I still haven't even picked up let alone tried charcoal because that's what I figured, puking causes hydration/energy and I believe blood loss? I have a ton of netting and duct tape and haven't been moving around the map enough to sustain myself on found food so fish it is. I'm just messing with the cooked meat making you sick keep rough number on how often it happens and the fastest ways to recover. I'm looking for some charcoal to try but this one just happened so I'll call it another test of just eating through it, I did take blood that I may or may not transfuse back after the sick status passes to see how much that speeds recovery.   

 

 

3. I'm the single player then, I think I have a longhorn on me now in case I see a deer but was unarmed by choice since last Wednesday. I have told 2 separate ungeared players to keep their distance and mind their own business was healthy and would have out sprinted them anyway, and completely avoided 2 grouped armed players by seeing them first and hiding, no shots fired I survived making it a survival game.  

 

Good stuff. Though the longhorn can do serious damage if it has to.

 

I've gone long periods without a gun too, as I pass over most of the "useless" ones, like the makarov, as IMO, that just announces your position or pisses other players off as opposed to doing any kind of damage.

 

As for surviving by avoiding contact with potential enemies, that's how I play the game. Sometimes, however, contact is absolutely inevitable and withdrawal impossible.

...ending up in running from tree to tree with open inventory...

 

How do you do that?

 

If I open my inventory (tab), my toon stops dead.

[jayfkay (DayZ) 185]

same here, BUT i have the "old" squirrel problem, i can´t find 1/3 of my well hidden backpacks after some time :blush:  

all trees looks equal...damit ^^

 

ending up in running from tree to tree with open inventory and thinking...moah..was not that realy needed stuff..forget about it and place an new backpack^^ 

Try the isurvive map, you can create and save your own custom markers and even share them with others. Edit: Actually, fuck that.

schnipp....

 

As for talking to people, that's the thing that gets me killed as I'm the one off my guard. In fact, I specifically stated that "...my usual encounters are "Hello!" -> Bang! -> You are Dead..." i.e. that's me saying "Hello" and getting blasted in the face, when I'd much rather just se if the other player has anything to trade. The only time this doesn't happen, is when I meet a new spawn. But they probably are only "friendly" because they don't have a weapon themselves yet. In saying that, I also met new spawns that have their fists out throwing punches within a second of "Hello".

 

....schnapp

 

 

at the moment there is no need to talk to other players, everyone is well fed and has his own water bottle. so, most "meetings" will end in someone is dead.

later in development i hope there will be much more scare loot and trading will be an very important part of surviving.

 

but now, no need to interact if you don´t want to get shot

[Thurman Merman 726]

Noone has found my stuff nor will. I think I found a very solid way of hiding my few backpacks here and there. But the way I see it the places to hide stuff are indeed kinda limited. If I told you why, I would give away my locations :P

I know exactly what you mean.  Nudgenudge winkwink

[wasnu (DayZ) 392]

you can run with open inventory with all options (-newui or without), dont get what you mean. 

my toon only stops when i enter the settings (esc).

thanks, this is an good option, but i am realy lazy

finding stuff and carry it away from hotspots is fun enough.

 

since .58 hits stable i found so much stuff, i could live from it until the sun crashed our earth  :blush:

 

same with bullets for my guns, i think i have enough ammo to kill all dayz players....if i found my backpacks^^

 

EDIT: last two days i tried to spook people with my walkie talkies, it´s funny like hell.

found two walkies and batteries, drop one near the officer tent and the other in your backpack.

 

within 750 m range you can talk via voicechat or text chat and the dropped walkie plays the sound or text to all hoppers near the officer tent.

 

so funny to see them panic mid in the tents...i love it  :P

Ya poor choose of words on my part... 

But ya i tried those places you mentioned this weekend too, still nothing.

 

Just hoping they fix this for next patch cuz i hate play on public servers with server hopers and ghosting. 

By any chance you know any EU/high pop, private server where CLE is working properly? Thks

I barely play on private hives. And I don't mind the server hoppers because I'm not long at military locations so I never see them. :)

True enough although my current character and camps are tailored to limit my need to take those risks. As long as I can hit a couple remote sheds here and there and pick up a roll of tape I can survive without venturing into civilized areas or walking roads.

[Thurman Merman 726]

This lag/camp bug is driving me nuts.  I want my 4 barrels, 5 tents, military tent, and 3 trucks all in the same picture, dammit!!!  ;-)

 

ETA:  relogging had been working, but now, it's completely frozen.  And I don't even have the trucks within 500m.

I would be content with having my 5 backpacks and 1 barrel in a single spot :D

and not having guns disappear. Certain guns most certainly disappear at server restarts or earlier. So I put my 2 backup guns into the barrel to make sure I can keep them.

I got greedy.  Had a camp with 2 tents and 2 barrels that worked as long as you relogged.  Brought in 3 more tents and a load of loot.  Now it's daid.

 

ETA:  And it's a private shard, so I can't even take it to another server.  :(

I notice people have been talking about fps issues and whatnot regardless of their system setup.. Just throwing this out there but I very very rarely drop below 60 fps regardless if I am in a massive city or in the middle of B.F. nowhere. All of my video settings are near max, the only things I disable/turn down are shadows (simply because they are annoying), and the 'slider' settings like rotation blur/bloom.

If you value the stuff, you can most certainly try picking it up with relogs. For example, drag the barrel into your hands. Obviously nothing will happen. Now you relog, it should be in your hands - and gtfo :D

But there barrel is full and closed.   :(  If I can get it open, I'm good, I think.

 

ETA:  and it's great stuff - multiple MP5s with mags, multiple UMPs with mags, AUG, Blaze w HS, Maxed out Mosins, many handguns, Hicap vests, boots with knives, etc.  I'm a dirty, dirty hoarder.

How do you do that?

 

If I open my inventory (tab), my toon stops dead.

 

If you have your movement buttons bound to different keys other than the default it can affect your ability to move with inventory open.

 

I have my keys bound for left handed mouse movement and I use the arrow keys to move, because of this I cannot move with my inventory open. Instead the arrow keys just scroll through highlighting parts of the inventory and inventory border.

 

I still loot as thoroughly as anyone though. I have an innate knowledge of the size of "vicinity" and dash and scan inventory in spurts while also looking for signs of loot poking out through the environment. This keeps me looking around while looting intermittently, and not just head down jogging.

 

It also helps to try to learn where the spawn points are in and around structures/vehicles and always assume things can be buried in the map or under other loot.

"merman city" grows too fast...like on exp. ...sorry

you can run with open inventory with all options (-newui or without), dont get what you mean.

You can only run with inventory open with the old ui but not walk.

I think with newui you can now walk and run with inventory open.

sorry for my bad wording, there is walking, jogging and running, i meant jogging.

 

this works with default moving keys with -newui and without, never tried other keys for it, sorry

i can´t change my direction with my mouse but with "D" and "E" 

 

and i play without -newui

Well you're the only one on the planet. Would love to see proof of this. Don't think it's possible.

EDIT: thos posts like "yes, its an apocalypse, but i will only eat my beans with an spoon not with my fingers"

or " i search for my pristine mil. boots and knife to store it in my tents for later, but later i try to find an new pair"

 

its like me, i wear my pristine mil. boots and my pristine knife, but i don´t use this shiny knife, i use allways my stone knife. i don´t want my mil. knife degrade  :blush:

Yes that could be the case but i have bound my keys to different keys like Biohaze and i can only run or walk, no jogging.

Thats the reason why i diden´t know that. I only know that it wont work with walking but i think with newui it works.

[ColdAtrophy 1850]

Does anyone know if a packed up tent sitting on the ground is still persistent or if it must be deployed to be persistent?

[Tonyeh 454]

Well, that's the problem so. I use the arrow keys too.
