I too would like a server that is a 24-HR cycle, no third person, and no crosshairs. Someone recommend a server if they can please.

I have yet to see a Revolver in game and have asked around if anyone has, and they've all said no so far. I am kind of surprised. Is it not inserted into the loot tables yet? Not sure what's happening with it and all. Cheers, everyone.

We got to get the Colt 1911 out there, rocket. that's going to be my baby :beans: :beans: :)

I think people just get bogged up because of their thirst and hunger meter. I'm guessing they think that they wouldn't make it up north and they have a better chance just staying put at the coast and trying to find the essentials, and afterwards getting some altitude. At least that was my attitude. That's probably going to change from here on in, though.

I want a pair of shorts haha. Cargo or Jeans, or whatever works. We need 'dem shorts!

I had some really decent loot (M4, Vest, some diff clothing, etc.), and then I died of hunger haha

I am upset that rocket chose to have the zombies respawn instead of all spawn at the server start :(, I was very much looking forward to taking over a town and making it a settlement with a bunch of friends. I am seriously hoping that this is just a temporary resolve until they can fix the zombie ai/# of zombies and disable respawning again.

A woman is a woman, my friend.

So far, of all the things I've earned in the past two weeks, I lost it all. The two helicopters, two vehicles, two tents, all the gear inside those tents, my character 5x at least. I still want to be a good person in the game and realize there are going to be people who stay ignorant to the matter and KoS because of a bad confrontation some while ago. Do you really think a fence keeps bad and good people out? It keeps honest people honest. The issue here is that there is nothing that truly tells people to stay honest apart from a skin and some frowning upon by the community. I think the ante needs to be upped more. Not where being a bandit is as difficult as sleeping with Kate Upton, but there is a much more clearer line from someone who a. kos for fun b. doesn't truly kos but kills and steals c. someone who kills in self defense d. a neutral survivor e. someone who is helpful but not truly heroic f. a straight up hero. At least those are some of my concepts.

:(

I didn't click on it because I knew it was going to be a screamer or porno or something. Can someone tell me what it is?

Granted, the backstory of how Chernarus had gotten into its state has not been revealed yet (or maybe not even started), but I assume that due to this catastrophic event, the Chernarussian military make an attempt to come to its aid. Another assumption I am going to make is that the Chernarussian military has been supplied with previous Russian military gear, such as the SSh-68 helmet. Now, these things aren't made to stop bullets (might be able to at the right angle), but they are capable of stopping things such as shrapnel (say, from a rocket or a grenade), and help protect the head. There are also kevlar-made versions of these helmets, although I am not sure if Chernarus exactly has those in stock. Nonetheless, I think they are fully compliant with the "story" so-to-speak, and if implemented, should spawn at military settlements, (sleeping areas, armories, etc.), and should be more common than compared to say, an American helmet (that is, unless the story has to do with the US making their own control of the territory?). What do you think? photo was blocked in china

Ha, I started to read the 'most players/update' and saw that is was increasing in player count in math class. I was so excited, and people are like 'wtf are u so happy about', I tried to explain to them, but they didn't understand. Haha, I think it is indeed happening.

If it gives you an experience, then it's not a bad thing necessarily. However, in my opinion, there is a difference between a person who does bandit activities and a player who simply KOS/snipes people for no reason other than for kicks. If you pick me up, tell me some story about this "awesome base", then lead me to a fighting cage where I have to fight another survivor to the death, then hell yes that is my favorite bandit. But if you are a dick who simply sits on a building camping out the fresh spawn areas killing players, you are certainly not a bandit. I hope rocket can address these two type of "bandits" soon. It doesn't help when the Bandit skin immediately generalizes that area.

:(

A friend and I were refueling a chopper we had recently grabbed when we were interrupted by two newbie players in the game. They were both armed, and we didn't know what to do. We decided to shoot them and leave their guns under a fuel tank afterwards (I felt reallly bad). To be fair, I was under a lot of pressure because I knew the airfield was under watch at the time and that a sniper could take us down any second. Enjoy it!

Well, when I was coming out of the AC Tower, I saw one player (I believe it was the one with the G36) walking past the hangars and he was in firing range, and I was hella exposed. I'm sure if I had gone down there and then, my friend probably would of tried to handle it. We tried to be as friendly as possible, but like I said, that helicopter was being watched for nearly a week, and all we needed was parts. Funny thing is, the second we got out of the Airfield, someone started to fire on my vehicle with a sniper rifle. We left just in time, actually.

Yeah, I don't feel so bad anymore after reviewing over some things that happened. Still pretty funny to look back on. E: Anyone like that headshot at the end? yeeeeaaaa boii

This evening, I had been jogging through the NW forests to discover a camp with a flora of weaponry. Through this, I decided to leave a vehicle with weapons in the bordering area of Myshkino, marked it on the map, busted the wheels, and announced it over chat. I felt pretty good from it. Suddenly, I was getting scolded for ruining the game for them! The person seemed very uneased and annoyed, so I asked him why it was bad. The player said "it is not fun to get gear without working for it." I paused for a moment, and really thought about this statement. I can certainly agree with it, but is it wrong to give high end gear to other players? I mean, I'm not spawning this in or anything, and it is the holidays after all. I certainly won't do it again if I am going to get a response like that. I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter and whether you approve of activity. Post away!

Hey there! I decided to look in Server General for a non-third person Vanilla DayZ server and I can't find any :(. I don't understand why they are so unpopulated? May I please get a list of servers, or suggestions of servers that have these requirements? Thanks.

ping is pretty destroyed for me at that server, thanks though!

I was at the Northeast Airfield refueling a chopper a friend and I had recently taken. We knew there were players watching the area because a majority of the choppers go to this one clan on the server, and seeing a chopper spawn without warning was a pretty rare sight. So here we are, we finally got the Helicopter flyable, just refueling and all of a sudden these two guys come with weapons towards us. One heads to one side, one to the other side. We're immediately yelling "DROP YOUR WEAPONS!", and they're screaming "I don't know how, I don't know how!". I am assuming they must have came from a body because they were complete newbies at the game. They're both prone, one is getting closer and moving back, another one is flailing like a fish freaked out. We finally make the decision to ice them both at the same time. We killed them both, and left their weapons by the fueltank. They were so confused, and we told them to go get it, but they didn't. We FUBAR'd that helicopter later that day trying to break a fuel tank.

Zombies have blood and a lot of dirt on them. I think it'd be obvious to spot a zombie and player with the same animation if you were looking for it. Maybe when players die, they simply reanimate (not the player).

Well, to be fair, the man had to make a way of getting the Walkers off the fences and he knew the pigs had gotten ill from the food they ate and gave to the people. He had to kill the pigs off anyways. Granted, I think he should have simply killed the pig then tossed him immediately and not leave him to die, he had a decision to make of protecting the people he "rules" and made it. I honestly don't blame him. Wow this was offtopic. I like the idea. I think it can be expanded on a bit more.

From what I've read in the chat, Rocket stated once all the optimizations are merged back in, they will do the test of 50 players on the test server. That should be our "checkpoint" so to speak on when to know the standalone is being released. Here is the pastebin, it's a ways down, but you should find it: http://pastebin.com/8QSXTtPB
