jdz (DayZ)

Zzzzz, this 'Tyrone' guy logged out when my friends shot at him again. This is the second time it has happened now :rolleyes: What's the point in playing a survival game if you want it to be a bitch about it?!

I leave at night time purely because its so ridiculously easy to exploit, not to forget about the desync issues regarding 'night time' There's been many times I've been playing at around 7pm ingame and its bright as day for myself but pitch black for others and then there's gamma goggles and other ways to make your game brighter...

This isn't an RPG

What? It does something like 850 damage per shot... A friend got shot with one a while back from 100m and it didn't even make him bleed, good luck getting a kill on anything but a rabbit.

It is not 'easy' at all. Cool video but you need to slap the shit outta your teammates for not shutting up and talking about pointless stuff when you're in a tight situation ><

So let me get this straight, you knew it was hacked in but still decided to use it? You are just as bad as the people hacking stuff in.

M14, it is just so versatile for PVP. Shit for zombies because it is so loud but for PVP, it is an amazing all rounder. For zombies and players though, I would say an M4A3. Not to loud but decent for CQB

I travel to the NWAF all the time, I NEVER see anyone else there. There's no point when you can get better gear from heli crashes... This needs to be changed, the chopper crash loot and barracks loot should be the other way around. But in all honesty, the NEAF has been full of action lately. People think its safer than the NWAF so they all go there instead. In the last 1.5 months I must've bumped in to people at the NEAF at least 5-6 times and only 1 time I come out second best and that is when my UAZ full of high tier weapons got stolen

It is only easy if you're on a noob server with nameplates or on a public hive with ridiculous amounts of duped rangefinders ;) Range finding with mildots is a skill, especially on prone targets

Had a fly around in a helicopter or two yesterday but couldn't find these two camps :( Out of curiosity, how do these weapon spawns work? Do we need to download anything? Edit - How about removing the M107 and adding the VSKS in to a barracks only spawn?

Yup, you and Tyrone. Well now you know I guess :) It was originally only 1 person shooting at you but my friend said you logged out when he shot at you guys so set up an ambush for when you logged back in. Lesson learnt I presume ;)

Hey guys, a friend of mine has managed to get a private hive set up. We're currently running off donations and have very limited international traffic but we'd love more New Zealanders to join. There's the obvious basic rules such as No disconnecting to avoid death from players or zombies No hacking or use of 3rd party scripts, these include spawning items in,map hacks, god mode and teleporting. No intentional exploiting such as - Changing a used ammo mag/clip into a different ammo type then back into the original ammo type (Fixed?) - Droping your backpack then changing skins with the intent to dupe the backpack. - Logging out to get rid of zombie aggro. - Using hacked in weapons. - Putting near empty clips/mags in the backpack upon log out (refils the mag/clip back to full). - Any form of duping and if you do happen to accidently, do the moral thing and dispose of it. - Your name in Mumble must be the same as ingame - Be in Mumble, you can mute this. Consequences of these rules are warning and then bans. If anyone would be keen to play then feel free to send me a PM and ask for the details

Right, we had a few issues regarding the internet connection to the server but they have been sorted and the server will be up fulltime from now on! There has been a database reset but it should be 100x more stable now, sorry for any inconvenience!

Lol... Just go and play my little pony, it'll be more exciting.

I know it's not balanced and its not intended to be but in many cases, people get the choppers and raid all of the camps and steal all of the vehicles on the map and take them away. They don't add nearly as much to the game as they take away. Like the way vegitation renders from the air, it's practically transperant. Not to mention the fact you can find all of the helicopter crashes on the map in under 20 minutes of a restart, the ability to parachute into places is ridiculous and once you've got a helicopter everything becomes waaaay to easy and there's nothing left to do. Once again, they take away much more than they add to the game

Dick move. There is absolutely no need for 6 helicopters, at all. In my opinion, helicopters need to be removed. We have removed them from our server, they're far to powerful of a tool and completely defeat what little balance DayZ has

Can vouch for these guys, they're great. We had 2 guys log out from zombie agro and when we fired on them so we camped the area and nailed them when they logged back in. We then told the admins and they called them out over global chat and gave them a warning _b A friend of mine did kill a guy the other day, shot him out of a helicopter and he had NVGs, range finder, coyote pack and even a radio and his uniform had a red beret :/ thought this was kinda strange, especially the radio

I merely answered your question and added in some extra info to further help you out, no need to be a dick about it :/

7.62 damage is pretty fucked, imo. It should knock people down in 1 shot but it doesn't, whatever. Maximum effective range though... I would say 600m and I say this for a few reasons and I will state them. #1 It doesn't have zeroing, unzoomed it is zero'd for 300m and zoomed it is zero'd for 400m #2 To hit shots over 400m you have to use the mildots which can be very inaccurate and awkward to use #3 As stated, the 7.62 damage is very unrealistic and I constantly see people running away from a 7.62 shot to the chest, happened to me just 1 hour ago. It is more of a marksman rifle than a sniper rifle. If you want to snipe properly in this game, you really need to use a .50 cal which really sucks, I am not a fan of them and think DayZ loot spawns need a giant overhaul. The reason I say the .50cals are the only real way to go is because of alt+f4ers. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've hit someone and they've disconnected! Sure, it's my fault for not hitting them in the head but this can be extremely hard at times, especially when you're range finding off mildots. In my opinion, the M24 is a lot better if you're a good shot and know how to use the thing

I buried two bodies yesterday. We saw the fuckers disconnect to lose agro and they also disconnected when a friend shot at them. It was a private hive so we camped the area and waited for them to log back in. Sure enough, they did. Nailed one with my M14 and another guy sniped the other

You can push them out with other vehicles. Pushed a helicopter out of some trees and a hangar before

M14 and an M4? M4 can be used on zombies as its not to loud but the M14 is really, really, really good for players. Both are easily found as well

Sacriel and Oshiseven are 2 greats but I've also watched a lot of Ngotie and Jackfrags lately and they're awesome. Jackfrags put one on YouTube the other day and it is probably the most exciting DayZ video I've ever seen

A buddy of mine is working on a private hive. The only .50 cal available will be a VSKS and all of the high tier gear you'd usually find on crashed choppers is only available at the barracks. Chopper crashes will only spawn things like M24s, SVDs and assault rifles with various optics. The way DayZ should've been to begin with _b

There is no solution! DayZ is all risk vs reward! Want good gear? Ok, find helicopter crashes, visit the barracks and kill people. Want to survive? You get a hatchet and hit the woods. It is as simple as that
