Yep same old story, when i first started playing, i was like all the noobs with their declaration of "friendly," only to be shot 2 seconds later. Its getting a bit old tbh

NZ servers have gone to hell in terms of hackers, but that's life. What would make the problem better is if Aus/NZ players had more servers to choose from. People say US have more servers because they have a higher population. True, and fair enough. There are approx 311 million people living in the US opposed to the 30 million people living in Aus and NZ combined. US have about 900 plus servers. NZ and Aus have 15 in total. So yes, US may have a MUCH higher population, however they have more than 900 servers for their population. We only have 15. So in short, Americas population is about 10 times the size of our own. So why do they have 60 times more servers then we do? If we simply had more servers, the chance of being attacked by hackers would be far less likely. That and our servers are often flooded by US players who don't want to play at night. PS: Our countries have bad internet so any other servers overseas have around 200+ ping.

Hmm, has anyone considered new players spawning in the debug plains with no compass...... could be very time consuming.....

Thus any choppers you see are hacked.

Come on the TS we can give you all the info you need. We probably shouldn't broadcast too much info on forums :)

Guys like these gives us other snipers a bad name. Nice work :)

Were still going strong guys, feel free to join us! We are here just to have fun, and don't take things TOO seriously. However if you decide to join up with, just remember to say hi when you come on, introduce yourself etc. We are a little bit paranoid about being infiltrated again. Anyway, hope to see you all there. Iv got trial exams coming up so Ill be on a little less in the coming weeks. -Doug

Chances of finding anti material rifles in the middle of a once war ravaged state? More likely than you would think.

NO. Trust me, if you have a sniper rifle in your hands and you take the shot on a player, you want them dead. There is no way a sniper would shoot a player, knock him/her out, and then spare their lives. I wouldn't do it, and a very small % of players would. Im the sniper for my team armed with an AS50. When i shoot at a player, i want them to die, instantly. Not have them knocked out so i have the opportunity to show mercy, it would only cause frustration of me firing another round into them. The guns would exist in a real apocalypse, so they should exist in the game. Snipers shoot to kill, not wound.

nope, i disagree, a full wipe would be completely pointless, what would it be testing? If you want quick results, keep all the gear/Cars etc the way they are. That way, if there are problems say with a bus, we would know basically immediately, if there is a full wipe, players would need to reacquire vehicles before they could be tested, wasting time in the process. That and there is no need for a reset, how will a reset speed up the testing process?

The roll back bugs are what most annoy me. More often than not, scheduled saves don't work, so your character only saves when you abort. For example, today, some friends and I spent an hour and a bit raiding the NW airfield. It was a success and we were running through the trees when the server crashed. Our characters were rolled back at least 2 hours. All the loot we obtained from the airfield was gone. But oh well, thats life, still an amazing mod and i will continue to play and enjoy it despite these issues.

By eating canned foods (200 blood per can), eating steak (800 blood per stake) or getting another player to give you a blood transfusion (restores blood to 12000)

I think taking out blood bags would be a very bad idea, aside from what BIGred has already said, blood bags encourage coop play.

I also have bought the game of steam, and i have been turned into a bird 3 times in total, but its only a bug, just abort when it happens.

If all fails, join canada 2, it spawns you on the edge of the map.

Hey guys, Im basically asking whether or not i need to consider wind direction when sniping in dayZ.

I kill on sight, if some1 says "im friendly" shoot them anyway because 9 times out of 10, they will see your superior equipment and makrov you to the head. Believe me, i learnt the hard way. So get out there and light them up. Because after all, a dead man cant shoot back.

bump, as requested.

were on now, if u want to join

Iv been solo surviving for as long as iv had this game, i may have a look :) EDIT: Im online now, doesn't seem to be anyone here atm though

Basically what im asking, is how many murders do you need to commit to actually be considered a bandit by Dayz. To be more specific, how many murders do you need to commit in-order to be put down as a bandit kill rather then a murder when someone kills you?

good question, i actually don't know. haha

Hi, the subject is basically what I need to know. I know thats its probably a noob question, but i would like to know for sure. If I buy two copies of Arma II Send one to my brothers steam account as a gift and keep the other for myself, can he and I both play Dayz under separate characters? Thus play together?

Sry toilet, ill stop.

lolololoLOolololOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Go to church old man. Ouch good one. PS: Dont believe in god, and im 17 (but i guess thats old compared to you) So your 17 telling people to grow up. lrtolrtlaorlto you must be new here. Nah, im just telling you to grow up :)
