By no means am I speaking for NwO, but attempting an unbias counter argument NwO's servers are generally under siege 24/7, if it's not someone raiding their camp, it's someone using killscripts, hacks, etc. When constantly being attacked, doing ops, etc, people are on edge, and sadly some people end up at the wrong place at the wrong time and a split second decision has to be made. Yes, sometimes unfortunately they may kill on sight? Why A) They see x person conspiring with person on said kill on sight list B) They call friendly, and no response C) They wander a tad bit close to somewhere they don't want to be. Their RoE is pretty strict, and generally it is followed. They don't just kill everyone they see, almost all people who hop in our teamspeak are given a chance to play with them (NwO or no affiliiation), and are considered friendly. By no means I am calling offense, but can you vouch that all 300+ of your members are perfect shining knights?

Press I, usually it brings up the server name on the top off the most kills list, not always though...

Post why, try to keep it clean-ish... Hopefully this should be a somewhat venting thread / constructive criticism for the DayZ team... inb4 this is an alpha 1) I lose more of my gear to the updates than I do to other players 2) The updates generally break things more than they fix. 3) Some of the updates seem a bit overdone (IE; buffing zombies, while taking away starting guns all in the same patch) 4) No real/clear installation instructions / or a updated thread on how to install things properly (I have to walk most of my friends through the installation process step by step)

I suppose, I should of elaborated the first post more... but > 1) I lose more of my gear to the updates than I do to other players I don't mind dying, even if I died more, but to go out kill/farm, logoff and the next morning your loot is gone because of a patch? It's disheartening for me. Possible fix: Have a beta servers for the alpha? lololol Lately from what i've gathered the DayZ team wants to keep all the servers completely up to date. Keeping all the servers up to date would just cause more people raging about losing their loot. > 2 ) The updates generally break things more than they fix. Alpha is for pushing code, yes, but I hate programming and would rather spend time trying to have it as stable as possible instead of having to review it over and over trying to find what I did wrong. > 3) Some of the updates seem a bit overdone (IE; buffing zombies, while taking away starting guns all in the same patch) Yes, this is an alpha, but this is also a marketing product for Rocket, whether or not it is user friendly can have a significant change of users who will buy the (If there is ever a standalone, the ARMA3 DayZ mod, etc) The flocking of new players to the game, with infinite zombie spawns, no weapon to kill them with, etc instantly turns people off and gives the game a bad rep. > 4) No real/clear installation instructions / or a updated thread on how to install things properly (I have to walk most of my friends through the installation process step by step) Their would be less threads on "WHY IS THIS NOT INSTALLING CORRECTLY" if their was one stickied thread with links to each individual fix for all the information that a player needed to install the game correctly whether it be through Steam, Six Launcher, Retail, etc. Asdfghjkl;. i've clearly made enough people hate me, but I figured i'd at least attempt to clear my conscious of why I feel about the things that I do

> He works like a slave around the clock, perhaps you could be a bit more considerate for his sake. As far as I know he's the only coder on Day Z's team. He is doing his damn hardest to fix everything and provide new content for this alpha so we may all enjoy our time here. There's no need to give him crap for it. By no means, am I ungrateful, the title was suppose to have been taken light heartedly, but I never actually knew how on edge the community actually was. From my point of view, i'm not necessarily giving him crap, but trying to provoke a constructive (failed miserably lolol) response from the community of ways they would like to see the game possibly be developed without forcing it down Rockets throat.

Possibly, yes about the released title, but isn't it much more logical to take the time release a stabler hotfix than a string of what, 4 hotfixes in the last 3 days? By the end of the day he's just broken more things which he may choose not to keep in the game later.

Again, sir you've missed my point More or less what i'm trying to get at is the way to implement those ideas, not suggestions themself. I'd take less updates over a longer period of time that were more stable and and well thought out.

Too many of you are on the "THIS IS AN ALPHA BANDWAGON RAWRRRRRRRR IM A PIRATE MEAN AND FIESTY" If you'd stop and think for a minute before you post you'd realize i'm trying to rattle your brains for ideas to help out the devteam make the alpha a ... wait what... A BETTER ALPHA FOR YOU... but that's preposterous Scarlet_Blade you're a whiner, QQ'er about losing all your gearz

Last night around midnight - 2 am EST was playing on Dallas 22 using version 1.7.1.2 This morning I joined a server said it was 1.7.1.2, but it was 1.7.1.0, Basically lost my primary and secondary (M4A1 CCO, G17) and the mags that went along with them. The mags in my backpack were still there. When I logged onto the 1.7.1.0 server, it gave me a makarov and 3 makarov mags. I'm not meaning to be pissy, but i've lost alot of my loot because of the recent patches (vehicle updates, new server versions etc.)...

Whenever I mess with new players (usually have a makarov) I run around in circles around them and they can't hit me... Melee might make my fun even more enjoyable :D

Does the bus actually have inventory? We had one the other night and couldn't access it...

> On a side note, for the first time since I started playing this mod, I ran across 3 people none of whom tried to kill me outright. Is this because they had no weapons to kill you with? :P

I'm calling you out as a tryhard. Clearly you're a gentle soul who has been misguided in the ways of DayZ :3

This song should be the official waiting for server reponse song. I'd love it to be played every time I have the waiting screen :D

I'm extremely salty over the gear I lost, I would of been completely fine if I would have been warned ahead of time. All I ask is, if anymore updates like this occur please let the community know a tad bit beforehand to prepare for it. I had ran for over 2+ hours out of debug plains, just to stash my gear and help some friends out, later checking the forums during a server crash and realize that all my stuff i'd looted is gone,

Has this happened yet?... I have a few weapons loaded onto vehicles that i'd prefer not to lose

Canada 2 isn't available for me? :\ Anyways' date=' I read the first post, but hopefully the team has pity for me... Name: Shame [NwO'] ID: 1809722 Place: Endless plains Was running the latest patch, the server crashed and I logged into the Debug plains...

Date/Time:6/15/12 11:00 PM est What happened:I'm stuck in the debug plains.... Player ID: 18097222 Where you were: Near Osha What you were doing:Wandering on *Current installed version: 1.60 *Server(s) you were on: US 131 *Your system specs: Doesn't have anything to do with this bug... *Timeline of events before/after error: Basically wandering around near Osha, server crashed, I relog and i'm in debug forest, swap to a different server to hopefully get out, but to no avail.

I didn't realize that was Destiny from SC2, he rages just about as bad as idra <_

That was awesome

YES-ish (?) Maybe like a random chance to have x general items starting out (IE; you might have a gun, but lack 1 can of food and canteen)

Happened to the server I was on yesterday as well, someone said that if you press V at the right time when falling you don't die, it worked for him, but not for many others lol

Where can you loot sand bags from?

Happens quite a bit, usually get hit through stairs/walls... Anyways mine happened yesterday, I introduced a few RL friends to DayZ a few days ago, and felt obliged to make their lives a little easier (I was out collecting alot of the tools mostly maps/compass/watch for them to have an easier way around the map. Then a server glitch/hacker made everyones primary/secondary and inventory disappear, so I was running around weaponless, finally found myself a winny, and heard/saw some poor guy in a treestand who aggro'd tons upon tons of zombies. Due to my good nature, we exchanged brief words saying "friendly" went over to help him. As soon as I got within 25 yards he stopped firing at the zeds, turned around and shot at me, missing most shots, I sepertined back across the open field, and just before I made it back to cover I hear my character grunt and die due to a headshot. I suppose I had it coming, you don't run into too many nice people these days. <_<

Same thing just happened on NY25
