Object A2

I really don't understand what causes a bike or car, or even helicopter to suddenly repair after you exit and re enter the vehicle. Is this normal or something is broken? Usually if I hit the wheel of a bike and exit then get back on the bike the damage is gone. Last night I landed a helicopter a bit too harsh and saw some yellow and orange damage indicators, yet when I exited to refill jerry cans and entered the choppper again the damage was GONE! I was running around trying to find scrap metal only to find my chopper fully repaired.... Is this intended or a bug?

what you really want is bounce lighting or global illumination. Good luck keeping the game real time!!!

although the tool box is a way to get rid of wires it is incredibly clunky to awkward to use, maybe a better option might be wire cutters and not a toolbox.

most people avoid night time like the plague. Dark servers are typically low population. If you want gear from the big towns, hassle free, then night time is your best friend. Learn to use chemlights, guns with flashlights like the g17 and the shotgun and you won't need goggles or gamma. Flares are also a great way to distract zombies and blind those pesky NVG snipers.

I would like to see the following items spawn sometime soon: 1. Chainsaw (needs fuel) 2. Power tools like nailguns, buzzsaw, sander 3. Machete 4. Cleaver (can be thrown too) 5. Katana blade(why not?) ninja style assasins weapon quiet and deadly. 6. Chain 7. Spear (throwable) or metal rod 8. Baseball bat (combined with nails for extra damage) 9. Molotov cocktail 10. Flamethrower (this should really be at the top but saved the best for last). :)

dude, ever hear of editing???

You realize that DAYZ is an MMO right ? The idea behind this is to actually encourage team play. Clearly if that is not your goal maybe this is not the right game for you.

But the kids love that one!!! Imagine seeing zombies chasing you on fire at night.

Which map are you running? I prefer the latest version of Namalsk, bloodsuckers and all.

AKM = POP!!! dead AK 74 = POP! POP!POP! POP! POP !POP!pop !POP !clink !POP !POP! dead I was being shot by another player with an AK 74 at close range, I managed to quickly turn around and hit him with a two shot. He died instantly even though I had been shot. I took his stuff. AKM 4 the win!!!

So what happens over time as more and more loot is generated but not consumed? Is there a threshold? Do items disappear or are they eventually replaced? I know sometimes if I loot a store, with no other players around, and I move to another building, then come back to the store, some of the items have changed. It's possible that another player was nearby but this behavior happens even when I'm the only person on a server. This is usually how I find maps when there are no maps in the store by default. If I come back after 10 minutes, the map usually spawns. So while I wait for this cycle I run and loot other buildings.

download dayz commander then install Namalsk. (dayz commander has the option it's as easy as clicking a button) Search for Namalsk only servers.

Play on Namalsk.

I think it would really help to feel isolated more if the game did NOT report how many people are playing on the servers at all. You join servers blind without knowing if the server is empty or full. Pros / cons? discuss...

The idea is that you would NEVER know the total number of players, the server is either available, empty or full, that is all the information that a new fresh spawn should have. A list of players in game should NOT be displayed at all, the ONLY time this list would populate is when you actually ENCOUNTER that said player, once you see him then you are aware of their existence. I think the whole philosophy of day z should be "if a tree logs into a server and no one is around to see it, did it log in?" See no evil, hear no evil, log no evil.

The only thing missing from this map is a hind.

all you need is ONE single piece of scrap metal and a jerry can. That is ALL! you don't need the rotor,engine parts, glass etc etc at all! The chopper will fly if you just repair the vertical rotor using scrap metal, and ofcourse you need two Jerry cans minimum so you can fly to the nearest gas tank to fill up. so simple!

you can still tap forward to have momentum and you.will fly well over 100 mph but as long as you dont SPAM the Q key your fuel will last longer.

wuss

also another tip, you will use LESS fuel if you DON't hold down Q while flying. Hit Q once to get the rotors started, wait about 30 seconds, then hold Q to hover up and as soon as you clear the trees let go of Q, try NOT to use the Q button to fly and you will last longer in the air.

ofcourse but this is enough to get you flying so you can land near a fuel tank, then you can fuel up and take the heli to a factory to hunt for other parts to repair to full. but to get the chopper flying all you need is fuel and ONE single piece of scrap metal to fix the vertical rotor

actually the most simple way to repair a helicopter is 1x scrap metal (to repair vertical rotor V ROTOR) 3x jerry can that is ALL you need to get the chopper flying, yes it will leak fuel quickly but it's enough to get you to a fuel station. Then just fly to different factories to get 1x engine parts 1x rotor assembly 6x glass and 3x more scrap metal this will repair the rest of the helicopter and dont worry about refueling it to full, 10 jerry cans will have you flying around for hours.

Sounds like you should download the solo, single player mod just google it , it does exist and you can practice there before joining multiplayer. The single player is literally TWO files you have to copy and it works with 1.7.6.8, save your old files, dont overwrite the dayz_code.bpo, simply rename it to MP_dayz_code.bpo then copy the single player file, when you are ready to play again, rename the dayz code to sp_dayz_code.bpo and rename the MP back to just dayz_code.bpo.. This way you can enjoy dayz with or without any other players, plus in single player you can actually SAVE your game, so if you mess up you don't lose everything. Plus you can spawn gear and train how to use guns.

I wish there was a better mechanic to save gear. I don't mind losing gear to bandits or other players, but I do mind when I place items in a tent and try to save, then the server suddenly shuts down and I don't get my gear out in time, everything disappears. Another issue is server longevity. I had tents setup as a redundancy on 5 separate servers, all had my gear saved there for months, but now those servers are down or no longer being paid for by admin, so again ba bye tent gear.... don't even get me started about vehicles.... not saving location, missing gear etc. Is there a better way to preserve/save the gear you find and store?
