dang! i need to get me in one of these games :D

aah ok, good :)

no offense intended at all here, but i don't think recording is your computer's forté.

i really hope not. if they make the game well enough then it shouldnt come to that. i think the reason for the deathmatch that most servers have become is the almost 99% banditry rate in recent times. people see all these youtube videos of bandits going around and killing everyone and think HURR DURR IMA DO THAT and then they just go and KoS everyone they see. if the standalone promotes teamwork as a means of survival then it will work so much better than the mod, because it will be in peoples best interests to work together, rather than just go to cherno or elektro and deathmatch it up.

it just seems to me that the snipers are by far the best weapons in the game, they are by a mile the best at long range, and even at short range are more effective than a shotgun. they just render all other weapons completely obsolete. not to mention the utter ridiculousness that is the AS50. really hoping its not in the standalone.

i used to have the same problem, my laptop was getting in the 80C area so i bought a cooling mat, and turn it on whenever i play dayZ, and its fine now. apparently external cooling fans will work better than mats, but i've been using a mat for a while and not had any problems. hope this helps! :D

i thought it was pretty cool, id like to see something like this implemented because atm the shotguns feel like pea shooters lol

i think the dream endgame that everyone has is a working safe zone that people can 100% trust each other in. though that is likely to never ever happen, as players would need to co-operate 100% and the trust in random strangers has all gone from the mod. it's a vicious cycle: you go in thinking 'i am gonna be a good guy' and you get killed and betrayed by a load of assholes. you get annoyed, and think, 'fuck it, ill kill the next guy i see' and you become the asshole. its almost an inevitable fate. even bloody ghandi would have a hard time staying friendly forever in this game. although if there was a working safe zone i would be 100% dedicated to keeping the peace

how on earth can a server be PVP, RP, AND FRIENDLY? lol

i hate it when people put stuff like this on the forums. you think we all have money spewing out of every orifice? no. some of us have to work for a living, some of us simply can afford to fork out £500-£1000 on a new machine. stop putting these bullshit comments as they dont help anyone.in regards to the OP, either its your CPU not having the legs for it, or its just dayZ being dayZ. hope you can find a fix :)

we weren't asking for your help, i know that you can do nothing because it's a private hive server. Don't patronise me like that lol. the reason i made a thread is because i just wanted some recognition for how much of an asshole this particular admin was. i don't wanna get unbanned from their crappy server, i just want to let other people know to not go to it.

yeah, haha it seems either you guys don't know that this particular admin is an idiot 12 year old, or you're just as stupid as he is. i'm sure anyone who reads this thread will know who to believe.

can't believe the admins are defending this guy. his name was [sS]MadZ and he was a bloody idiot. Don't visit their server, it's clearly a pile of shit.

Hey all, couldnt find the official server forum (if there even is one) for this server so this is the only place i could think to post. So i was just walking around minding my own business when i see someone get admin banned. No biggie, happens alot. Then a guy in the chat says 'Why did you ban him? all he did was kill you with a machete'. The admin replied with 'fuck off you ass whole' (actual words used). he then bans the guy who was complaining to him, labelling him as a twat (among other things) and because i was sticking up for the guy getting banned, the admin banned me too. the reason was, and i quote again: 'dont get involved in things that dont concern you prick'. I just wanna see this guy get banned and have my (and all the other poor souls this idiot has banned) ban revoked. The server was the UKSS 'survivor's sanctuary, and the only admin i could find online was one named '[sS]MadZ' don't really know how posting here will help, but i felt i needed to do something about it.

whoops haha i just posted a topic about the exact same event xD i got banned aswell as mattias and another guy.

it could be the temperature, i had a similar problem a while ago on my laptop and found that it was getting extremely hot while playing dayZ. there are programs to download that tell you your pc/laptops temperatures etc. that may tell you the source of your problem. you if it's not that, then there's a huge variety of things it could be.

hey, after seeing the new devblog today, i realised that they are expanding chernogorsk to even further than what it is now, and personally i think that cherno and elektro are two factors that really break this game. i only ever go to cherno or elektro, because that's where everyone goes. no one is around anywhere else, apart from maybe stary or NW, but if you wanna go there you need a car or some serious patience :P. anyway, i'm crap at putting points across, what i'm trying to say is that i think the game would benefit from the removal (or downscaling) of cherno and elektro. There's no sense of exploration or survival in dayZ atm because everyone just goes to cherno or elektro to deathmatch. there's nothing else to do. without cherno and elektro, players would be spread out all over the map, and because stary and NW are far away from the coast there would be an adventure if you're trying to get to them, if you do want to fight people. there wouldn't anywhere near as much deathmatching. and i know deathmatching is commonly liked among players because of the lack of thought and creativity. but that's not what dayZ should be in my opinion. tl;dr, remove cherno and elektro to promote exploration and more randomness of events and enounters. constructive comments only please :)

that would be so good! haha what an awesome idea :D

you really didn't get the point of this topic. no one cares about you having low humanity, all it shows is that you are just another KoS knobhead.

there is almost no community, everyone just shoots each other on sight. it's a shame really

if rocket already talked about it, then consider this thread closed as it no longer has any point.

hey all, so while watching the latest devblog i spotted that at around 4:38, Matt writes in the chat ''who is in the new urban area north of cherno''. i don't know if this has been spotted before or if it is anything new, but i haven't heard of any 'new urban areas north of cherno' before, so i thought i'd share this. Edited : Bb as i say it was around 4:38 during the video.

yeah that's fine. i was just telling the guy that the idea of tracking someone for three days is not possible. seeing some dead zombies in a town and concluding that there is a guy nearby is not what i was on about :P

so you just look around extremely large areas, finding used fireplaces etc. how on earth do you know that you're tracking someone? how do you know they're online at the same time as you? the idea of tracking in this game just doesnt make sense to me. it doesnt seem plausible or practical.

if bandits got some sort of advantage then they would be even more plentiful than they are now. there would be even less point in trying to help people. and dayZ would become even more of a deathmatch simulator.
