Love it!

Yep, been a few times where i tried to change to semi/auto and thrown a purple smoke nade, great way to just; HEY EVERYONE LOOK OVER HERE!

Over 80 hours in the game and have never seen a repairable or operational vehicle. Granted i havn't been looking, LOL.

On topic with zombies seeing me from far away i havn't noticed this because i happen to be sitting on a ton of ammo for my revolver so now i just sprint everywhere and take out zombies that follow me. But there was an instance where i was crouch walking and two hoppers seemed to see me from well over 50m, wasn't even on a road i was just scoping the area and they saw me, still no idea what happened with that.

Here's what i think. Want to join a low pop server and get gear? Why the hell not, if that's what you would like to do do it. Personally i think that 50 players for a server is far far too many, i would like a server with a 30 player cap, because with 50 it's just too hectic for me. Bear in mind i'm not even talking about Cherno or Electro, i just run into far too many people in the most random places lol.

Also if you're planning on getting a vehicle it might be a good idea to grab a friend to play with you because i would never trust leaving it in the woods to raid somewhere, best to have somebody watching it.

It varies from server to server, veteran, regular, hardcore etc... some just simply have the map dots/waypoints turned off.

No real preference on anything other than a basic one time payment or something along those lines, not interested in "free to play" or the monthly subscription.

I don't know about getting it for free, i like it enough that i'll pay for it again. And i do not want a "free to play" style game where the basic game is free but if i want higher tier items and what have you i need to pay for them.

I'm all for bandits, but people that sit in the major cities killing freshly spawned players with scoped rifles really piss me off, Mainly just because they arn't killing to survive or in self defense or for gear, they just want to rack up a murder count on players that can barely fight back yet... I find it a waste of time honestly.

Acebane does that surrender your weapons type of banditry, he recently did a video where he had a survivor drop his weapons (an m24 and revolver) and proceeded to swap his 50cal for the m24. Ace sure does like his m24...

Ever since my first few experiences with other players on DayZ "Better them than me" has been my mentality.

Well i got a good laugh...

Agreed, didn't you know that items appear around the tent when it gets overpacked or were you just un-able to re-locate the gps because i've had problems finding items i've dropped before, it almost costed me an m14 and FAL.

Simple, no.

All i can say is try to loot cycle Stary on a full server and live, S6 and other clans might be able to do it but there is definately a large amount of risk involved.

I somewhat agree with what you're saying but here's my opinion. I think that zombies knocking you out is part of their risk, if they didn't then they really just arn't as lethal without that factor of - if i'm at low blood i might get knocked cold and eaten. However i do think maybe reduce the level of blood you have to be at before you have a chance for it and the lower the blood the higher the chance etc.

Interesting idea but when people kill eachother in town the zombies might choose to go after the dead body instead of the gunshots. If you care that murders will go even less punished (i don't)

I just went back a patch and can play now, but my friend's game says that he's deleted Chernarus so i'm unsure if it will work for all.

Similar error on my side. Recently installed new DayZ patch and the new beta patch and now i get stuck on waiting for host on every server, Anyone?

Can we expect to see some more of firefight soon?

Same problem. Updated. Stuck on waiting for host.

When it comes to travel if i have a compass and a map i will just run whichever route is fastest to where i'm going, if i don't but manage to figure out where i am i just run alongside the road or within eyesight of it. For player contact i try to avoid confrontation really (i mostly stay up north) if i see someone that hasn't spotted me i may try to sneak around and get the jump on them but alot of the time i practice avoidance if i don't have anyone with me. As for friendly asking, i play up north... there is no such thing as friendly. How safe am i? not very, but when looting i tend to take it very slowly (or very quickly depending on mood or situation) and avoid zombies... shooting tends to draw a bit of attention.

My reason is easy, it isn't a cluster f$%&. Gameplay up north is a little less crazy, military loot spawns, you can get everything you need relatively easily with much less risk. You don't run into as many players up north but when you do they tend to be either groups/clans or a higher tier of player. I just like it better in the North only reason i go to main towns is for the hospital.

I joined your group. If anyone that's in the group is operating up north i'd be happy to be involved.
