Bump for old time sake, 1-2 things are out dated but I think this could still help new players.

I want a freaking bomb disposal suit that can take a satchel charge to the face :D Downside, you can only walk with it, no running. impervious to zombies but enough of them might actually block you in.

I did not realize the length of that URL while copying it on my phone... Holy hell

It has to be the ringtone from Jurassic park 3 though.

I like it more than global chat. Could add some very interesting/funny encounters such as placing a bunch of phones in a city and watching a survivor freak out as they all start to go off :).

Maybe give a invisible xp to the person every time they do it to make it easier and easier every time they operate. A newb might shake a lot and screw up the needle or cut. You would of course loose your xp if you die :) giving more value to the player than just his loot.

Hopefully this would create more incentive to band together with random people. They would be given value instead of just their loot. I think a mix of current mechanics and this would work really well, joe schmo can still use a bandage to stop the bleeding but will need a surgeon to remove the bullet. Short term effects: As long as its in you, it should have a slight adverse effect such as an arm wound will make you sway a bit while aiming or a leg wound will slow your movement. long term effect: such as infection or even after a period of time, irreversible short term effects. Vital shots should reduce your total health possible till fixed. This would require a lot of variable scripting with ranges and % depending on how well you perform the actions.

Reading this thread: At first I was like, But the I was like,

thanks

Getting tired of running around solo, i've been playing for a month or so and i'm to the point where i can usually get a gun within the first 15mins of playing and be fully geared for the country side in less than an hour. Currently i just spawned and am around cherno, in 20mins i picked up an AK, alice pack and full survival gear. To give you an idea of how i play, i created a How To thread about a month ago, it was written 4 days after i got the game. http://dayzmod.com/f...-without-a-gun/ Im looking for a mature, preferably tactical, group, bandits or survivors, doesn't really matter. PM me or skype @ Dzuarii

I prefer to snipe :) and i'm very good and over-watch and spotting. I've been sticking to assault rifles though due to running solo, a lot more versatile

thanks for the offer but i want to stay in the US, lag is bad enough as is

This is partially discussed in my [HOW TO] Survive Starting Without A Weapon Thread, http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=32464 , but i want to make a separate thread to hopefully get people to play a little nicer :). ***This guide only applies to meeting 1 Person, people act completely different in a group.*** If there are two or more people, just run. --------------------------------------------------------------------- K, people complain about it being to hard to start without a weapon but i think its to promote more player interaction to force us to work together more and not shoot each other on site for our stuff. It also puts more value on the stuff u actual have and makes you think twice before shooting around zombies and if you have a conscious i guess it makes you feel a little bad for killing someone that probably put a lot of time getting what little he had. I've been playing for 4 days now and here is my experience so far with players. - Most of them aren't dicks out to shoot you. - Zombies keep you alive, Crazy right? :) They help to diffuse the situation, no one wants to shoot a player just to have 20 zombies rip them apart :), it also give you a common enemy. - Use your VOIP, DON'T TYPE. "Caps Lock" is your push to talk button and "." & "," is used to cycle throw your channels. Make sure you have your VOIP set to direct communication when you first join a game. Its the very first thing i do and you can actually cycle through them before your player even loads. - If you run into a player without a gun, now is the time to become friends because he can't kill you if he wanted too. If you have a gun even better, this tells him you can easy kill him but would rather work together. Its up to you if you want to hang around the guy once he can shoot you :). -start to associate yourself with the person, If you understand a bit about psychology then you'll probably get this. When a person first meets you in this game they will assume you will kill them and take all their stuff. they will feel no remorse for shooting some guy they don't know, But there is one thing on your side and thats human nature. We naturally want to be around people and communicate, its built into us and you should use it to your advantage. As soon as you open your mouth and start talking you are no longer a threat, most people will at least listen to what your saying before they shoot you, so keep talking :). WHEN YOU RUN INTO A PLAYER - immediately Hit "Caps Lock" and say friendly, preferable in a paniced voice and repeated 3-10 times . this give the other guy the sense that your just as scared of him as he is of you, a voice is a much better first impression than some text. Also pay attention to what he's doing and how he sounds. If hes running around looking for stuff he's probably just scavenging, if he is held up in a building overlooking an area, he's probably a bandit. Now if you both startle each other and he doesn't immediately shoot you, he probably doesn't want to. Pay attention to how he sounds, if he is afraid he will immediately say friendly or don't shoot and start backing away, if he doesn't sound or look afraid of you, he probably isn't. If he takes more than 5 seconds to respond using VOIP and/or doesn't have a clear shot, it not because he's AFK, its because he is concentrating on shooting you the first chance he gets. Bandits will usually have a long pause before saying "friendly" because they are focusing on shooting you, and if you've played this game for more than 2 seconds you know it takes a lot of concentration to do anything :). They will also usually have a monotone, quick, "friendly" just to lure you out and shoot you. Being able to read someones voice and body language is the best tool you have starting out. Now if they don't shoot you then you should determine if this is a guy you should follow or go on your own. I usually start some small talk to ease the situation, How long you been playing? tell them you just started, ask for some tips, care if i come with you? Stuff like that. now don't ask things like, you playing with anyone else, where you headed, can i have something because this guy doesn't know if your playing with people to and you're just scouting to get him and his friends killed. --------------------------------------------------------------- MY EXPERIENCES I've ran across 5-8 players in 3 days in the cities and started playing with them and only 1 guy has shot me so far, and he was held up in a pub with his friend aiming a gun at the door i walked through, after i said friendly and tried to talk to him. Two of the people i ran across both had guns, i did too, we both didn't shoot and started to play together. The first time was out in the country, not the city. he followed me to a barn then watched me enter and leave down the hill for the town. He picked up the CZ500(sniper rifle) in the barn because i left it. Once i was down to the road i checked my back and saw him, i continued acting un-alarmed untill he lost sight of me then laid down behind a wall and watched, he could have killed me but didn't so i figured he was friendly. He began down the hill till he was at the opposite side of the wall, he crawled around till he saw me pointing a barrel down his throat about 2m away and freaked out screaming friendly :) i said friendly really quick and calmed him down. I then started to diffuse the situation by strategizing with him on how to get into this supermarket. however we ended up being eaten alive. The second was at the power plant in elektro, he and a shotgun and i had nothing, i ran by him saying friendly and we headed upstairs and a AK74-Cobra was laying there, he said i could have it then we continued on our ways. I hope this guide helps some people, feel free to add any tips or suggestions and leave your opinion on most people playing this game.

You don't necessarily have be an expert to write a guide on something. I wrote this one 4 days http://dayzmod.com/f..._20#entry283486 and everyone who comments likes it and even people playing longer than me learned some things. Im really just sharing what i do and i don't get shot a lot, 9/10 times people let me be. If it didn't work i wouldn't have wrote it :)

ya i noticed that yesterday, i aggroed a bunch from running around elektro docks

U saved me today with this :)

I like it

all three cities are pretty much guaranteed contact.
