Weird. I added my id here but can't seem to find the post.

I'd like to join the LYN DayZ group.

>decent experience in DayZ
>excellent combat maneuvering
>looking for more experience teaming up in DayZ

I try my best to avoid KoSing people. Survived being shot from the back 3 times on my previous char.
Have stocked up on some decent gear (pristine M4, Magnum)

Why don't we all play on Hardcore servers? They're always so empty. I'm not even worried of anything anymore playing on HC.

I want to join you. I started my HC guy fresh off due to the old "lag-fall to death" thing.

Yeah, I'd like to play on a full server too, and can hardly find any full hardcore server that's not in the EU, US or Aus (which is why I'm suggesting we play on HC ourselves heheh)

I just think there's a lot of advantage in playing with FPS.

- it's fair game for everyone
- no magic eye above the back of our head, so no one can see what's behind a wall
- makes for more intense close combat when it really happens
- if a sniper can see you, it means he's also revealing himself to you as well because he'd have to peek his head out, so you have a much higher chance of firing back fair and square if you're playing with good tactics and are always aware of your surrounding
- same goes for stairway firefight etc.
- all in all, it just rewards players who are constantly aware of their surroundings in an honest way (footstep sounds, lean peeking) and good recon skills are not a waste anymore because no one can see you from behind a wall without revealing themselves to you at the same time
- immersion wise, it's a lot more intense; especially at nighttime

So I think in addition to the future patch soon, it'll be even better when no one (hopefully) server hop or combat log. So no more getting killed after thoroughly clearing a building from a ghost who just BAM appeared behind your back.

A passersby wanders through and saw this scene. He immediately took pictures and later recognized the group of people as the
"Bottomless KKK of the Eastern Bloc".

Yes. That's the Redpunk livery for the military boot.

On another note, we should totally do this later when vehicles are implemented.

This is all I see.

No, lah. EU people also report same thing. 3 buddies play on same ISP, 35mbps connection somemore. 1 guy logs in, cool. 2nd guy, ok. Then 3rd guy comes in, 100k desync. They can see him move around but he cant see them. A lot of people complain. My ping is pretty similar with u guys. Some people theorized that its the problem syncing with inventories, especially when people lug around the 300rds box with them, and it usually happens to the last guy who arrived at a populated spot. Run away from the spot and no problem, sync again.

Yeah, I read that one too. Inventory related problem.

Just now I was playing with RetreatHell in HC, we have all 3 in our inventory: medkit, yellow box, and the 300 rounds. Desyncing like two pigs in a Hadron Collider.
I finally died desyncing out from the 2nd floor NWAF barracks, through the wall, face smack into the floor while RetreatHell died from mysterious bleeding.

To everyone who didn't get the patch, please restart Steam.

Updated myself as well. Nothing on the server list. Just now before updating there are servers as usual.

The LRS can't be attached to the SKS anymore. Check the changelog.

"- Weapons: It is no longer possible to attach longrange scope onto SKS"

STANDING OFFER



SKS - Pristine
4 rounds loaded
10 rounds loose

I'm at Balota coast right now. Trade-in with PU scope (pristine/worn) or LRS (damaged and above).

huehuehue

Had a great session just now. Thanks everyone for welcoming me into the group. I love the initiation.
Thank you for looting the *******'s Mosin for me. My death somehow didn't seem so bad anymore.



Souvenir from last night:

No. He's not Voron. I am.

Personally, I think it's the weather system. Might not be as optimized as it should.

I never had any problem stocking up on food and water. Didn't even have to go to any airstrip/military camp. Didn't have to server hop. All you have to know is where to find what type of loot and how to get in and out safely even without weapons.

I only have 3 hours of experience playing the mod, and so far 77 hours of the game. The only common guide I refer to are status effects, basic navigation, and how to get "Healthy/Healing". The rest, I use common sense. Don't do in DayZ what you won't do in real life i.e. eat rotten fruits, charge head on into a big city not knowing if there's a lot of bandits looking for you, reveal yourself to strangers with weapons, or trust people you don't know.

While the game is still in alpha, it's a good time to practice good techniques and form survival habits so you can use it later on. Don't "server hop while they haven't fix the loot respawning/game is still in alpha" because once that is fixed, chances are everyone will have good gear and you don't know jack on survival methods and will get killed because you're too inexperienced in Chernarus life apart from opening doors and running in and out of barracks.

>research for yourself what kind of loot spawn in what kind of buildings (TEC, office, hospital, school, firestations, ATC, prison, barracks, barns, stables, construction sites, and houses)

>remember the colors and shapes of the houses because they spawn different kind of loot that usually ranges from clothes, small equipments and all the way to civilian-grade weaponries (yes, I've found Mosins and Izh43s and their attachments in small houses) and they usually are unlooted if you look for them in the inland regions because everyone is too busy looting Elektro, Cherno, and mil. bases anyways

>always scout a place first (especially high pop. areas) before entering. Opened doors and cleared zombie spawns are usually a sign telling you that people have already looted the place. Up to you to continue looting the place for leftovers. Risk vs. reward.

>always close the door behind you. Closed doors make people think the place is unlooted and there's no one else but him. It makes them lower their guard and be stupid, so if they try anything, you'll know it but he won't know about you. It keeps you in the upper hand. Keep your weapon raised in buildings and use 1PP. When entering doorways or moving into a corner around a wall, slice the pie. http://youtu.be/CEhYKl2sB8U And don't run in buildings FFS.

>if the zombies are too much of a hassle, don't fight them inside buildings. As long as they haven't fixed noclipping zombies, you can't see where they come from through the wall. It's also unsafe to use melee inside buildings as the melee hit detection is retarded. If you take them outside buildings, you can whack them with the axe and finish them quickly and safely without attracting attention as compared to using guns.

>wearing civilian clothes with bright colors decreases the chance of friendly players shooting you. Wearing masks, ballistics helmets and military fatigues will skew their perception into thinking you are a gear horder and quite possibly a bandit. He might interrogate you first but will blast your ass at the first sign of non-compliance. However, how you dress might not change the perception of a noob bandit looking for some easy action.

>before you go out venturing for trouble or whatever it is you do in Chernarus these days, get yourself a lot of food and a water pump location and try to achieve the "Healthy/Healing" status. Google it. It regens your blood, keeps you hydrated and energized for longer and gives other benefits that are likely to be introduced in the future.

>an M4 decked with all pristine attachments won't save you in times of starvation. A Mosin complete with a bipod, a compensator and an LR scope won't save you from thirst. You can't eat the .45 rounds, and neither can the .357 wet your throat. Make food and water your top priority, and expand your inventory capacity while you're at it so you can store them.

>don't hoard too much stuff with you. Be smart. Think about what you need first and foremost in any situations. Throw what's in excess, keep what's essential. However, bandages/rags are a top priority in all situations. It's a must have in every inventory.

That's all I can think of right now; all the very basics that are not in common beginner guides. These are what I practice myself. I'm not the kind of guy who regularly go out into the cities to look for some PvP action. All I do now is mostly go from town to town to collect supplies before venturing innawoods, hiking to castles and miscellaneous Chernarus landmarks. If you're not looking to play the way I play, then these tips are not for you. If you're looking to set a personal record on longest time of survival, than these should work at least decently.

The healthy state looks like this:
