You ran around for an hour finding tires but never picked up any bandages when you knew you had none? So you are an idiot on top of being a crybaby, grats!

@kilsalot - The clouds always travel eastward so use those as your compass, you should be able to run back to the main map area in about twenty minutes.

Make water easier to come by, but like mZLY said it should have a chance to make you sick if you do not boil or filter it before drinking.

I found my first bike the other night, spent about two hours just cruising around from town to town. Was big fun, sadly after stashing the bike up north and hitting save on it the server i was no poofed and i have not seen it back up again, so bye bye wonderful 40kph traveling.

@Manta_Avoid - I think you misunderstand, its not respawning after death that people are talking about in this thread...its being warped back to the coast from anywhere on the map simply because they changed servers/lost internet connection or the server they last played on is no longer up. Far as your comment about swimming...umm you do know you lose your backpack and all your gear when you swim, yes? Read the thread before you post would help.

One problem i run into often is server admins who screw with the game time vs real time settings, so i join a Califonia server in the middle of the afternoon and the darn game is running at 2am and it is pitched black. No i do not wanna fumble my way around in the dark so i instantly look for a new server. If that is reasson enough to make me risk spawning at the coast....I will just stay logged off in till this is fixed since clearly snipers will be drooling at the chance to camp the coastal area now. I can accept losing my gear, that does not make me want to lose my gear for no reason.

Can not connect to any server since Six Launcher forced a update on me, thanks for that. *seems to be working again now*

One time purchase for core game with buy to play map packs that include new weapons, npcs and vehicles every six months or so to keep the game feeling fresh. Maybe bring on Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull or other outside money as a source of income for the Dev team, could have ingame billboards and of course consumables promoting the real life companies products that also exist ingame. Just no F2P crap where little kiddies with a parents credit card can buy high end weapons and such, that would undermine everything that makes this game good.

Sometimes you need to wait a really long time for the Loading the Creating Character screens, seems worse in the current build than before.

In my opinion they have shifted agro to far towards sight and to far away from sound in the current build. I consider myself a very sneaky player but lately I have been getting zombies agroing from a block away or more while moving slowly and carefully but at the same time I have fired off my revolver in one of the super markets and did not even get a rise out of a couple zombies outside on the street not thirty feet away. Currently solo players entering towns are taking a pretty major risk even if they are extremely careful while groups of idiots running around shooting up the place take less of a risk since their gun shots do not pull half the city like it used to. Some adjustment is needed.

@Goober - Ah ok that makes sense than, I did get hit by a Zed right before I noticed my character started coughing and hacking.

Just logged in to find my character has somehow contracted a flu or whatever even though my tempeture never once dropped below 42 degrees while playing today. Having random agro issues from zombies at distances of over a city block while crouched and moving at walking speed, even at night it is easy pulling agro with zero sight bars and just one sound bar from zombies over twenty feet away. The zombie agro would not be an issue if not for the fact this game spawns them all around us as we enter cities and towns in areas that had zero zombies as we approached. Kinda hard making sure i "avoid their eye sight" like the know it alls will say when the f*cking zombie did not exist five seconds prior and agros on me almost as zoon as it spawns. In my opinion the best fix would be to make zombies walk instead of sprint when they detect a almost hidden player, even the undead would not be dumb enough to run full speed at every little noise they hear or shadow they think they see moving.

Read the title.

They should add bears so sprinting across the wooded areas has some risk.

I would favor dropping the bone breaking punches in exchange for being infected in its place, much more realistic and still has the same effect in the end...medical supplies or you are f*cked,

If you are hold up on some hillside or rooftop and scanning for newbs to pick off would boobs make you think twice about pulling the trigger? I been playing a female model (no, I am not a girl but any game with third person view i would rather look at a chick them some dude) and honestly cant say anyone has shot at me yet, either up close or from afar. Man cant live on beans and water alone, do tits and ass make you think twice before pulling the trigger? :P

@Tripp - Seeing the word female make all the blood rush from your brain? Go take care of yourself and after you clean up then try reading it again.

Stop picking the servers with 45/50 players and you would be shocked at how easy the game becomes, that and GTFO of the coastal area and work your way north to Berezino for hospital supplies and groceries (matches are the key item here). My only death in the last week of playing has been from myself having to suicide my way out of a Debug area.

Temp mostly drops during the dark, overcast rain storms. Once it hits 29c you will start seeing the effects.

Best advice i could give them is play Arma2 for a few days so as to get used to the feel of the game engine, how the inventory works and all the other little quirks and oddities before you jump into DayZ.

Like how the Youtube pseudo celebrities do not start with the real Dayz kit but instead have pistols, ammo and other supplies no one else gets at start up. Hey Rocket how about not sucking off the reviewers and make them play the game the rest of us do? Same shit happened with Total Biscuit, clown do not even know how to loot and yet already had a bag full of supplies and weapons, fuck that.

@motorrad - If you go on Youtube and seach for"Arma2 ID" it will bring up an instructional video on how to find your ID #. It is pretty easy as you will see.

Spawned in some area off the map with no gear, need my character moved please. Player name: John Player ID: 22526470

Finally able to log in to find all the gear I spent this week getting is gone and i am in some blank field with no clue how to get out. Will this sort it self out or do i need to make a new character? :(

@PyroQ - There is a sticked thread we need to post in and i guess we get a port out from the off the map spot we are at. Its top of this page on this thread, find your player ID number since i see everyone else who is stuck is adding theirs.
