Ye I figured they hard to get, but remember I'm a bambi here, so please explain to me what to do when it gets dark and I still want to play. Tried changing my gamma etc, but still can't see sh#t at say around 10:30 or 11 :)

When it gets dark you have two options. log out or find something to use as light. You spawn in with a flashlight now but that gives your position away really easy. You can also use flare but those are Z magnets. I find chemlights work very well as you can hold or throw them so if you are seen with a chemlight you can throw it and prone in the dark.

You died bravely fighting. Just a tip: Zeds open doors, and climb ladders (apparently).

Yeah I've seen them open doors before. I lost LimpNoodle in the dark and thought that he might have ran through there to slow them down. Unfortunately it was a dead end :D
 
Got my first bandit kill(first player kill as well) yesterday, also ran into some other friendlies who probably shat their pants as well as we weren't sure if they were friends of said bandit(filled with adrenaline from the bandit encounter).
I was trying to talk to one of them through direct chat, but I could barely hear anything he was saying as he was really low, later I found out my windows volume setting for DayZ was almost close to mute/zero... "Ah no wonder" followed with a /facepalm
Originally I thought his mic was buggy or something and just tried to figure out what he was saying. :P

Fun stuff.

Oh btw, anyone know how vehicle spawns work is there like a limit on normal vehicles per server or something?
I was originally sceptical whether vehicles spawn on any of the ZA servers, but after encountering one yesterday it invalidated that thought.
 
Yeah, vehicle spawns are limited on the servers. One vehicle needs to be destroyed for another to spawn in. Not sure how many vehicles are on the server at once, though.
 
It pains me to not play... i really do enjoy DayZ but there are still waaaay to many people complaining about hackers. I must admit, its causing one of them "distance makes the heart grow fonder" type of situations... i see arma 2 in my steam library and am UBER tempted to click play :p

Soon my pretty.... soon
 
The hacking has gotten a lot less lately, might just be lucky.

Do anyone know if trees provide proper shelter(not falling directly on you) from the rain like houses, tried reading up on it but found nothing on the subject?

Playing it with friends make up for most of the bad stuff and them randomly freaking out with zombies and stuff is classic.
 
weird, what sort of hacking have you guys experienced? I don't think i've experienced any sort of hacking, unless its not always obvious when someone has hacked.
 
Man, I really need to try and get this mod working again. That updater thing borked my install up, and I just can't be bothered to try and get it to work again, but I have a hankering to play...
 
After a 5-death streak last night I managed to loot the 2 guys I killed (1 killed me at the same time). And wham-bam, fully kitted. I have however decided to be a lot friendlier lately, helping new spawns out etc. Got to do something to correct my -70k humanity :D
