Roads? Roads... We don't need no stinkin' roads!

Okay guys, someone has to know this! I was playing earlier and found myself playing the waiting game with another player up at NEAF and eventually he caved and headed into the barracks. I shot him from the control tower with a single M16 burst and... HE BURST INTO FLAMES! We were both very confused and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the situation, if only for my sanity. Cheers

Yep, a perfect example. It is very strange to see.

I'm just REALLY lazy.

Haha, as long as it's not just me with the magic touch.

Haha, I just fired one burst and he was engulfed in flames, it was weird. We both posted 'WTF' at the same time into chat, it was quite funny.

Who says Macs can't run DayZ? Both the Mac Pro and iMac can smash DayZ with no effort whatsoever.

Needs more Lee Enfield.

I have been having the same problem lately and it came completely out of the blue. The solution for me is run bare-metal Arma II. Join an Arma II lobby. It updates properly. No idea why, it's totally bizarre - I'd manually update BattlEye using the .dll files but it still wouldn't work for me, this is the only method that does.

He's not being a fanboy, he's being realistic - do you even know what a fanboy is? Why would you tell someone to avoid private servers if they are one of the only ways to have a hack free experience? The guy made a retarded post, someone pointed out it was retarded, just as I'm doing with this one - it's a forum, it should be expected.

I read the first two and judging by that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Yes, people take this game far too seriously - even when it's not a 'competitive' game as such like a strategy game or properly balanced FPS.

I understand where administrators are coming from. From what I've encountered since the start of DayZ, a substantial amount of hackers tended to be Russian - although it's unfortunate legitimate players have to suffer. Most servers though only wanting, for example German players, are perfectly fine by me. They are normally administrated by a German admin and they want players that speak the same language, not going to be much sense if they don't speak very good English and it's filled with English speaking players. It's not racism, it's just administrators trying to mitigate damage on their server or play with like-minded people, as harsh as it may seem to some.

What was the point in this post? He asked what players want, he was told what I want - it's the point of the thread. You seem lost.

Getting the stupid circle-jerk over beans out of the way, loads of people, myself included do not like servers likes this. Servers that: A) Have too many vehicles B) Have end-game loot at the start C) Have guns at the start Are all retarded. It defeats the purpose of DayZ when you get everything handed to you from the start, there is literally no point in the game if you already start with weapons and there are so many vehicles, there is no end-game or anything to aspire to whatsoever.

Maps without custom bases and easy to get loot. It's not DayZ.

A general rule of thumb: If people tell you to push buttons, don't push buttons.

Food normally come in tin cans (They look very similar to drinks cans you find) and can be found pretty much everywhere. All spawns can contain food but as the poster above said, the best place is the supermarket. The best food you can get is Cooked Meat, it ends your hunger and also replenishes 800 blood. To get cooked meat you require a few tools: Hunting Knife Hatchet (Or a Wood Pile) Box of Matches If you kill a wild animal such as a cow or a boar you can skin them and gut them using the hunting knife and then take any of the meat that is available. You can then get a pile of wood by either looting it or chopping a tree in the forest. Using a Box of Matches you can light the wood and use it to cook the raw meat - all these items can also be found in the supermarket and it's a good method if you don't want to head into a main city often.

I agree. Something making it worth using but not the complete end of the world if you don't get a high amount. It's substantial enough that, hey you got extra blood, but not good enough that it makes a big difference - 1 blood just seems like quite a waste, especially since this is the only method of obtaining blood on your own.

I like the change but I feel for cooked meat that the range should be shortened due to the process required to obtain the food. Something like 200-800 I could imagine being better but we will have to see how this plays out - as low as 1 blood just seems to be a bit of a waste, you should at least get a minor amount.

Go on a public server.

That's just how it works - an endless game of cat and mouse. Someone makes a hack to bypass BattlEye. BattlEye fix the flaw. Hacker redoes part of the hack to circumvent the new changes. Over and over again.

Come on man, put them in the one thread rather than make a million of them.

He means that it's same as the DayZ Arma II:CO release. There was an interview with Matt Lightfoot the production assistant and he stated that the requirements were to be the same as they are currently. The game itself is a lot lighter than the mod but they are using the freed-up resources to add a lot more features to the game and balance it back out to what it is now.

Bohemia Interactive already sell a physical Chernarus map on their store, they could make a more DayZ themed one, although I like the current one as it stands. Store link: https://store.bistudio.com/chernarus-map-collection/
