Cant see the designs, but I would buy one with the Day Z logo on the front with "Anyone in Cherno?" or "Sure I'm friendly" on the back. I wouldnt want any weapons in the design though, just a personal thing.

I had this happen at the northern supermarket in Berezino. I tried to crouch walk across the road from the market to the apartment buildings but aggro'd 1 who copped an akm round to the head, but then every zed and his mate heard the shot and so I ran back to the supermarket and killed about 10 and realised that more were coming. I avoided the ones coming in the back doors and ran out that way and into the field to some trees. I was able to get away but yeah its getting tough to stealth past them now, and that was around the time I started getting the graphics glitch so had to make sure I wasnt looking towards the military tents.

Noticed this when I looked towards the mil tents in Berezino, as soon as I looked away the problem went away. Will keep an eye on this thread to see if a solution presents itself.

In terms of hunting knives, factories seem to spawn them, or the buildings in their immediate vicinity. I always find 1 or 2 in the buildings around the factory between Orlovets and Polana. I cant find matches for the life of me, I have the knife and hatchett but cant get the matches. I am surviving on the cans of food I find but I would like to be able to avoid towns and cities. I check all the supermarkets and barns I come across but no luck so far.

I also like the night but I got lucky and found some NV gear at a helicopter crash so it isnt the same experience as yours. Last night I logged into a server with only 12 others and when I logged out there was only 2 players left. The dark doesnt affect the zombies like I thought it would, their aggro distance doesnt seem to change at night. I am yet to use chemlights or road flares, although the sound from a breaking whiskey bottle does seem to carry at night.

I did not know about the days alive thing, thanks that is the new thing I learned today

Avoid the front of a hospital and go to the back. There is usually a small box of supplies at ground level plus a ladder up to the roof where you can access another box of meds. You have to break the glass to get at the supplies at the front of the building and that alerts zeds and bandits.

Hatchets are weapons too :(

You need an option where you can just be the Grizzly Adams mountain hermit dude. Thats me at the moment, I avoid all contact and the only person I shot was following me after I made it clear I was not friendly and didnt want to team. I have had too many encounters with people just wanting to kill me, its safer to just not interact. The worst for me was spending a minute or so chatting via direct and being able to search each others pack and then getting shot in the face, kind of changed my outlook in game.

I always assumed the military zeds had some form of body or flak armour, which is why they take 2 shots to drop from the smaller caliber weapons. Larger caliber rounds just punch through the armour.

I had a glitch last night where I lost all the ammo for a winchester, 3 clips of slugs. I had cleared space in the backpack for the gun, 10 slots, but when I moved the gun into the pack all the ammo disappeared. It didnt drop on the ground or anything, it just disappeared. I wasnt even in the process of picking up the hunting rifle, that was the reason for wanting the 2nd gun, so annoyed.

um, we must be twins? I had my first murder last night after nearly a month in game, I dont like the feeling. axe wielding dude wandered into the tower without checking it out and got 3 makarov rounds to the back of the head for his troubles. I have managed to avoid people, but of all the deaths I have had, zombies have only gotten me once. I normally game with a friend but he is unavailable for another week or so, so I am lone wolfing it to see how long I can last. Am doing well so far, avoiding people and cities, looting deer stands, barns and small towns.

I am sporting the William Wallace look this season, blue face paint is all the rage. Whats funny is in 3rd person all I see are that my ears are painted blue, but when I roll I get a quick glimpse of my face. In game is there another way to see your face?

Cant join in tonight but will hit you guys up over the weekend.

Hi my name in game is Pearce been playing for a couple of weeks but as with all things life gets in the way so it has only really been 4-5 days worth of gaming. I am based in Australia and I have posted a grudge against a Matt(2) but it is on one of the Aus or NZ servers. I am loving this mod in spite of the bugs and glitches and bandits. I was eased into the game by a friend and we tend to party up but when solo I am always looking for help.
