Hello fellow DayZ players. It's been a while since I've played and was wondering if there was anything new that was implemented in the game(that's worth mentioning). I'm pretty sure hackers and KoSers are still ubiquitous. I've just finished updating the game and don't want to go in unprepared. Thank you all.

Sounds great. Thanks for the reply.

Edit: I'm sorry fellow players but I won't be able to play for a while. I have some personal things to attend to at the moment so if you need help, please PM Dr. Cocks or post at the thread below. Thank you all for your kind words and I hope to get back soon. Hello new players. My in game name is Dr. Phil and I am a zombie with sunglasses on who is here to help. If I see you, I will direct voice you and help you find items to help your DayZ journey. Don't be afraid and do not attack me. I usually play on US servers but may hop onto UK ones too. If you require assistance, send a PM WITH YOUR SKYPE/STEAM NAME PLEASE!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS! WILL MY PC/LAPTOP RUN THIS GAME?!?!?!?! http://www.systemreq...cyri/intro.aspx - Select Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead to see if your PC can handle Arma 2. http://community.bis...em_Requirements - Straight from the ARMA 2 Developers. My pc met just over the minimum requirements with: CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 4.1 GB OS: Windows 7 GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series HOW DO I INSTALL THIS GAME?!?!?!?! http://dayzwiki.com/...RMA2_Beta_patch WHERE THE HECK AM I?!?!?!?! When you first spawn, look on the bottom right and there should be 3 white words 1st: Chernarus 2nd:(THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO LOOK!) 3rd: Days alive(Thanks Gogster) When the coast is on your right shoulder, that means you are going east(towards elektro depending on where you spawn) and vice versa. WHERE SHOULD I GO?!?!?!?! It really depends on where you spawn, but going to Chernogornsk or Elektrovadskr is great for finding loot although it will be dangerous. You'll know you're in Chernogornsk when you see/hear a clocktower, see a yellow construction crane, and/or you see the gigantic hotel. Elektrovadskr has two fire stations and I don't know what else stands out here. Some would suggest not to go to big cities but from experience, I've found that going to these major cities will lead to some sort of loot. HOW THE HECK DO I TALK TO PEOPLE?!?!?!?! Press the "," or "." key until you get into "Direct Channel" and then press "/" to type and "CAPS LOCK" (press twice to toggle it on) to talk with your mic. It is not global so only people around your area(I've read 20m and 40m) will hear you. Use at your own risk. I CANT OPEN THESE DOORS OR CLIMB LADDERS OR PICK UP STUFF!!! Whenever you see a green icon, that means you can perform an action. You can either use the mouse scroll to pick what action you want to use and press left click, or you can just press the mouse scroll button. HOW THE HECK DO I USE STUFF?!?!?!?! Press "G" to bring up your "INVENTORY" and items on the right side of the inventory menu(in the boxes), you need to right click them in order to use them. In order to use items in your tool belt(at the bottom of your inventory menu where you see your flashlight, is the tool belt), you must right click the item then press remove from tool belt. This only applies to Hatchets/Fireaxes and Flashlights. Crowbars are automatically put in your primary slot. L is the button to toggle flash lights on and off. You need to RELOAD your hatchet/crowbar before using it by pressing R WHY DON'T I SPAWN WITH A WEAPON AND WHERE CAN I GET ONE?!?!?!?! Go to buildings such as ones that look like http://picacid.com/a...la_old_open.jpg or http://picacid.com/a...d_Barn_W_01.jpg There are usually hatchets and shotguns there. HOW DO I TAKE STUFF OFF BODIES?!?!?!?! Go to a dead body, scroll and click "GEAR" and the NUMBERS you see to the LEFT of the ITEM NAME are the items that are on the dead body. So in order to move it into your inventory, just click l> or right arrow until the number is on the right side of the item name. It will now be in your inventory. Also, you can open your pack by scrolling all the way down in the inventory and highlight the bag then click OPEN BAG which is on the bottom right. Your bag should now be open and you can place things in there. OMG I JUST DIED, ARGH HELP ME I HATE THIS GAME!!!!!!? No worries, you will die a lot in this game and you can always retrieve your dead body. I NEED BLOOD, WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?! Eating/drinking regular food(coke, pasta, beans, etc), will recover 200 of your blood while killing an animal and cooking its meat will recover 800. In order to cook food, you need WOOD which can be harvested/chopped by going to any tree and right clicking it in your tool belt "HARVEST WOOD", and a "BOX OF MATCHES". Set the wood on the floor, scroll the action and set it on fire. Cook the meat via inventory(right clicking). Viola. WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SHOOTING ME?!?!?!?! That's just how the community is right now. If you see someone with a gun and he tries talking to you, be very cautious or run. ALWAYS reply to others when they're asking for you(assuming you want to meet the person) so there is a chance that they won't kill you and actually help you. When looting major cities like Chernogornsk and Elektrovadsk, try avoiding supermarkets, offices, and firestations until you're comfortable or you want to take the risk of finding great loot. There are usually snipers(legitimate and hacked) waiting to blow your brains out. THIS GAME IS SO HARD OMG!!!! Not really a question but I've seen it so much it makes me sick. It's supposed to be challenging because it's post apocalypse and well, there really isn't much left. Just keep playing and it'll be fun. Will update this thread if need be and if n00bz want me to(pictures too?). Feel free to contribute and I will add it into this post. Edit: Changed up some more stuff, changed the topic title.

one last post before I am gone.

sorry guys but I won't be able to play for a while. I have personal matters I must attend to.

sounds great.

Sounds great! Hmm, sounds like a trap...

Oops, my mistake but I suppose it's good experience(although 15 minutes is a bit tedious). There's a good chance I'll be on later tonight so if anyone still needs help, feel free to talk to me and please have a steam/skype so that we may communicate. And thanks Monster for replying to people. And thanks Sula for all the beans haha

Double posting to let others know that Dr. Tatoo and Dr. Cocks can be reached also(see first post).

Sorry I couldn't help you. I'm really busy with IRL stuff at the moment but I might be able to get on tonight(9 PST) or tomorrow. So did I, sorry good sir. Also, if anyone requires immediate assistance and I don't respond within 5-10 minutes(usually I get PMs around 6 in the morning and I'm not up that early), try this thread. dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3910-need-medical-assistance-we-can-help/ I've been very busy fellas but hope to play again soon.

There is hope for you. At least you have a conscience when shooting others and not do it out of pure "lulz" as youth say today. It was the right thing to do as monster said. How could you have known if he was friendly or hostile?

feel free to drop a pm :)

I can't play at the moment but to answer your question, http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3910-need-medical-assistance-we-can-help/

No problem. Haven't been playing as often but I hope to help some people soon.

thanks man and no problem Updated the first post with Video Settings under "Noob Faqs"

Bump

hehe, good call. Updated

uh update your arma 2 game using sixlauncher. This should go to troubleshooting too.

updated the post again.

Thanks good sir. haha, well you gotta keep it nice and pretty.

yeah, any time you need help feel free to post in this thread/send a pm. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/37900-my-name-is-dr-phil-and-im-here-to-help-you/

You were knocked unconscious. If someone on steroids knocked the daylights out of you then proceeds to rip off your meat, how long do you think it would take for you to get up? What's bullshit is vaulting then getting hit unconscious. You should be honored that a spammer chose this thread. It's rare!

Yes. I play DayZ through steam(or at least add the shortcut through it) but use sixlauncher to update everything for me. Make a shortcut to launch ARMA2 Beta with Steam Overlay (Optional) http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#ARMA2_Beta_patch

Only sneak when you have really good items that You don't want to lose.
