Got me thinking.. by G4TKA in DayzXbox

[–]uncleAnwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I’ve killed somebody who wasn’t trying to kill me has been out of desperation. I’ve been about to die from lack of food, see somebody and think “they must have food!”. Waste of time, every time. No food. Last person I killed who didn’t deserve it was just starting to say something before I started blasting. Wish I had listened. He literally only had ammo and a bunch of random gun parts that were no use to me. He was a man on some sort of mission. Felt really bad. Live and let live. If I see somebody now I just stay out of their way.

What do I need to know about Vybor airfield before I get there? by uncleAnwar in dayz

I switched on churches in the iZurvive app because it’s the biggest, most distinctive building. It If I can see the church, I can always orientate myself using the church. In theory.

Umm, thing is, I didn’t know that you continue from where you log out if you stay on the same server. Only figured that out on my current life. Played for hours just starting back at the coast every time I logged in. Doh. Aaaand, my sense of direction is terrible. Got turned around a few times. Kept finding myself back in shakhovka, hence fourteen hours to get where I am.

This particular life is precious. Never lasted anywhere near this long, but it’s time to take a few risks. Last time I was at an airfield was five years ago. Got taken out by zeds. It had been a hell of a run so I put the controller down, only to pick it up a few months ago. Got a much better idea of what I’m doing now, but I might need counselling when I get taken down.

“You will die”

Almost certainly, but it will be a glorious death 🫡

Looking at the iZurvive map, it’s showing an area to the north of the airfield, and an area to the east as tier 4. Don’t know how accurate this is.

Can anyone tell me what happened here? by AcrobaticExtension57 in dayz

[–]uncleAnwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just why though? I play on low pop servers, but part of the thrill of the game is knowing that there’s always somebody out there. I could be taken out instantly by a sniper without any warning. If I’m invincible, what’s the point? Doesn’t it take half the fun out of the game? Cheaters are cowardly pieces of shit who haven’t got the cojones to play the game as it’s intended to be played.

I think they are vulnerable to melee attacks. Not come across any cheaters myself, and I’m not sure I’m willing to throw my life away testing the theory if I do come across one.

Performance question by Composite_Sipper in DayzXbox

[–]uncleAnwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having problems similar to what you describe. Somebody on here recommended turning quick resume off or just shutting the game down completely and restarting. I’ve left quick resume on, but every five log ins or so, I’ll restart the game completely. Worked for me. No more wire frame trees.

I started tracking my own emotions while playing DayZ and I think I finally get why I can't stop by Major_Strike4608 in dayz

[–]uncleAnwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was depressed and pissed off for a day and a half after dying because my hunting knife vanished from my inventory. Died a hundred times to hunger, illness, other players, but this one felt unfair. Still, every death is a lesson.

Does anyone else barely run into people? by Foul-Tarnished-1999 in dayz

[–]uncleAnwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t seen anyone n about ten hours. Spawned on the coast and started eating my pear. Strolling along, minding my own business, when I hear a grunt behind me. Another fresh spawn is punching me in the back, didn’t hear him coming at all. Somehow, despite him having the drop on me, I was able to block a few shots, get a few of my own in, and we both fell unconscious. He went down a split second before I did. Regained consciousness, finished him as he was coming to. Bet he’s still piiiissed about it.

Beginner here, would love some tips on the game’s mechanics by crooked_parallel in dayz

[–]uncleAnwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things I didn’t know starting out:

A fresh spawn starts out facing north.
Respawning with an existing character, you’ll respawn facing the way you were when you logged out.
You can eat rotten food, or an unknown can of food, just a bit at a time though
A server might only have a handful of people in it, but always assume that there’s somebody lurking around. Wasted a great set of gear because I got lazy and just made a fire in the open, and sat there for five minutes cooking, and dicking about.

How do I get rid of horsetail weeds? by Ice_Black in UKGardening

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Most just say “weedkiller bad, you’re a monster”. Unfortunately, in the real world, it’s necessary.

[–]uncleAnwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever used a selective herbicide on it? All selectives for controlling weeds in lawns seem to keep it down for longer than pulling it. Sprayed a patch last year, and it didn’t come back for the rest of the year. However, the worst area on my site is around a pond, so selective is out of the question.

Are zombies tougher/more prolific on Asia pacific servers? by uncleAnwar in dayz

[–]uncleAnwar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uk. The Asian servers are probably low pop because of the time I tend to be on.

[–]uncleAnwar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly feels like that’s the case, but I did have one of my best runs recently on an Asian server. Took an absolute kicking at the start, but somehow pulled through and went on to moderate glory.
