Namalsk Night Time

[person915 345]

Just a simple question or two:

How cold is it in Namalsk at night compared to the day? Because right now, I'm dying. My temp is flashing, I can't find heatpacks, and my blood is going down (the zombies I couldn't see by the deerstand didn't help at all). Of course I logged off for the night; no sense in dying like that.

Will I still be freezing when it's light out? When I respawned with my current character, it was dark already in-game, and I was instantly shaking from the cold. Is that going to be the case when I log back in during the day?

This thread is in New Player Discussion because I am very new to Namalsk if you could not tell.

In Namalsk, your priority shouldn't be weapons.

Your priority shouldn't be food.

Your priority SHOULD be Warm Clothes. They keep you warm, and blend you into the environment in tall grass quite nicely.

Edit; In other words, you will freeze your balls of if you haven't already.

Correct, and I've been to 3 locations, an airbase, a small encampment, and a few houses and I've found ABSOLUTELY no heatpacks or cans of food, nor seen any animals but a rabbit in which I still need matches to complete my survival gear anyway. Of course I started coughing too. The funny thing is I've found an M16M203, an M4A1 Holo M203, and an M4A3 CCO SD, but have not found any food nor heatpacks, even searching every single zombie I've killed. Either I'm getting bad luck or I'm doing something wrong. I can't help where I spawned because I wanted to go to a residential village, but with no clue where I am, the likelihood of running through the woods and finding something and NOT dying, or just going down the road and finding something are pretty slim.

So basically you're saying I'm doomed to freeze to death at this point? And about the warm clothes, you mean like I can find a coat item in Namalsk? Or do you mean Ghilles are warmer? Because I've still found neither.

Well if you start coughing, your blood level will lower to about half. (6000)

I don't know if a flashing temperature icon means you're slowly losing health as it never happened to me back when we did have the debug screen, and now you just can't tell. Then again, every other flashing icon besides the new G17 combat-indicator means that you're slowly dying.

You should look up a server by Fx6. It's a public server with a private hive that's running Namalsk. I've found -some- food there, more than enough antibiotics for one, and plenty of weapons. I personally recommend it, and it's my "home" for now.

loosing blood means you cought an infection.

coughing is just you having a cold.

but people around you can hear it, so no more sneaking about.

also, the jittering will nullify aiming over mid-long distance,

so yes, finding stuff to keep you warm is #1 priority on namalsk.

finding warm clothes is one part, it will hold the current temperature.

but if you already are jittering, you will also need to find heatpacks to

raise your temperature back up.

i find plenty, just hang in there.

check helicopter crashsites, they are scattered around

the map and not as dangerous as army them bases.

dayzdb.com if you want it easymode.

and make sure to play with friends.

namalsk solo is either suicide or boring as hell.

Oh no, it was plenty interesting. Here was my day:

After posting my reply to this thread about not finding anything, I find a heatpack atop a tower, and I find camo clothing. My temperature had gone completely clear at this point, and after finding 2 more heatpacks while wearing the camo clothing, it did nothing to bring it back up. Seeing there were other people on the server, I found some M203 flares and shot them off, a desperate attempt in finding help. I had a survival knife, hatchet, and wood, but couldn't find matches anywhere. Travelling, I found multiple settlements, all filled with useless car parts. Finding a crashed AC130, I found numerous useless weapons that only filled up my inventory with stanag mags. So eventually, I see a factory. I think "Good, maybe I can actually find something!" I found just about a chicken, killed it and took its meat, with still no way to cook it. Seeing all the flammable barrels around wrapped up in their packages completely pissed me off because I couldn't use them. Atleast change the texture! So after this while I'm in the factory, a zombie decides to see me meanwhile all his friends don't even care, and stay where they are. He comes over to me, stands up (he was a monkey zombie), and I reel backwards. I'm guessing his fingertips hit me, because I went down and got knocked out, starting to bleed. What's weird about this is that my blood appeared to be regenerating before this, because when I logged in to then it had gone from dark orange to a rotten lemon yellow, and I wasn't coughing. So anyway, ArmA being ArmA, I wake up, only to find the other zombies had decided to join in hearing my screams, and that my blood was flashing red. I had my G17 out previously, and that ArmA mechanic when you have no ammo in your weapon it switches to the other kicked in. Only, I DID have ammo in my G17! I had one mag loaded! And if you have ever woken up, you know it takes forever because your character wants to do this weird animation that takes up time and keeps failing and repeating, which I believe is trying to take your weapon out. So by the time I got up and was ready to use my G17 to blow this infidel to pieces, it switches to my M4A1, which apparantly didn't have ammo in it either! Wonderful. I loaded a mag in and fell over, dead. Now I wouldn't really care that I died, but I had worked so hard and done so many things just to be killed by some shit little bug and glitch that shouldn't even be in there, and I was ready to tough it out until the end, and I wanted to! I actually might have lived! Goddamn rocket, so help me by beta you better have these things fixed or you will have a mob at your door that are damn well smarter than the zombies you programmed.

Edit: Bleh, I was angry. I had fun that life though. Still, it would have been alot better dying from natural causes...

Go North to the city (name escapes me) get matches from buildings etc, or I find they spawn in the shop at the old hospital too, get an axe too. Chop down trees etc and stay warm that way. Easier said then done, but it's what I always do when I fresh spawn into Namalsk.

Thanks. Atleast now I know there is a town that I can find something at. I dunno which way is north, but for now I'm following the railroad because I haven't gone that way yet!

[person915 345]

Ok, so... interesting life this time. I wander around for a bit, eventually finding suitable weapons. I end up having tons of heatpacks, and I wasn't dying from cold like last time.

Then I found a vehicle.

At the time, just a tail, I saw the backend. I go around the corner, my hope now reality. All that was needed was a car wheel, one stashed in the back. But... it wouldn't go on. Frusterated, I circle the vehicle for about 10 minutes, then start collecting vehicle parts so that whatever I needed I could repair. Besides, I wasn't going anywhere without that pickup!

Among my scavenging, a thought occurs to me. "I need a toolbox." After playing Chernarus for so long, this concept was foreign to me. I need a toolbox.

After scrounging around, I find one, atop a scaffolding.

"I'm getting out of here," I think.

I run back to the vehicle, grab a freshly spawned tire off of the floor, pop it on, and roll out. It felt wonderful. In a land of frost I now had a hot, purring, mechanical steel carriage that could take me wherever I needed to go. I followed the road. I stopped at many places along the way, gathering supplies, still needing food. That was all I needed. Food.

North. I needed to go north. But which way was north? Which way? I travelled up the mountain, onto a snowy part. It was dark. I found an M4A3 in a bunker and turned on the flashlight. Excellent.

In the next settlement I made it to, I found a compass. Finally, I finally had the last piece! My food was flashing. But I would be home soon. I wasn't finished in the building, though. I didn't find anything particularly useful. I find the exit door. "So much to do, have to get there fa-" Bang. There was a faded flash from the doorway. I saw myself fall, looking at the broken bone indicator.

But... I had so much to live for. I did everything right. I forged a life out of the cold snow and I was a shining prowess ready to take on the wasteland. But someone had to take that away from me. Did they think, that maybe I had food? Were they starving as well? Did they want my car? My vehicle, for my life, I surely would have felt obliged to the offer. But no, instead of diplomacy, I was met by a hostile agressor that I could not see. One shot, all it took, and it was over. They would find no food. They would find no hope. Only a loaded vehicle and gun, they too soon doomed to die by a worse fate than I, starvation. They would see themselves die by the hands of nature. They would suffer.

*sigh* Ok, out of my artistic writing mood and all that... But anyway, I don't see why he could not have: 1. taken the car and gone 2. asked me for some food in direct chat and stay where I could not see him. Because by killing me, essentially, I could have killed him. And for how high I was on the mountain, he must have saw my light. And in Namalsk, NO ONE is doing well besides hackers, because you always either need food or warmth, or the means to get those things. He was looking for something. And I KNOW that everyone in Namalsk is well armed, so without a second thought I would of completely disrobed if I could still live. Well, either that or he logged on and was welcomed by me... But if he logged off THERE, he is a stupid SOB....

I'm going to start a Namalsk group. No sense in dying alone. Look in my content, and if it gives you a 502 bad gateway like me, lemme know and I'll post the link here! See you there!

[person915 345]

Oh, what a life this was. By the end of it, I had matches, a hatchet, a map, watch, survival knife, some meat steaks, some cans of food, tons of heatpacks, and two tents.

How I died. It's fucking ridiculous. I was getting chased by a zombie, and I see a ladder with a balcony. I was about to check this building out, so I go there anyway and climb up. As soon as I get to the top, I start sliding off! Acting quickly, I select "go down ladder". I almost made it. Instead, DayZ decided I would still fall, but then somehow not fall, staying on top of the balcony, with my legs broken and bleeding. A long hourglass then followed. Luckily, I wasn't shouting, and no zombies had come over. So I wake up, and again start falling. This time I got on the ladder! But oh, wait, now DayZ decided to knock me out WHILLE I'M ON THE LADDER! Wonderous! So I wake up now after a shorter time, still bleeding. I descend the ladder, and think all is good. OH WAIT, NO, NOW DAYZ DECIDED TO KNOCK ME OUT WHILE I'M ALREADY ON THE GROUND! I wait for another long hourglass, my blood now flashing. I know I can make it. It isn't flashing where it's almost out. So I get up quickly, and apply a bandage. Phew, I think. I stopped the bleeding, I have morphine, and I have some steaks. I'm going to be ok.

DAYZ THEN DECIDES TO MAKE ME DROP OVER DEAD FOR NO FUCKING REASON.

WTF? I am ok with dying. I really am. Because I have fun. But when I die from stupid glitches that should not happen, and when they happen excessively and for no reason, then I get pissed. I had everything. Everything I needed. And it did not get taken away by a player, nor a zombie, but a dumb ass glitch that I had no way of knowing existed.

*sigh* I really need someone to play with me so they can say, -insert broad monotone heroic voice here- "No, don't go on that ladder, it's glitched!".

But right now, I'm thinking for everyone all that I post is tl;dr....

I run a small Namalsk server, I started it because my friends and I prefer to player vs (hard core) environment + zombies, and I was tired of hacker infested servers or places full of jerks. If your interested search for THAC0 on dayz commander, or use the more direct approach. 216.244.78.34 : 2342

We play mostly after 20:30 pst
