Statik (DayZ)

Or he could have this magical thing called a L85A2 AWS. Or even more magical, he could have looked down his sites.

No. What they need to do is decrease all loot spawns.

I would think that inland would be safer. People do swim out to the island sometimes and server hop looking for camps. Also when you are driving to shore in a boat you are A LOT more vulnerable then if you are in a vehicle (in a car you are able to drive into cover). Plus only 3 boats spawn per map. Making it A LOT harder to find. And the fishing boats are damn near useless because they are about the same speed as swimming. So I would go with Inland ANY day of the week. And I would recommend slightly inland somewhere between Cherno and Elektro.

FAL does 8000 and AKM does 4500

The AKM does 4500 blood per bullet, but has less kick and is quieter than the FN FAL. The FN FAL does a kick ass 8000 blood per bullet (yes that's a two bullet kill). But on the downside the FN FAL has a decent amount of kick and is significantly louder than the AKM. I would personally go with the FN FAL because of its power. But if I had a choice I would always take a M14 AIM because it too does 8000 blood but it has a CCO sight, and has less kick.

Well you were only in Elekro. You can only get stuff like AKMs, M4A1s and crap like that, which you can get back very fast. It would be A LOT more of a fail if you had a setup somewhat like L85A2 AWS and M107 and run into a outhouse and die. But still. NICE MOVE MAN. :D

If someone ever said to me "I have good stuff, but I'm hurt, please help". I would do one of two things, depending on my mood. I would either shoot you and loot you for all you're worth. Or two, I would shoot you in the legs, take your morphine, bandage you up, and leave you in the middle of no where. So since you posted this you better watch out, because people might try to get to you over the forums and kill you. You're better off to (depending on the extent of your injuries) break into a hospital on a low pop server (or med-high pop if you want to have some fun) and patch up. Zombies can't go into the bottom of a hospital, so just shoot (or throw a can at) the FAR LEFT window at a hospital. Run in heal up, pop the zombies, and get the hell outta town. This is where having a small camp with things like medical supplies can come in helpful. Good luck.

Players can change the name to their DayZ account whenever they please. So this pretty much proves that someone hacked something in. They cannot do anything about it because he easily could have changed his name to anything.

What the hell is a hedgehog? I'm lost..

Just drink it and be done with it. If you are playing with friends/a group, go ahead a brag about it to get your 5 minutes of fame. But after that, its just another can of pop.

Global Ban means that you have been banned from all DayZ servers world wide. It usually happens to players who hack or script. If you have been hacking or scripting then that's your reason right there. You cannot get banned for things like exploiting (e.g. duping). The only thing I can think of that would have gotten you banned is the fact that you were hacking or scripting. Or possibly you bought the CD key of a Global Banned account. That is if you bought another CD key.

So I was reading in rockets 1.7.2.6 changelog that bear traps have a chance to spawn on infected hunters. What the hell is an infected hunter? Never heard of them before. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Hey guys, So I was playing earlier. When somehow my tractor glitched out inside a tree and caught fire. I jumped out and ran to another camp to grab the UAZ of another clan friend. I was loading some stuff into it, when I hear the crack of shots. I turn around and there is another playing in this complete decolate spot. There was only me and him on the server. I dumped a full M4A3 mag into his chest at 10 feet and he still killed me. I know you can change names super easily. But if you guys get someone on your server named REDSTAR. I recommend you watch out because he is using Maphack and possibly teleport and possible godmode. I just respawned in Drakon and was running to Elektro when I hear a chopper (we did not have a chopper). He then flipped the chopper upide down and plunged toward the ground killing me instantly. He proceeded to fly away.

Hey guys, So earlier I got onto my clans home server no problem (Using 1.7.2.5). I updated to 1.7.2.6 and had to downgrade because it kept flashing I had the wrong version. Later I went on my good computer and tried to log in. it just jams at the black "loading" screen with the bar above it full. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated! P.S. I am using DayZ Commander

nevermind figured it out

I don't even know if this should be implemented into the game, or if people (me included) would even enjoy it. But as some of you might know, throughout the world there are people who are "preppers". A prepper is basically someone who is preparing for when the shit hits the fan. Me and a few clan buddies (mostly jokingly) tossed around the idea of adding preppers to DayZ. What me mean by this is making there be a slight chance, where you spawn on the coast, or maybe even inland up to say.. 500m at a barn. You would also spawn say with a Revolver and/or something like a Double Barrel (you don't spawn with much ammo though). You could also spawn with say 2-3 bandages, flares, food and a water bottle. And maybe even something like a Czech backpack. I am completely open on idea's on what "bonuses" this prepper could have. I don't want to give the prepper anything that will give them a very big advantage over other players, but a slight edge on survival and against zeds. I also don't want to make anything too complicated, because I don't know about you guys, but one of the reasons I like DayZ is because of its simplicity.

That could also be cool. But they would have to be exceedingly rare (2-3 per server). They could be like heli crashes, but just a concrete roof sticking slightly out of the ground. They could spawn the same stuff as heli crashes, but spawn more items. They could also implement 4-5 zombies inside/in the imediate area (could be infected looters, or the bunker occupants).

What this game needs is LESS military spawns. There is too many as it is. And less will probably be better.

But you make the chances so slim they would have to do it for hours. And it wouldn't be worth it then because your advantage isn't that huge.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Rocket stated that no NPC survivors will be added to this PLAYER-DRIVEN SANDBOX GAME. Something like this should NEVER, for the sake of DayZ be implemented in this game. I just can't find words to describe how much this would ruin the game. And like some people have stated, the only thing that would happen is it would get filled with snipers and when you get within 600m of this "trading" post you will get lit up like a Christmas tree. P.S. In a real Zombie Apocalypse who would set up these trading posts? The government sure as hell wouldn't. Their first concern would be getting the virus under control, not allowing survivors to trade in a "safe environment". One of the things that I love about DayZ is its pure simplicity, it's just loot and do survive however the hell you want/can. Adding a trading system would have to involve a currency system which would immensely complicate the game. And on a side note, I feel that any games that have a NPC text chat box takes the realism right out of the game.

I am a bandit. But for the sake of this game I did not vote for a weapon. I am by no means nagging about your post. Its actually quite interesting. But I think if Rocket did do something where you start out with something like a AKM or Winchester the survival aspect of DayZ would be completely gone. Towns like Cherno and Elektro would become bigger orgies then they already are on high pop servers.

Welcome to the dark side. Friend.

How the hell is it more likely to get you killed? First off all hiding bodies is in no way shape or form a dick move. Its a strategic move. If you leave the body there because it's a "dick move" you are more likely to get killed because nothing more draws attention in DayZ like a dead player.

You can't relate CoD and BF to DayZ. They are not even remotely similar. In CoD and BF the objective of the game is to kill other players. It is a necessity to win. In DayZ the overlying goal is to survive. And a lot of people find it necessary to take out anyone that could possibly be a threat. Hence the bandit way of life. P.S. If nobody played bandit style how fun would DayZ really be? Weather you're going to admit it or not, bandits add a whole new dimension to the game and DayZ would not be the same without them.

Thanks guys!
