I like window mode for games because I can alt tab and go to another window without having the game minimize. I have 2 monitors so I like to keep the forums on the right side and the map while DayZ runs on the left monitor. But it seems the window mode on Dayz is tiny! I tried the -window -x=800 -y=600 and played with the x and y settings but it's always tiny.

I can only carry 2 so which do I keep with me? I suck at making decisions >_> and I don't have long before someone else comes and takes this

So yea, uninstalling, nice playing it for a week but too many hackers and too many bugs. I know alpha blah blah blah but I guess adding useless pets is more important than fixing game breaking bugs. See you guys when they fix all the bullshit.

I've been looking to get a ghillie suit and I read that helicopter crash sites have the best chance. So I spent the last 4 hours on a night server with my nightvision on and GPS running and haven't found crap. I used the map at dayzdb to try and hit up any vehicle spawn points I passed by but didn't find a thing. I used the "heli crash map" you can get from the internet an ran all over looking for them hitting up deer stands on the way. Didn't find a single helicopter. In fact most of the deer stands were empty. Can anyone give me some tips? I feel like I just wasted most of my Sunday night as I have nothing to show for my time except a few extra AK mags.

Found another one in the same field on a different server. This one had already been looted though and there was an AK on the ground. It still had an FN Fal and M14 AIM on it but I liked my guns better. I marked on the map "HELICOPTER CRASH HERE WITH FN FAL AND M14 AIM" but nobody showed up. I wasn't going to kill anyone I was just bored and figured I'd be friendly but I'm sure nobody trusts markers on a map since they scream AMBUSH!

Lighten up Francis. It's a video game. There's no point to band together as zombies are easily dispatched by a lone survivor. Wire fencing, tank traps, sandbags, and bear traps have no effect on Zombies that I've found. They walk right through them. So what would be the point? PS I'd like to see a screenshot of your 11k humanity and 1600 zombie kills. Not calling you a liar just think it's rather impressive that you've been alive helping that long and haven't been betrayed yet.

People are aggressive because the game gets boring. I've played for a week now. One week. And I'm already bored. At first it was a few days of trying to loot the big cities on the coast and escape. That was pretty fun as I died a lot and killed a lot. Then I got the hang of it and headed up north where I mostly died to bugs, hackers, and very unlucky zombie attacks (one hit breaks my legs and the 2nd hit knocks me unconscious... gg) So now I found a crashed chopper, have a wookie suit, have awesome guns, got a jeep on one server loaded with supplies, and guess what? I'm bloody bored! I have nothing to do now except look for more crashed choppers and try to find a coyote backpack and maybe the thermal rifle. So what else shall I do? Go back to the start and kill in the most popular areas. What's my alternative? Help others, get betrayed, and whine about how I lost everything because someone wanted my hard work without earning it? Piss off.

Well I'm not a sniper in any game I play. I get too paranoid and constantly have to turn around to watch my back. I watch videos of people sneaking up on snipers and cringe at how easily they die >_> I just can't do it. The M16A4 Acog was getting on my nerves to be honest. I had to rely on servers with the crosshair in order to kill anything close to me. Right clicking made it impossible to take out something < 50 yards away. I would take out my MK48 and shoot something but it was so loud every zombie for a hundred miles would come running my way. I prefer a stealth approach in this game where I crouch walk in towns and take zombies out with my G17 which is so quiet it never alerts any zombies and it's a 1 shot kill in the head. So the M4 really works out for me since it's so dang quiet. I guess the MK48 will be useful for when I want to PVP but it's really pretty worthless against zombies because of how freaking loud it is. I really need to find a tent and put it out somewhere and put all my junk in it and run into Cherno or Elektro with the MK48 and just go rambo style on people.

There were 6 FN Fal magazines on the body with the FN Fal. 2 were right by a rock next to each other (one with alice backpack, one with starter). The one with the starter backpack had the FN Fal with magazines and the MK48. The 3rd is near the road northwest of the 2 bodies and had the ACOG on it. Good luck sir. I'm logged out and in bed. That adrenaline rush was enough gaming for me.

You guys are killing me!!!!!! It's too late I already ran the hell away from that murder zone. Lucky to still be alive! But if you guys want those guns be my guest, be warned it's a warzone out there.

Alright thanks guys.

I couldn't find a "fullscreen windowed" mode but you can set the resolution as high as you can go in the config screen and still just see the bar at the top. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/69223-how-do-you-change-the-window-mode-resolution/

Go to Cherno or Elektro in the beginning. Both have docks that bug out the zombies. Run through the town like crazy looting what you can with all the zombies following you and head for the dock. They'll all get confused and usually end up in the water but they can't actually run on the dock. Then go back into the area where all the zombies were and loot more with less zombies around. Once you head up north you just need a revolver or m1911 and you can take them out with a single headshot. It's quiet enough to not alert too many other zombies. If you do, just go in a house and they'll slowly walk in allowing you to get more headshots. Sometimes I like to start off on night servers as you can sneak up right next to a zombie and he won't care. Great for silent axe kills you just need to turn your brightness/gamma up to see which is sometimes frowned upon (no different than using nightvision IMO)

If you got killed, why didn't the guy who killed you finish off your friend? Why not have your friend log out and you run up to him with medical supplies and have him log in so you can heal him? This situation sounds really fishy.

Killing zombies does not decrease your humanity Killing bandits do not decrease your humanity Misinformation = Not acceptable because you write "I think" before the statement

I dislike when people answer someone's question with misinformation. If you don't know, don't reply, it's not that hard. Here is good information on Humanity: http://www.reddit.co...n/humanity_psa/

Eh if I die and lose it all I'd be upset but I'm not scared of it. I tend to favor 10-20 player servers (smaller target for hackers) and haven't run into another player in a few days now other than a RL friend I met up with today. I just found a jeep so at least now I can travel a bit quicker but I'm just not sure what to do next. I found a crash site, I got good gear, I found a ghillie suit, all that's left is to go back to Cherno or Elektro and own other players but I want to increase my karma not decrease it. Death seems like it might be the best thing for me so I won't mind risking my neck to help others.

I'm a happy camper

I kept 2 of them for emergency use if I needed any kind of zoom. Is it really that bad to use them in an M16 ACOG? Won't piss off the zombies if I need to take a player out at a distance eh?

Already gave most of them to my buddy. Keeping a few for when I might have to snipe with the other rifle :( Sorry But it's my good luck charm! I'm not sure where to find any bandits and I don't want to lose karma. I kinda want to help players but worried they'll betray me :( My only murder isn't even a murder. I was in a grocery store and saw someone else in there scavenging. I was going to leave him be because he was in there first but he noticed me and fired. I wrote "Friendly!!!!" a few times in chat but he wouldn't reply and when he came around the corner I killed him. Yea sure let me PM you that info

Went to meet with a friend to give him some of the STANAG SD mags for his M4A1 CCOSD and looky what we found :o It's a good day in the world of DayZ!

Let me know when you visit a dozen deer stands and find nothing but empty tin cans at all of them >_> That's gotta be the worst. Well i lie, going to NW airfield, risking your life to snipers and the dozens of zombies that spawn, run through every building and find nothing but chem lights and whiskey bottles :(

it is a coward move. they want to punish you for killing them so they alt f4 immediately after getting killed. their body disappears as well as all of their loot. they spawn on the beach with nothing as usual and their loot just get sacrificed to the server gods. you feel satisfaction from killing them. they feel satisfaction for not letting you have their hard earned loot. in the end i hope they fix it when they release the stand alone.

Once you had north it becomes Zombie Survival. My current character has been alive a couple of days now and I haven't seen another player for the past 12 hours of playtime even on servers with 30+ people on them. I've been up north looking for helicopter crashes and finally found one. Got a nice LMG out of it that 1 shots zombies but it's loud as hell. So just loot what you can in the coastal cities (try to get an axe for silent kills and a pistol for when you need to kill quietly at range) and head north. If you spawn around Cherno or Elektro loot the fire station first as it is the highest risk and will have the best weapons. Then head to the grocery store, maybe the church, and get the heck out of there!!! When I spawned near Cherno this play through I just didn't give a f**k. I got killed by a hacker and lost my GPS, night vision, m14 aim, etc. So I was just running full speed around Cherno running through buildings to lose zombie aggro and picking up what I could. I got to the apartments and there was a sniper waiting and talking on the voice chat in one of the tall buildings watching the hospital. I was able to sneak up on him, kill him, took his gun and his GPS and went on my merry way. Found some corpse nearby with night vision and hauled ass away from that nightmare. Haven't seen another soul since and getting kind of bored. Kind of want to go back to the high population city for deathmatch because zombie survival gets boring. I run around, see noone, kill a few zombies, eat some beans, drink some soda, and continue to search for helicopter crash sights. You're either in deathmatch playing "death simulator" or you're in zombie survival playing "loot simulator". As much as I want to keep positive karma I'm getting kind of bored constantly looking for loot that I'll just end up losing to a hacker if I don't go lose it to another player in Cherno or Elektro... I really need to find a tent to put my valuables in and then maybe I'll join the medic task force or whatever and help people. However I'm sure they will turn on me and then I'll have to add their name to DayZCommander and track them down and murder them repeatedly.

Not sure if this is a bug or intended? If I equip my G17, I can press the - key twice (on the numpad) and zoom out while in 3rd person mode. This lets me see more of the screen which is very helpful in identifying things around me. When I equip the M16A4 Acog it puts me back to the default "zoom" and pressing the - key will temporarily zoom out but I can't get it to stick. If I switch back to the G17 it automatically switches back to my zoom out state. I'm not talking about the right click function of the M16A4 Acog, I understand it's a fixed magnification.
