I can't wait for you kids to go back to school.

I'm happy to see this is a men's club and not a boys' club.

The military was killed by Bandits. No matter how many Bandits the military was able to kill, they just kept spawning over and over. Military positions were overrun simply by force of numbers.

How long it took you to find an Enfield? I woul guess 10 minutes, otherwise you're wasting serious time.

So you're saying that the problem would be negated if everyone joined one of the most divisive and violent sects in all history? I'm skeptical.

You're taking this thread, and players' actions in this game, a little too seriously. You should realize that this is about fun and escapism, not a reflection of somone's most perverted desires. A large number of DayZ players have reached the point where they would rather let loose and screw around than take 'surviving' seriously.

You'll wise up to the true nature of DayZ soon enough.

Another player and I were running along the coast West towards Cherno. He calls out on chat "you friendly?" I tell him "yeah until I find a weapon." he says not if he gets one first. We both run into the Cherno construction site, me slightly in the lead, and there's a hatchet on the ground. I beat him to it by just a few steps. I wield it, he turns to run, I'm a few steps behind him now. He takes a turn down a hallway blocked by razor wire. He tries to vault it. I hack away at him, splitting bones. He goes down on the other side of the wire. He crawls away desperately as I try to vault. I finally get over. Scream "told you I wasn't friendly, bitch!" as I bludgeon his head and torso. Justin was killed

It would not make sense from a long-term approach to use the ARMA2 engine. Using ARMA3 will give the game a lasting appeal with up-to-date graphics and physics. Also, I honestly feel that an ARMA2 approach will cause consumers to feel cheated, and stunt sales. ARMA3 will give it that brand new game feeling.

I've seen a few posts saying things to the tune of "I was hiding somewhere, shot at someone, they DC'd and server hopped around me and killed me." Are some of you people honestly that thick? Simply reposition quickly, and when he comes looking for you at your last known spot you shoot him in the back. You have every advantage in that situation. He has a predisposition to assuming you are where you were, he has no idea where you might now be, and he has to come looking for you, which means movement and being spotted easily, while you are secreted in a dark corner waiting for him. I know that DC'ers are shitty assholes, but you have to be proactive about the problems in the game.

Oh. Well, a fine first attempt at humor. Keep trying, practice makes perfect and so on.

No you don't DC because then you blow your advantage. Just move a hundred meters or so and be patient.

Yes it is. If you use it you'll get banned.

Agreed. Online gaming always goes to hell during summer vacation.

EDIT - Read the entire post you dildos. 90% of the people in this thread just read the title and then went full retard on the comments. Fucking children, I tell you. This seems like a tragically noob question, but how do I do it? When I try, the squad commands menu pops up and the game doesn't close. Do I have to be playing the game in windowed mode or something? Now I know some of you are jumping to conclusions based on the thread title, but hear me out. I got killed this morning by some invisible high-voice hacking d-bag. I could hear him shooting right next to me, I could see the puffs of smoke from his gun, but he was invisible and pissing himself with laughter on the mic. Now I'm completely against combat DC, but I'm even more against giving any kind of satisfaction to these little hack kiddies. I could have gotten away Scott Free with an alt+F4 , and I was too busy zig-zagging to esc-abort. However, he finally plugged me with his 1911 and I lost a promising start. Help.

Could have been a satchel charge, or some other manner of hacked in explosive.

Killing unarmed might not be fair, but it very well could be a life saving measure. Especially in high loot areas like Cherno, that unarmed player could pick up an Enfield and suddenly that helpless victim is now a cannon-wielding ass kicker and you have a problem on your hands. Better to snuff them out early, finish your business in town and move on.

That's not an accurate stat though. A vast number of those are going to be guys who DC'd and bled out during reconnect, suicides, glitches, hacks, and so on. I'd put PvP at the top of "legitimate" deaths.

PvP is the lifeblood of this game. The PvE is very weak at the moment, zombies are a pushover, loot is plentiful enough to pose no real challenge in its acquisition. I urge you to give PvP a real try, it's great fun.

Good.

Fair point, but as other people are saying, Alt+F4 doesn't even work anymore, so moot point right? Hackers gonna hack, DC'ers gonna DC, honest players gonna play honest. However, as honest players, if and when we meet a hacker, I see no reason why we shouldn't all know how to DC quickly. It's our only line of defense against the cancer. Be it invisible players, teleportation, wall hacks, A-10's, etc., we bear no fair-play requirement to stay and get murdered for these kids to get their rocks off being little shits.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the actual real helpful information instead of just being a useless asshole like some of the other idiots here. Appreciated.

Isn't it magnificent? When the milky way stretches from one end of the sky to the other? One of the greatest views of all time.

Some servers are just loot broken. They spawn no loot anywhere. It happens.
