    Progression System in DayZ Standalone

    I did. If you're not talking about a 'point system' then why does it explicitly say: "#1 Points system: Points will be a currency type system..."

    What Are All The Controls For DayZ

    Go into your menu, find controls, go to infantry controls, and scroll through that. It will tell you EVERY control. I also recommend playing ArmA a bit as it will help tons.

    Bandit Tactics

    My MAIN tips, when fighting anyone whether it be 1v1, you 1v10, is simple. MOVE. After firing your first few shots, move your position RIGHT AWAY. If the enemy are in control of a certain position (e.g. Devils Castle) move atleast 200m. This way they'll be scanning where your shot came from and you can pop them from a completely different position. If they're on the move, you only have to move by about 50m after each shot/burst. This was they won't know where you'll be popping out of, and they'll just get scattered. __________________________________ If you sniping some place (i.e. the devils castle senario again) you don't need to be on the tree line! Setting yourself farther back in the trees makes you MUCH harder to hit, as most player just scan the tree line for snipers. If your farther back in the treeline, and only have say, a 10 degree F.o.V, you can always just watch that spot, or rotate around that line of sight, scoping in on different positions. When sniping never skyline. Skylining is laying ontop of a hill. When scanning the enemy will see you on the horizon, as your figure will stand out along the top of the ridge, hill, ect. Instead, move slightly more down the hill, or beside something such as a rock, where your figure will "blend in" more. ________________ If you have a light machine gun (i.e. the SAW), GO PRONE. So many times I have been attacked by a standing/crouching player with a machine gun, and they can't hit worth shit, due to the massive kick. Go prone, scope in, and DO NOT take your finger off the trigger. You want a long spray of lead death, not short bursts. My most important tip, is be patient. Wait until you have that shot, don't see a player and immediatly spray. Set things up! Best of luck P.S. I typed this from my phone, so I appologise for any spelling/grammar, or short forms!

    Progression System in DayZ Standalone

    Where do I begin? DayZ is designed to be a realistc, post-appocolyptic mod, simulator, game, whatever. Adding in a "point system" completely destroys the game. DayZ is designed to be a "game" where everyone is equal. People like you wishing to add in "point systems", classes and the like, are really frustrating me as this will obliterate the DayZ experiece. If you want a class based game, please, do us all a favour, and go back to CoD.
  6. Server Name: US2419 My Timezone: MST - Mountain Standard Time Date/Time: I was banned at approximately 10:30am on Jan 22, 2013. Administrators: Se7eN (Head Admin/One who gave me my ban), Sarge888 What Happened: Friends and I engaged in active, legitimate banditry on the server. In the end we discovered and destroyed multiple vehicles and tents. We also killed two members of the clan that owns this server. Our fun was interrupted by hackers and we spent time getting their names and such so we could report them to the server admins. The next day, a member, and friend of mine, discovered he was banned from their Teamspeak and server. I logged into their Teamspeak and personally addressed the head admin asking why my friend was banned from their server. His response was something along the lines of (This is not a quote, but it's from what I remember) "____ and the rest of your organization have been banned from our Teamspeak and game server for Teamkilling, and disrespect among some other things. The full list will be emailed to _____". I was then immediately banned from their Teamspeak. I then joined the server US2419 to attempt to contact an admin over direct chat and the second I was loaded into the game, I received an admin ban with no explanation. I filed for a ban appeal on their forums but received no response. As of now, the majority of members from our organization are banned from the server. Evidence: I was not thinking at the time to have a recording of my conversation with the head admin, but the following clip is me attempting to join their server and getting the administrator ban popup. P.S. The "____" are just to sensor names. Thanks,

    US2419 Admin Abuse/Random Bans

    Statik, Everyone associated with RSQ and ESU have been permanently banned from everything that TMW controls. This is more to distance ourselves from RSQ than it is to punish anyone. Many of us in TMW still would call several people from RSQ friends, but the fact is that I cannot allow certain people in your organization to continue to harrass TMW Members, both in game and on our forums. In my opinion, all this is coming dangerously close to cyber-bullying (for instance, I received a threat the other day) and I'd like to drop the whole matter before it becomes something serious. At the end of the day, this is a video game that we all like to play. I apologize that I can't let your organization play with mine, but there has simply been too much stress involved. Good luck and take care, _______ __________________________________________________________________________________ This is the email I received from the founder of this group sent to me, explaining the reasoning behind the mass ban. I must add, this so called threat he is talking about, was a threat directed towards him, his members, and their server in-game.
  8. Hey guys, so I have had my Tritton AXPro's for a while now, and it seems all my friends with $20 headsets have incredible hearing. For example, we will be doing something, and they will all hear a vehicle, and I won't until the last second. Any help? Thanks!

    DayZ Rescue is Recruiting!

    What is DayZ Rescue? DayZ Rescue (or RSQ) is an organization created by a group of experienced DayZ players. We have active players from all over the globe and are looking for any members, new to the game, or hardened vets. How do we operate? RSQ sticks to a firm policy of "don't fire unless fired upon". And god forbid they shoot at us, because we will stop at nothing to take a bandit down. If you're worried that will get you action, don't worry; if we spot a player, you can either go your marry own way, or attempt to make contact with the player. Is RSQ right for me? DayZ Rescue has zero tollerence for hackers, scripters, or unloyal players. DayZ Rescue has 3 primary roles, you can select one after you become a full fledged RSQ member. The roles are as follows: 1. Engineer - The engineer is the supply squad of RSQ, they set up many caches and camps throughout the map and fill RSQ's ranks with gear. 2. Security - RSQ Security is exactly what is sounds like. It's the squad of RSQ that specializes in finding the target, and putting them down. 3. Medic - The medic is the roll in RSQ that handles patients directly, they apply whatever needed, then they're extracted. Requirements: DayZ Rescue asks that you're over 15, if you proove yourself to be a mature individual, than exceptions can be made. You MUST not be a bandit, RSQ completely accepts reformed bandits, but the "shoot on sight" playstyle will not be accepted in RSQ unless on a specific operation, or are on a private hive other than the Vilayer or Bohemia hive. Training: RSQ has certain training courses that can help you qualify for ESU (ESU will be explained in a second). Our most popular is the helicopter training course. Experts in helo's will teach you the in's and out's of flying, whether it be combat menouvers, to stall-landings, or simply taking off and landing. RSQ is now working on a marksmanship course which will help all players in every aspect of combat. ESU: ESU (or Emergency Services Unit) is the elite group of RSQ members. They specialize in counter banditry, and SWAT like operations. They hit the enemy hard, fast, and are damn good at doing it. ESU has many high qualifications, but RSQ will help you reach those. Servers: RSQ has 3 servers. One server is on the Vilayer hive, which is similar to the Bohemia (public) hive, except it's larger! We have a private whitelisted server on the same hive used for training and just messing around. We also have a large public wasteland server! Questions? If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or are interested in joining, register on our forums (http://www.dayzrescue.com) or hop on our Teamspeak (64.31.13.66:4007). Just hop into any channel, introduce yourself and have fun! Hope to see some of you out there!

    DayZ Rescue is Recruiting!

    What's wrong with the roles? You're not stuck to your roll, you can really do whatever you want, your roll is just what your specialized in.

    US2419 Admin Abuse/Random Bans

    Yes, reasons were unknown. He said the reasons were "Teamkilling and disrespect". And when I attempt to join the Teamspeak it says exactly "You are banned permanently. Reason: "You have been banned for Teamkilling and disrespect." I could screen shot it if you would like, but that is only Teamspeak. EDIT: I don't know if this affects anything with the server report, but I attempted to log into the website and it said I am permanently banned and "Reason: ESU". (ESU is my clans tags). Our group has had interactions with this group in the past, and not all good. I feel this could play a strong part in why many of us are permanently banned from their TS, Website, and Public Server.

    Awesome castle-raid

    You guys kicked some serious ass. Nice work. Only complaint is the music is slightly too loud, but whatever.
  13. Okay, SO. First Person has a horrid field of view. Humans have a 180 F.O.V, while in game you have like 90. If you double tap the minus button on your num pad you sometimes "zoom out" a bit. Depending on your gun. I personally use Third person for a wider field of view, as 90 degree's is brutal. I still don't think they should take it out even if they don't fix the FOV. Why? Have you ever tried landing a heli in first person? Even with auto-hover it would be a joke. Plus, you have no visibility in mirrors in cars and so many blind spots.

    Character Classes

    Okay buddy. This is DayZ, a mod for ArmA 2, a first person shooter, war simulator, whatever you want to call it. A survival game. This is not a "class based" game like Call of Duty or WoW, so don't try to make it one.

    Downhill Development in DayZ

    No actually. I'm kinda done with our home server for the night, going to try some others, see if there's a difference.

    Downhill Development in DayZ

    I honestly don't know, I'm not an admin for our server or anything. But today I logged in, and when I was in a town, my FPS would go 10-15fps lower than usual because of all the zeds. That's why I am complaining about them.
  17. Statik (DayZ)

    Downhill Development in DayZ

    Okay, let's take loot respawns out of the game. Problem solved, no more farming... RIiight, now all you will EVER find will be empty cans. The game will be useless. The game will never be completely authentic, it's a video game, not real life. I've been playing DayZ since release pretty much. Zombies haven't even been an annoyance to me, they were just...there. But today I logged in to what seemed to be triple the amount of zombies, which was stupid. After playing today, it seems are are more zeds than there are houses...literally. If you do go for the whole zeds can run in houses and hit you in trees it will be stupid. I can see how the whole walking in houses, and not hitting in trees is in a way slightly overpowered, but without it, it would be horrid. It would be possible to find a nice medium, but if they don't it will be horrid. The only way to loose zeds will be to sprint through a field and turn around to spray that one that's insta-hitting you. Rinse and repeat. As for Seddrik's 2-3 hit comment, it wasn't he's getting killed in 2-3 hits, it's zombies are running up and hitting him 2-3 times before they even do the emote.

    Downhill Development in DayZ

    There about 5.25 million car wrecks a year in the US alone. I don't see why you need to be an asshole and tell him what has and what hasn't happened in his life. If you payed attention and weren't so focused on being a troll, you would notice that he was saying that DayZ shouldn't be turned into WarZ. He's sharing the idea of having a mindset of "I have 15 seconds to clear this building before I get blocked in" rather than "Well, I guess I should just sit in the corner and light 'em up like a Dutch brothel". I've been playing DayZ since release almost, and I've always felt that zombies needed a little something. It seems today, when I logged in, the zombie population has increased so much in size I've went from running 60fps in Berenzino, to 40fps. I'd rather a game where I have to carefully drop 4 or 5 stronger zombies, instead of sprinting into a house and holding the trigger on literally dozens of zombies. I don't know what they did, but I was in a Cherno (keep in mind I'm a fresh spawn with no zed kills) pub this morning and I had two agro. I went up the stairs and dropped them both with two quick head shots. I crouch run through the whole upstairs, grab what I want and go back towards the stairs, where I was greeted with a hoard of zeds. I checked the "I" menu after I left the pub. I went in with 0 kills, and came out with 17. That is ridiculous. The way DayZ is set up right now stealth is impossible. Literally. Your only hope is get a gun with a hell of a lot of ammo, corner yourself, and spray. Yes, it is. It's his suggestion to the dev team not to turn the SA into the catastrophic failure like joke of a game WarZ was. Things have changed for the worse in DayZ. First off, this new patch with zombies dragging you out of cars? Ummwhut? You can break a human bone with nine pounds of sudden pressure, can someone please explain to me how a rotten variant of the human hand can shatter automobile glass and drag a human out? Zombie Speed: No, just no. Since when can a ZOMBIE run as fast as an Olympian literally forever? Instant Hits: Apparently the idea of zombies running a few feet after they're killed was horrible. I have to admit it was annoying, but I'm not glad they "fixed" it. Instead of running after death now, zombies hit before they do the emote. I've had it numerous times where zombies run up, the second they are in range I magically take damage, then the zombie stops and swing. Utter bullshit if you ask me. Paper Mache Cars: I for one, have never been in an automobile accident. But I know people who have, and have seen them happen literally right in front of me. The fact that I can hit a knee high wooden fence and blow out a tire is ridiculous. Now that I think about it, I've hit a tree downhill bike racing going about 25 km/h. I snapped a break lever and cut my back. If an accident of the same level happened on DayZ, the car would explode, literally. Anther story is yesterday actually, I was driving to the NE airfield. I was in a white offroad going about 95-100 km/h. I went square over top of a hubcap that's off to the side of the rusted out truck prop. In any other game/situation I would've went clear over top, wouldn't even of hit it. Not in DayZ, everything somehow went red, the truck blew up, and I died. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to post it. Thanks for reading.

    How do I read server logs?

    Hey guys, So I am very interested in becoming admin on my home server. Problem is I have absolutely no idea how to read the server logs. I looked online and can't really find anything. If anyone could direct me to somewhere that shows how to read logs/pick out hackers in the logs, or just explain some stuff here, that would be fantastic! Thanks a bunch!

    DayZ Cinematic

    Very well done! I felt like a bunch of it wasn't really DayZ (More ArmA) but it does in fact almost resemble the first few days of the outbreak. Amazing job!
  22. Statik (DayZ)

    Large Ships, boats and freighters

    I smell one thing, and one thing only. Car parts galore. This would actually be an outstanding idea. The freighters shouldn't be drivable, but if they had a shit ton of industrial loot it would be outstanding. It would also be great if they had narrow corridors (with lots of twists and turns) all the way through the ship with loot spawns along the way. This could also make things quite dangerous, as zeds can make a huge choke point making it quite deadly (even if they can still only run.).
  23. Statik (DayZ)

    Why did they nerf the DMR?

    Like people said, it's still a two hit kill. If you hit them in the head, still a one hit. Plus, one shot will most likely knock them out. Also, they did "nerf" the AS50 (and M107) in a way, it's spawn rate is now 0.01% (I believe the M107 is 0.02%). And the DMR was better than the M24, because the DMR is semi-auto, whilst the M24 is bolt action oriented. And the icing on the cake was the DMR is compatible with NV Goggles, where no other sniper is the game is. I have seen nothing in the changelogs, or anywhere for that matter that the DMR is being nerfed. Even if it is I'm not all that concerned, because 6k blood is still a whack of damage, and I always put 2-3 bullets in my targets anyways, so it's not really going to affect anything.
  24. *HEALED* I met up with Bullet, things worked out great, and he even got a free M24 out of it. Good luck Bullet. ;)
  25. I am also very close to your location and can help you out. And I added you on steam as well.
