Uno Dr. Wasteland por favor ...... oh wait...

To all you carebear KoS whiners: 1. Do not impose your morals or ethics on other players, and for heavens sake dont expect your morals or ethics to be respected by other players in game. 2. If you are consistently getting KoS then you are doing something wrong, your situational/tactical awareness is lacking or your behaviour is repetative / stupid enough to be exploited by others. 3. This game is a survival game which is quite realistic with regard to interactions with others in a 'lawless' environment. If you would like me to prove that point then meet me in the roughest council estate in Peckham, South London at 2am and see how long YOU survive. While you may not be killed on sight you will certainly be mugged on sight at the minimum. It amazes my even in these times that there are still naive people who still cant comprehend that humans are capable of doing bad things to each other for no reason, it happens every day in the real world so why shouldnt it happen in Dayz?

You obviously missed the Krispy Kreme store opening in Edinburgh.. :P

I got this alot after trying to upgrade to 1.7.6, after re-installing the mod it 'mostly' stopped for the private hive server i play on. I still get it on occasion but i find that going back to the lobby and trying again a few times gets me into the game

I prefer moving on foot because its the stealthiest way to move. I only tend to use vehicles when i really need to get somewhere quickly or if the servers got a low pop because generally the engines are so loud they get you noticed from hundreds of meters away and just turn you into an instant target. Ironically though Ive found more vehicles due to moving on foot everywhere, I have a strange knack of stumbling upon players camps which normally have at least one hoarded vehicle to take

Oooo nice! I thought about this approach but didnt think it would be possible, I'll be checking this out tis evening

I tried putting the dayz mod in a ramdisk. To be honest I couldnt see any improvement when compared to using the mod from its original location within the A:OA folder

I play on a private hive, currently my character is 17 days old however if you take death by hacks out of the equation then I havent died for a couple of months.

Tbh Im not interested if they are still gonna use that god aweful poorly performing decade old interpreted scripting engine

No game can resist the power of 'End Process Tree'

I use water bottles alot and have never bothered boiling the water since the patch, I have had 0 'infections' so far. I suggest you dont even bother based on my experiences, just keep some antibiotics in your backpack

I always aim down the sights because i play on vet servers which dont have the ez mode cross hair. The only time i dont is within 5m because at that distance I can work out the area im going to hit from the direction my weapon is pointing

Yup I have almost exactly the same type of Axe in my garage, its a wood axe not a hatchet

Hook Line And sinker, Just what the reptilians want you to believe.....

After some research it appears the problem is a bug in private hive code that the DayZ mod team have no control over (no idea which private hives are affected apart from the ver that dayz.st hosting use). I'm decided to just dupe away until the bug is fixed as i cant use my tents for anything else atm.... Pro tip: If you want to dupe then place a new tent and fill it up, the tents contents are then 'frozen' after the first restart and then come back after every server reset. I did this with a coyote backpack, Mk48 + dmr :D

Well my best (sniper) kill to date was yesterday evening, though I did feel a bit guilty afterwards.... I decided to go down to Cherno and see if I could snag some bandits and actually fire my DMR in anger, I made my way down to the little hill north of cherno and setup covering the north road out of cherno and scanning from the petrol station to the apartments with my DMR. Apart from a few shots in the distance behind me there was no activity for about an hour, and I was starting to get a bit bored scanning back and forth between the apartments, industrial area and petrol station so I logged and took a break. When I logged back in something caught my eye in the distance, I brought up my scope and zoomed in on the apartments and on the roof of one of them was a hatchet wielding survivor! Now this survivor was just standing there and after about 30 secs he started moving about before heading for the ladder down. Now I had to make a decision, let him live and wait another hour to practice my aim or......... Boredom got the better of me and I decided to try my luck, the target was around 500m out so I guestimated the mil dot, placed it on the survivors head and as soon as I saw the player start the 'climb' animation i fired. "player xxxxx was killed" Its quite a strange experience being elated at a first attempt 500m headshot and at the same time a little bit guilty getting it at that survivors expense but hey sh*t happens :P

In the context of traditional memory debugging: Im not sure if there are any performance implications but from my experience games would be alot harder to hack if no static variables are used as every time the game is launched variables would reside in a different memory location. This would make it alot harder to keep hacks active as they would have to scan the games entire memory allocation to locate whatever they want to fiddle with every time they try and attach/ inject their hacks. basically they couldnt write a hack that says "go to memory offset xxxx and do this to get infinite ammo" because every time the game starts the ammo count is in a different place i.e offset yyyyy or offset aaaaaa etc..

Indeed, it would be uber excellent if you could make your own i.e Harvest wood with hatchet & combine with hunting knife to make arrows. Even utilise empty tins to make a arrow head? :D

I play lone wolf and I dont trust anyone unless they have proven themselves trust worthy on a number of occasions. For example I only trust one player on my server who was kind enough to lend me his suv (even flew me to it in his littlebird). To return the favour I gave him some dmr mags a week later after the ammo amount nerf which had left them as quite a rarity. Dont feel that you have to team up or trust other players to progress in this game, you can survive perfectly well (if not better) on your own. An example of this from my experience is a comic little episode that unfolded last week when i went looting NW airfield. I'd snuck in with no agro at all and had just left the fire station to get into the control tower. After getting into the control tower and having a look for loot I was about to leave when I heard shots. Watching from the control tower i saw 4 players emerge from the firestation and then sprint for the hangers. With every shot more and more zeds decended on them as they attempted to loot the hangers, one by one they were taken down by the zeds as they tried to move from hanger to hanger, ending with the last survior passing out and dying outside the last hanger. I watched the entire thing unfold like a post apocolyptic benny hill sketch all the while laughing my ass off and then left the AF agro free because every zed in the area was feasting on their bodies outside the hangers :D Lone wolf 1 : Teamed up friendlies 0

Nooo! Keep it for noob mode only, All you have to do on vet servers is learn some orienteering skills.

HAHA so true, Berezino is my home turf on the server i play on, what ive done is set up tents between the south coast and berezino so if I do spawn there Ive got weapons and supplies to get me back up NE Obviously takes a while to run it but in honesty it isnt that bad

Yup ive got 5 camps dotted around the map , not one has been found / raided yet

Some people are just brain dead and dont realise theres 8 deer stands to loot on the way up to Zelenogorsk, Its one of my fav spawn points

Yes it is possible, that lag was probably caused by them broadcasting large/inefficient scripts to your game client

Err find them and then steal them back? There are not alot of vehicles on the server i play on so I travel on foot ALOT, as a result I find loads and loads of camps and vehicles, mostly in the wilderness but not always. If you can get a chopper, finding vehicles is even easier if you know where to look
