it's all already explained :-( mmmm, if the private hive switches to another map (from chernarus to lingor and back again) you'll loose your gear.

if the server doesn't restart while you are running, your body will be there. i didn't this when i had your problem, but when i've been killed and i ran to my body, even if it took more than half an hour, my body was there.. then, once i had this glitch but i respawned in the air over my body, and logging in and out, falling a couple of seconds every time, i managed to land near my dead body and take my gear.

i feel that also survivors run at different speed..i know this is false, and maybe it's just lag, but sometimes i see my buddy going slower or faster..the hero goes about 10% faster so you should place a way point and see how many meters of difference will be between hero and non hero character..

in big towns, fresh spawned, i often end with the bandit skin, killing a douche axe bandit after another, so punishing it's not the right way. it would be fine some team-goal to give biggest rewards to people teaming up

try arma2 single player

on dayz commander, unofficial servers have a small cloud with a ''x'' inside, on those you don't keep your stuff and you start a new ''life''. without the cloud, it's always your public char

hiding in trees and bushes is definetly a problem...especially if you are fighting someone or if you can reach the loot instead of running away because they are too many

ingame like irl!

those still ingame are legit, found on players or tents..

also the 24h daytime is spreading a lot..all pussies kindergardens...nothing best than default settings i must say that i love modded buildings and more vehicles randomly damaged...

the combat log is amazing :-) nice also ''the hero'' ,the revolver sound is so appropriate

this saved my life many times..anyway in SA this will be gone i think, so prepare to people whining because it was better in the mod..

yeah, i have this question too, it seems to run great since last patch..

if you want to play this game without killing anyone or be killed everytima, also by friendlies, you must have a mic. the rest depends on the situation

it would be fun, i'd like to see something different than: ok i'm on the coast, who knows why, let's go there!

if you are forced to group with others to get inside a big town to get to the hospital, for example, a solo bandit will have more difficulties than now..you'll need to avoid or fight other groups and solo players will have to choose between join or die. and if the zombies are a big threat this will happen also without grouping before connecting, you'll find people waiting for a hand at the outskirts of cherno, this would be the end of mic-less players :-)

you can see players by pressing ''p'' too, and mute them by clicking on their name and clicking ''mute''. yes, deerstands spawn 3 zombies. maybe 0% means 100% because when you don't see them(server lag), be sure that the deerstand will be empty, unless someone else spawned loot inside for you before...

going the other way i say that elektro is more dangerous: 1-in cherno you can scout an area before moving to the next one, elektro is just a one nucleus town. 2-the big factory offers a better cover, splitting the city in two halves. 3-in cherno you can be fully geared looting less than 1/2 buildings: a) apartments+hospital B) tents+a couple of pubs c) firestation+cornershop yes, cherno can easy stimulate your greed and make you go from building to building in town until you die, but in elektro you are basicly camping until you get sniped by the hill

this is a good advice, i tend to place camps in hell holes, like small towns with few loot spots, and where you'll spawn only a couple of infected when you are checking your tent. i like also vergers in berezino area, the trees prevent people to spot the tent in the distance and if you don't crouch walk you cannot see it also from a small distance. i've also found a lot of lonely tents in those ruins you can find, some with no loot and some with a couple of spots.

when you start with nothing at all you can enjoy the variations to your playstyle you must do..consider the difference between finding a hatchet or a lee enfield in your first loot spot! you must adapt to everything

to me it's more important the location and the number of players on. when there are more than 10 players it becomes CoD and i'm orientend towards shooting everyone. if it's a big town or a military spot...what i have on me and what he has..said like you posted, sometimes i shoot and sometimes i don't. happened to me what you said in stary and we both survived

edited, i have a horrible ping(it's US based, isn't it?) so it's better if i don't play there.

i can't remember my first kill anymore :-( it was dirty and sad and cruel and i felt bad, but then you start feeling less everytime, everytime someone shoots you and you kill him, everytime someone axes you down...

zero stress,go on with your work! we can handle it with the mod which is everyday a surprise

this is a piece of history of dayz
