thebalfrog 4 Posted January 8, 2014 What do you guys do for fun in DayZ? Being sniped/sniping isn't that rewarding and I maybe get one good M4/pistol battle a day what do you guys do for fun when geared?Pic related is what I dohttp://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/451784274781194301/D7CEB132BD5B3DFCA34D27FC02314C97644E329E/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mistersicilia 4 Posted January 8, 2014 I go to the one of the forests Chernarus, sit down with a full stomach and read one of the many books in the game. So peaceful... Loljk messing with other players is much more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GanjaPalooza 35 Posted January 8, 2014 Well I will lay it out for you: My first couple weeks were played like I played the Mod - quickly get some decent gear, hydrate and get food, then move inland a bit to look around. Here's the problem with the Alpha, as of now there is nothing really moving inland for unless you want to get to the airfields or had no luck finding basic supplies on the coast (which seems to vary server to server and some days are better than others). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE exploring the new map and have touched a lot of the inland areas that are new/changed. We have lately been staying close to Elektro and getting in the midst of the madness because of how bored I got inland :P . I feel bad because I have KoS'd more these past few days than ever before but oh well, I am learning the fighting mechanics and having a lot more fun interacting with other survivors instead of trying to hold on to the little gear I have to survive kinda for no reason. Go North of Bere and check out some of Rify and the newly added area in Guba if you haven't yet - be weary.... it's a dangerous approach there but there would have to be one hell of a sniper to make some of the shots around there. Make sure you have plenty of food and water, it's a long trek and you might get sucked in farther north, I know we did :D Besides that, get on the coast and have some FUN.... not just KoSing everything - be smart and you can survive as a friendly in this hostile coastline. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 8, 2014 I have been thinking of testing the capabilities of stacking inventory items within other items. I know back when I was on the coast, I could have items inside a pair of pants that were inside of the pants I was wearing. At one point, I had the option of putting a pack inside another pack. I have had a full pack though for the past few weeks and have not had the opportunity to put anything like that in my inventory. I would like to see how much I can get stacked inside of a pack that I carry in my pack. Hopefully, I get enough to fully gear a new spawn and I can handcuff them and see if the game will let me put the pack on their back. I will then have plenty of time to run away before they ever find the loaded pistol at the very bottom of the stack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could infinitely stack bags Inflated, but you need 4 35 slot bags to make it space viable, as it takes up 25 slots, leading to 9 being used, and this having to be done 4 times to gain more "useful" inventory of 36 slots, also as you mentioned a pain to unpack!

Bakercompany86 347 Posted January 8, 2014 I stock up on food, water, and medical supplies and try to play the role of Combat Medic. It's gotten me shot in the face twice, but I've otherwise helped at least a dozen or so players without conflict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazZarD87 166 Posted January 8, 2014 Shooting ppl with our group. Variating from 2 to 5 guys at any given time. Just terrorise the crap out of a certain area really. Lovely. Especially when for some reason ppl insist on looting a corpse.. You'd think they figure it out when there is a pile of 6 bodies... but nope... the pile grows. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was more thinking of 1 bag inside my bag. That then has clothing items, food, and water inside of it. There would then only be one clothing item that was further stacked with another clothing item inside another clothing item and that item would have a pistol. Therefore, once it is all unpacked by the person I gave it to, they are pretty much geared up. Obviously, I only want to hand it over to people that I have forced into handcuffs, therefore they believe they are being robbed and killed. Me on the other hand would walk away with very little, except what I am wearing, after giving that away. No big deal, I will simply restock what I need.

DevilDog (DayZ) 455 Posted January 8, 2014 So you get fully geared up and then hand cuff new spawns? :| Let me save you some time. Don't get fully geared up, just find a pair of cuffs and an axe and you can do the same thing. :thumbsup: I try to help people. That is much more difficult than just killing everyone I see.
