Fraggle (DayZ)

No, no, and no. Sorry dude, I'm not trolling, I read your post but that's just my opinion.

Yes they can. They seem particularly keen on doing it if you shoot them in the legs.

Yup, good call. My starting strategy is to go to Electro first when I have nothing to lose, It's a great way of getting your basic stuff quickly, as long as you don't get shot in the face. Heres my top tips to get you up and running: a ) Get an axe as ASAP. This'll help you take out Zeds without telling the whole world where you are. b ) Use the axe to break the hospital windows if you have to then stock up on Meds. Mainly Morphine, this'll save your life often when you brake your legs. c ) Head for the 2 firestations (you'll see their towers). It's very risky but you can get good military grade weapons early on from these. d ) Visit at least one supermarket. If your lucky you'll get most of your basics here including the holy trinity (matches, knife, axe) then you can hunt for food and say goodbye to the beans. e ) If you hear flies buzzing around you might find a dead player. Loot the corpse. If your lucky, they'll have done all the hard work for you. f ) Don't get greedy. When you have the basics, head for the hills. You can easily find a shotgun and a sidearm in the small villages and surrounding barns. Good luck.

Yup, as far as I know.

Maps are fairly common in Cherno or Electro. I've only ever found one GPS in my whole time playing DayZ so good luck with that. It sounds like your at the power plant just to the North of Electro. If you go south you'll see the city, it's a good place to get your starting gear (compass, map and so on) but it's risky too. If you head north without a map then it's just a case of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.

Unfortunatley, I don't want to appear as a bandit because I had to kill a few people after getting ambushed or defending my tent. It's too much of a grey area. So, no, I don't want to see them back in.

You should add the server name to the thread title so they see your post. Also, report them for Admin abuse, bastards.

If you don't want to use spoiler maps then you'll find an in-game map in supermarkets and some other places. To get a sense of direction the clouds always come from the west and of course if you know what time it is (with a watch) you can use the shadows to get a heading.

It's a weather effect that also happens in DayZ. Dense fog is very rare but you'll often see mist on some days. I love it because it make snipers lives a misery.

If your using a map that shows locations like that your making snipers lives very easy. Even a noob with a sniper rifle can get an instant range on you and zero it without any skill. Just my thoughts. Good luck.

The PDW. I really hate that brick parading itself as a weapon. I'd actually prefer a brick.

When you hop out of bed to start a brand new exciting day and your legs snap beneath you.

Helis aren't a great threat and they can be dealt with using an AS50 with anti-material rounds. If people had stingers there'd be no point in flying one at all. It'd be certain death.

if it's since the new update it's getting fixed with a hotfix tomorrow. It's caused by wire fencing and military corpses at the moment.

I think the more variation the better as long as the guns don't unbalance the gameplay. I'd love to see tripwires that send up a flare. Would be a great way of lighting up people looking for tents or to secure a building.

It's tricky because the key to getting this game right is all about balance for me. The thing I love about Arma & Day Z is that even if your carrying high-grade stuff it still only takes a couple of shots to put someone down. It means players are measured by their levels of skill rather than the size of their gun. I'm just having a quick think about what weapons/gear I'd like to see added (I'm eating my lunch) then I'll let you know.

I'm pretty sure he said in his post not to bother trolling.

I'm all up for more gear being added, I'm not sure about more military grade stuff though. The actual list of available weapons they could pluck straight from Arma is endless. As it stand they've said that they're not concentrating on adding content for the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the final product has the things mentioned above and more. For now they're just ironing out bugs. I love the idea of body armour but it worries me that it might unbalance the game further where we'll end up with the top end guys (NVG's, thermal scopes, Body armour) having no competition once they (we) reach that point. For now I like the fact that a dude with a shotgun can still have a (barely) fighting chance if he plays his card right.

Yup, it's not fog of war, it's the weather system. Some days are clear, some are misty, others have fog. Use it to your advantage. Snipers hate mist and fog.

Nope, I don't think so not if they're wearing it. If they have it in their inventory then you can take it though.

Yup, just open your backpack, click your sidearm and then move it across. It takes 5 slots. Main weapons take 10 slots. Just make sure you have enough room first otherwise it might disapear.

Nice one. Some of my best experiences in the game have come form helping noobs.

Nice one.

It's a problem with Battleye and Arma. Nothing the Dayz guys can do about it. Bohemia are working on it apparently.

It's always a gamble. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. In my experience, as long as I'm careful, it pays off.
