He did say utes was a work in progress...

Did the soviets like football?

lol, CZ isn't the rarest gun in the game, one of the most common snipers in my opinion. No I wouldn't kill you unless you shot at me. Now if you had an AS 50, (One of the rarest, if not the rarest guns in the game.) i'd tell you to drop it because i don't trust anyone with an as50. I have my own little timer mechanism, so i'd break your legs, and place morphine a few meters away, along with your weapons, and i could run away without fear of being shot.

I took the time to look around on dayz commander. You guys are right. They are all 24/7 daylight servers, have 1000+ vehicles, or spawn you with ak-74's. The official hive servers, almost 0 players on most. I tried out DayZ+, I think it's brilliant. So far dayz+ is the only place i've been able to find true dayz servers on. (one...)

Perhaps you can craft bloodbag and meat together to get a more effective method of distraction?

So pretend you washed up on the beach.

They're trying to mod it to a twisted perverted version of arma.

I don't know. But I sure do know that Vanilla arma Is fun if DayZ isn't :)

Please don't pin everything on teens tweens, and young people in general. Sadly it's true though. Most of us (Including me at times) are morons.

Just curious what is the rock bottom budget for 40 frames in a full server in elektro with bombs going off in the pub drinking beer while a giant unicorn blazes lazers overhead?

I suppose I do kind of find 1k servers a bit easy...I find them right after the apocalypse servers, and normal dayz like, 20 years after or something. (28 years later?:)) I like inventing my own story. One of them was that I was a survivor on a cleared out utes, but our group wanted to check the condition of the mainland. The ship sunk/helicopter went down, and i woke up on the coast. My story then would begin.

I like 1000 vehicle servers because zombies wouldn't eat all the vehicles along with humans :) Although i'd like to spawn with nothing and loot should still be rare. However, and I know this was probably suggested before, there should be keys on zombies or in houses that go to random cars with condition that may be questionable. Think about it, all the cars would be so close within reach, yet so far because those keys could go to any car :)

Don't play. Try out regular arma maybe. If you read up on the bugs, you would have known that they were sometimes game breakers. However unlike the people reporting the bugs, you don't make humor of it. DayZ has character, a lot of it coming from bugs. Try some different maps if half the fun is exploring.

zelenegorsk, berizino, and i've found morphine in a firestation. Though a player may have dropped it.

Dayz IS random, and brutal and unforgiving. Snuck into a place and got killed because you killed one zombie? (And there was no loot) The game doesn't care. I find it much more immersive if I imagine it as a real life situation, maybe even subtly roleplay. Dayz in my opinion is not about skill, but rather strategy. Randomness does play a role, but unlike roll the dice games, the way you react to the event may decide life or death.

Play on 10 player servers to learn the ropes. Play normal arma once in a while to iron your combat skills. Beware, AI have better aim and tactics than most dayz players, but their aim tends to fall short at short ranges. You can edit the aiming skills of ai in the options.

Heck yes! running simulator won't be boring anymore! Just give a hotkey to turn it off in combat situations.

That may change now, since zombies spawn while in vehicles as of 1.7.5.

Try dropping the meat from your gear and picking it back up

Try right click? abort and then come back?

Are you playing on 60 player servers?

I ask because I was playing taviana. I made a three man team, me and another guy found a wound gillie suit person at kopech. We told him we'd go to byelov and get morphine and blood bags. However, on the way there, we encountered resistance in the form of a lee enfield. Me and him tried to kill him (He shot at me first) However we only had g17s. So I died, and respawned. I was by byelov, so I figured i'd pick up some medical supplies from the hospital. Got the supplies, ran out after I heard a car which I suspected was a team which had killed me earlier. Got out of there, after taking many zombie hits i run back to kopech only to be greeted with the dead body of my gillie friend. There were also no nameplates so not knowing what had happened to my other friend and also the fact that I had ran so far to get to the guy, without having any way of meeting up again with either of them... Was the most gut-wrenching feeling I have gotten from gaming. That was probably much longer than it needed to be, but i think immersion would be greatly improved with this removed.

I say decrease fire rate, or replace it with one that isn't anti-material. OR, they should add wind and humidity levels that affect ballistics so that it's not just zero and then fire away. Maybe replace with a bolt action rifle just as powerful?

Should take up your secondary slot and take longer to switch between primary and secondary, shield on back, gun in hand, vice-versa... also some shields such as riot shields should be almost as rare as nvgs, or only spawn at crash sites and barracks.

Yes but the reason I think it should be removed is because it adds to the atmosphere, confusion, and the feeling of isolation. That's what I like about no sidechat. With text included, I could have met up with my friends, ask them if they died or survived, and i suspect we could have saved our gillie friend if we had came back for him (We heard lots of aks and g17 shots in his direction) and he could have told us to save him. even text would eliminate the uncertainty and isolation that dayz is supposed to center around.
