Rage VG

Getting everything the player had worked for up to that point isn't good enough of a reward?

Verify the integrity of the game's cache via steam, let me know the results.

That is what makes a sniper good. You need to predict where you think your enemy is going by their actions and context of the situation (If there are a load of zombies in one direction and they are running from them, assume that they are going directly away from the zombies, or if a bandit just killed a player and is heading towards the body, assume he is going to stop at the body to loot it) and aim for that.

Those suggestions discourage PvP which is a major part of the game. The Bandit skin was DayZ's way of showing who to trust without significantly affecting gameplay.

You don't need to make two threads. I have a guide to installing DayZ in my Global Ban video. Skip to 01:05.

Did you log into the same hive? Character data won't port over between different hives.

I honestly don't but that for a second, but it doesn't matter. We can't unban you, only BattlEye can. Here's a video with info on Global bans.

You dehydrate in 3 hours to make up for the fact you don't dehydrate whilst offline.

I'm Rage everywhere. ;D

I'm not sure. My FPS is at like 10 at BEST on DayZ. I'll almost definitely be in the TeamSpeak if that's allowed, but I doubt I'll be in game, at least for very long. Also, I actually had beans on toast for tea. :]

Ah, back when people still flamed me for my red text. I still use that text over at VG. Always will. Well I edited the post you quoted, so you tell me. ;D

Thanks, I try. ;D I don't know about their AU server, but I had a blast at the opening of their UK server. If my laptop didn't suck, I'd still be playing it right now. On the notion that they are safe and boring, however, I guess I'll have to tell you a little about what happened on the server that I was referring to in the BB thread: Basically, Sula and I were in a bus, Sula driving. The server was pitch black. I went AFK (Nature calls.), come back to hear through TeamSpeak "Rage, get in the driver's seat and get out of there." I said "But you're already driving. By the way, who is sitting over there?" "The person who killed me, and his friend." Well, shit. So I was still in the bus when they killed her and jacked it. We drove for about 20 minutes, then they stopped. They both got out. I quickly moved into the driver's seat and pulled off. Most of the windows were then shot out as I drove off, but they missed me. I managed to drive away, but I had a nagging feeling. There were two people, but only one gun fired. Was the other guy still in the bus? Had I done to him what they had done to me? I tried to look behind me, but the glass behind my seat was cracked, and in addition to the darkness made it impossible to make out if there was anyone behind me. I didn't want to stop. I was a medic, not a fighter. With my terrible frame-rate, he could easily take the bus, or get out and end me. So, driving down a straight road at about 70MPH. I got out of the driver's seat, into the back seat. I looked around, thankfully saw nobody. I got back into the drivers seat just in time to avoid driving into the ocean. I talked to the bandits in TeamSpeak later and we had a good laugh about it. Perhaps not as intense as some moments, but for a medic, I pretty much laid a golden egg in my pants. You'll have to remind me what diamond encrusted fuck you are referring to, however. D:

Today was the first time I played on a whitelisted server. Best DayZ night of my life. Not only were a lot of my friends on it (Such as Sula, Fraggle, etc), but the people I didn't know were incredibly polite (including the ones that tried to kill me). With a small, compact community that a whitelist offers, they were open to discussing future server changes with even the likes of me, who had been in-game for merely an hour, and it makes you feel like your opinion is heard, and matters. Such incredible things are a great deterrant to hacking, as you would be missing out on all of this. I have literally no complaints about Whitelisted servers. This was the server I was on, if you are interested.

Pretty much sums everything up.

The forums are not a blog.

To say we're paying again would imply we paid for it in the first place. I don't remember paying for DayZ.

It's the apocalyptic version of carrying all of your eggs in one basket. If you do and it works out, it'll be much easier and more profitable, but if something goes awry, you're losing more.

Yep. Good thing I'm all ears. :]

There will always be a decent amount of players playing the public hives. Do you really think you are one of the few people with that opinion? LOADS of people prefer public to private. And there's a difference between server variables and forced rules. Increased vehicles is fine, because it doesn't force someone to play in a certain manner, but outruling PvP is a completely different story. Of course, that's up to them, but it's also up to me what I think of them, and whether or not I express it.

I've yet to see a private hive add anything close to any of the proper updates rocket has implemented.

I don't know if you are asking for a rollback because of hackers or asking for a rollback from the hackers.

You need to do that thing you do with words more often. The forums may become enjoyable at one point.

DOH GOD GIVE ME THE STEAK N POTATOES DETAILS. A world with two admins like that is a world I wanna be in.

If you are certain you've never played on a private hive, then I am stumped, I'm afraid. Perhaps someone has used your computer and played whilst you were away?
