You have to find a map first.

I was on top of the fire station roof after I had found a lee enfield. I sat up there for awhile just sniping zed, and then someone shot at me. I freaked out and dropped to prone for awhile. It seemed silent, so I was going to stand up. Instead of 'c', I hit 'v', and I did a little hop over the roof edge and fell to my death. I always wondered if the guy who shot at me saw my idiocy.

This.

In my personal experience smoke has been much more effective at drawing zombies compared to flares.

PDW and M14. Aw yeaaaaah. My favorite gun aesthetically speaking? The Famas. Love it to pieces. As for a favorite gun that I've actually gotten to fire; M110 SASS.

I haven't had problems getting into/out of towns without zombies being alerted; I've still been managing just fine with this update. Also whoever above mentioned smoke grenades is on the right track. I used them to make my way through NWAF and to lure zombies away from their respective deer stands. They give you A LOT of tactical advantage with zed.

I got mine as a thank you gift for saving a guy who was being torn apart by zed. :D and I mean noob in the very literal sense. Beginner pack; equipped with a flashlight or makky. They were fun to watch as they ambled about. :P

This. This a hundred times.

I can vary in tactic. Sometimes I get so paranoid that I creep 1 foot every minute to avoid detection of anyone who might have a scope on me. Other times, I run into a city using the main road and going "AAAAAAHHHHH SOMEONE HELP ME, AAAAAAAH" over direct voice.

I've been creeping around other players using my NV goggles. I crept through a grocer while another survivor was busy looking at loot by the door, and watched blinded noobs try to find their way in the dark. I was glad I didn't happen upon anyone else with goggles.

I honestly have yet to experience difficulty/problems with zed recognition. My usual playstyle is up to par with 1.7.2. apparently; that or I have excelcior luck compared to everyone else.

I don't mind shelling out the cash for ARMA III. I've really enjoyed the experience of playing DayZ; so I'll follow it wherever it goes.

I have honestly had way more fun with the aggro zed in 1.7.2. Me and a few other survivors were quite pleased by the sheer size of the horde that came after us at the hospital in Elektro moments after a 3 way firefight. It got intense.

I've adapted my niceness to solitude, I will avoid people if I hear or see them. I won't shoot them if I don't have to, and I don't trust anyone I don't know a decent amount outside of the game.

Mountain Dew is rare. Get your Dew on when you EARN it.

I'm a friendly guy. I don't like that I get shot up out of nowhere sometimes. That said, I don't think this is a good idea. At all. It would be completely biased against bandit players, and that...Well, isn't fair.

Find the full bottle of Jack; drink it and it works like pain killers. Fill it with gas and it becomes a molotov. That's called recycling.

I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that a lot. lol

I like this idea a lot, but I do see the limitations to it. You really do need a commited crew of people if you want it to work effectively. I'm gonna be keeping an eye on this as well. :D

Mine was actually pretty recent. After acquiring an FN-FAL with NV; I logged on at night to try it- I was currently mid level in a construction sight. I whirl around and just look at stuff; try pacing about with it to see if it's good enough to move around in the dark with. I get so caught up in walking around in scope that I forget to check my footing. I plummit 2 stories and almost bleed out and die in my knocked out state. Manage to throw a bandage on- been recooperating nearby since then. Of all the ways to almost die; I choose falling while distracted.

I'm down to help out fellow friendlies and pal around with people; hit me up sometime if I'm on. Steam: LockeDown Skype: PerfectScrotum

I can only vault over wire that is clearly a little bellow the visible floor level. I haven't been able to V-hop over wire if it's just layed across a street or something and is at level with the ground.

I feel tougher than nails, currently. I'd been surviving in the woods for awhile on my own, but I was running low on supplies. I hadn't seen any good game to hunt recently, and I was on my last canteen. I checked my compass, and decided I would head NE towards BZ; see if I could find any canned food in the grocer. As I cleared the edge of the woods; I see a crashed heli near the edge of the town. I check the area with my 'nocs, and then slowly wriggle down until I get up to it. I hadn't found a crashed heli with loot present before, and it looked like someone had been here first. There was canned food strewn about; probably swapped for ammunition of some kind. I pick up the food as it's relative to my interests, and creep around to the other side of the wreck. Then I see it; an FN-FAL with NV scope. Just sitting there, untouched- magazine adjacent. I scurry over and pick it up with a sense of glee, and then SPEED my ass back up into the forest. I look over my new weapon giddily, and then proceed to spend the next hour or so blinding myself by looking through in NV in the middle o the day. c:

'Ello, the name is Locke. My IGN is Locke Wheeler. I'm generally a friendly, but that doesn't mean I'm harmless. If you announce yourself to me and show me a sign of your good will(gun lowered, salute, backing in) I'll have no reason to engage you. If you just come running up to me silently with an axe- I'm sorry but I'm going to waste you. I can be anywhere on the map; I don't like to stay in one place for too long without a friend. I dig DayZ. It's one of the best mods for any game I've played, and I'm glad I stumbled across it when I did.
