Interesting, might give it a try.

Never betrayed someone I team up with, that's just being a dick. Personally the best thing that works when it comes to surviving is to either kill or be killed. I've tried the whole "be friendly, help others" thing but that doesn't always work well. One example would be when my buddy and I were trying to hook up a new spawn with some food and supplies when all of a sudden he accidentally presses his talk key while he was telling his friend (most likely in Skype) where we were, what we had, presumably so his friend could come and take our gear. Another example and this has happened multiple times would be running into someone who claims to be friendly only to have them try to kill me (and fail badly) after a few moments. After that I just pretty much kill anyone that could pose even the slightest threat to me. Humanity is somewhere around -50,000. One funny story about trying to survive would be when me and four other people were stuck on the roof of the fire station in Cherno with at least 50+ zombies outside... let's just say I finally found a use for the grenade ;)

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about if you made a statement like that. Now while it may not be a lot, depending on the hardware, overclocking does actually help. When I had to send in my current graphics card for a replacement and was stuck with an older one, overclocking actually helped me to gain a small but noticeable FPS boost in games. Yet another person who doesn't know what they are talking about.. *sigh*. Running something like a CPU or GPU at higher speeds isn't dangerous, it's the voltage involved that can be dangerous. Of course with pushing something past it's limits it's going to need more power and in this case voltage however the only way you can damage something when overclocking is by too much heat and too much voltage. Laptops aren't meant to be overclocked, no surprise it over-heated. Laptops are bad enough at managing heat as it is, totally different from a desktop with sufficient cooling. @ OP - If you want to get into overclocking, checkout overclock.net

Lately I've noticed that whenever I hit Scroll Lock to pull up whatever the new monitor is called (still Debug Monitor?) I've been noticing that it doesn't update until I relog. I thought it was just the server I was playing on at the time so I went ahead and tried it on another private hive that I play on and I noticed the same thing. Any ideas on what it can be? Would it by any chance have anything to do with me recently installing DayZCommander with PlayWithSix already installed? Any help is appreciated.

******** SCREENSHOT & VIDEO EVIDENCE WILL BE UPLOADED AND POSTED SHORTLY ******** Server: US 303 Dallas (v1.7.6.1/build 102591) [Veteran|3DP:ON|CH:ON][uTC +9] Time (Server Time): 5:00 - 6:00AM (UTC +9) Time (My Time): 3:00 - 4:00AM (GMT -5) Player Name: Silly Sausage Suspected of using teleport hacks numerous times when my teammates and I noticed the player repeatedly appearing near us after just killing them. The first few times we saw and killed the player they had a blue face however the last few times they appeared to have a bandit skin. We recognized the player not only by their blue face, but the fact their name - Silly Sausage - kept appearing after we killed them. My teammates and I are hoping that server logs can be reviewed if a server administrator sees this thread or the evidence that will be provided will be clear enough when posted. My teammates will be posting back on this shortly to confirm as well.

People that complain about getting shot in an action/shooter game is like enlisting in the military, going to war, and acting surprised to get shot at by the enemy. They don't call it an action/shooter game for no reason, obviously there is going to be shooting whether it is at zombies or other players it is up to the person shooting, but nobody here has the right to try and determine what is the correct way to play the mod other than the developers. All I see when browsing the forums is people bitching about getting shot at and trying to "dictate" why their way of game play is the correct way. It's a game, have fun. That's what games are made for, are they not? Imagine the game with nothing but 100% peaceful players, where's the fun in that? Where's the worry that you're going to get sniped if you run into Cherno/Elektro or if you just heard a player trying to sneak up on you or not? The game wouldn't be as fun of an experience if there wasn't an incentive for PvP, it's part of the game. Honestly if people are going to do nothing but complain about the way other people play the game, they shouldn't be playing multiplayer IMO. Just enjoy the game for what it is and have fun.

That's only going to lead to camping outside the workshops. And before someone suggests (not sure if posted yet, didntread.gif) safe zones.. no.

lol interesting list :thumbsup:

Maybe don't go to Cherno or Elektro if you are tired of it? Seems like the most obvious solution. I don't mind going into Cherno or Elektro due to two reasons: 1. I make sure there are no snipers around, if they are I try to hunt them down. 2. People in Cherno/Elektro typically have crappier weapons than I do assuming they go there for the same reason I do, to stock pile on drinks and medical supplies. If you want weapons your best bet is heading up North and scouting for helicopter crashes or just taking them from players that were unlucky enough to come across you and try something.

Sounds good :)

Anyone?

Wouldn't take long to learn how to build a computer at all. Give it a few weeks, read up on some stuff, watch some videos on YouTube, and choose your parts wisely when the time comes. I'd recommend checking out overclock.net , you can learn a lot there. It's where I first started really getting in-depth about computers.

Awe :)

Before you go and look to buy a PC for gaming I would suggest learning more about them. Don't take this the wrong way, but you barely know what an OS is and you're looking to buy a PC. You'd be better off building your own once you sufficiently know how to, as it'd be cheaper.

Don't be mislead by people who don't know what they are talking about. Sure, if you want to absolutely crush every game with the nicest graphics at more than playable frames you'll be looking in the thousand range, but for a little bit less than $500 I built my PC and can run the game on all high settings with high frames in regular ArmA, and high frames throughout the wilderness in DayZ with some FPS drop in the large cities, yet still playable.

Allowing yourself to get killed doesn't make you a "legitimate player". I'm really getting tired of people going around trying to befriend everyone they run into, then complaining on the forums that they get killed. Tired of getting killed for coming off too nice? Do something about it. Constantly complaining about it isn't going to change the game, so stop trying to force one way of playing on everyone and just enjoy the game for what it is.

Just late last week I was running over the top of the mountain mid-way between Cherno and Elektro when all of a sudden I see a guy turn around and shoot me a few times with his M4A1 while I went prone and shot at him with my Lee Enfield. Just as I shot him he somehow manages to log and I somehow was still alive after taking multiple shots with an M4A1 at a close enough range to where aiming wasn't even necessary. Just this past Friday (02/22/12) my buddy and I were heading out of Cherno after looting it and having to finish a guy in the supermarket when all of a sudden we both hear shots and a few zombies behind us started falling dead. At first we thought maybe someone was just trying to shoot the zombies to help us due to the fact we attracted what seemed like the whole town after getting into a gun fight at the supermarket. We were wrong. As I'm just hitting the wood line I suddenly get shot in the leg and loose a small amount of blood, yet surprisingly enough I wasn't bleeding nor did I have to bandage myself. At that point my buddy and I realized we were being attacked and we were making our way through the woods way from Cherno and towards our camp. I decided to fall back while my buddy kept heading towards the direction of our camp and I quickly looped around to see if that guy was following us. What do you know? I see him running just a bit farther in the woods and I began full on sprinting at him. I followed him for a good minute or so, extremely surprised he hadn't seen me then when he stopped I shot him a few times with my M16. Thinking I didn't kill him (thought he passed out as he hit the ground right away) I rushed towards him more, firing more and more shots. Long story short, got shot a few times while running loosing hardly any blood. There have been a few instances where I was surprised to have even survived after being shot, other times have been falling and not dying where as I've died previously at a lower fall.

Holding up players doesn't always seem to work out well when the player being held will try to fight even if they are heavily over-powered. Hell, I've even been face to face with a guy waving a rifle and a ghille suit and ended up killing them with a Makarov just because I didn't want to loose anything I had, regardless of how little it was. I've only been able to successfully hold up one player and that was when I was covering my buddy with a DMR while he approached the guy and informed him that I was watching. We didn't do it to rob the player, we did it to make sure they didn't have any hostile intentions, and that was until his buddy started running up and I shot him in the back before he could even realize what happened. Although I'm guilty of trying to rambo myself out of a few situations like this, it would be nice to hold up players without having to kill one another.

I personally don't agree with killing fresh-spawns or unarmed players for no reason yet I don't try to be friendly to every single player I run into. When I first started playing I tried not to kill anybody and tried to be that "good guy" and where did that get me? Dead. Now when I play alone or with my friends I don't trust anyone and will usually put down anyone that comes across me as it's not worth the risk. Where has playing like this got me? A camp with 6+ tents in multiple locations and pretty much every gun I can ask for plus longer survival time. I've never been the type to shoot fresh-spawns or unarmed players (aside from one time when what seemed to be an unarmed player following my buddy and I towards our camp. Turned out they had a gun with no ammo and was trying to get their friend to come kill us for our guns) and I don't find anything fun about it.

6 is actually a bad tip. I think it'd be better playing at night due to the fact players (unless they have NV goggles or brightness/gamma turned up) and zombies won't see you as easily. Use the darkness to your advantage. If you stumble upon a player and they don't see you, follow them for a bit and see if they have a base and what not. You can also have some fun at night. See a player in a town all alone? Why not spook him out a bit by throwing flares and chemlights near him. Pretty fun B)

Personally I find putting a bunch of crap around your tents/base/whateveryouwannacallit makes it easier to spot. Find a good hiding spot that isn't near the shore and you should be fine. Go somewhere else, and try to find it a few times. If you can easily spot it, move it until you have difficulty seeing it as you approach.

The side of the road I drive on is the road I make.. AKA wherever I want it to be :P

I'd agree and say that try not to fall in love with your gear. The more I play, the less attached I get to my gear. Hell, I wasted like 4 DMR mags last night just to have some fun killing zombies and didn't care cause I knew I'd find ammo for it again and if not I'd probably find another, better gun. After having some accidents (breaking your leg from going prone too close to a tree, accidentally falling off roofs, etc.) you'll quickly loose any attachment to gear.

Combined Operations is both regular ArmA 2 and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead. If you have just Operation Arrowhead you need to buy ArmA 2, although I have seen something online where someone had the free version of ArmA 2 that you can get legally and bought Operation Arrow head and it worked fine. Not sure how truthful it is but that may be something to look into for you.
