Graz (DayZ) 146 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) The loading screen is great, I'd love to see some noob friendly tips, letting them know the things we already know from dying 12492148926419 times.Reason for this? Best way to distribute information imo.We all have to look at the loading screen and there's very little to do apart from read the tipsRemember, bandits can hear you shootingZombies spawn only when players are close ~200 metersHelicopter crashes are a great source of equipment, but can spawn in any fieldGot a broken leg? Contact the Reddit Rescue ForceAdmin powers (for the obviously large amount of uninformed)There's always someone shooting in Cherno (for the old timers!)Patch notesDon't trust anyone at first sight, access the situation before revealing yourselfThe bigger the weapon, the more zombies are atracted by it's soundI have more I'll put up, feel free to contribute to the list. If it gets decent enough we might even get a sticky :PIt's a very SIMPLE idea, I'm aware. I think the tips are great, it gives you something to do during the load screen and sometimes even the pros learn somethingFlamers, bean givers, contributors are all welcome.

superwinner (DayZ) 2 Posted August 1, 2012 Sound good, but would have to be server based. A randomized message at the the bottom left of the screen when you join a server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teo (DayZ) 6 Posted August 1, 2012 The loading screen is quite static, so the hints wouldn't be able to "shuffle" smoothly as some other games that have the hints as base feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuclearaddict 15 Posted August 1, 2012 Sure, why not. It can only help new players. Except the reddit part. Scum community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polkaman 60 Posted August 1, 2012 Misleading title, I thought you found away around the 45 minute loading screens on servers with more than 2 players. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProGrasTiNation 7 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I dont think you should have help on the loading screens,its about survival & freedom.I think its much better having people learn the hard way about doing things (like runnig towards gun fire)& they would feel much more of a reward because of it,,i no i did anyway.
