I was up north alot early on when playing DayZ, but I've been sticking to the coast more. Mostly just so I get more action. Did the survival thing, trying to find good loot, last as long as I can, it gets abit tedious and dull, so I've mostly just been attacking Cherno or Electro. Get some excitement that way.

I hate that stupid running dive to prone, it's so awful lol

Way to be a douche lol

I've seen one hacker since playing DayZ. Sure, I'm not playing on the really full servers most of the time, but if your mad about hackers, you should do the same.

Unless you want Arma 2, don't buy Arma 2 right now for DayZ. It's not seeing many improvements right now and best to just wait for the standalone since it's on the horizon and your gonna have to buy that anyways.

I don't care if a servers is regular or not. If the FPS aspect was better in this game, I'd stick with it, but right now, it's not right. A good majority of things are just poorly designed in this game really...No jumping over things, you have to click to climb things and open doors, I mean, how is that tactical or realistic? It serves no purpose, but I'm getting off topic here lol If you want an active server, you just need to keep yourself broader, unless you have a group/community all set to join in with those settings in mind.

LOL...3rd is exploiting...That's good stuff. I tend to go with 3rd person most of the time. Knowing you can remove headbob is very nice though, cause it never felt right in the game. All the movement feels too extreme for what it would be. 3rd person makes long distance runs more comfortable and it helps when your trying to watch for zombies. I don't mind when it's forced, but I've only ever come across one server in the past few weeks that ever did that. If I can remove headbob, I wouldn't mind if I'm forced, but to me, the game plays better as a 3rd person, than it does first person, even if FPS is more realistic.

Because not everyone knows the inherent evils of bridges in DayZ...cause you know...a bridge should work like a bridge...not like it's possessed by the devil lol

Of course you'll have to buy DayZ Standalone when it releases. Lucky for you, it'll be cheaper if you buy it right away, like the Minecraft setup (At least I believe that is the path being taken).

Yeah if that's your video, get rid of the 20 second intro, you can drop that down to 5 seconds easily, but I do agree, that a bandit should be entertaining if they are gonna kill you.

Once me and a friend came across a stash pile of vehicles just outside of the Dam. They got the truck off, picked me up, we went back. They had the bus, I had the ATV. I come to the Dam, they say to go slow, cause the bridges are messed up, I go on at a very low speed, I bounce around, tip over. I tell my friend to maybe just tap the ATV, flip it over with the bus, they do so, the ATV is launched into the stratosphere, it is gone completely. I've never seen such a crazy reaction like this to a vehicle and bridges lol

Welp, since BattleEye has eaten it tonight, I guess no Day Z sniping spree is gonna happen like I planned lol

I generally do my best to avoid zombies. If I've just respawned, I run. I've started to find that I can begin to lose zombies, so I just run to places with good loot, hopefully losing the zombies on the way. Once I get a good collection of loot, some nice guns, that's when my trips are more careful. I generall slow move around or prone if I see zombies. I do my best then to draw as little attention to my self as possible.

I tried to browse Green Mountain (Daylight, I know...). That zombie horde that spawns is such a pain in the ass. Accidentally died trying to get to the tower, cause I crawled around the entire fence, just to run face first into a squad of zombies as they were going around both sides of the fence :\ Only go to the tower if you got a big group lol

Because the game is unrealistically freaking dark at nights. The light works but is abit obnoxious to use, and your nothing but fodder for those that have NVG. Yeah there's the benefit of zombies not seeing you as much, but when you can do the exact same thing during the day and actually see where your going, why ever play at night? I might play more at night if there was some realistic lighting at night, but right now, it's like running around with a bag over your head.

Just went through and read this entire thread and it was fantastic. Such great and creepy stories. Don't know what is real and what is not and I think it only makes the game better. All I know is, if half of these things ever happened to me, pants would be soiled lol

Raiding big places. Usually very intense.

Steam updating didn't bother my game at all. I could tell some were hurting though with how many were getting bad file errors trying to log into the server.

It's not on EVERY server in the US, but I did just come across it for my first time after playing it a few days. This is being looked at, right? I will say these are inventive hacks, I mean, usually you just see some aimbotting or wall hacks, but getting teleported to the middle of an open field and shot to death? Never saw that one coming...and hope to never see it again. I like being able to keep my hard earned loot.

Never heard of Undead Labs Class 3, but I'll give it a look. More zombie survival is never a bad thing :D I do like that it is on the CryEngine also.

I try my best to avoid folks generally. I don't hunt people, but if they get near me and aren't saying anything, I'm gonna gun you down. I actually helped someone today. He was obviously a noob, running around, I only had a hatchet cause I respawned, but I took down the zombies, healed him up (Didn't know you get check pulse and stuff), got him on his feet, and then he sorta followed me around. Sorta regretted it, knowing he was gonna get me killed, but he ran off somewhere else and I continued on lol I try to be the good guy, when I can, but until there's a better system for saying friendly and stuff like that, I'm more inclined shoot first. Restarting can be very annoying at times.
