Who needs a flamethrower when you can have a.... M16?!? From the sounds of it the M16 already has it's own flamethrower :P

Facts: SKs are terrible at the game. (Despite what you kiddies think, hacking in a game is not skill. Wanna hack? Do something worth while with it rather than spend it hacking in a video game). Hacking decreases your e-penis size, it doesn't make it bigger. Did I mention they are terrible at the game? /endrant

Considering how expensive the 7950 is I'm really surprised you haven't already upgraded the CPU by now. I'd say the bare minimum would be a quad-core, but I'd recommend either the (assuming you're sticking with AMD) FX-6300 or FX-8320/50.

(The only thing edited was the background to mask the location and chat, so that if someone on that specific server sees it they won't recognize where it is hidden.)

Yeah, I've only been going after good stuff and not the same stuff over and over. I've found a bunch of Lee Enfields but only kept one, same with the Makarov and M1911. Funny story about how we got the M4 and M14 actually. There was about 3-4 inmature kids down in Elektro as we were passing by with decent equipment. We decided to watch them for a bit, in the end about 2-3 of them kill each other out of random and the zombies swarm the last one as he shot the others. Waited til the zombies dispersed and took their gear.

It actually is a private hive, with admins (although I've yet to see any which can mean they're either doing their job and staying hidden to better catch hackers or they aren't on). Been considering playing on a private whitelisted server, but ended up playing on this once since my buddy and I had good luck from the start. We were just trying out different servers, ended up starting with probably the best luck we could have and ended up getting a good amount of gear fast. Although we each have been killed by a hacker twice (one of which was globally banned after) we get our gear back pretty fast and continue to gain more.

Better to have it and not need it it than to need it and not have it. Whether I'm playing alone or with someone else I always keep at least 1 of everything on me (excluding bandages, need a good amount of those in-case) as a precaution. I'd have to agree though, I very rarely break a leg or anything that would require me to carry the stuff I usually do, but it's better for peace of mind.

Yeah my buddy and I already planned to set up another one in a small location (eventually wanna have tents set up around the map and then have some at a main base location) and we're hoping to find a vehicle soon. Surprisingly 2 hackers that killed us within meters distance from the tent didn't even notice it at night. I'm guessing if they saw it they probably would have messed with it, so I think it's in a good spot.

I'd rather have nicer graphics than a slight chance of spotting someone easier, just imo.

I can play either way, but I personally enjoy playing with at least one other player. Playing with one or more other people will increase chances of survival if you guys know what you are doing. Playing alone can have it's benefits as well but I find that it can get boring after a while.

Interesting idea lol

From what I've seen around the forums a good amount of people recommend playing on private, whitelisted to servers to avoid the number of hacker occurances.

Posting this in hopes of finding one or more people to play a bit tomorrow, Friday (02/08/13) from anywhere between 2:00PM and later GMT -5. Looking for: Any skill level (New player myself) Maturity Willing to communicate through Steam and/or TeamSpeak 3 If anyone considering this is wondering what I can bring to the table, I've gained what I think is a fair bit experience since I started playing and you can see by checking out my achievements thread. Contact me either through this thread or PM if interested. ~ CS14

Agreed

~ Edit: Wrong thread ~

Been playing with just about everything on high so far and wanted to see if I could squeeze out more FPS with graphics. so I tried out the recommended settings from the pastebin link in OP and so far I'm liking it. Haven't noticed a performance hit, and I think I may have actually gained some FPS, will benchmark to find out. Going to test it out in some of the cities soon and see. Also plan on trying out the FOV settings as well. On top of that I'll be OCing my CPU soon as it's unlocked and I have good cooling. Also for anyone knows, what's the cause of FPS drops in larger cities like Cherno. It's not too much but I'd like to maintain as many FPS as I can in the cities. I'm thinking it's relating to the CPU due to the number of zombies spawning and what not, am I right on that one?

I'd be interested in one if you still have some to give out.

I'd be interested in grouping, just lemme know.

Still up to play? If so just lemme know and I'll add you on Skype/Steam.

Server: 173.192.200.126:3170 WakeupDeadClan DayZChernarus - [100+ Vehicles] [Custom Buildings] [Debug Monitor] [starting Gear] [REGULAR NP:OFF][GMT+12] (1.7.5.1/101480) | DayZ.ST 7 DayZ Chernarus on chernarus Before I go ahead and start, I'd like to say that if I've posted this in the wrong section apologies as I didn't see anywhere else fit to post. Anyways, I was playing on this server for a few hours when about 30-60 minutes ago (preceding the ban) I happen to notice a helicopter crash near a small town just South of the airfield with a few bodies around it. After scouting the area and figuring that the players most likely died from the crash I proceeded to loot their bodies. Upon looting the bodies I found a few guns, one of them I believe was an M4 and a Scar, as well as a few miscellaneous supplies. After looting the bodies, I noticed that there were some military tents towards the town not too far from the helicopter crash. As I started to head towards the tents a zombie started chasing me so I turned around and started heading back to the helicopter before getting kicked for some script related reason. I figured it was a bug so I proceeded to log in, roughly 30-60 seconds after logging in I was banned for something along the lines of item duplication/spawning. Firstly, I just started playing DayZ and ArmA 2 for the first time Monday (02/04/13) and still don't know a lot about the game, nor how to get/use hacks. For verification, check my library on my Steam account (xcs14x) and it will show that it was purchased a few days prior, which was in anticipation for receiving my new graphics card. Secondly, I had been playing on that server for a few hours, had decent loot before stumbling upon what I picked up at the heli crash, and had absolutely no reason to duplicate/spawn items or whatever I was banned for. I was really enjoying the server, in fact it was the first server that I managed to stay on for a few hours without getting bored and would hate to not be able to play for a misunderstanding/false ban. I'm posting this in hopes that this can be looked into and resolved. I did not happen to find a site for the clan so I posted this here. Any help appreciated. ~ CS14 ------------------------- UPDATE Have some screenshots from when I found the loot on the bodies (you can see the body if you look closely at the pictures) http://imgur.com/ycYM3ZO http://imgur.com/wleUxQS http://imgur.com/IllnowD http://imgur.com/IllnowD

If a forum moderator could close/graveyard this for me I'd appreciate it. Was a private hive and could care less about playing there anymore.

Only have killed 2 players so far since I recently started playing, but I'd have to say my best one is when I killed a guy with a Lee Enfield that had an AKS aimed at me in the tower of the fire station in Cherno. A buddy and I were looting Cherno and I decided to split up and see if there was anything good at the fire station. As I enter the fire station I could have sworn that I heard slow foot steps (love playing with a surround sound headset, really helps) but didn't see anyone so I figured it may have been a zombie. As I start heading up the tower I turn to see an AKS pointed at my face and instinctively fire a few shots at him, 3 in fact (1 probably did the job but had to be sure), killing him. Just recently got a DMR for the first time and a handful of other guns so I'm sure I'll have better kills soon B)

As the title states, this thread will be to show some of my achievements over the past few days that I am proud of. I've been playing this since late Monday (02/04/13) and have already started to learn a lot about DayZ and have started to notice that I am beginning to survive longer and longer while finding better and better gear. Another thing that I have noticed since I started playing DayZ is that I have gained a little bit more patience (sort of) than when I first started playing, taking the time to sneak around zombies more when I'm in the mood to play stealthy. Anyways, here are some screenshots: Yesterday (Wednesday, 02/06/13) Just some equipment that I obtained... Today (Thursday, 02/07/13) First tent: Just some equipment that I had: First vehicle:

Got quite a few updates and major progress made. Plan to write a little story about it with pictures and what not, but to keep it short: Spawned not too far from a fishing boat just down the coast from Cherno. Head to Cherno. alone and begin looting the buildings. Run into friendly player and agree to team, speaking on TeamSpeak. Loot the rest of Cherno together and manage to find Lee Enfields and pistols I end up shooting a player that had an AKS with my Lee Enfield in the tower of the firestation. Head up to the small airfield down the coast from Cherno. find nothing and head back. Grab some medical supplies, food, and misc. gear bringing it to the boat which is now stockpiled by supplies and hidden. Head back to the firestation only to find a DMR, MP5SD, M9 SD, and other small guns. Bring some of the gear back to the boat and the server restarts at which point we both take a break.

It depends on the server that you play on. Usually some private servers will start you off with bad/decent/good loot and others will not.
