***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

Me and a friend were travelling around, heading from Cherno to Electro on a server with about 20 people on.

We come across a bridge and my friend walks up the side support parts. "why are you going up there?" I decide to follow. He tries to get down. "I'm dead" he says...

There's a zombie spotted me and I try to walk down the sloped part. My character decides it's a good time to jump or something as I fall to the floor. I thought I was dead too, as screen went really grey, but then colour came back and I shot the zombie.

I try to get up and that's fine, I proceed to walk to my mates body and I start crawling. "I've broken my legs!!" I crawl to my friends body, take most of his stuff for safe keeping and then head under the bridge.

He spawns in the south east town and so only takes him 10mins to get back.

He suggests I log out and back in as that apparently fixes broken legs... It does not.

I crawled to a "nearby" building where we decided we'd call it a night. We have not a lot of food, so I'm probably going to starve before we get to the next town. He's going on tomorrow evening to try and find some supplies, something to fix my legs.
 
Quite an interesting turn of events!

Yes the returning to main menu exploit was patched about a week ago. You'll want a splint, they rarely spawn but you can craft them with the stick item and rags. A morphine auto injector should also work, although I've not tried one and they are pretty rare. Try the nearest medical spawn, the "pub" buildings are pretty common.
 
Having loads of fun still on this, Elektro is absolutely crazy... its fun, I like people watching at times... seeing how randoms interact etc

Last night I spawned in Elektro and ran into the town (i knew there was no loot, but just wanted to see someone)... anyway, there was a lad being held up in the corner pub type building and I was watching through the window. Nothing more or less, just thought it was funny.

Loads of action though, plenty kills to be had and plenty times had my own brains splattered across my gear.

The ruined stuff makes it a lot harder now as looting a body you have lit up isnt so easy to get good gear. Makes holdups the smart way to play, rather than shoot on sight if you want something good.
 
Here's a random feature idea... Be funny if you could "play dead" - as an alternative to fighting or running or possibly to open up some new tactics, e.g:

You and a buddy are travelling through an area, staying apart from each other, suddenly you come under fire... instead of trying to run you fall down as if dead and wait while your buddy stays hidden... When the shooter comes over to loot the "corpse" he gets an axe to the back of the head

I guess it's similar to just diving on the ground when shot at but the animation could be deliberately different and more similar to when you've been killed, perhaps with an accompanying (but fake) death notification
 
yeah thought about this myself. in a zombie mod we used to play in cod4 you could do similar. quite fun and scarey when you know a group of people are right next to you :D

just got me a shotgun and the new double barrel rifle. :cool: had hardish time looting for food but just got some rice so atleast ill survive for a while yet :)
 
Many players who played the mod already do put an extra round into someone once they go down. That being said I would like to see the option, could be useful in certain situations. Nice idea!
 
would like to see them add some form of currency maybe something similar to metro gold bullets that do more damage but quite rare

True, although you could equally use the "play dead" action to mess with people anyway - what about if you do it when you hear someone nearby but they don't see you fall down?

You could just wait while they sift through your pockets and then go after them quietly once they're done... :p

The whole psychological messing aspect could go further, like what if you could optionally puncture a blood bag and wear it in your pocket - so you have the bleed effect as if you're weakened but actually you're totally fine... Okay a lot would still KoS but imagine how funny it would be "hey buddy! Little help!!! I'm in pretty bad shape here"... guy goes over and tries to use blood "Huh? It won't let me use it" BLAM
 
if you use mic you just use default button which is caps.

there is only direct at moment so you can only talk to people close by anyway.

Aaaaand thats why I kill everyone on sight. Not the way I want to play but its pretty much forced on me.

I remember in the early original mod where they implemented bandit skins so people who did that stuck out like a sore thumb, now I just have to kill everyone regardless of them saying friendly or not.
 
I never use the ingame comms, it will give away your position to somebody in close proximity. Only when im playing my my team do we use it to hold people up, tbh its very rare that we need to hold people up.
