Mushy (DayZ)

Sorry ):

ArmA makes everyones computer cry. It's very CPU intensive. Not very GPU intensive like most of todays games.

You don't have enough RAM to use the program properly. You can put the DayZ files in the RAMdisk, but you won't see a large improvement. Also the issue is in the cpu, not the harddrive, a standard laptop drive should be at 5400rpm, not great, but not enough to cause a massive FPS loss, not to mention the FPS loss wouldn't change much when you enter a town, you might lose 5 more fps as it has to seek textures, but that's it. Unfortunately your options here are limited, you're using a 2 core CPU that isn't very powerful, and you can't really upgrade due to the fact that it's a laptop. You'll just have to do lower your settings as much as possible, and hope that helps. Can probably boost the actual visual settings a bit though, your GPU is fine. No postprocessing, AA, AS filtering, or HDR though.

No, you should not keep the gun. But from what I've seen, you won't be banned. It'll be turned into a makarov. For the sake of fairness, just get rid of it. It's a hacked item, are you really in a position where you need to have an advantage so badly that it has to be hacked in? I don't imagine so, so may as well just do the right thing. I got an As50 TWS, thought it was in the game, and not hacked, so I used it, kept it in my pack. Found out it was hacked in the next day, went online and found 2 makarovs in my backpack. I smiled, and laughed my ass off. Put it like this. Do you think it's fair that you get to keep a hacked weapon?

Speak for yourself, I personally welcome a change that disallows people to pop around the map and respawn wherever.

Looks like your processor is a little older. Are you on a laptop by chance? That's a gen1 i5, correct? Those come in 2core and 4core if I'm not mistaken, and that would probably be your issue. Your video card is fine, so the resolution probably wouldn't effect it much, this is more than likely a CPU issue.

I honestly don't think I'm going to bother attacking the caravan. Why bother smashing myself against a large squad that will inevitably kill me when there's hoards of free ammunition sitting in the sniping spots around it?

Just curious. How many of you still have the old bandit skin, and wear it with pride? I turned down a ghille the other day (To a friend obviously) to keep mine, not entirely sure how many of us there are left.

Keeping this up, I want to hear from people.

Why does your M107 not take up a backpack slot? :/ Mine did so I got rid of it. Don't regret trading it for a DMR, but..That just stings.

Good luck with that whole t3rminalVel0city thing. You'll never find him.

Uh..What? Since when?

Actually it's more like a small business being overrun with roaches and closing it's doors to exterminate them effectively. The server is back up as far as I'm aware.

I recently traded my M107 for a DMR, it takes up 2 slots, and honestly most accurately placed sniper shots should be killshots anyways. The .50 cal is more for e peen than anything. It roars like a lion and hits like a fucking tank though. Also great for killing someone on the other side of a building, since it..Y'know. Pretty much blows a hole through anything. DMR is great due to variable zoom, M24 is my favourite sniper rifle, and I prefer bolt actions, but the DMR is just more viable, 2 shots over 1 incase of that tiny chance that it doesn't kill in the upper body region, also the ammo for DMR is EVERYWHERE, whereas I've only found a few M24 mags. Didn't use it for long regardless. CZ550 is great for your first rifle, and it's a fantastic rifle allaround, it has it's flaws, but it's easy to find and ammo a plenty, so no complaints here. It gets outclassed at longer ranges, and doesn't hit quite as hard as the others.

My group uses brevity and we operate as a small fireteam using knowledge from previous milsim experience, but we simply don't have the numbers to go the whole 9. I'd be interested in anyone who does, however.

Movin, don't be a cock. This is over a fucking video game. Though I disagree with his actions, he's acting a fuckton more mature than you are right now. Personal info stays out of here. I don't speak for the mods, but I have no doubt that they'd say the same thing and tell you you're asking for a ban if you do something that blatantly stupid.

So you purchased a CD key to not play. Even though your original CD key is perfectly fine with the exception of DayZ. Just because you had a last second change of heart, doesn't change the fact that you did purchase a second CD key with the intent of using it to evade a ban, and stated that was your intent quite clearly. Now that you got another slap on the wrist, you turn coat to make yourself look good. The same thing you did last night, it's not fooling anyone. You know, honestly, if you don't get banned. Whatever. Doesn't bother me. I don't have anything against you personally. But you've been acting like a cock. Not in the allowable "kill everyone" way. In the "Abuse a cheat, plan to evade bans, overall just try and do whatever you want" way. And if you honestly think that's fine and dandy, then you're really setting a worse example for your stream viewers than you know. It's tough medicine, but you're not going to get much sympathy from a community that is pretty unanimously against you right now.

So now he's allegedly been CD key banned, so he bought another one? Is ban evasion allowed? Watching the stream, that's what it looks like he's doing.

It is not a secret' date=' most players just show good enough judgement, NOT TO SEEK IT OUT and if they by accident find themselves there (like I did once), they GTFO. Since you know...most people are good people. Point being: He didn't stumble across the debug forest by accident, he sought it out to abuse. And he didn't seek it out to report bugs, he sought it out for self-enjoyment. And I dunno if he deserves a permaban, But I do know that I would 100% NEVER WANT TO PLAY ON THE SAME SERVER AS HIM. And if he has to pay 15-30$ to play the game again, I am pretty sure he would not abuse bugs again (he might even report them), hell he would hopefully even stop cheating/exploiting in other games too, since he now knows there is actual punishment for it and that permanban is not something that only happens to other people. Lastly, since you show up on his mumble list....Dude you got nothing to say. You are friend with a dick, don't try to defend him. A dick is a dick, even if he is a friend. (BTW he is more than a "dick", I just felt like being nice) Sorry for piling on a thread, that the devs would hopefully rather let die quietly. [/quote'] Honestly, if they wanted to let it die quietly, I think they'd lock it (Though I think a lock is impending regardless) it's an issue a lot of people are frustrated about, and a decision is going to be made regardless of player opinion, so what else are forums for except to make opinions clear and see multiple sides of the argument. A lot of his supporters seem to think it's not such a big deal he did this, and I honestly can't conceive how. He intentionally abused an exploit, by his own admission, and now it shows up he's done it twice? His excuse to the admin in his twitch.tv stream last night was that he was tired, and cranky about losing all of his items to a glitch *Which at the time he was getting angry at 'stream snipers' for killing him, and taking his gear. Something doesn't add up here. How does anyone honestly think this excuses anything? Even the fact that he streams. There are other streamers. Ones that don't exploit. People will move on. All he did last night was brag about how he's convinced x ammount of people to buy the game, and he shouldn't get banned, and then said, quote 'if I get banned, permanent or not. I'm probably not coming back. Not meant to be a threat, just telling you guys' It's obvious that the guy is trying to weasel his way out of any punishment, and I think that alone makes me pity him that much less. tl;dr: Whiskey is the type of player I feel is the problem with the community, that said, he's got as much of a right to be here as everyone else, and as much accountability for his actions as everyone else, if not moreso due to his influence over hundreds of viewers. Admins will do what admins do, regardless of what we say at this point.

I still don't get why people keep saying they aren't going to be punished for exploiting. We don't give preferential treatment to streamers, no one said bans would not be given out, only that they would not be permanent. That end part I disagree with. You did say IF he was banned, and it's a commonly known fact that Bashur gets special treatment for his RP server. They're allowed to lock it whenever they want, it was locked for a good portion of the day for 'filming a show'. When, if I recall clearly, according to this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6341 it's pretty unanimously decided that even for recording purposes, admins are just players and have no right to ban players for playing, let alone lock their servers. This, even in the 'passworded server thread' was again, unanimously decided that Bashur is a streamer, so he's allowed. This kind of thing is getting slightly irritating. I thought it was all rad and badass when Rocket and Adam came and played with us while we were streaming, but some of the stuff people are starting to get away with is leading the belief that streamers do whatever they want, and get a slap on the wrist at best. Make no mistake, I don't think Whisky should be perma banned, my argument goes more towards the mentality that is being thrown out with things like this. Edit: Doktor brought up a very valid point. Streamers are the role models. They play infront of hundreds of people, they're sure as hell supposed to set a good example. The weight on them is a lot higher than the weight on a standard player, though they should still be judged to the same standards.

That's not going to happen. I'm the one that is primarily stuck with finding cheaters' date=' banning them. People doing this makes a EVEN bigger mess for me. I'm sick of it. As I stated in the announcement, people are going to start receiving bans for it. I don't care if they PAY me not to ban them, they're getting banned because again, i'm the one cleaning this shit up. I have a LOT of things to do and I don't need to be cleaning this type of crap up and seeing it plastered all over the forums. They can take their week ban and deal with it or they can go cry to Dean 'Rocket' and he can say otherwise but even HE has a lot of stuff to do and creating a method to fix this is time consuming on his end when there are bigger bugs out there to fix. These bans are to get people to stop doing this. Period. [/quote'] Right the fuck on. It was starting to look like streamers were getting massive special treatment. I was pretty pissed with Whiskeyfive as a person, but I wasn't so pissy about the exploit until he admitted he did it willingly. I thought he just wandered in accidentally before. And somehow the dev still said he shouldn't be banned. I hate that this looks like it's going to become an 'example making' but thank god streamers don't get away with exploiting just because they bring in players.
