Killerbeavis

I have strong Friendly status, but slowly getting too strong. I continuously get shot because I do not pull the trigger myself. It may also not help the fact that the two times I have actually killed someone, they had buddies with full auto or snipers far off that pick me off before I even see them.

I know you can make the flashlight a secondary weapon by rightclicking it in your belt and clicking remove just like you would do with a hatchet. But I have done this and I still do not know myself how to actually turn it on.

I agree about the loot hoarders. But quick question to you Superior: What do you do when they do not respond over mic. Cause twice, I use the firendly thing, they didnt bother me while I looted the building we were in, then I go to leave and get shot in the back.

It saves automatically. If it does not for you then my first thought is: Are you using a lagitimate copy of Arma II If so then it is probably a large problem and you may want to re-install DayZ and maybe Arma II. Nobody else is having this problem

I have been killed by players the last 7 sessions I played. And I still for some reason, first thought when I see someone is "Dont shoot him!" I dont know if it's just me seeing so many of these, but I will not be the one to shoot on sight, only if shot at.

They are to use on someone who is unconscious. They bring them up. So if you do not have a partner or group, then they are useless.

I am also having the same problem and wish to have a responce, so I can run the game through Steam instead of SicLauncher from now on.

I am also down to join up with ya'll. Steam: Killerbeavis

It is an exploit. 'realistically' would you be able to blink and suddenly have a winchester in front of you? no. And the one thing that made me laugh "Have to do in order to survive" You can easily survive if you keep moving, find supplies, and get a friend so you can heal yourself with a blood pack. It is not hard to survive.

Turn microphone setting to the max and lower everything else to a volume you wish, then other voices should be more clear

I can join you guys if you want. I am fairly new, but I am very quick at getting a hold of the game.

I have been playing for a couple days. Easily getting weapons, heading north, lasting about 2 hours minimum everytime. The only problems I face is when I get into trouble I have no backup and no body to heal me. If you are new, or are experienced, please PM me with Skype or Steam Details. I am in North American Time, so if that time suits well that will be perfect. (May not respond instantly due to sleep and all)

I am here to help :)

Mouse wheel button is what I use.

I always have my eyes on my sound and sight meters. I am slowly understanding how far away I must be for each bar, and realizing the differences between the different stances and running. I dont know how I will deal with the change with the rain and fog (Though I think it is a great Idea) But I think it is very useful to be able to see them.

I always call friendly. I will not be the one to shoot on site, I can usually win a gun fight if I have a weapon. If I had someone with me I could get blood if it does happen, but for now I will always say friendly and if bullets fly I will deal with the pain.

I had my first not so good encounter with players. I have found matches, hatchet, and knife (I was so happy about the matches first I ever had.) I was looking for extra mags for my M4A1 CCO in a firehouse. None there, debating on taking a Winchester. (I was previously talking with some otehr players making some friends but they all had people to got to) I start leaving the firehouse making a plan to head north with a Winchester, see a player at bottom of stairs, say Friendly. He fires. I kill him with my M1911. He broke my legs, so now I am crippled. he has no morphine, I have none. I was unhappy. I leave rolling around after killing like 10 zombies with my M4A1 take the Winchester. get about 30 feet from the firehouse and find out he has friends...I get killed. I was so shocked and my heart started racing. I am seeing more of these encounters in the future if I do not get some survivors to go with.
