all this time you've been playing with deaf infected, thats now fixed, welcome to the pain, what you need is new strats not tears..for instance, when looting Stary? bring all the infected down to the big long barn south of the tents and draw them all into by firing a couple of shots, then leg it out the other door, now you have time to get up and recky the medic tents.. firing a gun in a town is asking for trouble.. as it should be..

my tip would be to conceal yourself and ingage first of all by typing in DC, if you can get a conversation going that way and you assess them to be sound enough, then and only then use your mic to talk some more as now they can locate you by the sound of your voice. only ever talk in direct chat when you know the odds are stacked in your favour. running up to people shouting "friendly" isn't really the way to do it..

i've been beta testing the patch for weeks, Z's now really are a consideration rather than an annoyance, you can get trapped really quickly and killed by the horde.. horror!! imagine that in the apocolypse? carefull opening tins of drink & eating would be my tip.. Also what hasn't really been stressed is is that Z's hearing now works properly too..

its pretty simple, red good, blue bad, pink flashing? you need to sort it out and get warm..

This! wanna have great fun? do 1 v 1 with a friend on an empty server in Electro, only wounding shots (unless on private hive where one of you has admin rights and can respawn you in elektro)- after a person is injured you must help get them back to full blood then give them a couple of minutes to relocate, 1 point for a hit, minus 5 if killed by the horde.. ps play at night! no camping..

no, my friend it's you who isn't getting it, there is no guarantee that you're going to have a "vanilla" experience on a private hive. It can run whatever it wants, play on public hive servers for the vanilla experience as it will be uniform. At the end of the day its Skiddes that are breaking up the community, by and large people don't want to play with them or on the shit stained servers they pollute..

exactly, its a private hive, if you don't like it find another server. simples.

The private hive is running a modded version of Chernarus, funnily enough i'd a similar experience yesterday, first of all I was like, wtf a firehouse in Berezino then on hitting N.E.A.F. all the barricks were there between Inustrial and the main hanger too. I think there is also a forrest south of the N.E.A.F that isn't in the public HIVE. I suppose it just comes down to the modability of the games engine..

play at night on dark servers with them before they are no longer an obstacle to you, trust me, eventually they become zero craic when you have them mastered..

the only thing limiting you is your imagination tbh.. you have the equipment of an end of level boss, so go off and be one? stop hiding? go back to the coast? what lies beneath the wookie suit? bandit? hero? - there is no score in this game, at the end of the day it's all about social interaction and having the balls to engage other players other than camping half a mile away and shooting them with your as50.. imho.. try building a camp fire and inviting a few randoms round it and sit for 5 mins for a chat, see what their up too & if you can help them.. course if you're a socially inept moron, looking for some validation through a "score" this might be a difficult concept to get your head around..

could always try reading the readme_FXAA file in the your beta folder?

Lost Huey, little bird and off road jeep, took nearly all day to fix up an ATV.. drove through electro and Cherno with the bean warz raging, have got as far as green mountain looking for jeep respawn, all in all pretty shit day, thanks for asking!

in fairness anyone who hasn't run round electro / or cherno at night, with it lit mainly by flares and loads of Z's spawned have missed one of the truly great horror experiences of Dayz, particularly when you get hemed in by Z's and the light slowly fades!!

tents are essential. i've managed to keep them going on busy servers all the time for ages, lost a good one last night which had a m4 acog innit which i was looking forward to using again and a few other tasty goods, but, cest la vie! non?

yeah, i'd recommend 108 Roderz.. it starts getting bright usually around 7pm GMT, if you play earlier it's always a full moon so the server is bright enough to move around without NVG's, it has its fair share of assholes & faces the same challenges all public hive servers do, but, I don't play anywhere else unless its completely dead, this last while it's been busy most nights there was around 50 on last night for most of the evening so gun fire could be heard ringing out all over the shop, sounded like there was a war going on..

Today for our mission, we decided to try and help players stop killing themselves because of a bad spawn on UK 108. Filled up a couple of alice packs with loads of loot from shops, placed a tent at "Suicide" lighthouse between Kamenka & kamarovo, stuck in it 10 maps, a load of water botttles, medical supplies, a few hatchets, etc etc.. came back a few hours later and there were 4 bodies dead around the tent - which was pretty much cleared apart from 5 maps! so looted all the dead bodies back into the tent for others to find.. Back, to the drawing board.

Yeah UK108 gets my vote, I play on it all the time, though you really shouldn't get attached to your gear as wankers usually turn up like flies to shite as soon as more than twenty are on the server, though the recent addition of Gotcha to the server has greatly improved the situation to how it was recently. Last night someone pretty much emptied the server with this [see image]. I told the others it was probably just bullshit and played on, but we went from around 48 players to 7.

on the subjct of backpacks, could we not have a simple permission system, a simple y/n to alow other players access to them - if they are on the back of a living person? same for cars with a driver sitting in their seat? k thx bye..

Hey could any of you community Dev whizzes get the torch to work on the M4A1 Holo like it does on the M4A3 CCO? pretty please? sugar on top, best christmas prezzie eva please? . i've been playing this game for ages and i've only just found one for the first time. * *sty if posted before, I did try to search, honest..

why the fuck won't fires warm me up in Namalsk? i've now got sick twice, because apparently sitting ontop of a fucking fire doesn't warm you up..

wow, well i'm glad you really enjoyed scenario one Heiduk, but it just sounds like an awful fucking unnecessary grind of shitness for two hours imo, as someone else stated earlier, they should not extend beyond the visual range of a player and should be line of sight, job would be a good un..

Oh well, I guess when I lose it, thats fair enough. If they are taken out completely in 1.7.5 I expect it to be replaced by which ever variant they intend to use replacing it in my backpack, until then it's my go to gun for hunting..

My TrackIR has been lying gathering dust for years, I now just use the left alt and mouse to move my head ingame now, works perfectly imho..

hope they are, tbh I think they were a great idea that was poorly implemented, they just need to be line of sight, as in if there is any obstruction between the viewer and the peripheral dot, say like a tree, wall etc etc, then they should not show..
