Six Launcher is the problem.

There is no attack. It's just with the Steam Summer sale there has been a huge boost in player population, straining the Hive. Same thing as a DDoS, but they aren't being targeted. If everyone on this forum spammed refresh at the same time, it'd be the same effect.

And this is why you should have ran hime over or shot him when you first saw him. I never have this issue because I kill anyone I don't know.

When you're ex-military, it is very frustrating and always will be. Even cops don't seem to know the difference half the time. Talking to one and asked how much ammunition they generally carried for their side-arms and he said 3 clips.... damn near face palmed, it's so damn annoying, but that's because going through basic it is ingrained that it is a Magazine, not a clip.

No, alt-f4ing is a major issue right now. If I am running along the coast and get popped by a mak/winny/enfield and I alt-f4... there is no gear, however, if people are alt-f4ing it's robbing undergeared characters of the loot they rightfully earned AND... it may just start to solve server hopping a bit. Imagine it auto-killing you... you're in the barracks, see someone pop in and you fire a shot, they go to alt-f4 and insta-die. That person will start to question is server hopping worth it (it's really not with crashed helis). Once PvP is sorted out a bit better then you can work on bugs. As far as encouraging cooperation, there really isn't much that can be done fast for that, and it's one of those mechanics that need to be thought out and thoroughly tested before implementing. And for Infected pathing/attacking... there really isn't much that can be done on that, unless Rocket can get Bohemia to put out a patch that changes AI behavior, as it's a engine issue, not DayZ issue.

He said civilian, which means no guns, purely transport. Add in the MH-6J and remove the UH-1H, the little bird can transport 6 people, and is very susceptable to enemy fire, it's the perfect fit. It fills the role of transportation that the Heli was supposed to fill, but it doesn't have 2 death machines on it. To get a kill with it you either have to kamikaze or drop off grounbd troops.

Pro Tip, when you die, don't bother looting anymore buildings after you get a weapon, loot other players, then tend to have exactly what you need, and not tin cans.

Welcome to the South Barracks of the NWA, where that bench has been there since... forever. You V over it, it's that simple, and if you can't do that... just push respawn, you shouldn't be at the NWA.

God I hope you get blacklisted. You ban everyone on your server for a hacking incident? Talk about being immature. Get over it, it happens, it's not a problem exclusive to DayZ, it's a Arma wide problem. It's like viruses on computers. Arma 2 is a Mac and DayZ is windows, they both get viruses, you just get more on Windows because it has a larger base of users, same philosophy here, DayZ tremendously outweighs Vanilla/ACE Arma 2 in terms of users, and you just ban 47 other people on a whim. Your server needs to be blacklisted, you're not admin material.

It is fun, you just don't seem to know how to LoS them. It's getting to the point where I am killing off my character to start over every few days because the initial spawn is so much fun, it's exhilerating.

Yes, it's only the FN FAL PVS, so he is either mistaken or did some bad things.

You're better off respawning... what you have is 30 minutes to grab if you spawn in Cherno or elektro and no one else touched the Fire Houses.

It means, yes, they exist and yes they are legit. http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html - under Barracks it's labelled as "Pipe Bomb".

Welcome to the club friend. It's pointless at this moment in DayZ to try to be friendly, kill everyone you see under the assumption they are hostile, you'll live much, much longer.

So looting a pile of loot is not a intended gameplay mechanic?.... sometimes people on this forum set a all new level of retardation. There is 0 difference between loot cycling and me loot a pile of loot and then coming back 10 minutes later and seeing whats up. The only difference is I drop the loot and don't keep it, and make myself ridiculously vulnerabl;e in the process. I'm pretty sure you call it a exploit because you and your group aren't able to do it, which is sad, it makes you one of those if I can't have it, no one can kids.TL;DR - Loot cycling isn't an exploit.

Did you know Minecraft isn't Free to Play... you have to pay for it. Free to Play = Free to Play, DayZ is going to be aiming for Single Purchase of the game if we continue along the path we are on now..

Just curious how exactly it's a exploit in your eyes. It's people picking up loot, going outside, dropping it, and waiting. Then they do that all over again. It's the same thing that happens when I loot a barn and 30 minutes later you get to the same barn, except it's done as fast as the server respawns loot.Also, there is no loot being hacked in, it's all legitamite loot that the server is spawning in, and the method is fine as well, as it is a form of Meta Gaming.

OP, you missed the friendly bandwagon. Back when Revolvers were starting weapons and there was no bandit transition system the majority of people were nice if you gave a hearty hello over direct. Then the mod got popular and tons of people poured in. Without having mechanics to force friendliness DayZ won't ever go back to what it used to be, it'll always be shoot first ask questions later, unless you don't care about living or dying. Lots of people = more PvP, once MineZ comes out and gets more and more popular the same trend will happen there as well.

There is nothing to fix, you drove like shit and hit a crashed humvee in a civilian vehicle doing over 60 km/h, of course you are going to rip the tire right off, that, and you were driving on the coast, I am surprised you werent shot out of the vehicle in cherno.

There is a way, just type what you see into direct chat as it happens, along with times, then find out who the server owner is and tell them to check the chat logs. I've gotten a few extremely racist people removed from the server that way, I'm waiting for them to complain about it so I can post exactly what they were saying and smile as their tale on innocence crumbles.

Those of us with Managed servers, is this a necessary step, or will our hosting provider take this step for us?

Because the idea of owning something outright is stupid for DayZ. If you say "Well, he has the key to the car, it's his now, no one can take it, just destroy it" then basically vehicles are useless, as they'd have to be hidden extremely far off the map to avoid being spotted and destroyed. You can't have a mechanic that doesn't allow theft, this is DayZ, theft is half the game.

After some experiences today trying to fix a Hilux I might've accidentally hit a tree with and broke (sorry to the 3 blokes who I gunned down, you got too close) it occurred to me, a nice new feature. If you have a toolbox and a working vehicle, you should be able to take the parts out of it, say, the engine and use it on another vehicle. We had a fully repaired tractor next to us, and it was painful not being able to strip the tires and fuel tank out of the tractor and transplant them into the Hilux. When you remove the part, whether it's the Fuel Tank, Engine or Tires, they would come out in the same condition, i.e if you have a Orange Engine, the new vehicle would have an Orange Engine, which is better then red, allowing a whole new dynamic to the game, in my opinion.
