Hi, strange things started to happen. First, at the right bottom corner, white messages(as when you log in) started to appear. They said something like Gocha antihack, ban ...player... Can´t remember it well. Then, I heared an explosion, a huge explosion, like if a car had exploded very close to me. I didn't see any car. And then I heared another explosion, maybe a thunder, and an unreal fog suddenly appeared. I hadn´t ever seen this kind of fog. It was very dense, and I could see in a radius about 20 meters or so. I continued playing. The fog appeared and disappeared, until it seemed to go. And then, while I was being chased by zeds, I realised I had the DMR equiped(I had one in my backpack but I was not using it.) But I saw I also had a coyote backpack, a M9SD, which I didn´t had before. I thought it was a bug, because in my previous game I had had that exact equipment. But then, after some second, this message appeared: Press F11 to teleport. (I obviously didn't press it.) And then this one:(Don´t know the exact text but it was something like this): Objectives adquired, press F11 to see them. (My curiosity made me press F11) And I saw a menu that said: -Create vehicle -Teleport. And something else. I immediately left the server. I was playing in DE 3981. On Chernarus public Hive. I have some part(I think until the new equipment appeared) recorded in a video. Thank you. ----- Update: Please, now I really need help. I cannot connect to any server. The last server has given me this message:

Yeah, never again.

Okay, the problem seems to be solved now. I have all my previous gear and all servers seem to work okay. Thank you.

WTF, I have joined correctly to a server! DE 3895. And I had my previous gear! I think it has been fixed?

I have tried joining another server, but, at the lobby, my name was marked gray in a black background and I cannot click accept to join the game.

Ah, okay, I will try to connect to another server, but I have tried 2 mora apart from that...

Can a moderator please move this to the proper section, now it is really a problem. I don´t know if I can trust that URL and I cannot enter any server. I have a video recorded, I don´t know exactly when did it stop recording(I usually record untione of the HDs is full), but some part should have been recorded.

Noone knows?

Can someone explain me what to use with the format .xtor Xtory creates? VLC can´t reproduce it, I have tried using avidemux, but doesn't seem to recognize the file. Thank you.

You can have my beans. I´m not really an expert in this area. Your explanations seem to be solid. But anyway I think weapons should have more realism, I have never been shot, but the pain of three bullets should not allow you to run...I think.

You remember terribly wrong. I don't know the exact amount, but three or four M4 bullet(to the chest) don 't kill neither incapacitate the player.

I´ll try them out, thank you.

Well, Don´t you think weapon damage is a bit unrealist for a game that is supposed to be realistic? I think you all have been in the situation to be in danger, due to someone who you shot first attacked you with a more powerfull weapon, which is not very realistic...

People like the game to be realistic, but most of them don´t want a realistic weapon damage system. It is ridiculous that a single shot from any weapon doesn´t with a 99 percent of probability incapacitate you, at least temporarily. This is how I see it: (Considering that in standalone fire weapons are going to be rare.) Also consider what rocket has stated about a new medical and injuries system. -You are shot on a leg, then you partially/totally fall depending on your speed when you were shot, and to the left if it was the left leg. Then, depending on the damage (I´m sure Rocket is going to make an awesome damage system.), then you walk/run slower or even very slowly if one of your legs is severely damaged. If both of your legs are severely damaged then you are forced to the prone position. -If shot on the arm, then your weapon falls off and you are able pick it up and use it with your other hand(depending on the weight of the weapon). Obviously, if shot on both arms you are not able to use a weapon.(Maybe depending of the damage?) -A shot to the upper body should(depending of the distance, bullet type and part of the upper body) make you fall back or at least incapacitate you for one or two seconds. I repeat, it is ridiculous that someone who first shots an enemy at close combat doesn´t, in the 99 percent of the situations, win the battle. This post doesn't intend to focus on the medical system itself, but to increase the reality of the weapon damage system. I think that people who, like me, play Dayz and love Dayz for what it is, and for what it can be, doesn't want the weapon model to be dumbed down. I will suggest it in the proper section.

Yeah, it is a simple suggestion. But I think it can only improve the system. The system, as it is now, is a very good solution to a problem we all know, and my suggestion is: To completely delete the indicator, so that you don´t know whether you are in combat or not. Substitute it with a message that appears only when you try to manually disconnect while in combat. With this simple change, we won´t alert a dangerous player when we use our silenced M9 near him and immersion will be enhanced. Yeah, but people can always "try" to disconnect with the intention to know whether they are in combat or not. Well, yeah, but in case they are not in combat they will indeed disconnect, forcing them to connect again with the corresponding loading time. The system could also force the game to close when you click on exit and that will result in a longer time spent to reconnect, not to mention the vulnerability when you are at "Setup completed, please wait". Thank you.

Well, let´s keep this thread up so that the devs can see it.

Chernarus. It's... my Chernarus. I've grown in Chernarus, I have tried other maps but...Did mention that the best one is Chernarus?

Ah, okay, thanks for the info. Yeah, it´s a bit confusing... They are testing the system anyway, so I´m sure they´ll improve it. For me, sounded a bit redundant changing the In combat/Not in combat text for an icon. That´s why I complained.

Isn´t it 70 meters? I thought they were 70 meters radius from the one who shoots and then 8 meters radius from the place where the bullet hits... ¿8 meters? That´s what is now ridiculous

Ridiculous. An icon that tells you whether there are players nearby and that breaks immersion. This is a lot better, and not difficult to do.

Seriously, I have met a lot of people who were friendly. And this is true. People who have disarmed me and then let me pick up my weapon, forming with them a company for helping even more people, complete bambis who I have helped to get weapons and then have correspond me defending me, completely armed guys that didn´t kill me(even when I was also armed) and people I have met, tell him not to move and after a while they have come with me. Not only that, the best adventure I have ever lived was a week ago. I was reaching the tents(near to the balota airport) when I heard shots. I carefully started getting close to the camp, but I couldn´t see him. Suddenly, I heard a scream, the typical scream when a zed knocks you unconscious... I saw two zombies eating a corpse, I started running to help him, but when I reached his corpse, he was dead. But suddenly, I heard another scream, and I realised he was not dead! I killed the two zeds eating his body with my M4 CCO SD and the ones that were nearby, I bandaged him. He was no longer bleading. I had no epi pen, so I waited till he was awake again. I told him not to turn towards me and if he needed something. He thanked me for being saved and asked me for some food to recover some blood(I didn´t have blood bags). I gave him four meat steaks, and then abandoned the tents. When I was leaving he told me he was dutch and asked me where I was from. I told him that I was from spain. After some minutes, I heard someone who told me to drop all my weapons, and that he had a lee enfield pointing at me. When I told him, okay, don´t shoot me, I´m a good man... He said: Wait, are you from Spain? (He probably recognised my accent) Yes, -I answered-I´m from Spain. And then he replied: You have just saved my friend, bro!!!, thank you for saving him!. And he let me go.

This is a question to heroes, (obviously not to bandits): I have only killed 4 people in DAYZ, and I have played for about 3 months. One of them attacked me and my companion, injuring him severely, he hadn´t seen me, he was at the top of a hill, he had advantage over us. I killed him with my M4 CCO SD... Another one who I killed formed part a little squad who started shooting me. I managed to kill one of them and run to the forests. They both attacked me. But I´m a good guy, and I never kill people unless it´s imperative. The first person I killed in my Dayz life was when I was a newbie. I have never had a military weapon, I was at the top of rog castle with a Lee Enfield and a revolver. Someone entered, he started eating, I could see him, I had a good position and he hadn´t seen me, and he had a cool looking military shotgun... I grabbed my revolver, aimed to his head, and shot him. One bullet. And after a second I started regretting it. I picked up the shotgun, but I can still remember it. I decided not to kill anyone in sight.... But, three weeks ago, I found a friendly hero companion, and we started to help bambis. We found two bambis to help, we weren´t heavy armed, and I was using a makarov to kill zeds. One of the bambis get into my way while I was shooting my makarov trying to get rid of zeds. A bullet hit the head of the bambi, killing him with no possibility of telling him something... So, am I rare or do you also feel bad when you kill people? Even when I kill bad people...

Sorry?

I think it´s better for us to make a single post, but maintain it visible so that people can see the post and tell us their opinion.

Could you show us a video?
