I hope this doesnt get lost in all the replies to this thread and i hope i am not just repeating something someone else already said: I have had a problem with bear traps. I set one, but didnt like where it was so i picked it up and moved it somewhere else. The problem is when i walked over the original spot i had set it, it broke my leg--even though it wasnt there anymore--. I used some morphine and walked back to the spot to investigate and it happened again. It reminds me of the tent bug, where you can place one, move it and the original placement respawns as well as the new placement.

i tried adding you on steam, but there are hundreds of bidoings, apparently that must be some kind of pop culture word i am unaware of. im looking for friendlies too

Has anyone else noticed that 95% of servers are daytime? I wasnt sure if this was real or i was imagining it, but then one day i was in a server and ran into the admin. we joined forces and as soon as it started getting dark he was like, '' well, its about time to reset the server. I dont like the dark'' i think there might be a mass conspiracy out there to never be left in the darkness. Is this something most people like or dislike? i had gotten to the point where i like darkness better, but its been weeks since i was actually in a server during night.

i dont think anyone has forgotten that this is alpha, people are just frustrated when they lose stuff. Dont tell me you dont get upset when you finally get all the good gear with an awesome gun and a coyote backpack and some guy kills you in some random encounter. If you think a forum is not place to post your frustrations then you must be new to the internet, welcome

no downloading it now is not worth it, wait for hotfix. Im sure it will be perfect by 1.7.2.5

Getting stuck at waiting for character to create screen... anyone else?

I was looking around and cant find the answer. How do i report someone that is cheating? Im not just talking about someone disconnecting after i shoot them. I was killed in one server by both a tank and an apache helicopter. Both of which i heard are not supposed to be in DayZ. If those vehicles are allowed in DayZ then i am sorry for making this thread and looking stupid.

So i have been killed 3 times in a row during situations i do not think i would normally get shot. With no weapon, I say i am friendly on direct chat and then i get shot. No one is responding to me in direct chat. I think maybe this is because i updated to the most recent beta for arma 2 which requires a password all of a sudden. So maybe others are not updating. since there is no side chat, this puts people at a real disadvantage when they are friendly. My suggestion to fix the problem, since it has to do with beta instead of dayz(maybe, i dont really know), is to enable side chat until this beta business is all taken care of. I enjoy the disabled side chat, and ive enjoyed the times on direct chat when it works, but the beta keeps getting updated and there is no guarantee that the people on your server are using the same beta, so when direct chat doesnt work and side chat is unavailable-it discourages co-op play. Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

another +1 on the hostile wildlife!!! this would be...well.. awesome!

fog, in RL, does not increase audibility. if anything it just decreases vision. I understand your thought process, and seems good in theory, but the affects of the water molecules in the air is negligible in relation to sound. -I am a scientist

point taken. i appreciate your feedback everyone. I'll keep trying until i find some other friendlies out there

lol. ok so it was just bad luck then on my part?

i do have a microphone, and it worked back when i had beta93825... I think the problem is that direct chat only works when people have the same beta and arma decided out of the blue to password protect their beta downloads, so my guess is a lot of people arent downloading it. Like i said in the original post, i enjoy not having side chat, but only when direct chat is working, and since the arma2 beta is separate thatn the dayz mod, its messing this aspect up for me. I guess what im hoping to get out of this thread is for that password protection to be taken off the arma 2 beta... seriously...are they worried that people who havent bought arma 2 are trying to download it for illegal purposes?

LOL' date=' well its a good point, at least i think so. if you are defending such actions, which i assume you are, how do you justify killing newly spawned unarmed players? is it just for sport or are you addicted to painkillers?:s [/quote'] i dunno, but it makes me feel bad at first but then i kinda got addicted to causing pain. its like you hold the power over someone which determines his life and death. cant do that in real life lol ...unless you beat your wife It would be cooler if instead of killing them, you stalked them, waited for them to find food or something else you needed then you kill them for it. Luck hunting people. At least there would be a reason for it other than whatever overcompensation complex you are going through right now

I thin there should be some sort of protocol for naming your server. It would help me out a bunch, and I'm sure others would appreciate it too. Some already do this but i feel it is more important to state time zone, difficulty, and version than it is the location. so a good server has a name like: US420(1.7.1.5/beta 93965) (gmt-5) REGULAR Bad server name: Dallas69 [AGC] Awesome Gun Clan Server!! a good server tells you everything you need to know. Sometimes i want to play in the dark, and other times in the light. its good to know if there are going to be cross hairs or player ID's. its especially nice to know you have the same patch and beta as the server. I feel these are all important things to know before entering, that way people wont log in--see that its night and log out, i dont know if its true but i hear that kind of repeated behavior causes lag issues. So server hosts, do everyone a favor please, and let us know what kind of room we are about to enter.

LOL, well its a good point, at least i think so. if you are defending such actions, which i assume you are, how do you justify killing newly spawned unarmed players? is it just for sport or are you addicted to painkillers?:s

well, if i have good loot and I am inland, like say...stary sober, and someone begs me to spare their life- no, i would shoot them on sight. but unarmed players on the coast...yes, i would never kill them. If you kill an unarmed man it makes you an asshole. not because you killed someone, but because sometimes its a pain to disconnect-reconnect and spawn in a decent location. So if you kill someone with nothing to gain for yourself, it means you are a jerk. its kind of the equivalent of beating your wife...does hitting on a defenseless woman really make you feel like a strong man?

Does anyone know if heinz, coke and pepsi are funding this game?? lol and maybe mountain dew too, but just not as much money??

lol, i didn't even think of all the name brand weapons. I suppose rocket should be expecting a check from communist russia some time in the near future..

this is utterly terrible, 5 minutes in some servers... i can deal with a 30 minute find the right server that works befoer you actually play thing, but getting a crash in every single room i go into after 5 to 15 minutes is torturous but i cant stop trying because i like this game so much

Same thing happening to me, and most everyone ive talked to. 10 minutes of play, then crash
