No.

Well for me biggest pro of DayZero is that you can't alt+f4 while zombies are on you, or alt+f4 from player combat.

Yes, quick weapon swap is really nice and is on list to be implented in DayZero soon. But what you mean about unethical behavior of other dev teams? For exemple, I remember when log out timer was implented in DayZ and there was huge outcry of large player base that they are not able to combat log or log out to clear zombies so it was scraped, despite log out timer being really good feature solving many, many problems with PvP. And in DayZero it's back and many alt+f4-ers were killed with empty tin cans thanks to that. See, so while DayZ is going the way of AAA to appeal to wider audience, DayZero mod is bringing back and improves that what was the best and should be in DayZ.

If you looking for vanilla DayZ gameplay (high-end weapons only in barracks on North West Airfield and heli crash sites) then DayZero mod is probably only way.

Indeed, enterable buildings, specially (in my opinion) hospitals are done really, really nice. PS. And those enterable military-camo buildings (those at Balota for exeple) too!

I think Rocket is thinking about those "big" hacks like teleporting other players, spawning items etc. But as for esp hacks (wallhack for exemple) there have been so far no single FPS that wasyn't hacked by those. Even newest Call of Duties and Battlefields are hacked by esp hacks like wallhacks so if DayZ Stand Alone would be immune to wallhacks then it would be revolution in gaming. So far best and only anti-wallhack method was whitelisting and active admins.

I've got killed on sight one time too much.

I've just found heli crash site with as50 and mk12 spr. I took them both and when I switched from as50 to mk12 spr (to save as50 for special occasion) backpack eat my as50, only as50 ammo left. So if anyone get into similar situation then better never ever even try to unqeuip your as50.

Got same thing, probably some Battle Eye lag, I tried to connect 3 times and at 4th try all went just fine. Also I restarted Play withSix, cause I use it play DayZ.

You are missing some files in Arma 2/Arma 2 free AddOns folder. Put those files back in this folder if you removed anything from there manually or reinstall Arma 2 to get all original files in place. This is cause after I talked with Panda he tightened security aganist exploiting on server today.

I noticed them spawn on spaces that have no trees in them. Like cow or goat spawn were replaced with zombie or something.

No matter what time of a day or night, no matter how much I scout and sneak in, I am always getting killed from "somewhere" when trying to sneak in to one of North West Airfield barracks. Is this normal or am I getting owned by players with some kind of wallhacks?

I can remove all trees and play just fine.

Clans/teams of players usually very fast take *all* vechicles and hoard them somewhere on edge of map in da woods. So if you wanna find a vechicle and there is noone on spawn zone then it's time to check da woods.

I tried too many times running in #YOLO style and going carefuly, thought forests and throught fields. From my observations, forest do not provide as much cover as it should or other players can see thought it or don't see the forest at all. As stated in my previous post, I've informed admin, that server is not protected aganis turning off trees etc and I asked admin to enable checking for trees/grass etc files. I'm expecting lots of players to get a "surprise" kick for missing tree/grass files.

-Panda, I did send you a private messege regarding possible issues on servers, please check it.

I did some research and I have found out that it indeed is very easy to manually remove trees/grass even buildings and play DayZ from those topics: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68533-disable-the-abillity-to-remove-plants-from-arma-2-cheating/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/58449-need-of-codes-for-file-check-plantspbo/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/61966-looking-for-the-fix-invisible-grasstrees/ In those topics it says it is also possible for private server admin to enforce check on *trees* , so players that try to exploit via turning off *trees* will be kicekd out. Some servers do it and some don't cause checking for files takes up logging in and loading times for few minutes sometimes. Anyway, for test I removed "my trees" and logged on my favorite private whitelisted server. It doesn't kicked me out, and I could play with seeing every forest as a flat ground. I'm gonna now inform server admin about this and I'll ask him to add file checking for trees & grass to the server.

Exactly my thought. I was adding 2 to 2 and I concluded that: a) some players are wallhacking and kill players in forest cause they want extra cover for themselves while they can see other players clearly via hack b ) some players can disable trees/grass and kill players in forest cause they want extra cover for themselves while they can see other players clearly via disabled trees/grass. c) as @Target Practice suggested they may prefer to use assault rifles or do not have sniper rifles and thus preffer to kill payers in forest I am more lined towards thinking that there is some exploit/hack running around that removes trees tho.

Ok, so I see it is pretty normal to be killed in the forest around NWAF. Well, there is this strange phenomena, when I was going throught the north forest I often was killed there and never even made it to airfield. But when I started to run thought the open fields I made it in all safe every single time so far. Until I tried to get near barracks or fire station that is.

@ _Anubis_ and @ mzltv What made me think about wallhacks were exactly opposite events from what you guys say, that were very fishy to me: 1. I wasyn't killed even once by sniper from elevated hill, it were always from 80-150 meters with machine gun. 2. Wasyn't killed even once when running thought open field. 3. Was killed many times when slowly and carefully sneaking throught forrest zones. 4. Wasyn't killed once when going to hangars. 5. Was killed every time when trying to get to fire station or near bigger buildings. It literally felt like those players there don't even bother with camping on hills with sniper rifles but run head on to me with machine guns like in Call of Duty while they know my position on radar or something. That was what even pushed me to make this topic.

To stay alive you need to get: Hunting knife, matches, empty tin can, bottle and hatchet and start to live in the woods away from civilization. If you will keep comming to cities, supermarkets or airfields you will die, like in Call of Duty.

Best Assault Rifle? m107 or as50. I'm serious.

Without knock outs you may as well rename game to: Call of Day: Z.

For some people new server works perfectly and for some it dosen't work at all. I'm one of those unlucky players that can't play. I don't know why. When I first started play on UK#10 everything was fine, then like 2 weeks later lag started, then while playing on UK#10 game started to randomly crash (it still do). I tried to play on some comercial non-whitelsited severs and everything was ok. And as for the newset server UK#10, for me it is like this:

That's why you don't care that you need 3-4 or more shots to kill someone from 700 meters with sniper rifle other then as50 or m107.
