Hey guys, I've attempted to get into the SA. So far I haven't seen a weapon. Over 3 hours of game time and 5 servers or so, the closest I've gotten is a fire extinguisher. You need a weapon though because the zombies can't be shaked any more and they run full speed indoors so at some point you run out of stamina and get eaten. Fists are fine since they can knock out zombies, but after being hit just 1-3 times you start to bleed and it doesn't stop till you're treated or have bled out. The hospitals don't have medical gear, the fire stations don't have military gear and the supermarket only has food. Even if I got a gun once I would run out of ammo in no time, I haven't seen any ammo in the game yet. In short there isn't really much to do in the game right now besides running from house to house looking through another couple of hats or similar useless gear. Why have such radical and horribly bad changes been made from the mod to the standalone? The loot tables are royally screwed. At the same time the zombies have become faster. There are fewer zombies, but it doesn't matter when it tackles you from behind because you run out of stamina and then make you bleed out before you can get treated.

I never left the coast no, because I never got that far. Leaving the coast is usually a bad idea before you have any gear at all. The most useful I've seen is a can of beans and a water bottle. And also some water purification pills. I love having a hard time in survival games, but that's not what this is. I might as well have been a cow on a field, they have as big a chance of obtaining gear. I've been crouching to get close to buildings so I could loot them, and I still got aggro all the way across a huge field where it was hard to even see the zombie yet.

Hello guys, It's a while since I've been here. I was excited about the DayZ Standalone and felt like I got let down when it finally come out. Then I forced myself to give it a chance last year, but.. I had only played around 10 minutes till I entered a garage with zombies running after me(grey building, single car size). Instead of following me in there they stood at the entrance, and killed me by hitting air at the doorway. I got knocked down in one of the first punches and then they killed me even though none of them were anywhere near me. That's where I understandably 'rage'quit. Have issues like that been addressed now? Is the mod still recommended?

Difference there is that I've played the mod months before I made this account on the forums. Early 2012 and I have over 1k hours in it. I know how to play the game, very well too. I've been there through all kinds of odd glitches and exaggerated gameplay(stumbling over a branch breaking your leg leaving you bleeding or textures being distorted all over the place at Balota airstrip and other places anyone?), but when you're prevented from looting the simplest of things because zombies hit you from an open entrance throughout an entire building it becomes impossible to play. Hence my question. I've read about this before, but I'm not sure what you mean with syncing. It's not like there was any problem with the connection at all. I wrote about it when it happened, which is why I know it was in September(posting history). I was looking at them looting some melee weapon as I recall it. It was an industrial low yield spot near Tulga(126,109). It isn't just any bug though, it is a gamebreaker that would require me to either have already geared up and be lucky enough not to pass out immediately(like I did) or have someone else with me. I came in skeptical because there were so many issues the first times I tried playing it(release date and a month later). I remember being happy they had been fixed, and then I died to that BS. I would be less concerned with all rifles exploding in your face if you try to use them than a bug like this. You can decide not to use rifles, but you can't always decide not to be chased by zombies.

In my case it was a garage. The kind that can't close. It was open, but they didn't run inside, they were just standing at the open entrance and hit the air and somehow that killed me.

That's exactly what we are talking about.

If it is the way you say it is, it is a game breaker. This should be fixed right now. This is more important than map design, balancing tools and weapons and whatever else I can think of. Running around unarmed trying to loot is not fun when the zombies that chase me just stop at the doors to buildings and kill me from there no matter where I go from that point.

Hey guys, Is it common that zombies just stand at the entrance to the building you are in, hitting the doorway and causing you to take damage throughout the building without them being anywhere near you? I could stand in the center of the building and look at them standing outside in the doorway, hitting it, causing me to take damage. I just came back after 6 months to see how much the game has improved and literally in the first minute of playing this happened. I'd have thought these were the kind of bugs that would be addressed first. If this was a quick fix to lacking pathing in certain buildings I would rather have them being unable to reach you because this is just too bugged.

Hey guys, I thought of some ideas that could result in better gameplay. 1. I would wish that your graphics settings didn't dictate how much grass and foilage is rendered.. It encourages the players who strive to outperform other players to tune down graphics, not a cool tendency. Rather than reducing the amount, it should change the quality. 2. Fields/steppes with tall grass. Grass in which a standing player only has his head and shoulders visible. Movement in this grass should of course be registered. It would be perfect for taking cover or setting up an ambush. 3. Ghillie suits that you can customize to the terrain. Many real life ghillie suits can have natural vegetation added. If this was added it would mean that those autumn colored bushes every DayZ sniper voes to snipe crouching from doesn't have to be so bad any more. It would have to be something like pointing at the foilage you want to add to the ghillie, click, and wait. It shouldn't be too quick to change it, the advantage of utilizing it is great, so you need some kind of penalty as well, maybe 30 secs to a minute. Tell me what you think.

I am opposed to that idea. Urban camo clothing would be better from a gameplay aspect. A mask with urban camo clothing would be cool. A ghillie suit is not supposed to be an all-round solution, but let you blend into the landscape. It would be overpowered and unnecessary when proper selected urban colors are effective.

Isn't that being a bit captain obvious? A weapon is also a tool, so is a compass, map and so on. That doesn't mean the features they hold can't be discussed and altered or improved.

£1000($1550 AU) is not a budget computer when you're only looking for the parts he is. It is high end. Not the fastest, but definitely high end. And the comparison between a ferrari and prius.. I couldn't have put it better myself. As I've said many times already, saving when it comes to a graphics card is not smart. If you think it is 10-20% you need to improve on calculus, try actually calculating the amounts. The amounts are actually closer to 40% average. Unless you play at very low resolutions and DirectX 9. I wonder why that is... Maybe because it is outdated hardware? There are also those few cases where you get some extra FPS from more than 110 to even more than 110. Kinda irrelevant since the monitor can't show that. Remember that the ones I'm looking at are 1920x1080 or above and preferably DirectX11.

And you seem pretty defensive about Radeon. Every graphics card can render, some better than others, and the 7850 does it better than the nvidia cards. I was comparing those 2 cards, not professionally used cards. And no, it is minimum 25% more fps and sometimes 40-50% more. I told you exactly what Radeon is and the experiences I've had with them through many systems. Their drivers at the moment are so bad at the moment that I'd choose Nvidia over Radeon even if they performed the same.. and they don't, not nearly. On top of that I gave you a test. Here's an another one: =on∏[5876]=on"]test This is a lot more in depth. 670 trumps 7850 everywhere it matters by a wide margin. Why did you even comment? You have no place giving anybody advice when you ask them to save on their GPU for a gaming computer.

Fair enough :) I don't approve of AMD Radeon. I have had 3 of their cards, and heat and noise have always been a problem. If not that, then driver problems. AMD drivers are bad :S I was literally told by AMD support when I asked them what to do about the performance in Shogun 2 Total War "If you have problems with performance of 'older' games then downgrade the driver. We can't support all games in one driver." Bullshit, of course they can. I then responded that I was playing Metro 2033 and that I couldn't downgrade because performance would take a hard hit there. They gave a kinda "Too bad" response. A billion dollar corporation with that attitude is just not ok. EDIT: If you have all that cash left.. Return the graphics card and get a GTX670 instead. It is close to twice as good as and close to twice as expensive as well. Saving on your graphics card in a gaming computer is not smart. Radeon HD 7850 vs GTX670 The reason I am editing this now is because I realized how low tier the HD 7850 is. Also, Radeon seems more suited for rendering than gaming.

You're cheating yourself out of A LOT of choppers. The majority is around Stary Sobor. Going to newly restarted servers and checking that area is the most effective. You are right about Gorka, but it is so far off the map that it isn't worth it in my opinion. Also, if you want camps, check all the way up North. People often put their choppers there. Especially north of Berezino and a way up North of Devil's Castle.

If you want a good route for looking for choppers, here it is. Do this at night, it is much easier to find choppers at night because of the fires. Remember to do a spin sometimes to check. Start East-Southeast of Novy Sobor [074 | 075]. Go straight North in a bow counterclockwise around Novy Sobor Look around and continue South around, close to, Stary Sobor. Get the high ground west of Stary Sobor and continue west. Seek the high ground, aim to pass through around [050 | 077]. Keep going till you are around [040 | 077]. Head North to Dichina [044 | 072] and get a look around in all directions. Head straight North till you are at [045 | 061]. Get a quick view of the airfield from the end as there are often helicopters. Go to the field West, then Northwest of Grishino. You're done, and near the barracks if you didn't find anything. You can look a little at the map Dongtacular made while you're at it, but you'll get a hang of where they are very quickly. If you're determined it is not hard to find 10 choppers in one evening on foot. Just remember to keep your eyes open, he hasn't found them all, neither have I. Another tip. Do yourself a favor and 'clear out' trash loot from the spawns and wait for it to respawn for better loot. Choppers don't respawn(duh). Here's how it works: http://mydayz.de/en/...wn-how-it-works By the way. You'll want to stay hidden in the illustrated green zone while waiting for the countdown. 50m away and you're usually certain that every loot spawn point has a chance to respawn(not all will) Yet another tip. When you are gearing up, if you want it easy, go to Cherno and move from high yield to high yield industrial building(check the map). There are 6. They have everything you need, except a hatchet and a military weapon. They're also the best place in the game to get a ghillie suit if you clear trash, move to the next one, clear trash... etc, in a circle.

What happens when you bring eager DayZ players with you to everest.

I guess the picture shows what were talking about, but it's definitely not among the best out there :) Maybe you took it because the net is visible? Here is what it looks like if you apply vegetation properly.

Funny :) I've never seen it, but thanks for telling.

I hope you didn't buy your computer already. You will probably be able to find some of these parts cheaper on your own, but Amazon is the only large scale online shop I know of in the UK. Here goes. CPU: Intel I7-3770 £227 Link GPU: GTX 670 £300 Link Reasoning behind NOT getting a 660, but a 670, is that the 670 is very superior to 660 without a steep increment in price. GTX 670 vs 660 GTX 670 vs GTX 660TI and look at how close these are GTX 670 vs GTX 680 RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB(2x4GB) £55 Link PSU: XFX PRO750W £74 Link EDIT: The 750W edition is cheaper for some reason, which is good, but if you decide on another brand you only need 650W. The performance of a PSU deteriorates over time, that was what Zeppa was referring to when asking how old your PSU is. If you buy a certified(!) PSU that is 20% stronger than what your computer needs, you won't have to worry about deterioration. You can check how much your system needs in the link below. Assuming you put in all the fields correctly.(I've already done it for the system I suggested) Link MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H £123 Link HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB £73 Link SSD: Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5 inch SATA Solid State Drive £140 Link You will love yourself and your time in front of the computer if you buy the SSD I suggested above. It changes the computer into something else.. Everything you normally hate about a computer in terms of loading times just vanish. I have had the 500GB version for over a year now and I honestly can't live without it. Case? Up to you which model. I recommend Antec, Cooler Master and Fractal Design, but Silverstone and Corsair are becoming serious contenders too. Check Tomshardware and Bit-tech to search for reviews. A way to save some cash so you can keep it at £1000 could be to strike the HDD. You probably have one from your old computer you can format anyway. I gave you the model of one if you should need space in the future. Good luck. EDIT: I've been editing a lot because the links insisted on splitting into one part text, one part link.

You were suggesting cases. Just not in the quoted text. I can really recommend Fractal Design. Just be sure that there's room enough for the hardware you stuff in it. Mine had room enough for the ATX board and NOTHING below the board. This meant that I couldn't use my crossfire solution + PCI-E SSD without remodeling the case. I was counting on being able to place a 2 slot graphics card at the bottom.

The thing is.. Almost no matter where you place it, people will be in danger by coming remotely close to that ship regardless. It will be like Christmas come early(assuming it is released before christmas) for snipers to have a small entrance like that to shoot slow moving targets.

Hello guys, Why are people so hostile towards vanilla servers? I look through the server list and I see bullshit like 1 million vehicles, 1000 choppers, start with AS50, no bandits, day only. Some of this is of course exaggerated, but I literally only found 1 single vanilla server with players on and that server did not have the settings I wanted(nameplates.. etc). What is your opinion?

Any solution? I might wanna try it as well.

Hello, I am having troubles with my game. It crashes after I've played a while. I have just started playing again today after having had a break since February. This is the first time I have had problems with crashing. I am using DayZ Commander. My computer is running on Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. It has an Nvidia GTX 690 card. I've already tried verifying the game cache with Steam. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
