murff 1 Posted January 18, 2013 After trying this a few times I finally get into a server and am able to make it about 35 min without dying. Sucky part, lunch break is over and I have to get back to work.What?? there is no option to abort.??So a few questions:1) While in game is it possible to leave the game while saving your location and the loot you have acquired? (I saved server as a fav so I could go back into it this evening, I assumed location and loot would not go from server to server.)2) the abbreviations listed on the server, not sure what they stand for CH: ON 3DP: ON CH ON ? Nevermind figured that out :)Guess only one question then, thanks :)(SIde note: The talk I heard was right this is SO much better than the 'other' game I have been playing, I love how interactive everything is here, I was able to gut a chicken, and the kind game, did not allow me to get salmonella by not letting me eat it raw. ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted January 18, 2013 If you are in Combat, you cannot leave the game for 30 Seconds. This can include firing a weapon, or throwing an object. Or getting shot at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastoverlord 574 Posted January 18, 2013 Press the escape key while in game, then press abort. You cannot abort if you are in combat. Even if you alt-f4, your power goes out, whatever, your gear will always be saved to that server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to kill zombies aswell you can just run around them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use buildings to avoid zombies. Only check zombies if you are desperate for supplies or feel completely save. The best they have on them are occasionally food and military clips on military ones.

murff 1 Posted January 18, 2013 Ok thanks! Hopefully when I jump back I won't get attacked immediately LOLIs there a way to tell if a server is part of the main hive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lido 54 Posted January 18, 2013 Most Private Hive servers will tell you that they're private, and looting every body you see isn't very wise as it leaves you open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted January 19, 2013 Just press escape>abort. When you log back in(go to the same server, there's a big chance you logged into a private hive) you'll have your gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigdogsco 143 Posted January 19, 2013 To answer your question, in dayzcommander the servers that are a NOT part of the main hive display an icon that is a cloud with a cross through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
