The randomness of zombie caused fractures is dumb.
schwifty replied to davidecibel's topic in New Player Discussion
Morphine does spawn up north and in those military tents too, and the barracks, and almost every military building. If everything is spawned in there and its all junk, pick it up, move it and wait 5 minutes. Also the animations are limiting to what they can do. Just imagine what the zombie would be doing right up to you. Grabbing, clawing, smashing. Sometimes things require a little imagination, it is a video game after all. -

Can't break glass from the hospital(factory)
schwifty replied to kibah's topic in New Player Discussion
took 2 full mags from a makarov last night.. best option is putting your main weapon in your bag and pulling the axe from your tool belt. Also it only breaks if you shoot the glass on the doors. If you just shoot the windows you will waste all ur ammo. -
I dont understand Zeroing.... at all
schwifty replied to austendude's topic in New Player Discussion
You will learn how to judge distances... you can play around with opening your map, shift clicking on the map where an object is you can see and it will put a way point that tells you how far away it is. So if you are on the runway, open map, shift click on the ATC. Close map and the hud tells you the distance if the server allows 'show hud'. If it is 500m, press pgup/pgdwn until the zeroing says 500 and shoot. play with it till you learn then after a while you wont even need a range finder or this technique. I think DayZ does have range finders in it from arma 2 but they are super rare (heard they did, havent looked into it). They work like binoculars but have a lazer in them to aim at a target and tells you the exact distance. Also if the server doesnt allow hud and doesnt show you on map you can go to a building that appears on the map, look at another building. Open map and count the 100m lines between you and the target. This will also help you to learn to judge distances in game. -
Trading Diablo 3 Gear ( Wizard lvl 60-63 Elemental resistance ) for endgear (NVG, RF, M24, ghilli, m107)
schwifty replied to vsbriCk's topic in New Player Discussion
I dont think its the language he cant comprehend, its the idea of what is going on here. -
Press G to bring up the gear menu, right click on a bandage (they are in the same slots as pistol ammo) select the 'bandage self' option.

oops, delete please.

Apart from whatever anyone else is saying about learning your time zones, this suggestion would be better suited on the 6updater site. Chances are Sickboy has never read a DayZ forum post in his life and no one on the DayZ new player boards works for Sickboy. Making this a big waste of typing to suggest it here.

Should probably take your copy of D3 to whoever sold it to you and punch him in the face for not warning you how much of a waste of time and money it is. It is a severely addicting game for about 3 weeks till it gets old. At any rate, you would be better off putting your gear up on the real money auction and putting that money toward DayZ when they release the full version. -
To communicate use direct chat... (cycle through channels with . or ,) most servers have side chat turned off and group doesnt do anything in DayZ. You can use ingame voip or text with direct but its only short range (sound of voice). My favorite communication method is talking to people through the barrel of my riffle. Usually works out better in the end.

Damn shame, have you talked to your doctor? IF you are trying to refuel directly from the gas station you can. You need gas cans to take gas from the big gas storage tanks (white ish). Fill gas cans, go to vehicle, refuel vehicle, repeat till full.

I Just Murdered Someone / Should I Have?
schwifty replied to Obsolescence's topic in New Player Discussion
Shoulda tossed a grenade up there!! -
Loot list says anything that spawns in any other normal military building (Tents, barracks, ATC towers, hangars) can spawn in deer stands.

M24 M16 Acog (wand the L85 ASW) Reason is when I solo I want sustained fire and larger mags for getting rid of zombies and pesky players who want my loot. The m24 comes in when I meet up with friends, I get to have a nice lay down in the grass and watch their backs while they look for loot in towns and the airfield. Sniper riffles are only for players pretty much. No point in using them on zombies. I used to roll with an M4 cco SD and a non SD weapon. SD ammo isnt as easy to find so I used that one only when needed but its good for players and zombies for obvious reasons. Got attacked by bandits, they got my buddy, I hid and took out 3 of them before 2 ran away cause they had no idea where I was, killed a 4th while he was trying to split. Once you run out of ammo tho the gun is too valuable just to toss, and tents are too easily raided, so the second goes in the backpack till I find more ammo.

You need weapons to kill the zombies to get to the weapons.
schwifty replied to 170's topic in New Player Discussion
Yes you can exploit, and why stop there, go find yourself some cheats too!! Then you dont even have to go and get gear, just give it to yourself with the cheat!! Then you can give yourself an Apache with an AI gunner too!!! -
Winchester or AKM --- Preferred weapon
schwifty replied to Blackbook's topic in New Player Discussion
Apples and oranges... AKM all the way, big round, abundant ammo, and bigger mags for less reloading and more ammo carrying capacity. -
It is considered an exploit, some logitech keyboards you need to turn off the f-lock.

If you look on the right side of the screen, you see an eye and an ear icon with bars beside. More bars = bad, less bars = good. Also you notice holding shift and moving makes you walk, which lowers the ear bars. Crouching or laying down and moving lowers the eye bars...... = good. At 0/0 or 1/0 or 0/1 bars for eyes, ears. You can usually sneak within 15 feet of zombies. Sneak into buildings, get guns. -
The list on the DB map are 'possible' vehicle spawns. Only a certain amount of them will be there once the server restarts. More wont be available until the current ones are destroyed and the server restarts again. Once you find one you should fix it up right away if you want to keep it. Once you fix the hull enough to get the gear option you should be able to save it. It will save in that location for 3 days. So if you dont go back for it, it will disappear.

Roger that, the difficulty is the general rule, admins can set custom server settings though.

You know someone is bored at work when they actually take the time to look through this thread. Thought the first post was rock bottom, then it keeps going.
