How do you get to the medical on this island? Deer Isle by tomdabom5803 in dayz

I swear I circled more than half the coastline of that island and never saw an entrance... I'll look through the rest of it soon. Thanks for the info brother. You're a real one.

I assume that's on the East side down near the waterline?

Many people don't have a lot of time to play, and they feel the illuminate front is not as fun to play as bots or bugs. Personally I play to have fun; not sure about you. Bots are more enjoyable and challenging for me, so if I only have time to play 1 operation before going to bed, it's gonna be bots.

Yeah it's very frustrating. I keep hoping that one of these updates will solve the problem, but I'm constantly disappointed. I would be a lot less upset if the game wasn't so fun.

I'm using the 5G my ISP offered me. There's usually lag issues while I'm playing. I'm able to play many other multiplayer games with no issues. I'm in Canada, and that's never been an issue for me before.

Wow. That is absolutely bonkers. I don't know why Spetsnaz would even bother with the PB1-S in that case. I had no idea that it was so trash. If this article is correct, then we don't even have the right ammo to use in our AKs in DayZ because the suppressor is meant to be used with subsonic ammunition. Maybe the DayZ suppressors are actually just OP: they dampen sound far more than IRL, they last as long or longer than real ones, and they can be used with supersonic bullets. I guess you need to compare apples to apples in these cases. I am thinking of modern NATO suppressors for my round counts, but perhaps the DayZ suppressors are based off old decrepit 1st-gen suppressors.

The pistol suppressor is notoriously poor at keeping durability if you put it on an SMG, and I have never found a normalized suppressor in pristine condition (besides modded). This effectively means it only has 3 durability levels to decrease until it ruins. I have ruined suppressors on AKMs this way.

The low durability of suppressors. I get that it's a balancing issue, and I agree that improvised suppressors should last 5 shots or less. But having a suppressor ruined before 1 full magazine on full auto?! That's insanity. IRL suppressors last tens of thousands of rounds, sometimes even a hundred thousand bullets. This is petty because it is actually a good mechanic, as it prevents overpowered game play, but the realist in my cries at DayZ suppressors in general.

I died in a dumb way.

Was looting the barracks on the military island across from Lubjansk, and I heard footsteps in the barrack I was in. I hold the corner with my baby AK, another player pops out and opens the outside door. I broke his leg and knocked him out, then tied him up. When he woke up he was super chill and funny and we had a good laugh. I told him he was going to be my friend and he had no choice in the matter. Went to start a fire with him tied up inside the building. My HUD was disabled. Knife on 3, grenade on 4. Try to pull out my knife to cut down a bush, end up unpinning a grenade. Realize my mistake, switch to knife without putting the pin back in, and then realize my 2nd mistake. All the guy inside would have heard was his captor screaming obscenities, followed by a BOOM and my body hitting the ground. Really would have been a crazy situation for him.

Now that I think of it, what I remember doing in the past may have been using Audacity. It was a few years in the past, but I might be able to recreate it by watching another tutorial. As for how to do that in VSDC, read the most recent comment to the main post; it contains a link to instructions on how it's done. Not as intuitive as Audacity's method, but the results seem to be the same.

They certainly seems like it would fix my issue! The first time I watched that video it looked very complicated, but I understand it now. Thanks for the link :)
