No problem, glad we could help ^_^

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/160262-need-medical-assistance-in-dayz-sa-find-your-medic-here/ If you want some help, you can join our Teamspeak and we can either talk you through fixing it, or come to your location and feed you :)

People come to my clan's TS server specifically to get help, so there are many people who want my help. I have been alive for over 6 weeks, so that idea you have about being killed is not always true.

That article credited the video I posted as the source ;)

The only way to regain health (the cause of your blurriness) is to get "healthy" and naturally regenerate health. IV and blood have no impact on this. If you want a comprehensive rundown on the mechanics of blood/health, you can watch this video:

Making such a sweeping statement that your playstyle is the only way to have "fun" in Dayz is ignorant, you have missed the whole point of this game altogether. You may have fun running around shooting every player you see, but I have fun running around patching people up and giving them food/water. After playing the mod since it first came out as a bandit, I decided to try a different playstyle for the SA and discovered how much more fun I was having. Everyone is entitled to their own playstyle, that is what makes Dayz a great game. Without bandits, I wouldn't have a job as a medic :)

+1 am hoping to see this myself.

Why is this even a discussion? Rocket stated numerous times that he will not implement something like this.

I just wanted to give some tips for people struggling to survive in DayZ. I have been alive since the 23rd of December on a single character, I have not killed a single player (except one time I killed my friend to test something with his permission) and I have done 20+ medic runs as a Trusted Medic of the Wasteland, which has put me in the line of fire multiple times. As a friendly medic, I never shoot unless I am shot upon and absolutely HAVE to return fire. I have 250+ hours logged on DayZ, and before you ask: I don't sit in the forest hiding all day....unless I am milking my type o- blood with a friend :P Here are my tips for survival: Get the "Healthy" status ASAP and keep it. This is the only way to regenerate your health. Eat all food as soon as you find it, and drink at every pond/well you find until your stomach is full.Don't play on 40/40 servers. Most of the people joining these servers are just looking to kill other players. I tend to stay around 20/40 servers (but never empty, that is boring).Leave the coast as soon as you find a melee weapon. Everything you need to survive can be found inland, and murder spree junkies hang out on the coast camping fresh spawns for fun(?).DONT climb ladders, DONT go upstairs. These are both recipes for death, especially ladders. You can run straight through walls, doors can push you through walls, and players can push you through walls....and you will fall to your death. Hopefully these will be fixed, but even when they are I will still follow these rules.If you see a player in your town and they don't see you, leave if you can. People fail to realize that they don't have to stay in a town, and instead they rationalize KOS with "if I don't kill them, they will kill me". Usually the situation can be avoided altogether.If you like to do player interaction as I do, make sure you make vocal contact before showing yourself. Speak to the person and listen to their voice. Usually you can tell a bandit by the way they speak (but some sound deceivingly friendly). Always assume the worst, and never turn your back and let your guard down. Don't run up to an armed player yelling friendly and hope for the best...9 times out of 10 you will get shot. If you want to see how NOT to play friendly, watch DevilDogGamer's "Friendly?" video, where he fails entirely at player interaction in order to make a point that KOS/Bandit is the only way to play the game and survive. He is wrong.Before entering a town/city, take a few minutes to observe the town from a high vantage point. See if you spot movement or hear any shots fired then make the decision if you want to take the risk. Usually players who shoot zombies tend to be trigger happy with players as well. If the area has popular sniper spots, approach them from behind and clear the spot before you consider entering the town.Hope these tips help someone in their survival. Some claim that the friendly play style is not fun, but it is in fact a far greater challenge that is much more rewarding in the long run. If I want to get in big gunfights, I hop onto arma 2/3 wasteland and have a blast. When I want to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, I play Dayz :)

Please try taking a minute to read through a post before responding. For those asking how I haven't been wiped, the only hive-wide character wipe that has happened so far was on December 18th. I avoid the wipes that most people encounter by simply having a list of known "safe" servers that I log onto which I know will never reset my character data.

Edited OP to include something along these lines, didn't think to add it while writing the post. :)

Hunting down players is really easy as well. The most dangerous game is going into major cities to help people you've just met, all while following strict rules of engagement. Anyone looking for a real challenge in DayZ should give it a try.

It seems that some servers consistently reset your character data. I want to make a list of servers that wipe character data so people can avoid them, and a list of servers that are safe to join. Right now I use my second account to check a server before I join, and I'll be using him to check a bunch of servers this weekend. If you know any servers that fall into either category, post them here and I'll get a list going. Unsafe: FR 3-102 Safe: CA 3-201 DE 3-102 NY 3-320 hosted by TGB-Clan US Central 1-13 (unverified) US Central 1-52 US 775-2 hosted by GameServers US East 1-41 hosted by MPGS US 1-145 hosted by MPGS US East 1-12 hosted by MPS Bugtracker issue: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=78

It may be worth considering if you made a mistake before forming a hypothesis. Eliminate all variables, then come back with some results :D

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9YSGX22B6Z3k9-hJzJcz4w/videos If you think blood testers are too rare take a view of these videos, they are rather balanced considering the current blood mechanics That was the basis of my post, I was type o- and it never hurt my medical patients in my many medic runs. That doesn't necessarily prove my point, but makes it highly unlikely considering the amount of successful o- bags I've delivered without an issue

I had tons of type o- blood bags drawn from me and gave out around 10 of them, never had a patient negatively effected by my blood. If you die your blood type changes, and you have to be careful if you have more than 1 type of blood in your inventory. Thetop-leftmost blood bag in your inventory slots will be used first, no matter if you dragged each blood type to your inventory individually.

Could we please get some kind of official confirmation that the devs are aware of the desync issue and are working on a fix? This has made the game unplayable for the last week+

Still getting the desync issue.

If you want tanks in DayZ, you are playing the wrong game :/

This issue should be priority #1 as it makes the game unplayable for a lot of people. I haven't logged in for 2 days because I don't want to lose my 3 week old character to an invisible player. I run with 7 medical bags and 2 yellow boxes (no nested containers) but I need to carry these as a medic. Dropping my bags and losing 18 slots is not an option for me :/

There are countless threads about this already, why do people feel the need to make more?

Playing as a medic to random people you meet along the road is extremely dangerous, much less so if they come into voice chat first and you meet on your terms. It is also a very bad idea to go into Elektro right now, because with the new spawn locations Elektro is a bloodbath. Don't give up the good fight, playing as a medic will always be more rewarding than being a bandit :)

I've been searching for the beige baseball cap for a long time and can't find it yet. I've been planning to do this exact hero setup but that damn cap eludes me...:(

I would really like to see squad.xml, it doesn't matter if people would spray inappropriate things on their vehicles/clothing. People are able to do that in real life if they choose, so why not in a sandbox style game?
