I'm not into sniping, so I dont understand why I would go OUTSIDE the cities as that's just asking to be sniped. And while in the city, I usually just prone crawl around and wait until I hear shots in high places. And do you guys ever intentually shoot up some zeds to attract people to you? Kind of setting a trap for bandits to come to you. I might try doing this. Shoot a bunch, throw some flares/smoke nades then run to another spot and wait for people to show.

one of us has a reading problem cause on my screen it says i'm in the bandit campfire forums, not survivor HQ. And thanks for the tips! I dont bother with high end gear either. I put all my good gear in a tent I have about 1KM away from each city. I just carry AKM, Revolver, morphine, cooked food, painkiller, smoke grenades. I'll pick up wiring and sandbags too when I find them and put them random key locations. I used to be hardcore anti-pvp in this game, but after a while, there's just nothing else to do. I prefer to spend time fixing up vehicles, but they are so damn buggy. They either randomly blow up or disappear from server bugs. I just got sick of spending hours fixing up vehicles only to lose them. Only vehicle I'll use now is bicycle heh. Which is actually perfect for pvp :)

I think fixing the "ammo fills on abort" bug will greatly change the game and how people play as ammo will actually be a concern. ESPECIALLY for rare weapons. However, if this bug is fixed, the zombie spawn rate needs to be toned way down. Once you clear an area of zombies, you should be clear and free of zombies for a good 10 mins instead of 2 like it is now.

Only had the game 4 days so far, but I've hit near end game item potention a few times and thought "wtf I do now?". I'm not into pvp in this game. I have dozens of other games that are pure pvp and I'll stick with those for my pvp itch. I love the co-op survival aspect of this game and trying to think of ways to make it better. Today, I decided that I will only allow myself to visit a town once and can only loot each building once. I can switch servers how often I'd like, but once I looted a building, it's done! I feel like this will give me a better challenge and more realistic fun. The main drawback to this game I feel is that everyone just finds a good farm spot and server hops continually and gets amazing gear in under an hour. I admit doing this my first few days and camped vybor for about 2-3 hours and pretty much had all the best gear outside the super rare items. This reminds me of the magic find runs in diablo 2 heh. But it sadly makes the game much too easy and underwhelming. What are some playstyles you guys do to give yourself some challenge and fun? I'm even thinking of trying to do some achievements I thought up for fun! Examples are: -Get all food/water from nature only -Loot every building in a town without firing a shot and without changing servers -Escort a person with a broken leg (they can just prone crawl to mimic) across a town/city with a group size less than 4 (not including the cripple as they should be weaponless) -Genocide: kill every zombie in a town. Although probably not possible due to spawn timers. -use only hatchet for 100 zombie kills etc

Changes I'd like to see are: -Ability to setup camps and communities that are permanent. -AI events. Hordes of roaming zombies, vehicle crashes, floods, hurricanes, fires, etc. -Incentive to group with people to survive and NOT kill each other on site. -Better audio/visual cues and AI. It's annoying being seen/heard by zombies when I clearly shouldn't be. And vice versa. -More animals to hunt and more wandering zombies. -Have zombies be permanent instead of just spawned when a player is close. Also, when players die, they also turn into zombie after a few mins. -Have areas that NEED a large group to break through. Think of downtown in a big city. -Limit either weapons or ammo more. I feel there's just too many and too easy to get. At least limit rifles and high power weapons. Make it more pistols and minor weapons. -Have pets with +/- benefits of having them. -Customized outfits and gear -more freedom in all respects, but give achiements or incentives to do impressive things. Like securing a town for 8 hours. Or having a group make it through a populated town without firing a shot.

I do truly believe that something similar to the movie "The Crazies" could happen. In this day of "modern medicine" where scientists love messing with the human genome, I can definitely envision a contagion virus that messes with the brain and makes one insane. Hell, we already have medicine that do this, but they are not contagious and only last a few hours. But anyways, Zombie Apocalypse can't happen just do to human anatomy. A body not getting any type of food would just atrophy and decay in a week. There's no sugar to produce ATP/ADP and therefore your muscles wouldn't even move. So don't prepare yourself for a zombie apocalypse. Prepare yourself for the CRAZIES apocalypse! and btw, I just got the game 3 days ago and looking for people to group with. CO-OP only! I don't do pvp in this game as I think it's pointless and horrible mechanics. I play other games for real pvp.

add me. just got game yesterday! steam - inic81 skype - nicspov

add me! I just started teh game yesterday! skype - nicspov steam - inic81

Been watching videos on youtube of dayz for a week or so. I finally bought it now and am downloading it via steam. I plan on being a friendly player and exploring as much as possible. Gonna try to build a car too haha! looking for friendly players/clans/etc. that can help a newbie and I'll return the help once I learn the ropes. Also, any tips on how to survive longer would be greatly welcomed!

steam id is "inic81" I'm downloading the game, but will probably make char name same as this one. Been watching youtube vids of this mod and it got me very interested so I bought it today :) My long term goal is to setup a community haven area like I would in a real catastrophe. I'd have people on guard duty, supply duty, recon, etc.

I'm new also and looking for friendly players to group with! steam id is "inic81"
