You will gain blood back but you could become sick if the blood type is not correct. I take blood from my friends when i need it but i get sick because my blood type is not the same. Always have drugs on hand to medicate.

He will need the luck if he heads there as a new player but to each his own. -

unless you doubl tap alt you should be able to use your mouse to turn and look

Yea i have to agree here WASD were the movement controls for the mod and arma. I find the controls to be easy to use. The only thing that really seems to tick people off is the use of "V" as the "JUMP" key which is not really a jump its a "VAULT" which is why its the "V" key lol. If you did not like how the mod played i would probably avoid the standalone.

I will give you the same advice i give alot of new players. Soon as you get into the game head north. Put the ocean at your back and run. The shoreline is a good way to get killed and the loot is quite limited if you are not sure of what you are doing. The small villages in the north tend to be untouched and can give you some decent starting gear. Another good thing to remember is to stay hidden and constantly scan your surroundings. It is a fairly overwhelming game for new players but i have faith in you. Congratulations on getting a new rig and welcome to the DayZ community. -
Yea this can be really frustrating and i am sure they are working to resolve this issue. I expect we will see a fix in one of the next two patches.

DayZ YouTube Survival Series (18+) Looking for Friends
Holylance replied to CarlK3D's topic in New Player Discussion
Hello, Great to see a new and upcoming youtuber for dayz. I myself have thought about starting a channel and using shadowplay by nvidia to record. Just keep in mind it is alhpa and you will prolly catch some bugs and what not on camera. Best of luck to you. -
Hi and welcome. My best opinion i can give to you at the moment is to head north. Alot of the coastal towns get raided at server restart and will be pretty barren. If you had north you will find loot. Best of luck.

The zeds no clipping through walls can be a pain. I am sure we will see it patched soon.

I do not think they are in yet. Not 100% sure but prolly about 95% ;)

Have a short story for you guys. I will make it quick. I was in cherno unarmed and got stopped by some bandits. I was asked to drop all my loot and go prone and I would not be killed. The squad consisted of 5 players. One with an m4, one with a pistol and the others had axes. They handcuffed me and one began to loot me while another attempted to hatchet me in the head. Instead he hit his buddy that was looting me in the head and I proceded to laugh and make fun of them. Also little did they know my two companions had just showed up at the scene armed to the teeth. Unfortunately for them they were too busy staring at the naked chick they had handcuffed on the ground and they all ate led. Moral of the story is when you have a hostage do not let your entire squad stand around her and gawk. Try securing the area first because chances are the hostage you have that was unarmed is bait and you just set the hook.

20 hours of play, never met another player
Holylance replied to Tocaefoge's topic in General Discussion
I really wish people would not cry about KOS. People kill each other over tickle me Elmo dolls on black Friday! What makes you think that in an end of the world situation people would not KOS. Its not that the Dayz community that is bad, its that people are trying to survive, and yes that also means killing an unarmed player. Chances are if that unarmed player gets a melee weapon he will prolly come back and bash your skull in with it. -
Did you try heading north? The way loot works now gives the effect that its not spawning but thats because people are clearing it out at the major spawn points. Normally if you head about 5 min north you will discover that some of the villages off the main roads will have a good amount of loot.

So...Is the community usually this terrible?
Holylance replied to xXxHaVeN117's topic in New Player Discussion
Currently i have not killed anyone unjustly but i have held people up, handcuffed them, and took blood. I did have to shoot one cause i handcuffed him and did not have the keys. He could not figure out how to wiggle out of them so i had to put him down :( -
I visited the ship and the only bug/issue i had was that i could not use all of the ladders. I will tell you that it is deff one of my favorite interiors in the game.

I did find a small handheld radio that i was able to pick up in the NW airfield firehouse. It did not seem to do anything but it also was badly damaged. If i do recall in rocklets last stream he mentioned somthing about removing them cause they were not working properly but im not 100%. Weparo is correct i just wanted to share my little story about the small radio i found.

How easy is it finding your friends in SA?
Holylance replied to rooniedoo's topic in General Discussion
As long as you know the map not hard. I played so much that i know it by heart and i can tell where i am just by looking at the lay of the land and using the sun and moon to navigate if i dont have a compass. -
The hacking in this game is a massive problem. It is on a scale that I have never seen before. To me this should be priority when versions are released not fixing helecoptors, or gun mechanics. Please put a focus on this devs and get it under control. I don't know what you have to do but if you don't do something I think your community will start to dwindle in numbers. I play with a group of 9 people and we play almost every day and almost every day we have some type of run in with a hacker. It's just not fun to get gear, get vehicles, and then get killed by a hacker. I am begging you devs to fix this. This game is amazing and I would like to see it succeed.

US 567 admin decided to put the server into deathmatch mode when we came accross thier camp. We watched them for two hours walking around the camp and we identified at least one admin there. As soon as we engaged they put the server into some kind of deathmatch mode and killed everyone on the server. As a community we have got to help rocket get this stuff under controll.
