I see your point. You're quite right, I'll be on my way then, shan't I?

So I'm playing on this one Epoch server and I ask on chat if this one person needs help as their gold was robbed at a safezone, I wanted to help him/her get some more. So I arrive at the Stary Sobor Trader(SST) and I glance around if anyone is there. I notice nobody is there so I go outside of the SST with my UAZ and suddenly, the UAZ gets shot at by a HUMVEE I saw outside the SST, didn't think much of it at the time, the server is mostly friendly. The UAZ gets its wheels wrecked, I can't drive properly and I crash it into a tree. I manage to get out and flee into the safezone, but what the bastards didn't know is I had been equipped with 2 very powerful snipers, a DMR and L118A5 or whatever it's name is. I run up to the sniper hill north of the SST and take an aim for the humvee, it was still in place. I notice it starts moving and it drives off, I decide to let them go. When all of a sudden, another one of their victim falls and dies, one of them goes to loot it. The cocky guy who blamed me that I destroyed my UAZ because of my driving skills and that , it wasn't really their fault ' . I take my rangefinder, heart racing to kill the cocky son, I pull the sniper, set the zeroing and pop him into the back, as he collapses down onto the ground and his mate drives off. I then think the words to myself; Don't get cocky son. :) Got a bandit kill for that.

True, and by the time I shot the tires I would've ended up with less ammo, no kills and a barely touched armed and armoured humvee.

Oh my god I flipped out, I still can't catch my breath :D

Wasn't this posted already http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153166-comedy-sketch-unofficial-dayz-standalone-update/

This is the best idea I've heard this week. I doubt there's anything much to add, have some beans.

That's frustrating? That's not what frustrating, what's frustrating is when I had an ATV loaded with top notch gear and just before I reach the Stary trader it flips and burns.

You have to switch channels, although some channels are banned from certain servers like Side Chat(In your words, global chat) Usually, well at least for me, pressing "," or "." switches the channel.

Exactly, party bus all the way! I used to do that on servers blasting AC/DC Back in black and Highway to hell while driving along the NWAF. Good times.

Alright, here's my first survival experience in DayZ. It might be long, but in my opinion worth the read. I got into this random server just excited that I bought the game. Apparently it was a german server so I jumped up on team speak and before you know it, I was in a team with 4-5 other guys. We all got into one car, well, most of us, anyways. We just picked up gear and whatnot and our main job was ramming cows on the street and yelling in team speak, also in German, there's a cow, HIT IT! Best experience in a game I ever had.

These sorts of topics never get an end do they... Every week someone posts a topic like this, every week people say: This is a bandit, that's not a bandit, bandits are a part of the game, people don't know how to be a bandit... Everyone has their own definition of what is a ,bandit'. As well, I don't see the point in this type of discussion. Half of the DayZ Mod population likes bandits, half doesn't. Half of them are bandits, half aren't. Creating these topics is, to me at least a waste of time. Have a nice discussion, this doesn't seem like something I would be interested, just liked to point this out.

First of all before I even begin a rant, this is just my opinion, you can tell me why it's wrong but the likely hood of it changing is little. I believe you did the wrong thing, even though they had bandit skins that's no reason to shoot them. The humanity system is a big mess in this game and I see more cons in it than pros, because even if you have a bandit skin, survivor skin or hero skin people still kill on sight purely for their "amusement". They approached you with kindness, didn't go out to shoot you but instead of that offered you to tag along with them, you misused their trust and shot them. The likely hood of them shooting you, could be large and small, it varies on the person who is behind the PC. I myself would appreciate the kindness such as that one and tag along, hoping to get some quality banter and whatnot.

Bandits, as in people who kill me or hold me up for actual reasons such as me having better gear, looking for satisfaction in killing someone they hate / want revenge on and has good gear. I won't get upset. What bothers me is that when people kill someone who has obviously nothing, and say: No mad bro, im bandit i got da law on ma side.

Take my word on this, it's best for you to enjoy not knowing what's going on at first in the game. So my advice to you would be to, play for however long you can, learn the ropes by yourself, then team with someone after you've understood the aspects of the game(It's not too hard.) and you'll be set :)

First of all, a quote: "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something" - Plato If you've nothing smart to say, but just want to do, what I can only describe as post-hunting or being a general douche, then this is not the forum for you. Second of all. You may be new hence I'll just assume why this -could- be happening to you. 1) You could be logging into different private hive servers(servers that aren't connected to the public hive and each of them has a different database meaning when logging into different private hive servers, your gear doesn't stay the same, however if you return to the other server you will still have it, unless a server roll-back or something in that manner occurs) 2) Again, if you're playing on a private hive it could as well be a rollback or abusive admins. Either way my opinions on the subject here probably mean squat to you and the rest of the people on this forum, but due to the lack of information you posted about the issue you're having I cannot write anything that would help you thus I ask of you to post more information. EDIT: I would just like to express how it amazes me how many people post hunt, as if it would make a difference in their lives. This does not refer to Applejaxc, although that previous post he had made does seem like post hunting... Sincerely, Princess Consuela Banana Hammock von Dusseldorf

I always go for one short range weapon, and one long range weapon, no matter how much of a damage it deals. In the battlefield of war, damage is not the only thing that counts, tactics, precision, having the advantage over your enemy is of great importance in war! Imagine yourself; You're in a forest, opposite of that forest is another forest and in between is nothing but plains, your target only has a short range weapon, you have a short range and a long age, by the time the guy takes a steady shot at you and it actually hits you, you could land several low-damage shots into his body, making him die much quicker.

I could say the same for you; so. Haha, that guy ^ There's a perfectly good section of the forum to view servers, or you can use the search option, to guess what, SEARCH. Everyone has different opinions as to what kind of a server is a good server so, nobody can really say which server is good and which isn't, unless you compare it towards for example the hacker count, but without further going into this.. yeah...

I'm going in now, hope to see you there :)in!

And what is the server IP? -.-

Hahah the translation.. Thanks pigeons

Obviously you're using DayZ Commander and in order to fix this rather common bug all you have to do is: Go to DayZ Commander Click on Settings Check the box that says: Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta so steam works. What this will do is replace the Arma old files with the new version. ;)

I like how he came with his gun pointing at you asking how to drop it, -.-

^ smooth I throw a bunch of flares on them blasting the benny hill music until they click respawn because it damaged their mental health.

Kind of depressing.
