You can keep the gun. The scripters are the ones who will be banned, not some hapless dude who happened upon their sw33t l00tzor

Anybody have any confirmation on choppers being added back in?

I'm starting to love killing elektro hill snipers, they all go up there with their shiny AS50s and coyote backpacks. From my hidey-hole I can see the whole damn hill and they always run around like chickens with their heads chopped off after I pop one or two. Most DC, but the occasional ones I kill are all too sweet, especially after they've racked up a few noob kills and lulled themselves into a sense of security.

So you hacked and got banned. Sorry for your shocking epiphany, but you failed the age old DayZ test of willpower. Most players die and pick themselves back up on the shore to start anew, while you asked the internet for a handout so the game could be fun again. DayZ gives everyone a shitty deal almost every day, next time if you want to take out some stress get yourself a hatchet in elektro and kill some fools

Perhaps those currently running the fort should consider moving it into a building, such as the TEC building inside elektro. A good amount of space, limited entrances, plenty of cover unless someone comes at you with a rocket launcher.

Haha your jumpy sniper murdered the fuck out of our two almost unarmed friends who we were trying to gear out, and our other buddy was domed by one of your buddies before our overwatch took him down. We were just seeing if there was a trading proposition set up in the fort, didn't want to go in blazing. Oh and the dude who said friendly, were you unarmed and running towards us? I domed you because you began to loot our buddy's body and I figured you were part of the group shooting at us so I didn't exactly want you getting a gun, sorry 8(. We died to a hacker on another server so we can't return any of this gear, but perhaps we can set up some trading relations in the future for some high tier weapons. Again, sorry for the misunderstanding and slaughter on both sides.

My group and I went into the compound and found a bandit force of about 3, we wiped them out and grabbed their loot. Dunno if it was the "security guards" who are supposed to be friendly but we killed them and took their coyote backpacks and NVGs. We also saw a shit ton of dead bodies inside so I'm starting to think this was a trap set up to kill innocent players

Laughed my ass off, this is great. Best part was reading the "SNIPER" in command chat as blood gushed out of his face

That was fucking hilarious, justice AX STYLE

Not moving or looking in my direction? Move along. Should he get up and sprint in my direction I'll kneecap him and run.

This is literally an unfinished game, it's not a polished product you beg your mommy to get for you from gamestop. If you expected this to be Battlefield 3.5: ZOMBIES! then tough shit. You're meant to find these glitches and report them so that the devs can tweak and fix them, this isn't here solely for your enjoyment you entitled prick. Next time try and investigate a little before you come running to the boards and crying your eyes out as if some bully just took your lunch money.

Amazing roflmao, wish hackers would try to "rescue" me like that 8(

Satchel charges are legit, but their pervasiveness is purely due to duping glitches. if you find a camp with 3 or 4 they're almost assuredly duped and you should destroy the camp.

I once made a pilgrimage to Green Mountain in hopes of bountiful loot and armored vehicles. As I approached the gates I thought "odd, there's not even a single zombie here, only dead soldiers...." Mere meters into the perimeter as I checked each building's doors to see whether they were locked or not, a terrible growl emanated from within the radio tower.... Zombies began shambling from its hellish doorway and locked their flesh hungry eyes on me. Frozen in place, I stared in horror as these monstrosities gathered in immense numbers.... a couple, five, a dozen, two dozen! Suddenly I heard a sickening *CRRRRUNCH* as my legs were broken, and my meager weapons were helpless to fend off the horde as I watched them horde around me, my warm flesh already dripping from their broken, rotten teeth.

I've had some friendships break out from simply deciding not to shoot another guy in the face, but those were back in the days of makaroni spawns and side chat. Now, on my way through Cherno I'm greeted by Portugese over direct chat and ax wielding murderous fiends hacking anything that moves. Even up north, I was around stary just chilling in a treeline when a shot rang out and broke my legs. I had my binocs out, not a sniper rifle like some doom seeking bandit, yet someone saw fit to murder me for my czech backpack and winchester even though I was shot with an ak74. The paranoia has grown to a critical mass, and the void left by side chat's removal has given everyone the exact probable cause they needed to satisfy the sociopath itching at their brains.

It definitely isn't too big, as often I'll be running through the wilderness and up to towns only to find all the signs of recent player activity. Wandering zombies, dead zombies, abnormal weapons in loot spots... It's all about chance, I've run through a tiny town like Myshkino and seen 3 people, conversely I've gone to stary sobor for about 3 hours and not seen a single player. The argument that the map is too empty is valid, as the majority of the topography is littered with forests and closed off buildings, leaving high loot areas such as elektro or NWAF ridiculously populated across almost all servers. Adding in a more spread reserve of loot spawning areas would decrease the tendency for players to flock towards these high loot areas.

I like the AK74 better as I don't do a lot of long range fighting, but the AK74 is closer to the rifle/sniper rifle gradient than the faster Ak74 variant. The AKM has let me down before, but that was probably due to lag or some other bullshit, while the 74 has served me well time and time again. Although neither beats my delicious M4a3 CCO...

The winchester is still a very apt gun for killing players, as often I've been hit by it once in the body, or shot someone once in the chest at medium range and had them keel over and die. It's powerful due to its use of slugs, and its quietness is definitely a bonus. The enfield is ridiculously powerful against players, but like everyone and their mother knows, if you shoot it within a 150 mile radius of a town, you will quickly observe a hungry zombie convention taking place on your face.

You wont get banned for using the weapon, nor will a magic genie immediately appear and say "UR A HAKUR DYE!" and blow you up. Go ahead and shoot a few people with it for fun, but I'd suggest dropping it for a legitimate gun to keep in the good spirits of the game.

I was in some random small town with only one enter-able building, when I noticed something strange. The building's back porch was roughly half a meter in the air. I thought nothing of it and tried to vault in, hoping to find a shiny new 1911 or maybe even a map. As my legs swung over the gap, I was suddenly transported to the twilight zone. Half my body was in some ungodly abyss reserved for those sent to the most feared circles of hell, while the top of my character dangled helplessly out of the floor of the building. My back was snapped instantly, and I fell through the floor foaming at the mouth as crawling zombies came from the darkness to finish off my paralyzed character. Such is life in DayZ

Yeah mine has been broken too. Shame, because in my off time from DayZ I liked to screw around with the guns and vehicles. Oh well.

I've literally spent two days doing nothing but running in the wilderness before, and have had firefights last throughout the night. DayZ is incredibly random, but if you have the patience to stick around and seek out those thrills it's incredibly worth it. I bought Arma 2:CO exclusively for DayZ and my steam has tracked over 169 hours played in the span of two or three weeks. That alone should be testament to this game's immense content and value.

If it's in a city like elektro, I haul ass around until I find a makaroni, then head for the general store. If there's some sad sap in the general store with his mind on the loot instead of the door, I pop him (if he doesn't respond to my "ARE YOU FRIENDLY!?") and boom, instant survival gear

Hack the server with a nuke so everyone is just as mad as me, then alt+f4 as I cry to my mommy about how the big bad DayZ ruined my summer vacation. In all seriousness, I set myself on an epic 2 month journey back to the closest hospital with only my arms as propulsion. Usually it ends with 30 zombies feasting on my still-warm crotch.

Loot cycling is perfectly acceptable, at least more-so than duping or being a filthy hacker. It actually takes work and involves a great deal of risk, instead of sitting in some precious mountain side tent city duping high value items. Plus, you're still subjected to chance, as there is no guarantee good loot will ever spawn in the farmed pile.
