So many with a disgusting sense of entitlement 'round here. It makes me ill. You bitch and moan for them to hurry up and get the patch out and when they do you complain about the bugs saying things like "WTF" & "Fix it!" Didnt anyone ever teach you any manners? Its because you were sooo impatient to get your greedy little claws on it. Its beta! Its day one of a new patch! No ones forcing you to be a guinnie pig. Next time wait to find out the issues before you install a patch. OR stfu! Disgusting

StrangeMatt download the six launcher. it will auto update when updates are available

Took me awhile to get onto a server. When did all was fine. I was close in SE, in Msta. Had all my gear....I DID notice some zeds seem to detect me from about 50 or 60 meters out while at a crouching crawl while others only 15 or 20 meters away did not. Thanks

Im new to DayZ and MMogs. There seems to be inconsistancy on servers inso far as zombies and loot. Some servers i find tons of one item or another and almost none other. Liek woodpiles and flares. On another server tons of stuff for autos. I was on one server with plentiful water bottles (wish i remembered which one). Also i played this morning on a seattle server where there were almost no zombies or loot. whats this about?

one thing is that in the game your fire arm is always in ready position. So when your looking at another player that other player sees someone aiming a gun at them and vice a versa...very tense. People shoot. I carry a hatchet as primary. Ive never been shot or even seen another player. Maybe its just chance or maybe they know im no threat to them unless the walk right up to me....maybe.

no backpack/ no problem....i dont know how many hours i played before i realized my inventory and my backpack were two separate things and that my backpack ws actually empty :)

Im up for spawning with nothing.....and why cant the vest pack be used in comni with a regular pack....isnt that the point of it in the first place?

Hockmonovich didn't write: "Thanks for all the tips peeps....Cheers"

Someone posted earlier about a hatchet being underused and underRated. I agree. I have been alive for three days, killed around 80 zeds and have never fired a gun. I dont see why anyone would it just attracts more zombies. After three days i am well equipt. I have even wondered if somehow loot spawn is tied to amount of time a player survives. When I spawn I live the coast and go inland to small villages looking for a hatchet but more importantly food and water. I go slow but not too slow because ill quickly die of thirst or hunger. if i find a sidearm or gun early in the game i dont even pick it up. And i have found weapons...sniper rifles, an ak once or twice. Best i ever found was asilenced sub machine gun which I tried to put in my backpack and it vanished (grrrr). I have a lee ensfield and an M1911 pistol but i dont use them. I use my hatchet. Today I found a chzeck backpack (sweet) and a tool box. All I really need is a hatchet, water bottle, knife and matches. With those four items I can eat drink and kill zed when i have to. Even if you found a gun in your first two minutes it would probably just wind up getting you killed.

thanks

I was on seatlle100 a few days ago leaving a town when suddenly a zombie sprinted toward me and then right past me..i turned and saw zeds from all directions racing towards something. at least 10 or 15. I couldnt see what they were sprinting for but i was scared. Then they stopped and started lumbering around again. I figured the threat was gone and stared to move again when they all started sprinting again toward the opposite side of town. This time I saw them all converge around a vehicle (a small car) with idk how many survivors in it. I watched as the car vanished and then reappeared a few meters away.......I DC'd. I figured they werent playing fair and i wasnt going to wait around for them cheat me to death. Q: Is it ok that I disconnected or should I've waited around to be killed and farmed?

Just experienced same thing. Found ghillie suit in a church and put it on (had been crawling on my belly for 40 minutes through woods). It was few more minutes until irealized i could stand. It de-pop'd the zombies for a bit. It was about 5k north of mogilevka I think. In a town with a big church. Funny now that i think of it...I remember as I crawled into the church thinking maybe god will heal me...seriously. LOL

Im new to mmog's, can someone please explain some server codes i see i figured out 3Dp:off = third person off. but what about ch: np: any other common i havent seen? thanks

awesome link thanks

Good advice indeed. Another tip i learned by trial error. Go slow but not too slow....you have to find food and water. Stay low and trot when you can..prone when you must...but move as quickly as is safe and find water and food. HAtchets are my weapon of choice against zombies. I keep a gun when i find one but save it for bandits(havent needed it yet)...good hunting :) OH YEAH......play the ARMA Bootcamp campaign

Ive been reading some about if and when DayZ goes retail would it be pay2play or not and an idea struck me. What is there were a "safe zone" in the game, a camp or outpost or secure town where survivors...(if they could make it there) could meet other players, eqip or purchase DLC. I really love the "survival" aspect of this game so i wouldnt want things to be too easy but i think a retail version of this game would be a bit different anyway. Maybe there could be "in game money" and how much you find dictates how much "real world money" you could spend on DLC. or supplies. But more than that a social "safe" (or semi-safe) area would be great for meeting other players, forming teams...trading and im sure many other interesting social developments i cant even fathom.....jut a thought. cheers and thanks for your great work developer/s

your right about the players forming the safe haven but theres been discussions about when/if this game goes standalone how to avoid having a pay to play system. Im saying if the developers are eventually going to charge us to play (more than purchase cost) it might be interesting to integrate it into the game somehow. Create an in game economy. Or not. its just an idea albeit a common one. And i dont know much about EA games...are they stupid or something? The post is about alternative ways to charge money for this game/mod...which will eventually happen.
