I'm not sure if this is a vilayer only issue but our server is the same way. We use the exact same restart timer and we also get the 1 and 1700 restarts as well. People complain to us about the restart abuse but it is out of our hands

If you're looking for a daytime only server try typing in -=Crue=- . Its always daylight there, can't help ya with the zombie issue though and yes the timer sucks butt. Nessesary evil though

I've seen them in hangers at the nwaf and neaf. I've also found them in office buildings but I'm not sure if someone dropped them due to being badly damaged. Keep your soul man, I'm sure there will be a better in game item to trade it for hehe

Wow bfisher that is a pretty impressive list, I think I've only ever seen the mini gun in the arma 2 mod but I did witness a hacker flying a hospital on the taviana mod that shot tanks for missiles. Was the only hacker we never banned from our server due to the sheer audacity and the hour or so of laughs it gave us

As long as the modding community stays away from the same pitfalls and traps they created before like the 1000 vehicle servers and ridiculous starting load outs I'm cool with it. It takes the fun out of surviving if you start with everything you need

I see no part of your story that shouts racist unless you or your friends were running around shouting racial slurs at the guy, I would say no. Bullets give 0 fucks about someone's skin color and if he was that annoying, I would've popped his ass too and I'm African American.... yeah yeah black on black crimes I know. Don't fool yourself African american can be just as racist as any other ethnic group

I'm sorry this is off topic but beans to you MetapoliC for the sig. Nice to see someone else who played Ultima Online. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my first MMO

I don't have a $1000 gaming rig, nowhere close to it but I am not having fps issues on log in, only the desync issues. I even tried standalone on an back up rig I have that uses DDR2 memory with no fps issues

Are the zeds headshot only in experimental or are they making zeds tougher? Please forgive my noob question but I haven't tried experimental build yet

My friend and I did this today, we had both been alive for awhile and were quite well kitted out so we went down to electro for some pvp fun. We both got popped logging into a higher pop server after the first server we were on died out. Good times, had no issues finding new gear after repawning. Was a good day to die

Thank good sir, I needed a good laugh while I'm at work. I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune. Beans to you sir

You know you can crawl to the window or door, stand up and press the vault key and you should be able to step over/into the building. It worked for me last night after I was shot in berezino

Yeah server admins can kick you but they can only do it so much and it can only be for a very small list of reasons, like hacking or racism. Don't quote me on those reasons but I believe those are 2 of the few reasons but like smokedupjoe said it was probably a restart so they didn't lose gear. I believe you get into less trouble for restarts than you do for kicking until people start reporting sketchy stuff like that. Sorry some server admins can be silly like that, kudos on poppin' a cap in his ass for killing your buddy though

No, loading into a building is not an exploit but from what I gathered from the op's story, dude was fully geared loading into a well know area for server hoppers. Good for you OP but we all know when dude spawns on the beach he will just do it all over again. Unfortunately until loot/gear starts to respawn, this type of mentality will continue. I am sick of people claiming the only way to get gear is to server hop. I've been able to get gear, food, water and weapons on a medium and high pop server, you just need to get away from the coast or the highly scavenged areas

Wow, kudos to you guys for taking the time to actually answer the OP instead of screaming alpha. To the OP, be careful out in the world because not everyone is friendly. Avoid running in open areas if at all possible, even the bushes can provide a bit of cover but not against bullets. Always scope out an area you are heading into, especially the military barracks and police stations. If you find yourself at a multistory building with windows, stay low and look inside to see if there is loot spawned in but be careful because people will hide in a looted house but close the doors to make it appear unlooted. I do hope you can enjoy Dayz, it can be frustrating with some bugs/glitches. Just as long as you keep in mind that zeds can be a dangerous annoyance until you have an axe or means to dispatch them and not every player you meet is going to have the best of intentions for you or your acquired gear. That being said have fun and play the game your way, there is no wrong way to do it whether you prefer player interaction or you would rather shoot anyone you perceive to be a threat.

How about we just agree to disagree on this topic. I mean plenty of people in the community and in this thread alone have polorizing views on the topic of KOS. I am of the minority who dislikes the idea of KOSing but I'm also of the mind that it is a nessesary evil of this type of game. There is no wrong way to play Dayz but anytime someone makes the mention for or against it, the whole thread turns into why my play style is right and yours is wrong. I feel that this is a good reason for people who want private hives to actually get them. I know I will be ripped for saying that but then all of the pvpers will claim that you're ruining the vision of dayz. Show me one thread where dean or Bohemia said that PvP is the only way Dayz was intended to be played? Your idea of fun is different from mine, is my idea better that yours? No its just different and besides you pvpers have had how many months/years of fun shooting everything that moves in mod or standalone. Are you that afraid to try something new or different? I'm not, I've been playing your way for a long time now....I feel it sucks Umadbro?

I should have been more specific when I said walk. I could jog if you call it that but my movement speed was impaired. I was energized and hydrated and had the healing/healthy icon. Even with nothing in my hands they had to wait for me to catch up several times. My mates told me I did not limp but I definitely moved at reduced speed. I'm not sure it was a fracture, I just assumed that it was. It could have just been a gouge from the zed that lunged at me. My character did complain a lot about his leg hurting in red text and no icon showed up on the inventory screen

Well I played in the mod fairly early on, now I won't tell you that I was never killed but even the bandits were fairly decent. Yes they would rob you blind and do all sorts of comical things but it wasn't the flat out wild west shoot em up that Dayz has turned into. I am one of those anti-kos people you spoke of, no I am not innocent, no I do not go into every situation thinking if I shout friendly, people will believe me and not shoot. Yes I have killed players, most have been after both parties have reached an impasse. Yes I have killed a few completely geared and unaware player, while it made me feel horrible, they had the supplies I needed, I see that as survival. Yes I am a hypocrite in that reguard, I make no excuses for my actions. I do not like the idea of KOSing, however it is a nessesary evil and one that isn't going away anytime soon . No I don't trust anyone outside of the clan I run with, I've been shot in the back way too many times for that but I can be a little more understand of your situation as long as you stay on the other side of the wall or at the buisness end of my SKS. No one is innocent in Dayz, people watch all those videos on YouTube of people behaving badly and the try to emulate that. I can also understand people not wanting to put the time in to find all of the required items to survive in Dayz, it is appealing to people to just kill someone who has already put in the effort so they can have Dayzeasymode. To the people who kill players, fresh spawn or not so fresh, just for fun, I guess I get your "need" for fun. I don't agree with it but that is my choice. I know tldr, its not human nature, its just people behaving badly.

It would be nice to know the severity of the wounds you incur. Last night I was wrasslin with a zed or 3 and one of the hit me in the legs. My character started complaining his leg hurt, after a quick search of the forums, I figured that it must be a fracture or something along those lines. I could still walk but I was noticeably slower that my 2 mates. I ended up using a splint and some pain killers but I do hope we will get a more in depth medical system/symptoms later on but I do like this suggestion. Beans to you

Maybe I'm playing the wrong game but Dayz takes place in a zombie apocalypse correct? The game has been out for a few months now and I assume you've got used to the shoot and loot play style and now that we have zeds, you're complaining?. Are they cramping your style? Yes they are an annoyance but damn man it isn't that bad. I'm sorry if you'd rather lay in one spot camping for new spawns or if you are a kos players looking for "fun" and now you can't be a bush monster all day but adapt to the situation. Zeds are here to stay....it is a zombie survival game after all right?

To the OP, I feel your pain. Our clan leader rented a stand alone server, when it first opened we saw traffic only at server restarts, we would then check all the "hot spots" And low and behold they had all been hit. When we started posting people at these spots for server restarts and shooting the server hoppers things started to settle down. Our server still sees a bit of server hopping traffic but the idea of getting some lead poisoning for their troubles seems to have detered most of them. As far as the hacker issues, we've only seen a few that were blatantly hacking. Some people here on the forum/game seem to think this game revolves around running and gunning and the idea of cooperation is foreign. Any ideas you may have about fun are lost to them, after all thats what Dayz is right? One giant game of kill anything that moves. I may be crazy but I think we might be able to "test" more if we weren't getting shot all the damn time. Perhaps the dev team can come out and say "hey guys, the shooting and killing mechanics have been tested enough and are working as intended....go find something else to do", until that time we will have to suffer the idiots and douche bags who can't live knowing their KDR isn't going up

Not sure you will find those kinds of mushrooms in the forest. If you're looking for the ones with psilocybin in them, well you will need to find a cow pasture and turn over a few patties to find them. At least that's how it works here in Michigan but I guess you could eat a strange mushroom, have it poison you and then start hallucinating.

Well I've got about 120 hours in and I've met some decent players, so not all are bad. Yes we still have those players who think this a giant game of team death match but just keep trying, they are out there. In most instances for me, if I meet someone and I'm unarmed, people seem to be less hostile but if I'm armed and they are as well then its a 50/50 shot that things will go sideways. With the changes that have transpired or that are going to, I think you will see more people willing to communicate with each other instead of letting their guns talk. I don't mean the whole server eating beans and singing campfire songs but a few good people trying to work towards a common goal, which is surviving. Just my 2 cents

Private hive will not keep the hackers out, it may reduce their numbers a bit but it won't get rid of them all. Give them time to work on the battle eye filters, there will be a wave of bans before too long

Oh great, another post by a butt hurt player blaming everyone from the community to the developer on why you are a bandit. Good for you, you kill people but the reasoning feels cheap. Boo hoo I don't get my way so I'm going to ruin games for others boo hoo. Glad to know you have a reason for your douche bag behavior. Its still alpha you know, you will get private hives soon enough
