Coldkill (DayZ)

Thanks Ill be giving it a try!

I am looking for a solid server to make my home and set up camps. Any suggestions?

Probably that because I did see a crashed chopper.

us 586

How do I fix the world wide fire I am seeing on this serveR?

Cant they just hack another Steam account and cheat suck again?

Dear Rocket, First and foremost I just wanted to thank you and your team for this experiment. It is truely one of a kind. I would like to take this time to throw you some suggestions and more importantly my feedback. Let me start off with my feedback. I have been playing DayZ for just a short time but I feel I really grasp the entire model you are shooting for and I happen to absultely LOVE IT! There are pleanty of action oriented survival/zombie apoc games out there but nothing like this hardcore pure survival angle you are taking! I absolutley love how this is extreamly emersive (sandboxy) and you truely feel alone. I love how we the players take full charge of our future and how the game design makes me long for a trustworthy team to play along side me. I am extremely interested in the survival aspect of DayZ instead of the fun, action oriented, arcade style games that are out there now. I would like to see DayZ remain a hardcore survival simulator before anything else, where players have to sit at the edge of their seats the entire time they are playing, trust no one, and need someone. I want this to remain a game where the risk is extreamly high, but the reward is much higher. I want to feel desolated and removed from civilization as if mankind is on the verge of extinction. I want to get angry and have to think like a scientist in order to be successful and say TO HELL WITH FUN! Now, please, let me drop some suggestions..... Trade/Barder system I enjoy how "real" or "legit" this experiment feels. I love how you took a hard core survival concept and implimented it into a Zombie Apocolyps instead of any other end of days senario. The zombies are all we need to bring the "fun" into this "hardcore" title. With that said, I would suggest steering away from a trade system where players trade like in Diablo for example and retain the hardcore system we have now where we have to trust those we are in company of. I think we should keep it simple like it is, yet hardcore where we must drop (or "hand") and item to our friend in exchange for somthing or give them permission (verbally) to go into our backpack and fetch it themselves. Group Play This is survival, not party time. Group play in my opinion is perfect just the way it is for the most part. Some suggestions I would say would be "ok" to impliment to make it a little bit easier to play with friends would be: (of course some of these will have to wait for your stand alone DayZ) -A system where a group of friends can join a server, create a group (party), then create their characters and spawn in the same general location. -Ability so when my friends get on (as long as we are keeping the servers privately owned) they can just click on my name in a friends menu and join the server I am currently in. -I do love how once your character is created, you have to rendezvous with your friends by trying to figure out where they have spawned and use your tools and brane to get to them. Chat I dont think there should be chat at all except for voice chat to players who are close enough to hear you and text chat to players who are close enough where they would be able to hear you. (Just the way it is now is great :)) Tools Ok, you already have all of the hard core environmental/physical tools in place. Temperature/Thirst/Hunger/Blood and you already have how the environment and your actions effect them. We already have many tools for basic survival. Compass/knife/hatchet/matches/map/parts/vehicles/etc. Some other tools that would be great are (unless they're here and I have not found them yet): -Bunker (A way to build a small bunker where you and your company can store food/water/materials and defend it against opposing forces. -Generator (a generator you can have set up so long as you have gas for it to power different tools such as lighting around your bunker that has X amount of slots which you plug power cords into) -High Intensity Lights (requires power cord and Generator) -Power Cords (see above) -Boards (used to block off rear enterances and other enterances into buildings you may want to hunker down in for a while or block windows so people can not snipe you from outside) -Wildlife (more wildlife for hunting purposes) -Katana (because I really want one in this game. Oh yeah, the sword, not the bike.) -Tracking devices (so we can track our teamates on our map when we split up) Ok I am not very creative but I love how this game makes me feel like if I try hard my reward will be amazing! Thanks for reading!!

As you know, you start out pretty much naked. You have to try your best to find some gear, normally inside some towns nearby or other zombie infested infrastructure. So, how would one be successful in living more than 38 minutes? Ok, first I have noticed that zombies are pretty much blind as a bat at night. So, you can pretty much make your way right past them if you are prone and are sure not to make more than "1bar" of noise. So what do you do if you get chased? Weather it is day or night (much easier to loose them at night), what I do is this. I run out to an open field (standing run full sprint). I dont care how much more aggro I get on the way to my open field. I keep running and dodging in and out of foliage, you know, the small brown and green bushes that are about 6 feet tall. The zombies tend to stop running after me for a second, then give chase again. Just by weaving through the foliage I can get it down to usually 1 stubborn ass zombie. A little more jukeing in and out of bushes while looking behind me and I notice he is far back, now I crouch and run while Jukeing through bushes again till I lose the last one. The 15 shot rifle is eppic for us noobs. The Winchester I think it is called. Keep an eye out for a bigger backpack laying around as well. Keep only 1 stack of flairs/glowsticks (if you really want to use em at night which I dont cause it attracts other players to me). To conserve bag space, I will carry only the ammo to the gun I actually have on my person. Along with my side arm ammo. I dont pick up extra ammo that goes to guns I dont have so long as I am liking my current setup. Keep a supply of canned food and soda for the quick quench of hunger and thirst and keep an eye out for a canteen. Combat knife will be used for gutting animals so you can really go hunting for food. Just my thoughts for now.....Thank you rocket for one incredible game mod!

My char got whiped with this latest patch, was I the only one?

Do characters always get reset when an update comes out?

I need serious help. I have a broken bone and have no idea where to get morphine or other ways to fix it. HELP! Thanks in advance!

What do you mean, Reload, you mean reload my firearm? That helps you?

Is it normal that my guns wont always be on my character when I exit and come back later?
