Having the same feeling. Was very frustrated my first few lives because of death from headaches and what not. Got all that figured out now and loving the game.

Got 2. Tried to put batteries in them and it would not let me. So I dont think they are usable at the moment.

^^^^

shit happens

So I was helping two of my friends start out on DayZ a while back. After a bit of helping around the map and teaching them some of the ropes we head to Zelano. One of my friends gets his leg broke. After some debate in my head and some funny banter with him and my other friend I shoot him in the face killing him. Reason being that I only had 1 morphine and I didnt want to waste it. So the buddy I didnt shoot made this. I laughed HARD. Thank You Ulyaoth for this laugh.

Good Job

screenshots would make your case stronger

Something must have gotten lost in translation then. The Face and ect can be changed in your profile. The CLOTHES that you start out with (aka skins) are randomly determined.

since this was added while i was typing up the last one i will answer you here. I am the asshole?? Read again what I typed. "All the gear I want". I am not a sniper. I dont need rangefinders. I dont need NVG's. I dont need alot of things. I want a FN FAL (only since the big gun nerf), a Revolver, an ALICE pack (the Coyote is cursed, once someone in my group gets one either one or all of us die), some canteens, the tools (but not a GPS), Camo Suit if I come across one. Thats it. Go out and raid for meds when I want/need it. Hunt when I needed to eat. Traverse the map... /win for me. You dont need any of that shit. You want it. Difference. And that being said its STILL stupid easy to find gear in this game. 0.11% chance sucks, and it can be a pain in the ass, but THAT is shit you hunt for once you are "geared". The proverbial "End Game" for this game as most everyone likes to spout. So yea my playstyle makes me an asshole. I dont go and kill anyone for my loot. I can find it on my own. Spawn anywhere on the coast and move north. Hit each Deer Stand on the way. Check major spots for gear (Zelano, Rog, Moglievka). Make my way to major northern towns (Vybor, Berezino). Make way across the map checking fields for Crashes while on the way to the other major town you didnt hit. If you are not geared after that. Something is terribly wrong lol.

it was, oh man was it. i started back in end of april/early may. sometime around there.... had less than 200k players. the very first 1.7 patch. trying to get into a server was a mini game all unto its self, and trying to get 5 people on the same server... with an update that just happened LOL. good luck. and i am sure that there are people on here still who predate me by a longshot. they have some stories thats for sure.

yea its sad. this coastal deathmatch has got to stop one day. there is a huge wonderful map to explore and antics to be had. if not for the call of the sniper rifle and the splat of the blood of a fresh spawns brain getting a bit of fresh air. real fast edit- not saying you are one of these people. just saying that there is a big map and plenty to be had and i wish people would go out and adventure/experience it.

oh no i understand you are talking real time not in gametime. me to. getting gear in this game is stupid easy. all you need to do is leave the damn coast haha.

it took two weeks to get geared? i get all the gear i want in 2 days TOPS. and before yall start saying anything i dont have tents or script or go out and kill anyone or server hop to get my gear. me and my friends actually travel the map and hit multiple towns and chopper crashes.

Honestly it all depends on how its implemented. I dont care for the direction that WarZ is going with it. So I hope Dean will see the rage we had over that and if he does want to implement skills or whatever, he does so in a different direction.

beans are yours

i came in here with a troll response already thought up. you sir just changed that thought to this. thank you for the helpful tips. i will try that for when i go into first person for combat. i however LOVE third for cross country running, and i like to see my character. personal preference. thank you for not flaming/bashing/being a total fuckwad douche. beans for you

you want a subtle addition. Every Zombie Spawn has a small percentage chance (say 1%) to spawn a roaming zombie that only despawns upon server restart. The pathing for it is already there. It can use the same one that the animals use. So this gives you a small chance at free roaming zombies.

As a person who has done his share of Meth... I dont ever remember actin like that.

:murder:

My understanding is that Helicopter Crash Sites can only be looted ONCE per spawn. They respawn after each server reset. So if no loot was there that means that somebody beat ya to it.

I personally like the fact that they are glitchy and random. Makes it a tad more realistic that while yes 8/10 times a strategy will work, but those last 2 times your gonna get a Zombie from 100m away to perk up RUN and just bash your brains in. Bleed you in one hit, break your bones at 12k blood, and basically Fuck Up your day. Adds a certain ambiance that i have grown to love.

was in a bus and riding up to stary and got the graphics glitch worse than i have ever gotten it before.

Less Military the better IMHO, but there still needs to be a military presence and gear. Just less NVGs Rangefinders .50 cals ect ect ect.

You have to sacrifice 5 Urals 10 goats and 1 survivor in the name of Wangotango. You then have his blessing to go on the quest to hunt for the "Instructinomicon". An unholy book of woe written in braille. Trade that to the Leprechaun of Olsha. He will then give you directions to The Mountain. Once there you will be asked to answer 3 questions by that which shall remain unnamed. Should you answer all 3 questions correctly you will be given a fortune cookie. THAT will then tell you how to spawn the Helicopter. Once. Good luck and Gods Speed. OK now for realz. Good luck man and i hope yall get it straightened out.

i was thinkin about this last night. i would suicide bomb a grocery store after watching people run in. screaming gibberish over direct chat
