thanks, i'm gonna check the ingame map

is skalisty island reachable by swimming? or is a boat necessary?

thanks for the info but i didn't really understand the directions :D you say to follow the main road left of the NW airfield, and that road goes north. but then you say that when this road ends, you have to go south... that's a bit confusing! are we talking in map or off map? if in map could you please locate it on this map? ^^ http://dayzdb.com/map#3.030.038

Is there a way to know if a server has map markers before logging onto it? ^^

same situation. it might have something to do with the update to 1.7.2.4 i guess

unlike most of the posters here i do realize the Zs in this game are not undead, but infected living humans, kinda like 28 days later... but still, their sight and hearing is WAY TOO FUCKING GOOD NOW. I've had trouble in the woods, I don't wanna know what they can do in a town...

I'm a student and work 2 jobs to barely pay for tuition, rent, food and the occasional night out with friends. And I love videogames, I'd like to play a lot of them, but usually can't afford them. Thanks to steam sale I bought arma 2, solely to play DayZ, and I love it. So go stick your elitistic bullshit up your arse, or choke on it. I usually am not this rude on message boards, but I can't stand this pro elite gaming bullshit. Go play on a locked server please.

it would be cool if the woods were crawling with wolves, bears and dangerous animals like that, but i'm afraid that arma 2 engine wasn't made for that ^^

When you get really excited whenever you see a car, a motorbike or even a bicycle

So, me and my buddy were on a very low pop and quiet (hence pretty boring) server, and decided to go check the NW airfield out. When we arrived, from behind the far 2 hangars, we noticed a person standing still on the landing zone. We checked with our binoculars, it was a player skin, in a ghillie suit, holding a flashlight, standing perfectly still, and with a massive rifle on his back. We shot him, nothing happened. After clearing some Zs we went to check him out, we could access the gear like if it was a corpse (couldn't pick the ghillie though), the rifle was an AS50, with only 1 mag, he had antibiotics, some grenades, and standard watch, compass, map, matches etc. (no fancy stuff like nvg or rangefinder). Ehm... wtf? hacker? or just someone who died there and bugged out? (yesterday my friend shot this guy who was running from a Z, and he alt+f4 out. My mate stayed there to see if he logged back in, he did, he shot him again and killed, despite no murder count, maybe the zombie got the kill, but the corpse was standing still, maybe because he died when logging out/logging in because of the bleeding or sth...

I heard a lot of people are having issues, but most servers made the switch by now. Whay do you reckon, should I update? or wait for some fixes or something? Is it possible to rollback to 1.7.2.3 easily?

how do you turn the glock/remington flashlight on?

Hmm I experienced artifacts on my .3 today (berezino) and the gun nerf is an Arma thing, not DayZ... dunno about the bandage problem though. I'll still wait a little bit i guess

I actually killed a dude with a crowbar, he had a crossbow. I was looting one of those Bistro building, upstairs. I go back in the corridor, and find this guy crawling on the ground. Start hitting him with that stupid crowbar (I couldn't find a goddamn hatchet!) he shoots me in the stomach with the crossbow, I start bleeding, but he has to reload, I keep hitting him until he dies. Then I bandaged myself and procedeed to get killed by zeds because I was way too low on health and inside cherno (or elektro, I can't remember) and didn't manage to sneak outside town properly. It was fun.

same shit happened in berezino to me

wait, you can actually throw your gun? O_o

i want a bike too :(

way too high, i've seen deer stands popping 3 Zs who walked straight awat from it, than 3 more right away, then 3 more. 9 zeds around a deer stand in the middle of nowhere, in under 2 minutes. dafuq?

In case you still haven't noticed, with the new arma ii oa patch a lot of weapons got nerfed to the ground. The most evident ones are revolvers and m1911, but according to many even shotguns, lee enfields, m107, mp5... Now, even I think it's good for Pvp and if I find cool that more skill to save ammo and kill quickly is required, this is not a good change for dayz because of the way zombies behave. They run ninja fast with erratic dash zig-zag circly paths, making headshots out in the open practically impossible. Hence, this nerf isn't good. Weapons damage should be increased a bit, or zombie behavior changed. (personally I've always been a fan of HUGE hordes of old school walking zombies, but I do realize they are impractical for such a game :/)

the times are incorrect as the launcher calcualtes the time based on the server name timezone... but a lot of admins change the time as they please, so it's fucked up

Still no official positionon this huh? also, I just noticed that a new arma patch has been released... gonna try it out right away

True, true.

Since I'm on an almsot inverted day/night cycle, I decided to go on a little lonewolfing at 5 in the morning. I was close to Stary Sobor, and I've never been there before, so, since I was on a low population server, I decided to go and take a look. I went for the military tents, sneaking. Somehow a military zombie aggroed me while I was inside. Hearing the noise, I've pulled out my M1911 and pointed it at him. As soon as he steps in front of the tent, I fire twice. He RUSHES in (wtf? shouldn't they walk inside?) and attacks me. I fire once again, he hits me again. 4th round and he's finally dead. Now, apart from the ridiculous tenacity of that zombie (4 .45 rounds to the chest? at point blank range? and I'm positive I haven't missed, it was like 1m range, iron sight) with that second hit the zombie broke my leg. A standing zombie, clawing at me, broke my leg. Without even making me bleed (blood dropped from 12k to 11.3k or sth like that). Now I'm stuck there as I don't have morphine on me (ran out after falling off some bugged stairs) and my friends (they are close, we logged out together) won't be online until tomorrow evening. And if they for some reason run out of morphine, they will have to go back south or in berezino, since there are NO FUCKING MORPHINE SPAWNS UP NORTH, pick some, and come patch me up. I can understand running out of morphine in a realistic game is my fault, I should have packed 12 as any real survivor would, but really, having my leg broken by ONE standing zombie hitting me once or twice is ridiculous. yes, I'm complaining, but I'm pissed. any thoughts?

meaning either you ro the server haven't patched to the latest arma ii oa patch i guess.... read here: www.dayzdb.com - new damage 6722, down from 12500 (the 1 shot 1 kill value). now you need 2 (or an headshot ofc). but the audible range has been reduced.

they just halved it's damage. no more 1 shot 1 kill on players. made it a bit quieter though
