Dosent the hosting server have any impact also? particularly when in built up areas in game? I have noticable differences when in towns and cities but when in open grounds no issues! could this be down to spawn / player rates? I dont have an expensive rig setup, but sufficient for the game engine. Some servers make me lag like hell, my 100mb dosent help apparently.

Just out of interest what update and patch are you on? perhaps the difficulty is an older patch? Failing that, Patience and crawling everywhere while taking care to notice your ear and eye icons is the only way to go unless you do the Run around like a loony at respawn. I have the volume up also so I can hear the grunts and whines of Zeds, remembering line of sight (LOS) rule you can't go wrong. Have some morphine and bandages spare also, it helps.

Any chance you could link this with a video? I dont think I've seen this at all, that may help?

Is it me, but lately I dont find anything in deer stands, Unless they are being patrolled by military types and then its a few ammo types or flares and I have played long hours and never found a pack in any of them?!? Supermarkets and flats / living blocks have had them. I must also stress I find good stuff when there are fewer players on a server. In fact I find really good stuff when there are fewer players try it find a supermarket when theres less players, you'll be in the woods surviving for days.

I asked about this, do you mean the blue dot /arrow on the map? Its only on certain servers. I questioned the point of GPS when I have the marker and someone pointed it is allowed on certain learner, easy type server hosts.

I did the same thing watching the game walkthroughs on the tinternet, saw how easy it was when players just seemed to stroll through zed infested areas. and for a time it was Then they updated the Mod, and I found the sensitivity of the zeds were increased and made it harder for players to do the strolling. I find (theres a post) Patience is the only way to play, with a side order of knowing thy enemy also. If you get the chase scenario, jump over fences, run into a building let them enter behind you and then peg it out the other door (Works only with 2 door buildings, dont attempt it in a log house type or your broken punctured lung food) Just do your best to lose LINE OF SIGHT. My best method for losing them is to run up a steep hill at an angle and A. Carry on running till you lose LINE OF SIGHT. B. Turn and shoot them (Weapon dependant) Dont climb a ladder, I find unless theres another ladder or escape on the same building, they may follow you up or hang around the base of the ladder (Snipers are in their element too. All in all, Patience, Patience, Patience.:dodgy:

First time I met a survivor, I crapped em. He/she shot me! Second time i met a survivor, he/she aggroed some zeds and ran right up to me, I died. Third time I met a survivor I was terrified of being let down again. This one moved back and assessed the situation. From that point on I always move back (Weapon drawn or not) to signify I mean no harm. It hasnt let me down and you soon get to know the Killers from this simple gesture. I dont have a mic so dont scream down it "friendly" In fact i have been through the major towns / Cities with the only threat being Zeds and Fence and Tank trappers (blocking access)

The map will only show your point on certain servers (I was just told this in my first post) I tend to find a town name and look for it on a map, from there i can figure out where i am in regards to the map using buildings and the like.

Hello Dayz world, I've been reading these forums for a while and found a wealth of information as and when i needed it, there is nowhere else I'd sign up with, Thankyou. I have a few queries regarding the game, some of which i can't find other post's. 1. What's with the wire fence pinging sound, I crap em each and everytime i hear it wondering who what and f.e.a.r. 2. Why do i have a Blue marker on the map that shows me where I am? Whats the point of a GPS (I have one) when i can see myself each and everytime on my map (When i have one) 3. I recently updated to the 94444 update and found I had lost my Ghilie suit. I was wondering why I lost this when the rest of my stuff were perfectly safe? 4. Do the crow screams signify anything in particular? I have only notice it when others are around my character (dead and semi dead!!), or is this a simple jinx brought upon by my belief and I spend time in looking around like a paranoid loon? 5. Any advice on where to find Morphine injectors besides the hospitals? reason being I am in the NWAF and now crawling back to the coast. 6. Is there any work being done on the Infected when they line up to attack you, as the one in front is comsuming my bullets when they swarm me (Picture me shooting like fuck when they come for me but with the delay of the death animation I end up using most of my rounds on the front one and then get twatted by the rear end (bunch) Thanks I appreciate the Info.
