shameless bump

Can anybody speculate as to why Bohemia decided to do a significant weapon rebalance now, as it's been 3 years since it was released? Surely they would have sorted all that all out ages ago. Rocket must have known of this and signed off on it, but as yet he has said nothing. Also he indicted clearly that any weapon rebalance however minor was way down the list of priorities. Personally i think the changes sucks balls - Having to fill a player with holes with a pistol THEN having to reload to finish the fucker is crap CoD territory - even worse maybe.

http://dayzdb.com/ne...es-in-arma2-162 So now to kill a player with full health: M1911 and revolver: 9 shots M9, G17, PDW, MP5 and Bizon :13 shots Shotguns: 3 Shots The 3 AK47's : 4 shots. 9 shots with a .45 to kill a player in the body??? Something very wrong here....

4. Witness AS50 shot. 5. Laugh at ensuing fireball.

I'd just positioned my tent well close under a evergreen /conifer tree when crunch. Catastophic damage. Died quickly with -3000 (no time to bandage) from 12000 health/blood. Do bear traps do this kind of damge? Was led to believe they only maim. Maybe a bug

M14 and a DMR in the backpack. Both use same mags. Nice combo if you've got a decent sized backpack.

I bought this game on steam and haven't updated the game or the beta once via steam since i got it.

Silly question as I've been playing for a while. Thanks for any anwers. :)

Yes ofc -- but do you really want people to be able to camp NW/Star at night with a DMR and NVG's also?? :|

Hackers, or more accurately 'players' using simple scripts (aka script kiddies) basically follow simple instructions to inject a UI into the game; it's simple stuff and these players are almost always children who do it. Either they are having a laugh or simply need a leg up over the adult players. Just live with it and don't get upset. After all - who hates children? xwhitemousex - a rolling list of servers that hackers are on would be self defeating. It would run out of steam and turn into yet another grr-thread. You'd be just as upset as before. Things will improve.

tl;dr

Thanks for the replies Achery / Aerodax - thought it was a graphical glitch or something. You cleared that up - yes it is weird that.

Shameless bump > so some sniper rifles with scopes you can use the NVG's but not others?

Not with the SVD cammo nor the AS50 you can't??? Confusing.

Been playing on UK9/6/5 (GMT+1) but in the RL evening it's only the NVG'd up players that are are on. Great stable server with a professional webpage and frontend however the playing in the dark really does irk. Love to find a UK based server with a decent GMT- minus that allows me to play in some light, at 8pm onwards real time and have a Teamspeak server that I can meet up with people once you've said hi in direct. Any suggestions?

i haven't gone prone around zombies since the last patch. When I get aggro I hoof it to a building or a pine tree. Tells you loads about how easy it is around em now. Plus no more breaking bones. BTW. The 'pine tree manoeuvre' - Run to a pine tree and stand by it's trunk. The Zed's pathfinding screws em up. Been mentioned before.

Freshly spawned earlier today - only found a rifle till i got to berezino 2 hours later. Suks nads.

Wish the DayZ forums would post up in the header what the current official DayZ Patch and Arma Patch just like on Reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/

Nice guide, thank you Acebane - looking forward to the rest. Perhaps give the axe and the crowbar a miss though ;)

Thanks for this guide MorninAfterKill ;)

The tents are breeding atm. Also if you're lucky they'll breed multiples of weps n stuff. More a pain in the tits though. it's a bug.

Satchel charges are in the game.

I ought to have perhaps taken my packed tents on me to another server, then back again to my own server. Then set some up. That could just maybe 'launder' the items- flagging them as safe. Just a thought??

That's very probably what happened. However how do I know that those stolen items weren't duplicated in the 1st instance? One SVD plus ammo became 3 (plus other stuff) in my tent and ALSO reappeared in the original tent where I'd stolen it. I'm sure this'll be sorted soon.

takfar .. what you did happened to me exactly. Ended up with 13 tents out of thin air (from two initially), often breeding/multiplying so's my well hidden tent became a not so well hidden village of em. Also some duplicated loot. I was scratching my head as to which ones were the original to try and sort this knot out but alas I couldn't think of anything to do - then I got killed by a tree setting up a tent away from the others. Earlier I'd found a group of 3 tents and nicked a few very high ends. They disappeared from my tent after a day and were back in the old tent. I nicked em again and moved them to superb spot 2 km's away.- but back they went to the original owner. Thought it was map hackers but now not so sure. Then my tent had 3 SVD's plus 3x3 extra mags for it, plus 3 GPS's. Brain hurts.
