  1. Good riddance, he hasn't done shit so far. Hopefully BI made enough money to hire some people who know how clipping should work. And yes, this is a classic "gimme your money, bye" just sugar coated in Rocket's usual "humble" and "honest" way of putting things.
  2. Shiiiett.. We're in as well. We have a little group of 5-6 people always playing together. When is this happening?

    Some questions

    Thanks guys, I'll give those suggestions a try. When you say check server IP, is there a way to get the information for the server you're already on? Some kind of a command or something?

    Some questions

    I've been playing the mod from 2012, got SA on day one, but there are a few things I don't understand yet. If people who know could answer these simple questions, I'll be grateful. 1. Regular vs Hardcore: I've seen people claim they have 2 chars on one account, one "regular" and one "hardcore". Regardless of what server I join, it's the same character for me, with the same gear. What am I missing? 2. Playing with friends from overseas: We have a friend who lives in Ukraine, who we recently got into DayZ. However, there's a very few servers we can play together on. If we join any server on this side of the planet, he can't see us in his friends tab. Trying to join through steam, gives him "server not responding". If we join on him, regardless of what the server he is on, we start with new chars. There's literally 1 server that we found where everyone's gear seems to carry through, and that particular server is very unstable. Random restarts every 30 or so minutes, and high ping for everyone (we have people from the US, Aus, Canada, and Ukraine). 3. Sickness: My previous character, who was alive for 9 days (ironically, got blasted into the stratosphere for the audacity of trying to use a ladder) was sick for a week. Never been shot, hurt by a zombie or consumed anything bad. Survived on canned food and drinks the entire time, just got sick. Nothing we tried fixed it. And we tried everything from charcoal tabs to painkillers, to antibiotics, to vitamins. Also, never been in water, jumped from a high place or anything like that. Always properly dressed (warm clothing and stuff). It's obviously too late for him, but I keep pondering what the hell was wrong with him. Was it just a glitch, or did he have a mental disorder or smth. lol. 4. Eating/Drinking: What's the best way of eating/drinking in SA? Here's my problem. If I'm holding a weapon, and I start eating, he put the gun away, eats 25%, re-equips the gun, puts the gun away, eats another 25%, and so on. If I put the gun away manually, before I eat, 99% of the time I get a message "you're already using something". So I have to keep spamming the button till he finally realizes that I'm not kidding and starts eating. This method is slower than waiting for the gun equip/unequip animation. Now, if I put my gun away, take whatever I'm about to eat in my hand, and try to eat, nothing happens. I have 20-25 ping, over 400 bandwidth, 0 desynch. Nothing happens. He just stays there staring at the open can. I have to again, spam the command for him to realize he has to start listening before he passes out. So, in short, the fastest way for me is the first way, by holding a gun and eating that way. There's gotta be something I'm doing wrong. Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for your time. -V-
  5. He might be mad, but he has a point. Actually, a lot of good points.
  6. Sweet. 2 hackers were teleporting next to me trying to get me to give them blood and killing me for not complying. After 4 tries, (I spawn, they appear, try to restrain me) One guy glitched and I was able to knock the other guys out with my fists. lol. Took all his gear (he was fully kitted) and logged off. It was fun.
  7. I think the entire system is broken. I found a canteen, got water from the pond, used the kit to purify it, drank 4 times until I got the green message. Ate a fresh banana, got the green message. Haven't got the message that I'm tired yet. I walk literally 10 feet and I'm already hungry and thirsty. If it's working as intended, it makes absolutely no sense.
  8. Hi everyone, been playing the game since it hit Steam, and I have well over 1000 hours into the mod, so I'm used to shitty performance. However, the standalone runs worse than the mod on my PC for some reason (the general consensus seems to be the opposite). So, if anyone has any performance tweaks, please share them. Especially with the new building they put in, my framerate drops below 30, and regardless of what setting I play with (in game) it doesn't seem to make any difference. Yes, I know it's not finished. Yes I know it's alpha and this sort of thing is expected. No, I am not complaining. Just asking if anyone has discovered some tricks/tweaks to improve performance. From what I can tell it has to do with the "invisible draw distance", in other words, if I face a big city, or the new tall building, even if I can't see them, it seems as though the game is drawing them anyway for some reason. My rig is no longer top tier as it was a few years ago, but I feel as though I should be getting better frames. Here's the relevant specs: 1100T 6 core at 4GHz (overclocked, watercooled) 6970 2GB 8GB DDR3 1600 Thanks in advance for any tips.
  9. Yeah, and the Admin is working hard to sort out the remaining issues. Truly outstanding server, I recommend everyone to join. (V)
  10. EDIT: Everything has been now sorted. My friend and I started playing on your server a few days ago, and the people on there are really nice (namely Great White and his clan mates) but our characters got wiped 3 days in a row. What exactly is going on? Other than that it seems like a great server.

    New to DayZ, help needed.

    Thank you guys for the helpful replies and PMs. You guys rock! Amazing community.
  12. Hello everyone, after much reading, I decided to get DayZ and get my friends playing with me. It's 3 of us, all new to ARMA and DayZ. Normally, I wouldn't make threads like this, but this time, reading and researching has provided some very mixed results and I would greatly appreciate if you could take a moment and point me in the right direction. So far, we've figured out how to install Arma2, the required expansions (Arrowhead and Private Military Company for the better textures) DayZ Commander and all the tweaks and updates to get the game working. We played for a day, on different servers, trying to find something suitable for us. This is where our issue begins. DayZ commander made filtering servers easier, but we're still having problems finding a "home". What we want is basically the vanilla DayZ experience. As in, a stable server that we can return to every night and play. We found a few "noob friendly" servers, but unfortunately they all have their problems. One was like being in a bar full of kids, with 20+ people chatting in the side channel (voice) which killed the atmosphere. The other kept kicking one of my friends for having the wrong DayZ version, even though that was not the case. Another was full of bandits, that knew where we spawned every single time, and they would hunt us down and kill us for the heck of it. I guess what I'm asking for is a normal, safe server, with normal people on, with no modifications. We all start with nothing, (or maybe just a map so we can find eachother) so we can experience DayZ how it's meant to be experienced. I've read these forums enough to know that it's not a good idea to ask for good servers on here, since that would be like telling the a-holes what to raid next, so if anyone has suggestions, you can PM me if it's not too much trouble. (we're located on the west coast, SoCal and Washington State) Also, if you guys have any "pro tips" for a noob group such as my friends and I, please feel free to share them. Thank you very much for reading and helping out in advance.
