Serthure (DayZ)

Bump. I can't let these guys slip away like that.

Bumping this, just noticed it is STILL going on. http://i.imgur.com/h8ojl.jpg EDIT: Just wanted to post an SS of today.

Wohoo!! Yay for nerf on zeds!

What about inventory wipes? Are they fixed or not?

Well that's a good question... I suppose it won't if it follows the same rules as hunger and thirst, but I'm not sure.

http://dayzmap.info/ Check the top left corner. You're there. You could also use this one: http://www.arma2.com/arma-2-chernarus/map-of-chernarus_en.html It reaches a bit more to the north west and you can see your surroundings better. Just let the map load and drag it until you reach the most north-west part of it.

Your character won't die if you don't log in for a week or month, the hunger and thirst levels will only be on the red when you come back. Leave them there after you log in and you will start loosing blood (dying of thirst or hunger). If you log out, your blood will freeze. Your hunger and Thirst levels will remain on the red but no blood will be lost.

I was in there today for a while, got killed, fine alright nothing I can't get over. The thing is, when I got back to get my stuff, this dude, which I think is the admin or one of his friends, teleports outside of my makarov range. I saw him disappear from 30m away from me to 500m away. He had a sniper and he wasn't alone, but I know he was the same player. Don't think any kind of lag would do it, specially cause there was no lag. Is this possible? * Server this happened on. DE6 * Time that it happened including your timezone. 4PM GMT * What happened during the incident. Player teleported away from me.

Those servers aren't connected to HIVE, they are what you would call private servers with their own database.

Ah, great! Then I'm glad I'm not actually seeing things, it actually happened. Good thing you caught him! Sorry if I blamed the wrong people, as I said I based my finger pointing on the direct communications chat, since you can only read it if someone is really close to you. Great stuff, and thanks admin and friends! Gonna request a lock, since the matter has been solved. Take care and I'll be going on your server again :P

Thanks MessHall. And sorry if I started pointing fingers to the wrong person. I just felt really mad when I was about to kill the dude that had killed me twice, only for him to teleport away and kill me :\ There were two tag teams on the server at the time. One with *TP* and another with [HM] or something with H on it. The player I *think* I was chasing was Hubobaby, or something. The name was something like that, I'm sure it's wrong though, but it's along those lines. That player had the tag with the H, and he was the one using Direct Voice Comms, so I assumed he was the one that was real close to me. I hope it's all desync, I already get enough hackers on APB >.>

Thanks. So, I still would like to know. As I already said, there was no lag and I'm sure someone that is related to the server (because of the tags) wouldn't cheat. Still, I clearly saw someone teleporting away from me and then sniping. Is it possible that the server can desync that massively and not having the yellow or red mark appear?

I only thought it was the admin OR one of his friends because I remember when I logged they had some [HM] tags on it (bare with me, just came back from exams so memory isn't as fresh), the admin included (one of them had a *Admin* after the name). I don't like to blame admins, I just assumed that because one of them was using direct voice comms, and his name was constantly appearing, making me think he was the one that teleported. He had the tag the admin had. Hence I said "admin OR one of the friends". That could've helped in pinpointing the person, because that server had kill announcements and tags deactivated. I'm just trying to understand what happened. I've never seen a cheater on this game so I don't know how they work. I just saw a dude with a sniper 30m away from me, and as I was going to shoot him, he teleported on the valley below, some 500m'ish meters away. He knew I was chasing him as I was easily sniped afterwards (no way to hide)

You don't have to feel bad for him. He wasn't careful enough and you got the drop on him. Whoever dies in this game is because they aren't careful Take his stuff and carry on. And what to do next? I managed to survive for 2 weeks on the woods, sure it's fun cause of the survival element but it gets boring. Now my group has a challenge of surviving exclusively on coastal cities. Much more exciting, dangerous and rewarding. 3 days now and we have yet to be killed in Elektro.

Read the coordinates like you would draw an L. From the side to the bottom ^^

Stop being such addicts! When you dream about a game you're clearly hooked to it and you need professional help!!! I only dreamed once about this game, was 3 days ago!!! ...o wait....

Yeah. I'd love this. I've been looking for ways to do this actually lately, found none though. Sometimes I'm playing with my friends and we specifically want to play together, and we spend time searching for an almost empty server. If I'd have the ability to host a private server, with its database separated from the main server, I'd have loads of fun when we wanted to cater to our more roleplaying moments.

The scenario I am thinking: I have been playing for a few hours now, I got a nice bag, good tools, enough to survive on my own in the wild. Say I need to make a run to a village or town and I don't want to lose anything. Can I, for example, drop my bag somewhere, go get whatever I wanted to get, and retrieve it? Will it despawn after a set time? I'd love to know this. Oh, and how long do dead players's bodies stand there to be looted? Forever? Or do they also have a set time until they disappear? Thanks!

Well, thanks for the part of the dead players's bodies :P I also thank for players to try and answer my question, but I'm still reluctant in leaving my bag :o
