What are some classic mistakes you see lots of people doing in DayZ? One of the highest on my list, would be exposing your position by eating/drinking in high traffic areas where many people go looking for trouble, like military bases. I lost count of how many times i will get near one of the buildings at NWAF, and I can hear some dude slamming down drinks.

They are definetly there. My last session i found a LongHorn in a school (that's just wrong) Forgot which town, several SKS in an appartment buildings in Sveltojarsk, and a Blaze 95 & CR527 in those small warehouses, with the catwalk backroom. Haven't went to NWAF, as it's getting boring. I went to SWAF for a change, and didn't find a single gun or ammo there.

I get that from time to time now. It's the server either restarting or crashing. If you notice in your server browser, the server you just lost connection to will be empty. But yeah, it does tend to happen more after the patch. I like that you can "wring" your clothes out, but i have only ever been able to do it one time. I haven't seen the option since then.

Zombie vision and AI is still very inconsistent. I'm not sure if it was tweaked at all. Sometimes they seem blind as a bat, and other times they literally spot you from 500 meters away through bushes and trees, and start running at you. Tonight, i was scouting the area from on top of the big factory in Chernogorsk and for some reason i kept attracting zombies on the ground, from way up there. I was not shooting. Overall i think it's a great patch. I like the new temperature system a lot, it just seems inconsistent as well. It has added a much needed depth to the game tho.

I rarely have vests or ammo pouches. I am tired of making runs to the military bases just to get weapons weapons. It's just boring.

If you crawl you can creep up on someone that has tunnel vision. Done it before. I'm not aware of how much sound it makes when you crawl, since the footstep sound in this game is hard to hear to begin with. Like if you are inside a building and someone comes running in. I can't hear it at least.

if i have a pistol holster, i will. If i don't, i wont. Unless i have a Mosin, then i will obviously carry a pistol as well. I've stopped carrying 2 rifles tho. Like, if you have found 2, but have no ammo for either. I find that the one in your hand that you drop when you have to scale ladders or eat, tend to despawn a lot. I had a shotgun at one point, then found a crossbow. I had to get down a ladder, so i threw the shotgun down on the ground. It despawned on me.

They do spot you from very far away. Last night night i was hunting some bandits in Berezino, standing behind some rocks at the beach next to the cranes at the harbour. Zombies were spawning literally half a km behind me, and would instantly start running at me, giving away my position

I found a silencer but was unable to put it on any gun i found. Tried putting it on the Makarov, the 1911 and i think the FNX.

I never liked the third person view. It's far too easy to abuse to look around corners. The idea that you can look around corners, but your character aren't exposing himself is not good.

Yeah people sniping from rooftops always make me facepalm. It's good in theory, the thing is you stick out like a sore thumb up there with the sky behind you. Also, about ladders, i spend like a day chilling out at green mountain, getting easy kills and equipment from shooting people in the ass while they climb up there. Hilarious.

It's not the sound bug where you hear the sound of a fizzy drink being opended, a fence being opended, or ammo being split up in your inventory. That's a bug. It's the actual sound of drinking. It's not only the drink, it's also being stuck in that animation where you are defenseless. Last night i was at NWAF again, I was unarmed and was watching the back of the firestation from the treeline out back. A guy in full military gear shows up and starts bleeding from being hit by a zombie. He sits down to bandage in the middle of a high traffic area, and 2 other players came around the corner. One of them introduced his shotgun to his face.

This would not be the first time a game gets delayed, or the developers underestimate the time needed to finish a project. Happens all the time.

I never understood exactly why the Arma engines run poorly quite often, even on great PC's. Especially in towns and inside buildings, i have yet to find out what it is. One minute i have what looks like 50-60 fps, and then next it gets reduced to 5-10, just looking in a certain direction, and not necessarily at a huge drawdistance/large town etc. I even tried high fps cfg's, with all settings on the lowest. Helps a little, but not as much as you would want. I mean even Arma 2 doesn't run great. Modern PC's should absolutely kill that game, but they don't. I tried playing DayZ Overpoch. My god, being in any sort of town reduces my game to a slideshow. Anyone got any tips and tricks to getting this game to run better while inside towns? I tried messing with configs and settings. Maybe someone knows something i dont? My specs aren't great, but this was a high end rig in 2010. Should be OK to run this game, and i am for the most part. But getting into firefights in towns is just not viable for me, comming from games like CS 1.6 where you roll with 100 fps at all times. My specs: i7 950 @ 3.0 ghz EVGA GTX 580 SC 1,5 GB 12 GB RAM Would running the game from my SSD i have for windows help anything? I know it just makes things load faster, and doesnt really affect performance, but maybe it could help with something other than loadtimes.

I've broken my legs for no reason several times. Few days ago i was at the NEAF, in one of the 2 story buildings with a jail. I was on the second floor, and saw a pistol on one of the beds where you have to go in between the bunks to get it. Broke my leg. I also broke my leg walking up stairs at one of the northern construction sites in Novodmistrovsk. I think my DayZ characters are 90 years old. I now carry a splint with me at all times, even if it takes up inventory.

I never shoot them unless one got a jump on me. I just strafe and whack them with the axe. Easy.

I have found mosins several times, but i have never found any ammo for it, or scope. Only the compensator. I still pick it up just because its a Mosin, even if i have another rifle already and need to carry it in my hands. I wan't more guns in this game for the sake of variety. Importing guns from Arma 3 can't be that difficult.

Are they ever gonna make it so you can actually hear other players running? Can't stand that you cant hear players running inside buildings you are in.

For some reason i always get the idea that i should head to one of the airfields on high populated servers, which in most cases end up with me running for an hour to get there, only to instantly get picked off by someone in the treeline with a Mosin.

I need some help. I am on the beach to the east of Electro, and my health is soon gonna start dropping to starvation, and i only have 3900 bloodpoints left. I have meat and matches, but have been unable to find an axe. Could anyone possibly meet up with me, and allow me to lend their axe to make a campfire?

Im not actually in the game right now, and really, getting stuff in this game is easy. Just run to the supermarket in Electro, and thats usually got plenty of guns, backpacks and food. Im just too far away to make it.

Search for Soeborg.

Okay, so i was looting a supermarket, and i come under sniper fire, but manage to get away. My screen is pulsing like mad, so i went on the dayzwiki page about status effects http://dayzwiki.com/...=Status_Effects and it tells me that my character is in shock from being shot at, and the effect will last for 5 minutes. Well now it's been around half an hour, and it wont go away. Am i experiencing a bug, or am i missing something here?

Yeah i left the coast and im sticking to the smaller towns north of Electro, to hopefully avoid players and find an axe. I had to throw mine away to equip a shotgun and defend myself.
