If you want to play a game in which you "explore" and "survive" then go play a Forrest Simulator or something like that. I feel like most of you are missing the obvious, the game is made by a game which is an Army Simulator. SHOCKING, isn't it. This game was built and designed for the best and most realistic army simulator. You can't just avoid that. So what will you do on a server with PvE, I don't mean the first few weeks, you explore, you loot and you make a base. Then what. Are you going to go with your newly found AS50 on sniper hill at Elektro and shoot zombies? Shoot your mates? Hunter deer?(Hunting Simulator 2013 everybody.) As well as taking out bandits from the game, you're taking out the horror of walking down the streets of Cherno, nobody is afraid of zombies. You can easily out run them by going up a hill or running down one. The real problem is the bandits. To make it worth both sides here. I'm not saying that DayZ PVP is perfect, but PvE is nothing better. There are the occasional robbers which will, as the name says, rob you. And there are those that kill you on sight. That's a pain in the ass, I should know, I've been murdered a hundred times like that. TL;DR DayZ is based on an Army Simulator, if you take PvP out, then you're taking 65% of the game out. PvP servers also have their downsides, but they are def. a lot better than PvE servers.(My opinion everybody.)

So, what about it, 1M9SD mag for 1 tent?

Clean yer' butt hole!

I don't think you should be all helping him like this in public, rather PM him as a lot of bandits can see this, every bandit can see this ..

Or, like Inception( I believe) said, you can go out into the Real Life World and Nature. Spend some quality time with your friends, or if you're younger than 18, study for a better life, start a hobby, then after a while return back to the game and enjoy :)

I would love to spawn sometimes like 2-3 km of Stary Sobor in a forrest. Doesn't matter which direction, it would be nice rather than every time walking 6 km to get some decent loot.

That one time a hacker killed me, at that time I didn't know he was a hacker but I had a suspicion. He was literally crying in chat for me to help him as he was 'surrounded by zombies'. I go down to see where he was and to my surprise nobody there. I then hear a granade flying through the air. But it was weird because 10-20 minutes ago he died. So he then starts laughing as I lost my M24 I walked 30 minutes to get it. I then go to NWAF again, go back to cherno with a new M24, and ask him where he is, he says Cherno and I ask him to be friends. I was climbing the sniper tower in the industrial area of cherno. I ask him where he is, I heard a shot of an sniper, he says it's him, he accidently shot at the fire station as he had his game windowed. I heard it very close to me. I climb up the tower and to my surprise, there he is. Sitting up on the industrial building waiting for me to kill me. I kill him, and to my surprise he had an AS50 with 1 NATO Round. Obviously hacked in since he had nothing else, a coyote backpack(the small one), flashlight, painkiller and bandage. I then hid the body, because at that time I didn't know how strong that sniper is(dammit). His friends was also a hacker, that day I told everyone, he started TPing to me and killing me. So yeah, that's how I dealt with a Bandit/Hacker, he also 10 minutes later became my friend, he told me his friend was a hacker and then I reported him. Case closed :) - All happened on a private hive so it was a waste of time to take the AS50 anyways.. Bandit/Hackers name: Maverick

People should go back to CoD... All they do is get a weapon, camp at one spot and wait for people who actually want to play normally and kill them.

Never, ever try to shoot an M14 AIM or DMR at the NWAF. I wanted to shoot my way out of the small tight barrack, next thing you know I get 100+ zombie kills Jesus Christ -.-.... And not to mention a buttload of them appeared later.

Just a few tips. One, you cannot share vehicles through public servers, they only stay on one, but I suppose one could play on the one with the dirtbike, but then if they had a camp they would loose it. Two. If you're on a private hive you can just about forget about trading with anyone, due to people who actually trade are on public hives. Three. Maps are common and they tend to spawn in supermarkets, quite often, you find at least 1 or 2 maps in a supermarket, if you have luck.

Well, PvP is one of the key elements DayZ has. Taking out PVP is like taking out weapons in a TDM server. If you get an AS50 on a non-pvp server, what would you do with it? Kill zombies? That's a waste of time.

Yeah I mean like wtf, I go to a smaller village, clear it of zombies and there we go again, Wave 2, shit ton of zombies appear behind me and start killin' -.-

I don't think you are allowed to insult the server, I swear I remember reading that somewhere, might have been for trading I think, dunno. Well, it is their server, their rules I guess. But it is a bit immature to act like that. If they're spawning it in they should leave the bodies, fair game should be a must for the servers. I don't get why they do that, it obviously makes them get less players and they pay for a crappy server with nobody on but them.

I think he meant understanding your surroundings, by orienting yourself using streets, towns, hills and knowing where your aprox. pos. is :| After a while you get used to knowing the places anyways.

How about then 1 M9SD Mag for 1 Tent?

Is there any way I can convince you 2 mags 2 tents? I really need them :S

Airwolf. There are like 50-100 results on that name. You sure know how to pick em-..

Server IP?

Hey! It's me again!Man I've been here so many times .-.-'So any ways, I've got my hands on 2 M9SD mags, if heard you are looking for them. I could really use some tents as I've been trying to get a hold of them for a while. I have: M9SD Mags I want: Tents :D

If you are using DayZ Commander, go to Settings, Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta files so steam works, that would probably fix it.

There are plenty of other maps(Fallujah, Takistan, Lingor) which are all awesome. Find one which suits your style and stick to it. You can find out how they look by going to www.dayzdb.com/map, then go to Maps or w/e and choose one which you like to see how it looks like :)

I was so happy once I found an Offroad, I went to drive up an 65 angle hill, car did a backflip and that's it.. :P

Could be because of a wrong version? Worth to check.

I play on a Laptop as well, I get about 30-40 FPS, I'm happy with what I can get, not to mention I only have 4 GB Ram .. :P

Nah it's not a stupid question. When I first came here(on this forum) I didn't know what HIVE stood for. :P
