote Arma 3.

Hi, I've seen a few youtube videos where alice packs seem to be everywhere I've checked all over cherno and electro with my last character (Just got shot in the back 5 minutes ago) and couldnt find one anywhere. Checked firestation, office / school building and the common cafe / pub building. Thanks.

OMG This is bad news. This isnt fixable is it?
