I smell $$$ customization DLCs!
I killed myself in a porta potty. I went inside to get a bandage and accidentally closed the door on my head, which broke my leg. Coming out the door hit me again killing me dead and leaving my body for zombie food
I got a slight chuckle from reading this the first time....
but then i imagined someone seeing this happen from a distance. LOL
It's wayyy to early for me to be laughing this much.

Can someone explain the map? I know how to use it and make markers and what not but watching the Criken stream I saw that people can see your map markers? Is this true?

I have the choice of something like 100 different faces in my character profile:
My newest one:
I hear a lot of messages about people being betrayed for their beans, just in case you didn't know not everyone in this game is a bad person. I met a guy who took me to the hospital when i was low on blood, carried me up the stairs when we got ambushed by zombies and found me a blood pack before guiding me out of the city. I definitely won't be shooting other players on sight
Yup, I got saved by a random guy while at the North Airfield.
I was exploring the first few buildings when a zombie spawn happened and I had to start defending myself. I got overrun and knocked down with two zombies eating me. I thought it was over when the zombies died, I got up - he gave me a blood transfusion and some ammo. Then we explored together for the next couple hours.
Though this morning I was considering going bandit or making a new profile to be a bandit.
It's a map. Yes other people with maps can see any markers you place down.
I've thrown together a quick replacement for the OP, which is located here ->
DayZ GAF Thread - GoogleDocs
Obviously it's incomplete, but I've set it to allow editing and I'd like people to add their own tips and advice (or correct something I've not written down properly!) and add stuff if they feel it's necessary too. Once we're on a good consensus for it I'll PM Bish (since he edited the first post originally) and see if we can get a post injected before that.

people talk about showing names above heads
that is stupid
you can customize your character by selecting voice, skin color, face and glasses. Do not go vanilla choice in this mod and also remember to change the pitch of the voice after selecting a voice since this makes it a bit more distinct. Use voice orders ingame as a part of how to keep check on eachothers, just do not let the zombies hear you...
If you are going to trust someone you'd better learn to recognize how they look, otherwise you deserve to be killed. Pay attention to how your comrades look and you should be ok.
True, we could use a bit more variation in faces and definately in clothing but unless you are lazy there is enough character customization to be able to distinct people from one another.

Good post. Lots of good stuff in there. When I get a computer I'll add some tips.

You must be a day walker! Try playin at night without turning your gamma up and tell me how easily it is to distinguish the difference between 7 other players.
My character is stuck with the hourglass on (the hourglass doesn't empty and so it never disappears). Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Obviously logging out isn't the solution, I'm back in that state when I log in. And I can't kill myself (esc>Respawn), the hourglass blocks my keyboard ingame.

what else would you expect venturing out in the dark?
darkness makes things difficult to see, that is the prime feature of darkness
Something crazy happened last night. A group of five of us were searching around the airfield in Balota, we went in the control tower and a bunch of AC-10 Warthogs suddenly spawned (one of which ended up half in the tower blocking out exit). One of the gang decided to get in one and instantly died, then everyone got kicked from the server. I think the admin was messing around on the server.
I did find a silenced MP5 in the nearby field hospital though, which was a nice surprise.

Oh man, can you imagine! Getting one of those A-10s in the air and strafing Cherno and Electro

But the difference being that even with low ambient light you should be able to tell who is who especially with voice alone. But you can't as voice chat does't work properly in game. Mouths don't move when using a 3rd party service. We had a group of 8 earlier and had a lot of trouble disseminating who was who when it came to trading supplies. A simple hat change or shirt change would solve all these problems.

Have found tons of weapons on military base near Stari Sobor. Come at mumble if you need directions guys. I feel bad for leaving all this good staff on the ground. I'm on FR3.
Read my last reply to you to get rid of this issue.
Last time I went there with the GAF group there was a machine gun in almost every tent, it's well worth the trip if you're south, but it's also a common raiding place for other players.

I am king of Berezino, I tried to get the GAF crew to go there before logging out but people needed sleep, so many supplies in the apartment buildings. Logged out in the fields North of the town after cooking like 7 steaks.
Vehicles that are repaired are server bound, you can fix one or find one someone else fixed, and yes all vehicles run on fuel.

The demo for Arma 2 runs worse than current version Arma 2
Really? Reeeeeeally?
What the fuck....? This might be possible to play then. Since AO works really good, and Arma 2 Free works really good too.
Was looking at Systemspecslabs, and they told me my current desktop wouldn't be able to run AO. But, it worked. HAH!
Wow.
Just need a few monies to buy AO then, and install this shit!

Some dick shot at me so I shot back and now I'm a bandit. Argh!
Got a Winchester off him, at least.

Welcome to the party!
Thank you. Have been watching streams and Youtube videos for hours on end, just daydreaming away on this.
Will join as soon as I get AO.
And one day, a working mic.

... okay, that Winchester is loud and shouldn't be used liberally. Oops.
I'm tempted to jump in but am not ££ loaded...I've been looking at this mobo bundle:
i5 2400 Processor
4GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory
Intel H61 Chipset mobo
@£200
Looks half-decent to me and a reasonable price, but obviously I'm a gfx card short. My current card is a 8800GTX 768MB jobbie, so it's not bad...does anyone know if this setup would work well enough?
Thanks in advance for any advice

Winchester is not loud by any means, you want loud shoot an Enfield anywhere near a town and see what happens
Anyone at Stary Sobor that could kill me? I'm stuck in unconscious state (hourglass forever on).
I'm lying south of the supermarket (maybe behind some bushes, I can't see well); I've got: clock, compass, sniper rifle with ammo, and the Alice backpack, so there's a bit of loot to gain.
Please.

It's also the best PvZ weapon in the game, holds 15 1-hit kill rounds per magazine, that thing is what you use to clean up a hoard.
Great read you should put it in that thread.
they really need to fix so that you do not have to reconnect to the server everytime you die
the worst thing about dying is not losing the gear but having to wait forever to get back in the game
I think that might be what really is hammering the servers, people dying and trying to respawn.

I might need some guinea pigs tonight to help with testing my stream while I try to get the audio fixed.
The viewing audience missed discussion of the tone and perfection of docbon's lower body, dude who muff dived on a menstruating zombie and a few of us not knowing people using global chat were in our party.

Thanks! Hopefully that helps people with some of their initial questions.

I always try to find a round about way to ask people. Be elusive, always get their interest in where you are and learn landmarks that can lead them away from where you want to go. The best one is the GreenHill tower.

The one where he's a hostage is great too, I was laughing so hard when the hostage exchange was going down.
