Lol, that was awesome.

I'm genuinely surprised this post survived a moderator. Figured it was done for.

Just rollback to 94876. It appears to be the only patch that will work with DayZ at the moment.

+1 beans And you broke the Golden Unspoken Rule of the new forum. Never give yourself beans.

Happened to me yesterday. Alt+tabbed for maybe 4 seconds, tops. Was in the forest about 200 yards outside of Dolina. Couldn't have been a zed, although maybe a very skilled sniper might have spotted me through a small gap in the trees, but highly unlikely.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Awesome idea. Allow the community to be part of the dev process, while allowing the real devs to focus on the serious stuff (glitches, features, etc). +1 Beans

Bag ate my m1014 and some of my ammo too, frustrating but not as bad as losing a L85 :(

The red headband idea is just simply silly. In real life, who would be stupid enough to wear a red headband while trying to stay hidden in bushes?

Trying this now, hopefully I don't get the crashing issues I've heard some people complain of when they update BE. Edit: Success! Thanks a ton. +1 Beans.

Lol, dunno why all these spam bots started showing up everywhere hijacking threads. Reported.

Well darn. I've been stuck on Waiting for Host, was just hoping that maybe I hadn't been patient enough.

Were you stuck at Waiting for Host?

My brother and I share our comp. I would try your idea, but I'm not willing to download Arma through Steam (connection is about 100 kb/s). Right now we just alternate characters after death.

Not to mention ammo is EVERYWHERE. I have like 60 rounds of Enfield ammo, it's taking up a ton of my inventory :P

Pardon me, but I'd like a little more back story to these convoys. Where are they coming from? What is their goal? Who's guarding them? Why are they insane enough to send tons of supplies through bandit-laden Chernarus? Sorry if this is taking away from your intended idea, I just try to add role-play and structure to everything in-game, and random supply convoys from nowhere that have no particular destination hauling goods through bandit territory seems just a tad bit unrealistic to me :P I do support the general suggestion though, great idea :)

I think the servers are still getting updated with the new beta patch. I'm just waiting it out until tomorrow.

I thought they were backwards compatible, but when it updated to 1.61 I think that went out the window.

I've only seen a couple of servers updated with 94945. Most of the servers are hosting out-of-date beta patches, which might be why we cant ever get past "Wait for Host"

This happened to me the other day. I dreamed I was in the forest with an Enfield, saw another survivor running through a clearing and shot him, then instantly hundreds of zeds starting pouring out of the treeline. It was intense.

Definitely. Arma II is lots of fun even without DayZ (and that's coming from some one who bought Arma II solely because of DayZ!)

What ridiculous generalisations you're making. Well, he is somewhat correct. At least about the US anyway. Dunno about the EU, I've never been over there. But where I live, carrying a knife is very normal indeed. My father carries either a leatherman or a pocketknife wherever he goes, along with almost every other guy I know. Most boys even take them to school, some even as young as 6th grade, and the teachers couldn't care less. Nobody is stupid enough to use them to hurt anybody. I personally keep a USMC KA-BAR in my truck for protection.

Patience is definitely key. Today while looking over a town with my binocs from about 400m out, I see someone crouch run along the outskirts. He hides underneath a tree and disconnects, but I didn't realize that he had dc'ed until I walked up onto his body. I head back up to the treeline, and as I am about to get settled back in, I hear 2 nearby pistol shots. No idea where they came from or whether whoever was shooting them was going after me or the nearby zeds. I hunker down as best I can under a pine tree for about 30-45 seconds. Then, I crouch and scan to my left, where several zombies are. I notice that one of said zombies doesn't look like a zombie at all. In fact, this zombie is holding an AKM. He was slowly crouch walking toward my position, so now his intentions were clear. He was about 50 yards out. If I didn't shoot him now, he would find me sooner or later and make short work of me (I wasn't equipped for short range combat, all I had was an Enfield and revolver). I lost sight of him, zoomed, saw movement, and took a guesstimated shot at where I assumed he was. Of course, the Enfield (AKA the "Dinner Bell") had every zombie in the Northern Hemisphere hauling-butt to my position, but I had to confirm the kill. I ran over, heard the flies and saw the body. Murder Count: 1 Morale of the story kids: Be patient. Had he not fired those 2 shots, I wouldn't have realized he was there. If he had been patient, he could have easily hunted me down, given that he had the element of surprise working for him.

Did you install the latest beta patch?
